8 – A New Family
Fizzly the baby bear.
An animation depicting the daily lives of the strongest baby bear Pizzly and her friends in the forest, born to a mother, a grizzly bear, and her father, a polar bear.
It is a domestic 3D animation for children airing as an educational program, and its status was such that it was called the “President of Kindergarten”, Collectively known as “Distribution Order.”
“Araya~ Should I watch while eating? You keep not eating and turn off the TV when you watch Peasley?”
“Ugh… I will eat~”
Of course, Yuara, the 6-year-old youngest daughter of a conglomerate family, was also a big fan of all kinds of toys of the baby bear Pizzly.
This morning as well, she is eating breakfast and watching the animation of the baby bear Fizzly.
“Wow~ Have you seen Sol? Peasley hit it, and all the hunters were blown away! Peasley is so cute~ isn’t it?”
“… Is that cute?”
On the screen, I saw the poor poachers who had been hit by the baby bear’s front paw and pinned to a rock.
Polar bears are said to tear people apart, and Fizzly is a more terrifying monster than a polar bear that blows people apart like a baseball.
Perhaps if something like that existed in real life, we would have to mobilize a tank to catch it.
Only the face is cute, but it looks more dangerous than a dinosaur.
I wondered if this would be good for the children’s emotions, but I decided to keep quiet because Seung Ah-sin also looked happy in the back.
“Huh? Mom!!! Fizzly Polar Bear Version 2 Come Out!! If you don’t have that, you’ll lose to the Peasley Rival Liger!! You must buy that!!”
“No~ They still say that the toy room will explode… Ugh, but that company said that the last time was really the last time, so they’re releasing a new one again? Just changed the color from the last one… “
“The real last! I won’t ask you to buy it again, so it’s really the last one! Huh?”
For a toy company, parents with children are amazing rods.
Children can’t wait to have a new toy by slightly arranging it from the existing toy.
What if we show it as an advertisement near the end of the animation?
Children go crazy as soon as they see the advertisement. Parents who can’t afford it have no choice but to open their wallets.
This is a terrifying trick.
“No. Ara, the other day, you said it was really the last time, and you said it was a joke. Why do you need a new one when you can’t play with everything you have? No!”
“Ooh, ooh… ah! Cow, Sol! Sally wants that! I have a lot, but Sol doesn’t have Fizzly! Sol needs that to play with me too!”
“Han Sol said he was seeing Fizzly for the first time, but what… Is it really Hansol? Do you need that?”
“… Me?”
You’re going to use this as my excuse?
I was stunned by Ara’s endless greed.
‘No, I don’t think there is money in this house to buy toys… But it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a little bit of ‘
Ara, who looks at us with bright eyes, and Ara’s mother, who says, “Say no.”
Is it to win Ara’s favor or to educate her correctly?
In a conflicted situation…
“No, you can’t buy it. I just need to play with Ara Girl.”
Three-year-old habits become eighty.
If luxury is acquired from an early age, the child’s future will be bleak.
I made a choice for Ara’s bright future.
But if you choose, you have to pay the price of your choice.
“Pour… “
Beyond Han Seung-ah stroking my hair, I could see Ara puffing out her cheeks and crying.
———-
“Sol, who was said to be comfortable with me all my life, is no longer there. She betrayed her not even for a lifetime, not even for the winter.”
“So you hate me now?”
“… I didn’t like it. Don’t come this way though. I won’t give you my toys.”
In Ara’s room, Ara pouted and hugged the Fizzly toys as much as she could.
Of course she couldn’t fit all those toys in her small chest.
Laughing at his cute figure, I took out my only toy, an old turtle toy.
“I just need this toy.”
“It doesn’t make a sound and it doesn’t light up? Is that better than mine?”
“Even though it’s old, I like it better.”
A turtle toy that Yuna Lee bought me before I was born.
I couldn’t throw it away thinking that this was something Yoona Lee bought me when she loved me.
Most of my belongings in the house where I lived with Lee Yoon-ah were useless, so I threw them all away, but I kept this.
“Still, you can’t play with me because of that… this, this! I’ll give you the Pizzly Polar Bear version! Play with me with this! Special!”
“I prefer the grizzly bear?”
“Oh no! The grizzly version is stronger! The strongest is mine! But the polar bear version swims better!”
“Yes. If you swim better, Polar Bear will win in the water, right?”
“Uh, uh uh… no! Still, the Grizzlies win!”
His temperament is mild, so his anger doesn’t last long.
Ara played with a bright smile as if she had never been so upset.
While we were playing, stirring the Polar Bear Fizzly and giving it to Ara’s Grizzly Fizzly, Han Seung-ah came into the room.
