Chapter 256 – The Family
Jung Sung-ah was worried.
It’s because her dad hasn’t been eating properly for days.
Of course, it was difficult for her as well.
Her beloved mother died, and she couldn’t help but struggle.
But what was more difficult than that was that the rest of the family was destroyed like this.
Dad… And brother… I couldn’t wait to see him crumble like this.
That’s why I held back the desire to go back and stayed here.
If I leave it like this, it’s obvious that Dad will be exhausted by himself again…
Since the only person who can take care of her dad is himself, Jeong Seong-ah decided to take care of her dad here.
‘My brother… Has sisters.’
She loves her brother
As a family and as a woman.
Her brother accepted it too.
But the most important thing to him was to keep this family alive.
Like this, she didn’t want to be scattered forever.
“Dad… Let’s eat.”
“…”
But even this was tiring.
There was no way that he, who had a big hole in his heart, could properly comfort others.
It was then that the doorbell rang out of nowhere.
-Ding-Dong
…It must be a postman.
Jung Sung-ah trudged and opened the door.
“…”
But the person standing in front of the door is my brother.
She was an older brother who brought tears to my eyes just by looking at her for a moment.
“Sorry. Did you wait a long time?”
His appearance has changed a lot somewhere.
He said with a bitter smile.
“What about Dad?”
There were many things she wanted to ask, but she pointed her finger at her bedroom with sincerity.
Then, after Jeong Seong-min hugged Jeong Seong-ah, she patted her on the back and said,
“Thank you. For taking care of my father.”
“…Huh.”
He let go of her heart and walked her into her bedroom.
When I opened the door, I saw my father, idly by, hugging my mother’s picture frame.
“Dad.”
A name I’ve been calling for a long time.
When Jung Sung-min called Jung Hyun-jae, he turned to Jung Sung-min.
Then he looked surprised, but then he said with a wrinkled expression.
“I will never come here again-“
“Let’s go see Mom.”
“…”
“Alive.”
Jung Hyun-jae wakes up.
He said.
“Sa, alive… Alive…?”
“Huh. I’ll explain everything. Let’s go. Get in the car.”
***
Lee Shin-ah looked out of her window with her blank face.
It is because she has no hope of living any longer, and even if her life is extended, it will not mean much.
‘I’ve tried everything I can.’
I tried to be positive.
Greet everyone you meet, do them a favor, laugh out loud, and crack jokes.
I put on countless expressions to breathe something into this desolate heart.
But in the end it is like this.
Blankly. No expression.
Completely unmotivated.
A continuation of pointless time.
– Knock. Knock.
It was then that someone knocked.
Did the nurse come?
He answered, roughly, yes.
The door is open.
“Ah ah ah ah ah…”
The sound of someone choking.
Lee Shin-ah, who was still looking out of her window, turned her head.
“…”
Time seems to have stopped.
Those faces that I missed dearly.
I thought I would never see them again, so I earnestly prayed for them to appear in my dreams.
“…”
However, she herself is a sinner.
You cannot and should not be forgiven by them.
You have to pay for your sins in the end
“Hey, honey… Honey…”
However, her husband approached crying.
A daughter approaching, whimpering.
They approached the sinner himself and grabbed his hand.
And-
“…”
The son who came with them, but stood silently.
However, the son looked at himself with tears flowing down his cheeks.
He said.
“Mom. Let’s go back now. To home.”
***
Three hours later, Lee Ha-young’s office is covered with subtle darkness.
She held her smartphone up to her ear with a stiff expression on her face.
It was to be debriefed to her own men.
“Okay. Did it happen in the end okay. Good job then.”
-It’s sweet.
Eventually, Lee Ha-young finished her call and put her phone on her desk.
She recalled reports her men had made to her.
In the end, Jung Sung-min’s family reunited.
She seems to have worked out according to her own intentions.
“Hmm.”
Hayoung Lee supported her own chin with her right hand.
Then she raised the corners of her mouth at an angle and muttered to herself.
“I’m tired.”
I’m tired.
Of course, I was talking about her own performance.
“It’s gone.”
It’s gone.
Of course, it was to speak of her own exploits.
“Is this… Right?”
Rhubarb Hayoung.
He is the one who grabbed the master’s family by the collar and pulled them up when they almost fell into the pit of tragedy.
This is it…
“The dignity of courtesy.”
Finished.
That’s enough for her to have calmed down.
Seongmin cried in his arms, he comforted him, hugged him and cried together.
The worthless Lee Hee-yeon, the busty jumma Baek Ha-yoon, the monster muscle girl Ahn Ji-yeon, and the nose girl Elena have reached a level they can’t reach.
