Episode 163

The owner of the gloomy aura that had been wandering around tried to move away from the car as if he was going to go somewhere else.

I felt like I couldn’t miss it, so I was about to go out and take a look.

“Where are you, Dad? Don’t leave Bok-soon behind… … .”

“ah.”

My grandmother must have sensed something and grabbed my arm.

But it wasn’t easy to shake off that power.

It wasn’t because he was too strong, but rather because he was too weak.

It was as if I had become a real child.

That would be expected, Grandma Kim Bok-sun looked quite frail.

Of course, it couldn’t have been like this.

Since Kang Do-yoon was still outside, I left a message with the hand that wasn’t caught.

And just in case, he gave a wink to Hansong-i.

Since it was posted in a group chat, Han Song-i, who checked it together, was seen talking to Lee Seon-ah.

‘Is that right?’

If the owner of the gloomy aura outside had no relation to this old lady, things could have been a little more complicated.

Because you might have to report it to the police.

I feel like I’ve been seeing the police more often lately… … Of course, it was for a different reason this time, but seeing them so often isn’t always a good thing.

“Grandma, Grandma, where are you from?”

“Isn’t that Grandma Bok-soon?”

“Oh, um. Then Bok-soon. Where did you come from?”

Just in case, I kept talking to my grandmother.

It’s just a guess that someone with a dull aura has a relationship with a grandmother.

“Grandma~ No, Bok-soon! Do you want to eat this too? Hot bar!”

“Hot bar? Huh!”

Su-ah noticed her grandmother’s condition and handed her the hot bar she was about to eat.

And Sia handed over a hot dog.

Thanks to that, my arms were freed up while my grandmother had a hot bar and a hot dog in each hand.

During this gap, I checked to see if Kang Do-yoon had seen the message.

─It’s Grandma, and she’s wearing a purple floral vest.

─I heard someone was looking for someone, so I gave them a description just in case, and it seems to be correct. I’m heading towards the car now.

Fortunately, thanks to Han Song-i’s detailed explanation, it seemed like Kang Do-yoon was bringing a guardian.

I was so lucky.

While my grandmother was eating her snack without knowing anything, I checked out the situation outside.

As expected, Kang Do-yoon was seen coming with the person with the same gloomy aura as before.

dripping!

The two approached the car, knocked on the door once, and then opened it.

“Kim Bok-soon! Why are you here? I told you not to go anywhere else!”

“Bok-soon didn’t go anywhere! She was with her dad!”

“Where is Grandpa!?”

“Daddy’s here! You idiot sister!”

A middle-aged woman confirmed that she was Mrs. Kim Bok-sun and let out a sigh of relief before shouting.

But Grandma Kim Bok-sun didn’t give in. She decided to sneak in amidst the tension between the two.

“Hello. Are you the guardian?”

“Oh, yes. It’s your mother. You suddenly disappeared while I was going to the bathroom… … I’m really grateful. As you can imagine, she’s a little unwell right now.”

“Yes, that’s okay. That’s fortunate. At least there were no major accidents.”

“Oh my… … That’s right.”

She was grandmother Kim Bok-sun’s daughter.

Well, it was similar enough that I could tell just by looking at their faces, so I didn’t think I needed to check.

I don’t know why she calls her daughter “sister”, but I thought it might have something to do with dementia.

In the first place, you even call me dad, so what… … .

Anyway, the daughter, who found her grandmother safely, kept saying thank you.

And I quickly tried to get my grandmother out of the car.

“Get down quickly! Let’s go see the ocean, you say? Let’s go see the ocean. Okay? Let’s go with your sister?”

“Bok-soon will go with her dad!”

“I told you Dad isn’t here? Where is Dad here?”

“Daddy’s here! You idiot sister!”

But I had a fight with my grandmother who didn’t want to get off.

Actually, since I found a guardian, there was no need for me to come forward here.

But somehow I thought of my grandfather and I stepped forward without realizing it.

‘Embodiment, immersion, camouflage, communication.’

Here comes the charm. Almost all of the talents of this life have been mobilized.

Okay then.

