chapter 111
I pressed the elevator button and folded my arms. Ruri, I don’t know what to do with this guy.
I don’t want to be stingy with only a hundred won for a bottle of yogurt, but what if I eat it so much that I collapse like a foolish bear?
My heart weakens because I remember looking at you sadly, but I have to hold on to it.
“Team 2, what are you worried about at home?”
The manager of the operation team is smiling and talking to each other. I was walking around with a dazed mind before arriving at the office.
It was also in the office of the operation team, not the second team.
Why am I here?
At night, because of Ruri, everyone in the family had an emergency and couldn’t sleep. I’ve only slept for 2 hours and my head is spinning.
“Hey, it’s been a while since the sun has risen, but you’re still out of your mind. It’s hot pot coffee, so please try this. Before the manager became a manager, he was a barista, so I don’t know if he would like it.”
“All coffee is the same coffee.”
I got a coffee from the operation team leader and sip it. It feels like oxygen is rushing into my head that wasn’t spinning.
Ah, now I remembered.
I came here to find out which dungeon Han Yoo-jung would go into.
“I came here because of the dungeon gun. I wonder if there are any investment companies that are planning a strategy these days. Did you receive any investment proposals or castings from the company?”
“Are you Han Yoo-jung?”
Since there is only one hunter in charge of me, Han Yu-jeong, if I pretend to be the manager of the operation team, I pretend.
Suddenly, my eyes shifted to the partition that was built in the position of the head of the operation team. A picture was hung. He is the same age as Ruri.
“Are you raising children?”
The manager of the operation team smiles mischievously.
“I am 7 years old. Cute, right?”
It’s cute though.
It seemed that I now knew the hardship behind it.
“I am also taking care of my 7-year-old nephew for a while. Suffering was no joke. I went to the emergency room last night while eating yogurt.”
“yes? The ER for yogurt? How much did you eat?”
As soon as I start talking, the operation team leader gets excited and sits down. Seriously, even the cafe owner was excited when he talked about childcare. Even though my daughter is now entering high school.
It seems that men who raise children at home have something in common.
“It’s enough to make a separate bin for yogurt. I ate too much lactic acid bacteria and collapsed, so I was terrified when I came out today. I’m going to check the number of yogurts when I get home, so don’t eat it.”
“ah.”
The operation team leader makes a sad face.
“He was the same age as Ha-eun, wasn’t he?”
“Are you Ha-eun?”
who is that
“It’s our kid’s name. Team 2’s nephew is also seven years old, right?”
“yes.”
“Hey. Team leader, don’t you know the seven-year-old who wants to kill the ugly four-year-old?”
“Did there ever be such a bloody word in Korea?”
“This is common all over the world. Toddler makes me want to grab one, and once I start rolling my head, I can’t stop it. The children’s obsession is much stronger than I thought.”
‘You haven’t been through the seven-year-old you want to kill yet,’ he sighed and his tongue twitched.
“You would never hear me say that.”

There was one thing Ruri learned from Kim Hyun-woo.
‘It’s called crawling forward… So, to put it simply, it crawls on the ground.’
Recalling her memories at the gate, Ruri crawled on the floor. How did Kim Hyun-woo do it? He paid attention to the gaze of the monsters and thoroughly concealed it.
Ruri, hiding under the table, swept the floor with her elbow and headed for her destination. When I walked, the distance I had just walked away was like a thousand miles away.
He bumped the chair’s leg and elbow, and slammed his knee into the sink, but Ruri silently endured the pain and crawled on the floor.
And when children’s clothes are drenched in sweat from vigorous exercise.
Finally arrived in front of the refrigerator.
Ruri carefully opened the refrigerator door. White smoke and cold energy swept over his face softly.
Ruri looked around and stretched out her arms. There was yogurt over there.
out of reach
“Wow!”
Ruri jumped from her seat. It was barely able to reach the yogurt.
