Episode 75

“Honey, I made delicious food for you. Ah, try some.”

Haesoo, wearing an apron, holds out a spoon to me.

“Is it hot? I’ll blow on it for you.”

And he pretended to blow on it.

“Waaah-“

Haedeun, who had been pretending to suck on a baby bottle, makes crying sounds.

When I stood up to escape this embarrassing meal scene, Haesoo stopped me.

And he said while raising the tips of his cute eyebrows upward.

“Honey, you stay put. I’ll take care of the baby.”

“Oh, okay….”

I stared blankly at Haesoo’s back as he went to look after baby Haedeun.

‘By 1990s standards, this is quite a radical gender role, isn’t it?’

Haesoo is the father, yet he cooks and even takes care of the baby.

‘The president of Geumhae Construction must be quite the devoted husband.’

From Haesoo and Haedeun’s bright expressions without a single wrinkle of worry, and Haesoo acting like the world’s most caring father, I could guess the family atmosphere these children lived in.

And suddenly, one child came to mind.

“This damn woman needs to get beaten to come to her senses!”

I recalled Gi Min-woo’s voice when he tried to hit me at Edinburgh Kindergarten.

He had caused violence problems several times before, they said.

‘I wonder how that child is doing these days.’

While it was clearly wrong for him to try to lay hands on me, knowing what kind of person his father was, I couldn’t help but worry.

“Honey, are you done eating?”

“Yeah, I’ll do the dishes. Honey, you watch the baby.”

“Yes, honey.”

At Haesoo’s question as he was taking care of Haedeun, I picked up the empty toy dishes and went to the toy sink to pretend to wash them.

“Daddy, want snack.”

“No. Your teeth will all rot.”

“Waaah, waaah.”

“Crying won’t work either!”

The innocent conversation between the children behind me made me chuckle.

It was a peaceful afternoon.

Looking far outside the window, I could see Min-hyeok and Junho sitting on a bench in the garden, having a conversation.

Under the warm sunlight, the sight of two handsome, well-built men looked as cool as a scene from a photo shoot.

“Sleep, sleep.”

I could hear Haesoo putting Haedeun to sleep.

As I continued pretending to wash dishes while watching Min-hyeok and Junho for a while, Haesoo came up behind me and said.

“Honey, the baby is asleep.”

Haedeun was lying on his side like a real baby, sleeping soundly.

He actually put him to sleep?

“Oh, then how about you take a nap too, honey?”

Haesoo shook his head vigorously as if he didn’t like the idea and looked at me.

“No! We can finally be alone together.”

“Huh?”

* * *

“Shall we watch a movie?”

My surprise at Haesoo saying that with a shy face was brief.

Traveling with Woolly~

Wonderful countries made of A, B, C~

We were sitting side by side watching a videotape.

“This is really fun. I’ve watched it five times.”

“I see. I’ve seen this before too.”

The screen showed the nostalgic animated character Woolly walking through the Egyptian desert with animal friends.

“Really? When?”

“About 20 years ago, I think….”

“Huh?”

It was a Woolly episode that I had quite enjoyed in my childhood too.

The video cleaning tape with holes placed on top of the video, the CRT TV with an incredibly thick back – everything triggered memories.

“Haesoo will travel the world like Woolly later too.”

Watching Woolly and friends navigate through traps in the pyramid, Haesoo spoke with determination.

“I’ll build a really cool company in the desert too, and I’ve already decided on the name.”

“Really? What is it?”

“Yeah, actually I’m only telling you, Chaea….”

Haesoo leaned slightly toward me and whispered in my ear.

“Yusutia.”

At that name that suddenly came up, I opened my eyes wide and met Haesoo’s gaze.

“Yustia?”

Haesoo nodded vigorously with excited eyes.

“Yeah, I combined the first two letters of my favorite character’s name with my baptismal name. How is it?”

Yustia…?

He’s going to create Yustia later? This kid?

I couldn’t help but feel deeply confused.

To briefly introduce Yustia, it’s a Korean construction company established in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

With special technical skills, they’ve been handling construction projects for the Saudi royal family and earning considerable foreign currency.

Blake Han, the president of Yustia, was always creating buzz wherever he went with his smooth talking and handsome appearance.

While Kang Hee-jae was famous for his cold and inhumanly calculating personality, Blake Han was a sweet guy comparable to an idol who even managed his fans.

‘Because of Blake Han, there was even a trend of the desert wink challenge on social media, where people would wink while brushing sand off themselves.’

“You, you, what’s your English name!”

I jumped up and pointed at Haesoo with my index finger, asking urgently.

These kids also have American citizenship, I think they said.

“Haesoo’s English name?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s Blake, why?”

“Eek.”

“Haedeun always teases me calling me Brakey, but it’s B-L-A-K-E.”

“….”

I stared at Haesoo as if mesmerized.

This kid is that Blake Han?

“I can do anything for the person I love, but I didn’t know finding someone who meets my standards would be this difficult.”

One of the things Blake Han became famous for was appearing on a popular variety dating show and receiving unanimous votes from female contestants, only to reject them all during the final selection, causing a controversy about his sincerity.

This led to much debate in online communities about whether he came to promote his company, or whether Yustia was a company that didn’t need such promotion.

‘I also enjoyed watching that and criticized Blake Han saying why did he even appear if he was going to do that… so it was you!’

“Wait, then what about Haedeun? Don’t tell me Haedeun’s English name is….”

“Haedeun is Clara.”

Haedeun, who had been sleeping soundly, opened his eyes with a grin and told me, having woken up at some point.

Clara Han.

A person as famous as Blake Han, she was the founder of beauty brand Cloomis and also co-managed Yustia with her brother Blake Han.

She was a woman with a strong personality who gained public attention by knocking down a reporter who asked rude questions. The beauty brand Cloomis she established received passionate love from Hollywood MZ stars, and some products even experienced shortages.

‘I used Cloomis lip balm and hand cream too. That Cloomis belonged to Haedeun?’

I had only roughly guessed they were from a wealthy family since they were famous businesspeople, but to think they were Geumhae’s twins.

Perhaps because they didn’t particularly reveal to the media that they were children of Geumhae Construction, I didn’t know either.

In fact, since Geumhae wasn’t a large corporation or major construction company, I wasn’t really that interested in the children of that family.

“But why?”

“Why, Chaea?”

The two twins, unaware of their brilliant future, looked at me with endlessly clear eyes.

I stared at the children for a moment, then shook my head.

“No.”

There’s no need to reveal heavenly secrets about your future.

“Just, you’re growing up so well.”

“Hehe, am I taller than when we first met?”

“I’m 1 centimeter taller than Haesoo!”

“But Chaea is growing tall too!”

I tried to calm my shock.

These little kids who constantly beg me to play with them are those famous businesspeople.

Then, Haesoo quietly put his lips to my ear and whispered.

“You know. Keep what Haesoo said earlier a secret, okay?”

Looking at Haesoo, he smiles with his cute eyes forming crescent shapes.

“And…”

Haesoo continued whispering.

“I hope Chaea really becomes my honey later.”

Eek.

When I flinched at those words, Haedeun squeezed in between us.

“What are you whispering to Chaea like that!”

“Bleh, I won’t tell you.”

“Ugh, I’m going to whisper to Chaea too!”

Haedeun whispered softly into my other ear.

“Even when we’re older sister, I still want to keep playing with Chaea.”

After finishing his words, Haedeun interlocked his fingers with mine.

“We’re forever friends, Chaea.”