“Bok-sun. You should listen to what your sister says, right?”

“dad?”

“Yes, Bok-sun. I told you to listen to your sister when your dad is away.”

“Okay! Listen carefully to what Bok-soon says! So Dad, come quickly too!”

Should I call this a slur? The words came out smoothly without me feeling like I was doing it.

Naturally, I began to think of Grandma Kim Bok-sun as my daughter.

As if there was a young child in front of me, not an old grandmother.

And when Grandma Kim Bok-sun saw me like that, she reacted as if she had seen her real father.

“oh?”

Grandmother Kim Bok-sun’s daughter looked at this sight with amazement.

It wasn’t just him who saw it that way. My companions also reacted in the same way behind me.

There was no need to tell him that I was acting.

“Bok-soon, Dad will boil some potatoes, so go play with your sister and come back. Okay? Got it? Let’s go play and eat some potatoes with salt.”

“Okay! I’ll go play soon!”

The grandmother, who had resisted no matter how hard her daughter tried to drag her away, nodded almost reflexively at my words.

Then he grabbed his daughter’s hand and urged her to hurry up and go play.

“Let’s go quickly, sis. When you come back from playing, dad will boil some potatoes for you!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

My daughter, who seemed flustered as if it was her first time seeing something like this, soon nodded her head slightly to me and expressed her gratitude.

And before Grandma Kim Bok-sun could be stubborn again, he quickly headed to his car.

Fortunately, it seemed she wasn’t alone, as other family members standing around the car came running and took the grandmother away safely.

‘hmm.’

I looked at them for a moment, pondering, and then followed them.

And the talent of this life was released and approached Grandma Kim Bok-sun’s daughter.

“excuse me.”

“Ah! Yes. Thank you so much. Normally, when my mom is stubborn, it’s endless, but thanks to you, I was able to bring her home quickly.”

“That’s good. Take care. Oh, and if you ever come back later, you can come here.”

“Huh? Tiger Shelter?”

“Yes. This is the cafe I run. I’ll be here all the time, so come and rest without worrying about grandma.”

“ah.”

And, as a gesture of kindness, he gave a coupon for the Tiger Shelter and a business card to Grandma Kim Bok-sun’s daughter.

I felt like this was some kind of fate. I said I could do something.

Then she paused for a moment, looked at the business card quietly, and then nodded.

“Yes, I will definitely stop by next time. Thank you so much for today.”

“Yes. Take care.”

It felt like some kind of sales pitch, but fortunately, the person receiving it seemed to have accepted it as a favor.

After expressing their thanks, Grandma Kim Bok-sun and her group quickly got into their car and left the rest area.

And I went back to my car.

“Brother. I respect you.”

“What? All of a sudden.”

Seeing me return, Kang Do-yoon suddenly spoke as if he was confessing.

Why is he like this?

and…….

“Why do you all have such expressions?”

“Dude, you just did something awesome!”

“Almost method acting as a grandfather.”

Not only SuA and Sia, but also HanSongI and SuHo gave a thumbs up.

And Lee Sun-ah.

“This is a piece of art. Can I upload it?”

“… … Is that okay? Without their permission?”

“Ah. Ugh.”

It seemed like it was a pity, but Lee Seon-ah quickly folded.

After the brief incident at the rest stop, I finished eating the snack I couldn’t eat earlier in the car and set off.

“I will now call you senior. I thought you were just a special older brother with a unique vibe, but you are a true actor.”

“It’s just something that fits the situation, so what’s the actor doing?”

“No, I know. It was harder than I thought to do it that way… … I felt more like an actor than an actor?”

I can’t help but chuckle at Kang Do-yoon’s nonsense.

And before the awkward atmosphere could be created, I started talking about something else.

“I saw earlier that you have a lot of fans?”

“The moment my brother jumps into acting, I will just become a newbie.”

This guy doesn’t know moderation.

“… … Stop talking nonsense and just look at the address. Is this the right place?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I headed to my lodgings under Kang Do-yoon’s burdensome gaze.

It was a place that Su-ah had decided on and the village chief had paid for.