“Hey, no luck.”
bean.
Ruri jumped again.
My fingertips brushed the yogurt.
bean.
Ruri jumped.
The yogurt he touched with his fingertips bounced off the wall of the refrigerator and fell to the floor. It was time to pick it up with a wide smile.
The shriveled body did not go down.
Ruri, hanging in the air, turned her head.
Han Yoo-jeong was holding Ruri’s side and staring intently.
Ruri laughed awkwardly and made excuses.
“Suddenly I want to eat kimchi… .”
“Your uncle said it. You can’t eat yogurt for a while.”
“Yes.”
*
square, square.
The sound of a pencil taking notes.
The dictation practice room was full of dark letters. Ruri was writing carefully, stroke by stroke, then glanced at the notebooks piled up on the desk.
An easy-to-learn vocabulary dictionary for children, Alphabet blink notes, addition and subtraction workbooks, dictation exercises, and more.
There were piles of things to do. It wasn’t because Han Yoo-jung’s passion for education was high.
The vocabulary dictionary and dictation were done by Kim Hyun-woo, and the alphabetical notes and addition and subtraction are almost all gone now.
There were still multiplication and division left, but for now, I was only holding on to what Kim Hyeon-woo told me to do. Since I was young, I had never received a separate education, so I had a lot to learn.
If you get over 80 points in the addition and subtraction problem book, you get a yogurt. The same was true for dictation and vocabulary.
But now they don’t serve yogurt.
It was clearly a breach of contract.
“… !!!”
Ruri threw a pencil on the floor while practicing dictation.
“Hey, I don’t feel like doing it at all! What do you do when you get over 80? They don’t even serve yogurt!”
Ruri put her interlaced hands on the back of her head and lay flat on the floor. There was a warm smell of Han Yoo-jung in the room. In fact, the two of them lived together in Han Yoo-jung’s room, leaving Ruri’s room empty.
But, as to why Han Yu-jeong couldn’t be seen, she had Ruri study and went down to the underground training ground.
I couldn’t even take it out and eat it. I’ve tried more than ten times already, but all failed. How the heck did he know, if he went near the refrigerator, he came out of nowhere and stopped Ruri.
Ruri, who was crazy thinking up to that point, got up from her seat. And carefully looked through Han Yoo-jung’s drawer.
Beep!
After unlocking the phone, Ruri searched the phone book and called Hyun-Woo Kim. A low, soft voice replied.
– Yoojung-ah, what’s going on?
“Dad, I’m Ruri.”
– Ruri? Why are you on Yoojung’s cell phone? .
“I’m talking on the phone secretly from my mother. You have to listen and don’t stop.”
Kim Hyun-woo could not hide his bewildered tee.
– No matter what, you shouldn’t secretly touch Yoojung’s cell phone.
“It doesn’t matter now!”
Ruri bent her little back and asked.
“Can’t you tell Mom to give me one yogurt? Even if I try to eat it secretly, I keep cutting it like a knife. Mom listens to Dad.”
– Is it Yoojung?
“Yeah, one is fine. please.”
– You’re doing just as Yoojung told you to. Don’t think about it and don’t eat it. I quit because I have to work.
drop!
Hyunwoo Kim hung up the phone. Ruri hurriedly called the other person.
[Madame]
The call connected with a few ringing tones.
-hello? what did you call
“Jia! I am Ruri.”
– Seruri? You should call me sister. Why do I always call him by his first name while Hyeonu calls him Daddy? Hyunwoo and I are the same age. You told me to call you sister before.
Ruri bent her little back.
“I’m going to call you sister, so can’t you just tell Dad to give me one piece of yogurt? Daddy listens to you.”
I can feel a sign of concern over the handset.
-Um, it’s a bit harsh to call her sister.
“to do?”
-Don’t you remember going into the emergency room with me yesterday? I have the same thoughts as Hyunwoo. Not for a while.
