Chapter 72 – Episode 72
“I’m 21 years old… “
The reason I paused for a moment was no other reason.
And Nayu seemed to have stopped talking for the same reason as me.
We both said the same thing at the same time.
“Uncle, you have good skills.”
“Your skills are good.”
“I.C.”
My uncle frowned at our admiration.
“This guy and that guy, they can only think like that!”
Uncle, it looks like a lot of colleagues around you were making fun of you when they saw this.
“No, then what are you thinking?”
“Think about it carefully.”
After saying that, my uncle started talking about the long spear.
“I’m 21 years old. Do you know how old you are with me?”
“One… “Are they 20 years older than me?”
“Okay! “I am a child of the same zodiac sign, and I am a child of the same zodiac sign.”
“You’re younger than I thought?”
“My grandmother gave birth late, so she is young.”
“Ai, what’s so young about being young!”
The word IC appears second.
“Compared to his wife and children, he’s like a grandpa’s kid, grandpa!”
“If you’re a grandfather, shouldn’t you have 4 zodiac signs?”
“Uncle, uncle, you’re not that old yet.”
“Hey, that’s what you’re saying. A metaphor A child is a metaphor!”
Samjin IC.
“Think about it carefully! When I was in college, my wife and child weren’t even born yet! “When I went to the police and started running around for a while, I was like a mite!”
“To think that way… “Mister, were you a lolicon?”
“This gas is real!”
The uncle lost his temper, but Nayu just laughed as if it was funny.
“Junseok, please speak up!”
“Uh… Nayuya, your uncle is not a lolicon. “I’m a police officer. How could I possibly do that?”
“These bastards are real!”
I’m sorry, uncle.
For some reason, it’s fun to make fun of my uncle when I’m with Nayu, so I’ll stop.
“Uncle, if you look at it that way, an older and younger couple can’t do it. I have to see if I can date at my current age. Isn’t that right?”
“But the age difference is too big.”
“If the other person is an adult and the uncle is also an adult, it should be equal. Isn’t it? Your uncle wouldn’t know any better. “He’s not better because he’s older.”
My uncle groans at those words.
This is my uncle who lived as a police officer and saw a lot of old trash.
With these words, you can realize that there is nothing special about being old.
“Man, anyway, I have a question… “
“What?”
“Why do you think there shouldn’t be a large age difference?”
“That’s obvious, isn’t it?”
“So what is natural?”
“That… “
Nayu’s question left the uncle speechless again.
I crossed my arms and thought for a while, then finally got the words out.
“First of all, the gaze of those around you is the problem.”
The first reason my uncle brought up was the gaze of others.
“I like it when people make fun of me and call me a thief. But what a nuisance to women.”
“What kind of nuisance is this?”
“People say that I don’t have the right perspective for marrying an older man, or that I got married for some kind of asset.”
“You don’t have much wealth to hear people say things like that.”
“It’s one of the examples, one of the examples!”
My uncle’s barking became a little quieter, probably because he was tired from yelling so much.
“If I hang out with my friends, they might make fun of me or look down on me… “
“Hmm… I don’t know much about that mentality… “
This time Nayu crosses her arms.
“Mister, what would you do if you found out that someone was making fun of you?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You’re gossiping behind my uncle’s back and making strange rumors… Let’s say there is a guy like that. What are you going to do then?”
“I have to hit it.”
“What if we kill that bastard and there are still rumors left? So what if some people believe that rumor?”
“You should ignore that.”
“Why?”
“Why, why, the child just has to chew through bullshit.”
“Then why can’t I do this?”
Nayu’s words left her uncle speechless again.
“No matter what others say, isn’t it okay if you and that girl like each other? If someone says something bad, you can just slap them or ignore them.”
“That… “
“She can do her job that way, but she can’t do that? So does that mean she is that much more important to her?”
“Well, I’m fine! Even if something like that happens, it doesn’t really matter… “
“She might be okay with that too. She may have already made up her mind before appealing to him.”
“Still… “
“Mister, are the views of people who criticize you more important than the woman’s feelings?”
The uncle looks at Nayu with an expression as if asking what she’s talking about.
“She says she likes you, but you’re trying to throw away her love because of what other people think of her.”
“Hey, I know that’s not what you meant… “
My uncle’s words gradually lose their strength.
I realized on my own that the first reason had been refuted.
“Well, well, it was probably just a brief breeze.”
So my uncle gave another reason.
“Wind?”
“Okay. For a moment, my head froze, and I thought, no, that’s not it… Yeah, it’s just because they put a bean shell on it for a while. Then you might regret it later.”
“Hmm… “
At those words, Nayu folds her arms again.
Her attitude is that she doesn’t know what to say.
It’s not that she couldn’t think of an answer, but it seemed like she was contemplating what to say.
So this time I intervened.
“Uncle, are you saying she was having strange thoughts for a moment? So you’re saying it’s better for her not to do something she’ll regret later?”
“Okay! Let’s say I date her. And what if the bean peel comes off? How big of a stain will that leave on her? Don’t you think it would be nice to date an older man?”
What kind of 80s way of thinking is this?
