69. Baek Hyeon-seo’s pain

“My mother is looking for you.”

Baek Hyeon-seo Unlike her mother’s assistant, Lee Min-hwan, she spoke to Baek Hyeon-seo in a kind voice.

“Da… You? Su… Aren’t you the assistant secretary?”

Baek Hyeon-seo looked at Lee Min-hwan with a surprised expression, and with an expression of understanding her reaction, he looked at Baek Hyeon-seo and talked.

“That’s right.”

– Blame

Baek Hyeon-seo stepped back from her and she spoke warily.

“Why is my mother looking for me? When did she abandon me before, and why is she looking for me now!”

“My mother never abandoned you. However, the two of us had no choice but to be far apart for a while.”

“Don’t lie! Since you divorced her father when you were little, you never showed your face properly!”

“….”

Lee Min-hwan was silent for a while, then spoke to Baek Hyeon-seo.

“If you follow me for more details, my wife will tell you. Let me tell you in advance, what you are thinking is a misunderstanding.”

-Koo-wook….

Baek Hyun-seo squeezed her hand tightly.

Then we talked quietly.

“What are you talking about… I’ll listen.”

Her mother, who divorced her father and abandoned herself when she was young, was the object of her love and resentment to Baek Hyeon-seo.

She followed Baek Hyeon-seo’s mother very well when she was young.

When Baek Hyeon-seo was young, she would often hang out with her mother and talk about do-ran-do-ran.

“Mom, I will be 7 tomorrow too!”

Won Yeo-jeong looked at Baek Hyeon-seo with a bright smile and talked.

“Our Hyunseo is also becoming an adult now. When he grows up, he will be able to make friends at places like the academy.”

“I… Really?! I can’t wait to meet and play with other people!”

“So what? Do you not like life at home?”

Baek Hyeon-seo shook his head and talked.

“No! Playing at home is so much fun, but I’m curious about people! I am so curious about what kind of people they are and what kind of magic I can learn if I go to the academy!”

When she was young, Baek Joo-seok, president of the Hellmund Academy, was not yet the president. When Baek Joo-seok was just an academy instructor.

When Baek Joo-seok came home from work, he often told Baek Hyeon-seo about the academy. He explained what happened to the students at the academy and what magic they taught.

Baek Hyun-seo was good. He liked his father, who often told stories that could only be found in children’s books.

I liked Baek Hyun-seo. When his father wasn’t around, he liked his mother, who would sit with him and listen calmly. Her mother ran a guild, but she nevertheless split her time as much as possible and spent a long time with Baek Hyeon-seo.

Her happiness seemed to last a lifetime. At that time, Chairman Baek did not have much money or power, but he was busy working and trying to support his family as much as possible, and his mother also tried to spend as much time as possible with Baek Hyeon-seo at home.

However, those daily routines soon collapsed.

One day, she heard her mother shouting.

– Clink-!

“Are you crazy?! What the hell are you doing?”

Her mother shouted and chased her father.

“What are you talking about?”

Baek Joo-seok looked at Won Yeo-jeong with an absurd expression. She said with a laugh.

“The lipstick marks on your clothes, what are you talking about even after seeing this? Where are you going and what kind of bullshit do you get buried with stuff like this!”

-Jjaeguraaang-!

My mother was furious and started destroying everything around her. Baek Joo-seok spoke as if it was absurd.

“I just went to a bar with someone I need to treat for work.”

“Everything… Are you crazy? Are you saying that now?”

“Haa…”

Juseok Baek sighed and spoke.

“I can’t live as a teacher for the rest of my life, can I? I have to go higher and higher now. The person I’m talking to now has quite a bit of power. Fortunately, he likes me. But he said he likes girls too, so he just hangs out. I don’t know if it looks bad now that it was part of the business, but thanks to doing business like this now, the day will come when I will open an academy and become the president. When that time comes, I will be able to live a much richer life than I do now.”

-Truck Truck Truck

Won Yeo-jeong walked to Ju-seok Baek. She and she stood before him.

“You finally understand me? If you understand, please cook it quickly. Because I am hungry.”

-Slap

Won Yeo-jeong slapped Baek Joo-seok on the cheek.

“How can you say it so confidently when you are doing such dirty things? You are the father of a child, and I am your wife.”

Baek Joo-seok touched his cheek and spoke with a laugh.

