171 – Finding the Ring (3)
“Uh…What should I do?”
“What should I do? I have to make a phone call first.”
“Or go home and surprise me.”
I thought it would be nice to find the ring, but when I actually found it, I was embarrassed.
How many years has Ara been looking for this?
Isn’t this something I haven’t been able to find even though I’ve been looking for it for 5 years?
“Yes, it’s better to go and talk than to wait anxiously for no reason.”
“I guess so…”
“Be careful not to lose it.”
If you take it all the way to Seoul and lose it on the way, it won’t be a major accident.
If you say you found a ring but it turns out it wasn’t the ring you were looking for, you might end up receiving only hate.
If I lose it, won’t I get divorced?
Of course, Ara won’t abandon me because of that…
I get even more nervous thinking about it for no reason.
“Hey, then why not leave it to me?”
“No…I’ll carry it.”
This is what I have to do.
That’s why I won’t leave it to Jeonghwan or Minho.
Afterwards, she finished organizing the food she ate to go up to Seoul.
Disposable dishes were placed outside in the garbage bag that I had purchased.
I placed a scented candle on the table where the photo of the two of you was kept and prayed for their souls to rest in peace once again.

I will take good care of Ara, so I hope she can sleep comfortably and not worry too much.
“Ara is taking care of you.”
“My husband doesn’t understand the topic.”
“Ugh…I guess I can’t refute it.”
In some ways, I am a stray cat and Ara is a fairy who picked up a stray cat and raised it?
If Ara hadn’t paid attention to me, she might have passed away.
“In that sense, I did the right thing in returning the favor.”
“Isn’t it a scene from a movie, to even find things for her wife?”
I thought it was a man, so they started talking loudly, saying it was a story like a melodrama.
In some ways, it feels more like a movie story than a movie.
The best thing I have done in my life is
Because I approached Ara who was crying.
***
I took the KTX to Seoul.
From the moment my wife left home, I was careful not to lose her bag, which was slung over her shoulder.
It was because of the accessory storage box inside.
Maybe that’s why some people looked at me strangely.
Every time, he took off his sunglasses and smiled.
Rumors will probably circulate on the Internet for a while like a ghost story, but wouldn’t it be better than Jung-hwan and Min-ho being treated like strange people?
I broke up with the two people and took a taxi home alone.
Ara would have finished work by now and will be waiting for me at home.
“I’ve been there…”
Sure enough, the little ones and the little ones came out to meet us at the front door, barking loudly.
Now that Jjomul has grown to a certain extent, he starts whining and crying instead of whining, making him feel like a puppy.
Do you think it just felt like a cotton ball doll before?
Anyway, I hope he grows up healthy.
As I lifted the little b*tch and the little b*tch with both hands and held them to my chest, they started to tickle my cheek.
Dad, I have no hair, so are you grooming me?
There is no such thing as a dutiful son or a dutiful daughter.
“Seonghwan, are you here?”
Ara appeared at the front door hesitantly, hiding her body and sticking her head out as if she was embarrassed.
It seemed like there was a feeling of anticipation that he might have found the ring, but also a feeling of regret and regret that it would still be difficult to find.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Huh? Ah…It’s nothing.”
Then, he started looking through my bag.
It was empty when I took it out in the morning.
I guess I knew there was something inside because something was drooping now.
But when you do that, you really look like a hamster.
I want to hold sunflower seeds in my hand.
“Did you… Find it?”
Ara quietly throws a fastball.
I suddenly burst out laughing.
Let’s play a prank.
“What?”
“Seo…Seonghwan you!”
Ara’s face turned red like blush.
It seems he was quite embarrassed to ask after throwing a fastball.
I feel a little dizzy.
Is this a danger signal?
If I make fun of you for no reason, I might get hated, so I have to stop.
“Sister, follow me into the living room.”
“Huh? Ah…Okay.”
I headed to the living room holding Kkomul and Sjomul.
Then he placed it on the table and gave a command, not an order, to sit down.
Accordingly, the two puppies sat quietly and started looking at me and Ara.
“First of all…”
I felt like I was on the verge of going crazy out of curiosity, so I decided not to hesitate.
