Episode 60

Squeak-

widely!

Hee-sung parked his car so roughly that tire marks were left on the floor.

After that, I had to get out of the car right away, but my body wouldn’t move right away.

My heart was pounding and my mind was blank, so I needed some time to calm down.

“Hoo, hoo… … .”

I always thought that this moment would come someday.

Because it’s something that happens to everyone.

But when I actually thought about that situation, I felt scared, hurt, sad, and sorry at the same time.

My grandmother was the eldest grandson and loved him more than anyone else.

widely.

There could be no further delay as the member had requested that he come as soon as possible.

Heeseong got out of the car, looked at his grandmother’s house with its lights on, carefully opened the door, and went inside.

“Grandma, Mom. I’m here. It’s Heeseong.”

Hee-sung barely opened the front door with trembling hands, letting everyone know that he was there.

Then, he crossed the shoe rack and walked slowly into the living room.

However, I couldn’t help but freeze in place at the sight that immediately appeared before my eyes.

“grandma……?”

“Yes, are you here, my grandson? Wash your hands quickly and come and sit down. I prepared this just in time.”

I thought you were definitely lying down.

No, I thought there might be no consciousness at all.

Because I thought it was a call calling me urgently as the end was near.

But what on earth is this situation… … ?

Hee-sung’s gaze shifted to his mother and Hee-won after seeing his grandmother spreading the chicken soup with her bare hands.

Then, Hee-won lowered her head and pouted her lips with an apologetic expression.

“Ugh, I’m sorry, oppa. We were completely fooled by grandma. We got on the express bus in a hurry after receiving a call from grandma, and then she suddenly said she wanted to go to the market first… … She said she was going to make you your favorite chicken stew.”

“Chicken stew? Then grandma… … ?”

“She’s fine. She just got her health checkup results today and she wanted to show them off so she called us all. Oh my, grandma, you’re really being mean.”

Looking at my mother’s face without any makeup on, it seemed like the two of them had really come running in a hurry.

Looking at the way her eyes looked particularly dry, it seemed like my mother had been crying the whole way here.

Hee-sung, who had just realized the situation, lost the strength in his legs and collapsed.

“Grandma! You have nothing better to joke about than this. How dare you joke around like this, knowing how surprised your family would be!”

Despite Heeseong’s resentful voice, the grandmother paid no attention and just continued to rub goosebumps.

Then he dipped a piece of meat in salt and shoved it into Heeseong’s mouth.

“Eat this, you idiot. Why are you talking so much when you didn’t even contact me on my birthday? If I hadn’t contacted you, would you have come to see me after I died?”

“Is it your birthday? Was it your grandmother’s birthday?”

“Yes, you punk. The village chief even went to the mill to make rice cakes for his birthday, but why haven’t any of you contacted him? Do you think he doesn’t know the sorrow of being old?”

Even though she was upset, the grandmother’s hand continued to reach for Heeseong’s mouth.

Mom said, looking at Heeseong whose cheeks were getting swollen.

“I should have taken care of it, but I was so busy with housework and moving preparations that I forgot. No matter how busy I was, I should have called you… … .”

“ah.”

Now that I think about it, I used to call my grandmother every year around this time to congratulate her.

Even back then, I always got a call from my mom and called my grandmother.

Since there wasn’t any this year, I just let it pass.

Feeling sorry, Heeseong quickly swallowed what was in his mouth and lowered his head.

“I’m sorry, Grandma. I should have been more careful since you were living alone in the countryside. You must have been very upset.”

“Okay! If you understand, then go to sleep today. I bought some meat at the market, so eat until you’re full by tomorrow and leave late at night. Amy and Heewon said they would do the same. Got it?”

Since tomorrow was the weekend and I didn’t have anything else planned, I nodded my head in agreement.

Then, Heeseong saw five bowls of rice on the table and asked.

“But who else is coming? It looks like there’s another bowl of rice.”

“Yeah, Manho. Manho does all the farming for our family. Not long ago, when I was getting a health checkup, he came and went to town, so I invited him over for a meal. Do you know Manho too?”

“Of course. He’s the uncle I’ve known since I was little. He always sends me rice, so I’m grateful.”

Jang Man-ho was my father’s childhood friend and also the village chief.

He was a kind person who took care of all the farming for a year on behalf of his grandmother, who had a hard time farming alone, and sent some of the rice he collected to his grandmother and Heeseong’s family every year.

Hee-sung got up from his seat and rolled up his sleeves, thinking that he should wash his hands and get ready since one more guest was coming.

But then, it was then.

“Oh my, oh my. It’s chaos, it’s chaos. Mom! Whose car is that over there?”

A man burst through the front door and asked the old woman urgently without even taking off his shoes.

A familiar face, it was the last guest of the day, Jang Man-ho.

“Car? What car? Did Heesung come in your car?”

Heeseong nodded obediently, thinking there must have been only one car parked outside.

Then, Jang Man-ho came into the living room with a blank expression on his face and grabbed Hee-sung’s arms.

“What are you doing?! You have to take off your shoes before you come in!”

“Hey, Heeseong. You should go to the police station first. Right now, you’re scared and your mind is spinning, so you might not be able to judge the situation well, but that’s absolutely right. Regardless of the circumstances, if you leave it like this, the punishment will only get worse. Do you know what I mean? Let’s go. I’ll go with you.”

When Jang Man-ho suddenly tried to drag Hee-sung’s arm, his younger brother Hee-won quickly got up and grabbed his arm.