That thought passed through my head, but I pointed out something more essential than that.
“Do you want to run away?”
“What?”
“She was in a relationship, and then she started not liking her uncle. It could be so. She said the woman might regret it. Then all she has to do is break up then. What happens after that, well, I don’t think it will go as her uncle said… “
“Hey, don’t underestimate people’s rumors. If you does it wrong… “
“No, that sounds like an excuse.”
I interrupted my uncle.
“It seems to me like my uncle is afraid that they will separate in the future, or that he will be betrayed if he opens his heart.”
“What do you mean… “
“If she later says she doesn’t like her uncle, then go ahead and accept it.”
Me shrugging my shoulders.
“But not being able to even start because you’re afraid of something like that happening just means you’re scared.”
“W-what… “
“I also agree with what Junseok said.”
Nayu joins in from the side.
“Don’t run away from love!”
“Hey… “
The fourth Aissi, unlike the previous Aissi, had no strength at all.
“Still, if you’re an old man, you have reason to be afraid.”
“Huh? “What happened?”
“No, you’re old, right? They say that the older you get, the more afraid you are of taking on new challenges.”
Did you mean that?
“Mister, if you’re that scared, can I help you?”
“You’re helping me, what are you saying about helping me…” “
“Introduce that girl.”
Nayu leans towards the man.
“I’ll find out what kind of heart she has.”
***
After that, things progressed quickly.
Nayu, who received the number from her uncle, sent a text message and immediately received a call. After receiving the call, Nayu left her café with only me.
“Let’s meet now.”
While saying that one word.
“No, what did you say that you wanted to meet right away?”
“Nothing much. When I told him I had something to talk about with him, he immediately called me.”
“Hey, are you making some kind of threat? “
“I resolved that misunderstanding over the phone. “Don’t worry.”
While saying that, Nayu catches a taxi.
“I have to go quickly, so I’ll take a taxi. Are you okay?”
“Oh, it doesn’t matter.”
We got into the taxi right away.
“Gwanghwamun Station.”
With those words, Nayu leans back on the chair.
I asked Nayu a question.
“Nayu, but it’s so… Active.”
“What?”
“I didn’t think you would be the type to be very interested in other people’s romantic lives. It’s very unexpected.”
“Uh, I’m not really interested in romantic history. “What do you need to know about other people’s love lives?”
“But today was very… “
“It’s not a man’s love story. “Mister, it’s a love story.”
Nayu smiles while saying that.
“Then it’s not normal.”
I knew that Nayu and her uncle did not have a normal relationship.
After hearing what kind of relationship the two had, I thought they would be like father and daughter.
Hmm, no, I guess we should consider them brother and sister.
Anyway, I thought it was a relationship similar to family.
“And I wonder what kind of woman she is. Approaching her uncle like that at a young age… “You might be harboring some bad thoughts, right?”
“Oh, that’s what I thought too.”
I didn’t say it in front of my uncle, but there is a possibility that the other person has bad intentions.
Especially if it’s a police officer like your uncle, wouldn’t there be a lot of places for bad guys to use it?
“Okay, so Junseok. “Go and talk to me.”
And Nayu begins to explain her own plan.
We spoke in unison and headed to Gwanghwamun Station.
***
After arriving at Gwanghwamun Station, we headed to a café in the corner.
Perhaps because it was located in a corner, there were quite a few people compared to Gwanghwamun, so I liked the quiet atmosphere.
After entering the place and looking around her, Nayu immediately walked to a table.
A woman was sitting alone at the table, wearing a gray dress.
“Excuse me. “Are you Hong Eun-ji?”
“Yes, then you…” “
“Yes, I’m Nayu Kang. Oh, and this is my boyfriend, Lee Jun-seok.”
“Hello.”
“Wasn’t Kang Na-yu the only one coming?”
“Yeah, I forgot to tell you.”
“I don’t want to talk to people I’m not related to… “
A woman who speaks quite coldly.
“Are you okay. This guy too… “I have a lot to do with Seok-ho Lee.”
“Lee Seok-ho is my uncle.”
“Ah.”
Hong Eun-ji nodded her head at Nayu, and I’s words.
With that as permission, Nayu and I sat across from Eunji Hong.
“So, what do you have to say about Seok-ho Lee?”
Hong Eun-ji gets straight to the point.
What can I say, her expression looked like she was looking at an enemy.
As expected, Nayu’s message seemed to be unpleasant to her.
“It’s nothing special… “I heard that Hong Eun-ji is passionately courting you.”
As she said that, Nayu took a gritty stance.
“I was wondering what kind of person he was doing and why he was approaching my uncle.”
Normally, I would have stepped in and stopped him.
But since we had guessed what to say, I just sat next to him in silence.
‘Let’s scare them first. When I heard the voice on the phone, I heard it was quite strong, but I need to break the momentum first to find out the truth.’
This is what Nayu said in the taxi.
“… Hehe.”
However, upon seeing Nayu’s attitude, Hong Eunji started laughing.
The wary attitude towards us just moments ago disappears in an instant, and he looks as if he is having fun.
What is this woman… ?
