1. The Man’s Confession

“I don’t know if I’m moving too quickly.”

Lee Ye-sook, who was drinking coffee with Baek Jae-geon in the cool breeze on the cafe’s terrace, laughed at her age.

A Java Chip Frappuccino was placed in front of her, and a caramel latte was placed in front of Jaegeon Baek.


“Are you worried?”

“Ugh, not at all.”

The two had just finished most of their wedding preparations.

I decided on the studio where the photo shoot will take place, the makeup, and the dress to wear at the wedding.

Hoyoung prepared the newlywed house as a wedding gift.

I tried to dry it out, but I had no choice but to use it because it is money I don’t usually use, so I can’t help it.

Ho-young said that she could not interfere with her newlywed life and that she would become independent on this occasion barely stopped.

And the honeymoon was decided to Bora Bora Island and made a reservation.

The wedding date has been pushed back a month now as the hanbok was matched and the wedding venue was decided.

Compared to other newlyweds, the progress was very fast, but there was no anxiety.

Now all that was left was to send a wedding invitation to those around him and do a final inspection.

If there’s one thing I’m worried about though…

“What will our parents do?”

Lee Ye-sook’s parents died when Lee Ye-sook just came out, and she has no siblings.

It seems that Baek Jae-geun has not brought up his parents’ story so far, so he also lost his parents early.

That was Lee Ye-sook’s idea.

Neither of them had anyone to sit in their parents’ seat, which was prepared separately in the wedding hall.

“Jaegun said that he has a brother, so he thinks the older brother and his wife should sit down… but what should I do?”

Ye-sook Lee, if she doesn’t like it, was going to ask her senior couple, who was almost her sister, who helped her a lot when she got a job at the company she currently works for.

“……”

“Mr. Jaegun?”

At Lee Ye-sook’s words, Baek Jae-gun bit her mouth.

A secret that she had not told Lee Ye-sook until now was suppressing his heart.

But …, but it was something she could no longer keep a secret since she came all the way here.

“…Yesuk-san, there is something I must say to Ye-sook-san.”

“What are you talking about so you’re so fussy?”

“Actually, my father is here.”

“……Yes?”

At Baek Jae-geon’s words, Ye-sook Lee put on a blank expression.

“Hey, what does that mean?”

“Only my mother passed away a little earlier… Father is still alive.”

“……”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you until now…”

Baek Jae-gun told Lee Ye-sook that she had never been able to tell her about her father.

She listened to Baek Jae-geon’s story with a dark expression as if she had committed a sin, and Lee Ye-sook silently listened to it.

“… now I don’t know what to do.”I had no idea how to get my father’s apology or how to get my relationship back with him.

He was afraid of what his father would think of him.

So he hadn’t told Lee Ye-sook until now.

Because she didn’t want to put her burden on her for nothing.

Because she didn’t want her to hate her.

But now I can’t hide it.

Baek Jae-geon looked up at Lee Ye-sook, who was sitting opposite her, raising her head, who had been bowing down.

She shrugged. Perhaps she was angry. She was holding her cup of Java Chip Frappuccino in her hands and grimacing her face.

His gaze turned towards the table and did not make eye contact with Baek Jae-gun.

A hundred rebuilds would eventually come, he thought, and it was coming.

“I’m angry?”

“Yeah, I’m mad.”

With Lee Ye-sook’s firm voice, Baek Jae-geon’s eyes were tightly closed on her right hand, which was lifted up.

He had nothing to say even if he was slapped on the cheek, since he had been hiding this important fact until now.

But her right hand didn’t go to Baek Jae-gun, and her hair was tucked behind her ear.

“But since I told you first, I’ll forgive you this time. There’s no next time.”

“Mr. Ye-sook…”

When Baek Jae-geon burst into tears at Lee Ye-sook’s words, she smiled a little helplessly.

She regretted hiding it from herself, but it wasn’t that she didn’t understand.

She mustered up the courage and agreed to forgive her just this one time, since she had already told her.

Ye-sook Lee reached out her hands and gently grabbed Baek Jae-geon’s hand and stroked it.

“What do you want to do, Mr. Jaegun?”

“Yes……?”

“You took the courage to tell me this. What do you want to do with your father?”

“……”

“If you don’t have the courage to go alone, I’ll fill in the gaps. If you feel like that at any time, I’ll go with you. It’s a family now, right?”

“Mr. Ye-sook…”

At Lee Ye-sook’s words, Baek Jae-geon continued to cry on the spot for a while.

People around me looked at me, but it didn’t matter.

* * *

“There was a thing called -. Jae-gun asked Ho-young to talk to you too.”

“I see…….”

At Lee Ye-sook’s words, Ho-young pondered inwardly.

‘Should I tell you that…?’

Previously, Baek Yun-taek had visited his house, and Ho-young had not told it to Baek Jae-gun and Lee Ye-sook.

You would be right that I missed the time to speak.

But as she listened to the story, she thought it would be better to tell her now.

“Mom, there’s something I didn’t tell you actually.”

“Huh? What?”

“Grandpa, that is, your father, came to our house a while ago.”

Ho-young told Lee Ye-sook what she had done before.

* * *

“Come on, our Sammy can do it!”