“Hansol, would you like to come out for a second? Ara is in the room. Uncle is calling.”
“Oh, yes. What happened to the boss… “
“Sol, do you have to come quickly? If you don’t come quickly, will you catch and eat the polar bear grizzly?”
I followed Han Seung-ah into Yoo Jae-joon’s room.
Inside the room, Yoo Jae-joon was sitting at a desk reading some papers.
He gestured as I entered and pointed to a chair.
“Come here. Sit down at once I need to talk to you about something. Take a look at this first I heard from her wife, but you already know how to read, right?”
“Ah, yes, but… “
As I sat down, Yoo Jae-jun handed me some papers he was holding.
It contained the personal information of several families.
“Hey, boss, this is… ?”
“Actually, I contacted your mother’s relatives. To find someone to take care of you. However… Well, it seems like everyone wants to get you, but they can’t afford it.”
“Ah, is that so? I’m fine with places like daycare centers… “
The fact that Lee Yoon-ah’s family couldn’t accept me because they couldn’t afford it was probably Yoo Jae-joon’s thoughtful lie.
She heard that Yoona Lee broke up with her parents on a bad note.
Perhaps they didn’t accept me because they couldn’t afford it, but because they were the children of a child who had never had a relationship.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Rather, it is better to live freely in a nursery school than to live uncomfortable with a family I do not know.
“So neither I nor my wife feel comfortable. So I looked around for some families who wanted a son.”
“Ah, then the people listed here… ?”
“Yeah, I showed you your picture and everyone liked it. My wife and I have selected the most trustworthy among them.”
Looking through the documents I received, I found self-introductions of well-to-do childless couples, including people in high positions in the Daehan Group, legal workers, and medical workers.
From noble mtl dot com
There, not only their personal information, but also their assets and parenting plans after adopting me were described in detail.
Hmmm, am I that tidy?
Will these wealthy people, just because they have a good-looking face, adopt a child from whom they may have been born?
Ah, looking at Yoo Jae-joon’s face, something roughly comes to mind.
Perhaps by adopting me, he has the intention of gaining a connection with the Yoo Jae-joon family?
You need a child, and through that child, you will also gain a strong connection with the conglomerate family.
It’s not about two rabbits, it’s one pizzly for one rabbit.
“But I suddenly have a family, but something… Um, I’m also anxious.”
“It’s not like we have to decide right away, Hansol. But even the lady knows the people there, and they are all good people. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Yes. I was just trying to talk to you today. Take it with you and think about it slowly. I’ll have to go to the company now. Let’s go and talk more.”
“Yes, sir.”
I returned to Ara’s room with the documents.
Surprisingly, Ara, who was left alone, was practicing writing letters in a Korean exercise book.
“Ah, Sol! Look at this I was also practicing to write well in Korean like Sol did!”
“You write well. Ara, since you’re smart, you’ll be able to write better than me soon, right?”
These are not empty words.
While living in this house, Ara seemed to have better language skills compared to her peers, and her understanding was also high.
It was probably inherited from her father, Jaejun Yoo.
He must have a much better natural brain than me who was born to trash parents.
“Ehehehe… But what is Sol doing? What’s this? Adoption, hopeful? What is adoption for her?”
“Becoming a new family. The boss says, but these people want to be a family with me.”
“… A new family?”
A new family.
As soon as she heard her words, Ara’s face hardened.
Waves began to hit her big eyes.
“So, did Sol lie? Whoa… Say you’ll stay by my side… “
“Huh? Oh no that’s, uh… Can we meet often? The boss says that all these people are friends with the boss… “
“They said Sol-i left me… ! Uhhh!!”
“Bur, who threw it away! Araya, let me say something… “
As if I couldn’t hear anything like my explanation, Ara took the documents I was holding from her and tore them up.
Pieces of torn papers flew all over the room, and the sound of crying resounded throughout the house.
“Huh, huh! I wonder if you wrote it together… You’ve been on my side all my life, wow!!”
“Ah, Araya… Do you really come to see me often? Let’s stop crying for now, huh?”
“Guys! What’s the fuss about this? Oh my, what is all this?”
Hearing her daughter’s cries, Seung Ah-sin came running.
She comforted Ara, who was shedding tears, by hugging her.
“Oh, why did my daughter cry? Did Hansol do that? Let’s drop it right now? Huh?”
“Uh, my dear~ hehehe…” Sol-i goes, Sol-i goes… Be kind to your new family! You’re not by my side! Uhhh!!”
“Ayu did that? Araya, but Hansol should live with her family… Ara has her mother and father, but what if Hansol isn’t there, right?”
