“Does dad say nothing even when Hwi Young doesn’t come home?”
If it had been her, the house would have been in chaos.
“He’s going to the army soon.”
She would normally understand and let go, but today, because Professor Choi Tae Hyuk had pinpointed her whereabouts, she had a lump in her throat.
Why was it that her younger brother could live as he pleased, but she couldn’t have her independence because of her job?
Na Young picked up a few grains of rice with her chopsticks, and finally, the words sprang from her mouth.
“Mom, can’t I live on my own?”
The moment she uttered those words, she realized.
She hadn’t spoken her desires in front of her parents for a very long time.
The day started with Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s message, which felt more like a command.
She didn’t particularly like the arbitrary change in schedule, but she didn’t make a fuss about it.
There were not many days left for Mrs. Hwang to come for her health checkup and her to go and pick up the lunchbox.
When Na Young visited Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s office at lunchtime, she was surprised to see the yellow and black fish in the aquarium on the windowsill.
“Why is the black fish here?”
It was the fish she had decided to raise.
“You forgot it.”
She hadn’t forgotten, she planned to pick it up that day.
“Give it to me now.”
“No. I can’t give it to you until you find a place outside the hospital.”
As soon as he set conditions for the fish, which he had clearly bought for her to raise, Na Young made a frustrated face.
“My room is a hundred times better than raising it in the hospital accommodation.”
Na Young couldn’t deny his words.
The hospital accommodation was a space designed only for sleep. It wasn’t suitable for keeping fish.
“Why did you buy it for me then?”
“I thought you received the black fish because you wanted to find a house.”
In the end, it was her fault.
Unable to find words to refute, Na Young glared at Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s face in silence, then noticed there were not one but two lunchboxes on the table.
Surprised, Na Young asked,
“Did you also have a lunchbox, Professor?”
“No, Mrs. Hwang made it because she thought I would eat with you today.”
She had gotten used to Mrs. Hwang’s lunchboxes and had even met him outside the hospital yesterday, but Na Young was still wary of this familiarity.
“Please don’t do this from tomorrow.”
“Just sit down.”
Tae Hyuk gestured for her to sit, seeing that she was still standing.
Just as Na Young was about to sit down facing him, her cell phone rang.
Thinking it was a call for work, both she and Tae Hyuk froze.
Na Young pulled out her phone to check, then reassured,
“It’s my younger brother.”
Tae Hyuk also relaxed and opened the lunchbox.
Na Young walked towards the window to take her brother’s call.
“Why?”
[Did you tell Mom that you want to live independently?]
Her mother said she would look for a chance to discuss it with her father.
It seemed like her discussion about independence came up during breakfast after she had gone to work today.
“Alright.”
[If Dad wants to leave the house.]
Her younger sibling sighed even before finishing their sentence.
He was picking up eel with his chopsticks.
“……Alright. Let’s stop.”
[You’re okay with it? Really meeting someone?]
“No. I said I’m not leaving home.”
Clunk.
Having hung up, Na Young walked over to Tae Hyuk and sat down next to him.
He was still just looking at the eel, not eating it.
“Why aren’t you eating?”
This seemed to be the first time eel had come out as a side dish in her lunchbox.
Since eel is a stamina food, Na Young felt a bit nervous.
She hadn’t expected that Madam Hwang would express her affection in this way.
“You eat first.”
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk put some eel on her rice.
Na Young immediately picked up the eel and moved it back to his rice bowl.
“Professor, you should eat more.”
“If I eat a lot, it’s trouble.”
They argued over who should eat the eel first, and in the end, she lost.
Just as Na Young was about to take a bite of eel, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk asked.
“Why did your sibling call?”
“Cough!”
She nearly threw up Madam Hwang’s eel.
When she suddenly started coughing heavily, Tae Hyuk quickly opened a bottle of water and handed it to her.
Na Young took the water bottle and gulped down the water.
Only then did she calm down a bit.
Feeling that Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s steady gaze on her face meant that he wanted an answer, Na Young reluctantly said.
“Cough. Dad won’t allow me to be independent.”
She left out the part about the arranged meeting.
She felt needlessly guilty even though she hadn’t done anything wrong.
“Then you have no place but our house.”
“I don’t like it there.”
“Then, I will raise Oh Seung Joon at our house, so you can go there.”
Na Young paused at that unexpected suggestion.
Seung Hee was currently living with her brother, Seung Joon.
So he meant that she should live with her best friend, Seung Hee.
That wasn’t a bad suggestion for her at all.
“Has Professor Oh given his permission?”
Asking the perfectly fine Professor Oh to leave his own house and live in someone else’s, would he like that?
If he were in his right mind, he would naturally hate it.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk put another piece of eel on her rice bowl while he confidently assured her.
“He has no choice but to allow it if I say so.”
By now, it seemed like she should be worried for Professor Oh Seung Joon.
“Why are you so concerned about my independence?”
Her father opposed it, her mother didn’t have the strength to convince him, and she had almost given up.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk answered casually while eating.
“You need a house to raise Kka Mang Ee, don’t you?”
At the mention of Kka Mang Ee, Na Young giggled.
“And whenever you see Kka Mang Ee, you’ll think of me.”
Na Young stopped laughing and looked at his face.
First, he brainwashed her with food, now even the pet fish.
“Are you trying to tame me now?”
