Chapter 156 – I Was Thinking of Revealing the Truth
Kim Joo-won and I hadn’t exchanged a word with each other the whole time.
Perhaps it is because of the shock caused by the fact that each of them found out.
Me and the guy…
“I’ll spend the day here today.”
“What’s going on?”
“The house isn’t looking like it right now, so you probably won’t be able to sleep today.”
Sae-ah, who sent Kim Joo-won home first and returned to the hospital alone, was fast asleep.
In fact, it would be normal to sleep as long as the time is right, but I envy him so much that he sleeps alone without knowing that something big has happened.
The child probably doesn’t know.
What her mother and father were up to.
“Sister.”
It was then.
The moment she was about to leave with her new baby, she heard Seoyeon’s voice and stopped her steps.
She asked if it was hard to bear the fact that someone had been hurt because of her, looking at me with the dark marks of her tears on the corners of her eyes.
“How is it?”
Perhaps her throat, exhausted from crying, hadn’t loosened yet, her hoarse voice reached her ears.
…It was a moment, but I felt a moment of regret.
After all, those guys shouldn’t have been left alone.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Really?”
“Sure. It won’t happen in the future.”
Because in the future you see, they won’t be able to touch you again.
“So get some rest, my brother.”
The moment he heard those words, Seoyeon’s eyes trembled for a moment.
The words I said, my sister, seemed to resonate loudly in her heart.
A smile appeared on Seo-yeon’s face as she held her child in her hand and brushed her sister’s hair down.
“I’ll sleep a little.”
“Huh.”
Why do I feel like I have become a mother instead of an older sister when I see Seoyeon?
I’m definitely the mother of a child named Sae-ah.
“Father.”
“Leave Seoyeon with us and go in and rest.”
“Yes. Please.”
As she spoke while looking at Seoyeon who was asleep, she heard her father’s voice telling her not to worry.
My brother was looking at me and Seoyeon with complicated eyes.
“Then I’ll go in.”
But the steps back home were not light.
What if Kim Joo-won didn’t know about the truth of the world, she’s not sure yet, but since she started to question herself.
“I’m here.”
When he thinks about himself and fits in with this world.
In the end, you will be able to arrive at one truth.
“Huh.”
Is Kim Joo-won confused?
Her heart broke when she saw the face of the guy whose eyes didn’t smile even though the corners of her mouth were up.
“Great job.”
There was no strength in his voice.
* * *
A few days have passed since that happened.
The world went back as usual, as if it didn’t know what Kim Joo-won and I had done that day.
No matter where the outside force intervened, the story of the Astarte family was buried without a trace.
“Would you really mind if I cut it off? My hair is too precious…”
“I wanted to cut it from the beginning. It was a little uncomfortable. I don’t even care about my appearance.”
The hairdresser’s voice came from behind.
Now I wanted to cut her hair down to cover her butt, so I had made time today to visit the hairdresser.
“Well, it’s not like cutting it short, so it’s okay.”
I don’t know if cutting the hair that covers the buttocks all the way down to the wings isn’t cutting it short…
Even if the hairdresser said I was fine, was it a waste of the eyes of the person doing this job?
Even though he seems to be a little worried, he has no choice but to put his hand on my head at my strong request as a guest.
How much time has passed like that?
After I washed my hair and finished tidying up, I was able to see my somewhat tidy appearance reflected in the mirror.
“It’s done.”
The hairdresser’s voice sounded like something wasted.
However, I was much more satisfied looking at myself in the mirror.
It feels like almost all the remnants of the past have fallen away.
‘At least, it’s nice that I can’t see him back then.’
I looked in the mirror, looked at myself for a while, then paid the fee and left the hair salon.
I had to go home as soon as possible for Seo-yeon, who would be caught by Sae-ah at home by now and cry.
Just in case, I looked at the situation at home, and my sister was at a loss as to whether or not she could change diapers.
“I’m here, Seo Yeon-ah.”
“Sister!”
“Could you open the balcony window over there?”
I put the baby, who was begging for a quick change of diaper, to lie down and change the diaper.
Then, seeing Sae-ah quieted down, Seo-yeon put on a relieved expression and said, “Huh?” With a puzzled expression.
“Did it end sooner than expected?”
“Well, cut it. It’ll be over soon.”
“Huh, I had a good head, but it’s a waste.”
“Do you manage the management for me?”
