Chapter 43 – Seohyun? ②
^-^
As Lee Seo-yeon and Lee Seo-young appeared at the same time, Seohyun, who came in first, asked ‘Who are you?’ It was Lee Sol-ah who was perplexed while looking at it with the gaze of
When Seohyun saw Sol-ah like that, she didn’t know what to do.
Before coming to her grandpa’s house, she’s thinking about what to do in the car… She then thinks she’s gone and remembers that she just went to sleep.
As Seohyun hesitated, repeating opening and closing her mouth, Lee Seoyoung grabbed Seohyun’s arm and went inside her. She grinned and said,
“Is she Seohyun? Can’t you recognize her?”
“…! Who, ah. Uh, sister…?!”
Suddenly, Seohyun, who didn’t know how to say it openly, opened her eyes wide and was startled.
“······Huh?”
Lee Sol-ah looked at Lee Seo-young with her face asking what that meant.
Lee Seo-young raised her finger to Sol-ah and pointed at her Seo-hyeon and said it again.
“Seohyun! It’s my sister Seohyun.”
“······Seohyun oppa…?”
“Huh!”
Lee Sol-ah looked at Seohyun, and she still had a face of disbelief.
Honestly, in this situation, I couldn’t believe it even if it was me.
Because she wasn’t the cousin Seohyun she originally knew, but she was suddenly referring to someone else, a woman at that, as her cousin Seohyun.
The Seohyeon that Sol-ah Lee had in her head was her brother, and the person in front of her now was a complete woman who could hardly be called her brother.
But all of a sudden, someone who is completely different from Seohyun is being called Seohyun. How many people can believe that?
“…Eh, don’t play around unnie!! How can this person be Seohyun’s oppa!! He looks like a girl just by looking at it!!”
In the end, Sol-ah Lee, who still couldn’t believe it, shouted at her not to play around, and Seohyun’s family, who knew the truth about her, were racking their brains over how to explain this.
At that time, Lee Seo-young secretly started whispering in Seo-hyun’s ear.
“It’s okay. I told you I had an idea.”
“Sister…? What is that—”
Hearing that, Seohyun was going to ask what the hell he was thinking…
“She was originally a woman!”
Lee Seo-young’s words came out faster.
“…!?”
“···Yes?!”
After hearing Lee Seo-young’s words, Seo-hyeon was surprised at the strange words she suddenly heard, making a face asking what that sister was talking about.
Sol-ah Lee felt like her head was spinning from hearing the words she couldn’t believe so many times.
“Seo, Seohyun oppa was originally a girl…? So, the Seohyun oppa I’ve been seeing was actually an older sister, not an older brother… No, that doesn’t make sense…? Seohyun oppa is an older brother…? How can oppa be? Became an older sister…?”
Sol-ah Lee, feeling the limits of her information processing, was muttering with a face as if she had lost her mind somewhere.
‘No, this was the thought I said in the car…’
When her paternal grandfather came to her house, in her car, he said with a spleen expression, ‘It’s okay. I have an idea.’ I thought she had some great idea, but she just didn’t know that she would say outright that she was originally a woman.
It was at that time when Seohyun was putting on her embarrassed face as she watched her cousin muttering.
The front door was noisy, so her dad’s younger brother, who came to see what was going on, greeted Lee Kang-heon.
“Oh, brother, are you here? Why are you so late?”
“Oh, yes. It’s a little late.”
“Hello brother-in-law too.”
“Oh, yes. Hello.”
Dad and mom greeted each other and greeted each other with the little dad.
The eyes of Lee Yong-heon, the little father who exchanged greetings with Lee Kang-heon, turned to us.
“It’s been a while, Seoyeon. You’ve grown up a lot.”
“···Hello.”
Lee Yong-heon greeted Lee Seo-yeon, and Lee Seo-yeon greeted them face-to-face.
“Haha. You’re still blunt. It’s been a while since Seoyoung.”
“Hello.”
Lee Yong-heon, who exchanged greetings with Lee Seo-yeon, turned his gaze to Lee Seo-young next to him and exchanged greetings with Lee Seo-young, and lastly turned his attention to the remaining Seo-hyun…
The words that came out of Lee Yong-heon’s mouth couldn’t help but embarrass Seohyun.
“Uh… Is Seohyun your girlfriend?”
“······Yes?”
The person in front is Seohyun, but she misunderstood Seohyun as Seohyun’s girlfriend.
As Seohyun hesitated about what to say with her embarrassed face, she apologized by placing her hand on her head as if Lee Yong-hun, who had misunderstood the appearance, was embarrassed.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I thought Seohyun was her girlfriend…”
“······”
Then, sneaking a sidelong glance at Lee Kang-heon, he sent a glance asking who this person was and why he had brought him here, now that it was his father’s birthday.
“Uh, that…”
However, even Lee Kang-heon, who received attention, was hesitant because he did not know what to say.
However, in a situation where no one could say anything, Lee Seo-young took a step forward and opened her mouth, just like before.
