33 – Episode 33
Wake up, stand up! You are the pride of Joseon
“Ugh.. Can’t we change this to something else? “How could it have been from before marriage, not from this time?”
A beautiful woman who wakes me up and shakes me awake.
“hehehe, it’s pretty”
“I know, right? And that pretty person is your wife?”
“Uhm… ?”
When I came to my senses and woke up, Seo-ah was looking at me blankly.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Yes, you too.. Hey! Where are you falling again!?”
It was the weekend like that, but I was dragged by Seo-ah and went to her bathroom.
“Haaam… “I’m meeting a lawyer today, so let’s get ready quickly.”
“Who is it that made me late?”
Seo-ah lightly hit my back and changed her clothes.
“Are you wearing that outfit today?”
I bought it for Seo, and she took out her clothes that were hidden deep inside my room and put them on.
“Yes, it was the clothes I prepared for the meeting, but I didn’t have any other clean clothes other than these.”
I guess I’ll have to buy her more clothes later.
“Anyway, okay, let’s go meet him first.”
Seo-ah and I left home and took the bus.
“How far is it?”
“Um… I have to go downtown first, so I’m going to the subway station.”
“Yeah, okay”
So, holding Seo-ah and her hand, I set out on the road.
[The train is coming in..]
“Oh it’s coming”
I was taking Seo-ah to the subway and heading to the nearby city.
“…Your mother and father don’t know, right?”
“Is that so?”
“But… aren’t they all acquaintances of your father?”
“It’s okay, I said you’d never tell me.”
“…”
“Haam”
Perhaps because it was morning, the subway was a little quiet. She was a little sleepy when she woke up in the morning, but sitting like this again made her feel sleepy.
“Are you tired? “Would you like to lean in a little?”
“Yes.. Thank you~”
She was leaning like that for a while.
“Jihoon, we’re here”
“Huh? Ah, that’s right, let’s get off.”
Holding Seo-ah’s hand, we got off at the station in Seoul, and when we came out, there were countless tall buildings lined up.
“Are we supposed to meet here?”
“Yes, they originally had an office in Seoul, but they said they would come here.”
“Ah.. It’s okay, but they said we’d come find it.”
“I was going to do that too, but the lawyer said he would come to our direction first.”
When I said that, she nodded.
“Okay, then what I have to say is the fact that I was harmed, the assault, the current whereabouts of my family, and the assets I owe, right?”
“Yes, it’s hard for me to elaborate on that part, so you have to tell me.”
It was a painful memory for Seo-ah, but it was necessary to eliminate her future pain.
“If it’s really hard to say, it’s okay not to say it.”
Last time, there were judges and prosecutors among my business cards, so maybe something will work out?
“No, I’ll try to be brave too.. Well, even if that’s not the case, as long as you’re by my side, I’m not afraid.”
“I understand. You have to hold her hand.”
“…Isn’t that what it is?!”
After feeling a little relieved, we arrived at the agreed upon location, a restaurant.
The restaurant looked quite luxurious.
“Have you made a reservation?”
“Ah.. Yes, the reservation is for Kim Se-hee.. No, I made a reservation.”
“Ah, I will guide you”
We were guided by the staff and entered the innermost room.
“Oh, it’s you guys? Nice to meet you”
There was a middle-aged woman who looked slightly younger.
“Ah.. Hello. My name is Lee Ji-hoon and I am contacting you this time.”
“This is Yoon Seo-ah. Please take care of me.”
“Ey, take it easy”
The lawyer waved his hand and told me to sit down.
“Okay, so I received the content I requested this time in advance. Is that friend’s name Seo-ah?”
“…Yes”
“It’s okay. Everyone wants to hide, is scared, and wants to run away.”
The lawyer kindly approached me and told me
“But such problems cannot be solved by stepping forward alone. Only by asking for help from those around you and actively shouting, ‘Please help me~’ will the government step in.”
“Well, there are many cases where he doesn’t step forward, but at least Seo-ah seems to have a reliable ally, right?”
The lawyer looked at me and said, and Seo Ah nodded her head.
“hehehe, that looks good. Then, let’s get started and ask you a few questions. If you don’t change anything, you don’t have to answer because this lawyer will take care of the rest.”
She, who knew so, showed me what had happened, the evidence, and the scars that remained.
To be honest, I tried to get angry when I saw her scar, but Seo-ah calmed me down.
“Hmm.. There is more solid and accurate evidence than I thought.”
“Then.. Seo-ah”
“Yes, you will likely be sentenced to loss of parental rights quite quickly.”
“Really?”
“Then and..”
