Chapter 75 – Episode 75
When my uncle noticed me, his expression changed in an instant.
It was a fleeting moment, but my uncle’s expression was very good when he came out.
Perhaps the conversation with Hong Eun-ji went well.
I guess I decided not to tolerate what I had endured for a long time any longer.
The cool expression of someone who has solved a big problem, and the happy expression of someone they love next to them…
All those expressions were mixed.
“Uh…”
But that expression changed in an instant.
His eyes widen, and his mouth opens, as if he cannot understand the scene before his eyes.
I swear, I’ve never seen my uncle’s eyes get so big in my life.
Even when I had my first accident, my eyes didn’t get that big.
It means that what you see now is more shocking than anything else.
“Junseok, you… Uh… Umm… ?”
An uncle who is at a loss for words.
When I saw myself caught between Ga-hye and Na-yu, I immediately sensed our relationship, but my mind was rejecting that interpretation.
“Uh… Did you have a good talk, uncle?”
So, I decided to turn my attention to another topic.
“Uh? That’s, uh… “
“It seems like things have worked out well with Hong Eun-ji.”
“Well, okay. But things worked out well for her.”
After saying that, the uncle’s expression changed again.
Just a moment ago, he had a dumbfounded expression, but this time, a little bit of anger was mixed into that dumbfounded expression.
“But hey, what the hell are you doing now…” What happened… ?”
Uncle starting to tremble.
It was that time.
“Seok-ho, let’s go.”
“Uh, yes?”
“Let’s go. “They said they would buy me food.”
“Uh, uh… “
“Then we’ll go first. Come on, come on.”
“Uh, ok, so don’t pull it… !”
The uncle whose every word starts with ‘uh’.
After becoming an idiot itself, he was dragged by Hong Eun-ji and disappeared.
‘Thank you, Eunji Hong.’
For now, the danger(?) In front of us has been overcome.
Ugh, what should I do with this?
“Is that Jun-seok’s uncle?”
“Uh.”
“Hmm, they don’t look alike.”
“Yes.”
Nayu and I were in a daze because we didn’t know if it would be a good idea, and only Gahye was talking between us.
***
It is highly likely that the uncle considers Nayu like his daughter.
No, we are already doing that.
It wasn’t often that I saw Nayu and her uncle, but I could tell by the way they showed when they met.
Moreover, looking at what Nayu said and the thoughts she had toward her uncle, it was even more clear.
‘So I tried to take some time… ‘
It’s difficult to reveal to an uncle like that Nayu, Gahye, and I are dating.
A child who is as good as a daughter has become a victim of a leg of lamb!
It was obvious that my uncle, who was tight-lipped for his age, would think that way.
‘Of course, my uncle is not a tight-lipped person… I was confident that I could persuade him if I took the time.’
No matter what happens, he is an uncle who is on my side and tries to think from our perspective.
Even though he had a strong old-fashioned temperament appropriate for his age and occupation, his old-fashioned temperament was not that bad.
And in the sense that there was always the possibility of improvement, my uncle was not an extreme old man.
“What are you thinking so much about?”
Gahye stabbed me in the cheek.
Thanks to that, I came to my senses and turned my attention to Gahye in front of me.
“Just… “
“Is it because you got caught just now?”
“Yes.”
I honestly admitted it.
“I was going to say it anyway~”
“Yes. But it wasn’t the right time yet.”
I started explaining to Gahye.
“My uncle considers Nayu like his daughter, so it took a lot of time to convince her uncle. Sprinkle some rice cake little by little so that you can prepare in advance, and first tell Nayu what you wanted for this situation, and then make you and your uncle a little closer… “
“Things in the world don’t go according to plan~”
Ga-hye speaks like an old man.
“Like an old man.”
“It’s too much!”
Gahye pokes my cheek with her finger.
“Ouch.”
“You’re so young and fresh, but you’re so old!”
“That’s what they say.”
“And you were already caught a long time ago. Now that I’ve found out about it again, what are my new plans… “
“Huh?”
You got caught?
“I do not remember? “You know, when I came to school before~ Junseok and Nayu were together.”
“Uh… “You did, right?”
I remember it was the beginning of the semester.
“Didn’t Uncle Junseok already see what was going on between Nayu and me back then?”
It was only after hearing that I remembered it.
Ga-hye, who suddenly fell into my arms, and Na-yu, who accepted me and me, who lost her focus because of that.
And the uncle who sees it.
It’s like war… No, not this.
“Yes, but the three of us weren’t dating yet at that time.”
“However? Jun-seok would have looked the same to his uncle anyway.”
“Uh… Is that so?”
After listening to Gahye’s words, I realized.
I was caught between two women.
She showed the same thing back then and this time.
And the period between the two events(?) Wasn’t that long…
I’ve been through so much that it feels like I have one more year left.
“Ah, anyway. Still, some groundwork was needed.”
“It’s already too late~ Just say it out loud and feel comfortable~”
“Ugh… “
Would it be that easy?
I wanted to argue like this, but I couldn’t say that to Gahye.
‘If you say it so easily in front of Gahye’s father and say it’s my job, then you’re a very bad person.’
