Chapter 265 – Part 1
Turning back time a bit, while Yuhan and Sena were fighting in the middle of the pool, Jina had just finished cleaning up and was entering the villa.
The one who greeted her was her Ga-young, who was guarding the inside of her villa alone.
Although he had acted like that to give back as much as he had received, did he not think that he would run into Ga-young as soon as he entered the room?
As she was about to cross the front door, Na’s body stopped as it was, showing quite a bit of agitation for her.
Of course, Gayoung’s condition wasn’t very good either.
It was because of a sense of shame that she chose to remain alone in her villa in the first place.
I was moved to tears because of the provocation that had been made in a showy way, so I ended up committing it.
I did, but… The problem was next.
After the emotions that forced her to move had gone, it was the feeling of self-doubt that came and took its place as if she had been waiting for it.
The sense of shame that comes from the fact that he did such a thing because he was jealous of her daughter and not anyone else.
Ga-young, who was left alone in her villa, was being tormented by that emotion, and she came in at the right moment.
Since each situation was like that, the atmosphere flowing between the two couldn’t be better, and thanks to that, it was an awkward and heavy silence that naturally settled between the two.
I have to do it somehow, but that’s why it must have been the middle of the day that I was looking at the other person’s eyes hard while coughing at each other.
“Hmmmm… That… Who is Yuhan?”
Of the two, it was none other than Gina who stepped forward and tried to break the silence that was like a solid wall.
Gayoung felt relieved and embarrassed at the same time.
The relief came from the fact that the silence, which was so heavy that it even felt like her shoulders were being weighed down, was finally broken, and the embarrassment came from the fact that she left the task to her daughter, Gina, even though she couldn’t step forward as an adult.
Is that why?
Her silence was broken, but Ga-young’s voice and expression were still awkward as she answered Gina’s question with a cautious voice.
“If it’s finite, it’ll be in the backyard…”
“···Okay?
“Huh···”
Now that she’s figured out what she’s been curious about anyway, she’ll most likely head to her backyard to see Yuhan.
Then she’ll be able to catch her breath.
So, she even slightly moved aside from her, but the words that she hadn’t even thought came out of Gina’s mouth.
“…That’s good.”
It was confusing.
That’s because I didn’t know what the heck was going on.
“Then… Shall we talk for a moment, Mom?”
“Well, I have to prepare dinner soon…”
“I’ll be there to help, so let’s talk.”
She couldn’t bear to deny it.
Because she had the expression and voice that was as determined and serious as she was.
What the hell is she trying to say?
Like before she left Korea, is she thinking of giving a warning or something?
If she was like that, she herself had something to say.
‘No matter how uninhabited it is…’
Just because there are no eyes of others around you, you shouldn’t do such a thing just like that.
I thought that there would definitely be conversations like that, so I chose the ones that fit well with it.
The moment they sat face-to-face with the barbecue ingredients provided by the company in the middle, this time, as always, remarks that shattered their expectations pierced Gina’s lips.
“Mom, who do you think Yuhan will choose among the three of us?”
It couldn’t have been, but the question itself was thrown in a non-trivial manner.
So I felt like I was asked to answer comfortably without burdening myself… But I still couldn’t answer the question.
It had been a long time since I was speechless the moment I heard those words.
How can you answer when your voice won’t come out?
“Mom? Or me? Or are you counting?”
Besides, there was no such thing as certainty.
Because the opponent was too strong to be sure.
Unlike others, I was also active.
That’s why I couldn’t answer… It seems that I didn’t ask the question hoping for an answer in the first place.
If it wasn’t for that, there’s no reason to show a disinterested expression like that when this side hasn’t said a single word since a while ago.
“When I see you…”
Was he thinking of declaring that he would definitely be the one who would be chosen by Yuhan?
Unlike myself, I thought that Jina, who was active and had no hesitation, could do that enough.
“I don’t think I can choose.”
“···What?”
“I don’t think I can choose.”
There was a strangely strong conviction in Jina’s voice when she said that, so I couldn’t help but ask why.
“Why do you think so? That’s right… Yuhan is greedy.”
So in the end, Gina was convinced that there was no choice but to hesitate.
“And then, well… It’s going to fizzle out in the end.”
“…”
“But… That’s not the ending I want.”
Gina raised an expression of displeasure on her face, saying that she hates ending up in a state that is neither this nor that way.
“Isn’t it nice to have everything neat?”
“… What do you want to say?”
“I just mean… It’s obvious that if we leave it to Yuhan, we’ll just hesitate and then fade away, so let’s set our own standards.”
“If it’s standard…”
What are you talking about?
I couldn’t tell.
“Anyway, you know that a relationship like this can’t last forever, right?”
Of course he knew.
It may seem like a family that cares for and loves each other now, but if that condition continues, in the end you will have no choice but to live in the eyes of suspicion.
“So… Shouldn’t at least one of the three be formally married to Yuhan?”
