Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

3 – She smells like alcohol

It has been two weeks since she returned.

Through TV, I also learned that I had returned to exactly 20 years ago.

And today is Saturday. The time is 6pm.

Lee Yoon-ah left her house long before she had gone to work.

It’s party time.

Today’s menu is leftover pig’s trotters and leftover vegetable scraps from bibim makguksu.

It is the delivery food that Yoona Lee ate and left over because her spending grew because it was the weekend.

You may think that you eat well just by eating pig’s feet, but in fact, it’s only a regular meal for 3 days.

Until yesterday, we shared Louis’s cat food, and thanks to that, I got diarrhea.

It is a bonus that Yoona Lee beat me for smelling in the bathroom.

“… I feel with my body what it is really delicious to tear up.”

Meat is meat, but vegetables are really precious food.

If you don’t eat for a long time, the balance of the body is broken, which seriously harms your health.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but I can feel the vivid sensation of vitamins and fiber being absorbed into my body.

While enjoying dinner, an intruder approached.

“Meow~”

“Hey, go away! You ate earlier. Where does the beast pay attention to the food that people eat!”

“The mandible-!”

What is this guy?

Louis gave a hiss.

She seems to be in a bad mood, she wondered if she forgot her grace for sharing her rice with her.

But I can’t yield either.

You should eat nutritious food when you can.

“Eight, eat this, you!”

I scooped up a handful of food and threw it across the living room.

Food spread like bullets in the empty living room.

Louis, as soon as the feed left my hand, she rushed out.

“Don’t leave anything behind, find it all and eat it. If Lee Yoon-ah came back and saw that there was no food left, would you kill me?”

“Meow~”

“Answer me very well.”

Well, what would you expect from such a beast?

I need to eat all of this and clean the living room floor.

“No, maybe I don’t care about the amount of food that has fallen off… no. Is there anything wrong with being careful?”

To be honest, I haven’t been hit by Lee Yoon-ah since I was beaten up for eating pizza the other day.

Lee Yoon-ah is basically not violent towards me.

Indifference is the default.

She doesn’t make a lot of noise when she sleeps, and if she doesn’t eat her food right in front of her eyes, she doesn’t get angry.

She doesn’t feed me or buy me new clothes.

In a word, neglect.

Neglect is also a form of child abuse, but to me it’s rather good.

If you are indifferent to me, there are many chances to escape.

‘But, Yoona, I should definitely avoid it when I’m drunk.’

She is usually indifferent, but she is different from Yoona Lee, who sometimes comes in drunk.

When I was drunk, that b*tch looked at me as soon as I caught my eye.

Even if I can’t see you, they open my door and come to see me.

So, when she was young, she always locked the door before sleeping.

On the first day she returned, she forgot it and slept with her door open, and was beaten up.

Her “I will rip all her disgusting hair out of her.”

Yoona Lee said that every time she was drunk.

I don’t know the circumstances, but I can roughly predict it.

Her hair color is different from Yoona Lee’s.

It must belong to her biological father.

Perhaps he betrayed Lee Yoon-ah in some way.

“But what does that have to do with me? It’s just an outburst of anger.”

You can sympathize with Lee Yoon-ah after hearing her circumstances, but you will never forgive her.

If you escape from this house, I will punish you no matter what you do, whether it is to be judged by the law.

“Uh, but for now, the police station around here won’t work. Not to mention that trash that lives next door, and the other people in this villa also um… “

In my previous life, when the police arrested the pig next door, they looked at my condition and pretended not to know.

I don’t know the details, but the police at the nearby police station will take Lee Yoon-ah’s side again.

Of course, the police may be able to help, but you cannot gamble with confidence.

Besides that, I’m not sure the other neighbors who live in this villa will help me either.

Even if it’s not to the extent that she’s targeting Yoona like that bastard next door, there’s a possibility of ignoring it to avoid trouble or asking Yoona to check it out first.

If Yoona Lee finds out, she will have her boiling oil poured over her face again.

… Ugh, the thought of that terrible pain gives me goose bumps and nausea.

“Once… I’ll have to go outside and check the geography around me. There must be places to get help other than the police station.”

The past two weeks have focused on understanding Lee Yoon-ah’s life patterns and recalling her memories.

Now is the time to move.

I washed my greasy hands and went out to the front door.

… But when I thought about it, there was nothing like my shoes.

Yuna Lee never bought me her shoes.

As far as I can remember, the first time Lee Yoon-ah brought her clothes and shoes was the day after her elementary school admission notice came.

She is the first gift she got from her mother!

I remember being so moved that I hugged her and slept with her, but thinking about it, that b*tch was probably just trying to avoid a nuisance.

The clothes and shoes she received then were quite old.

Probably got it from a nearby used clothes box or something.