“Sir, why are you suddenly like this! The police station? Why is my brother here?”

“I called you to eat, but what did you eat wrong? What are you doing to someone else’s grandchild right now?! Where are you taking our grandchild!”

“Mr. Manho, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”

At the barrage of questions from his family, Jang Man-ho closed his eyes tightly and collapsed on the floor.

Jang Man-ho, who was unable to open his mouth for a long time, placed his trembling hand on his forehead.

Then, soon, a shocking story came out of his mouth.

“That bastard Heeseong, I think he caused a big accident… … . He seems to have killed someone… … . There’s a body in the back of the car, and it’s not moving. It’s dead, 100%… … .”

“yes?”

“What, what did you say?”

“Mr. Manho, what is that… … . A corpse?”

At that moment, I felt like I had been hit hard in the head with a hammer.

I had completely forgotten about it during the three hours it took to get here.

If Jang Man-ho hadn’t told me, I probably wouldn’t have even thought of his existence until I finished eating the chicken stew.

Hee-sung glanced at the shocked faces of his family and ran out into the yard.

Then I went through the front door, opened the back door of the car wide, and called his name.

“Yoo Jae-wook… … !”

However, Yoo Jae-wook was already half-awake.

He had his head bowed, his mouth covered, and was groaning strangely.

Heeseong, who had a picture of what the next action would be like at that moment, hurriedly grabbed his upper body to get his face out.

In a split second, screams and vomit began pouring out of his mouth.

‘… … Haa. It hasn’t even been a month since I picked it… … .’

Fortunately, the disaster on the seat was prevented.

But there was nothing I could do about the tires popping out.

Yoo Jae-wook asked with a blank look on his face, wiping his hand around his mouth, as if he knew Hee-seong’s intentions.

“Ugh… … Where am I?”

***

“This rotten bastard. Without even knowing the circumstances, he turned someone else’s precious grandson into a murderer? I thought my heart was going to burst.”

“Oh, Mom. How could I have known that? I saw a shiny car in front of my house, so I looked inside to see what it was. But there was a person lying in the back seat, and no matter how much I called, he wouldn’t answer. Of course, I thought he was dead.”

“He’ll rot if he dies. He’s the one eating chicken porridge. He’s eating everything I’m going to give to my grandson. He’s eating it all.”

The grandmother spoke to Yoo Jae-wook, who was sucking the chicken porridge with his nose buried in the pot, while sticking out the chicken’s neck.

“Ouch! You want me to eat meat too, not just porridge? Was that all you had to eat? Why not eat meat again!”

“Oh, I’m fine. I drank a lot, so I’m a bit bloated… … . Haha, I’ll just eat the porridge quietly, Grandma!”

“You rotten thing. You’re saying that because I’m not okay. What the heck?”

After receiving Hee-won’s call and dropping off Im Eun-ha, Hee-sung immediately stepped on the accelerator and came here.

Until the moment of departure, I had clearly thought about Yoo Jae-wook’s existence, and since it seemed like it would take a long time for me to sober up anyway, I thought I should just go to my grandmother’s house.

Now that I saw him sober and hungry, I couldn’t help but wonder what to do.

“No, that means he’s a celebrity too. But isn’t Heeseong in charge of it?”

After hearing what Yoo Jae-wook does, Jang Man-ho asks Hee-sung.

Among them, only Hee-won recognized Yoo Jae-wook because Hee-won told him that he was a very famous celebrity.

Heeseong slowly nodded and answered.

“Yes. I happened to come with you in my car… … . I think I’ll have to take you back to Seoul a little later.”

“Huh? At this hour? It’s already past nine o’clock?”

“There’s nothing I can do. But I can’t let him stay here either.”

Even though he’s wearing dirty clothes and has his nose in a pot, he’s still a celebrity.

If you were brought here in a car without even knowing English and were told you had to sleep here out of the blue, you would be quite flustered.

Although it is a hassle, it is the right thing to do to bring him back to Seoul.

Jang Man-ho dissuaded Hee-seong from saying that it was absolutely not possible.

“Oh, no, no. Do you know how many accidents have happened around here lately? Not long ago, a motorcycle and a car collided and killed someone on the spot. There are no streetlights, so it’s dangerous. You should sleep in today and go tomorrow. There are plenty of rooms here.”

Jang Man-ho looked at Yoo Jae-wook and asked.

“Will that be okay? I won’t be able to go alone anyway since I’m drunk. Let’s get some sleep and go tomorrow, okay?”

“Oh, is there a taxi here? I can just take a taxi to Seoul, so don’t worry about it. I’ll pay for the meal before I go!”

“Oh, my young friend, you don’t understand what I’m saying. I tried to speak nicely to you.”

Jang Man-ho suddenly got up from his seat, walked towards the front door, and soon returned holding something.

Then he put it down quietly and spoke to Yoo Jae-wook again.

“But I still have to pay for the food. And the stuff that was thrown up in the yard over there, I have to stay until tomorrow. We’re already short on manpower.”

“… … Work, work?”

“You don’t even know where you are, do you? Judging from the way I speak and the way I act, you don’t know? Where is this place?”

Yoo Jae-wook swallowed his saliva as he heard Jang Man-ho’s story.

He now had a sharp sickle in front of him, and he had noticed a while ago that this place was quite far from Seoul.

Yoo Jae-wook asked with a trembling voice, putting down his spoon.

“… … Is this by any chance Gokseong… … ?”