“Hey, Lee Ji-ah!”
drop.
Ignoring Ruri’s urgent voice, the phone hung up. Ruri looked through the phone book again.
-hello?
“Yerim, I’m Ruri.”
– Hyeonu and Jia didn’t work.
drop.
Ruri shrugged her shoulders and sat down at the desk.
And unwittingly, he opened a picture diary. The paper was lightly painted with crayons. The crooked lines characteristic of a child were painted with color.
During the whole series of processes.
In Ruri’s pupil, a dawn that is hard to believe was born.
If a priest saw it, it would have been said that the Holy Spirit resided, if a shaman saw it, it would have said that it was covered in ears, and if a shaman saw it, it would have been expressed that the spirit healed it.
In the legends of all countries, east and west, there was a common miracle of the transcendents.
Resurrection and Prophecy.
A half penny miracle appeared along the tip of the crayon.
* * *
At some point, the presence in the room became quiet.
Han Yoo-jung opened the door gently.
Ruri was lying face down on the desk. Hearing the sound of his breathing, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. She approached carefully, erasing the signs so as not to wake the sleeping child.
Looking at the open dictation notes, I felt sorry for nothing. Han Yoo-jung ran her fingers through Ruri’s shaggy hair.
Ruri, who had been sleeping, loosened her grimacing expression as if she was in a good mood. Han Yoo-jung whispered in Ruri’s ear.
“I should have lunch.”
“Wow!”
Surprised, Ruri jumped up.
“Hey, lunch? Is it lunch already?”
“yes.”
“How about yogurt?”
“no. You told me not to give it to you.”
“really?”
“Even if the sky splits in two.”
Ruri got limp and organized her notebook.
Then, all of a sudden, Han Yoo-jung’s eyes turned to the picture diary. The only director of the picture diary was Kim Hyeon-woo, and Han Yoo-jung wanted to respect her personal life as much as possible, but she had no choice but to come into view.
And her shoulders stiffened at the written content.
[Mom suddenly disappeared while I was sleeping! I was afraid of sleeping alone, so I went to my dad’s room, and my mom was looking at my sleeping dad! I said it was a secret!]
after a while.
Han Yoo-jung, who was creaking like a broken machine, let out a sigh.
“… … uh?”
With a red-hot face.
* * *
– You haven’t really gone through the seven-year-old you want to kill yet.
Driving back home, I remember the words of the operation team leader. He smiled and turned the steering wheel slowly.
It’s because I don’t know how meticulous Han Yoo-jung is. It’s not like I’m in a position to brag about entrusting a child to an 18-year-old girl, but I admire Han Yoo-jung’s ability to take care of her children.
Even though Ruri’s personality is very unique, she doesn’t show a single temperament.
It’s annoying, but I’m going to wash a raw boy, feed him, play with him, check his homework.
Even Ruri can’t move on to Han Yoo-jung.
Parked in the garage and got out of the driver’s seat. He blew a whistle and opened the front door. And Han Yoo-jung and her forehead bumped into each other.
“Ah, uncle.”
“Yoojung, why are you doing this? Doesn’t your forehead hurt?”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t want to, but I had no choice.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
Han Yoo-jung pulled my sleeve. ahhh I was dragged around like a paper doll. And he put his forehead on the scene he met in the living room.
“Is Daddy here?”
I couldn’t even hug him face to face with a bright greeting.
Ruri hurriedly threw the yogurt she was holding in her mouth. On the floor were all drunk bottles scattered around.
One, two, three… .
There are more than ten in the snow alone.
Did you drink all this alone?
“Yoojung, what’s going on with this now?”
Han Yoo-jung avoids her gaze.
“No, I can’t tell you.”
“No, I have to tell you what the situation is, so I… ..”
“As far as I can tell you, I would rather bite your tongue and die. really sorry.”
Han Yoo-jung fell to the floor and disappeared in an instant.
