“Huh…”

Despite the shocking words, Kyung-hee still seemed to be unconscious.

It was certain that he would not be able to answer any questions now.

Until then, he had been paying attention to himself, but he no longer understood what he was saying and was just laughing.

I don’t think I’ll have time to ask a more detailed question, so I asked while holding a full glass in my hand.

“It’s Kyunghee.”

“yes?”

“I was serving alcohol, did you learn that?”

“Because if you don’t, it’s okay.”

“Is that right?”

“Yeah. Every time my father called to have a drink, I waited on him.”

“aha……”

Kyung-hee drank the full glass of wine for a long time and shivered.

It seemed that he was desperately trying to sit still, but he seemed to be having a hard time.

Well, after drinking so much, it must be a strange thing to properly control your body.

I thought she might fall over, so I picked up Kyung-hee, who was tilting her head, and put her on my lap.

He also seemed to be well drunk. If you’ve seen Kyunghee so far, you should have shuddered from the moment you hugged her, but she was acting cute.

As if she had always wanted to try it when drinking, Kyunghee giggled and rubbed her cheek against my lap.

“Are you getting drunk?”

“Yeah. But, I can’t do it at home.”

“why?”

“If you stretch out drunk, you’re weak.”

“yes?”

“Yeah! That’s why I always stood upright on my knees.”

“now?”

“I’m not drunk!”

Kyung-hee hurriedly got up, but fell down unable to control herself.

Fortunately, I was able to catch him before he fell completely.

I thought as I looked at Kyunghee lying on her knees with a moan.

I guess it was the influence of my parents. fortunately it was

It would be enough to gradually tell her that the world is different from what Kyung-hee knows.

If that happens, Kyunghee will take care of it later.

If only you knew that the world your parents forced you to is different from reality.

The first blow is hard, but Kyung-hee will break the world enough and face the reality.

However, I was also anxious. It was because of Kyung Hee’s uniqueness.

Today’s Kyung Hee is a broken pottery.

The pieces are shattered, to the point where I don’t even think about fixing them.

There is no choice but to melt these things down and create new ones, or make new ones out of the pieces.

Of course, I had an idea to help.

Until Kyung-Hee melts the pieces down and molds them into something new, or makes something new out of them.

However, in the process, I shouldn’t be everything to Kyunghee.

If that happens, Kyunghee will become obsessed with me.

I want Kyung Hee to live her life without minding me.

They want to overcome the wounds their parents gave them and move forward without incident.

It’s not a life that obsesses over me and tries to stick by my side somehow while watching me.

However, that was too far away, so I didn’t think I needed to think about it now.

First of all, I asked Kyung-hee, who was looking at me with her ears perked up, while stroking her head.

“How much do you drink?”

“I don’t know! I probably drank three times as much today.”

“…What? But why did you keep taking it?”

“Wasn’t he going to hit me? I knew he would hit me if I couldn’t drink. I desperately drank everything. So praise me.”

Kyunghee smiled with a puzzled face.

I wanted to say no, but the words didn’t come out because I was dumbfounded.

“I thought you would say that if you can’t drink, you ruin the mood.”

“no.”

“Um, if you don’t wait, aren’t adults going to beat you for staying still when you’re drinking?”

“No, it’s Kyunghee.”

“Wow, I’m drinking, but I don’t even listen to nagging and it doesn’t fit…?”

“Yes. In my house it is. No, in general it is.”

“It’s amazing….. Then you don’t get scolded for coming late when you eat?”

“Of course.”

“Aha… haaam…”

Kyunghee yawned.

It was understandable because he drank several times the amount of alcohol he had drunk.

Leaving behind Kyung-hee, who jumped up to go to the bathroom for a while, I organized the drinking party.

how long has it been like that

While I was washing the dishes, Kyunghee looked around with a worried face.

“Ugh…”

“why?”

“You, will you sleep there…?”

“Well?”

Kyunghee pointed to the floor and asked.

It seemed like he was asking after seeing the pillows and clothes I laid out to sleep there.

Of course, I intended to make Kyung-hee sleep on the bed and I would sleep on the floor.

So I nodded my head in the affirmative and finished washing the dishes when Kyung-hee grabbed my collar and asked one more time.

“I’m sleeping in a bed…?”

“Go to bed and sleep.”

“But, am I a guest…?”

“Originally, we give out good things to our guests. We sleep there.”

“Really…? Is it okay? Sleeping there…?”

“ha.”

Feeling like this would happen over and over again, he sighed and hugged Kyunghee.

Kyunghee, who was held in the princess hug position, was embarrassed and hugged my neck..

It was cute to see a child who would normally hold his breath and close his eyes.

And apart from that, I was a bit angry.

How the hell did he treat his children, and he would be plagued by delusions of persecution?

I wanted to beat him up badly, but I forced myself to hold it in and smiled at Kyung-hee.

“Sleep…?”

“Yes. Come on.”

“you….?”

“I’ll sleep on the floor.”

“yes…..”

After putting Kyung-hee on the bed, I went outside, and Kyung-hee only slightly stood up to greet me.

Almost as soon as I closed the door, I heard a slap, and I seemed to have passed out.

I opened the door again, looked inside, and stretched out when I saw Kyung-hee sleeping.

I was a little too tired. No, I was very tired.

Kyung-hee seemed to be sleeping, so I thought I might as well.

Originally, I would do something more and sleep, but now I’m tired.

I slowly threw a pillow on the floor and lay down on it.

I knew it wouldn’t be cold anyway, even if I didn’t have a blanket or something like that.

I drank less than Kyunghee, but it was only natural that I drank a lot too.

