Chapter 78 – 7. New Year
Early moning.
Hudeulgeori was sitting at the head of his table and eating rice cake soup, leading his body.
All he could see was his maternal grandfather, even though it was New Year’s, and he didn’t match the way he looked from New Year’s Day.
“Eat slowly. Ji Sang-ah? Because there is a lot of rice cake soup.”
” Yes. “
His grandfather smiled and patted his head, and I smiled lightly and asked a question.
“By the way, where did everyone go?”
“Grandma went to her neighbor’s house early in the morning to fix the machine, and Aseol and your mother… Where did they go out together from the wind in the morning?”
“…From morning?”
“Yeah, but judging from the atmosphere, both of them seemed very angry… What’s going on?”
“Oh, no. Don’t mind Grandpa. He must have gone out for morning exercise. These days, both of us relieve our stress through exercise.”
” ····Okay? “
Grandpa looked suspicious, but after hearing what I was saying, he immediately started eating rice cake soup, as if he had stopped paying attention.
‘It’s a start again. ‘
Just looking at it, the estimate came out.
One of the two if you look at the shelter and when you come to the countryside.
Whether it’s a serious negotiation or a body-to-body conversation.
The latter was most likely the reason, but having already given up on drying, I decided not to bother.
At least if the two of them were able to solve the problem outside, they would fight less often in front of me.
‘Hoo- My legs are still shaking… ‘
The day after he was eaten by Aseol, his physical condition could not have been normal.
Moreover, it is absurd that the mother does not recognize criminals.
Perhaps today, Mom and Aseol will return late.
“Ground.”
” Yes. “
“Isn’t there anything difficult?”
Unlike his maternal grandmother, his maternal grandfather was a gentle person.
I couldn’t believe that a grandmother with a fiery personality and a grandfather who was clean and tidy like Jisoo Myung Kyung were married, but seeing that they’ve been doing it for 100 years so far, everything has been proven, so it’s just amazing.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“My wife… No, her grandmother said that Harin isn’t even allowed to go out?”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. If you’re a mother, that’s what I need to understand.”
“Ahhh… Who does our Sangji look like to be so kind-hearted… This year Kang Ha-rin… Hu-“
My maternal grandfather patted me on the head as if he felt sorry for me, and he let out a deep sigh, which looked like an abyss beyond measure.
“I wished for nothing more because I was healthy at best, but my daughter is always in trouble…”
” Grandfather····. “
Grandpa, who had been muttering with calm eyes, calmly resumed his conversation as if he had made up his mind before long.
“Mom’s overprotectiveness is not right for her grandfather and her grandmother. After all, the earth is the age for you to enjoy your youth. If you live a normal life while experiencing various things and meeting people, the two of us will not have any regrets even if we die.”
” . . . “
“So, I’m going to speak to your mother today.”
“Resolutely…?”
“Yes, it is impossible for her grandmother and her grandfather to stand in the way of her grandson. Besides, the reason is my daughter.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t understand her grandfather’s words.
But I wasn’t sure if that would work for her mother, and I just looked at her grandfather anxiously.
“Grandpa and Grandma are totally on our grandson’s side!”
*
“Grandpa has too much money.”
“It’s what Earth gives us, so we should use this much~ haha-“
The grandmother, who was good with her hands, went on a business trip to her neighbor’s house to fix the machines even on New Year’s Day, so she was late, but even though her mother and Aseol waited for an hour after eating the rice cake soup, she was a Hamheung maid.
In the end, her grandfather said, ‘Let’s see if he’s counting his grandson after a long time~’ and I had no choice but to do it.
In addition, he gave me 500,000 won instead of 50,000 won, but it was an acceptable amount even if it was a golden salary rather than a new year’s money.
” Still····. “
“It’s a grandfather’s heart for a grandson who hasn’t seen his face in years. If you don’t receive that… Grandpa will be sad…
It is an open fact that refusing to give something to an elder is a disrespectful act.
In addition, in a situation where I had no money, the money my maternal grandfather gave me was like my slush fund.
Inevitably, I had to quit my part-time job at the pc room so I couldn’t get the money, but fortunately, I prepared the money to spend when I was in a hurry, so I wouldn’t have to worry when I needed money urgently.
“Thank you! Grandpa Happy New Year!”
“Yes, Ji Sang-i, stay healthy and have a happy New Year.”