“Huh, huh… So, Sol is fine… Soli just needs me… I will be Sol’s mother and father!”
… I’m really glad, but I don’t like this kind of crybaby mother.
Are you a hermaphrodite if you even have a father?
No matter how much Ara, I hate having such a monster as my parent.
“Ahh… maybe i like him uh… Shall we eat Ara Pizzly jelly?”
“… Want some.”
Should I say Seung-ah?
First of all, Ara succeeded in stopping her crying immediately with her favorite snack.
The problem is that I really just stopped crying.
After eating the jelly and stopping crying, Ara did not separate from me.
When we were in the room, we always held hands, and when we went to the bathroom, we waited in front of the door.
She ate at the dinner table, sitting in one chair.
“Araya, one person should sit in the chair.”
“I hate it. I won’t fall with Sol.”
“Mom, why is he like this? Originally, Hansol had a hard time, but today is too harsh?”
“If my father sees it, his eyes will turn upside down…” “
“Haa… leave it alone Let’s talk when Dad comes.”
Dinner time.
Ara, she is forced to sit in the same chair as me and eat.
Yoo Ji-tae and Yoo Hyun-hyun, who did not know the circumstances, were suspicious, but Han Seung-ah seemed to have given up on persuading them.
‘I feel like I’m going to die of frustration all day… ‘
Of course, this situation was the hardest for me.
———-
“So Ara and Hansol are in the room together?”
“Yes, he cries when you try to remove it by force, and he hates buying toys for you. I think Hansol doesn’t like leaving home.
“… Me too. Since she was 4 years old, she has never sat in the same chair at her meals.”
“Are you jealous right now?”
Seung-ah brought up this story as soon as Jae-joon returned home late in the evening.
In Jaejun’s room, a family meeting started, including Jitae and Ahyeon, who came in saying they wanted to hear it too.
“Mom, can’t we just stop like that? Even if Hansol goes for adoption, even if she has a hard time for a few days, I think she will be fine once she gets used to it.”
“Jitae, it’s because you haven’t seen them all day. Ara wakes up every day and thinks of Hansol.”
“But shouldn’t Hansol just adopt him from our house? Is it okay for me to have another younger brother?”
Other family members made difficult faces at Ahyeon’s simple conclusion.
Ji-tae beat Ah-hyeon.
“You idiot. Do you think adoption is easy in a family like ours? Besides, my father hated his grandfather… “
“… Yoo Ji-tae!”
“Ah… “
It was only after hearing Jae-joon’s words that Ji-tae realized his mistake.
Turning around, I saw Seung-ah’s smiling face.
“Sorry mother…”
“… He’s I don’t care. And you are right. The president will never allow adoption.”
“I didn’t even consider adopting us. Hansol isn’t good for me either. So… “
Ara would strongly oppose sending Hansol up for adoption, and she shouldn’t even adopt Hansol herself.
Jaejoon came up with a compromise solution in a situation where neither of these two was possible.
———-
“Guardian?”
“Yes. You know what a guardian is… “
With Ara clinging to her side, I heard about her offer of guardianship.
When I send her to another house, I feel sorry for her because she is so close to Ara, but it is difficult to adopt her.
“This is the story when Hansol said he likes you. If you don’t like our house or think you need your parents, just say no. But if you like it, we will really welcome you.”
“Uh, well, I… “
It is difficult to answer. Is this correct?
Even if it is not adoption, living in this house seems dangerous.
I don’t know anything about the circumstances of chaebol families, but I do know that rich people are sensitive to what they share.
I’m not going to be a child of this family, so I can’t claim any rights, but will the people around me really see it that way?
Maybe someone from the Daehan group, who I don’t know, will lay a hand on me.
Conflict with such a fearful thought, something touched my hand.
When I turned around, Ara was holding my hand tightly.
“Are you afraid of brush? It’s okay if you’re scared. Sol can go to another family. Uh, you can force her not to stay.”
“… Baby.”
Even though I don’t know why I’m conflicted, did Ara feel something?
This child is saying it’s okay with a voice mixed with crying.
Her face looks even sadder than when she cries.
… I don’t know anymore
It’s okay that I’m anxious.
I just hope this child who saved me and loves me this much won’t cry.
“Madam, please. Please be my guardian.”
“Sol!”
As soon as I got an answer, Ara hugged me.
She has already lived through hell once.
It must be more painful than then.
I do not regret my choice.
“Then, let’s go tomorrow to register Ara at the kindergarten she attends. Since winter vacation is over soon, she should be able to go out with Ara just in time.”
“… Yes?”
She is 25 years old and is the first kindergarten she attended.
… Cancel it once you don’t regret it.
