Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 391
It was just past noon.
Guyangcheon is the time when I was training for a long time in the cave.
Around that time, Baekhwaju Mi Hyoran, the mistress of the Gu family and the owner of a famous merchant company in Jungwon. She was facing her husband.
Dripping Tak.
In the quiet atmosphere, you can hear the sound of the watermill from behind.
A total of three teacups.
Two of them were steaming up from two tea cups.
Mihyoran stretches out her white hand without shaking and raises her teacup.
Mi Hyo-ran, who swallowed a sip of tea without making a sound, opened her mouth as she looked at her husband immediately after quenching her throat.
“Did you have a good talk?”
The voice was not high and low as always, but Mi Hyo-ran’s expression was cold enough to be chilly.
Gu Cheol-woon, who knew that, did not answer and quietly avoided his gaze. Mi Hyo-ran looks at Gu Cheol-woon and adds a comment.
“You shared so well that you made the child’s eyes blue.”
“…”
“Do you have anything to say about this?”
Asking questions calmly, as if to listen to an excuse, feels even more frightening.
The atmosphere emitted by Mi Hyo-ran, an ordinary person who did not have any bets, was unusual.
It felt like the temperature of the room was sinking coldly, even though there was a subtle heat emitted by Gu Cheol-un.
Goo Chul-woon let out a short cough, which is rare, and then spoke to Mi Hyo-ran.
“Something happened.”
“Of course you should. It would have been a big deal if it hadn’t happened.”
“…”
What a big deal. I don’t know what it was, but Goo Cheol-woon knew that it was never a good thing.
Mi Hyo-ran sighs at the sight of Gu Chul-woon.
“Looking at the child’s expression, I won’t say much because it seems to have worked out, but… It’s a little disappointing that you made such a precious face.”
precious face?
Goo Cheol-woon looks at Mi Hyo-ran with a strange expression.
It was because Gu Yangchun was my son, but he didn’t look precious.
“There was a reason why it couldn’t be helped.”
I couldn’t help it. That would be correct.
The energy Guyangcheon exuded at the time was close to speculation disguised as a bet.
Goo Cheol-woon was able to immediately recognize that it was the energy he had felt in the past.
Gu Yang-chun was not enough to use the two energies, so when he saw that he had enough strength in his body to explode at any time, he left his body first.
Because I couldn’t stand to see my son die.
It’s just that I didn’t feel the need to explain this to Mihyoran in detail.
Upon hearing this, Mi Hyo-ran tells Goo Chul-woon.
“Is there any reason why you couldn’t help it?”
“…I really couldn’t help it this time.”
Goo Chul-wun’s words cause wrinkles to form on Mi Hyo-ran’s fine forehead.
“Didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t hurt me?”
“Since he came to Dalian, he can’t help it either…”
“He said he was going to talk, but he didn’t say he was going to Dalian. Was that conversation a conversation of the body?”
“greatness.”
Goo Cheol-woon finally coughs and takes a sip of the tea.
Seeing it, Mi Hyo-ran could feel a bit of lightness while feeling stuffy.
It was because I felt that the weight that Gu Cheol-woon was wearing had decreased a little.
‘It’s a little lighter.’
I was feeling it, so I wasn’t angry anymore.
Even so. It was somewhat unacceptable for Mi Hyo-ran to create blue bruises on the child’s eyes.
‘Where is the place to hit that child?’
Even so, it is not to fully express this anger.
Even if I have to talk about this, I just hold back spitting in my face because I was no different from myself who kept away from my child out of guilt and fear.
The fortunate thing was the attitude of the women who got up as if they were angry when they saw the child’s condition.
It was because Mi Hyo-ran didn’t look bad when he showed it as if he was going to pull out his sword right away.
In Mi Hyo-ran’s view, the woman named Sword Dancer was already engaged, so she was giving high marks.
Other than that, the women around her are slightly different.
Several women come to mind.
First of all, the woman who received the most points was the daughter of the Moyong family. Did you say Seolbong?
Mi Hyo-ran liked the rumors and the part where he was unknowingly trying to play tricks behind the scenes.
It would have been dangerous if left as an enemy, but Mi Hyo-ran knew as soon as he saw that most of her actions would help his son’s future.
in other words.
Maybe it was because he looked like himself.
It was also because she was the daughter of that ‘Moyongga’.
It was because among the women who chased after Gu Cheol-wun in the past, there was a daughter of the Mo Yong family.
Of course, she was a different woman from the Mo Yong-hee that Mi Hyo-ran saw.
If I had to compare her, it would be similar to her own daughter, Gu Hee-bi.
‘Many women…’
Mi Hyo-ran smiled inwardly at the moment that came to mind.
I was worried because Gu Yangchun didn’t seem to be doing well. He seemed to be doing well.
The overcoat doesn’t look too bad either.
but.
‘This part… looks so much like my father.’
If that was another concern, it was a concern.
Too many overtures were also included in the hardships later on.
In that regard, Guyangcheon has a clear path to hardship.
Goo Cheol-woon wasn’t the type to care about such things, but Gu Yang-chun didn’t seem to be like that.
Not to mention, each of the women involved had a background that made no sense, so thinking about that, the only thing Mi Hyo-ran could do was write down a few numbers behind the scenes.
“…so.”
Goo Cheol-woon’s head moves at Mi Hyo-ran’s words.