“Wow!”

“Don’t be afraid, sweetheart!”

“Myeo……, Myuu……”

Doban looked at the scene in front of him and asked Hoya a question.

“…what are you doing now?”

Hoya, who was sitting behind the grass, with only his face out, and Badu, who was sitting on his head and waving his paws in the air.

And in front of the bush where they hid, Sammy was staring at an elk wearing a crown with her two tails raised.

The monster’s name is Hwagorani, and there are relatively low-level monsters in the eastern continent, and Hwagorani is one of them.

When Dovan came back from a brief logout due to work, it was now.

“Ah, Doban. Doban, come over here and hide!”

“Is that hidden?”

“Anyway, hurry up!”

At Hoya’s words, Doban went to his side and squatted down.

“This is an important moment.”

“An important moment?”

……what?

Dovan thought to himself.

It was just that the baby fox and the elk were staring at each other.

Miho, who read Doban’s eyes as if he didn’t know what the important moment was, shouted at him.

“Hey, did you just think to yourself that it was boring?”

“No, not so far…”

“My baby’s first fight! It’s also an important moment that will determine victory or defeat! What’s so trivial!”

Miho jumped up while saying that, and the Hwagorani, who was facing Sammy, was startled and fled from the spot with all his might.

“Ah… he ran away.”

“Wow…”

[Status: I am saying that this is all Miho’s fault. I’m slowly taking steps to get stronger.]

“Ugh… it’s my negligence.”

“👌👌👌👌….”

As Hwagorani ran away, Sammy stuttered and tumbled into Hoya’s bag.



“Ah, ah, ah, baby. I’m sorry for this mother!”

Miho followed him and went into Hoya’s bag.

Miho’s voice making excuses to Sammy and Sammy’s snoring came from inside the bag.

“I can’t even try this until Sammy feels better.”

“What did you just do?”

“Sammy’s training. Now let’s move slowly.”

Hoya responded to Doban’s words and started walking with him again.

The mountain they are walking on right now is only weak monsters like Hwagorani.

The two of them were passing the monsters for a quick move to the next town if possible because it wasn’t a great experience.

However, it is weak for Hoya and Doban, and the level of the monsters is back and forth between 200 and so, so it will not be weak from the standpoint of normal NPCs.

It was the same for Sammy.

The Hwagorani just before was also in a state where Hoya and Miho worked hard to lower their stats and lower their HP.

“Hey, didn’t you hear something?””sound?”

Then Miho, who had been in her bag, stuck out her head.

“Hmm…, I didn’t hear it wrong, I can hear some screaming. It’s over there.”

Hoya and Dovan couldn’t hear anything.

However, since Miho was pointing in a direction with his front paws, he first walked towards that direction.

After walking for a while, Hoya and Doban also began to hear sounds.

“Who, who…! Someone please save me!”

Hoya and Doban quickly ran towards that direction at the sound of harsh breathing and the cry of the monster.

Then I saw a girl trembling with her back against the tree, and several Hwagorani surrounded by the girl.

Hoya and Doban ran without hesitation and swung their weapons at Hwagorani.

Due to the high level difference, the Hwagoranis could not withstand the attack of the two.

Miho in Hoya’s bag didn’t even need to help.

“it’s okay?”

“Yes, yes… Go, thank you… Black.”

Perhaps the tension was relieved, the girl sat down on the floor and began to cry a little.

After a while, the girl who stopped crying, picked up the basket she had dropped on the floor and greeted her.

“Thank you so much for saving me! My name is Kuroe.”

“I was just doing what I was supposed to. My name is Hoya.”

“Dovan.”

“Wow!”

“He’s Badu. By the way, why are you alone in the mountains like this?”

Kuroe hesitated to answer Hoya’s question.

“That’s …, her mother was very sick, so she went up the mountain in front of the village to get the herb, and it went too deep …”

“Is there a village nearby?!”

As Hoya responded greatly to Kuroe’s words, she nodded her head.

“Yes, there is our village nearby.”

Hoya smiled brightly at her words.

After leaving the village of Handong, he went off the road to catch monsters and moved, but the village had not been seen for several days.

Her words came to Hoya like an oasis in the desert.

“Can you guide me to the village? I’ve been wandering in the mountains for days.”

“Yes, that’s right! I want to repay the favor, so I’ll guide you.”

Kuroe, who affirmed Hoya’s words, picked up all the herbs that had spilled out of her basket as she fell, and started walking in front of her.

On the way to the village, Kuroe talked to Hoya and Doban.

“Where are your brothers from?”

“I’m from Handong Village.”

It is originally from the Western Continent, but it is not a lie because the village it was in was Handong.

Kuroe reacted greatly to Hoya’s answer.

“You’re from a nice town! Oh, but I like our town a lot more for people to bond with each other! …Although the size is a little small. Hehe.”

Kuroe, who had been scratching her head with her smile, pointed in front of her.

“Jeoeogi is our village.”

At the end of the direction Kuroe was pointing, a wooden fence appeared.

The houses made of boards and mud reminded me of an unknown village I had visited for the first time in the eastern continent.

In terms of condition, the village near the underground tunnel was in slightly better condition.