“So?”

The original journey, she thought she had heard wrong. She had no choice but to do so. She couldn’t have imagined that in this situation she would say something like ‘So?’

“Everything… Are you crazy?!”

“You are crazy. Do you know what I hate the most? You put your hands on my body.”

-F*ck-!

Baek Joo-seok mercilessly punched Won Yeo-jeong in the face.

– Plop

“Do it in moderation. There are limits to what you can see. I’ve explained everything. Are we going to live like this for the rest of our lives? If you want to be able to have everything you want to do, eat, and have, you have to go to a higher position. Is this all for the hyeonseo?”

-Padudeuk

Won Yeo-jeong looked at Baek Joo-seok resentfully and talked.

“It’s for you, not the Seoseo. We’ve been happy enough so far. I’m happy enough that you didn’t try to rise up the ranks while doing these dirty things! Don’t try to cover your disgusting self-interest or what you’re trying to do for the sake of your family!”

“What a bitch!”

-Hwiik

When his father tried to raise his hand to her mother again, Baek Hyeon-seo quickly ran and blocked her mother’s way. And he shouted.

“Ahhhhh… Father ha… Don’t do it… Don’t hit mother…”

-Sniff

Baek Hyeon-seo, who had been watching from behind because she was scared, stood in front of her father with tears in her eyes. Was trying to protect his mother.

“Haa… It’s Seonseo…”

Baek Joo-seok comforted the crying Baek Hyeon-seo by stroking her hair.

“Please go back to your room. I have something to talk to my mother about.”

Baek Hyun-seo shook his head and did not try to get out of the way.

“Don’t hit Mom. Don’t even yell at her dad for her mom.”

-Sniff

Baek Hyun-seo ate his runny nose and cried. However, her presence was not enough to put this situation to rest. Mother was already in a situation where she was angry, and it was difficult to fix their broken trust at once.

Baek Joo-seok lifted Baek Hyeon-seo and put it into the room while talking.

“Hyeon-seo, I’ll call you back when I’m done talking with mom.”

-Kikkik

-Bang-!

The door is closed. Then again came the sound of mother and father fighting.

Young Baek Hyeon-seo did not know. It was hard to clearly recognize what was the cause of the fight now. But one thing is certain: the relationship between mother and father has been strained.

Even after Baek Hyeon-seo entered the room, the two started fighting for a long time.

“I’m getting a divorce.”

“Divorce?”

Won Yeo-jeong, who could not stand it, shouted for a divorce. Baek Joo-suk looked at her with her absurd expression and sneered at her.

“Have you finished talking now? Divorce? Are you crazy?”

“I said everything. I can’t have a dirty person like you as Hyun-seo’s dad, I’ll take Hyun-seo and raise him separately. It doesn’t matter, right?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Do you think you can take it Hyunseo is my daughter.”

– Clink-!

-F*ck-!

-Jjaeguraaang-!

The scuffle continued for a long time. Baek Hyun-seo’s ears were filled with the sound of her mother and father shouting and the occasional sound of objects breaking.

-Parr Leure

I was afraid. I was afraid that my father and mother, who were kind to each other, would fight.

I was scared. I was afraid of the intermittent sound of divorce and the fact that the two might grow apart.

“Kkeuheugh…”

I was confused. It was unbelievable to see parents who had never had a proper fight fight like they were going to kill each other.

I earnestly prayed that this situation would pass quickly.

I hoped that when tomorrow came again, her mother would read to her and stroke her hair like before, and that when evening came, her father would tell her what had happened at the academy.

However, her wish did not come true.

After several hours, I could hear no more father and mother fighting. Baek Hyun-seo fell asleep from crying.

-Kikkik

The sound of a door opening is heard. Baek Hyun-seo spoke while wiping the tears from her eyes.

“Father, I… I think I had a nightmare. I had a dream in which my father and mother were fighting.”

Baek Ju-seok looked at Baek Hyeon-seo with sad eyes and talked.

“Hyeonseo is not a dream.”

“Your mother abandoned you.”

Baek Hyun-seo shook her head and shouted.

“That… What do you mean by that?”

“They say they don’t want to see you anymore, but don’t worry. Because your father loves you Even if there is no mother in the future, I will do my best to be with you.”

That day. Half of Baek Hyun-seo’s world collapsed.
