Chapter 1199 – Life Is No Fun if You Just Follow the Natural Path
The reason the three of us were taken was this. Mawang, a pregnant woman, was giving birth while away, Sehee was because of the increase in illegal stay of Korean female college students, and I was because a former soldier was visiting a military company.
“No, if you come to another country, do you have to get into an accident to lose your temper? Uh? Or is that an aptitude?”
Fortunately, Minah, Taeyeon, and Yena, who were left behind, were not dragged away. Minah and Taeyeon had obvious jobs as small business owners or police officers in Korea, and Yena was just Taeyeon, her mother, and Deok, her companion.
Haha, Taeyeon. “Don’t be so angry.”
We left the airport three hours after the plane landed. The devil smiled at Taeyeon, who was angry the entire time she was riding in the rental car she had booked in Korea.
“In essence, life is not fun if you just follow the natural path. Rather, it’s nice to make memories through things like this, right?”
“It’s good, definitely! Really. Do you know how worried I was? “Us?”
“Oh my, aunt. Were you worried about us?”
“Who cares about whom? He’s carrying all the cash. “How can I get around without it?”
“You have a card, Taeyeon.”
Thanks to renting a van that celebrities would drive, 6 people traveled in the same car. We and Taeyeon sat in the back seat, and in the front were Mina and Yena. The person driving was of course Minah.
“Wow, wow… !”
Yena, sitting in her passenger seat, looked at the foreign country through the open windows in front of her and to her right. For Yena, who had never been outside of Korea before, coming to the United States was a new experience.
“Mom. Mom. There’s a foreign car over there. Foreign cars.”
“Yes. “Santa P is a domestic car.”
“Mom. Look at that person. That person’s head sings.”
“Hmm? The luggage is silver. “Isn’t it amazing?”
“Uh? Is that here too?”
“It’s Yena. “McDonald’s is originally an American brand.”
Although she had glimpses of elements that were also seen in Korea, she also had a vibe that was unique to the United States. Her heart fluttered when she saw the scenery in person that she had only seen in movies or dramas.
“But, hey.”
Taeyeon, who was sitting with her back to the passenger seat where her daughter Yena was riding, caught a secretly sparkling gaze. She asked, looking around at Mawang and Sehee who were sitting across from her.
“What do we do now? Where are you going to look?”
“Hmm? “No.”
“First, you have to adapt to the time difference. “Aren’t you all sleepy?”
Sehee was right. Compared to the daylight outside, my body felt like it was the middle of the night. Since Atlanta, where we came from, is 13 hours apart from Korea, it was no exaggeration to say that day and night had changed.
“For now.”
I was sitting with my back facing Mina, who was driving, or sitting next to Taeyeon, and I looked up from my phone. Then he briefly told me what to do today.
“First, I’ll go to the dorm and say hello to the boss, then go to the supermarket or something to buy something to eat.”
“Hmm! Of course, I should buy it!”
The Demon King nodded excitedly when he heard that he was buying food. Her blue eyes sparkled with appetite, as if the baby wasn’t the only reason her stomach was full.
“You guys, you can look forward to it. “It’s not for nothing that Americans’ obesity index is so serious.”
“Isn’t that a bad thing?”
Haha, Taeyeon. Don’t you know this? Calories are the battle power of taste? Umm, I guess I want to go to the grocery store first.”
“No. “I should say hello.”
“That’s what it says. “I mean.”
Although she was the devil who was the embodiment of shamelessness, she knew how to be polite. She waved her hand and asked as if it suddenly occurred to her that she was just saying it.
“Oh, well. You. Have you talked to the boss?”
“Uh? I tried it when the secondary room came out, but they didn’t accept it. Should we try one more time now?”
“I think that would be good. Give it a try.”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
I took out my phone and made one more call. As before, the beeping sound continued, and then a man I had heard of somewhere answered the phone.
-Hello?
“Huh?”
-Hello? Who is this?
The moment I heard a man’s voice in English, someone’s face came to mind. I thought about the countless people I had met in Korea, and quickly told them who I was.
“I’m, I’m Jiheon River. “Is that Mr. Park?” (My name is Kang Ji-heon. Are you Mr. Park?)
-Uh! Okay! Mr. Jiheon!
First, it looks like I didn’t make the wrong call. As soon as I told them who I was, they switched to Korean and greeted me warmly.
-Mr. Jiheon! Did you arrive safely in America? I couldn’t answer the phone earlier because I had something to do.
“No, boss.”
-Uh, okay. But what happened? Why did you call so late? Where have you been?
“No. “I got caught at immigration.”
Haha, uh. It’s worth it. I got it sometimes too. Until I immigrated.
No matter how much I said, it was the tone of a familiar person. But I continued the call, thinking it would be okay.
“President. We have arrived and are on our way now.”
-Okay? How much is left?
“Wait a minute. It’s Min. “How long does it take?”
I put the phone away from my ear, looked back at Minah behind me, and asked. Minah, who was driving, glanced at her navigation and answered.
“There are about 7 minutes left until arrival.”
“Oh, yes. Thank you. “They say it will arrive in 10 minutes.”
I received a call back, thanking me in English as if I had come to the United States. Seeing a day like this, Taeyeon whispered to Sehee who was sitting across from her.
“Hey. Hey. Did you see it? Does he speak English? “The pronunciation is so fucking bad.”
“Oppa, you’re saying it’s too Korean? But the scale is also American scale. Isn’t it? Is it African scale?”
“What are you talking about? Suddenly?”
“No, brother…”
Sehee, who was suddenly whispering, stuck her head out to Taeyeon. He put his face out as if he was going to kiss me and winked at my crotch.
“Hey. Completely black scale.”
“Oh, kinda!”
“Oh my, you crazy bastard…” … !”