“I am the original restaurant.”
Originally, the pussy that the owner, that is, Seong-min, often sought was her own.
All famous swords require a suitable scabbard, but Hee-yeon’s was too narrow, Ha-yun’s was too loose, and Ji-yeon’s was too hard. Elena’s was foreign-made and the year was too new, so it didn’t taste good.
Therefore, his own scabbard, which had a chewy, winding taste, was a scabbard suitable for the holy sword.
It is a traditional cutlery of the original restaurant that no one can overlook.
Haha!”
Lee Ha-young’s laughter rang out.
***
Your family drove up and didn’t say a word.
Jung Hyeon-jae drove the car in silence, and Jung Seong-min, sitting in the passenger seat, looked out the window.
Jung Sung-ah and Lee Shin-ah also just watched the car damage from their respective seats.
However, their hearts were already connected.
The moment they met each other, they finally realized that each other was an indispensable being to each other.
Therefore, what they needed was contemplation.
It was a time for self-reflection to look back on each person’s sins and move forward.
However, they did not weigh the weight of each other’s sins.
They didn’t try to judge each other.
Is your sin greater or mine lesser? These conversations were meaningless.
They just felt the weight of their sins and thought of what they could do.
Even Jung Hyun-jae, the biggest victim of this family.
He was blaming himself for being incompetent and weak as a head of household.
He, who should have been the guardian of the family, was blaming himself for passing all the responsibility on to his son and easily breaking down.
There is a burden on everyone’s mind.
-Bowaaaaa…
Because of this, the car carrying your family moved forward.
Home for them to be together.
***
The site where Jeong Seong-min’s mansion is located.
Jung Hyeon-jae’s car slid into the front door.
Cars entering this place were always expensive cars, so the security guards approached to check their identity with a condescending look.
-Geeing…
However, the window down from the left rear seat.
Jung Sung-min sticks his head out with an expressionless face.
“Omg! Lord, Master!”
“Open it.”
It’s identity verification, and there’s nothing to do while sleeping.
The guards hurriedly opened the front door.
Jung Hyeon-jae’s car entered the mansion.
“…”
And there were people watching this scene from afar.
Lee Hee-yeon, Baek Ha-yoon, Ahn Ji-yeon, and Elena.
They wait until their throats drop for their master to come.
Then, calming his anxious heart, he clenched his fist tightly.
It’s because the master has changed.
Because it makes me feel like a different person.
– Jerk… Jerk… Jerk…
Soon after, Jeong Seong-min got out of the car and walked over.
He walks side by side with his family.
However, Jung Sung-min is Lee Hee-yeon and Baek Ha-yoon. And he recognized Ahn Ji-yeon and Elena’s uneasy eyes.
He was well aware that they were anxious because of his change.
So he was still the ruler.
Just a ruler who needs a family to rely on.
So they will still be under your control.
But they will also embrace and love you as a family.
Someday, the relationship between master and slave will move to a relationship of equal family.
It was his responsibility to take them as spoils.
“You go in first.”
So Jung Sung-min sent his family inside first.
Then he saw Lee Hee-yeon, Baek Ha-yoon, Ahn Ji-yeon, and Elena bowing to him.
He said.
“It’s been too long since I’ve had a job.”
“…?”
Four women who only glance up and look at themselves.
Sungmin Jung said.
“Lee Hee-yeon. How is the streaming business doing while I’m away? I hope sales didn’t drop.”
Lee Hee-yeon, who was shocked, but couldn’t hide her joy.
The master is back
It hasn’t changed.
“Sin, sorry! Lord, while the owner was gone, 25% plummeted due to negligence in management.”
“… You’ve fallen a lot. Solve it right away by recovering sales. Let the punishment come later.”
“Yes!”
“And Baek Ha-yoon.”
“Yes?”
“How long are you going to play Tangja Tangja?”
“Uh, uh…?”
“Your greatest strength is that you are an icon in the Korean entertainment industry. I have to get hold of the broadcaster again.”
Jung Sung-min walked towards Baek Ha-yoon.
And she whispered in her ear.
“Receive the broadcaster. Seeing the results, I will recognize you as my woman.”
“…!!!”
A chance to rise from slave to woman.
Baek Ha-yoon raised the corner of her mouth and nodded his head.
I’m going to beat the young bitches and take this man!
“Ahn Ji-yeon”
And Jeong Seong-min saw Ahn Ji-yeon, whose muscles were almost all gone.
She now had the appearance of a beautiful woman.
Jeong Seong-min smiled at her lightly as she returned.
And she came close to her, and she whispered in her ear.
“Let’s meet up later.”
“…!!”
Face to face
A chance to spar with the owner!