Ah, my head hurts.
All the plans I made have collapsed…
Like Ga-hye said, it is difficult to speak clearly and feel comfortable.
I get both women and that is acknowledged only by the people around me.
I definitely don’t want to fail at this.
“Ah, sister~!”
It seems that Nayu, who went out just now, has returned.
Gahye welcomed Nayu with a gentle voice.
“Are you finished calling?”
“Yes.”
“Why are you talking on the phone for so long other than eating?”
“Ah… This is a bit… “Junseok, Gahye.”
“Huh?”
“Yes?”
“Let’s go eat together.”
“Where~?”
“Meet Hong Eun-ji.”
Huh?
Is it Hong Eun-ji here again?
“I just spoke to Eunji Hong on the phone… “I have something to tell you.”
“What are you talking about… ?”
“He helped me.”
Huh?
I couldn’t understand what she was saying for a moment and looked at her with her dumbfounded expression.
***
The three of us finished eating and moved to another location.
The place we headed this time was a small park with few people.
Hong Eun-ji was standing there alone.
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
It feels awkward to meet and say hello to someone you just saw a few hours ago.
“Is this person Gahye Lim?”
“Hello, Eunji Hong.”
“Hello.”
Ga-hye and Hong Eun-ji exchange polite greetings.
“How are things going with your uncle?”
To break the awkwardness inside me, I first asked how he was doing.
“Yes. Thanks to you. Thank you so much.”
Eunji Hong smiles and thanks me.
“It went well according to the plan you mentioned.”
“I told you. “Mister, I was just avoiding a direct confrontation for no reason.”
“Iknow, right. Thank you too, Nayu Kang.”
Hong Eun-ji said that and lowered her head towards us.
Looking at this polite attitude, it seems like you’re in your 40s, not your 20s.
“That… “Did your uncle say anything about us?”
“Um, no. “I didn’t say anything big.”
Thank goodness.
“I was happy that the guy I raised like a daughter and the guy I raised like a son met each other’s eyes, but I don’t know why there’s another one. That guy’s got good skills, but he’s not the best of both worlds, and he’s very loyal to his tastes… “We said the same thing.”
No, whether it’s big or small, we’ve already told you everything, right?
“You ruined a happy moment because of us.”
“No. I was happy. I can’t believe you’re saying something like this to your family… “It means you definitely accepted me, right?”
This is a girl who has already fallen in love.
It’s an interpretation that only a girl in love would make.
Of course, I don’t think that’s a wrong interpretation.
“Yes, but… What kind of relationship do you three have?”
“Ahaha, that’s… “
“Umm… “
Nayu and I were moaning, and Gahye was laughing without saying anything.
“It may be burdensome to say this, but… Please think of me as just a stranger and talk to me. Regardless of Seok-ho.”
“Hmm… But… “
“No matter what happens, I won’t tell anyone.”
After saying that, Hong Eun-ji smiled, but she firmly added another word.
“Junseok, Nayu, and Gahye. “I want to help this time.”
***
Two heads are better than one, three heads are better than two, and four heads are better than three.
I was persuaded by Hong Eun-ji’s words and briefly explained her current situation.
I’m dating Nayu and Gahye at the same time, and my uncle didn’t know that yet.
And I want my uncle to acknowledge my relationship with these two…
Even though it was explained briefly, there was a lot to talk about.
“I see.”
Hong Eun-ji calmly listened to the story.
“You are amazing.”
At those words, I couldn’t say anything and just scratched my head.
“All three of you. “You made a difficult decision.”
From the common sense of this country, it is a difficult decision.
“And it’s a very interesting decision.”
Hong Eun-ji continued her words without any reproach.
“I hope all three of you do well.”
“Don’t you think it’s strange?”
“It’s a little strange. Ah, it means it’s unique.”
Hong Eun-ji quickly answered Ga-hye’s question and hurriedly added her words.
“There are various forms of love. In the past, there were two households, and in some distant foreign country, polygamy and polyandry were officially established, right?”
A sultan’s harem, is it something like this?
“There is also a saying called polyamory.”
Polyamory.
A multi-romantic relationship refers to people who form romantic relationships with multiple people without being exclusive.
I only realized this after falling into this kind of relationship…
This person knows these words so well, what kind of person is he?
“Oh that… “I found this word while looking through books to target Seok-ho.”
Hong Eun-ji said after reading my eyes.
He’s a scary person.
He reads people’s minds right away.
“Anyway! “I support these three people.”
“You are quite an open person.”
“It’s good if you like yourself, isn’t it?”
I nodded my head at those words.
It was the thought of someone who decided to date my uncle and pushed for it.
“Then anyway… “The problem is Seok-ho.”
“Yes. My uncle must have been really shocked… “
“Well, I think no matter what I do, you will approve.”
“But, sister, will it take a long time?”
“That can’t be helped.”
“You three, I have an idea.”
Hong Eun-ji started to get to the point.
“I already told Nayu a little bit, but… “
I guess I mentioned this when I was talking to Nayu on the phone earlier.
“I will help you.”
Hong Eun-ji’s voice sounded as if she had come to save me.
