Aiden and Cain sat down with coffee cups.
“It’s taking quite a while.”
A brief remark from Aiden.
But it was Cain who could easily understand what that meant.
There is still no news from the US.
Even if I try to wait patiently, there is no reason not to be concerned.
“Well, as long as you prepare thoroughly, you can do more damage, right?
“That’s right.”
After taking a sip of coffee, Aiden asked Cain.
“How are you these days?”
“I have no time to be bored. I make this and that every day. You must be bored.”
“Uh-huh. This friend… The concentration is great. If anyone hears it, they will think I’m idle. If I know, I’m a busy person. Do I teach because I’m experimenting?”
They laughed for a moment.
Aiden looked out the window.
“Now that I think about it, a lot of time has passed. Winter is already approaching. This year is only a few days away.”
“Is Hanwol-gun still in training for closing?”
Aiden nodded.
Cain’s feelings flowed out.
“That’s great. Hagi, did I become an S-class?”
“Maybe. It’s definitely special. Hanwol-kun, his younger brother, and his father too.”
Cain asked as if he understood what he was saying.
“Jewol-kun? Is it worth teaching?”
“Rather than teaching, it is correct to say that you instruct.”
Cain stood out.
“Is that tidy?”
Isn’t it like saying that if you just take the direction, it will drive itself out?
Of course, giving directions is very helpful, but the basic qualities themselves are excellent.
“Yeah. He’s a talented person who can guide you.”
Aiden, who paused for a moment, added a few words.
That voice, like a self-talk.
“I thought I would just take my research results with me when I die…”
It was a light tone, but it didn’t mean anything at all.
“Congratulations. It’s a good thing. It’s a great loss to humanity that your research results are put into practice.”
“Um. Maybe, it doesn’t stop there… If it’s Jewol-kun, it can be developed further.”
Then Aiden looked at Cain and continued.
“It’s all because I put all my energy and passion into it. I’m pretty busy.”
Cain laughed once more at his friend’s joke.
He changed the direction of the topic.
Because it wasn’t just Yu Je-wol that was mentioned more.
“How is Hanwol’s father? Even though he is aware of the situation, how is he making any progress?”
“Yeah. I slowly increased the difficulty… but the game isn’t over yet. How can I express that… How can I be immersed like that… I’m not a normal person. How can someone like that…”
Cain nodded.
“I’m definitely special.”
The image that Yu Ja-geon showed during the last attack on the base flashed through his mind.

“Aiden. Is it okay for a minute?”
At the voice of Lee Dan-ah, Aiden told him to wait for a moment, and he quickly organized what he was doing.
“Yeah. What’s going on?”
“Aiden. It’s a bit like this, but…”
It looks like he’s being careful about what he’s saying.
“It’s okay, so let me tell you.”
“I wish I could go out with my mom for a bit.”
I felt sorry in Lee Dan-ah’s tone.
A situation where all of the base personnel could not go out for a long time and were almost confined inside.
It was because I had to bring these words out while everyone was putting up with it.
It was a heretic who suddenly felt the heart of her mother one day.
I think my mother is very frustrated.
I felt terribly sorry.
How could it not be?
I even went to work.
Besides, I used to flirt with my boyfriend.
I haven’t seen you for a while now though.
Anyway, there is a feeling of being close to him.
It’s dangerous, but there’s also happiness to be with him.
But my mother is still living a life completely isolated from society because of me.
Besides, I couldn’t spend much time with my mom because of training.
A mother who looks kind of depressed.
I wanted to change the atmosphere.
“Yeah, that’s a good idea.”
Lee Dan-ah raised her head at Aiden’s readily heard words.
his words continued.
“Even if you don’t, I think you’ll look a little lonely these days. That’s why I thought I’d talk to you anyway.”
Lee Dan-ah was full of gratitude and grabbed his hand tightly.
“Thank you, Aiden.”
“Thank you. Why can’t we go outside even though we’re going to work? Even if it wasn’t, we were just going to talk to the base personnel about going out. There are facilities where we can go out secretly anyway.”
“I’ll be careful and get back to you!”
* * *
Lee Dan-ah turned her head and looked to the side.
The side face of the mother who is in the cold winter wind is spread brightly.
It’s the expression they’ve always had since the two of them went out to get some air.
A car stopped on the side of a quiet road.
uninhabited place.
The voice of the mother looking down at the sea with her bare face came out quietly.
“It’s great.”
Not that it wasn’t, but Ethan-ah felt the same way.
It is a sight that can be seen to the fullest even from inside the base, but it looks like something new just by being outside.
Now, the weather is enough to make you breathe… It seemed to give a more refreshing feeling.
When Mr. Han-Wol comes out, I have to come out together.
Thoughts about him crept into my mind while I am with my mother.
Lee Dan-ah beat herself up.
‘Ugh… Let’s just focus on Mom today!’
She quickly opened her mouth and sighed.
“Is it? It’s good to be out.”
A mother looking after her daughter.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever had time like this with you.”
ah… did that mean?
A smiling mother’s face.
The years digging deep into it.
Lee Dan-ah said with a wide smile.
Otherwise, I felt like I was about to burst into tears.
