Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 225: Undercurrent of Feelings

Sunwoo's family

"Sunwoo."

Choi Moo-sung walked in carrying Pearl, only to see Sun-woo, who had just returned home.

"Hello~, Pearl!" Sunwoo said happily as he looked at Pearl.

"Pfft~~ But, Uncle, what happened to your head?"

The two conspicuous little tufts on Cui Wusheng's head made him unable to suppress a smile.

"what?"

"Oh, this one is tied with pearls."

Cui Wusheng replied somewhat embarrassedly.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"What, isn't Mom home?"

Cui Wusheng asked curiously.

"Well... I don't know either. I just came back from Shuyu's house."

Sunwoo reached out and took Pearl in his arms.

"Oh, I see."

Choi Moo-sung breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Sun-young, but he also felt a little disappointed.

"Thank you for taking care of Pearl."

"Uncle, let's eat together."

"Mom probably went to another aunt's house."

"They'll probably be back soon."

Sunwoo invited him.

"Hehe, no need, I still have to go back and cook for Aze."

Choi Moo-sung waved his hand, declining Sun-woo's invitation, and turned to walk out of the alley.

..........

Five minutes ago, at Aze's doorstep.

Sun-young had been standing at the door for quite a while.

She hesitated for a moment, looking at Aze's front door, but finally gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and pushed the door open.

"elder brother?"

"Aze?"

Sun-young called out softly, and seeing no response, and since they were already inside, she simply walked quickly toward the living room.

"Pearls~~"

"Is anyone here?"

Pushing open the living room door, Sun-young looked inside curiously.

Until a head heard the sound and poked its head out of the room.

"Hello~"

Aze greeted her politely.

"Ah, Aze~"

"that..."

"Where's Dad?"

Shan Ying asked.

"I didn't see it," Aze shook his head, bewildered.

"Where are the pearls?"

"Jung-hwan said that Pearl is over here."

Sun-young continued to ask.

"Pearls?"

A-Ze glanced around the living room, and Sun-Ying followed suit.

With no one in the living room, Aze opened the doors to each room one by one.

When he opened the refrigerator, Sun-young's lips twitched as she looked at him.

"Never mind, I'll probably go home."

"Thank you, Aze. Would you like to come to Auntie's house for dinner?"

Shan Ying asked.

"Thank you, but no need. I'll wait for Dad to come back to eat."

Aze smiled and shook his head.

"Okay, by the way, if you see Pearl, remember to give me a call."

Before leaving, Sun-young turned around and gave her one last piece of advice.

"Seriously, where are we going?"

Sun-young muttered to herself as she pushed open the door to Taek's house and walked home, somewhat bewildered.

..........

Phoenix Hall Hutong

The two met unexpectedly in the alley.

Choi Moo-seong, who had just come out of Sun-woo's house, looked at Sun-young, who had just come out of his own house.

Sun-young looked up and saw Choi Moo-sung coming out of her house.

Their eyes met, both of them wanting to say something but holding back.

Just as Choi Moo-sung was wondering what to say, Seon-young burst out laughing.

Sun-young originally thought she would feel awkward meeting him, but then she saw the two little tufts on his head.

She could tell at a glance that it was Pearl's masterpiece, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha~~"

“Sun-young.”

"where did you go?"

Seeing her smile, Cui Wusheng felt a little more relaxed and took the initiative to ask.

"Brother, I'm just coming to find you guys."

"I should be asking you that too, where did you take the pearl?"

Sun-young asked with a smile in her eyes and a slight pout.

"Oh, I thought you were busy. I played with Pearl for a while and just took her back. You weren't home."

Cui Wusheng explained.

"Oh, Pearl likes playing with you."

"Our pearl has made a new friend~".

Sun-young joked.

"Haha~"

"Pearl is very cute, but she's a little mischievous."

"I even suspect she might be your daughter."

"After wearing it for a while, I ended up like this."

Cui Wusheng pointed to the two small braids on his head.

Sun-young pursed her lips and approached.

Untie the two braids on his head.

As Sun-young approached, Choi Moo-seong couldn't help but swallow hard, too nervous to move.

After removing the rubber band, Sun-young looked calmly at Choi Moo-sung.

"I said, brother, you heard everything, didn't you?"

Sun-young asked.

"Ah~! Oh! Yes."

Cui Wusheng answered hastily.

"Brother, do you think I'm a very casual person?"

"I helped my fellow villager brother, and yet I still have all sorts of wild thoughts."

Sun-young, having already said everything, decided to just make things clear from the start.

No! That's not how it is!

Cui Wusheng quickly denied it.

"What's it like?" Sun-young asked with a smile, seeing his nervous expression.

As Choi Moo-sung looked at Sun-young, who was smiling at him, he recalled Lee Il-hwa's words.

Let's be honest for now, and talk about the child later.

“Sunyoung, I don’t know how to say it, but I know.”

“From the moment you came to take care of me when I was sick.”

"I can't stand eating alone or watching TV alone anymore."

Choi Moo-sung looked at Seon-young with unwavering determination.

What about the child?

"Where's Taek? Where's Sunwoo?"

Sun-young sighed and asked.

“Actually…” He hesitated, looking at Sun-young.

Seeing that he was also hesitating, a hint of disappointment flashed in Sun-young's eyes.

Seeing the hint of disappointment in her eyes, Cui Wusheng spoke again firmly.

"In short, let's take things slowly with the children."

"We're already this old."

"Sunyoung, brother, I really want to take care of you and Jinju!"

Choi Moo-sung's confession-like words left Sun-young stunned for a moment.

She looked into his eyes, and there wasn't a trace of a joke in them.

"If Sunwoo doesn't object..."

Sun-young stopped talking and could only walk home.

Sunwoo understands, and that's why she's been avoiding him.

Seeing Sun-young avoid him, Choi Moo-sung felt a pang of pain, as if his heart had been squeezed.

Just as he thought Sun-young's unfinished words meant rejection, and was about to dejectedly walk home, Sun-young's words came from behind him.

"Brother, Pearl really likes you. I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Could you please take care of Pearl for me?"

Choi Moo-seong raised his head, turned around abruptly, and looked at Seon-young in disbelief.

After saying that, Sun-young walked to the door, glanced at him, and stepped inside.

"Pearl, Sunwoo~"

"Mom is back."

"Oh, what else could I have gone to? I just went to Jung-hwan's house."

"Let's eat quickly."

"The food is cold."

Hearing the faint sound of Sun-young's voice, Choi Moo-sung rubbed his face vigorously and walked home excitedly.

"Aze, Dad is back."

Aze sat in the living room, listening to his father's cheerful shouts outside, his mind filled with questions.

Even without seeing him, he could sense his father's happiness from his words.

What's going on today?