“I’m Seohyun!”
“Huh?”
Lee Seo-young grabbed her Seo-hyun’s arm and held her in front of her, then pointed her finger at her and said.
“Here, Seohyun!”
Then Lee Yong-heon looked at Lee Seo-young and snorted at her as if telling her not to talk nonsense.
“This guy. Is he kidding little daddy now?”
“I’m not!”
Lee Seo-young shook her head and replied, but Lee Yong-heon still thought that Lee Seo-young was playing a joke on her.
“Ehehe. Don’t play around? Where is the real Seohyun?”
“Here I am!!”
Lee Seo-young was frustrated when she saw Lee Seo-young, who couldn’t believe her even though she was telling the truth.
“Stop it now. If you keep doing that, will your little dad get angry?”
“It’s real…!! It’s really Seohyun…”
Lee Yong-heon, who still thought he was joking around, called his older brother, Lee Kang-heon, who was next to him to see if it would work in the end.
“Hyung, say something too, Seoyoung keeps playing around!”
To Lee Kang-heon, Lee Kang-heon cautiously nodded his head and said.
“That’s right, Seohyun.”
“Uh?”
Lee Yong-heon was taken aback by those words, but as Lee Kang-heon, he was only telling the truth.
The person in front is her son, Seohyun. What should I say here?
Lee Kang-heon was speaking only the truth without any lies.
“No, hyung. What do you mean by this now? Does that mean that the lady is now your brother’s son, Seohyun?”
“···Huh.”
“······”
Lee Yong-heon said as if he was dumbfounded, and Lee Kang-heon nodded and replied.
However, despite Lee Kang-heon’s reply, Lee Yong-heon, who still looked disbelieving, spoke as if arguing.
“No, do you think that makes sense right now? A son, a son! A brother’s son! But how can that lady be a brother’s son? Is everyone playing a joke on me right now?”
Looking at Lee Yong-heon, who told him not to talk nonsense, Lee Kang-heon said with a serious expression.
“When did you see me lie?”
Seeing Lee Kang-heon’s expression, Lee Yong-heon calmed down and replied.
“… My older brother doesn’t lie…”
“That’s right-“
After Lee Kang-heon was trying to answer, Lee Yong-heon started to pour out his words like rapping like a rapid-fire gun.
“Ever since I was little, I had a sense of justice, so I didn’t get over it when I saw injustice, and I didn’t tell that common lie, so I just told my mom what I wanted to hide…”
“······Brother.”
“That’s what my older brother says, so you have to believe this, right?”
“······”
Lee Kang-heon looked at Lee Yong-heon with a gaze as if asking if he still remembered the incident.
It seems that little daddy suffered a little too much from my dad…
Well, anyway, it must have happened because I passed somehow?
Just then, a mumbling voice was heard, and someone appeared at the front door.
“They haven’t come in since they said they arrived… Huh?”
That someone was none other than Seohyun’s paternal grandmother, that is, her father’s biological mother, Jang Jeong-suk.
My paternal grandmother, who had come out to the front door to look for our family, who had not yet shown up after calling that they had arrived, found us at the front door.
“Hey, if you came, you’d come in a long time ago. Why are you still here?”
“Oh, it hurts mom…”
Suddenly, she heard her paternal grandmother approach and slap her father’s back with her smash.
Jang Jeong-sook, who neatly ignored Lee Kang-heon, who was tying her aching back, greeted her daughter-in-law, Kim Ji-hee.
“My daughter-in-law! It’s been a while.'”
“Yes hello, mother.”
Paternal grandmother, who exchanged quick greetings with her dad and her mom, turned her head towards us.
Then he approached her with his arms open and began to hug her one by one.
“Oh, my pretty babies!”
I hugged Lee Seo-yeon, and then I hugged Lee Seo-yeong, who was next to her.
She tried to hug Seohyun, who was next to Lee Seoyoung, but when she saw Seohyun, Jang Jeongsuk had no choice but to stop.
Naturally, the person I thought was Seohyun wasn’t Seohyun, but there was a completely different person.
Jang Jeong-suk, who was hesitant, turned her head slightly and asked Lee Kang-heon.
“Who is this pretty wife? Seohyun’s girlfriend?”
“······”
I felt like I had to repeat what I said once.
“Mom, let’s go in.”
“Oh, draw it.”
Leaving behind Seohyun, who was wondering what to say this time, Lee Kang-heon grabbed her paternal grandmother by the shoulder and turned her body around to enter her.
Seohyun thought that this was better for her.
She had been on the porch too long, and when she had said this, it was her turn to tell everyone in her family.
To be honest… I felt a little nervous.
No matter how much, it’s because it’s revealed at the place where the whole family gathers.
However, there was still a feeling of ‘expectation’ in one corner of my heart.
‘What will happen after I reveal that I have become a woman?’ That is the expectation.
I was also curious about her paternal grandfather’s reaction.
