I'm from Joseon, Young Master.
29 | Assignment Mate(?)
[I am a thief]
Anyway, it is true that the female lead said she would draw the picture, but the one who initially caused this situation is Jeong-guk.
Watching the female protagonist shedding tears because she couldn't solve the problem she started... I feel guilty for no reason.
전정국
Hey... don't cry.
전정국
If Yeoju cries... I'll be in more trouble.
설여주
Your Majesty... you shouldn't be in trouble...
The female protagonist, as if asking when she had cried, wipes away her tears and gets up from her seat at Jeongguk's words.
I pick up the rag again and rub the ink stain with all my might.
When Jeongguk, who had been watching from behind, takes the rag that Yeoju is holding, Yeoju looks up at him with a look that asks, "What are you doing?"
전정국
With this... it won't be erased, right?
He went into the bedroom holding a rag, and now he came back with a long plastic container.
설여주
What is it_
전정국
There's something called acetone, but I'm not sure if it will erase it.
Jungkook, who occasionally saw his mom touching her fingernails and toenails and removing her nail polish, thought of acetone.
If you soak a few cotton balls in it and rub the floor,
설여주
oh···!
전정국
It seems to be erased to some extent, right?
At the distinct change, the female protagonist, who had rabbit eyes, nods her head vigorously.
Jeongguk, who finally saw the smiling face of the female protagonist, took a deep breath and rubbed it so fast that his arm was barely visible before the paint stain completely disappeared.
전정국
I'm done_
설여주
···Your Majesty, but
The heroine gestures to the other traces spread out before her eyes.
설여주
It seems like we still have a long way to go...
설여주
Even the ink...
Even if you wipe the wallpaper with a cotton ball soaked in acetone, the marks won't budge.
설여주
It doesn't even work...
전정국
The marks on the wall... I have it all planned out.
설여주
yes?
전정국
first of all···!
전정국
I need to get rid of the marks on the floor first.
설여주
···Okay! I'll help the girl too!
전정국
Oh, no need for that. I can do this all by myself.
전정국
I've been looking at the picture, I fell asleep yesterday without seeing it.
설여주
painting···?
설여주
painting···.
설여주
painting···!
Only then does the female protagonist remember the picture of herself that Jeong-guk drew the night before, and she excitedly stamps her feet, asking where he is.
전정국
Under the sofa-.
The heroine, holding the overturned drawing paper with a bright expression, covers her mouth with one hand as soon as she looks at the painting.
설여주
Huh...
설여주
Is this really what you drew?
전정국
Did you draw it well? lol
설여주
···he
설여주
It looks exactly like the girl!
After receiving a barrage of compliments, Jungkook scratched the back of his head and muttered to himself, "It's not that bad."
Of course, Jungkook underestimated his own abilities. Anyone could see that the painting was of such high quality that it rivaled a photograph.
In short, it can be seen as a result of not even remembering the fatigue from last night's work.
전정국
I'm glad you like it.
설여주
I will keep it well-ㅎ
The female protagonist, who accepted the result, was so excited that the corners of her mouth were rising.
전정국
Ahhh...
Jeongguk, who had roughly erased the traces with a groan, put all the cotton into a garbage bag and now moved to the wall.
I was holding a brush that I had used yesterday and hadn't cleaned up.
설여주
What are your plans?
The female protagonist, who was still absorbed in Jeongguk's painting on the sofa, tilted her head as Jeongguk started walking.
전정국
There isn't a very big mark, so I'm going to cover it up.
설여주
yes···?
전정국
What would you like, flowers... or grass?
설여주
···I don't understand what you're saying··· Huh?!
Before the heroine could finish speaking, the tip of the ink-stained brush that Jeong-guk was holding touched the wall, and the heroine was startled.
설여주
master···?!
설여주
What are you doing now···!!
Even though his voice was extremely excited, he only smiled and boldly drew something with his hands, causing Yeo-ju to frown and then open her mouth wide.
설여주
···Huh?
전정국
How is it? It seems simple and okay to this extent.
Black lines drawn on ivory wallpaper. And those lines come together to form a flower of appropriate size.
설여주
Simple...?
전정국
Oh, it's simple.
설여주
aha-.
설여주
...But, I wonder if your family will like it...
전정국
Hmm, I can't guarantee that, but
전정국
I have to make you like it... right?
Jungkook chuckles as if he doesn't even believe his own words.
Only after he has finished the finishing touches and checked that there are no more parts to be touched does he begin to organize his tools.
The female protagonist, who had been just watching, also helped Jeong-guk.
전정국
From yesterday to today, I've been through a lot of physical hardships.
Jungkook, whose body is quite sore, keeps tapping his neck and turning his head to rub his shoulder.
설여주
Can I help you, girl?
전정국
Oh, it's okay-.
전정국
Even if I do it, it will all be resolved to some extent.
"My hands are cold, so you'll feel better," says the doctor, while the woman, who had no intention of listening to him in the first place, massages both of Jeongguk's shoulders.
설여주
Eek- My muscles are really tight!
전정국
Ah... I said it's okay...
설여주
Are you feeling refreshed, my lord?
설여주
I don't get pushed around by this massage wherever I go.
전정국
I think so, it's refreshing.
To the two people who seemed like they would have such a sweet time...
띡_띡_띡_띡-)
An unexpected uninvited guest.
설여주
···?!?!??
Both were startled at the same time. Jungkook, who had been sitting on the sofa, eventually rolled over and landed on the floor. Yeoju froze on the spot.
Clank-)
전정국
···?!
Jungkook, who peeks his head out the front door with quicker reflexes than anyone else, confirms the identity of the guest.
전정국
···mom?!?
설여주
?!?!!
Whisk, the female protagonist, who had roughly thrown the picture of Jeongguk that was on the sofa under the sofa, froze with only her eyes blinking.
이수민
What, why are you so surprised?
Sumin, who was taking off her shoes at the entrance, asked if her mother was upset because she was coming, but all she got in return was a bewildered look on Jeongguk's face.
While Jeongguk was frozen like a carbon copy of Yeoju, unable to say anything... Sumin gradually approached the living room.
So when Sumin's light footsteps finally reached the living room.
설여주
······.
The heroine and I are exactly the same.
Jungkook, caught in the middle of it all... Huh. Covering his mouth with his hand.
After the eye contact that felt like 3 minutes or 3 seconds ended... Sumin was the first to speak.
이수민
Oh, you were with a friend? Were you doing homework?
Safe.
