chapter 23
cackle-!
The morning came with the roaring roosters. Si-hyeon straightened her frizzy hair and managed to raise her frown eyes.
‘Grandma’s house smells similar everywhere..’
It’s a rural scent. It’s weird to pick it up and say, but there’s something like a nostalgic scent.
Si-hyeon, who had been absorbed in the smell for a while, tried to get up.
“Woo…”
He realized later that his body was bound by Yerin’s arms and legs.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
No matter how much you struggle, you will only be bound stronger. Shihyeon gave up on this and sighed quietly.
“I knew this was going to happen..”
The lower body was constrained with both legs and the right arm provided an arm pillow, so the only free arm was the left.
In the past, I would have escaped by waking Yerin with my left hand, but for some reason I don’t want to do that now.
‘It’s okay to be like this..’
Shihyeon smiled shallowly and flipped Yerin’s hair back. As they play while pricking their soft cheeks, Yerin’s brow furrows little by little.
“It’s cute.”
“Fuhh…”
Yerin laughed as if in response to Sihyeon’s praise. I was sweating as if I was waking up, but luckily it was just a sleep talk.
“Whew..”
Shihyeon, who was relieved inwardly, looked at Yerin’s face and noticed that there was dust on her hair.
So the moment I reached out to let go.

Bump.
“Hey, it’s time to eat lunch..”
Grandma opened the door and came in. An insidious attitude to touch her granddaughter no matter who she is. The old woman who witnessed this said while covering her mouth.
“Grandma will be preparing a nourishing food, enjoy it slowly~”
“grandmother!?”
Grandma closing the door with a smile. Surprised, Shi-hyeon jumped up, and Ye-rin, who was sleeping on her arm pillow, banged her head on the blanket.
“Sihyun-ah, what’s going on..?”
To Yerin’s question, who was in a dreamy state, Shihyeon left the room without answering anything.
Then I went to my grandmother and told her that it was a misunderstanding, but she said that she would understand only with words and sent a meaningful glance.
“Ha.. not really..”
After that, Si-hyeon, who was exhausted from the morning, started eating with powerless chopsticks. The menu is seafood that helps to boost energy like yesterday. How come my hands don’t go
‘Let’s avoid such foods as much as possible.’
While Sihyeon was eating only with kimchi, the grandmother, who was smiling happily, said to Yerin.
“Yerin is you, Boksoon is Algiers.”
“Of course you know. I can’t forget the grandmother next door.”
Grandma nodded and continued.
“Gaga these days can’t move because she’s sick. Go see your face. While you’re away, there’s no fuss about wanting to see you.”
“What? What if I tell you that now?”
Yerin said yes and increased the speed of her meal. Then, after filling his cheeks convex as if he had put sunflower seeds, he hurriedly left the house.
“Sihyun, you go with me J.”
“yes.”
After eating, Si-hyeon, who helped wash the dishes, followed her grandmother.
‘What are you going to do today?’
I thought I was going to go to the fields on a cultivator like yesterday, but Grandma just walked along the sea road.
Si-hyeon, who was following this, was uncomfortable with the silence that followed, and opened her mouth first to have a conversation.
“Grandma, where are you going now?”
“There is no specific place. It’s just a stroller.”
“yes?”
Grandma said while looking at the sea on the other side.
“Actually, it’s not wrong to call Neil because it requires a hand. Yerin often brings up your story, so I guess I should have a conversation with you too.”

Because the grandmother’s remarks were so unexpected, Si-hyeon opened her mouth. Maybe it’s because there’s a serious story to send Yerin to another place?
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Not knowing what to say, Shi-hyeon listened nervously. And the grandmother, who had been quiet for a while, continued talking without looking back.
“Our Yerin.. Did she grow up pretty well?”
“Yeah.. He’s pretty, and he’s got a really good personality because he resembles his grandmother.”
Grandma just chuckled and kept her mouth shut after that. Then Shi-hyeon, scratching the back of her head, continued speaking.
“I saw it yesterday, and Yerin is loved by the people of the village. It’s all thanks to the fact that she’s always bright.”
Si-hyeon stopped talking on the way. It was because the grandmother stopped walking and looked at her with dim eyes.
I opened my mouth. The grandmother, who was hesitating about something, opened her mouth with a shallow sigh.
“Isn’t that right? I grew up with the love I didn’t receive from my parents and from the villagers. I think I’m very lucky.”
“yes..?”
Shi-hyeon doubted her ears and stood firm. Yerin’s parents, who have been shrouded in veil so far. It was the moment when the secret was revealed.

