31 – Episode 31
“I’ve been there”
When I returned home after a long date with Seo-ah, my parents welcomed me.
“Are you here? “Did you have a good time with Seo-ah?”
“Yes”
My parents still don’t know that Seo-ah is my girlfriend. Of course, there were some things she couldn’t tell me because she was busy, but it was because of Seo-ah’s story about her family situation.
“I came back from going out, so wash up.”
“Okay mom, that’s not true.”
When Seo-ah and I went to meet my parents for the first time, her parents were momentarily surprised to hear her story.
No matter how different each person’s environment is and that must be understood, being human is contradictory, so at first, my parents secretly asked me about it.
“Are you sure they came after you and our property?”
Of course, that was the first time I had a fight with my parents.
At that time, Seo-ah had debt for her student loans and to buy her house.
She knows that when she looks objectively she just knows that this guy is pretty from the first time she sees her
However, if such a person comes to me and says that he likes me and clings to me, she may be suspicious at least once.
But the case of Seo-ah and I was completely different, and after that, our relationship was recognized and we were able to continue it until Seo-ah and her marriage.
“Come out and eat~”
“Yes”
While thinking about old times while taking a shower, I sat down and started eating.
“With the U.S. Interest rate market fluctuating, discussions on raising the national base interest rate…”
Dad was watching news about the economy while eating.
“Son, was today’s date fun?”
“Yes, of course”
“…No, it’s just a short date.”
While I was answering what my dad said, I thought about the question again and asked it back.
“What are you talking about? We go out to talk about Seo-ah every day, and last time we came home and studied together.”
…
“Hey honey, please keep my secret.”
She said with a smile that her mother knew too.
“…Hmm, anyway, I’m glad to see that you seem sincere and smart.”
After that, my father talked about various things, but the conclusion was this.
“The best thing is to meet someone like your mother.”
“Hoho”
I came into the room with eyes that told me I couldn’t stop my father.
I’m lying down in a very comfortable room right now, but Seo-ah will probably sleep in that small house.
I was heartbroken just thinking about this, but she knew that she was doing it on her own.
“Haa…”
Seo-ah has a stubbornness in not accepting help from others, so I had many embarrassing moments when I was dating.
From not wanting to receive gifts to even going on trips together, we calculate everything individually.
Maybe that’s why I tried to be nice to Seo-ah.
You can say she’s gotten better now, but seeing as she was very sorry when she took my money earlier, that stubbornness still remains.
But she knows that she is my wife and she has a way to help me since then
Since she is not a hyper-vigilant child, she can receive my help more actively.
That’s why I met people around my dad in advance just in case.
“Okay, see you then”
I heard from Seok-ho that he had set up a pension by the sea. A friend of Seok-ho’s parents ran it and said we could go there on our own.
“Haaam…”
Computer games were fun to play in the past, but not so much fun now.
Or is it because I play games from the future?
Now that I think about it, there isn’t much left.
Seo-ah said that she has been working at that soup restaurant since yesterday and that she gets paid little by little.
He said business was going well and the income was decent.
I was looking forward to the next day with some excitement.
If Seo-ah hadn’t come crying that rainy day, she would have continued to look forward to it.
“Can you get along alone?”
“Of course, I’m a high school student so this is okay?”
“Hmm..”
Mom and Dad were worried about me
I was the only son in the family, and I could be said to have grown up very nobly.
I was the only male on both my father’s and mother’s sides, and because of that, both sides loved me very much.
“If you’re hungry, call me and my mom will deliver it to you.”
“No, I can order it?”
I have money and a cell phone, so why can’t I do it?
“Okay, I have frozen food in the house, so I heat it up and eat it.”
“Yes”
After my parents left, I went straight to bed.
“Kiyathou”
Today is Friday. In 3 days, I will go on a trip with my friends.
“I guess Seo-ah is pretty too, right?”
She would be pretty even if she didn’t do anything, but I felt better just thinking about it because I felt like I could see her in a swimsuit or something else.
After the vacation is over, school life begins again, but I will still be able to see Seo-ah.
If you’re lucky, you’ll be in the same class as Seo-ah in third grade.
Then I went to college and got married.
“Well, you will be happy in the future, right?”
Me too, Seo-ah too
I fell asleep with that thought in mind.
Quagga River
Shoot aaa
“Uhmmm..”
When I woke up, it was raining heavily.