“Now, let’s come out together, Mom.”
* * *
from morning to late afternoon.
It was a mother and daughter who spent intimate time together.
I had already researched all the tourist spots that my mother would like and places that were not likely to be crowded.
time passing by.
So, on the way to the last schedule, I changed the route.
The two stopped by the Cheonjiyeon Waterfall that their mother said they wanted to visit.
Watching the waterfall falling over the wide pond makes your heart feel refreshed.
“Mom. Nice here!”
Mom nodded and looked at the waterfall.
Lee Dan-ah looked at her mother’s side like that and asked.
“Mom, have you been here?”
“Yeah. When you’re dating your dad.”
“……”
“It was pretty back then, but here it is still the same as it used to be.”
After that, the mother and daughter were silent for a while.
That was until almost everyone walked out.
Dan-ah Lee glanced at her mother.
His face is covered, so he can’t see his expression, but he seems to be immersed in memories.
I didn’t want to disturb.
As she walked out like that, her eyes caught her mother’s gaze looking at one place.
Let’s follow there and come out,
‘A sushi restaurant? … Are you okay?’
Lee Dan-ah shook her head.
It is a yard that covers all the faces and moves.
The most important thing to watch out for is when eating with your face exposed.
So, for lunch, we reserved a room in advance and ate only the two of us.
It is the same as having reserved a room for dinner.
Then one thought came to my mind.
‘Ah, have you ever been with your father?’
Dan-ah Lee, who looked at her mother, opened her mouth.
“Mom, do you want to eat sashimi over there?”
Mom nodded.
“Then let’s go.”
Even if it might be a little dangerous, I wanted to do my mom’s will for today.
Two people enter an old-looking sushi restaurant.
“welcome!”
The store owner who was sitting there greeted the mother and daughter with a smile.
“Hello. Do you have any rooms here?”
“Ah, there is no room… What are you in the mood to use all alone today?”
The owner laughed for a while, then he continued.
“Originally, quite a lot of customers come, but today is also a weekday, and strangely, there are few customers. The time comes.
When we look around according to his hand gestures, the photos and autographs of famous people appear to have been promoted as a restaurant in their own way.
‘Fortunately, there are no guests.’
The owner seems concerned about that, but it’s better for us.
As I sat down with my mother in a corner, Dan-ah Lee said in a low tone.
“Mom, have you been here with Dad?”
A bubbly and smiling mother.
“It was around sunset when you and your dad came to Cheonjiyeon Falls. I went to a sushi restaurant on the way out. But I don’t know if that’s the case. It’s been a while.”
The store owner recommended an expensive sashimi course because the price was reasonable.
Of course, Lee Dan-ah was willing to order any menu, even if it was more expensive than that.
“Just order in moderation.”
Thanks to her mother who said whether she knew her heart, she was just a heretic who ordered according to the owner’s recommendation.
The food continues to come out so generously that there is not enough space to put it on a large table.
“Kya! Good.”
Mom drinks a glass of soju and puts sashimi in her mouth.
Ethan looking at it with a smile.
The mother opened her mouth to the face of such a daughter.
“I’m drinking soju here with your dad, and it’s so sweet. Mom couldn’t drink alcohol well and didn’t eat it because it didn’t taste good. But it was so strange that day.”
It was as if she had returned to her childhood days.
Dan-ah Lee said, holding out her soju glass.
“Mom, give me a drink too.”
“Would you like to drink too?”
“I’m not going to drink a little, not much.”
A drink made by my mother.
and clinking glasses.
“braided.”
At that moment, Lee Dan-ah glanced back at the sound from behind.
“welcome!”
The boss is happy with the guests who come in.
And two young women, looking around, and sitting at a distance after a distance.
Lee Dan-ah turned her head again and looked at her mother.
And he smiled like he didn’t care.
It was the two of us entering when we came out of Cheonjiyeon Falls earlier.
Obviously civilians.
The feeling isn’t bad either.
And as if she understood Lee Dan-ah’s expression, her mother’s face, which had hardened slightly, loosened up again.
“Mom, I’ll pour you a drink.”
My daughter went to the bathroom for a while.
The mother looked at her empty seat, and glanced at the guests sitting over there.
Two women who look the same age as daughters.
‘… .’
It was nice to see him witty and smiling.
‘How frustrating would it be?’
The same goes for my daughter as well.
However, he lost his dream and was engulfed in such a dangerous thing because he met his poor parents.
Her husband’s face appeared in front of her.
As if when was the last time I fell in longing, resentment towards him rises.
‘Even if you hadn’t left so early… .’
Our precious daughter must have been on TV by now.
‘after… .’
Her hand slowly grabs the glass.
He drank the soju glass slowly.
The alcohol, which was only sweet as in the old days, suddenly felt bitter.
A taste that will make you frown.
Then it was her mother’s face that opened wide.
Because I heard the sign of my daughter walking from the bathroom.
If you express your hard feelings, your daughter will not feel comfortable.
It was nice to see the two of them out today, but I also wondered if they were showing too much in their faces.
‘What’s so hard about being comfortably inside? .’
There is nothing I can do for my daughter.
so,
Shouldn’t even bother with it.
Mom smiled brightly.
