Chapter 915 – 915. Homecoming (5)
Erin couldn’t help but frown.
“… “What are these?”
The thought that I had tried to keep in my mind came out of my mouth without me realizing it.
The only politeness to that extent was such senseless words and actions as if they had been eaten with rice.
“Huh?”
“Uh?”
Erin’s muttering was short and concise, but she was effective in getting the attention of the group of men.
Still, her beautiful appearance was very stimulating to men who had just become adults, so it was natural for them to become interested in Erin.
“Oh…”
“Wow.”
The group consists of a total of five people.
Among them, there was not a single one who was not completely entranced by Erin’s appearance.
Of course.
A person of the opposite sex who is similar in age to them.
At the same time, she has a very mature appearance and a voluptuous body that leaves you spellbound.
A captivating scent that makes your mind wander.
She is a charming woman who seems to exude pheromones that naturally stimulate a sense of conquest just by being near her.
Among the men who were already in sight, she was captivated by Erin’s looks.
“… Tsk.”
Eunhyeon frowned and clicked her tongue in a small sound that no one could hear.
Because she also felt that the gaze of a group of men looking at her Erin was unusual.
For some reason, she felt very sad and irritated.
Is it jealousy or impatience?
Maybe it’s a feeling that combines all the words that come to mind.
Although he could not define this feeling that was stirring in his heart, Eunhyeon moved his body wherever his mind went.
He guided Erin’s hand, which he was holding.
“Oh.”
At that moment, Erin opened her eyes wide and looked at Eunhyun, and tried to follow him as he led her, but it was not easy for her to get out of that place.
“For a moment. Wait for a sec.”
The man standing at the front of the group laughed and blocked Eunhyun and Erin’s path.
Eunhyeon looked at the man who blocked her path and her frown hardened.
“… What?”
“Haha, it’s been a while since we met and you’re just leaving like this? I feel very sorry. Friend.”
“Friend? Under.”
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
The man in front of me was definitely my classmate from elementary, middle, and high school, having graduated from the same school.
Due to the nature of the city with a small population, the number of students and schools was also small, so it was a natural trend.
And the man in front of him and the group of people following him were not only classmates who had spent their elementary, middle and high school days with Eun-hyeon, but they were also the ones who led the bullying by emphasizing the fact that Eun-hyeon did not have a father.
Without thinking too deeply, I could understand why they, who had casually ignored and despised me and enjoyed putting me down, suddenly approached me with an unusual level of friendliness.
Because what they were aiming for was Erin, who was clinging to her side.
“I have nothing more to say to you.”
Eunhyeon became even more irritated for no reason.
Now he didn’t want to have anything to do with them anymore.
There were times when I faced the main reasons that gave me bad memories as a high school student and wanted revenge on them, but I realized early on that my reality was too powerless to make those futile actions come true.
He felt like staying here would only make him feel worse, so he wanted to take Erin with him and leave.
When Eunhyun tried to leave the place, the man and the group switched their target from Eunhyeon to Erin.
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
Erin looked at the man’s call.
“Would you like to play with us?”
“Nope?”
Of course, Erin’s answer had already been decided.
There was no way she hadn’t noticed Erin’s lewd, lustful eyes looking at her.
“… Uh?”
The man immediately asked a question in response to the sudden answer.
It wasn’t the answer he expected.
Erin asked, tilting her head.
“When are you pretending to be friends just because you saw each other? You know me?”
“That’s not it…”
“And why are you ignoring my husband?”
“… Husband?”
“This is my husband.”
As if showing off to the men and the crowd, Erin openly hugged Eunhyeon’s arm tightly and crossed her arms in front of them.
“…”
“… Under.”
Some people were at a loss for words when they saw Erin’s behavior, while others were staring at her in disbelief.
“This worthless child without a father is your husband?”
“…”
Eunhyeon couldn’t bear it anymore.
Although she could bear to find fault with her for her nonsense, she simply could not bear to offend her own family.
Especially when it came to mentioning her own mother or her father, whose face she couldn’t even remember.
In the end, Eun-hyeon could not stand it anymore and tried to throw her fist at the man.
Pow!
Someone struck the man in the face faster than Eunhyun.
The head of the man who had been hit by the surprise attack turned to the side and was pushed back.
“Say it again.”
It was Erin who threw her punch.
He tried to straighten his stumbling posture, but for some reason the man was unable to maintain his balance.
“Uh, uh… ?”
The man’s legs lost their strength and he sat down on the floor, looking up at Erin and Eunhyeon.
It was only when he realized that something warm was flowing from his nose and reaching the corner of his mouth that the man realized belatedly that he had been hit.
“Is this crazy…?” !”
“You are the one who is crazy.”
Suddenly, I frowned at the rude words and actions of my parents cursing me.
Erin had no good feelings about her own father.
Erin’s father had been looking at his daughter Erin with lustful eyes since she was just starting to come of age, and he abused and tormented her whenever he got the chance.
She couldn’t have any good feelings towards her father, and since she was Erin, she couldn’t sympathize with the fact that she got so angry at him for swearing at her father.
But touching her family within her own enclosure was a completely different story.
If someone touches not you, but your precious family members, Eunhyun, Illyana, Eleanor, and Lily.
Erin is also unbearable.
They insulted Eunhyeon.
That alone was reason enough for Erin to step forward.
“You guys need to get scolded.”
Another man in the group realized the situation and glared at Eunhyun and Erin, his face turning red.
