Episode 625
– If that were the case…
Park Min-jun’s voice came from the cell phone.
-It might be a bit difficult for me to visit you.
“It should have been difficult in the first place.”
―You are buried.
“What was so heartbreaking was that you visited a house with a child without notice.”
―Isn’t that a simple nuisance rather than a cold-blooded nuisance?
“Are you admitting your own guilt?”
―I meant to look at it as a cute gesture.
“Say something that makes sense, Minjun.”
Lee Jae-heon, with a frivolous laugh, continued speaking naturally.
“So I guess we’ll have to end it on the phone for the time being, do you understand?”
-of course.
“Don’t even think about leaving a trace by sending a text message, just in case.”
-I’m not that stupid.
“Yes, I learned it from someone.” is not it?”
-That’s right.
“That’s nice.”
Lee Jae-heon stroked his chin and blinked.
“Don’t come into the house and startle the chicks just because you want to pick them.”
―Is there really nothing I can do like that?
“If people are bored, they can’t do anything. “It would be even better if the planting was twisted.”
-I will correct it.
“They are all young chicks, so be careful.”
-yes.
“Then…”
Jaeheon Lee said, tilting his head.
“I’ll call you next time.”
-I will wait.
“good.”
Pop.
The call has ended.
“….”
“….”
Jaeheon Lee reached out his hand without even looking and stroked the head of Dayoung Park, who was squatting at his feet.
“good job.”
“…yes.”
Time for the day to begin.
The two had a calm, expressionless expression that made it difficult to understand their intentions.
* * *
This time, the Park siblings skipped the palm tree and invaded the house.
“-mister!!!”
“Hey, I’m surprised.”
“Are you ready?!!”
“Are you sure?”
Lee Jae-heon, who had just gotten off work and was changing clothes, frowned as he unbuttoned his shirt.
“Why don’t you get out quickly? “Can’t you see me changing my clothes?”
“I’m sorry about my sister.”
In the end, the commotion ended with Park Da-hoon dragging his older sister away.
Lee Jae-heon, who came out of the dressing room, was wearing casual clothes, unlike his usual neat suit. Park Da-young was impressed when she saw that her hair, which was always up, was now drooping down.
“You look 10 years younger, man.”
“The manager looks younger here, so what should I do?”
“Uncle, then I can’t get married.”
“I’m already done.”
Park Da-hoon, who was massaging Seo-ah’s cheek, asked.
“But isn’t the cardigan a bit hot in this weather these days?”
“okay? “I’m still chilly?”
“Do you tend to get cold a lot?…”
“I’m just tolerant of temperature in many ways.”
Jaeheon Lee accepted the stimulation as it was, without even thinking about it, whether it was cold or hot. In the first place, it would have been even more strange if Lee Jae-heon, who could easily overcome the pain of having his fingernails pulled out or internal organs spilling out, suffered from cold or heat in the first place.
Park Da-hoon nodded at Lee Jae-heon’s words.
“Oh, then it was because of fashion.”
“It’s a bit awkward to go out wearing only short sleeves…”
“Do you hate short sleeves? “It’s comfortable and nice.”
“It’s a bit awkward to show bare skin.”
“You sound very young.”
“He is an old master.”
A gray cardigan, a white loose T-shirt, and loose black pants. Hair that is neither neat nor messy, like someone who just woke up and brushed their hair. It wasn’t a bad outfit for shopping at a nearby supermarket.
And Lee Jae-heon even wore a black hat on top of it.
“uh? “Why the hat?”
“I wonder if anyone recognizes me.”
“I’m not some kind of celebrity….”
“It’s not like that. People who know me know, so I’m just being careful. “It wouldn’t be good for the rumor to spread that this party’s third child was taking two high school students with him somewhere.”
“That’s true.”
“The industry probably knows my face well.”
Lee Jae-heon, who covered half of his face with a hat, spoke to Lee Yun-byeol, who was watching them.
“Then Seo, please take care of me.”
“Yes, please be careful. “If you’re late, I’ll just leave Seo-ah to sleep.”
“If you say you don’t want to sleep, just leave it alone. Still, you can’t have a late-night snack, so if you say you’re bored…”
“I’ll just give you some milk.” “With honey.”
“If you’re stubborn, even fruit is okay.”
“Do not worry.”
“Yeah, whatever.”
