Chapter 1118 – My Puppy! You Missed Grandma a Lot, Right?
The Hyeji I knew was not like this. Although she was a timid child who didn’t talk much and wore her hair carelessly, she was a very smiling and kind girl.
“Hyeji. You have grown up a lot. Have you grown a little taller than before?”
“No.”
“Oh, really? So you’re not fat? “I am a senior in high school due to the stress of taking exams,”
“… !”
“Oh, yes. “I’m sorry.”
However, in just over a year and a half, she became a strangely nervous child. Her long hair was cut into two blocks, and she didn’t wash it often, giving off an unpleasant body odor. It was so hard to find her old self.
“Oh my, really?”
“Is that so? Jiheon, this guy is secretly a pee peeer. “Last time I peed on the electric blanket, ugh!”
“Oh my ♥”
What are you looking at? Why are you looking at the bottom?
While he was experiencing the uncomfortable atmosphere that Hyeji was giving off, the Demon King was condescending and chatted happily with her eldest aunt.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The good news for her was that it wasn’t long until she reached her grandmother’s house. I could hear the cries of the white dog that her grandfather let loose in the yard, and just around the corner I would see a familiar gate.
“Oh my! Oh, my!”
“Uh! “Grandma!”
“Mom! Why are you here? It’s cold!”
Contrary to this expectation, as soon as I turned the corner, I ran into her grandmother, who came to meet me despite the chilly fall weather. The grandmother who found us was so happy that she clapped and quickly approached us.
“My puppy! “My puppy is here!”
“Hello! Let’s say I’m Baek So-hee, who married my grandson.”
“My puppy!”
“Grandma?!”
Her grandmother, a stunning white beauty, didn’t even seem to catch her eye. It was the same with her great-aunt, her biological child, and Hye-ji, her granddaughter.
“My puppy! “You missed her grandma a lot, right?”
Pang pang!
“Huh?! Grandma! “Grandma!”
Without any hesitation, the grandmother approached me, hugged me, and patted my butt several times. Of course, she didn’t like it, but she was married, and she wasn’t treated like a father-to-be.
“No, Mom. Don’t you care about her biological children and her granddaughter? “Is there a grandchild-in-law here?”
“Hohoho, grandma cares for Jiheon a lot.”
As her face grew hot, the older mother smiled slightly and pointed at the demon king. The Demon King waved his hand saying it was okay, and then his blue eyes sparkled with mischief. As if he was going to make fun of this forever.
“… Ha.”
Meanwhile, Hyeji snorted at the sight of her grandmother being happy to see only me. At the same time, a look of knowing this would happen appeared on her face, even as she laughed.
“This is why… Patriarch…”
At the same time, her muttered words, like before, were too quiet to be heard. This time, I tried to look away from the demon king, but her grandmother started massaging various parts of my body.
“My puppy! My puppy! Are you okay now?”
“Yes? No, it’s me, grandma. “I’m fine,”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore, right? Now, Grandma’s hand is weak!”
“… !”
The places her grandmother concentrated on massaging were her left shoulder, her right side, and again her left thigh. To be exact, it was where my gunshot scar was located.
Now, he is fine and married to a woman, married to her younger sister, married to the head of a small business, and engaged to a female police officer who is his age, but until the beginning of this year, he was lying in a coma in the intensive care unit.
“It’s okay, Grandma. “I don’t feel any pain.”
He held her wrinkled hand and gently stopped her. But her grandmother looked at her and said that she was still worried.
“Are you taking your medicine regularly?”
“I ate so much that I’m not eating it all now.”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore?”
“It doesn’t hurt at all. Ah, but it gets a little chilly when it rains.”
“Okay? Does it hurt a lot?”
She just said she was a little sick, but her grandmother held my hand tightly with both of her hands, with sad eyes in her eyes. She said so while stroking her hand to her grandchild.
“If you get sick, go to the hospital right away. Go and listen carefully to what the doctor says. The nurse lady too, huh?”
“Oh.”
“Puppy. “What is this?”
My grandmother was stroking my hand when she noticed a card-shaped tattoo on her wrist. She was so careless that she forgot to pay attention.
“Ugh.”
Her grandmother spat a little of her spit on her thumb and rubbed her wrist. If she said that, it wasn’t a tattoo.
“Oh, my grandmother.”
“… This guy!”
The old lady looked up and there was no worry about me in her eyes. A fierce anger struck her harsh palms along with her young gaze.
“Once! You’ve had a hard time! On your body! “Doodling!”
“Ah, ah! Grandma! “Grandma!”
“Where else have you done it but here! Take off your clothes!”
“Well, that’s all I did!”
Obviously, her grandmother is a normal person and is older, so her physical strength is probably weaker than others, but the hand she is swinging now is as painful as when she was hit by the demon lord.
“Fuha! Ahahaha! Ah, ha! Ahahaha!”
