Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family - Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family chapter 68

68 – The World of Fairy Tales

“… Chairman, Lady Ara has arrived.”

“Okay, ask them to come in…” “

King Yucheol nodded his head slightly at Han Cherry’s report. After receiving the order, Cherry Han went straight out of the hospital room.

He is currently out of his home and hospitalized in a private hospital.

King Yoo-cheol was stubborn and did not want to lie down in the hospital bedroom like a patient, but he could not overcome the unbearable pain, so he was admitted to the hospital and was surviving by somehow reducing the pain.

“… “I brought you here.”

“… “I’m here.”

Han Cherry returned with Ara, who was waiting outside the hospital room.

It was the first time Ara met her grandfather since she was last called with Hansol.

Of course, Ara did not want to see this old man. She had no reason to look any further.

The reason Ara came here today was purely at the request of Han Cherry, King Yucheol’s exclusive knight.

When Director Cheri Han, who seemed like a machine man, asked in such an earnest voice, Ara’s heart was moved.

The news that King Yoo Cheol’s health had worsened to the point that he eventually had to leave his home and be admitted to the hospital also contributed to this.

“It’s late. I’ve been contacting you since last time to ask you to come, but you haven’t come… “

“I was busy.”

Ara’s expression was not good as she gave a short answer. The gaze also did not go to King Yucheol.

As soon as her eyes met, it seemed as if the malice filled in her heart would be revealed on her face.

After hearing her awkward answer, King Yucheol slightly raised his upper body from his lying down position.

Because one of his eyes was almost blind, he turned his head toward the visible eye and looked at Ara.

“What is that face? “Did something bad happen?”

“What do you think about my face?”

“I can see everything. No matter how hard you try to hide it, the venom and malice seeping out of your eyes.”

“… You seem to be feeling unwell and your eyes are also blurry. “Please tell me why you called me today.”

“Hmm… “

When King Yucheol saw Ara answering bluntly, his eyes began to become a little brighter.

At least that’s how Hancheri saw it.

Until Ara came, she saw a small light in his eyes as he had lost his firearm.

“Aren’t you my granddaughter? “You can call a dying old person to see her granddaughter when she is sick.”

“What nonsense…” Grandpa me? Since when does she say that she thought of me as her granddaughter? … “It’s not even funny.”

Ara’s tone towards King Yucheol was more aggressive than ever. Now that it was all over, there was no need to show off in front of him.

“You never saw my mom as part of her family in the first place, right? But I thought that I, her daughter, was your granddaughter? “She thought I was her granddaughter. Could she do that to my mom?”

“…… “

King Yucheol, who was stabbed in the painful spot, turned dark.

Ara, who was excited with resentment toward him, could not recognize him, but Han Cherry, a close associate of King Yucheol, was able to recognize the change in his expression.

Han Cherry immediately stopped Ara, fearing that it would harm her already worsening health.

“Miss, I think it would be best to leave it at that.”

“…… “

Even so, she didn’t want to be here saying things like this.

She doesn’t want to come to see someone she doesn’t like and talk about what she doesn’t like because it will only make her feel more depressed.

She put the clothes she had brought as a visitation gift on the table, and Ara said she would leave and turned her back.

If your goal was to see the face, you can go now.

But it seems like the old man wanted to shake her heart until the end.

King Yucheol openly touched her wound on the back of Ara’s head.

“I heard that guy has a girl?”

“…… “

Ara did not answer. I wanted to scream at the thought of that sound coming out of that mouth, but it was no use.

King Yucheol spoke to Ara, who just dropped her clenched fist.

“I didn’t know he would have another woman… “Isn’t that right?”

“… “I’m not interested.”

Ara hurried her steps. I didn’t want to be played by that old man’s tongue anymore.

In keeping with Ara’s urgent steps, King Yucheol’s speech also became faster.

He asked Ara for the last time.

“Do you love that guy?”

“From the time we first met until now. No, until I die… “That doesn’t happen.”

Turning her doorknob, Ara finished her last act.

It’s all over now. Now it would be meaningless for her to tell him her true feelings in front of him, that she loves Hansol.

“…… “

King Yucheol did not respond to his granddaughter’s last lie.

I just close my eyes with a face full of disappointment.

Ara left the hospital room without seeing that face.

When Ara left, Han Cherry came and helped King Yucheol to lie down comfortably.

“… President.”

“That’s it. Rather, call Mr. Park right away. “I’ll have to deal with it when my mind is still intact.”

“… Yes.”

Mr. Park. A lawyer close to King Yoo Cheol.

Cherry, not knowing what calling him meant, nodded his head heavily.

“… “Now I have to do what I have to do.”

Now I really don’t know when I will die. Now was the time to really confirm his will.

———-

“Sol, look at this, it’s Upalupa! Look at this smiling merchant. “Isn’t it really cute?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

For a moment, I thought about saying something harsh, saying, “You’re cuter,” But I refrained from saying it.

I like it that much, but I don’t want it to be embarrassing and distract me from watching it.

Upparupa. A type of salamander that lives in water. In fact, the real name is not Upalupa but Aholotol.

The name Upalupa is a nickname given in Japan because the Japanese find it difficult to pronounce the name axolotl. That nickname has spread to Korea and is called as if it were its real name.

Why do you know this? Because I heard it a long time ago. To my ex-girlfriend.

I pretended not to know and asked Soyi in a subtly teasing tone.

“But this right winga, they say you’ll be really ugly when you grow up. Shall I show you a picture? “You’ll probably be very surprised when you see this, right?”