I didn’t hear exactly where, but we decided to go first, unpack our bags, and then go play at the beach.

‘But what was that just now?’

I ignored Kang Do-yoon, who kept giving me burdensome looks, and recalled the strange feeling I had earlier.

It was when I played the role of Grandma Kim Bok-sun’s father. I felt really strange when I used almost all of my talents in this life.

‘It felt like a combination of talents. But it didn’t feel like resonance or harmony.’

I don’t know.

Since I’m driving, I can’t focus here anymore, so I decided to leave that aside.

And soon we arrived at our accommodation… … .

“Here?”

“yes!”

“No, what kind of pool villa did you rent?”

It was a great place to stay, with a direct view of the beach.

I bet it cost quite a bit of money to rent this… … .

“The village chief told me to come and have some fun?”

“That must be because you chose this place.”

“No? Wasn’t this recommended by the village chief?”

“Huh? The village chief?”

“Yes! It was a place that someone I know was doing.”

Oh, so is that where your friend works?

First, I parked my car at the entrance and got out.

And as I was trying to check in, the doors that looked like gates opened on both sides as if they had been waiting.

“Welcome.”

A middle-aged man and woman who appeared to be a couple greeted us through the open door.

These days, I’m the one who speaks first, so it feels a little awkward to hear it like this.

“Hello. I came here to stay overnight.”

“Yes, yes. I heard. Are you, by any chance, Mr. Cheon’s grandson?”

“Huh? Do you know Grandpa?”

“Yes. You’ve been to a cafe, too? It was so helpful that I’m now running a business like this.”

The owners were a couple who were close friends not only with the village chief but also with my grandfather.

After greeting the group kindly, the two people guided us to the separate men’s and women’s dormitories.

“I’ve heard that, but you really do resemble your grandfather.”

“… … I’ve been hearing that a lot since I came down to Cheonho-ri.”

It’s not that it wasn’t true, but it was something that the villagers, and sometimes people who knew my grandfather, would always say.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that I resemble my grandfather so much before.

Will I start to resemble my grandfather as I grow older?

‘Not to that extent yet.’

Although I was the oldest in our group, I was still young enough to be considered socially competent.

So, that’s a bit unfair… … .

anyway.

“The accommodations are really nice. But aren’t they all fully booked right now?”

“Oh, that’s true. Haha! But if you’re Mr. Cheon’s grandson, you should leave it alone. It’s still open here.”

“iced coffee.”

Since it is the opening period, they do not take reservations and only accept guests who are friends, acquaintances, or by invitation. This was easy to understand because I did this a lot when I was working at the company.

“I think things will go well because the location is good.”

“Well… … That’s right. Haha!”

Huh? What the. I was just saying thank you for lending me your accommodations… … .

The owner hesitated for a moment, then pretended not to notice and smiled.

What does that mean?

I don’t know if there’s a problem or what.

“Please unpack your luggage here. If you would like to light a fire in the evening, please let us know in advance. You can also use the brazier if you ask. Oh, and both the outdoor and indoor pools can be used at night, so feel free to use them. There are only our group here today.”

“thank you.”

“Haha. Then, take it easy and go.”

After the owner explained this and that to me and gave me his contact information, he left.

After looking at the scene for a moment, I turned my eyes towards the accommodation.

I don’t see any particular problems.

The owner’s aura isn’t that bad either.

‘Well, it’s nothing serious, I guess.’

I decided to unpack for now.

“There are a lot of rooms. We can use them one by one.”

“Yes, that’s right. This is my first time staying in a place like this.”

Suho also nodded at Kang Do-yoon’s words.

That too, violently.

“I wish the accommodations we use for field training were like this.”

“ah.”

Is he going to training soon?

That training camp is probably much worse than this one.

Suddenly, I remembered the military and unconsciously patted Suho on the shoulder.

Of course, that was only for a moment.

“Mister!! Wow! This is nice too!”

Because I quickly lost consciousness when Su-ah barged in.

I need to quickly get that guy out of his way and go play.

Now that the driving was over, it was a real vacation.