Meanwhile, Chaeyeon’s house.
“Honey Pajeon is good, so please try it.”
“Thank you, honey.”
Soo-yeon puts a side dish on her husband’s rice bowl, and Dong-hoon takes it with a happy expression.
Was it because of being a little honest about his feelings? The corners of Suyeon’s lips did not come down from above.
‘Why the heck, only my mother is fine..?’
Even though I knew it was a feeling that was against the law, the more Su-yeon was kind to Dong-hoon, the more I felt upset.
Do you think that only you can get away with the subject that you have been brainwashed to the extent that you are traumatized?
Along with a desperate feeling of betrayal, a deep resentment spread within Chaeyeon.
“Chaeyeon-ah, why don’t you eat and stay still. Do you have any taste for rice?”
“..I will eat.”
The meal started with Dong-hoon’s question. Mom’s cooking has always been excellent, but the love affair that takes place in front of it ruins it all.
hard..
Chaeyeon, who went with a grain of rice, was looking at her mother with a cold gaze.
***
next day.
After Donghoon went to work. Chaeyeon, unable to sleep, approached Sooyeon, who was folding the laundry.
“Mom.”
“yes?”
“Why are you coming here and being nice to Daddy?”
Just by holding on until Dong-hoon left for work, Chae-yeon’s patience had run out. So, without even having time to turn around and ask questions, I just brought up the gist of it.
Then, Suyeon’s hand, which was folding the towel, stopped in place.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“My mom always told me that you shouldn’t tell the man you love. The moment I dedicated and depended on you, he’d abandon me!”
Tears welled up in Chaeyeon’s bloodshot eyes, and her fists were trembling relentlessly. Seeing her daughter’s violent reaction, Soo-yeon drops the towel she was holding on the floor and struggles to face Chae-yeon’s hateful eyes.
And Chaeyeon’s voice full of resentment continued.
“It’s okay because you brainwashed your daughter that way and then you act in the opposite way and you become happy?
Unable to handle her own anger, Chaeyeon burst into emotions she had been holding down until now.
anger. Hatred. contempt. She gathered her negative emotions and pushed them, and Suyeon, who faced this, asked while clutching her chest.
“You’re a boyfriend.. Chaeyeon, were you in a relationship..?”
Fearing Su-yeon might interfere, Chae-yeon hid her relationship. But now that I’ve said it, I’ll let it go.
“I dated my classmate from college for over a year and then broke up. Just like my dad treats my mom, he loved me unconditionally… I didn’t even say a word that I liked him…”
Chaeyeon hugged her arms. Then he sat down and began to fall.
“Every time I tried to confess to her, the words my mother said over and over again came to mind.. The image of my mother, who became a bad person, overlaps with me.. I mean, we broke up without showing any affection!!”
Soo-yeon realizes that her daughter’s symptoms are similar to hers.
For the first time in her life, she was choked by the hatred of her daughter, and her head was confused and she couldn’t organize it.
“Mom… I’m sorry, Mom…”
The only thing Suyeon can do is apologize while shedding tears. It’s because of you that your daughter went through something like that. I don’t have a face, so I can’t raise my head.
Suyeon continued stuttering with a crying voice.
“Uh, my mom thought that was right at first too.. But a few months ago, Dong-hoon asked for a divorce, so I found out it was wrong and started psychotherapy.”
Was there such a reason for starting psychotherapy? Chaeyeon chews her lower lip without saying anything.
Soo-yeon’s trembling hand touched Chae-yeon’s cheek, and her guilty voice continued.
“I didn’t know my daughter was having such a hard time… I mean…”
Su-yeon, feeling embarrassed by herself, smashed her own chest in the chest with her fist. Seeing her weeping, Chaeyeon becomes confused at the thought that she has ruined her mother again.
‘Hey, if you go like this…’
Su-yeon said she did not deserve to be happy, and did not know if she would return to the way she was before psychotherapy.
Frustrated by the collapse of her family and her mother’s return to a state of exhaustion, Chae-yeon slowly stepped back.
And that moment.
Soo-yeon grabbed Chae-yeon’s wrist as she was about to run away from reality. Kneeling, she looked up at her daughter and said.
“I’m sorry Chaeyeon-ah.. It’s all because of my mother, so I’ll fix it somehow.”
After that, Soo-yeon, who had been begging for forgiveness, took Chae-yeon, who had calmed down, to the psychological counseling center.
And when her mother, who was the source of her trauma, helped her heal, Chaeyeon’s condition improved rapidly.
