Chapter 315 – Side Story Episode 2
There are times in life when you come across someone like that.
So… Should I say I’m a strangely lucky person?
People who succeed alone when everyone else fails, or who succeed in a way they never thought of when they were sure to fail.
How about speaking within our family?
Sehan was in that case.
Do I really have to say that I am incredibly lucky?
It wasn’t that Senna secretly took Sehan to her room whenever she needed to strengthen an item or something.
The person himself is really shitty enough to laugh out loud, but Sae-han really succeeds when he presses it.
It’s not like me when I used the lucky four-leaf clover, but I think it’s lower than that.
Sehan’s luck was that much, but he had never seen it in earnest until now.
That would be the case, because whenever Senna showed signs of doing so, I would step forward and block him.
Why did you bother so much?
Simple.
It’s good to borrow the power of my son, but since nothing has been decided yet, it’s the children’s future, so it was my idea that I wanted to avoid a situation where the children’s faces were exposed on TV if possible.
If all the people in the world were angels, like the lyrics of a song that vaguely lingered in my memory, I would have handled it more loosely… Unfortunately, that’s not the case in reality.
Fortunately, Senna, Gina, and Gayoung also agreed to my wishes.
Anyway, because of that relationship, Sehan’s bizarre luck has never been highlighted so far… And thanks to that, it often breaks out at unexpected timing.
Just like now.
It must have been the day Sehan was vaccinated.
Originally, I would have accompanied Sena as a rule, but that day Sena had an urgent schedule, so instead I went with Gayoung, who was resting at home…
On the way back from the vaccination, Ga-yeong came out and asked if it would be a good idea to stop by the mart for a while and see groceries, so I headed to the mart.
And just as I was about to go home after finishing my groceries at the mart I heard like that, there was a raffle event going on for those who had purchased more than 100,000 won.
Initially?
I was just going to go back or not.
That’s because there were so many people waiting in line to draw lots.
So I was just going to go back… I wonder if there was something very strange in Saehan’s eyes that a lot of people gathered and picked something in turn.
He said he wanted to try it once, so he left Sehan with Gayoung for a while, put the purchased items in the trunk of the car, and came back.
In the meantime, Saehan, who was in Gayoung’s arms, approached the lottery box and pushed his hand in to see if everyone’s turn had ended.
Until then?
I really had no idea.
It was inevitable because all the people who had applied for the lottery earlier were returning with towels in their hands.
So we thought it would be a towel at least…
The atmosphere changed when Sehan proudly held out the thing he had drawn from the lottery box to Gayoung.
I wonder if it was the same for Gayoung that I didn’t expect much.
Before that, Gayoung’s eyes, which had been smiling happily as if seeing Sehan diligently picking out swallows instead of looking expectant, suddenly turned round.
“This person···”
And not long after, the expression of the person in charge of the event accepting the lot that Saehan held out changed to be similar to Gayoung.
“First place…! Congratulations!”
Tell me what to do
What Saehan picked was a lot with ‘1st place’ written on it.
And speaking of the first prize, it was a three-day, two-night accommodation voucher at a famous Japanese ryokan.
It’s obvious, but both I and Gayoung were confused by the sudden luck.
Apart from that, I felt the need to use it somehow as long as I won.
“Now that it’s like this, shall we go on a trip to Japan together?”
Initially?
I thought that wouldn’t be too bad.
It was because of the conversation with Ga-young that followed that I realized that it was impossible in reality.
“That wouldn’t be bad either… But I don’t know if it’ll be okay to get on a plane after passing by…”
“Ah···”
Tell me what to do
The second Numan Im incident, which opened its curtain with Gina’s declaration of war a while ago, ended with Gina’s pregnancy.
Thanks to that, recently, Gina was taking a break from exercising, which she loved so much, and was focusing on stability.
So me and Gayoung, it’s a bit of a shame, but I was about to give up…
“Don’t do that, you two go.”
“Yes···?”
Unexpectedly, Gina gave permission.
At first, of course, I tried to refuse.
Even though Gina is a strong type of human being, it was a bit like leaving her alone in the early stages of pregnancy, and I thought it might be something like a test.
So I said it was okay several times… I wonder if it wasn’t like a test, but was it sincere?
No matter how many times I said it was okay, Gina didn’t give up easily.
“Although I, Mom, and Senna are all busy with work, and Yuhan seems to be suffering more alone, so I was worried, but it turned out well. Now, rest well for a few days or so.”
“Ah···”
“Of course… It’s kind of hard to say instead, but you’ll know later, right?”
That way, she winked at me once, then Gina beat her chest loudly, telling her kids and Senna to trust only her.
And should she really say that she is Gina Gina.
In the end, Sena took on the role of taking care of her children and Gina, so she remained in Korea.
“No, why am I…”
“That’s why you shouldn’t have been a little sincere normally.”
Gina, who dismissed Sena’s muttering with just one word, no more, no less, came out and saw the two of us off, holding her hand tightly with Gayoung.
“You know? I’m sending them off with a big heart, so don’t worry about me and the kids and have a good rest.”
“···Huh.”
“Mother too.”
Was it that he was moved by Gina’s attitude?
To check Gayoung’s reaction, she glanced at her, and at some point she noticed that the corners of Gayoung’s eyes were slightly wet, but watery.
“Are you really going to be okay? It’ll just pass later and once you’ve settled down, we’ll all go together…”
Could it be that she couldn’t erase her worries about her daughter apart from him?
A worried voice came out of Ga-young’s mouth, but it was much faster for her to push the two of us on the back and put us in the car than for Ga-yeong to take action.
“It’s okay. I’m not alone, and Sena is there too, so what?”
“Still···”
“Of course, it’s true that Sena is a bit untrustworthy, but even if she looks like this, she’s also a baby’s mother, right? I’m sure she’ll do her part.”
Did he respond to Gina’s voice?
She heard another muttering voice from behind her, but this time, too, she didn’t last long.
“Anyway! Make sure to call me as soon as you arrive, okay? In case something happens in between, call me first.”
“Huh.”
The place where she left her house and arrived was a place called New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido.
And from there, after driving another hour, we arrived at a place called Noboribetsu.
To be honest… I didn’t expect that much until I arrived.
That would be the case, because I thought that since it was a lodging coupon I received at a prize recommendation event, I would definitely stay at an accommodation facility with a reasonable price.
So, I was thinking of moving to a better place nearby, just in case… What is this?
As soon as we got out of the car, what appeared in front of us was a huge ryokan like you would only see in a manga or anime.
Thanks to that, me and Ga-young standing next to me were standing at the entrance in a slightly flustered state.
An employee dressed in traditional Japanese attire came out and started guiding us.
Even that, it’s not just chatting to yourself in Japanese… It’s a bit clumsy, but they give you a guide in Korean.
And as a result of listening to the explanation of the staff that continued in that way to the end, what I learned was that the place where we stayed for 2 nights and 3 days was more proper than I thought.
The strangest thing is that there is a separate building dedicated to hot springs instead of the bath attached to the guest room building.
Judging from Gayoung’s startled reaction at the mention of mixed bathing there, it seemed that she would never visit there while staying here.
“Then, rest in peace.”
“Yes… Thank you…”
And by entering the room where we stayed for 3 days and 2 nights following the staff who took the lead in guiding us… The 3 days and 2 nights of living in a ryokan with Gayoung alone began.
