In this life,
Su-hyeon’s life went smoothly after she started as a child (85) and buried the money in a good place.
Since it was vacation, I didn’t have to go to school, and since I decided to take a break, I could look at the scripts that came.
‘Still, I thought I should maintain human relationships…’
Suhyun laughed empty-handed as she looked at the scenery of the kids cafe through the glass door.
The schedule was determined to meet the minimum needs, but when I saw the children running wild in the ball pool, I suddenly wanted to run away.
“Soohyun, let’s go in.”
“yes.”
Since you have already come, retreat is impossible.
He held Jiyeon’s hand and took reluctant steps.
“oh! Hello Suhyeon! Are you here to celebrate Sia’s birthday? How.”
“Hello, congratulations.”
“He’s also dignified. Oh, look at my mind. Soohyun’s mother, come this way. The other kids’ mothers are over there too.”
“yes. “Happy birthday Sia.”
“thank you. “Ah, Soohyun, give your birthday present to the lady and go play with your friends.”
“…yes!”
As they entered the kids cafe entrance, the mother of Im Si-ah, the main character of today’s event, welcomed Su-hyeon and Ji-yeon.
With her wavy hair elegantly styled up, she boasted an aura as good as that of a Gangnam wife.
“Kyaa! “It’s Su-hyeon!”
“Hello, Suhyeon.”
“Happy birthday, Sia.”
“thank you.”
When we went to the mini runway photo zone where the girls were gathered, today’s protagonist Im Si-ah spotted Su-hyeon and smiled brightly.
The fresh smile felt like genuine affection for the child she liked, but Suhyeon was not fooled.
‘If a child is this clever… I should be grateful.’
2nd grade, 3rd class president, 2nd grade representative, 2nd grade 1st place winner of external competition.
Im Si-ah drew people’s attention in a different way than Su-hyeon and knew how to enjoy the glued gaze.
She clearly possessed the attributes of a queen, and had girls as her followers, and even subdued boys, who were almost like young beasts, implicitly.
Sia, who had the trust of adults on her back, was the queen of the small society called school.
‘If I were a woman, I would have been extremely hostile.’
She smiled and welcomed Suhyeon, but Sia did not like Suhyeon.
Su-hyeon is a male and does not invade the group, so they coexist appropriately. If they were of the same gender, they would have had to transfer schools or bullied them until they were mentally exhausted.
‘Of course, I wouldn’t have avoided a dog fight, but we still cooperate to a certain extent, so why not take advantage of it? Even if they are compatible because there is benefit to them…’
The reason why Su-hyeon calls his relationship with her a symbiosis is because there is giving and receiving.
Sia, who subtly suppressed not only girls but also boys, was the key to Suhyeon’s smooth school life.
‘The timing was perfect.’
Not long after she sued the teacher who had unfairly criticized her, saying, ‘Your behavior as a person was the problem,’ she came to Su-hyeon separately and made a proposal.
The message was that if you show a friendly attitude toward yourself in front of children, you will help prevent strange rumors or noises from occurring at school.
‘I realized I wasn’t that interested in school. Politics is also a field of talent at that point.’
She didn’t want to date Suhyeon.
He just wanted to disguise himself as a fish in a fishing pond so he could show off to his friends.
It was to distract followers who were fond of Su-hyeon so that they would not be divided out of jealousy.
‘I’m not the one taking bait. It’s so outrageous.’
Fortunately for Sia, Su-hyeon did not attack her and accepted the offer obediently.
It’s a matter of the effort it takes, but it’s easier to have a good time with Sia than to control the children.
‘I don’t regret it, um. If I had to choose whether to fill 100 in one shot or 100 times, I would choose the former, but hmm.’
Suhyeon, who was recalling the promise she had made with Sia, blushed and looked at the girls who were glancing at her with bright eyes.
The unaffected affection was refreshing, but it was difficult because the total amount of energy was so high.
“Soohyun, let’s go over there and play together!”
“okay! “Even though it was vacation, it was our first time meeting!”
“Hmm, I think I’ll go see mom for a moment.”
“I was surprised until the adults started partying! Let’s go, let’s go!”
“that’s right! There’s even a slide in the pool over there! Pong Pong too!”
“Hahaha, yes….”
Suhyeon nodded with a faint smile.
It wasn’t easy to achieve the friendship that needed to be maintained for a month in two hours.
* * *
“So, did you hang out a lot with your friends today?”
“yes! “We played by throwing balls in the ball pool, pompong was fun, and the cake was delicious.”
“That must have been fun.”
Su-hyeon chatted about what happened at Sia’s birthday party when the family gathered together in the evening.
Ho-chan smiled happily as he watched Su-hyeon purse her lips.
It was a normal, peaceful meal time like any other time.
“The girl who is the host of today’s party is very smart. They say he takes first place in his class. “And my son wanted to boast that he was a strong candidate for this year’s Rookie of the Year award?”
“okay? “Wasn’t there any pink atmosphere?”
“I don’t know about that kid, but Soohyun… she likes acting more.”
As Su-hyeon struggled with his chopsticks, the two, who thought they were focusing on eating, became interested in their son’s love story.
The whispering voice was clear to his ears, but Suhyun pretended not to notice.
‘Here, whether you deny it or affirm it, it’s a minus.’
I will accept negativity as a strong positive and accept positivity as a positive.
Because the angle was so clear, Su-hyeon became passionate about spooning.