As I was talking warmly with my grandfather, the grandfather, who had suddenly been rummaging through his pockets, took out two 50,000 won bills, took them out, and put them back in his left pocket.
“I can’t even give it to Aseol…”
Needless to say, the value of 100,000 won to the common people, but it wouldn’t have been money to Aseol.
It sounded without conscience, but I thought that if I had that 100,000 won, I could use it much more usefully, but I had already swallowed 500,000 won and had no more opportunities.
‘ . ‘
When I wasn’t in this body, I always set a record of 500,000 won at once, unlike New Year’s Eve money, which I always received from 100,000 to 200,000 won in total in my previous life, but I was still hungry.
Perhaps because of the experiences I had when I was a freshman in society, I painfully realized that money is the best, and although money is not all of happiness in life, it made sense that there is nothing like money.
‘Is there any way to get it…? ‘
Originally, it was right to pass.
However, if that amount of 100,000 won goes to Aseol, it is only a matter of time before the amount of money is converted into scraps of paper.
There were various ways to throw money away, but that wasn’t the case.
“Here, Grandpa.”
” Huh? “
“Give me the money… I’ll give it to Aseol.”
“Hmm- Ji-sang understands your feelings, but this old man needs to be tripled by A-seol…”
“I’ll beat me twice!”
Anywhere, smirking behavior was not negative at all.
Especially to my grandparents who love me.
“Haha- Yes, Ji Sang-ah, grandfather lost. Here he is. Should Ah-seol give him the money?”
” Yes! “
Grandpa gave me money in the end, laughing at my tricks, but it seemed like he gave it out of the belief that I wouldn’t steal A-seol’s money.
‘I’m sorry, Grandpa. ‘
The old guy would have given it to me, but at least not to me.
After all, money is valuable only when you know how to spend it in a planned way and give it to a worthy person.
You can’t miss it Kang A-seol, I eat your new year’s money. ‘
I should have felt good, but somehow I felt like I was losing.
Compared to the price I ate yesterday, it must have been a very cheap money for Aseol.
Eventually, I got sick to my stomach again.
“By the way, I heard from her grandmother that Ah-jeong enlisted… Do you know when we’ll meet?”
“Ah… Maybe the graduation ceremony… Next week?
“Really? I’ll have to tell your grandmother. Then she should go and see A-jung too.”
Her grandfather let out a small sigh as if he was worried about his older sister who had enlisted.
I also sighed because I wanted to see my sister, and when I suddenly checked my phone, it was recorded that my sister called two weeks ago in the call list.
‘Come to think of it… My sister hasn’t called me lately… ‘
Contrary to my concerns, my sister seemed to be adjusting well at the training center.
You called me at least once every week, but you said that your sister was doing something that even I, who served in the military twice, couldn’t do?
After all, he was like the king of the physical end.
‘I worry the most about getting along well with people. ‘
However, physicality and sociability are not proportional.
Since I was a timid older sister, it would be difficult to get close to people, but it was natural that I was most worried about that part.
“Wait a minute, Grandpa.”
In the end, I had to find the reason why I hadn’t called for two weeks, but sure enough, the reason was easy to find.
The phone numbers that were registered on the block list when I did it.
It must have been Ah Seol or mother’s atrocities.
‘ Sister… Come back quickly… ‘
A life without an intermediary was noisy, so just as I was crying out for my sister’s discharge, a familiar voice came from the front door.
“I broke my leg club, but I drink a potion? A girl ruins even a fair match.”
“A fair match is damn good. Who’s the one who went first after arriving?”
“Really, is this still out of my mind… I won’t tell my mom straight!”
“Moms should be like mothers too, so I speak straight. Ha-“
“Kang A-seol!”
“Don’t scream. It hurts your ears. Cover that dirty areola first at that time. It’s not good for oppa’s emotions.”
“Well, Sangji likes his mother’s breasts a lot, right? At least more than your small breasts.”
“There is no difference in size. Yoo Se is.”
“Hehe- Really~? Kang A-seol, your face already looks angry, right?”
“Oh, fuck! Really… Ha- Poop- Then what are you doing? Oppa, I’ll fuck you first…”
– Boom!
‘What… What is it? ‘
I couldn’t open the door because of the sound of something exploding, and at the same time, my mother’s cold words rang out.
“If you tease me one more time, it won’t end with this.”
” Mom····? “
“Uh… Uh? Ah… Son~ Ki… Wait- wait a minute~”
When I heard my voice in front of the front door, my mom changed her voice as if she was embarrassed, and in 3 seconds she opened the door and hugged me.