“Did the child look comfortable?”
It was the most important question.
Would the child have become at least a little more comfortable with him?
Mi Hyo-ran calmly looks into Goo Cheol-woon’s eyes. Goo Cheol-woon’s eyes still looked heavy, but a subtle difference was felt.
Goo Chul-woon, who had been accepting Mi Hyo-ran’s gaze, spat out words cautiously.
“I don’t know.”
There is something contradictory and subtle mixed in the thick and heavy voice.
“What has changed with just such a small thing? I don’t know yet.”
“Didn’t you ask the child?”
did it get a little better Didn’t you ask Goo Cheol-woon shakes his head at Mi Hyo-ran’s words.
“You didn’t ask.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know that either. but.”
Mi Hyo-ran listens to Gu Chul-wun’s words. It was because I felt hesitation for a long time.
“Third. He looked at me and said he was my father.”
“…!”
In a way, it makes sense.
It is natural for children to call their father father.
That obvious thing, if you know it, has many meanings.
Mi Hyo-ran examines Gu Chul-woon’s face.
There was still no change in her expression, but Mi Hyo-ran could tell that her eyes were trembling slightly.
“…How are you?”
“I don’t know. I am still incompetent to know all of that.”
“…”
He did not deny it.
From Mi Hyo-ran’s point of view, Gu Cheol-woon is an outstanding person as a family head. Because I was a person who lacked a lot to be called a parent.
Of course, this would be no different from Mihyo.
“It is difficult.”
Mi Hyo-ran nodded inwardly at Gu Chul-woon’s words.
And looking at Gu Cheol-un, he says.
“late.”
“…”
“It’s very late. I should have come a little sooner to know that it is difficult.”
It should have been a lot faster, not a little. Both she and Gu Chul-woon.
This was Mi Hyo-ran’s regret.
It would have been better if I realized this a little sooner… but I didn’t.
That was Mi Hyo-ran’s regret.
“…so. Try to find out now.”
“I will try.”
Goo Cheol-woon hesitated briefly before answering.
If that’s the case, first of all it’ll be fine.
Goo Cheol-woon’s words that he will try are not meant to run away, but really mean what he meant.
Having heard the story up to that point, Mihyoran slowly got up.
If only I had one wish.
– He said he was my father.
Just as Gu Yang-chun spit out the word father to Gu Chul-wun.
‘Someday.’
Someday, even herself…
Thinking that far, Mihyoran closes her eyes. A somewhat arrogant thought is a passing thought.
Mi Hyo-ran, who had completely erased any regrets that were not regrets, greeted her husband unnoticed and left the room.
Gu Cheol-woon, who was left alone, drank the remaining tea and closed his eyes.
It was because I had many thoughts, but when I put them all together, there was only one worry.
‘It’s difficult.’
that it is a relationship.
Because the heavy weight of sin was too heavy.
Wouldn’t this also be another job that has been neglected in the end?
Goo Chul-woon thinks so and calms himself down.
-late.
Like Mi Hyo-ran said, it was a worry too late.
Rather than being difficult now, I had to choose something else.
“…”
Goo Cheol-woon carefully opened his eyes and watched the door where Mi Hyo-ran had left.
Squeak.
I started filling my teacup.
He fills the teacup in front of him first, and then starts filling the teacup across from him.
It was strange.
Mi Hyo-ran had already left the room.
After filling the teacup, Koo Cheol-woon spoke.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
It is too sudden to be a word spoken in empty space.
but.
drooling.
As Goo Chul-wun’s words fall, the door Mi Hyo-ran had left opens and someone enters.
He is a middle-aged man wearing a black uniform.
That man was a person Gu Chul-woon knew.
He is a famous family in Xi’an.
He was an unmanned soldier called the head of the Xi’an family.
Checking on him, Gu Chul-woon gets up. to say hello
step. It was not a greeting to the bandits.
Goo Cheol-woon was waiting.
I mean the person who comes after me.
The bandit who confirmed this entered with a shy expression and carefully moved away.
So that someone else can come in, then the person Gu Cheol-woon was waiting for enters the room beyond the bandits.
Goo Cheol-woon looked at the person who had entered.
is a young warrior
In terms of age, he was a person who seemed to be the same age as his own children.
The feeling of wanting to cross the terms and conditions.
From the uniform he was wearing, he could vaguely tell that he was a blood relative of the rain family.
It was probably the child of the rain family next door.
That’s why, if it was original, I would have set an example to the bandits first.
Goo Cheol-woon bowed his head first to the young man in front.
This is because the previous person was a person in a much higher position than the non-family head.
“Meet the old man.”
At that attitude, a strange emotion could be seen in the young man’s eyes.
“Amazing. I haven’t even introduced myself yet.”
“Thank you for coming despite the rather sudden request.”
“Oh… if it comes out like this, there’s no point in making fun of it.”
Originally, I was going to start by teasing him a bit.
After smiling, Pajon approaches Goo Cheol-woon and sits down on the other side of the table.
“See you after a long time. former lord. It’s rather difficult to count how many years. Let’s introduce ourselves again.”
Pajon said while holding up a pre-poured teacup.
“Call it Pajon Bijou. and.”
Pajon’s eyes turned to Gu Cheol-wun, and Gu Chul-wun had already been looking at Pajon.
“Your son’s teacher.”
At the same time, a heavy atmosphere began to permeate the room.