“…”
I didn’t know anything else, but I couldn’t just let that word go.
I couldn’t know what it meant to be officially married.
I’m sure you’re talking about marriage.
Marriage.
The word rang quite loudly in my head.
I’ve thought about that maybe, but I had no choice but to do it because I never seriously thought that there was little possibility.
So I was silent
“But… If it’s a matter of how to decide that one person, that’s a problem…”
Jina, who tossed such an enormous word on the table in a nonchalant voice, continued to speak.
“So I’ve been thinking about it for a while?”
“…”
“How to set the alternative standard so that the other two will accept the result and step down neatly…”
Gina’s voice was very serious.
“Thinking about it, I can only think of one thing.”
So what is it?
“Why… It’s often said that babies get their fortunes from the sky, don’t they?”
‘No way···’
“That’s what mom thinks.”
“Gina, you…”
“Why? Isn’t this the cleanest and the best?
I couldn’t figure out where to start or how to point it out.
To that extent… My mind was confused.
Airani.
It was more so when it was a topic that I had never thought of beyond marriage.
“Ho, isn’t it something you don’t know about? Gina is different from what you think…”
So, there was nothing I could do other than talk like that.
“Isn’t Yuhan able to choose one of the three of us?”
“···Huh.”
“Then would you like us to make a simple bet?”
“Bet···?”
And that was also the reason for the tension between the two.
In the bet that was made like that, Jina asserted that Yuhan would not even be able to choose which of the two to sit next to, and Gayoung cast her vote for not going to that extent.
What if Yuhan couldn’t choose one of the two here?
In the end, you will have no choice but to follow the conditions Gina said.
So… I wanted you to choose.
If I was going to choose one of the two, it seemed like I wouldn’t want anything more if I chose this one.
However, there was no way that Yuhan knew the contents of the conversation between the two of them, so Yuhan, who suddenly caught the eyes of the two, felt only embarrassment and embarrassment.
‘No···’
Why is the atmosphere like this?
Could it be that the two of you exchanged a few words while arguing with Sena?
‘No, it’s the first day…’
If the atmosphere is already like this, it will be replaced later…
It must have been the moment when I was thinking about those worries in my mind.
The two, who had been staring at each other without saying anything, began to make significant movements for the first time.
“What are you doing? Are you going to keep standing like that?”
After saying that, Gina slipped away and sat down next to her, tapping the empty seat with her hand until it made a popping sound.
As if to come over here and sit down.
Gayoung’s response to Gina’s behavior was—
Swoop…
It was a little bit to the side without saying a word.
“Okay, come and sit down.”
That’s how she urged me after creating an empty seat next to her.
‘No, what is this…’
What’s really going on
Literally, in a situation where the two mothers and daughters competed between me, as a man, my chest grew magnificent, but at the same time, I felt cold sweat dripping down my back.
That would be the case, because I intuitively felt the two of them still not taking their eyes off me.
If you choose one side here, the one who wasn’t chosen will be angry even if you get angry.
Can I afford that?
I imagined it once.
I imagined it… Eventually, I smiled awkwardly and headed toward the one-person sofa exquisitely placed between the two.
No matter how you think about it, the burden was too heavy and too big to handle from the first day.
I sat down on the single-seat sofa with my buttocks carefully attached… Why did the two of them react strangely?
Since neither of them chose either, I thought that both would be quite disappointed even if they didn’t show it too much, but Gayoung was the only one who showed a face close to disappointment.
On the other hand, what was Gina’s expression like… I don’t know why, but it was an elated expression.
Should I say that I felt like I was boasting that I knew it would happen?
“But what are you making?”
While feeling doubtful about Jina’s reaction, which was different from what was expected, I asked while looking at her to arouse the atmosphere that was still tense and to comfort Ga-yeong, who seemed disappointed, but the answer came from the other side.
“Oh, this? What was this… Shaslik?”
“Shashlik? What is Shashlik?”
“I heard it’s Russian-style skewers? Is that right, Mom?”
“Yes···”
Well, that’s right.
No, it’s that part. Even so, why are the real expressions like this?
I was concerned about Gayoung’s expression, which looked sullen and serious at the same time, but in fact, the fact that Jina was floating over her face bothered me even more.
I had no choice but to do that because, unlike Gayoung, who could understand it to some extent, Gina didn’t understand why she was reacting that way.
In a situation where you deserve to be disappointed, you have a look that makes you feel good for some reason?
I mean, there was a reason for that…
‘How···’
What is it?
While I was arguing with Sena outside, what the hell were the two of them talking about so that Jina’s reaction was like that?
Feeling her head sinking into an uncontrollable confusion—
“Can I put corn in here too?”
“Oh, doesn’t that sound delicious?”
First of all, I pretended to focus on preparing dinner without showing off too much.
Pretending to be focused on that, she rolled her eyes unobtrusively, keeping an eye on the atmosphere of Jina and Gayoung.
