Chapter 76
Felines (4)
I took the kids out of the store. My hands are light as I put all miscellaneous items into the bag.
It wasn’t a perfect preparation there, but I was prepared for the next incident, so I feel light.
It relieves the burden of the heart that Haneul is carrying, and prepares a solution for the next incident. A win-win situation.
Finally, he took out a glass bottle from his pocket and held it. It is a transparent, unremarkable glass bottle the size of the palm of your hand.
A thick, viscous golden liquid slithers inside the vial.
When the bottle is tilted to the left, the liquid inside flows to the left. Conversely, the same goes for the right side.
Looking at the golden liquid, I couldn’t help the laughter that leaked out strangely.
I was afraid that if someone saw my face, I would say that I was laughing lowly, so I quickly tried to erase my smile, but I still couldn’t erase it.
This would be the perfect hand to use as a hand to win Yeriel’s favor and wield Kanghyuk.
The people around Kanghyuk are Haneul and Yeriel.
There’s no one I can call my own, Andrew.
It would be great if I could bring in Chevalier, Lee Yoo-ra, and even Choi Gyu-ri if possible.
Lee Young-woong and Cha Seung-hyuk’s positions overlap, so it seems enough to steal their skills.
These two have strong pride, so it’s a problem that can be solved step by step after pressing it once in a team match.
Recently, the status has risen, and child care is also progressing step by step. There, they are cruising until the team match. It couldn’t have been more perfect than this.
Lee Yoo-ra and Choi Gyu-ri have problems within the family, so we can bring them to that side… … .
It’s strange that things are working out these days.
As long as there are no dissonances and variables within the combination I envision, I can roll it perfectly according to the board I have laid out.
Unless there are variables.
It was heartwarming to see Haneul and Anya getting along well.
Was the choice I made with Anya at the store right? I didn’t know that the two would become friends so quickly.
“what. A good thing, a good thing, right?”
“… … ?”
“There is such a thing.”
“Taeyang sometimes says that only he knows… … .”
Haneul and Anya, who were walking right next to each other, raise question marks.
It’s all good for you, so I hope you understand.
After walking around with the kids, it was almost dinner time before I knew it.
In the meantime, Chevalier walks while staring at the silver cross brooch on her chest.
Was it that good?
I’m satisfied because it seems to be working in its own way.
It was a Chevalier who used to shoot me at the general store with his claws erect, but since I bribed him, he must have softened up a lot.
Now I can eat something and send it off.

Just in time, a suitable pork belly restaurant caught my eye. It was a franchise store that was not completely outdated and was very common, as if there was one in the alley in front of the house.
“hurry… … Please come… … ?”
The boss, who noticed us entering the store, hesitates. Apparently, we were smiling until we saw our appearance… … . Looking at his face, he looked confused, not knowing what to do.
hmm… … . It’s definitely an understandable reaction. Because out of four people, there must be only one child who looks like a ‘normal Korean’. Surprisingly, however, there are three Koreans among them. Even if I were the boss, I wouldn’t believe it.
“I’ll take you this way!”
It was obviously a shop that looked like it would be doing pretty well, but customers were quite sparse, probably because it didn’t have its own unique characteristics.
I went inside first in the seats where two people could sit facing each other.
And the eyes of Haneul and Anya, who were staring at the empty seat next to me for a while, cross each other.
“What are you doing? just sit down.”
“No, brother. wait a minute.”
“Yes, sun. Could you wait a minute?”
“… … ?”
Am I getting revenge for talking to myself that only I know? It’s cute too.
Seeing what the kids were doing made me smile. To be honest, I didn’t care who sat down, so I waited while organizing my bags.
“sister. Here I… … .”
“No. sky… … .”
The sky whispered to each other for a long time, but it was not, but the ending was futile.
“… … ? What are you doing without sitting down?”
It was because of Chevalier. Chevalier, who was standing there as if he was not interested, stepped forward.
She trudged in front of me… … .
-dump.
“ruler! No complaints about this? No matter how much I hate Taeyang, what should I do?”
“… … ?”
“… … uh? Rie?”
… … ?
no, what is he talking about?
I can’t believe the kids didn’t sit next to me because they didn’t like me… … . Maybe it’s just because I’m a little more comfortable.
Haneul is Chevalier and you are almost new to each other, and Anya follows me well. no way?
Hearing the trembling voices of the children, Chevalier clutched his forehead and continued in a serious voice.
“If we stay like this, it will take a long time to eat, so I will sit here. So you have no complaints?”
Anya and Haneul, who were about to say something, let out a deep sigh and sat across from each other with their shoulders drooping.
And I start eating meat… … .
Chevalier takes care of him surprisingly well.
what? Is it the effect of bribery?
* * *
Chevalier sat down beside Golden Sun and pursed her lips while looking at Anya and Haneul. okay… … . Taeyang is being ignored like this, but it’s rude for someone who received a present to just ignore it.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest. It has a plain appearance with no special decorations.
Silver cross brooch.
As I was walking down the street earlier, I took a step back and looked at it.
Even though Taeyang Geum took a suspicious drug and made a funny joke… … .
I even thought that Anya and Haneul were a little too much as they were walking around talking just the two of them as if they were ostracizing him.