… It’s a tearful memory because I was so moved that I was like an idiot.

“Okay then. Yoona Lee, at least wear her shoes and go out.”

I took out Yoona Lee’s slippers from her shoe box and tried them on.

It is inconvenient because it is large, but it is manageable.

“Oh, but what about when I get back?”

As she unlocked the door and was about to lower her doorknob, she realized that she did not know the door lock password.

She can go out, but she can’t come back in.

Well, is this door lock powered by batteries?

Can I take it off for a while and then come back and put it back on?

I opened the lid of the door lock, glanced at the instructions for using the door lock, and took out 4 AA batteries.

There were no pockets, so I opened the door with 4 batteries tightly packed in one hand.

“Chu, cold! Come to think of it, it’s winter now. Damn, I don’t even have a coat….”

The chill of winter came in through the crack in the slightly open door, so I was alert.

Damn it, a pair of running shoes in this weather. It would be fine to die.

I quickly ran to the bedroom and opened the closet.

When I picked up the long black coat inside, it was light and soft.

Without hesitation, I quickly put it on and opened the front door.

But this coat looks like cashmere… If Yoona Lee knew, would she kill me?

Well, the moment you realize you’ve gone out of the house, you’re out, but what?

Since I didn’t have any of my things, it took too long to go out even once.

When I came out of the front door of the villa, the sun had already set and it was dark outside and a cold wind was blowing.

Still, the long coat covered my small body, so it wasn’t cold.

I walked uncomfortably, dragging the bottom of my coat on the ground.

But no matter how many times you walk, all you see is a bar or a decadent massage parlor.

“What kind of town is this… Did you take the wrong turn?”

I turned around and went back to the Happy Villa.

Walking to the back of the villa, there was a park a short distance away.

In the park, you can see joggers or couples sitting on benches whispering their love.

I could feel the strange eyes looking at me, as if I had stolen my mother’s clothes, but they didn’t talk to me.

‘What should I do, let’s talk to the couple over there… But young people, will you listen to me? I took him to the police because he said it was annoying, and when Lee Yoon-ah came, it was over. Oh, maybe that jogging lady would be fine… No, there is no guarantee that it will be okay.’

I know I should ask for help, but I haven’t had the courage.

The memory of being betrayed when I mustered up the courage to knock on the door next door when I was young became a trauma.

I was afraid that if I failed once, boiling oil would be poured on my face.

Why can’t I be courageous when it really matters?

I am so afraid that I might live that kind of life again.

“Shall we go home today? I still have a lot of time… That, yes! You can look for it tomorrow too….”

The fear of failure weakened my heart.

The will to escape began to weaken, thinking that if I lived as if I was dead, I would not get sick.

Muttering to myself, I turned my steps toward the house.

My body was heavy with the thought that I had escaped through self-justification and that learned helplessness had eroded my body.

“Huh? That….”

I saw a red cross floating in the air over there.

It will be either a church or a cathedral.

Although I have never had a religion, it crossed my mind that religious people are likely to be good people.

I hurriedly dragged on my uncomfortable slippers.

Looking closer, it was a fairly large building named 「Happy Dream Church」.

The lights were off as if no one was inside, and only the cross on top was shining.

I looked around the building and found an information board.

「Information on Worship Hours

Sunday Service 1st – 07:30

Sunday 2nd Service – 09:00

3Rd Sunday Worship – 11:00

Sunday 4th Service – 13:00

Sunday Evening Service – 19:30

Wednesday Evening Worship… 」

I remembered that tomorrow is Sunday.

If Yoona Lee goes to work tomorrow, she can come in time for the evening service at the church.

Even if Yoona Lee does not go to work tomorrow, there will be another opportunity as this church is also open on Wednesdays.

‘Let’s go to this church whenever we have free time and find someone we can trust. Even if the pastor is not trustworthy, the church is quite large, so people from the legal profession will attend. Or I can just ask them to report it to another police station instead of this one.’

Even if it takes a little time, you will be able to escape someday.

“hehehe… “

Laughter flowed out at the thought of finding hope.

My steps back home became lighter.

Do I have to look for clothes in the old clothes collection box to go to church?

Maybe that would be nice, right?

Arriving home with a smile, I opened the front door.

… However, the moment I entered the house, a colder feeling than outside passed through my body.

“… Uh?”

On the floor of the entrance…

There are shoes that were not there when I left the house.

… I hope it can’t be

It must have been just past eight o’clock now.

It must be an illusion.

These are the shoes I had before I left, but I don’t remember them.

“… Hey.”

Goosebumps ran through my body at the voice that was colder than the winter wind.

I turned my trembling head to see where the sound came from.

“Ugh, ah. Uh… “

… There is Yoona Lee.

She smells like her alcohol.
