[Episode 5]
I widened my eyes at the unexpected proposal.
Even in the past, even now, I hardly remember playing with friends of my age.
Just because I entered a young body doesn’t mean that my mind has become a child, but my heart was pounding with joy.
“So what?”
“Of course…”
The face of a boy of his age, who smiled whitely with an innocent face, turned into a yaksha in an instant.
“No!”
He gave me a slight push on the shoulder.
Since I was sitting in a chair, my body staggered slightly, but it didn’t hurt too much, but I felt bad.
“Hey, my mom always says something to me, do you know what it is? Don’t play with a child without parents. But don’t you have parents?”
“….”
“Hey Karen. What are you doing?”
“He said he wanted to play with us and asked for it.”
when did i say that
When he said he would put it in. I felt sad and sad.
“What is he?”
“He was the one who cried during this meeting.”
“Oh he.”
The approaching children surrounded me and made me unable to move.
“Hey quit. Doesn’t he rent a house and live here? How do you play with a kid who has no home? Mom and Dad tell me not to play with homeless children because they’re on a lower level.”
“…”
Then the boy who pushed me looked at me with a grin.
“You have no parents, no home, no castle, and even no friends? What is there?”
It was precisely the words that poked at my trauma. My fists trembled at the openly sarcastic remarks.
‘I have to be patient.’
I clenched my fists and held on, but someone tapped my head.
‘But what am I going to do with patience?’
With a sudden thought, I moved my body.
I was about to hit that nasty face and pull my hair, but the young man flinched back and laughed meanly.
“If you hit me, you know I have to give you money, right? Is it a reward compared to when my mother hits me? I said do it.”
In response to those words, the hand stopped. Every single word this little thing uttered annoyed me.
this is evil
I heard the sound of a snap breaking.
For reference, I wasn’t the type to grit my teeth and put up with malice.
I don’t like to look weak. That’s why I always laughed…
or rather bitten like a dog.
“Even though I don’t have any money.”
“…Called.”
“what?”
I sprinted to a nearby rock the size of my face and grabbed it with gritted teeth.
“What’s up!!!”
Then he stumbled and ran and threw it at them.
thud-!
There was a heavy sound.
Of course, the small rock the size of my face couldn’t fly far and landed right in front of my nose.
Even when a five-year-old lifted a rock and threw it, it didn’t fly close to them.
Still, the kids must have gotten tired of that look! He made a strange noise and stepped back.
“Even if you have parents, if you have the same personality, it’s so much better to have parents, you stupid idiots!!”
“hey! I will tell you all about your mother!”
“Me too…!”
“Hey, let’s just go. You are pitiful.”
It was a bit of a cry.
“My older brother says that the kids who live without him don’t know what to do because all they have is their own lives.”
At those words, the children who had flocked to me and surrounded me ran away as if avoiding germs.
I clenched my fists in a huff as I watched the children walk away.
“And that’s Boshan, you motherfuckers!”
His hands were stained red, probably from holding the rock forcibly. It looks like I’ll get blisters soon.
“Am I sweet for a day or two?”
Whew.
I rubbed my hot eyes with the back of my hand as if I had a fever, then sat back down on the chair and pursed my lips in a feeling of unfairness.
“Fine.”
I tapped my thighs gently.
“It’s cool, but it’s okay.”
I muttered to myself trying to soothe the bitter feeling.
‘Even in my previous life, how much I endured as evil and evil.’
It wasn’t just once or twice that this happened.
In my previous life, I was born as the eldest daughter in a family with precious hands, and because of that, I was stuck with hateful hair.
Worse still, my mother gave birth to two younger brothers behind me.
After giving birth to me first, my mother, who received cold stares from my grandmother and grandfather, was recognized as a proper daughter-in-law after giving birth to two younger brothers and received an apartment in Gangnam.
[Hey, aren’t you embarrassed? Wearing clothes like this at a school like this?
] It’s really embarrassing to be a sister like this. XX.]
[XX sister, you bastard. I told you to stay out of my sight!]
It wasn’t for nothing that an ugly duckling appeared in the house.
It just happens when someone with power ignores and despises someone without power.
Baggy clothes for men, school uniforms that were about to explode, plus, unlike his younger brothers, he had a small amount of pocket money.
Of course, my home was Gangnam, so I went to a good school in a good school district and became a one-eyed person between two eyes.
At first, there were only minor differences.
All the parts that were good to eat were theirs, and the parts that were relatively less tasty were mine.
When I bought new clothes, I didn’t have mine. All expensive and good things went to my brothers, and I used to get them clothes that they were tired of.
With my father ignoring me and my mother ignoring me, my younger brother realized that I was ‘something I could ignore’.
The children who learned about the hierarchical relationship were terrifying.
There was a time when I took my coat and put me outside in the middle of winter, and there was a time when I drowned my school bag in the mud and filmed my suffering and spread it to the school group chat.
I also rebelled against it.
[You you… Did you hit me just now? mom!! Mom and sister hit me!]
[What? Let’s see. Oh my goodness… I’m going to my grandma’s next week, what should I do? Let’s go to the hospital right away. Tea smile! Go into your room right now, get down on your knees and raise your hand! I’ll see you later.]
But each time, how much do you use your family as a shield…
‘Let’s not think.’
I shook my head as I felt more and more sinking.
“That’s right, candy!”
I took out the candy that Myla had secretly given me to eat later as a snack and put it in my mouth.
I felt better when something sweet filled my mouth.
While I was sitting still, a white cat jumped up from somewhere and sat down on the bench.
I couldn’t hold back the laughter that leaked out and laughed.
“Hello Gonyang.”
Myaang-
As if answering my call, the white cat meowed for a long time, took up a baking posture and closed its eyes.
I sneaked a little closer to the cat’s side. I could feel the warmth of the soft fur and skin.
“Gonyang, would you like to chat with me…?”
I have loved animals since a long time ago.
Animals always treat me the same whether I have more or less. The animals gave back to me as much as I did.
“It’s not that I’m particularly keen on having a friend… I’ll just sit like this from time to time and talk. Does Yogi come often?”
Myaaaang-
the cat meowed again.
It seemed like I was stroking it and it felt really good.
“What if the dogs get to the mother?”
If he really did ask for compensation for the damage, he might get into the ears of Duke Miriel.
‘If you ask me to pay all the money and go…’
I pretended to be strong, but when I thought about the real problem, a sigh leaked out.
I felt pitiful for myself lamenting my life to the cat.
The cat growled whenever I pet it. It seemed like it felt good to shed golgolsong.
‘I want to raise a cat.’
They say it’s nice to have an animal by your side when you’re lonely.
Since the annex is very large, wouldn’t it be okay to raise at least one cat?
“Is it worth buying with me?”
I jumped off the bench and tried to take the cat in my arms.
Miyaaaang-
But the cat seemed to be bothered by me and jumped down to the bush.
Myaaang-
Myaang!
Miwoong!
Then, from the bushes, kittens pounced their faces.
The white cat stood and looked up at me blankly.
‘I don’t think they really understand.’
It was as if he was really listening. Maybe I’m mistaken for coincidence.
“Ah, is your family taking care of it?”
Then you can’t.
I sat down on the bench again, smiled brightly and waved my hand.
The white cat groomed the kittens several times before disappearing back into the bush with her kittens.
“I am not a child.”
I shook my head. It seems that he became very depressed after thinking about the old days.
“I have to go to Myra.”
I thought that if I acted cute and got a pudding, this feeling would go away quickly.
I jumped off the bench and returned to the Tabaktabak Annex.
I didn’t even expect that there would be someone watching all the scenes.
