Chapter 112 - Daddy with green eyes (2/2)
Kang Si An listens to their words. He glances at their hands. It agonizes him to watch. Can he exist every day seeing her belong to someone else? He doesn't know. He can only exist one moment at a time. She's with someone who wouldn't hurt her as he hurt her once.
”Son, come.” Kyuri's mother calls Yeom Young Hwa. ”Why are you still standing there?”
Yeom Young Hwa is touched by the way she called him. Kyuri walks along with him to her mother. Kang Si An looks at her back longingly. He has long lost the right to stand beside her.
Kyuri's family starts interrogating Yeom Young Hwa. He answers their questions well. Even Kwon Ki Hoon is satisfied with him as his brother in law. Little Hae climbs off her mother's ŀȧp and walks to Kang Si An sitting on the floor with despair in his eyes.
”Daddy, why are you sad?”
He raises his head and beams at her, hiding his pain deep inside him. ”I am no longer sad since you are here.”
”Little Hae, what are you doing here alone?” Ki Hoon squats down in front of her.
”Talking to...” She sees Kang Si An shaking his head. ”Uncle, it's a secret.”
”Secret?” Ki Hoon laughs. His niece already has secrets when she's not fully 3 years old yet. ”You are a lot like your mother. You are going to give her the same hell that she gave us.”
”I didn't give you any hell.” Kyuri pulls his ear. ”Why are you badmouthing me to my daughter?”
”Hey, who is the older sibling here? Don't pull my ear. It hurts.” Ki Hoon complains, but she doesn't let go of him. Little Hae glances at Kang Si An and then, at her mother. Can nobody else see her daddy?
Yeom Young Hwa leaves after dinner. Kyuri and Little Hae stay with her family. Young Hwa's parents are not back from the trip. So, they have to wait a while. Kyuri also wants to spend some time with her family and her daughter together.
”Daddy, Little Hae can't touch.” Little Hae tries to touch Kang Si An's arm. Her small hands pass through him. Kang Si An is miserable. He can't hold his flesh in his arms when she's approaching him like this.
Kyuri walks into the room at the same time. She sees Little Hae waving her hands in the air with a sad face. She can't understand what's going on. Little Hae seems to be talking to air sometimes.
Suspicious, she grabs Little Hae's wrist and concentrates. She can't sense any ability. Then, why is her daughter acting strange?
”Little Hae, are you hiding something from me?” She asks her daughter sternly.
Little Hae looks at Kang Si An who shakes his head. ”Daddy said that it's a secret.”
”Young Hwa did?” She frowns at her. What kind of secret can he have with her daughter? Her daughter is acting strange.
Little Hae shakes her head. ”Other daddy.”
”Little Hae, don't say that,” Kang Si An tells her with a small voice. ”I want to stay beside you. Your mother won't let me stay if she finds out.”
”Huh?” Kyuri is flabbergasted. What other daddy? As much as she knows, there is Kang Si An and Yeom Young Hwa. Did her daughter pick up the third daddy from somewhere?
”Who is your other daddy?”
Little Hae blinks at Kang Si An, wondering what to say. She wants him to stay beside her. She also doesn't want to lie to her mother. Her little head is full of dilemma.
”Little Hae?” Kyuri pulls her on her ŀȧp. ”Tell me. I am your mother. I won't scold you You can tell me anything.”
”Daddy with green eyes.” Little Hae runs away after revealing the secret.
