Chapter 53

Sounds stuffy. Gunwoong shook his head.

“It’s just like these wall windows that are tightly closed in front and rear. If your words are true, then why does such a person never hold a woman on the battlefield?”

To be honest, if that was the only reason, I would have touched another woman on the battlefield at least once. However, he never knew anyone or approached any woman. Cheongwoon let out an awkward cough at his stabbing words.

“Tuck tuck. Then what if you really take someone else? But you have already waited for so long, for six years. You’re stupid if you don’t have the child as soon as possible. Do you know the Fairy and the Woodcutter*? It’s my son’s favorite story these days, so he’s reading it to me yesterday and today too.”

(Fairy and the Woodcutter – it’s a korean folk tale, best known as The Heavenly Maiden and the Woodcutter.)

“It’s been a long time, and my place has already become cold rice. So, as soon as I entered the house, It was my turn to help out with taking care of my son all day. The story that my son has been interested in these days is “The fairy and the Woodcutter”. I was confused at what kind of story the boy likes to read. But when I found out, it turns out that it’s a story that the boy shouldn’t read. So, do it well when you have it. And the first thing that came to my mind is the wall windows in front of my eyes.”

(I think Gunwoong is saying that he should savor the moment or it would be too late …like how the woodcutter stole the Heavenly garments of the Heavenly King’s daughter and made her his wife. But he also said that “do it well.” Well, the woodcutter died full of regrets and became a chicken who would always call out to heaven.)

“Sounds useless. Drink alcohol.” It was quite sincere advice in its own way, but Cheongwoon briefly dismissed it.

But on the way back home after drinking, Gunwoong’s words lingered endlessly in Cheongwoon’s ear, but he kept ignoring it.

‘Damn it. Stopped thinking about what somebody else’s said, yeag.’

Someone else? Somebody else who is dying of cold. That one, it seemed that there was only me!

I am certainly sure of that one. How could that dazzling damn kid act like that to him? Isn’t the little girl the one who came running to me, shouting, “I’ll offer myself to you!”? I’ve been paying attention to Haehwa since before, but people keep making useless noises, disturbing me for no reason at all.

Aren’t the rumors ridiculous? It’s true she became pretty, but even so, what kind of guy would be so twisted to keep lingering around?

Perhaps, it was because Cheongwoon was busy thinking about those rumors while walking, vowing to beat them with his fist, that Cheongwoon gaze caught a man snooping around outside of his gate, and saw him.

‘What is this?’

A young man who seems to have just passed the coming of age. It looks like he was looking inside the house from his actions…when it was time for Cheongwoon to enter the house, as he thought about what’s going on inside his house, the guy walking around in front called out while acting shy.

“Wait!”

The man who saw Cheongwoon going inside stopped him.

“Did you live in this house?”

“So?”

From his positive response, the man’s face became indescribably bright. On the other hand, Cheongwoon’s expression gradually went beyond displeasure.Momogang :want to read whole novel .cant wait for next chapter.click here
