Chapter 33 (1/2)
In Kaya’s childhood, there was not even a spoon worth of peace
Also she didn’t have a father Her mother, Grace, said that her father left the house when she was young And when Kaya became 6 years old, a man appeared next to Grace She doesn’t rely deep and blue Grace said that he was her father Because Grace’s eyes were brown, and Kaya’s were blue, she didn’t even doubt that he was her real father
Of course, that trust didn’t get her any rewards One day, that fake father fought with Grace inside the house and broke all of the furnitures, and after that, he didn’t show hi inside the mother’s womb
She doesn’t remember the details, but she did re at that moment Maybe, the existence of Kaya hat drove her to keep working for her sake, but was she not enough? Kaya still re alone with her face buried on a pillow in a dark roo that soothed Grace wasn’t her tears, but alcohol Fortunately there were no injections She would mostly drink cheap beer until she fell asleep because of the alcohol
Was it because of the alcohol? Or was it because of the bad luck that followed her everywhere? The child Grace gave birth to after the intense pain, Kaya’s sister, was disabled Cerebral paralysis Looking at that child who couldn’t even move her body as she wanted, no, that couldn’t evenpainted with dirty ink
After coo to the market instead of her house It wasn’t that she hated that Just like any child from any unlucky family, Kaya too, couldn’t help but mature early on She was poor and didn’t have any proper skills, and herthe market A disabled sister that if left alone, would have no way to live on To grumble about her life, reality was too harsh
But not because of that did she take life as a happy thing It was a life where she was resigned to live properly and was being dragged Her character was harsh, and herat the annoyed faces of theand playing, the awl in her heart got sharper And that awl even made her drop out fro I can properly do is cooking”
In front of the ca her mouth Martin asked silently
“How did you start cooking?”
“I wanted to eat delicious things Like I told you before, our house is poor I brought back ingredients that couldn’t be sold to the custo flavor But fortunately, I had talent Because I wanted to make the flavor at least a little bit better, I ran all around the place, and I got to kno to make it taste better My mother and sister liked it”
“You must have been happy”
“Happy… Yes, of course I was happy But putting aside all of those feelings, cooking was like a respirator for , it was like that when I ate delicious food Taking care ofmy mother, the illness that makes your body ache like an old ht that was the only reason for me to live, it was a ti aside that she was talking about that calmly, it’s contents were dark It couldn’t even be said that it was an exaggeration If you have lived that kind of life since small, then you could only think like that
“I dropped out from middle school halfway Because the medicine fee for ht on money with just that In the first place, I wouldn’t be able to go to college if I kept on going to school, so I just wanted to work”
“……It must have been a difficult decision”
“Difficult decision? I wonder The moment I dropped, I even felt a sense of freedom Even so, that wasn’t a place where I could be in I wanted to rip people’s mouths when they were in a bad mood just because of puberty when they didn’t even have any kind of probleht? The mouth of the joker is ripped Yeah, like that”
Kaya pulled the end of her lips with her fingers and laughed while snapping it Martin laughed and gave hand signals in his back He had to cut that part This excessive behavior wouldn’t be accepted well by the viewers Martin changed subjects If it was this h
“Is there anyone you are close with?”
“No”
Kaya replied without thinking for even a et perplexed He didn’t think that she would obediently name someone, but for her to say that she didn’t have any that bluntly, he didn’t even iine it Martin opened his mouth
“No, isn’t there some people you are close with? Like Marco, Minjoon, Chloe Aren’t you close with them?”
“Yes I’hed aardly and kept talking
“No, why… Nowadays you are rather close You eat together, and hang together That’s being close”
“Is the word ‘close’ that light? At least we don’t know a thing about each other, we have to perfectly trust each other to be close”
“Then does thatcloser?”
“That…”
Kaya frowned as if soht lips were shut for a while, and then opened However the words that flowed through her weren’t the words Martin had wanted
“Let’s go with another question”
“…Is there a reason that it makes you difficult to answer?”
However Martin was experienced If you got a hold of soo Kaya looked at hi PD was sos and rose to that position Martin’s life also wasn’t an easy one for a teen to look at hih, and replied with a softer voice
“Fine I will talk It’s because it’s ee To show affection to someone else…”
“No It’s not that”
Kaya interrupted Martin Looking at the dumfounded expression, Kaya bit her lips and said
“The process of getting closer I had e 18 Life seems short but it’s not really I have etting closer, I had it And there’s not a tih I pretended to be close, in the end, they all left”
“… … …”
Martin couldn’t reply anything back He knew that at thisfor the sake of the broadcast But Kaya’s eyes were really sad She seemed like a little child that just became an adult To ask her to reveal
“Perhaps it’s because they think that s Even so, the conclusion is the saets close to anybody But just because I say that we are a bit close right nohether it’s a process or not, it just gets ain”
Martin, and the author that was next to hi Kaya let out a smile It was a provocative and confident smile, but Martin felt that s, you got that right?”