“What~? Sol, what do you not know? You know, it’s actually Upalupa. The real name is Axolotl… “

The real name of Upaluffa is Axolotl, and in fact, the photos of adult Upaluffa floating around on the Internet are just different types, and because Upaluffa lives long through type maturation, most of them remain in the tadpole state or other miscellaneous things like that. Lined up.

Surprisingly, my current girlfriend said the same thing as my ex-girlfriend, with the same face and voice.

… That’s right. It’s the same person.

‘Actually, I know. I don’t remember that many details, but… ‘Because I heard it from you once.’

I knew that Soi knew so well about the animal called Upalupa, but I pretended not to know.

Soyi, who was giving an enthusiastic lecture to me about the ecology of Upalupa, was laughing loudly with confidence.

I wanted to see her face, so I came to the aquarium today on a date with her.

I wanted to see her face, so the first thing I did was bring her to her area where her upalupa was.

Because I wanted to see that smile of hers.

And, in my past life, I couldn’t bring her to a bright place like this, so she only saw this salamander on TV. She really wanted to come to her aquarium and see it with you.

Because she wanted to see you smiling so joyfully in front of the real thing.

“I’m sorry. Am I just too excited alone? I really like this guy, Upalupa… “

Professor Kim So-i, who had been lecturing about Upalupa for a while, saw me listening to her blankly and scratched her head as if embarrassed.

There is no need to apologize. Rather, I am more dissatisfied with the fact that such a pretty smiling face has stopped appearing.

“But why do you call me Upalupa? What was the original name, Axolotl? “If that’s the case, why don’t you call it that?”

“Upalupa is a cute name. Right?”

Soyi returned to her bright smiling face and asked.

I also couldn’t help but smile.

“You really like Upalupa.”

“Yes! “It’s so nice to see him always smiling like this!”

“… “I like you, so I like him too.”

“Yeah, yeah… ? Hmm… “

Soi twitched the corner of her mouth as she was about to go up.

I guess I’m still not immune to such sarcastic remarks.

They say his face will be ruined.

It would be a big deal if I showed this face to other people, so I have to hide it for now to protect my girlfriend.

I opened my arms.

“Kim So-yi.”

“Huh?”

“Come in, let’s hug for a moment.”

“W-here…” ? “Are there a lot of people?”

“It’s okay to hug. Hurry.”

“Uh, huh… “

Soyi hesitated for a moment and then came into my arms.

The scent of Soy’s shampoo in my arms saturates my nose.

It may not be from a particularly great brand, but why does the scent of a loved one excite my heart so much?

“hehehehe… “We just hugged each other like this, so we looked like a real couple.”

“Are we a real couple? If you don’t think so, can we do something more couple-like than a hug?”

“Oh, no~ How can I do something like that here… “

“What is that?”

“Oh, I don’t know… “

I thought it was cute to see my girlfriend shaking her head in my arms, so I hugged her deeper. Soi seemed to like it too, so she put more pressure on her hand on my back.

Soi in her arms suddenly stuck out her head and asked me.

“But… Are you really okay?”

“What?”

“Going on a date today. Sol said you are about to be tested. Studying while not having a part-time job… “

“It’s okay. Anyway, I’m in a teacher’s college so I don’t really care about grades… Well, besides, I’m a first year student. First year students don’t really care about tests… “

“No!”

Soyi decisively cut off my lightly spoken words.

After she got out of my arms, her expression became stern and she raised her little finger.

It seems like she’s in a serious mood, but I don’t know anything about it, and it’s cute how she raises her little finger in this situation.

“Promise me. Don’t neglect your work because of me. “When the exam period comes, I definitely adjust my part-time job hours.”

“I’m okay…” “

“Uh-huh!”

“… Yes, promise.”

Reluctantly, I put my little finger on Soyi’s little finger.

I’m not embarrassed to hug people in front of people, but this is a bit…

Soy, unaware of my complicated feelings, said with a bright smile that I had promised her.

“hehehehe, instead, let’s go on a trip together after your exams and after vacation. “I’m taking leave from the store.”

“The two of you?”

“Ah, no~! That’s a bit early… Cuddled up with Joohee… “

“Okay then. But not as soon as I go on vacation.”

“Huh? Still, it doesn’t matter, why?”

“I’m taking the seasonal semester.”

I heard from seniors that you should enroll in seasonal semesters in advance so that you don’t have to worry about earning credits later.

I don’t know if I’ll become a teacher, but I still plan to graduate, so I’ll have to get good grades.

Soyi, who was very interested in my school life, asked about the title of the lecture.

“The world of fairy tales.”

From what I heard from my senior, it was a very cultured lecture with no major assignments.

So-called angel who gives grades.

… I certainly heard that.

———-

“Oh, the exam period is really hard… This isn’t the end. You also have to listen to the seasons… “

“… Yes, that’s right.”

Ara roughly answered Choi Na-ra’s complaints.

These days, Ara, where the pressure continues to be low, has often been like this.

Although Ara is a friend who goes together, Choi Na-ra was not able to point out or ask any questions about Ara’s attitude because, in slang, Ara is of a different level.

Since Ara was usually like an angel, it was even more difficult for her to know how to treat her.

Just to lighten the mood, Choi Nara brought up another topic.

“Oh, by the way, I heard you were successful, right? Sign up for that honey culture course in the seasonal semester. Uh… “What was its name?”

“Yes… “

Ara was really tired.

Pretending to be fine just to impress others, or showing that you are not fine and making others notice.

Ara sighed softly inwardly as she saw Nara Choi looking at her, and answered with her best smile.

“… A world of fairy tales.”
