Chapter 15
For Daoxian, who only lives in the ward, this is a huge shock.
Dohyun followed his parents into the house. I don’t know if all the furniture has been arranged, but the warm beige series of furniture is decorating the house emotionally.
The spacious living room with a wall-mounted TV and the kitchen with an Irish dining table may have been intended to be used as a study. After visiting the room filled with bookcases and the warm room with a bed and table, I went up to this floor.
Unlike the first floor, which was arranged compactly, this one is more neatly arranged.
Dohyun saw the room decorated with dark blue and soft tones of sky as the center. The purpose may not have been determined yet. He saw the empty room and visited the attic covered with soft rubber. He came to the first floor again.
"Are there too many rooms?"
In response to Daoxian's question, Xu Huina smiled.
"The house is a bit big, but it's the closest to the school among nice houses, so there's nothing we can do about it. If there is a spare room, I can consider using it somewhere and you can fill it in. So, have you decided which room you want to use?"
Daoxian, who had already made up his mind, nodded.
"This is the room upstairs that connects to the attic. I want to use it there, is that okay?"
The moment I saw the loft, Dohyun's heart was completely stolen away.
The wide windows and the soft raga spread on the ground looked like the perfect secret base.
Even if it's not the loft, I like the soft and soft sky blue Colorful decorated room
"Well, just use that room."
Seo Hyena and Li Changhyuk took Dohyun's luggage and went up to the second floor. Seo Hyena said as she folded Dohyun's clothes and put them in the drawer to organize.
"I didn’t know which room to use, so I just bought basic furniture. I can buy it tomorrow if I need it, okay?"
OK, it does not matter
"Have you had dinner?"
When I asked, Xu Huina was very nervous. Because if I haven't eaten yet, I would think about what to buy.
I thought of the food that the children like.
"Where are the gourmet restaurants around?"
Remembering the restaurant that Xu Huina had searched for in advance, Daoxian's answer came back.
Yes, I have eaten.
The time when Daoxian's parents came to the hospital was 7 o'clock. The time for dinner in the hospital was 6 o'clock, so Daoxian had already Have had dinner
"There is no need to worry."
Seo Hyena swallowed a breath of inexplicable regret and emptiness.
"That’s it, do you need anything else?"
"Yes."
After asking all the questions, there is nothing left to say.
The three families have now fallen into a familiar silence.
"Then...then, will mom and dad pack the remaining luggage and rest in the room?"
Is it okay to rest alone while your parents pack their luggage?
I know your small body won't do much for you, but so does staying quietly.
In order to ask if you need help, Dohyun, who raised his head, saw that he looked uncomfortable parents. And I realized that my parents were just as embarrassed about the situation as I was.
"Don't do things that make each other uncomfortable and just be quiet."
Dohyun thought so and spoke.
"Okay, then I'll rest in the room"
"Okay, I get it, you are tired too, take a good rest."
Li Changhyuk walked out of the room, and Seo Huina looked back when he followed him out.
Seo Huina and Dohyun's eyes met.
"Tomorrow morning...can you wake me up?"
"ah……"
The panicked Dohyun couldn't answer, and Seo Hyena's face became a little blurry.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't disgusted.
Do Hyun has lived alone since he was very young.
It is a matter of course that you do it yourself without the help of others, such as waking up, eating, and bathing.
Although I wanted to refuse, my mother’s expression caught my attention
"We will always live together in the future."I should be used to it."
Dohyun, who judged this way, said it didn't matter, and Seo Hyena's face brightened.
Seo Huina seemed to have made up her mind as she closed the door, her expression was firm.
Regret is out of character for her. During the time of regret, I have to think about what I should do in the future.
The next day, Seo Hye-na grabbed her trembling heart and went to wake up Do-hyun, but Do-hyun was already up.
After ending the awkward morning greetings and having an awkward breakfast, I walked to the shopping mall to buy the things I needed.
Whether it was buying kitchen tableware, bedding, or buying his own clothes, Daoxian, who didn't show much interest, stopped in a corner.
