91 – No pain, no love: 3

Let me explain who Seong Baekhyun is as follows.

The best sword in the peninsula.

The family head of the family name family.

The Clan Master of the Swordsman.

An S-Rank Hunter and master of swordsmanship.

With numerous nicknames, he is one of Korea’s representative figures.

The head of an organization that is considered to have the most powerful military force among the four major clans.

It can be said that he is a top ranker in the top 100 of the world rankings and at the same time the most famous hunter in Korea.

There is probably no one who doesn’t know the three letters of Seong Baek-hyun’s name.

It was the same with Yerin Ryu.

Even though I was only in elementary school, I remember seeing it on TV a few times.

Even if you say you’re not interested in being a hunter, you can’t help but hear Seong Baek-hyun’s name.

Sometimes it is mentioned casually when talking with classmates.

That’s how Seong Baek-hyun’s reputation spreads all over Korea.

By the way, Seong Baekhyun’s real father?

I can’t believe it.

It must be just a joke.

I wonder if it’s a mischievous farmland street like usual.

Anyway, my mom secretly likes pranks.

Ryu Ye-rin called her mother, saying, “Stop playing around.”

When you think about it with common sense, isn’t there no way Seong Baek-hyun could be your father?

It was a story that was too far-fetched even when young Ryu Ye-rin thought about it.

I couldn’t believe it all the more because it was Ryu Seong-yeon, who sometimes joked around like this.

But Ryu Seong-yeon’s face was more serious than ever.

Normally, at this point, you have to jump over the pit with her smile on her face, saying, ‘I’m sorry, my daughter’s mother, I won’t play with her’?

My mother is a bit strange today.

Why is she playing pranks so seriously?

While Ryu Ye-rin tilted her head with a half-doubtful look on her face, Ryu Seong-yeon kept repeating his name with a faint face as if she was immersed in her old memories.

The freshness and tenderness were tainted with the fact that he missed his dad very much.

She said that tomorrow she would be able to meet her father, and she kept laughing all the way through.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my mother’s happy face like this.

No matter what Ryu Ye-rin does, she has never smiled so brightly like this…….

Is it because she is so happy to be reunited with her father?

Amid many questions, her mother was smiling and blushing as if she had returned to her bland virginity.

What should she wear, what makeup should she do, what should she say after a long time, and so on.

Yerin Liu lost her words.

“Mom.”

“Huh? Why is that my daughter?”

Yerin Ryu, who hesitated for a while, carefully called Ryu Seongyeon.

Ryu Seong-yeon patted Ryu Ye-rin’s head with a wide smile.

Yerin Ryu slightly closed her eyes at her mother’s warm touch.

She caressed it carefully, as if she were touching a precious craft.

Yerin Ryu really liked this feeling.

Because she felt loved by her mother.

“Really, that…… Is Seong Baek-hyun really your father?”

Yerin Ryu asked a little awkwardly.

At that appearance, Ryu Seong-yeon smiled kindly.

“Of course, my daughter. Don’t you believe your mother?”

“Honestly, it’s a bit hard to believe… ….”

“Mom made a promise to her dad that she hasn’t been able to tell her, but now she’ll be fine. My daughter, look at this.”

“Huh? This…… ?”

Ryu Seong-yeon sneakily held out a pendant.

It is something her mother always carried around her body.

Ryu Ye-rin tilted her head and stared blankly at her pendant.

Then wouldn’t the pendant lid click open?

“Is there a picture in the pendant? Maybe this photo?”

In the pendant, Ryu Seong-yeon and Seong Baek-hyun were photographed together.

“It’s a picture of mom and dad.”

“… ….”

From noble mtl dot com

“Whoops. Do you have some faith now?”

“… ….”

Yerin Ryu was silent for a moment.

She can’t help but believe it after seeing the picture in the pendant that her mother cherished.

I’m really Seong Baekhyun’s daughter…….

So you mean the hidden child?

Sometimes, it is similar to the contents of the drama that my mother used to watch.

I really couldn’t imagine that something like that would only happen in a drama.

Do you think there is no sense of reality?

Something is not right.

The fact that she is the daughter of a rich family doesn’t make her feel good, it just feels strange.

I wondered if it was because I was confused, but for some reason, the uncomfortable feeling only grew bigger.

I suddenly wondered why her mother had hidden her relationship with her father.