After that, the lawyer informed Seo-ah about various important things about her, and she learned her statements and the appropriate language for them when she later went to court.
“I think this will be enough. There are some things I need to work on first, so let’s meet again.”
“Yes, I understand. Thank you”
“No, you should eat quickly too. You weren’t able to eat properly earlier because you were writing in her notebook.”
“Ah.. It’s okay”
“Hey, this lady knows everything, she’s hungry, right?”
At that time, Seo-ah’s stomach growled in response to the lawyer’s question.
“Oh”
“Hoho! “Look, eat it quickly.”
So we were treated to a sumptuous meal by the lawyer.
“Jihoon, wait a minute..”
Seo Ah left her position for a moment, leaving only me and her lawyer.
“Thank you so much”
And I took this opportunity to say thank you.
“No, I just thought I would use this opportunity to do some good deeds.”
“No, Seo-ah… she was having a hard time and couldn’t do it on her own, so she asked for help, and the lawyer helped her.”
“You’re still a high school student, but you’re dignified.”
“Is that so?”
“Then”
“Oh, now that I think about it… the cost of consulting or hiring a lawyer is…”
I tried to calculate Seo-ah by taking advantage of her absence.
“Huh? “It’s okay if you don’t have a child.. No, she’s a child. What’s the point of having money?”
“But..”
“It’s okay, rather than spending it, save it for later.”
“…Thank you”
Grumbling
“What were you talking about?”
“No, I didn’t say anything”
The conversation between me and the lawyer ended when Seo-ah came in.
“So where did you meet?”
The talk between the lawyer and Seo-ah has begun.
“Jihoon saved me while I was walking down the street.”
“Save me?”
“Yes, those gangsters tried to take me away.”
“Oh my!?”
A lawyer who likes you like an ordinary woman watching a scene from a drama.
“So… we sent letters and talked to each other…”
“Yes! So?”
“At that time, Jihoon confessed after the festival”
“Kiyaaa!! Jihoon, you are bolder than you look!?”
I don’t know how to react here, but I nodded.
“Wow, so much time has already passed”
The lawyer looked at his watch and looked like he was in a hurry.
“Oh, sorry, did I talk too long?”
“No, the one who promised will understand anyway.”
“Yes?”
“No, that was your parents’ next plan.”
???
“Uh!!”
“Ah, did I tell you not to tell me?”
“Jihoon! They said you wouldn’t know!! “You said you wouldn’t know!?!”
“I..I thought so too..”

Seo-ah was embarrassed and shook me, and I was also embarrassed.
“I don’t think you need to worry, but go home quickly.”
“…”
So we talked about all kinds of things on the way home.
“I guess it’s over now, right? “I guess your father will say, ‘Wouldn’t you like to remain friends now?’
“Oh, I guess it’s not that bad.”
“Or… what if I give you money and tell you never to see you again!?”
“What kind of drama is this?”
“But… I’m worried… I’m afraid I’ll fall out with you again.”
“Don’t worry, you are the person and wife I love more than anyone else, understand?”
“Yes..”
“If things don’t work out, I’ll run away from home.”
“…”
“Or rather, it could work?”
So I went home, longing for a way to do something with Seo-ah.
“You’re calling..?”
“Yes..”
When we got home, we tried to make a phone call for a final check.
“Jihoon… I’m nervous”
“I..I’m nervous too”
“I can’t give up on you anymore. You have to talk to your parents and change me.”
“Okay”
Tourururu
“Oh son, how are you doing?”
“Yes, Mom”
I tried to continue calmly while listening to her mother’s voice, but
“So where is my son’s girlfriend?”
“…”
“I am here, mother”
“Oh my, you were right next to me? “How is my house comfortable?”
“…Uh… That seems… Comfortable.”
“Then you’re lucky, Jihoon. I’ll change your dad.”
A little later, she heard her father’s voice.
“Oh, you gave my son a big hit.”
“…”
“Do you like Seo-ah that much?”
“Yes”
I didn’t worry even once about my dad’s questions.
“I see… I understand. I’ll let Dad help me with this.”
“Is that really true!?”
Seoah reacted before me
“Oh, is it Seo-ah? “Thank you for taking such good care of my son.”
“Oh, no, father, I really want to thank you.”
“No, let’s meet together tomorrow. Of course, you know the purpose of meeting, right?”
“Sure.. Of course!”
After a storm passed like that,
“Phew.. I lived.”
“That’s right.. Anyway, if I had known I would get caught, I should have asked from the beginning.”
When I said that, she shook her head.
“No, I did it because I was scared back then. Now… I really have to meet my parents.”
Seo-ah, who was in such a tense state, lived without any disturbance until tomorrow.