“Wow.. What a hit”
Now that I think about it, I heard that the typhoon is heading north.
“Wow, that’s really bad. I hope Seo-ah will be okay.”
As I was worried about Seo-ah’s house, I started watching the news on her cell phone.
There were news reports that the houses were submerged due to water falling, or that the streets were completely flooded with water.
Fortunately, the rain did not pour down like it did in the future, so only her feet were submerged, and there were no casualties.
“Let’s go sometime”
I was curious about how Seo-ah was doing and I was worried about her, so I washed up and came out.
“I took her purse and umbrella”
I put on my raincoat, took my umbrella, and left the house.
Shoot!
Toad duduk
“Wow, that’s amazing”
Perhaps because it was rainy and windy, there were only a few people out and about.
I took her heavy steps and tried to walk near Seo-ah’s house.
“Huh..Hmm”
?
“Huh..Huh Jihoon”
“Seo?”
I finally discovered a woman sitting near my house, and it was Seo-ah.
“..Is it Jihoon?”
“Stand.. Stand. What’s going on?”
She was sitting on her bench wearing the strangely ill-fitting clothes she used to wear.
“Hmm… “I hate everything now, I really hate that house!!”
And then Seo-ah was held by me
“Seoya.. Let’s go home first.”

“Ugh..”
Seo-ah followed me for a while, crying, and I tilted the umbrella further towards Seo-ah.
“It’s going to be cold, so let’s take a shower first.”
“Yes..”
Seo Ah carefully enters her house and takes off her clothes..
“Okay.. I’ll go inside for a moment.”
Seo Ah just nodded her head and heard the sound of water coming out.
I gave Seo-ah some clothes she could wear and waited.
“Thank you..”
When Seo Ah came out, she came out wearing her short sleeves and shorts that I wore.
“No… More than that, can you tell me what happened?”
After hearing her words, she came to me and hugged me.
“I was so scared… “What should I do now, Jihoon?”
She told me what had happened since yesterday.
She was going to the soup restaurant she always went to, but her mother suddenly appeared and tried to take Seo-ah away.
Seo-ah says she tried to refuse but she was persistent along the day.
She said she later resisted several times and ran away.
She said that when she entered the house, her luggage was scattered all over the place and her house was a mess, as if someone had robbed it.
Afterwards, she said that Seo-ah was calm and tidying up, when suddenly strange people came in and she started rummaging through her things in the house.
She said that after that she asked for the whereabouts of her parents or if they had any money, and I found out that those people were there to pay off a debt.
Seo-ah found out that their parents had handed over the light to them and ran away at night.
She said, but she herself had no money and she was almost sold to those people.
I couldn’t hold back my anger when I heard that.
I knew that Seo-ah’s parents were trash, but I never thought they would abandon their child and run away at night.
Seo-ah said that after that, she was hiding from people like gangsters and then she ran here.
“The past has changed”
“Change?”
“Uh, originally, gangsters or debtors never came. When I was in college, I immediately cut off my family ties and took measures to prevent them from being traced.”
“But such people have never come before.”
I heard that and thought about it carefully.
Perhaps some futures have changed as we return.
“I ran away for now… And I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry..”
“Even though I knew you were having a hard time.. I stayed quiet. If I knew it would be like this..”
“It’s not because of my stubbornness.. I was fine until college, so I thought it would be okay..”
We felt sorry for each other and thought about the future.
“You probably won’t find it here. If you don’t follow the traces, this place has absolutely nothing to do with it.”
Our house is a pretty nice house. Safety is guaranteed from the very beginning, from swiping your card key into the elevator.
“Yes, just like you said, that will be fine.. I brought this too.”
Seo Ah took out her card key from inside her clothes.
I nodded.
“Jihoon.. I’m sorry to say this, but please help me.. After going through that, I started to wonder if I could really be by your side.”
I quietly listened to Seo-ah.
“That’s why I sat on that bench because I saw you for the last time… I also… So that I don’t hurt you too… I just… Tried to run away… hahahaha.. But… I couldn’t move.. I just… Just wanted to be next to you.. But… But I’m like this… Why.. Really, why… Only to me…”
I didn’t listen anymore and hugged Seo-ah.
“It’s okay.. Everything is okay. I’ll solve it now. I’m resting now.”
“Sigh.. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.. I always wanted to be proudly by your side.. I’m really sorry…”
I comforted Seo-ah and made a phone call.
“Hello..”