The rule is that the losing side gets raped unilaterally.
Ahn Ji-yeon’s speculation flared up.
She raised the corners of her mouth and nodded her head.
“And Elena.”
Jung Sung-min called Elena for the last time.
Elena opened her eyes round, she said.
“Ooh, huh?”
“What is my name?”
“…Hey Shem-min.”
“…Ha.”
Jeong Seong-min let out a long sigh.
He approached Elena.
Whispered into her ear.
“Learn Korean properly. Then, I will think about accepting her as my woman.”
“…!!”
In fact, he was the last to be incorporated into Jung Sung-min’s harem corps.
Compared to his older sisters, he seemed too lacking.
So I was always anxious.
In the end, will Jung Sung-min abandon him?
“Ugh…Yolshimhui halgwe…”
“…”
Jeong Seong-min closed his eyes once and opened them again.
He said as he entered his mansion.
“Then let’s each do their job.”
Jeong Seong-min goes inside, saying it as if it was not a big deal.
In the end, the four women, who confirmed that the master was the master, grinned and went to do their own things.
For the sake of the master, who is his everything.
***
Lee Shin-ah entered Jung Sung-min’s mansion.
She headed down the long hallway to the open living room.
But she felt her heart throb with every step she took toward it.
Because of the past wounds received here.
But she chose to focus on the present rather than the past.
The hands of the clock point to 7 o’clock in the evening.
Knowing this, she disguised herself as a housekeeper and washed her dishes and she went into the kitchen, and she opened the refrigerator.
She took out soybean paste, gochujang, onion, green onion, zucchini, tofu, and mushrooms.
She chopped onions and green onions and cut zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
The tofu was also cut moderately.
– Shaaaaa…
I got the right amount of water in the pot.
After using anchovies and kelp to make water again, soybean paste and red pepper paste were dropped in an appropriate ratio.
Stir well until boiling.
– Patter…
I dropped all the ingredients on the cutting board.
Oil was applied to a frying pan and the marbled brisket was precooked.
And he put it on top of soybean paste stew.
-Sue.
I put on kitchen gloves.
He picked up a pot of soybean paste stew and placed it right in the center of the table.
After serving the white gobong rice, it was placed in a round shape.
I put cutlery and side dishes.
“…”
Jung Hyun-jae and Jung Sung-ah silently watched Lee Shin-ah cook.
I choked up at the sight I longed for.
Soon after, the dishes were set, and they sat down in their respective seats, smelling the scent of the home.
-Jerbuck. That buck that buck
Just in time, Jung Sung-min came in after work.
He also went to the kitchen, guided by the scent of longing.
His family was waiting for him.
“…”
Seongmin Jung sat down.
All four families gathered and sat around the table.
Eventually, Jung Hyun-jae took up the spoon, and everyone took up the spoon.
Each of them took a spoonful of soybean paste stew and brought it to their mouths.
Jung Hyun-jae and Jeong Seong-ah tasted the food first.
“Hururup.”
As soon as they tasted it, they stopped.
Jeong Hyeon-jae and Jung Sung-ah, who have hardened as they are.
Their eyes turned red.
At this time, Jung Sung-min also took a drink and tasted it.
Lee Shin-ah looked at him with anxious eyes.
“…”
About two years ago, she threw out all her soybean paste stew.
But when she finally tasted it, her unknown emotions surged up.
He came to know how much meaning this longed-for taste could contain.
He looked at Lee Shin-ah and said.
“It’s really delicious.”
After saying that, Jeong Seong-min opens the soybean paste again.
Families continue to eat without saying anything, sobbing.
Lee Shin-ah shed tears.
It wasn’t tears of sadness, but tears of emotion.
She was tears of emotion, finally returning to where she should be.
“Hururup…”
It was the same with the rest of the family.
They wept, but continued to eat.
It was only when I ate this meal with sincerity that I realized it.
That her wife is back.
That her mother is back.
“Sigh… Whoop… Whoop…”
Jung Sung-min also gave up everything.
Now he ate as a member of the family, not as a ruler.
He finally realized that he had achieved everything he wanted to achieve here.
‘It’s finally over.’
It was a long nightmare.
Starting with Ha-young, he lost a lot.
To get it back, I endured countless days of pain.
It wasn’t easy.
I was hurt so much in those hellish days.
At the betrayal of his girlfriend, at his own weakness, at the harshness of the underworld, at the betrayal of her family, he had to kill his heart again and again.
He had to go forward, covered in blood.
But now, Jung Sung-min’s anger has finally subsided.
All the anger and resentment melted away in every single tear shed now.
Now is the time to be happy.
Finally, the four families came together in one place.
He was happy
