7 – Promise

“… Mom.”

“Lee Han-sol! Go ahead and tell me! It’s not a hit for me, but you rolled alone, this dog to go and say !! “

Yoona Lee howled like a monster.

As she grabbed both of her arms from Chief Lee, her eyes were bloodshot and she shot at me.

What is it, you said you would be in a detention center, why are you here…

It was only after the disturbance broke out that the police came out and took over Lee Yoon-ah.

Among them, a high-ranking police officer approached and bowed his head.

I’m not sure, but she called herself a sergeant.

“Sorry. It seems that the man who came to see her as a lover helped her and escaped. I will send her back to the detention center and never see her again.”

“Please be careful. It’s a big deal if something happens to your wife or children. Can you please move that person quickly? It’s not good for the victim and the perpetrator to face each other that way.”

“Hey, put that girl back in lockup! Tomorrow she will be handed over to the detention center.”

At the words of Chief Lee, the sergeant beckoned to his subordinates.

Even while she was being dragged away, Yoona Lee screamed at me, screaming with her whole body.

… But if I go to the detention center as it is, will I never see Lee Yoon-ah again?

It’s nice not to see her.

But she is Yuna Lee, she is whatever she is, she is a woman like my enemy, but she is also my mother.

I can’t end things like this with Yoona Lee.

I approached the sergeant who was giving the instructions and asked.

“Police officer, by any chance… Can I talk to her mother?”

“Huh? Are you talking to your mother? Oh no, no How can you get a person who escaped during a visit to see you again? Even with the victim. Aren’t you afraid to meet your mother again?”

“I’m fine. It’s a police station, so it’s not that scary. And there are things I want to hear from my mother and things I want to say. Please.”

“Ah, no, but that’s a bit… “

Even when she lowered her head and asked for it, the sergeant had a trembling face.

He didn’t want to take responsibility for something that happened.

“Me too, please. It’s safe to visit with the sergeant in the meeting room. No matter what Yoona does, we will take responsibility.”

“Well, if your wife says so too… All right. Let’s talk to the chief. And if you don’t mind, just one autograph for each of our kids… “

Indeed, it is Han Seung-ah.

Starting today, the goddess Seung-ah… No, let’s just call him Seung-ah.

We were guided by a sergeant into the police station.

As expected from a conglomerate family, I was led to a private room without any special registration procedures, and inside, a man called the chief of police welcomed me personally.

“Well, I understand what you mean. Originally, there is no visit to the suspect who escaped the detention center, but I handle that at my discretion. Hey, bring me some coffee here. Your wife is going to eat, so instead of instant, buy some from the cafe outside.”

While Ah-shin Seung went out to talk with the chief of police, I started to make statements about the victim.

The sergeant next to me refused to write the statement for me, and I picked up a pen and started writing the statement without hesitation.

‘But writing this makes me feel like crying. Ah, I haven’t had my hair shaved while sleeping in this life yet. Erase this… ‘

The vast history of abuse filled an A4 sheet in an instant.

How many years of life have you suffered so much?

It’s something that happened to me myself, but it’s absurd.

Ara, who was drawing a picture after accepting the same paper next to her, probably bored, widened her eyes when she saw the statement I was writing.

“Wow, the text is full from the first to the second! Like a teacher! Sol, do you know Korean?”

“There are not many spelling errors, and the content of the text looks like it was written by an adult… Did you really write this? Do kids these days learn Korean so quickly?”

“Since I have nothing to do at home, I studied Korean a bit early.”

The sergeant who received my statement looked suspiciously at me, but now it’s okay.

Even if you look like a smart kid, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Above all, acting as a child is difficult because there are too many things to pay attention to.

“Okay, it looks like there is no problem with submitting it as it is. You two should hang out here for a while.”

“Is the brush finished? Then look here, will I let Sol draw you?”

The sergeant left, and following Ara’s instructions to draw me, she took a calyx pose.

The one she puts her palms on her chin when taking pictures.

Ara said she looked at the paper and then at me and then she played hard with her pen.

Just looking at his expression tells him to go away.

“Okay, that’s it. Here! How is it? Did you draw well? Do you like it?”

“I’m so mad. It’s amazing yuara cool.”

“Uh heh heh. Hey, it’s not that tidy~”

Although the picture I received didn’t reveal any of my facial features, I applauded them.

Originally, children grow up eating praise.

Han Seung-ah and Chief Lee returned while I was happily playing with Ara.

“Guys, now go to the visiting room… Oh, is the atmosphere good?”

“Mom! You know~ I drew Sol? Sol says I’m like an artist.”

“Whoops… Well done. Can I sell it for a lot of money? But Hansol-ah, the chief says we can go to the meeting room now… Are you really going to be okay?”

“I’m fine. I want to go and talk to her mother one last time, no matter what my mother says.”

“… Yes, if you are, then the lady will know. But if you don’t want to do this, I’ll stop right away. Got it?”

“Yes, thank you.”

… The time to be happy is over.

I don’t know what Yoona Lee will say or what she will say out of my mouth, but it’s time for her to see the end.

She left the room and was escorted by the chief of police to the visiting room.

It’s not a good thing for a child to see, leaving Ara outside and only me, Han Seung-ah, and the sergeant to enter.

When she entered the meeting room, she saw Lee Yoon-ah sitting behind her, blocked by the iron bars and windows.

I sat facing Yoona Lee through the window, and the others sat on the chairs prepared behind her.

As soon as I sat down, Yoona Lee pushed her tearful face.

“Ha, Hansol, are you here… ? Uh, did you miss mom a lot? The policemen here must have misunderstood something… Hansol has to talk to the cops. Hansol’s pain isn’t because of her mother, can she tell me? Huh?”

