A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 197
Inside the room where four people sat facing each other.
“This can’t be true…”
Jeongmyeongja repeatedly clenched and released the handkerchief in her hand.
“So you’re saying he came yesterday evening? To the hospital where sister is…”
“That’s what I said! How many times are you going to ask? Now you’re just being noisy!”
At Chaeboksu’s hasty interruption, Jeongmyeongja closed her mouth.
Chaeboksu let out a sigh and lowered her voice.
“…I don’t know the details either. Kim’s mind comes and goes, so what can you expect.”
Jeongmyeongja, who had been biting her lip tightly, finally burst into tears.
“Then, what should we do about our Tie, sob, now?”
She wiped her reddened eyes with her handkerchief.
“How much she must have suffered, and her father is sick… After the child disappeared like that, of course it’s fortunate that nothing worse happened but…”
At the sight of the sobbing Jeongmyeongja, Tie’s eyes drooped sadly.
Tie fidgeted restlessly before sitting down next to Jeongmyeongja.
“Aunt. Tie is okay.”
The child awkwardly embraced Jeongmyeongja with clumsy hands.
“Tie really didn’t suffer… I was fine with Father. So please don’t cry… okay?”
Jeongmyeongja wiped away her tears and quickly nodded.
Then with trembling hands, she repeatedly stroked Tie’s head.
“Oh my, Aunt won’t cry. I’m just happy to see our Tie. But how did you come with Father? Did you find your way home alone? Where have you been staying all this time, hmm?”
Tie couldn’t answer and kept her mouth shut.
The child’s eyebrows drooped.
‘I want to tell Aunt and Grandmother everything.’
But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t do that.
What had happened in Apartment 106 a few months ago.
How she ended up going to Talochium, how she met Father, and how she came back here again. The portal that had opened last night flickered before her eyes.
[Tie! You must always be careful!]
Now she could feel it just by looking at his eyes.
How much Basto was worried about Tie.
And that wasn’t all.
[Don’t skip meals either!]
[Miss! Miss!]
Veil, who had looked after Tie’s meals even in urgent moments.
Even Livia, who had desperately searched for Tie while calling her by strange titles.
‘And Princess, the Association Leader, and Uncle Leonard too, everyone at the stronghold is waiting for Tie.’
While embracing Jeongmyeongja’s neck, the child looked up glumly.
She could see the orb that had been spinning around above her head since last night.
The orb that had been transparent just last night had now turned a faint gold color at the bottom.
According to Marul, that meant Tie’s magic power was being safely charged inside the orb.
“Actually…”
Just as the child who had been keeping silent difficultly parted her lips.
Bang bang bang-!
Suddenly the iron door shook violently.
Jeongmyeongja, startled, dropped the handkerchief she was holding.
Tie, equally startled, instinctively ran to Father.
As if waiting, a heavily drunk voice came from beyond the iron door.
“Hey! Open the door!”
Jeongmyeongja let out a short sigh.
“I know you’re in there, so come out! If you don’t come out right now, hiccup, I’m really going to turn this whole place upside down!!”
An umbrella that Chaeboksu had set up flew into the opaque entrance glass.
“Open it! Hey, open it!”
Held in Father’s arms, Tie blinked her frightened eyes.
The voice was somehow familiar.
“Aunt…”
The child, who had been pondering, called to Jeongmyeongja.
As far as Tie knew, that man was someone who didn’t usually come to Gold Apartment Complex often.
The uncle from Unit 203 who was always busy with outside work.
A bad neighbor who was quiet when sober, but whom you should avoid getting close to when he smelled of alcohol.
‘Sometimes he yells and curses at Aunt…’
“Come here, come here!”
At that moment, 107 Grandmother hurriedly made the father and daughter stand up.
Grandmother pushed Tie and Tesetan into the small restroom attached to the side of the room.
“Stay quiet.”
She placed her index finger on her lips and quickly closed the restroom door.
Soon the sound of the iron door opening could be heard from outside.
“Are you crazy! Why are you throwing umbrellas at other people’s doors!”
“Grandma! Grandma, you really shouldn’t… hiccup! No!”
“What do you mean no!”
“That woman slept here again yesterday, didn’t she? Didn’t she?!”
At the voice that echoed throughout the entire alley, Jeongmyeongja whimpered.
“I said no…! I just stopped by briefly while grocery shopping. I was going to go up right away. Let’s go, hurry!”
“Let go!”
There was a sound of something crashing down.
Tie’s pupils trembled as she looked at the light streaming through the crack in the door.
“This is all because of you! Because of you, bad luck stuck to me and ruined my whole life! How dare you think about leaving me? How dare you?”
“Please stop!”
“You can’t go. I’ll never give you a divorce even if I die. Come out here right now!”
The sound of 203 Aunt being dragged away followed by 107 Grandmother chasing after them continued.
“I’m calling the police! I really will call them!”
The iron door slammed shut with a thud.
Only then did Tie slowly blink her eyes.
Tesetan unconsciously wrapped his hand around the child’s hand.
The child was clenching her fist so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
The cool restroom.
With only the sound of water droplets falling quietly echoing, Tie muttered.
“…It’s because of Tie.”
The child’s eyes were already brimming with tears.
“That man came because Tie left.”
The fact that the man from Unit 203 had dirty hands was something everyone in the alley knew.
Nevertheless, when Tie and Tesetan lived in Apartment 106, his violence was considerably less.
There were police officers who occasionally came to the alley to check on Tie, and most importantly, the man from Unit 203 was secretly afraid of Father.
‘But Father disappeared too, and Tie suddenly left as well.’
Her small back finally began to shake.
“Because Tie abandoned this place and left… 203 Aunt is.”
Countless Mastones conquered after becoming the Sorcerer King came to mind.
Tie had earned tons of gold during that time, made donations, and even distributed Tanifang dolls to new friends at the Preparatory School.
“But that wasn’t the time for such things.”
Tie was a fool.
With the power that came like a gift one day, all she had done was such trivial things.
More importantly, there were things she should have taken care of and looked after first.
“Grandmother too…”
Tears rolled down the child’s cheeks.
“Grandmother is sick too.”
Grandmother had said no.
She said the reason for her constant coughing was because food went down the wrong way.
But even young Tie could no longer remain oblivious.
The hat she never took off, even when sleeping.
The coughing that happened all the time.
The smell of medicine that wafted from her body whenever she went out.
And finally,
‘So you’re saying she came yesterday evening? Sister, to the hospital…’
Even the word ‘hospital’ that 203 Aunt had mentioned earlier.
“Tie is such a fool…”
The child’s lips trembled with tears.
“Tie is unlucky!”
Grandmother looked like a patient.
People just like Grandmother always appeared in the insurance commercials that came on after music programs.
The narration always repeated only similar words.
Only scary words like ‘cancer,’ ‘funeral,’ and ‘death.’
“Tie didn’t even know that. Just kept pestering for fried chicken…!”
Pearl-like tears dripped down the child’s cheeks.
However.
“Tie will cure her.”
The next moment, Tie quickly wiped her eyes.
In the child’s eyes as she raised her head again, a certain resolve was forming.
“Tie will cure both Aunt and Grandmother.”
At the same time, the surrounding temperature immediately turned cool.
The restroom window rattled from the sharp wind that blew through the alley.