He swung his hand towards Erin, who threw a decisive punch.
She swung her palm with the intention of slapping Erin’s cheek with all her might, but there was no way Erin would accept her monotonous attack, swayed by her emotions.
Wow!
“Oops!”
Rather, it was the man in the group who got slapped and whose head turned.
For a moment, he didn’t even realize that he had been hit, and it was only when he turned his head and felt a tingling pain in his cheek that he realized that another man in the group had distorted his face.
“This… !”
Wow!
“This fucking bitch… !”
In the end, the men couldn’t stand it anymore and started swearing harshly.
He attempted to attack Erin once again, but Erin would not allow it.
Before his palm could touch Erin’s cheek, Erin’s hand struck his cheek first.
Wow!
“Ugh… !”
“One more hit.”
As soon as his head turned to one side, he was immediately slapped on the other cheek.
Wow!
“This… !”
But even so, instead of improving Erin’s mood, her annoyance rose even more.
I was so offended by the people who insulted Eun-hyeon that I couldn’t feel better.
“I can’t do it. “Two more!”
Match! Wow!
“S-stop… !”
Wow! Wow!
The man, who was completely dazed by the onslaught of slaps from both sides without stopping, gave in first.
He had been beaten so badly that both his cheeks were red and swollen like balloons.
Erin left him alone after repeatedly slapping him for a long time and turned to look at the man who had collapsed on the floor after Erin’s punch.
“… !”
The man who met Erin’s gaze trembled.
“Say it again. “What did you just say?”
“…”
“You spoke well before, so why can’t you speak up?”
Despite Erin’s urging, the man was unable to speak.
I had a feeling that if I said those words one more time, this time it wouldn’t just end in a nosebleed.
“Why don’t you say it again?”
“That that…”
As she hesitated and trembled, another man in the group tried to attack Erin.
“Stop!”
When Eunhyeon quickly stepped in between the two and blocked the man’s attack, Erin praised him with an impressed expression.
“Awesome! Hyuna!”
It wasn’t that big of a deal, but it felt strange to be praised and praised as if I was a hero who saved the world.
“Fuck… ! Hey! Let’s go!”
The man ultimately chose to run away.
Five men couldn’t do anything about one woman, so they had to run away, and their pride was scratched mercilessly, but it didn’t seem like the situation would go in their favor if they continued to argue with Eunhyeon and Erin.
As they quickly ran away without even looking back, Eunhyeon and Erin sighed softly as they were left alone again.
Erin immediately checked on Eunhyeon’s condition.
“Hyuna! Are you hurt anywhere!? “They didn’t do anything strange!?”
“… “Isn’t that something you should ask me?”
In fact, it was Erin, who hit first, rather than Eunhyeon, who got into a heated argument with the group of men.
And usually, lines like this mean that he, as a man, should be worried about Erin, a woman.
“Does that matter now!?”
Erin raised her voice and glared at Eunhyeon.
He felt around Eunhyeon’s body to check her condition, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that there was nothing wrong.
“Phew… Thank god…”
“… “Is Erin really okay?”
“Yes? I’m fine. Hi-Hi.”
Suddenly, Erin was held in Eunhyeon’s arms.
“Thank you. “You were worried about me?”
“… Of course.”
In fact, Eunhyun was quite surprised by Erin’s sudden behavior.
And he couldn’t blame her for her gratitude towards Erin for going ahead of him and taking care of her anger.
But it is also true that she was worried.
“But don’t do that next time.”
“Hehe, don’t worry. I’m so strong! “I will protect Hyeon-i!”
The cruel atmosphere that had dominated her surroundings until just now disappeared as if her eyes were melting, and seeing her smiling brightly, her surprised heart also disappeared and she smiled bitterly.
Eunhyeon stroked Erin’s head without realizing it.
I don’t know why, but I felt like I had to do this.
His hands moved without realizing it, as if it was a long-standing habit that had naturally become ingrained in his body.
“Hi-Hi.”
Erin enjoyed Eunhyun’s touch as she nuzzled her face into his chest.
“Erin.”
“Huh?”
“What happened today. Can you keep it a secret at home? Especially to my mom.”
“Why?”
Erin tilted her head and asked why, but Eunhyun smiled bitterly and did not answer.
If her mother heard of this happening, Eun Yeon-hwa would definitely be sad again.
“Uhm, yes. Okay. “If Hyun-yi wants to do that, she will do it.”
Erin had no intention of asking her for the details.
She immediately nodded and accepted her request.
“Come on, let’s go home! “Everyone will be waiting!”
“Yes.”
Eunhyun and Erin returned home, carrying a bag full of food and drinks purchased from the convenience store.
◆ ◆ ◆
During the winter following the second semester, Eunhyeon spent time in his hometown with his future wives.
Because it was too cramped to live with Eun-hyeon or Eun Yeon-hwa for a long time in a small villa, her wives spent a considerable amount of time with Eun-hyeon or Eun Yeon-hwa while staying long-term at a nearby motel.
Ironically, what Eunhyeon had to spend the most time on was living with them and preparing for marriage.
Eun-hyeon, who never thought she would get married at the age of 21, was distraught due to the sudden turning point in her life.
Since returning to her hometown, she has been having a hectic day.
“Hello?”
Eunhyeon received a call from an unknown number, and she felt like she had been stabbed in the back by what she received on the phone.
The call was from the local police station.
“Sue… ? Me? Violence… Event?”
Since she had been accused of violence, she was notified to appear at the police station for investigation.
