Choi Inseop stopped by the animal hospital in the morning to check John’s condition. After hearing the veterinarian’s explanation that he was improving day by day, he looked at John over the case for a long time and returned.
Today was the day he promised to go see Lois and the kittens. Yoon Ahreum insisted on doing it on her own, but he was receiving a lot of help, so he was on his way to her house with full hands after buying gifts.
While going up the alley, Inseop put down his stuff and took out his cell phone to check. There was still no contact from Lee Wooyeon.
When Lee Wooyeon, who was talking about dogs, suddenly told him to take a break from work, Inseop was scared and shocked. He couldn’t keep up with how the conversation could change from there to there. Inseop, who came to his senses, refused firmly.
‘You can’t accept such an offer?’
It wasn’t just a day or two, it was for a while. Of course it was right to say no. Lee Wooyeon answered Inseop’s words with his eyebrows slightly bent.
‘Suggestion? When did I say that?’
The attitude was that there could be no further negotiations. After eating, Lee Wooyeon stood up from his seat saying he should stop going. Inseop said if he didn’t like the way he worked, he’ll try to fix it as much as he wanted. Lee Wooyeon looked into his eyes. His eyes were as if he was looking at something strange. Lee Wooyeon, who had been looking at him like that for a long time, brushed Inseop’s hair with his hands and said,
‘Such a happy ending will never come to you.’
Lee Wooyeon left the house after something he couldn’t understand. Today was the second day of such a sudden extended vacation.
“I think it’s time for filming”.
Inseop remembered Lee Wooyeon’s schedule, calculated his movements, and sent a text message. It wasn’t time for broadcast, so he could have been contacted by now, but it was silent.
Lee Wooyeon has often been angry before. Whenever Inseop talked with a woman, talked with a man, acted kind to a woman, or acted kind to a man… But it was his first time getting angry like this. Every time, he kept Inseop next to him and made him not go anywhere, but he never kept a distance.
“…Is he very angry?”
While he was thinking about how to relieve his anger, he arrived at the gate of Yoon Ahreum’s house. It was his first time visiting someone else’s house except for Lee Wooyeon after he came to Korea. He checked the time. It was five minutes earlier than the scheduled time.
Inseop took a deep breath. He rested and rang the doorbell. The intercom turned on and the gate opened with a voice saying, “Come in.”
As he pushed the door and entered, the dog lying in the yard saw Inseop and came up, wagging its tail like a propeller.
“How have you been?”
Inseob quickly put down the stuff in his hand? and petted the dog’s head.
Yoon Ahreum opened the front door and poked her head out.
“You can play with Kong later. Come up this way.”
Inseop went up the stairs, leaving the whining puppy behind. Taking off his shoes at the front door, Inseop said, “Excuse me.”
“You’re early.”
“Is it too early? I’m sorry.”
He had searched hard on the Internet to figure out what time was appropriate to arrive but he didn’t think about the fact that the standards might be different for different people.
“No, I thought you’d be a little late. You’ve been saying you’ve been busy lately.”
“I have a few days off.”
He didn’t know if it was a vacation, but he couldn’t think of an alternative word, so Inseop hesitated to answer. Then, he remembered the object in his hand and held it out to Yoon Ahreum.
“This is a gift.”
“You brought so many things.”
“This is Kong’s snack, this is Lois’ and the babies’ snack, this is Yoon Ahreum’s gift, this is your mother’s gift, and this is… It’s a gift for your father.”
Inseop, who was putting down the gifts one by one, took out a healthy food made of red ginseng.
He handed it to Yoon Ahreum.
He heard that Yoon Ahreum’s father objected to the temporary protection of the cat. He did it because Kong-i might be stressed. Upon hearing that, Inseop felt very guilty that he said he would look for a place to move into right away. However, Ahreum replied that he just had to wait a few days as if it was not a big deal.
“Is your father at home?”
In order to meet him in person and apologize and thank him, he deliberately said that he would go while Ahreum’s father was at home.
“Yes. Over there. Follow me.”
Inseop followed her nervously.
“Is your father still very upset?”
At Inseop’s question, Areum put on a serious expression.
“Mr. Inseop. Just in case you didn’t know, I’m warning you, but don’t ever say that you’re taking the cat. Never”
Inseop nodded his head.
“Father. A guest has come.”
After she knocked lightly, she twisted the doorknob open. The man who had been waving at the cat with a toy with a solemn expression turned his head.
“Hello. Nice to meet you.”
Inseop quickly bowed his head and said hello. Lois and the kittens recognized him and came running with crying sounds. .
Inseop, who suddenly had three cats on his body, smiled awkwardly.
Yoon Ahreum’s father looked at Inseop with wary eyes.
He soon opened his mouth.
“Are you the cat owner?”
“No. Not a cat owner…”
“Then why do our children follow you?”
“Yes? Ah..”
Inseop looked back at Yoon Areum. She was covering her mouth to hold back her burst of laughter.
“I think it’s because I gave them food.”
Inseop quickly came up with a valid reason and replied.
“I take care of their food too.”
Yoon Ahreum’s father grumbled like he was not happy.
“You said you didn’t like it, but you became like that in a day. Not even a day. It didn’t even take half a day. Now who’s kids are those?”
Yoon Ahreum mischievously teased her father with her laughing voice..
“Since they are in our house, they are our children.”
“Dad is too much. We have to find owners for them later.”
At Areum’s words, her father smiled and shook his head.
“How dare you hand over living things to someone who doesn’t even know where they are from. You don’t even know what they will to do to our children.”
“So, you should look into it and sell it.”
Despite her daughter’s words, the father did not relax his expression. Inseop removed Isaac, who had climbed up to his thighs, and set him down on the floor. Yoon Ahreum’s father, holding the kitten in his arms, glanced up and down at Inseop, then held out a hand to him.
“Yoon Seok-jun. I’m Areum’s father.”
“My name is Choi Inseop.”
Inseop took Yoon Seok-jun’s outstretched hand and bowed his head.
“How do you know my child?”
Inseop hesitated to answer, not knowing exactly who Yoon Seok-jun was talking about when he said, ‘my child’.
“This is someone I knew when I was working.”
Yoon Ah-reum answered instead.
“Work? You look like a student.”
“I worked for a while before, but now I go to school.”
“High school?
“…a college student.”
Yoon Seok-jun still looked at Inseop with suspicious eyes.
If he had a student ID, he would have shown it. Lee Wooyeon said that his paperwork was delayed, and he seldom returned his ID.
“But why are you here today?”
“Ahh, really. I’m just here to look at the kids.”
“Yes. That’s right. I’m here to say hello to your family because it seems like I’ve caused trouble.”
“You don’t mean to take her?”
Yoon Seok-jun asked again as he hugged the kitten in his arms. Inseop shook his head eagerly. Only then did Yoon Seok-jun let go of his guard and asked with a benevolent smile.
“Hmm. Have you eaten?”