I was disgusted during the phone call after being clearly sexually harassed, and Taeyeon couldn’t help but shake her shoulders.
“Hmm. “Of course.”
“Get your hands off me! “A little!”
The Demon King nodded and raised his thumb as if he understood.
“Jiheon. We have arrived.”
Anyway, Mina drove in silence even while having a brief conversation with the boss. When she slowed down and arrived there, there was a house like something you’d see in an American drama.
“Wow, it really feels like America.”
“Fuha?!”
I mumbled without realizing it because the scenery looked so American. When the Demon King heard this, he burst out laughing and tapped Sehee’s knee, who was sitting next to him.
Haha! You! You! Did you just hear that? Jiheon, it really feels like America here. I said it! Ahahaha!”
“Brother. Then where did you know where this was?”
“Ha, I really am. “I thought the girl I was going to marry was less of an asshole than she was?”
“Oh, kinda. “I’m on the phone.”
Following Sehee, even Taeyeon looked at him in bewilderment. I scowled at her face, which was getting hotter, and continued my conversation with the boss.
“Yes, boss. It has arrived now. Can I get off now?”
-Oh, we can see it too.
“Oh, yes. Well then, I’ll see you right away.”
-Uh, okay. Let’s see right away. Gangseobang.
“Yes?”
When I heard the familiar name, my face frowned differently than before. But before I could ask this, the phone was hung up.
“Haha! “How can it be so foolish and lovely?”
“Wow, hey. They’re starting again. Hey. Get down quickly. Quickly.”
“Your aunt should open it. Open it quickly, aunt.”
The Demon King laughed loudly and looked at me with a gentle gaze. Seeing the devil like that, Sehee and Taeyeon were scared and opened the car door.
Grumbling
“Uh, yes… !”
Yena moaned softly as she heard the sound of the sliding door opening. I thought she was just watching, but it seemed like she was just sleeping.
“Daughter? Daughter? Let’s stop and wake up. And you can’t sleep, daughter.”
Rattly
Taeyeon, who escaped from her van first, opened the passenger door and woke Yena up. Sehee followed along and stretched out in the bright sunlight to relax her stiff body.
“Ugh, uhhh… ! Haaa… ! “I can live now.”
“Get down slowly. Slowly.”
“Ugh, car! Haha, that’s right. “I’m going to get some rest now.”
Mawang got off with her pregnant body on my side and agreed with Sehee, who stretched out refreshingly. Of course, so did I. From the time I left home to the time I arrived at the accommodation, it took about 20 hours.
“Minya. “You worked hard too.”
“No.”
“No, it doesn’t matter. “You must have been tired too.”
“No.”
Minah turned off the engine and said no again, shaking her head and getting out of her car. When Yena, who was dozing off, got off with Taeyeon in her arms, someone walked out of the American-style house we had arrived at.
“Hey! It was very difficult to come, right? Everyone worked hard!”
“Huh?”
“Hmm?”
“Oh my.”
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw the man opening the front door and coming out. Mawang and Sehee’s father, who had a simple face compared to his bear-like size, approached with a wide smile.
“Hello, father.”
“Uh, brother-in-law?”
“Hello!”
“Uh! Hello everyone! Haha! “Are you very surprised?”
For some reason, the voice seemed very familiar.
Realizing the true nature of the déjà vu, I immediately ran to my father-in-law and said hello.
“Hello! Father!”
“No, Gangseobang. Didn’t you know you were calling me? “I feel sad?”
“I almost noticed it.”
“The number of lies has increased in Gangseo-bang too! Haha!”
Chin!
Uh oh
My father laughed heartily and tapped my shoulder. Every time, it felt as if his shoulder had been hit with a stone.
“Dad? What’s going on here? “Dad, are you really struggling?”
“Or did you quit the company?”
Mawang and Sehee, who were probably the most surprised among us, approached. The father explained the situation to his two daughters, who were surprised but smiled with joy.
“I stopped by because I had some errands nearby, and it felt like seeing my children for the first time in a while.”
Even though Mawang and Sehee had a lot of overseas experience, they were not as experienced as their father, who was active around the world. I heard that you went to Korea again recently, so I didn’t expect to see you here.
“Oh, indeed. “Gangseobang.”
My father, who was taking turns looking at his pregnant eldest daughter and his cute second daughter, called me.
“Gangseobang. President Park is over there, so go say hello. I also heard how to use the accommodation.”
“Yes, father.”
“And because he is a Korean, he can only speak English. Since I’m your fan, treat me well. Okay?”
“Yes.”
I entered the American-style house through the front door where my father came out.
“Jihon, Mr. Hello.”
“Yes. Hello. Nice to meet you.”
“You speak English as I heard?” (You speak English better than I heard?)
Haha, thanks.”
“Oh, um. It’s so good to see you. It’s a great honor to meet Jiheon.” (Ah, um. Nice to meet you. It’s a great honor to meet Jiheon.)
“That’s too much. “I’m not that kind of person.” (That’s too much of an exaggeration. I’m not that kind of person.)
“No, it’s not. That’s who you are. A war hero. It’s really, really nice to meet you.” (No, no, you are that kind of person. A war hero. It’s really, really nice to meet you.)
Haha. Oh, thanks for the house.” Haha. Oh, thank you so much for lending me your house.)
“This is really nothing. Sometimes bears come out.” (It’s really nothing. It’s old enough that bears come out sometimes.)
“Yes?”
“I got you. Of course, it’s a joke!” (You were fooled, right? Of course, it’s a joke!)
“Ah, ahahaha! “You got me!” (Ah, ahahaha! I was fooled!)
“It’s winter now, so bears don’t come out.” (Bears don’t come out now. Because it’s winter.)
“…”
