[Episode 137]
“Leave your hands.”
I violently pushed my mother away. I wanted to go out quietly, but there would be a gap of several years, so it was unreasonable to just go.
“Is my room still available? Or did you take it off?”
“I’m paying the rent for that, so my sister said she wanted to go back there.”
Chaido said lightly. The voice that added as if it was not a big deal could not make my stomach ache like this.
“Oh yeah. If you send me the account, I will refund the rent you paid.”
“What the hell is paying for family members…”
“Be honest, when did I become a family? I was an uninvited guest.”
When I answered with a snort, the faces of Chai Do and Chai Hyun contorted.
“I know you’ve had a lot of complaints. You’d better have a conversation without being so blunt.”
A sneer burst out at his father’s words. In the past, my body shrank at every word my father said…
‘Is it because Dad dropped Grandma at once?’
Or is it because the world I lived in had too many unrealistic elements?
Maybe it’s because I grew up in a world where people were killed casually.
Right now I can’t use magic, and I don’t have my father or the Etam family, so I don’t feel discouraged at all.
“I don’t know why everyone can’t admit that the conversation stage has passed.”
My father’s face turned grim at my muttered words.
My father has always been like that. He was a patriarchal man. It didn’t change over time.
“Cha smile!”
“Even if I raise my voice like that, I’m not afraid anymore. He came back to life, so what am I afraid of?”
“No matter how hard it is, it’s not like nailing it to the heart of a parent! Your grandmother accidentally fell and was seriously injured…!”
My body stopped for a moment at my father’s words.
‘mistake?’
That was something my dad intervened and forced me to do. Why did that become your grandmother’s mistake?
“…a mistake?”
“Yes, while you were in the hospital, he came to visit you and accidentally fell off.”
This is a lie.
No, even if my father wasn’t lying, someone planted a false perception.
‘Well, who would believe that a being from another world tried to kill Grandma?’
I thought for a moment and nodded.
Whether the world changed their perception or the star keeper changed their perception, it was nothing to know, but it was fortunate that it wasn’t Dad’s fault.
“Where is Grandma?”
“He is in the hospital.”
“Oh yeah?”
“If you want to visit the hospital, let me know where it is.”
I smiled.
I wanted to meet you once. Because I wanted to know how and in what way that vicious person was lying.
‘Like my dad said, he really didn’t die.’
Did Manara come around too?
“Please tell us.”
My father took out a pen and wrote something in a notebook and handed it to me.
[Room 2608, Sorok Hospital]
I quietly looked down at the memo and put it in my pocket.
“Did you turn off your cell phone?”
“I’ll make that tomorrow…”
“No, that’s fine. I don’t think I’ll see you after today.”
If I had my wallet, ID card, and still had my own room, I was able to solve everything.
‘It’s a card, it’s all expired because time has passed.’
Tomorrow I should start the morning by going straight to the bank.
“It’s a smile…!”
my mother clung to me
“It’s a bit annoying over there, so please leave.”
My mother’s eyes widened at my words. A trembling pupil came into my field of vision.
The mother’s arms stretched out weakly.
I know this expression. I know that it is boring, frightening, and boring.
“Why, mother. That’s what my mother always said to me. Are you hurt by hearing this?”
Because that’s what I’ve heard every time.
These were the words I heard painfully every time I held on to my mother and called for her.
“I was in more pain than that.”
If this was the gift the Star Keeper gave me, I wanted to hurt them endlessly.
Collapsing, collapsing, collapsing again and again until, in the end, he even gave up his own life.
“I hope my mother is hurt very much.”
“…you.”
“So if you die in front of me, then maybe I can forgive my mother.”
I know it’s cruel, but I didn’t want to put up with it.
The mind that had been suppressed for a long time no longer needed to be suppressed. I grew up and my mother got older.
One day, the day will come when my father, who was like such a huge mountain range, will become nothing and a powerless old man.
Just as Grandma fell so helplessly at Dad’s touch and became an existence that could neither die nor live.
“I just…”
It is possible not to love the child born.
Yes, not everyone can love a child for no reason just because he is my child.
If you are discriminated against because you gave birth to a daughter, and your husband’s eyes are cold, it could be that way.
But if I had chosen profit instead of abandoning one child, it should have ended there.
Even if this was a star keeper’s prank, there was no reason for me not to be angry.
If you had a conscience, you shouldn’t have apologized to me now. I didn’t even want to be forgiven. You should have allowed me to resent and hate you endlessly.
Apologizing that you were sorry now that you have now gained everything did not make an already broken relationship normal.
“Cha Mi-so said too much to your mother…”
“I’m talking to your father as well. Because Cha Mi-so, who clung to her father and longed for affection, is already behind…” ”
What?”
“If you stand in my way one more time, I don’t know how else I will go after you.”
If my death is your trauma, I will gladly be that trauma.
Even if the body is crushed and broken.
“I earnestly hope that there will be no one by my father’s side on the day I die. May it be full of hyenas targeting your property.”
I finished speaking and turned around. I wondered what if I caught it again, but luckily no one caught it.
“Hey no… Cha Miso noona.”
“Go away because it gives me goosebumps.”
“I’ll give you a ride in my car…”
I reached out and grabbed Chaido by the collar and threw him against the wall.
thud-!
It wouldn’t hurt that much, but Chaido’s forehead hit the corner of the wall. Chaido opened her eyes wide, grabbed my forehead and glared at me.
“Sir, what is this…!”
“Hey, that handsome face next.”
Chaido took a deep breath as I pretended to scratch his cheek with my fingernails.
“Don’t appear in front of me again.”
I turned and left the house straight away. Fortunately, there were several ten thousand won bills in the wallet.
When I went out to the main road, there were still taxis. He reached out and caught a taxi, spitting out an unfamiliar yet familiar address.
The news was streaming from the taxi.
‘April 17, 2026.’
So am I now 27 or late 26?
When the standard of turning 30 is considered to be past one’s birthday, the remaining time was only about 3 years and 6 months.
‘Arma said it was 7 years…’
Is there a time difference of about twice as much between Cha Miso’s world and Eirin’s world?
It was very inconvenient not having a cell phone.
‘Tomorrow is the bank and cell phone…’
There were quite a lot of things to do.
‘…Come to think of it, I’ll have to look for a novel.’
I wanted to make sure that the novel [I thought I was adopted, but I was mistaken!] was really a novel that I remembered.
When I get my phone, I’ll check that too.
There are so many things to do to live again.
‘Let’s live like garbage.’
Anyway, the day I will die is set, and if I subtract all the money, it might be enough to play and eat for about 3 years.
‘If that doesn’t work, let’s go to the factory for a while.’
I sighed and went back to the officetel.
I entered the password from vague memories, entered the officetel, and took off my jacket.
‘long time no see.’
As I was about to take a look around the narrow officetel, soaked in emotion, I heard a bell ringing outside.
Ding-dong-!
It’s such an odd timing.
‘what?’
I looked at the intercom screen for a moment before opening my mouth cautiously with a shy expression.
“who are you?”
“Oh hello! This is the person who moved in next door today.”
move?
On the interphone screen, a brightly dressed man was waving something like a supermarket bag and smiling broadly.
‘what?’
I put on the lock while making an absurd face and gently opened the door.