[Seo Hye-na, who was watching Do-hyun carefully at Taylors
, immediately noticed where Do-hyun was looking.
"Want to visit here?"
Faced with Seo Hye-na's question, Do-hyun hesitated. Seo Hye-na strode into the store first. Do-hyun, who followed Seo Hye-na in confusedly, opened her mouth in a low voice to the world in front of her.
Seo Hye-na seemed interested in everyone. She looked like a girl but didn't move easily. Xu Huina picked up a book and pretended to read it.
"I want to read a book here, Dohyun. If you also have a book you want to read, I'm picking it up."
"There are a lot of things to buy today……"
"That dad can just buy it. Dad picks things more carefully than mom."
Said Huina Xu looked at Li Changhe
"Wife, do you remember what we need?"
Li Changhe nodded quickly with stern eyes.
"I'll go and buy. Choosing books with Do Hyun here."
Xu Huina turned around, looked at Daoxian and grinned.
"Did you hear that? Let’s pick out books here. Leave the shopping to Dad."
Unconsciously, Doxian blinked when he saw where his father disappeared with the cart.
It was completely different from the way Doxian had always imagined his parents to look like.
Different from the stepmother in"Snow White", and also different from the"Damien""Sinclair's parents are different.
For the first time, Daoxian has the feeling of facing his parents correctly.
Xu Huina unknowingly changed the corner of the book and was reading various books.
Daoxian who was following Xu Huina also unconsciously I started to read books.
For Do-hyun, the space with the most books was the library in the hospital. A bookstore five times larger than that kind of library was nothing short of a new world.
Do-hyun was shocked by something new.
"I thought I read a lot, but no."
If you go to the hospital library, there is no book that Dohyun doesn't know. But now, it is even harder to find books that Dohyun knows.
There are books everywhere that he has seen for the first time.
Unknowingly, Dohyun, with sparkling eyes, begins to Actively read books.
In order not to be disturbed by Do-hyun like this, Seo Hye-na stayed away and looked at Do-hyun.
One day, I heard from the caretaker that I like to read books.
"I didn't expect you to like it so much."
The child's eyes looking at the book are like the Milky Way flowing in the universe.
Do-hyun, who is full of life, is so cute that people can't help but take away their eyes.
Seo Hye-na made up her mind to stuff the book into the room full of empty bookshelves.
On the other hand, Do-hyun Can't hide my excitement
"This one should be interesting. Wow SF? Ah, science fiction?"
There are interesting books everywhere.
If it weren't for Do Hyun's Memories of Jung Hee Sung, there are many types of books that I don't know what they are. They all looked interesting, so it was hard to choose. I finally walked out of the science fiction counter with a book. Do Hyun found a familiar name
"It turns out there are also works written by Hermann Hesse."
Dohyun was pleased with the familiar author's name found among the unfamiliar books, so he picked up the book.
Unknowingly, the number of books in his arms began to increase by two.
He saw the heavy weight on his arms. The weight made Dohyun stop.
"Can you choose so many?"
I was thinking about getting a few more books, and looked around and saw a sign.
"oh! Recommended work this month?"What book is it?"
The blushing Daoxian quickened his pace.
Then he didn't notice the person in front of him and bumped into him.
Dudu-
Dohyun, listless from the sudden shock, missed the book in his hand. The panicked Daoxian lowered his body in order to pick up the fallen book, and heard a childish and evil voice above his head from nowhere.
"ah."
It took a moment to realize that Daoxian, who was calling him, raised his head ambiguously.
His hair seemed to be cut casually, and his eyes looked fierce. A young boy with rough black skin that looked like he had been tanned by the sun. , glared at Dohyun fiercely
"Um?"
Seemingly dissatisfied with Dohyun's rhetorical question, he looked down at Dohyun
"As a human being, don’t you even apologize?"
"ah!"
Daoxian realized his mistake. He was focused on the fallen book and forgot to hit the person.
Daoxian said apologetically
"sorry."
Mike looked a little flustered when he apologized to Dohyun with an angular posture.