Crocodile tears.

It’s amazing. You can be so shameless.

He has become a completely different person from the person he met outside.

Ignore it.

I’m not here to listen to that bullsh*t.

“… Is there anything else you want to talk about?”

“Ugh, huh? Ah, my mother loves Hansol, and… “

“No, I don’t intend to listen to such nonsense. I wrote an affidavit before coming here. Everything you did to me I can remember.”

“What, what is this bastard!? Ah, ah!”

Lee Yoon-ah, who ran through her bars, was overpowered by the police who were monitoring her visit.

Stupid.

Looking at the ugliness, I continued talking calmly.

“I remember when I was about 4 years old, but the paper came out full. Anyway, even if I suddenly went crazy and you said you were innocent, you wouldn’t escape punishment.”

“What, what… Are you Hansol Lee? Since when did you say that… “

“That’s right, you didn’t know because you weren’t interested in me. In the past year, have you ever talked to me first?”

“What is this… Are you really Hansol Lee? My son… What is this! This is a dream… “

You will be surprised. You’ve never heard such eloquent words in your life with me.

Because I was the one who always cried after being beaten by Ji.

“Why did you do that to me? They beat you when you eat, you suddenly tear your hair while you sleep, pour boiling oil on your face, why did you do that?”

“Gi, oil? I never….”

“Why do I have to suffer when you gave birth on your own! Let’s talk!!”

Even though you know in your head that you shouldn’t show such passion with a 6-year-old body in front of people, your heart doesn’t.

From noble mtl dot com

Heat rises in the face.

I always wanted to hear it.

Why did I have to do that to you?

Why couldn’t I receive the love of my mother like other children?

“Me, I wasn’t like that from the beginning either. But Allen, the man was the problem. Since that man left us, my life has been… “

Yoona Lee began to wait with her head bowed.

She herself was a failure as an actress, and when she was helpless, she met Allen and gave birth to me, and she lived for me despite being abandoned by him.

Yoona Lee said that as she talked, she shed tears, perhaps because she was sad, but I did not shed tears.

“That’s why when I look at me, I think of my father, and that’s why I abused him. What do you mean?”

“Me, to be honest, I didn’t want to do that either. I always knew I shouldn’t. Everything, Hansol tried to live well with you again. When life settles down a little more… “

“… No, you can’t.”

“Yeah, how do you determine that!? Me, i… “

Yoona Lee is desperately in denial, but I have already lived with this woman for 14 years in her previous life.

Lee Yoon-ah finally abandoned me.

I don’t know what kind of conflict she might have had inside, but at least on the outside, her attitude toward me never changed.

No matter what this woman was thinking, my pain has never changed in 14 years.

I closed my eyes and stood up from the chair.

“I don’t think there’s anything more to hear. You… No, Mom, stop getting up too.”

“Now, wait a minute. I still have something to say… “

“When there are two of us, my mother suffers, and I suffer too. Don’t see us again Live happily without me. I will too.”

“Hansol… “

Yoona Lee reached out to her, but she left the meeting room without hesitation.

As soon as she left the meeting room, Han Seung-ah silently hugged me tightly.

As soon as Ara saw me, she was surprised and hugged me.

Why are you like that? … Ah.

It wasn’t until Han Seung-ah’s hand stroked my cheek that I realized I was crying.

After I found out, I wept to my heart’s content.

I thought I would never cry…

Even though I hated and disliked him so much, family is a very difficult relationship.

———-

“The brush is dripping! Oh, you’re nice, I’m not afraid anymore~”

“I’m not crying now, so stop teasing me?”

“Huh? Aren’t you kidding me? Is Sol comforting you not to cry? Uh? Will Sol cry again? Don’t cry~”

Damn it, I’ll give you comfort without words like before.

Earlier, she cried following the map.

But I can’t help it.

Crying is one of the most embarrassing things for 6-year-olds who have a strong need for recognition.

So, when you see someone crying, it’s only natural to make fun of it all day long.

Ara’s teasing, which started when she left the police station, continued even in bed.

Instead of getting angry with Ara, I stroked her hair.

“… Thank you Araya.”

“Huh? Oh, no, I shouldn’t say thank you… Mi, I’m sorry, I was actually kidding….”

“Stupid, not that. Thank you for finding me then. The day we first met.”

“Heh heh heh… I just called my mom, thank you? I like?”

Ara seems a bit bewildered for me to be so sincere.

… He doesn’t know that what I suffered was domestic violence.

Even if you know later, you won’t know that I suffered from what happened to Yuna Lee in her previous life and her entire life.

Anyway, Ara is my savior.

He miraculously saved me from repeating my life before the return.

I hugged Ara, who was twisting her body around as if she was embarrassed.

“Of course I like it. I got a new life from you Even if it takes your whole life to pay it back, it’s not enough.”

“Ugh, uwaaa… “

Ara couldn’t speak any more and rolled up her blanket like her tongs so she hid.

Cute.

A small voice patted her hair sticking out of the blanket and wished her good night.

“Well, then you know… Because Solie is grateful to me… Will you continue to stay by my side? Will you be comfortable with me for the rest of your life?”

“Huh? No forever… Ah yes well, I can work in Daehan Group or something… Yes, i will It’s my lifesaver, but that much… “

“Gee, really? Did you promise Can’t you ever break it?”

“Yes, I will never break it.”

Anyway, these are the words of a 6-year-old.

After a few years, they’ll forget about it and say, “I’m embarrassed, so don’t come near me!”

I went to sleep first after Ara was so excited that I forgot to sleep.

“Sol, you can’t go to someone else… Stay next to me… “

It was a little later that Ara fell asleep.