From the general store, the two of them talked and communicated only among themselves. I didn’t say a word first for Taeyang, who was being turned away.
therefore… … I have to do it.
Chevalier cheered himself up, clutching the brooch with one hand.
It’s never something like a bribe.
All she had was the thought of comforting the sad little lamb who was neglected by those around her.
That’s why I sat next to Geumtaeyang to take care of it.
never.
It wasn’t because of the brooch.
In Chevalier’s field of vision, he caught the image of Taeyang accidentally dropping the meat while picking it up.
this is true… … I couldn’t help it.
She moved to take care of it as usual.
* * *
Anastasia couldn’t understand the lump in her chest as she looked at Chevalier, who was sitting in the seat next to Golden Sun.
I definitely thought it was better than Kang Ha-neul sitting down. Because she was someone Anya recognized as a competitor.
However, it was only slightly better, and it was not a result Anya was satisfied with.
Although it is clear that Anya and Haneul got it from the grocery store, the two views are completely different.
Kang Ha-neul, who has never lost his emotions.
On the contrary, it is not that you lose your emotions and slowly get to know them again as if you were going through rehabilitation.
The difference between the two starts here.
Kang Ha-neul recognized both Anya and Chevalier as competitors. Since he cannot understand Geum Taeyang’s heart, he recognizes all the women near him as ‘enemies’.
Even though I’m inexperienced in expressing myself outwardly, and I’m a little less confident… … . There were definitely things that even such a child did not want to miss.
Anya, on the other hand, was different.
She had been completely cut out of emotion.
That’s why every single thing I felt now was new, fresh, and intensely stimulating.
Her wandering mind, not knowing where to go, now found out that the golden sun was the main agent.
I can’t pinpoint what this feeling is like. But I didn’t want to miss the feeling of tickling my chest.
In a state where I just figured out that there is someone who is interfering with this feeling I’m feeling right now… … .
Confusion came because of Chevalier who suddenly came out.
The situation is strange.
I realized that it was acting strangely.
But I don’t know the cause.
If you don’t know the cause, you can’t deal with it.
My chest feels stuffy and stuffy.
Even though the meat was being cooked to a golden brown right in front of my eyes, my appetite didn’t turn around at all.
The samgyeopsal was right in front of me, but I didn’t feel comfortable.
Even seeing the scene in front of my eyes made my heart more disturbed.
Chopsticks picking up a piece of well-cooked pork belly caught my eye. The owner of the chopsticks is Chevalier.
“Come on, Taeyang. Try some of this too.”
Chevalier can be seen holding out the chopsticks holding the pork belly to Golden Sun.
Chevalier, who was sitting close to him, was holding the golden sun with all her heart, like a mother bird taking care of her baby bird.
“uh… … excuse me? Can I eat alone?”
“Don’t do that. I want to drop my hand.”
Golden Sun, who repeatedly declines, and Chevalier, who continues to hold out chopsticks.
This is the scene I saw at the back party last time. But the feeling is different.
Same view, different feeling.
It seemed to Anya that she was talking about the present.
I know no.
Even if he was confident in where Taeyang Geum was sitting, Chevalier would have taken good care of him like he is now… … .
It seems that no matter who sat there, they took care of it. The Rie that Anya knows is that kind of friend.
however… … .
Why is my heart so stuffy?
Why does it feel like someone has a tight grip on your heart?
something is wrong… … .
It felt strange.
No matter how you think about it, this wasn’t it.
This situation is absolutely not what she wanted.
Okay, let’s say it now and ask to change seats. Lee is my friend.
I’m sure you’ll listen to my request.
“excuse me… … .”
“This is true.”
The moment Anya is about to open her mouth.
Taeyang Geum also opened her mouth.
Looking at the slowly opening mouth of the gold sun, Anya thought to herself.
Taeyang feels burdened, so if I sit next to him, don’t go that far, just pick up the ripe ones and put them on a plate. Let’s be content.
“… … Is it only this time?”
Even the sun… … ?
Golden Sun opens her mouth and eats the meat Chevalier picks up.
It felt like something was smashing into Anya’s brain.
It is such an intense shock and stimulation. It was a whirlwind of intense emotions that I felt for the first time.
I was able to calm my mind a little while watching the golden sun chewing the meat carefully.
I’m at a loss as to how this happened.
Anya was confused. Lee is definitely a friend. Golden Sun is also a friend.
It was only natural for friends to be friends with each other.
Obviously the same as usual. It is a daily life that is no different.
Now, at this moment, ‘daily life’ has changed to ‘non-daily life’.
Conflicts continue to arise between the vagueness in his heart and his relationship with his friend Rie.
In addition, when I looked around, Kang Ha-neul was also watching Chevalier with fierce eyes.
strange
It’s weird.
It festers more because you can’t let anyone know what you’re suffering from inside.
Anya was reluctant to see the skinship that happened quietly while Chevalier took care of Taeyang.
In order to organize the situation, I went back in my memory a little, and recognized Rie as a fellow countryman right before.
Anya looked the Chevalier up and down.
Although she is Korean, Anya’s DNA is Western. And Chevalier was a pure Westerner.
Right now at this moment.
I felt like I knew why the word homophobia was coined.
Because Lee also had something similar to her weapon.
Competition between the same people is infinitely fierce.