“Since you’re an Awakener anyway, you’re going to be kept in order…”
She sat down on the sofa
Seoyeon, as if she had finished her work, lay down beside him and started looking at her phone.
As if she had forgotten about the horrible incident of days before, she smiled at her unwrinkled appearance.
“Sister.”
“Why.”
“My sister’s belly fat.”
When she lowered her head at those words, she noticed that her fingertips were slightly pinched, as if her really lean body was sending a signal.
When I touched her, feeling that she was a little softer than firm, she pushed her brother’s head away for no reason.
In fact, it’s embarrassing to even say she’s old.
“Lo is older than me.”
“No. I’m really hard on management these days.”
Still, she must have felt that way because her body was optimized for battle.
“I don’t really care.”
“Wow, bitick for real.”
“It’s all about going out and practicing for an hour a day. Oh, then what do you eat for lunch?”
“Um, I don’t have much to do today, so let’s eat some sliced cucumbers…”
She raised herself from her seat.
For lunch, I was thinking of filling it with the leftover bulgogi from yesterday’s subdivision.
“Really? Then I should eat bulgogi.”
“No, are you going to do that in front of someone on a diet?”
“Didn’t I say no?”
Her sister’s cute reaction made her smile.
You’re making fun of him for this taste.
“Chi.”
“Don’t think about not eating, think about moving, brother. Even though there’s nothing to subtract.”
“A filthy world where Awakeners can’t survive.”
“Or, when I practice for an hour, do you do it together?”
He makes fun of his younger brother who is pissed off from behind, and since he is bored with eating only cucumbers, he takes out two apples, peels them, and slices them to make them easier to eat.
Seo-yeon drools when she sees the heated bulgogi placed in front of her like a rice cake in the picture, but she won’t eat it because she says she manages it.
“Okay. How do you come here every day?”
“Then learn something like boxing. Martial arts are a lot of exercise.”
“Martial arts hurts when you get hit. And then it’s scary…”
“Modern martial arts is fine. And I don’t stick with people at first. I learn the basics.”
I remembered the time when Lee Seo-ha stabbed me in the heart.
After waking up, for some reason, almost all of the scars were gone…
“And how do you know. If you learn self-defense, it will help.”
“Uhm, is that so?”
“Yes. So, manage your weight with exercise, and call for bulgogi?”
“Your sister is really evil…”
I could just watch her drool, laugh at her and eat her lunch.
And she knew one thing.
Even though there was meat she liked so much in front of her, she was a bitch who forcibly endured it.
But Seoyeon couldn’t stay long.
I might be fine, but she was still quite uncomfortable with Kim Joo-won.
Unlike what he did to me back in the day, I know he’s serious now.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Yeah, be careful going in. Birdie, you should say goodbye to your aunt.”
“Abuu~.”
It is an undeniable fact that my life was tied to two people because of my wrong actions at that time.
She still cared about that fact.
‘It’ll be fine.’
However, I couldn’t afford to worry about that part now.
At that time, the guy who listened to the truth that the head of Astarte spewed out and I…
Since that day, the conversation has decreased quite a bit.
‘Perhaps he knew.’
Of course, it’s just that the conversation has decreased a little, but he says his attitude toward me isn’t that different from before that day…
Nevertheless, when Kim Joo-won came to her house, she would be alone in her thoughts.
Maybe, in conjunction with my future manipulation ability, he knew that I was the author of the novel.
“Huh, it’s Sae-ah. Do you know how Mommy should tell Daddy?”
What a shock it would be if her own life began with her novel, which was only written by someone else.
Especially if it’s a guy who has gone through many painful times going through regression.
“Mom, I don’t know. What she’s going to do.”
Seeing Sae-ah looking around with a curious look at everything in the world while holding her in her arms, I asked the child that for no reason.
Tick.
Inside the house where only the sound of the second hand of the clock resonates.
At the end of my words, in the house where silence came, I cleared the table and sat on the sofa and waited for him to come.
This evening.
Before Kim Joo-won left, I had told him to come early so that we could talk in the evening.
I was thinking of revealing the truth.
What novel did you start with, and who wrote it?
The novel I wrote as Lee Soo-hyun is not in this world.
‘Note…’
The notebook I kept in that novel is here.
It was said that it was not very useful when I needed it, but it was a thing that I wrote down everything that Lee Seo-hara would not know at this time.
“I’m here.”
How long did you wait for him like that?
Beating heart.
The boy’s voice was heard in his ears.
I got up from my seat.