He reacted again to her sweet body odor, but he took a deep breath and watched her mother, trying to keep her blood moving as far as she could.
“Our Sangji~ Why are you staring at Mom so hard?”
As Aseol said, it was not at all like the reflection of the areola.
No, rather, it was a simple sportswear outfit, as if I was out drinking, but I was embarrassed about what kind of magic it was.
” No····. “
“Haaa- my son~”
‘ Huh- ‘
The magic of breasts has always been great.
The guy started to erect without hesitation at the familiar touch.
But her mother put on a puzzled expression at the sound of her grandfather’s roar coming from behind her.
“Kang Ha-rin! What are you doing? Come now!”
“Ah… I came here after having an in-depth conversation with my youngest…”
“Hoo- Noisy and sit down.”
“Why… Again?”
“If you want to sit down, sit down. I have something to tell you.”
Grandpa looked me in the eye and then calmly continued.
“Did the ground still block going out?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Don’t stop the ground from going out!”
“····What? I don’t like it. You said something important, but ha- you’re talking nonsense.”
“If you’re going to stop Ji-sang from going out, leave Ji-sang here and go alone.”
” What····? “
“Do not go out when you are at an age where you can go out and live a social life? Does that make sense? It’s enough if you do that much. How long will Ji-sang stand in your way?”
“Did Daddy tell you? Sangji is my son. No one has the right to say anything about my son.”
“Why don’t you have the right to say something? He’s a son to you, but he’s also a precious grandson to me and my mother.”
“This is my child that I gave birth to!! There’s not enough reason for mom or dad to say anything with that alone!! And that I’m blocking their path? Don’t be ridiculous. Ji Sang-i is many. I have to protect him! Even cutting it off to feed. Social life? I don’t need anything like that. It’s safest for my son to be by my side!!”
“Kang Ha-rin!”
“Dad, whenever other bitches see Ji Sang, I can’t stand it because I’m afraid of what they will do to my son! Don’t you know Dad? Ji Sang isn’t your son!! “
Her mother’s frantic reaction left her grandfather speechless.
She stopped crying at the sight of her not knowing where she went wrong, and finally went into her room and shut the door.
“Mom! What is that to Grandpa…”
“Son…? Does your son understand your mother’s feelings? Huh?! You’ll never abandon your mother, right?”
Those eyes, empty and possessed by madness, were disfigured beyond description.
Since when did my mother have eyes like that?
Before giving birth to me? Or when I’m in my mother’s belly?
Yes, what does it matter
I am already a bird without wings trapped in a cage called mother.
The cage, where you can neither dream nor fly, made it possible for you to lead a safe and comfortable life, making it impossible for you to think about anything.
A bitter laugh came out.
Even if you struggle, you will always be in the same spot.
“Yes, Mom, I understand. There will never be such a thing as how I abandoned my mother.”
“Haaaaah…
The trap of the covenant was confirmed and the cage was firmly established.
This is an inescapable fate and destiny.
I pretended not to, but I loved that trap, which was so disgusting, and I still wanted it to be protected.
“Are you going to apologize to your grandfather later?”
“Apologetic? I don’t like it. My dad is wrong…”
It was also a very contradictory and blind trap.
It seemed solid, but before I knew it, it was shaking violently with my movements in its original form.
“Even if you think her grandfather did something wrong, I hate it. That’s why Ah Seol sees her mother and has no manners.”
” . . . “
And to use that movement appropriately.
That would have been the way I chose and the only way out.
“You’re apologizing, okay?”
” ····Okay. Because Ji-sang wants it…”
“Again! Grandpa is sad!”
” ····Grandpa···· No, because daddy is sad…”
“Yeah, good job.”
“It’s okay♡”
Her mother, who wanted a deep kiss, smiled happily and tried to approach her, but she was soon overshadowed by In-young, who was accustomed to hijacking.
Sure enough, her mother’s expression quickly turned into a rabble.
“Chuuuuu- oppa, the first day of the new year, the deep kiss tastes like dog shit. Kkeok!”
“Kang A-seol is behind this ignorant bitch.”
Seeing her mother pass out in her single room and grab her baby by the hair and drag her outside, she didn’t even have time to be surprised and quickly ran into the room where her maternal grandfather was.
Above all else, it would have been right for me, as a grandson, to comfort the hearts of parents who heard such things from their children.
