Part 2 Chapter.3 Newlyweds and Daily Life

***

Jinha Lee’s problem was his fiancee. Her fiancé and Lee Jin-ha are from the same orphanage. That’s why Jinha Lee has lived a difficult life since childhood.

We went to the same orphanage, so my fiancee and I had a long-term relationship since we were young.

Jinha and Jinha became best friends at the orphanage after he saved her from being bullied by other children when she was a snotty dog.

But she was the one who left the orphanage first.

This is because she was adopted by a good family nearby. Jinha Lee, who was five years older than her, voluntarily left the orphanage a few years later.

Of course, there was no contact with her during this period, so Jinha Lee just worked to survive.

Her reunion with Lee Jin-ha happened by chance. When she was still in middle school. The young man had just become an adult and was working hard in a jungle-like society.

However, perhaps it was fate, I ran into her on the street while walking. Like a lie. Like a scene from a movie.

Of course I was happy. Still, we have been together for many years. But she moved away from Jinha Lee as if she was just passing by. As if he didn’t want to pretend he didn’t know. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

Because he is no longer an orphan and unlike me, he is living a good life in a good place. No, from what I heard, her adoptive father was so successful in business that he was already running a company at the level of a chaebol.

In that case, he was a person living in a completely different world from his own. There is no longer anyone like the little sister I was so close to when I was young. Memories of childhood. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss the moment the person I considered my sister disappeared from my heart.

My younger sister didn’t talk much and always seemed lonely, so strangely, I started caring for her more.

Strangely enough, the boy, who was quiet, said many things to the young man. That bond used to make me feel like I had a real family.

But that is already an illusion. Memories are beautiful just because they are memories. The reality is like this.

Yes, because family doesn’t suit me.

The young man scolded himself and returned home after the short meeting. However, the moment he took off his clothes, he found a cell phone that was not his in his jumper pocket.

Just then the phone rang. I was so surprised that when I answered the phone, I heard her voice. It was a call asking to meet to return the cell phone.

I heard it later, but she said that she couldn’t pretend to know because her adoptive parents were watching, and in her haste, she put her cell phone in the young man’s coat pocket.

The connection that that cell phone connected.

So the young man and her were reunited again. And we kept in touch. A younger sister born again. It was a moment when the feeling of being like family was revived again because we were from the same orphanage and followed the young man well.

From then on, she always consulted Jinha Lee on even the smallest details. He still seemed quiet to others, but in front of the young man, he was just like he was when he was young.

“Oppa, do you remember how you protected me when I was young?”

“Of course I remember that. “That guy from the same orphanage, Mincheol, was especially like that.”

“So, so…” . These days, I’m learning Taekwondo and Judo. “If you get bullied, I will help you now.”

“what? “Isn’t it okay for a small thing to learn something like that?”

“It’s not. “Just wait and see.”

This was her. Her meeting with Jinha Lee continued like that. A young man who had almost no one he could call an acquaintance. She was also a benefactor who made me feel that I was not alone in this world.

Of course, I don’t think we were in love. Reunited in middle school and high school.

To Lee Jin-ha, who watched the process, she was, of course, his younger sister.

Until then.

But a big change came to her. Her father had an arranged marriage in mind when he adopted her, and decided to marry her when she was older.

The moment when the secret meeting is broken.

As soon as he heard that it was an arranged marriage, the young man felt his blood boil.

A younger sister?

The moment I realized how absurd that thought was.

Jinha Lee had to smile self-deprecatingly. He was definitely the one who helped her when she was young.

However, what supported the young man’s life after that was the presence of her who always supported him.

“Oppa, what should I do?”

“What kind of person are you marrying?” ?”

“That’s not important now, is it? Now tell me. “My brother’s heart.”

“i like you.”

Jinha Lee answers that question. I just confessed something tasteless and pointless. The words came out of my mouth to the point that I was surprised.

But she cried as soon as she heard the confession. Even though it was a tasteless confession, it was one that was long awaited.

“Fool, I’ve liked you ever since I saved you from those naughty guys when I was little… .”

Lee Jin-ha was so happy that the words made her jump, and the two of them got engaged secretly.

Of course, Jinha Lee was also very diligent in his work and had a boss who viewed it favorably, so by the time they got engaged, he already had a salary and position that would have been enough for him to get married at the mid-sized company where he was working.

A young man who lived his life looking only ahead.

And that’s why it was an engagement.

***

“uh? So you’re not engaged? “It’s something to celebrate, but why are you so worried about death?”

After hearing this far, I just blurted out my doubts. Then Lee Jin-ha hesitated to speak again.

Lulin had no interest in these things, but at some point he seemed to have been listening properly and stood up and opened his mouth.

“You didn’t give me an engagement ring? “You have to give it to me!”

This makes sense, considering Lurin loved it after receiving the ring, but at least in the current situation, it probably isn’t true.

“no. Of course I gave him a ring… . “That wasn’t the problem.”

“sure?”

A drooping horse’s tail. And the impression becomes darker. Soju continues to flow.

Then there is only one answer. From the story just now, if we were to guess the dark place in Lee Jin-ha’s life, it was his fiancee’s adoptive father. They’re talking about an arranged marriage or something.