Lee Jae-heon was never anxious as he entrusted Seo-ah to Lee Yun-byeol.
‘He is a teacher who cares for his students by sacrificing his life as if they were his own children. He will do a good job.’
In the original work, Lee Yun-byeol was a person who risked his own life and threatened others in order to protect Seo-ah, who was not his daughter. It seemed unlikely that Lee Yun-byeol, who was so devoted to children, would not be able to take care of even a kindergarten student whom she had seen for a long time.
So, these were just stories.
“I have to come back.”
“Come back.”
“You don’t even watch this on TV.”
“Ugh….”
“It’s the size of your palm.”
Lee Jae-heon headed to the parking lot with the Park siblings, leaving behind Jang Seo-ah, who was obsessed with animation. Naturally, the two people in Lee Jae-heon’s car took out an even more detailed performance evaluation sheet and said,
“The other kids decided to bring the bread and cooking utensils, and we just need to bring the cheese and tomato sauce.”
“How much money does that school spend for students to bring cooking utensils? “Aren’t you at school?”
“I have all the basics, but this time I decided to expand the bread variety. “I didn’t think a regular pan would work, so I decided to bring a fan with holes at home.”
“Wow, you can’t be this passionate.”
Jaeheon Lee asked Dahun Park as he gently pulled the car.
“Do you need anything Dahun?”
“We also have home training, but it’s not about cooking, so it’s okay.”
“Then what do you do?”
“I’m making bags by sewing.”
“Students these days are making bags too…”
“It’s not that big of a deal, I just have the original kit.”
Park Da-hoon scratched his neck and said.
“I thought all I had to do was be good at sewing.”
“If I learn something like that, it will be useful later in the underworld.”
“Oh, I see…?”
“If your clothes are torn or your skin is torn…”
“Isn’t it a bit much to tear your skin?”
“Sometimes it can be solved with a stapler, but sewing is just fine.”
“…You’re kidding, right?”
“Oh, just kidding.”
Lee Jae-heon, who laughed frivolously, continued.
“Actually, it’s not a joke.”
“…Are you talking about a medical stapler?”
“I guess I’ve been restraining myself a lot lately.”
“What did you refrain from?”
“I guess I lived like a pretty normal person.”
“Not at all…? “Why are you so proud…?”
Lee Jae-heon, ignoring the embarrassed Park Da-hoon, looked in Park Da-young’s direction.
“Then, did Dayoung also practice like that when she was in second grade? Or is the curriculum a little different since I transferred to another school?”
“Uh… I already did it at my previous school. “But I didn’t sew up human flesh, but…”
Park Da-young looked with a straight face.
“Don’t tell me to suture your uncle.”
“I thought it was a joke.”
“You said it wasn’t a joke.”
“That’s it.”
“Why do you do such a thing when the doctor is such an honorable person?”
Jaeheon Lee answered calmly.
“Is it a secret world?”
“…But still…”
“There’s nothing we can do when it’s really dangerous. There comes a time when you have to put cotton or cloth inside and suture the flesh on top to move and run away. There will come a time when it would be nice to have a stapler or thread.”
“Oh, that’s so cruel.”
“Even if we say we can go back… that’s not everything.”
“….”
“You need to know how to endure.”
Park Da-young once again looked with a straight face.
“Why do you keep trying to make us independent?”
“You guys are already independent, why are you like this?”
“I became independent with my uncle’s money.”
“Even if you throw them on a deserted island with their bare bodies, the people who will make airplanes and come back will be severely punished.”
Dayoung Park said with her arms crossed.
“We’re not that great.”
“Why not?”
“You’re so young and weak. “I was just born yesterday.”
“Deputy Jeong, who was passing by, would laugh.”
“Can’t you understand the mood right now, mister??”
“Maybe I’m just saying this because I understood it well, right?”
“Oh man…!”
“Oh my ears.”
Not long after, Jaeheon Lee parked his car in the parking lot of a large supermarket.
Jaeheon Lee muttered as he got out of the car.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a supermarket like this.”
“Then how about the food… ah.”
“Yes, this man has a lot of money, so he orders it.”
“I’m going to give Seo-ah some food too.”
“I’ve already been nagging Yeonseok a lot about that.”
Jaeheon Lee said, adjusting his hat.
“I’m already doing a lot of different things these days.”
“Wow, that’s awesome. “Are you uncle?”