And as soon as I lay down, I fell asleep.

how long has it been

Seeing the sunlight coming through the window made me feel like I was sleeping.

“Ugggggg…”

After stretching lightly, I turned on my phone.

Looking at the time of 10:00 AM on the screen, it didn’t seem like I slept that late.

First of all, I got up to drink water, but something was strange.

“…Kyung-hee?”

Kyeong-hee was trembling on her stomach, wearing only her underwear.

And by the bedside was a baseball bat that had been left in the master bedroom in case of emergency.

My mind went blank for a moment.

“Lord… kill me…”

“No, what is this…”

After getting down on one knee, he raised Kyung-hee up.

Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was not in a normal state to judge something.

The ears that had been up until yesterday were drooping.

Her hair, which had been fluffy, had also become frizzy.

And if you look at your eyes or mouth, what is it like to be forced to smile?

It was like a murderer who confessed to killing people.

I couldn’t understand it when I saw Kyung-hee trembling as if she had committed such a crime.

Kyunghee did nothing wrong yesterday.

I was going to put away at least this baseball bat, but as soon as I grabbed the handle, Kyunghee held her breath.

It wasn’t even normal.

I thought I was going to hit it with a baseball bat when I saw my hands go white and then hold my breath and tremble.

And seeing as it stayed that way, it seemed pretty sure it would hit at least one.

It seems like you’re nervous knowing you’ll be hit if you relax.

I had no idea what the hell to say.

He interprets whatever he says as a sign that he intends to hit him.

It was to the point where I thought that it would be a better choice for me to violate Kyung-hee now.

But it didn’t.

A conversation was needed between the two of us now.

Since we are only misunderstanding each other, we are sincere enough to shake off that misunderstanding.

So, with a hard expression on his face and a hard voice, he put the bat away.

“I’m not going to tell you right now, but I will have to tell you the reason why you acted this way.”

“……………..”

“I don’t intend to hit you. And it must be cold.”

“Mi-sorry…!”

Kyeong-hee finally opened one eye and fell while standing up.

I fell quite hard and it hurt, but I didn’t seem to mind the pain.

“Put on clothes too. Look, so.”

“Ugh, yes! Sorry!”

Gyung-hee, wearing a hoodie and pants, hurriedly tucked into a corner and tugged at her ears.

I was so happy that I didn’t get hit and went over, so I raised my ears.

Seeing that, what should I say?

I just woke up and I’m tired. Not physically tired, but mentally.

In any case, it was impossible not to give food at all, and seeing Kyung-hee’s pale face, I guessed it roughly.

It seemed like it had been like that ever since I woke up.

“How many hours have you been lying down?”

“Uh… uh… that…”

“Tell me quickly.”

“Three…three hours to…four hours…”

“I am, indeed.”

“Echwi!”

Seeing her finally coughing, I felt like I was going to get really tired.

I threw the blanket on the bed to Kyung-hee, who was holding her breath and closing her eyes knowing that she would get hit, and then headed to the kitchen.

It was cute to see her calmly wrapped in a blanket and pricked up her ears, but she didn’t show off.

Come to think of it, maybe it was because I drank, and my head hurt a little.

And hot and spicy food to give to Kyung-hee, who has been lying face down for hours…

“I’m going to make some pasta.”

I thought it would be nice to make rosé pasta in moderation.

Add cheese, and spicy jalapeno.

I thought I could cut up the bacon and put it in there.

I made a lot of it, so I wanted to eat it full.

I also thought that if my stomach was full, I would be able to afford it.

So I took out a pot of the right size and poured water into it.

Then I put it on the stove, opened the valve, and turned on the light.

“Do you like pasta?”

“Yeah… Joe, I like you.”

“I’m glad you eat well.”

“right…?”

Kyunghee poked her head through the blanket and smiled.

It seemed like he wanted to throw the blanket away right now, but he couldn’t.

And to see her desperately covering her mouth and trembling every time she tried to cough…

It was cute.

No, really.

I know that family affairs are unhappy, but with that appearance, it’s just cute.

But that wasn’t the case. I am not a bystander, I am a person who actively reached out.

Instead of this kind of cute sentiment, you should look at Kyung-hee more essentially and extend your hand.

If you don’t do that, you become a breeder who simply breeds Kyung-hee.

Thinking like that made me feel like I had become a bit of a bad person.

“ah.”

Perhaps because I was thinking about something else, time had passed considerably.

I hurriedly looked at my phone and took out the noodles just in time, then drained the water and put it somewhere else.

Then, after taking out a wide frying pan, I put things like bacon, green onion, and garlic that I had cut to use the other day and stir-fried them.

How long had passed, before the noodles got too cold, I poured the rosé sauce into a frying pan and boiled it a little.

Then, add noodles and jalapenos, boil them, and sprinkle cheese on top.

“let’s eat.”

“Yes.”

This time, I made a generous amount so that Kyunghee wouldn’t eat less.

It’s a bit large for two people, based on the amount I usually eat.

Kyung-hee opened the table with an uneasy expression and put down the chopsticks.

When I put a bowl full of noodles with tongs, the anxious expression turned pale.

I thought I would be even more anxious if I paid attention to each one of them anyway, so I ate the pasta with chopsticks pretending not to know.

It was moderately spicy, but it was good to say that the melted cheese was delicious.

Kyung-Hee took a pair of chopsticks with trembling hands and carefully ate them, then closed her eyes tightly and waited.

Then, after looking around as if he was surprised that nothing had happened, he carefully started eating the pasta.

The person himself didn’t seem to know it, but at some point, Kyung-hee’s ears went up and his hair was getting frizzy.

It was a bit too cute.
