Episode 104. Reorganization time (2)
“dad! What is it? Shuk suk! Shuk suk!”
Dorim pretended to hold a sword and swung his arms around, while Pyo Yu-rim looked behind him while holding the child.
“and! what is that person That challenge mode is very difficult, but he is extremely good at it. right?”
“Awesome. This must be filmed unconditionally.”
One by one, passers-by from the downtown area began to gather in front of the game hall where the gates were open.
“But that person. Are you familiar?”
“that’s right! I wasn’t the only one who thought so.”
“Where did you see it?”
“wait for a sec. i think i will remember It must have been a star tube… … .”
Yu-rim Pyo felt that something was unusually going on in the atmosphere.
I think I need to get out of here for some reason before more people gather here. I thought so in my head, but when I put it on, it didn’t come off easily.
Kim Do-yoon’s actions in trying to get Do-rim’s gift. The look of a man immersed in something is so cool. It was because I was obsessed with that thought.
[Mission All Complete! Your First Winner! Concreation!]
Among them, after defeating all the enemies, prepared fanfare exploded throughout the game machine.
“Nonsense. really broke it… ? Is that a one-coin no-hit clear?”
In front of the collapsing employee, Kim Do-yoon smiled kindly.
“Staff. No, should I call you boss?”
“Ugh. no. Employees are right… . yes. You broke everything. First of all, according to the rules, you can get the first prize. that’s it, um When I heard about it earlier, you said you wanted a doll… … .”
“Ahahahaha. staff. Why is your tongue crawling like that? Of course, I will take the first prize.”
Kim Do-yoon’s answer made the employee’s complexion even paler.
“Yeah, I guess so… ?”
“I was going to get rid of it by eating only 3rd place points. If only that hadn’t been the first thing that came out as scandalous.”
“yes? Are you offended? Did I do anything?”
“So who wants to suddenly start a game without saying anything? I almost died the moment I started.”
Soshinmo had to pay a fee of 10,000 won per coin.
I don’t know what Pyo Yoo-rim would be like, but for Kim Do-yoon, it was a challenge like a thousand gold. Even more so, he was more sensitive because he was trying with someone else’s money, not his own money.
“Not that… … .”
“If not, I will be grateful for the first prize.”
“Sorry for starting the game on its own!”
He was a very quick change of attitude.
“It’s nice to be honest.”
“Ehehehe. Thank you for a good look.”
“of course. I will still take the first prize.”
“Black… … .”
While Kim Do-yoon was about to take the console out of the shelf, he realized that Do-rim was staring at something with the tip of his index finger slightly biting his lips.
It was the doll that caught my eye at first.
“dad. Won’t you give me that doll?”
“Dorim. I’ll give you a better doll later.”
“I was sick of having that doll… … .”
It was then.
“oh my! What does our cute and dainty young lady know!”
The president, who was drooping, smelled like a ghost and approached Dorim.
Kim Do-yoon frowned and stood between the president and Do-rim.
“hey. Don’t mess with the kid for nothing. It’s ugly to see.”
“It’s not like that. Actually, this doll was handmade by me. You can’t get it anywhere else?”
“You made that yourself?”
The boss rubbed his palms and replied.
“sure! Originally, I started this store as a claw machine business. If you look over there in the corner, you can see the claw machine, right? All the dolls in there are made by me one by one. The doll on the shelf over there is one of my most ambitious works, so I put it up as a separate product.”
“Hmm. good what It seems like Dorim really liked it, so it’s a bit like not giving it to him. Then I’ll take it as a doll.”
“Excellent choice! instead! There are other masterpieces that I plan to put on display later when that doll goes on sale! I will bundle it up as a set and cover it as much as possible!”
After a while.
The owner hurriedly entered the store and soon handed over an envelope full of dolls. The doll that Dorim liked was packaged separately and given to him.
“Kyaaa! So many dolls! Besides, everything is lovely! mister. Are you giving me all of this?”
“Dorim. Be polite in front of strangers. In that case, you should say thank you.”
When Kim Do-yun gave a small command, Do-rim bowed his head and immediately followed.
“Thank you~”
“okay. OK. thank you for liking my doll Thank you so much… . I’m serious… … .”
therefore.
The trivial happenings at the hologram game room are over. Kim Do-yoon was satisfied with his cool appearance as a father, and Do-rim was happy to get the doll he wanted.
“hey! Wait!”
… … It didn’t end smoothly.