“It’s not really my taste, but Seo-ah seems to like Western food, so I’m trying to focus on that. “Surprisingly, I like meat, so lately I’ve been eating only grilled steaks.”
“Finally, a menu that fits the image of the man was selected.”
“What is my image?”
“….”
Her younger brother, Park Da-hoon, answered behind Park Da-young, who had an expression that said, ‘I have a lot to say, but I will keep my mouth shut.’
“Mafia boss.”
“what?”
“Italian mafia boss….”
“Do you have nationality?”
Lee Jae-heon was taken aback.
“My family is so traditional, but I hear all these things. “My mother cries when she hears it.”
“Then, if you wear hanbok every day, you won’t be misunderstood.”
“No matter how much I am treated as a useless child, I have no desire to reveal my presence that much. “I will give my parents the attention and worry they never had.”
Lee Jae-heon, who entered the mart, paused for a moment.
“….”
“mister?”
“…cart….”
“…?”
“How much did I have to put in?”
Dayoung Park tilted her head and answered.
“100 won?”
“Oh, I guess so.”
“What on earth are you confused about?”
“I wonder if it was 500 won or 1,000 won….”
“You can’t believe you’re a chaebol like this.”
“Listen to me.”
Jaeheon Lee began his defense.
“The reason you put money in the cart is because it has to return to its original place, so you can only take the money back when it returns to its original location… Honestly, losing 100 won isn’t a big deal. I thought it was 100 won based on common sense. “Shouldn’t it be around 1,000 won?”
“This guy doesn’t know the value of 100 won.”
“You must have learned the value of money.”
“It’s a really funny family.”
Da-Hoon Park intervened in the conversation between the two.
“But these days, I don’t put coins in the cart.”
“uh? why?”
“I don’t know, were there a lot of protests? I think it’s been almost 10 years since I stopped putting coins in… “I saw it briefly at a supermarket I visited when I was young.”
“…10 years….”
“I guess I haven’t been to the supermarket in 10 years.”
“What do I have to come here for?”
They entered the food section while chatting about various things.
“What did you say you had to buy? Cheese and tomato sauce?”
“Yes yes yes.”
“I don’t know about cheese, but if you ask Yeonseok for tomato sauce, he will make it really tasty.”
“I didn’t risk my life on performance evaluation to the extent of doing that. It’s annoying. And if it’s our test and we get help from outsiders, isn’t that cheating? “I get scolded by kids.”
“It’s really strange and awkward to watch a pure competition between students without corruption.”
“How can there be any reason for corruption to occur in high schools?…”
“That sounds naive. “How does the world work?”
Jaeheon Lee approached the refrigerated food corner and pointed to one side.
“Aren’t you talking about cheese?”
“….”
Park Da-hoon shook his head.
“That’s cheese for snacks.”
“What’s wrong with that? Anyway, it’s cheese. “When it touches heat, it melts and becomes sticky.”
“No… not that classy cheese. “It’s cheap and efficient.”
“You talk about quality for cheese that costs less than 100,000 won. No, you consider efficiency in what you eat.”
“Then what are you risking your life for when it comes to efficiency?”
“You’re taking it pretty well?”
“They say if you carry something like that, you’ll become popular.”
“It would be nice, right?”
“It’s good for you?”
Meanwhile, Park Da-young came carrying a thick bag. It was a 15,000 won pizza cheese containing a lot of small portions of mozzarella cheese.
“I brought it.”
“…Do I really have to buy cheese like this?”
“Most people in the world live on cheese like this. “I think the cheese on the pizza we ate last time was all this cheese.”
“It’s not like that… You guys make it… It’s a performance evaluation…” “
…Oh.”
terup.
Dayoung Park exaggeratedly covered her mouth.
“Is this a parent’s desire to buy only good things for their children…?”
“You really make it impossible for me to say anything.”
“Does this mean that he loves us like his children?”
“driving me crazy.”
It was then.
“Dayoung…?”
From behind the refrigerated warehouse, two students were calling out to Dayoung Park with their faces sticking out.
“Dayoung.”
“Hey, are you here too?”
“But…”
the two female students asked, looking at Jaeheon Lee.
“Who is he…?”
“….”
“…I don’t think your dad is…uh…”
At that moment, the Park siblings and Lee Jae-heon finished assessing the situation.
Dayoung Park shook her head.
“He’s a good person.”
Not even a seed was eaten.