Meanwhile, the Demon King, who was watching all of this right next to him, burst out laughing. Following her, her eldest aunt also began to laugh, and her wisdom also slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
“What! Jiheon, did you get a tattoo? Let’s see!”
“… “Sunmun-chung.”
I only did one thing, so why am I a tattoo junkie! I wanted to say this to Hyeji with a slightly happy heart. But she couldn’t because her grandmother’s hands were constantly swinging.
“Mom! Ask your mom to come… But who are you?”
Just when the spark was about to spread to her mother, her grandmother finally found the devil. As soon as the demon king met her grandmother’s eyes, he gave her a greeting that he had never done before.
“Hello, grandma! “My name is Baek So-hee, and I am married to my grandson!”
“Sohee? Baek So-hee?”
“Yes! Although I look like a foreigner, I am a Korean born in Korea! Your passport is also a Korean passport! Here, I have my ID card too!”
“It’s done. Clean it up.”
She was about to take out her wallet containing her ID card when her grandmother waved her hand. Then she turned her attention to her great aunt and Hyeji.
“Oh, are you here?”
“Mom! We almost felt disappointed!”
“It’s noisy. So, is our Hyeji also here?”
“… Yes.”
Unlike her great aunt, who treated her bluntly, she immediately smiled happily at Hyeji. When Hyeji saw her grandmother like that, she greeted her in a slightly softer manner.
“Hello.”
“Yes, yes. Have you eaten? If you haven’t eaten, let’s eat together. Her grandmother prepared everything. Come on, Jiheon. “You too.”
“Me too? No, in our market,”
“It’s a market? Okay. Let’s go quickly.”
Asking if I had eaten was just a simple courtesy. Her grandmother turned her body as if she would burst our stomach any moment soon.
“You. “Just a moment.”
Seeing her grandmother like that, the devil took the luggage in my hands. He handed me back the paper box I brought from the health center earlier and approached him holding a paper bag containing pine mushrooms.
“Grandma. This is a bit weak, but…”
Her grandmother glanced at the paper bag she held out to her. When she saw the shabby package, just like the one she had given to her relatives, she spoke bluntly.
“Okay. “It is weak.”
“Yes? No, this was packed in a hurry. Instead, what’s inside is pine mushrooms, grandma.”
“Matsutake mushrooms?”
“Yes. Natural pine iber,”
“Hmph, thank you.”
Even though she knew the identity of the gift, she responded bluntly and did not accept it. She realized it too late, but her grandmother didn’t seem to like her granddaughter-in-law.
“…”
The self-proclaimed first love of everyone and the Demon King who was loved by everyone looked at me in confusion. She had a blank expression on her face, as if this kind of situation was rare.
“It’s like that.”
Before I could say anything, my eldest aunt comforted the devil. The devil put his hand on her shoulder and followed behind her, telling her that it was okay.
“I didn’t like it when my children brought someone to marry. It was the same with me too. But I didn’t know that my grandchildren were like that, too.”
“So, are you going?”
“But it only happens at first, and after a while, it stops. “I’m sure you’ll be happy to die soon when you see your great-grandchildren, right?”
“Hohoho, I need to have a baby quickly.”
Demon King, who seemed to have recovered from the shock of rejection, patted his stomach and walked away with his great aunt. I followed Hyeji side by side.
“…”
“Oh, this?”
Hyeji lifted her wrist and showed me the tattoo on it.
“I did it to commemorate my return alive.”
“…”
“There is nothing else. “I have no intention of doing it.”
“… “Hmph.”
She just snorted and looked away without any response. She thought it was an opportunity to break up the awkward atmosphere, but it seems she was mistaken.
“Oh my, the house is really nice.”
The Demon King, who passed through the gate with his aunt first, was impressed by the garden. Afterward, I went in and looked around my grandmother’s house, where I had been visiting for the first time in a long time.
Thanks to the rise in land prices where they previously lived, her grandmother and grandfather lived in a better place. The neat, one-story brick house with a small garden reminded me at first glance of Mawang and Sehee’s parents’ house.
“Jiheon.”
The Demon King seemed to have thought of the same thing as me. She stopped walking for a moment and waited for me to approach, then whispered in her usual tone of voice.
“You were quite rich too, weren’t you?”
It seemed like the fact that I always made fun of him for being rich because of his parents’ family stayed in his mind. But it didn’t mean I had nothing to say.
“Even if the land price here goes up dozens of times, it’s still cheaper than your house. Do you know?”
Haha.”
I live in a mansion built in a place famous for being a wealthy neighborhood, but I don’t know why it’s not a wealthy neighborhood.
“Puppies. Come quickly.”
The old lady who went in first came out again. The old woman came out the front door and motioned for me to come in quickly and said something creepy.
“Are you hungry? “Grandma prepared a lot of delicious food to feed our dogs.”
“Eck.”
“Ugh.”
“Ohh.”
Unlike the grandchildren who frowned, the Demon King opened his mouth round and liked it. It seemed like he didn’t know the real meaning of saying that his grandmother prepared a lot of food.