The crowd of onlookers decided that they finally had an opportunity to intervene, and came closer to them, to be exact, toward Kim Do-yoon.
“That person. Is that person too? He’s the man in the video we saw last time!”
“Crazy. Look at the real handsome one!”
“Kim Do-yoon! Do you know that Kim Do-yoon is a popular star on the Internet?”
If I had pretended to know because I was impressed by the gameplay scene, I would have lightly ignored it. They approached him as if they knew Doyoon Kim from before.
“yes… ? How did you know me?”
That fact made it difficult for him to take his steps. Even so, he had a lot of stabbing points related to his past activities.
“Don’t you know Star Tube?”
“I know, I know. How did you know my name?”
“You played the violin at Signal the other day, right?”
“yes? Ah yes. It was.”
“Because Na Seol-ah commented on that performance video! What kind of relationship do you have with Na Seol-ah? I heard that Na Seol-ah calls you teacher?”
The stories he heard were subjects that were completely out of Kim Do-yoon’s expectations.
No, in a way, it was also a predicted flow.
“I saw that video too! I heard you fought a Septagram executive in Neverland?”
“You weren’t sick then? I heard that it happened while trying to save a child?”
“I saw it too, and it was so cool, like a hero! Can we take a picture together?”
“That’s it, wait a minute. I have a place I need to go to urgently… … . Mr. A. stray forest. Let’s just bounce!”
Right after I realized that I couldn’t afford to react individually. Kim Do-yoon and Pyo Yu-rim each showed off their physical strength as adults and ran away from the crowd.
but.
The appearance of him practicing swordsmanship in the game room has already been recorded on video. Sooner or later, that figure will once again circulate on social media and heat up Kim Do-yoon’s existence again.
wider. further.
From positive to negative.

“Phew. That should be enough.”
It wasn’t until I came to a street where there were few crowds that I finally sighed. I could never have thought that taking off my hat for a while while playing a game would cause trouble.
‘No. In terms of that, the fact that my video was uploaded in the first place is a headache.’
Belatedly, I searched for Star Tube on my smartphone. When I searched for my name, I saw my videos going around with all sorts of aggressive titles.
Playing the signal violin. I didn’t know because I wasn’t in a good mood at the time, but everyone seemed to be running away to save me.
The bigger problem was that I realized this fact in the middle of the day.
‘It seems that the time to deal with it has already passed.’
taste was bitter.
Should I consider myself fortunate that I have realized this fact even now? Anyway, it was a day when I realized that I should be more careful about going out in the future.
“Daddy daddy!”
“huh?”
“Is your dad really popular?”
I was very embarrassed to answer.
Isn’t it a yard that is treated like a dark hypnotist or something in Signal?
“okay. Dad is usually quite popular.”
Even so.
A father needed to be perfect in front of his child. Even if you have to lie sometimes.
“Hi-Hi. I think you know I’m popular.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because Dad is a hero! My sisters and brothers are like that too! Daddy saved me too. That’s why I also become a hero and Sipper.”
I was glad that you admired me. My heart sank at the words that he would do the same for me.
“I am too young now. Let’s think about it later when Dorim becomes an adult.”
The child’s expression turned sullen, probably because of the disapproving answer. I smiled awkwardly and comforted him.
“Where shall we go next?”
Yurim Pyo asked.
“Ugh. Because something like that happened a while ago.”
“Should we go back to Signal?”
back.
at that time. Do-rim, who was held in Pyo-yu-rim’s arms, reached out and grabbed my collar.
“dad. Are you done playing now?”
He looked a bit sad.
“wait.”
As I hurriedly looked around, a store caught my eye. Each room was covered with something like a tent, and on top of it was a signboard that read, ‘Galaxy 7 cuts’.
‘Is it an unmanned photo studio?’
Looking more closely, there was a promotional message saying, “Come here and make your own Big Dipper to keep in your memory.”
“Dorim. Let’s take a picture over there.”
“picture? What is that?”
“It’s a place where you can see Dorim’s face in pictures.”
“Jjigeulrae!”
The expression of the child, who had been depressed to the fullest at the word of returning, brightened again.
I entered the store with Pyoyu-rim. Upon entering the seemingly empty tent, instructions on how to use the device were written on the poster.
‘Is it a picture that makes a face that fits the subject when you give a signal on the screen? It’s fun.’
A total of seven words were output from the monitor. pleasure. anger. sadness. joy. love. Hatred. craving.
“Hi-Hi.”
click!
“Kwuuu!”
click!
“Black… .”