“So, we have been in love since we were young, and I told her that I would not put her through any trouble and went to her house to ask for permission. But I haven’t even met him. She was locked up at home and couldn’t come out, so she sent her subordinates to abuse me. He told me not to approach him again. I was complacent… … . I think I was a fool to think that if I sincerely persuaded him, he would understand. She says Seon-hye is… I thought it would be better to run away… .”

I knew it.

It was disgusting.

It was very disgusting.

Well, it wasn’t anything unusual. In this case, if two people are in love, they may leave home, break off ties, and live separately, even in the face of opposition.

Then, later, when you have a child, you can use it as an opportunity to gradually become closer to the family you have lost touch with for a long time. This type of story was so common that it could actually be considered a repertoire.

However, in the case of this young man, there was a very strong feeling that the adoptive father had done the adoption for the purpose of an arranged marriage, and he went so far as to imprison his daughter for that purpose, so one could not help but say that it was disgusting.

Jin-ha Lee would have rather wanted to make sure that no matter how much her adoptive parents raised her, she would be officially recognized and be able to get married.

Without knowing that it might lead to this worst outcome.

“It feels like her adoptive father will hide her and force her to hold a ceremony before releasing her… . As a result, there is absolutely no way for us to meet.”

It’s not like the Joseon Dynasty. This was already another form of violence. Forcibly holding a ceremony.

The more I listen, the more unanswered I get. In that case, no answer should be met with no answer.

“You mean I just have to meet her?”

“yes.”

“I think there is something I can help you with.”

I smiled and shrugged. Of course, this isn’t something to talk about now that the other person is drunk.

***

So, I sent Jinha Lee home and cleaned up again. And then I became alone with Lulin again.

We went into the bathroom together again to get ready for bed, came out and went back to bed.

Rurin was enjoying taking pictures of me brushing my teeth. So, I took a picture of Rurin brushing her teeth, or the way she was sagging because she was tired, and she went crazy when she saw it.

“By the way, Lulin.”

“What?”

“What was that earlier?”

I had put it out of my mind for a while, but Lulin clearly looked very suspicious, so it was impossible to forget it completely.

The mushroom that Lurin personally brought from the huge room where the ruins were.

When Lulin tried to boil and eat the mushrooms that Kundle said were good for male stamina, he clearly had a feeling that there was something there.

“that… “That’s it.”

“that?”

Rurin slowly approached me. Then he poked my forehead with his finger.

“What are you doing?”

“If you eat that. And if you take a picture of your forehead like this! “I said I would be honest.”

“Being honest?”

Nod.

Lurin nodded with eyes full of anticipation.

“You have no choice but to answer all the questions I ask. And the best part is, he said he didn’t remember the answer!”

“How come there are all these ridiculous effects? No, before that, there was nothing I wasn’t honest with you about… .”

“you!”

“huh?”

“What do you like best about me?”

“what?”

Where?

That was a really blind question. And you won’t remember this? I don’t think that will happen, do you? Because, as we confirmed with the Secun mushroom, there is no mushroom effect for Lulin and I when we eat it.

But if you really want to know, you have to tell me. Of all the things about Lurin, there is nothing I particularly dislike. Because I like everything, even the annoying aspects.

“I am… If there is a part of you that dislikes me… I don’t like that. So onto my favorite part! I want to know. Then, it shows a lot of that part. Without anyone knowing!”

Lurin suddenly shouted with a red face.

“Well, the best part is.”

“if?”

I sat down on the bed and tapped my leg. Then Lurin understood and came up and sat on top of me. We ended up facing each other. In almost close contact.

“These eyes, nose and mouth. Soft lips, shoulders, ears, chest, waist, stomach… .”

“Huh… .”

As I moved my hand from my eyes to my stomach as if stroking, Lurin let out a soft moan.

“Oh, now that I think about it, it seems like the best time is to puff out your cheeks.”

“Huh? Bo ball? “You mean like this?”

Then Lurin suddenly puffed out her cheeks. This is the puffing of the cheeks that occurs when you are slightly pouting. Of course, this is also one of my favorite cute things.

All of those things are good, so how do you rank them?

“fool. “The best thing about you is that you always give me strength?”

Yes, when I’m having a hard time, I ask, ‘Who bullied you!’ ‘You are the best!’ Lulin’s heart, shouting together and always being on my side, pulled me in.

“… … ? I? To you? It’s not.”

“huh? “Isn’t it?”

“It’s the opposite!”

“And another thing I would say is that you have a good head? “This hair?”

“Her hair? Do you like your hair? Then… What should I do with my hair… … .”

“What should I do?”

Lurin was in confusion, holding the tip of her head with her eyes spinning.

“And Lurin.”

“What! Why hair? I do not know what should I do… !”

“Actually, when I was eating meat earlier, you also ate these mushrooms?”

“Ehhhh?”

Lurin was startled and tried to jump up from above me. But I didn’t miss and poked Rurin’s forehead.

“Ugh? When did I eat? Unbelievable… … .”

“fool. Previously… Even if you ate it, there’s no way it would work, right?”

A question mark appeared on Lulin’s face.

“Ugh… “Huh?”

And then, with a face that made him realize something incredible, he rushed into the blanket.

“hey!”

No matter how many times I called, he didn’t seem to have any intention of coming out.