“Is it okay to work these days? “They say government offices are trying to save energy, but they don’t even air condition properly.”
“I don’t get very hot, so I don’t think I would feel it. “Suhyun’s mom doesn’t get hot during the day, right?”
“I work from home. If it’s too hot, you can freely turn on the air conditioner. “What job environment would be best for me?”
“That’s not true. I finish work when I get off work at 6 o’clock.”
“Hmm… I’m jealous of that.”
Jiyeon and Hochan soon blossomed into trivial stories.
Like a couple full of affection, their eyes dripped with honey as they looked at each other.
‘It’s easy to get used to it, but it’s still unfamiliar…’
Suhyeon focused on using chopsticks, leaving her parents alone who were trying to create their own world.
Even though he was already nine years old, his under-muscled fingers often handled the two sharp chopsticks like a fork.
Concentration was needed to accurately set the goal.
“Oh right. “Do you remember the symbol?”
“sign? Ah, Soohyun’s father was a classmate in elementary, middle, and high school?”
“uh. “I didn’t hear from him for a while, but he contacted me saying he would be appearing at this reunion.”
The parent’s personal conversation soon moved on to talking about Ho-chan’s old hometown friend.
Even then, Su-hyeon was busy developing patience by fighting against the elusive side dishes.
“Didn’t you say that Mr. Kiho has a younger brother?”
“Oh, Kibum? That’s right. Even though Kibum was in a different grade, he always went to the same school. Since we all know each other, does he want to come with us?”
Clink.
The couple, who had been talking for a while, turned their heads when they heard a clear metallic sound echoing on the floor.
One of Suhyeon’s chopsticks was rolling around on the floor.
“Soohyun, are you okay? I dropped my chopsticks. “Mom will pick it up for you.”
“Oh, I’ll pick it up.”
“The chair is high, so it’s okay. “Stay still.”
Jiyeon quickly carried the fallen chopsticks to the kitchen counter.
Ho-chan, who was sitting across from him, took out a children’s iron chopstick from the cutlery case and handed it to him.
“It’s been a while since our Soohyun made a mistake? Didn’t you get a cramp in your finger? Are the chopsticks heavy because they are made of metal?”
“no. “I just had to work so hard to pick up side dishes today.”
“Okay, as long as it doesn’t hurt, that’s fine. Let’s massage our fingers. right hand left hand. Douche douche.”
Su-hyeon clumsily imitated Ho-chan’s hand movements and kneaded his fingers.
It wasn’t because it was heavy that I missed it, so it wasn’t very useful.
‘Ki-beom… Ki-beom Lee.’
He was shocked that he had forgotten the name, even if only for a moment.
There are several names in the world that should not be forgotten, but I could not understand the fact that one of them, one that should be engraved in stone, had been forgotten because it was buried in daily life.
‘It’s not the time to think about resting.’
Suhyeon, who was thinking about how to enjoy her break, reflected on her complacency.
The actor’s life, which was going smoothly, was sinking into a harmonious family, and the crucial reason why the latter fell apart was buried in a corner.
Even in the early days of my return, I kept ruminating and gritting my teeth every time.
‘Lee Ki-beom. That bastard finally showed up.’
Su-hyeon cursed at the other person in his mind and gritted his teeth quietly.
The first missing button that led to his family’s divorce.
The culprit that created financial hardship in the family.
A fraudster who ruined a happy family photo.
Lee Ki-beom, a conman who defrauded people of praise, once again appeared in front of Soo-hyeon’s family.
* * *
Fraudster Lee Ki-beom.
The author used the fact that they were acquaintances to approach Ho-chan, created debt on his ample wealth, and then disappeared.
It was also the main culprit that made Suhyeon, who was introverted, become passive.
‘Even though I’m young, it doesn’t mean I can’t read the mood.’
Even Su-hyeon, who couldn’t remember her classmate for six years, clearly remembered the family atmosphere right after she got scammed when she was in elementary school.
It was harder to forget because it was an opportunity for him, who was an introverted and quiet child, to become gloomy and timid.
‘Mom and Dad, I tried not to notice… but you couldn’t have known that.’
With the con artist gone, Ji-yeon, who had been working as a freelancer and taking care of Soo-hyeon, went back to work at the company.
Ho Chan, a public servant, was disciplined for violating his duty to maintain dignity.
Even though he was a victim, his family was harshly pushed into a corner.
Of course, scars remained, and young Soo-hyeon could not help but feel intimidated by the sighing and shadowy sight of the family.
‘The real person has appeared again. under.’
Su-hyeon’s early life in the entertainment industry created a butterfly effect and gradually changed the future around her.
Even as she gritted her teeth at Lee Ki-beom, Soo-hyeon hoped that the butterfly effect she had created would blow away the conman.
Rather than waiting for a nightmare to appear, he simply hoped that the state that had never existed from the beginning would remain.
‘But it showed up. And that’s a few months faster than before.’
In his hazy memories, Su-hyeon recalled the time when he was defrauded.
Even though I couldn’t remember what month it was, I remembered that it was the summer of my third year.
‘Actually, this conversation may have happened before the regression, but hearing the name itself makes me feel bad.’
This time you will never be defeated.
Su-hyeon, who had made up his mind, put rice into his mouth like a fighter.
I was filled with the desire to pay a lot of interest on top of the expenses I had paid before returning.