I took out a rather large accessory storage box from my bag and placed it on the table.
“This is what I discovered today.”
“This…Is this?”
“I opened under the sink to look for disposable plates, right? But there was light reflecting from the side where the drain is underneath, so I checked and found this.”
And he said that he dismantled it and opened the door with the help of Jeonghwan and Minho.
I smiled when I saw Ara clearly listening to what I was explaining without missing a single thing.
“And…In here…”
It was impossible to lock it because there was no key, so I secured it with a rubber band.
I tried to loosen the rubber band, but the timing was so amazing that it reached its limit and broke.
The fragments flew to the little fish sitting next to us, and the lightning struck only our poor little little girl.
“Squeeze~ Doesn’t it hurt?”
“Woof!”
After seeing my appearance, I felt like I had gained some composure and was checking to see if there were any injuries from holding Kkomul.
After all, people need to be able to afford it.
“Sister, look at this.”
“I…I’m sorry.”
I held the little one like a baby and started looking at the box.
According to that, my hand opened the top of the rattling box and flipped it over.
The accessory storage box contained several accessories.
It was full of jewelry that looked expensive, including necklaces and clothespins.
“These things were here…”
“Are these things you know?”
“Yes, I bought them all for Mom and Dad.”
Perhaps he was lost in memories after not seeing each other for a long time, as he held the accessory in his hand and looked at it with sad eyes.
The most important thing still remains.
“And, I brought this separately just in case.”
And then I showed Ara the ring storage box I had kept hidden in my bag.
After seeing that, as if it were different, water droplets began to form around Ara’s eyes.
Her tears began to grow bigger and bigger, unable to withstand the tension, and ran down her cheeks, then dripped.
The little girl being held climbed up on the table and patted Ara’s cheek, telling her not to cry.
“Open it.”
“Yes…”
The ring storage box opens with a clicking sound.
There were two fairly old silver rings neatly placed inside.
When I took out the ring and saw something engraved inside, I started crying this time.
“Mom and Dad hit me…..”
It looks like they probably checked the initials or something.
I slowly approached the crying Ara and wrapped my arms around her shoulders.
I cried as if I was going to let out all the sadness and anger I had from not being able to find this ring.
“Thank you… Thank you, Seonghwan… I don’t know how to express my gratitude…”
“What? Just stay by my side.”
I pulled out a tissue from the table and wiped away Ara’s tears.
The tears continued to flow, so she used up all the tissues, and even her handkerchief became wet.
So, while she was crying, I kept giving her water to replenish her moisture.
I will probably shed tears for a long time today.
Is it because I’m looking for a ring?
Ara smiled refreshingly, as if she had been liberated from the guilt that had weighed on her mind for five years.
***
“Wow! It’s refreshing!”
Ara is smiling while stretching her legs.
The expression does not go well with the black suit he is wearing.
“I’m not crying anymore.”
“I found the ring, so Mom and Dad will be smiling too!”
I stopped by the charnel house, offered her ring, and came out.
Last time I came here, she shed a lot of tears and had a hard time comforting me.
This time, she laughed without thinking, but a bitter smile came out.
Is it because he was looking for a ring?
From that day on, Ara feels more energetic.
“This is all thanks to you, Seonghwan.”
“Hmm… I’m a little embarrassed.”
“So, you want to repay your sister?”
“Repayment?”
She tilted her head.
Ara wants to repay me. This is my first time going in this direction.
“Is there anything you want? I don’t care if it’s expensive.”
“Hmm… Then, the smartphone released this time…”
Recently, I wanted to try collecting smartphones, and I wanted to make my first start something meaningful.
If Ara buys it for you in return, she would be perfect to start with.
“Of course I can buy it for you! Shall we go right now?!”
“Where do you want to buy it?”
“Hey, if you go to the supermarket, they’ll sell it.”
“Hmm… It’s for sale.”
Nowadays, with self-sufficiency and all, mobile phones are not sold only by telecommunication companies.
I don’t know much about such a system since it was recently created.
“Get on board!”
“Okay, okay.”
I sat in the passenger seat of the Bugatti Chiron.
Probably, I won’t be able to come to this charnel house until next year.