If it was a normal husband and wife relationship, we would have naturally lived together with Seong Baek-hyun, but why do we live apart from Seong Baek-hyun?

It seemed that something was wrong.

But Yerin Ryu didn’t bother to ask. She

She knew instinctively that she wouldn’t explain it anyway, and she also didn’t want to upset her mother, who was so excited about meeting her dad.

Anyway, when I meet her dad tomorrow, I’ll get to know her naturally.

For now, let’s just organize our thoughts in our heads.

***

The next day.

I got into a vehicle with some servants from the family name Sega.

It was an expensive limousine that you would only see on television.

Yerin Ryu, who was a mediocre citizen, was quite surprised.

She never thought she’d be riding in a limo.

She never imagined…….

“…… Here is?”

Quite a bit of time has passed since she suddenly boarded the limousine.

After several checks, she arrived at a place.

It was a place surrounded by a large iron gate and a solid outer wall.

Her security was tight as if she would never allow outsiders to enter.

Current barbed wire and numerous CCTVs. And fully armed guards…….

I couldn’t understand why they were so heavily guarded.

While Ryu Ye-rin quietly looked around, her limousine passed through several iron doors and entered her outer wall.

Then, the scenery of the vast garden came into Yerin Ryu’s field of vision one after another.

The interior was spacious like a wilderness and solemn like a palace.

As if reminiscent of a Hanok Village, old tile-roofed houses are interspersed.

The ever-green pine trees stretch straight, and a koi dances in the pond.

People wearing her improved hanbok here and there glance at her Ryu Ye-rin.

Ryu Ye-rin raised her head in her sulpit.

I saw a group of clouds swimming slowly.

It is the scenery on the other side of the same sky as yesterday.

But today I felt a little different.

That’s also because she set foot in a place that reminds me of old Hanyang, not under the sky of Seoul.

This is the palace of the last name family, one of the most closed places in Korea.

This is Ryu Ye-rin’s home where tradition and history are alive and breathing.

“… ….”

Ryu Seong-yeon and Ryu Ye-rin, who got off the vehicle before they knew it, moved their feet following the guidance of the attendants.

Every time I passed by, I could see some people spying on me.

Curiosity, wonder, vigilance, jealousy, envy, etc.

Numerous eyes were deeply pierced.

I don’t know why people are staring at me like that.

But one thing is for sure, this is not an ordinary family.

“Ah.”

We arrived at the living room before we knew it.

Yerin Ryu spat out a short exclamation.

There is no need to ask whose living room this is.

Because in front of Ryu Yerin’s eyes, a man was clearly staring at her.

“…… Hmm.”

A middle-aged man.

He is making an indifferent expression.

She is quietly looking at Yerin Ryu.

You can’t find any sign on the man’s face.

It is a bored and indifferent expression.

However, there is a wild nature.

A very ferocious beast.

‘That person…… Dad?’

Seong Baek-hyeon, the head of the family family.

He is Yerin Ryu’s only real father.

But there is no joy.

She was a father and daughter who had been reunited after a long time, but there is no friendliness at all.

Rather, it is unfamiliar and uncomfortable enough to make you wonder if her family is right for you.

Only a strange tension dwells in Ryu Ye-rin’s heart.

Seong Baek-hyun slowly scans him from head to toe as if he were evaluating a product.

Cold and indifferent eyes stabbed Ryu Ye-rin’s skin sharply.

That gaze was never her father’s gaze at her daughter.

Looking at others is not like that.

When our dark eyes met, I swallowed dry saliva in unknown anxiety.

She was only staring at her very quietly, but Yerin Liu couldn’t help but put on a nervous expression as she bit her lower lip.

Her body trembled and her bones tingled.

Ryu Ye-rin reflexively shrank her body and clenched her fists.

Maybe it was driven by instinct.

Alarm bells were ringing in her head incessantly.

A drop of cold sweat ran down his forehead and temple.

Kungkung! With the sound of my heart beating in my ears, adrenaline rushed like crazy.

Her downy hair stood up stiff and a chill down her spine made her want to get her mother out of this room right away.

It feels like an unprecedented wild beast.

“…… You.”

Awkward.

My heart thumps at the middle-aged voice.

“…… It’s Yerin.”

A middle-aged man, Seong Baek-hyun, called his daughter’s name with a bored expression.