There was one thing I learned while taking pictures. Dorim knew how to read the words on the other side of the screen. I thought I had good conversational skills for a three-year-old, but it wasn’t because of my mood.
“Dorim. Can you read letters?”
“huh. Old moms and dads told me If you don’t know, you’ll scold me… … .”
Pyo Yu-rim gently shook the arm he was holding as if comforting a child.
“We don’t scold you for not knowing.”
“That’s why mom and dad are younger now. lol.”
Giing.
while we talked for a while. Photos taken from the machine were printed out.
“Wow! Mom and Dad and I have so many!”
In the middle of Dorim showing curiosity by pointing his finger at the photo. I murmured as I looked around the photos I had taken.
“Why does the pyoyurim look the same?”
“I tried, but it didn’t work… … ”
When I saw it in person, I was able to read the emotions with fine muscle movements. The appearance of Pyoyu-rim, taken in this still photo, was as blunt as the first impression.
“Dad photos are fun, but mom photos are fun. And scared.”
“so? Mmm. Maybe this is good.”
A good idea came to my mind.
“Let’s take another shot. This time, I’ll help you make a good expression.”
“how?”
“If you tell me in advance, it won’t work.”
I operated the device again and executed the single shooting function, not concept shooting.
next.
When I was ready to shoot, I whispered the magic words in a low voice so only Pyoyu-rim could hear.
Sailors.
“… … .”
click!
Whisper.
“Oh… .”
click!
whisper.
“… … !”
click!
Giing.
In the photo that was printed out again, the downed stray forest. Shameful driftwood. I saw a driftwood with a small arc drawn on the corner of my mouth.
“Wow! Mum is delighted now too!”
It was fortunate that Dorim was satisfied.
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. What did you mean by that?”
Although the pyoyurim did not seem to be satisfied.
“That’s what I was trying to make you look at.”
“It’s too much… … .”
“no. If you look at the flow of the conversation just now, you can tell just by looking at it that it was made up.”
“You know what is usually called hope torture?”
It seemed like it would be disadvantageous if the conversation continued.
Let’s run away.
“Wow?”
“Dorim. Shall we stop by somewhere else before going home?”
I hurriedly intercepted Dorim and left the unmanned photo studio.
“really? Aren’t you going home?”
“Instead, it won’t be as much fun as there was before.”
“Daddy and Mom and anything worthwhile are worthwhile!”
I was glad that the child was like that.
“I don’t like… .”
It must be because of the mood that there are children who are not like that.
Big hum.
***
Iron lump. Iron lump.
Way back to signal. We sat next to each other at a sunny window, enjoying the noise of the train.
Dorim, sitting between me and Pyoyurim, was dozing off.
“Dorim. You can lie down comfortably.”
“nah… .”
“why?”
“If we break up now, I won’t be able to see my dad again… . I want to see more… .”
A fern-like hand grips my collar tightly. Seeing him looking up at me with eyes like a bone diseased chick made my heart ache for some reason.
“Dorim. Shall we live together in the future?”
There was no answer.
It was a thoughtful and thoughtful statement. I’m sorry that I didn’t get the reaction I was expecting… … .
“… … yes?”
It wasn’t.
The sleepy child’s eyes slowly began to widen. It was just that I was sleepy and it took me a while to understand what I was saying.
I asked for confirmation.
“We sleep together when we sleep.”
“really?”
“then. Really.”
“… … .”
That was the moment.
“Do, Dorim?”
The child started to cry.
If I had cried sadly, I would have patted him on the back. The child quietly shed tears like chicken droppings, but did not make a sound of crying.
“Dad. Are you leaving me?”
“What are you talking about. I can’t do that.”
“Are you really together?”
“of course.”
“lol. that’s right. My dad told me to trust my dad thank god.”
“… … .”
I decided not to think about my child’s past anymore. While holding Dorim in his arms, he quietly stroked the back of her head.
Treat me well from now on and let me forget about it. That’s it.
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon.”
Pyo Yu-rim, who had been watching us quietly, suddenly spoke to us.
“why. Is there anything you want to say?”
“I want to live with you too.”
“… … uh?”
“I am Dorim’s mother. I gave it a name. Is Dorim okay too?”
Unfortunately I wasn’t okay.
‘I don’t know if it’s just a brief meeting, but I have to live under one roof and endure it all the time?’
because I didn’t have
The confidence to live under the same roof with a woman like Pyo Yu-rim and keep the strings of the opposite s*x pretending to be a gentleman.