No matter what he said, I wanted to grasp the handle, but this is a very solemn apology.
Mike did not answer any questions, Dohyun straightened his back Looked at Mike with worried eyes
"Are there any injuries?"
"So hope to get hurt?"The words reached Mike, who was at the end of his neck, unable to say mocking words to Dohyun's face, which looked at him with a kind face.
"Is this what children are like these days?"
For Mike, Doxian's solemn attitude was the first time. He had only seen children crying with runny noses and children rushing over like food.
In fact, Mike felt that from the moment Doxian walked into the bookstore , I realized it.
What's even harder is not to show a huge presence alone and focus on the sparkling child.
Only other air seems to be flowing around the child.
This is Mike's belief that there are only people in the world who want to be special, and there is no The moment when a special person's faith collapses.
Not only that, his eyes are attracted to Dohyun. Most of the people in the bookstore are glancing at Dohyun.
No matter who is looking, Mike's face has a soft blush, and he is concentrating on reading. The look made him uneasy.
No matter who looked at him, he thought he looked cute and beautiful, so he felt uncomfortable in his stomach.
Seeing that face crooked and crying loudly, he felt much better.
So he didn't avoid it on purpose. Instead, he bumped into Doxian directly.
But the young master who was so panicked that he was about to cry was only interested in the fallen book. Mike, whose self-esteem was damaged, diverted his attention and immediately apologized.
Everything was unexpected by Mike. Development.
The black glass ball-like eyes illuminated himself transparently. Somehow, Mike became empty. Anyway, he was a person who had nothing to do with Mike and lived in another world.
You could tell he was a high-end person at a glance. clothes
"Looking for trouble for no reason, not even the capital was found."
Mike shook his head
"Okay, let's go"
"What?"
Mike didn't answer, but patted Doxian's shoulder. Instantly, Doxian's body tilted and when he grabbed the center and stood up, his pulse became distant.
"…What's coming?"
The confused Daoxian stood blankly and found the books scattered on the ground.
"ah!"I need to pick up the book!"
Dohyun picked up the book as he finished what happened just now in his mind.
On the other hand, Seo Huina swept away her surprise.
Seo Hye Na, who has been paying attention to Do Hyun, is paying attention to everything that just happened.
Xu Huina thought it was not good for adults to interfere in the affairs between children, but when she really met her son, she was worried and on tenterhooks.
Fortunately, the conflict seemed to be resolved without any major problems.
On the one hand, I am satisfied with Do-hyun's mature way of coping, but on the other hand, I have mixed feelings because I know where the childlike composure comes from.
Seo Hye Na naturally walked towards Do Hyun
"Have you chosen a lot of books?"
Dohyun, who took this month's recommended works seriously, raised his head.
Seo Hyena was holding a light book in her hand.
Putting down the book in her arms, Dohyun whispered
"Several books... Do you want to put them back in their original places?"
Seo Hye-na quickly responded to Do-hyun's words.
"No! Write now too!"
"Less?"
So far, Daoxian has selected and selected 6 books. Daoxian took turns to read the book in Xu Huina's hand and the book in his own hand.
"Have you seen the study room on the first floor? Isn't it empty there? If you want to fill it up, you will have to buy more for a long time."
Dohyun thought of the room full of empty bookshelves, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"Well, can you fill it all up?"
"certainly! That's why we have rooms like this."
Seo Huina rubbed her eyes with one hand.
In an instant, she seemed to see the flapping ears on the top of Dohyun's head.
Fortunately, Dohyun's head was very clean when she saw it again. The white and soft face like glutinous rice cake looked up at Seo Hyena
"Whose child is so cute?"Did it fall from the sky?"
When Xu Huina was thinking deeply, Daoxian's face became clearer.
"Can I choose a few more books?"
"good……"
Xu Huina picked up her phone and confirmed the time.
Before I knew it, it was time for lunch
"Let’s have lunch first. I heard there is a famous restaurant here. Do you like seafood?"
Dohyun, who had forgotten how hungry he was, was shocked when he saw it was past 12 o'clock.
"When did it take so long?"