There wasn’t even a hint of emotion involved, so I had no idea what the hell he was thinking.

That’s why I was more afraid.

Ryu Ye-rin suddenly grabbed Ryu Seong-yeon’s hand.

She unconsciously grabbed her mother’s hand.

Then, Ryu Seong-yeon slowly moved her lips.

“Oh, long time no see honey.”

She smiled shyly, as if embarrassed, holding her hands tightly, whether or not she knew her daughter’s feelings.

“Yes. Long time no see.”

“Yes, yes!”

Seong Baek-hyeon replied indifferently, as if he had no interest, but Ryu Seong-yeon seemed satisfied with that alone.

Yerin Ryu wanted to go back to her home with her mother.

Gently pulling her mother’s hand, she made a quiet expression, but to no avail.

Because Ryu Seong-yeon was obsessed with Seong Baek-hyeon, he couldn’t properly care about her daughter’s condition.

Suddenly, Yerin Liu stopped pulling her hand.

Since her mother likes her that much, she was reluctant to speak.

Ryu Seong-yeon From her point of view, Hae-woo is a lover after a long time.

I felt sorry for needlessly breaking colic.

“Since we haven’t seen each other in a while, there must be a lot to talk about… ….”

“Yes honey.”

Seong Baekhyun glanced at Yerin Ryu once more.

“…… Mom.”

Yerin Ryu quietly called her mother, but Seongyeon Ryu just smiled and gently stroked her daughter’s hair.

“Yerin? Why?”

“…… No, nothing.”

Liu Yerin suddenly shook her head.

“Then it’s dinnertime, so let’s talk over dinner.”

“Yes, honey.”

She went to the restaurant with Seong Baekhyun.

There was expensive food that she had never seen before, but she had no appetite.

Her mother was clearly smiling and delighted from start to finish.

She didn’t even look at the food, she just stared at Seong Baekhyun and smiled.

“Yerin.”

“Oh, huh? Why?”

“Starting today, we will be staying here.”

“Really?”

I roughly expected it, but I really didn’t expect it to happen.

It seemed she had no choice simply to look at her face once and go back to her house.

In the first place, it seems that my mother wanted Seong Baek-hyun to stay with me.

“Yerin, aren’t you happy too? I’m going to live with my dad.”

“Eh. Okay.”

Yerin Ryu nodded her head slowly and weakly replied.

…… Are you happy? I do not know.

She honestly doesn’t feel like a father at all.

It’s just embarrassing because she can’t say it right away.

“We are preparing your room, so stay in the sarangchae today.”

“Oh, yes. All right.”

She tried to answer Seong Baek-hyun’s words calmly, even though her body trembled.

He looked at Ryu Ye-rin once with an unknown gaze, and then she looked away from her.

Ryu Seong-yeon continued to talk to Seong Baek-hyeon, and Seong Baek-hyeon answered indifferently, and the dinner was over.

After the meal, Seong Baek-hyeon spoke to the servant.

“Please guide the child to the Sarangbang.”

“Yes.”

The employee next to me answered right away.

“What about mom?”

“Mom will be talking to her dad a little bit more. Go first.”

Ryu Seong-yeon sent Ye-rin Ryu first with a kind smile.

The author began to guide Yerin Ryu to her living room.

Yerin Ryu arrived at her unfamiliar room. She

She called Sarangbang, she said, but it was a fairly spacious room.

Bed, desk, TV, PC, small refrigerator……

There really was nothing missing.

“Please sleep here tonight, lady.”

“Oh, yes.”

After saying hello, the servant went outside.

Ryu Ye-rin sat in her room and waited patiently for her mother.

Time passed slowly.

Tick tock tock.

Only the ticking of the clock ticked in my ears.

Her butt hurts from sitting for so long.

Ryu Ye-rin stood up and gently touched her buttocks.

Darkness came over the window before I knew it.

It seems like a lot of time has passed.

Are you still a mother?

It seems like there is a lot to talk about with Seong Baekhyun.

It’s not that I don’t understand since I haven’t seen her in a while, but it’s already been several hours…….

In the end, even though it was late at night, Ryu Seong-yeon did not come to visit.

Yerin Ryu had no choice but to lay down on the bed and go to sleep.

And a few days later.

“Ooh, eh, eh! Ugh, ek!”

The hellish surname family’s daily life has begun.
