Second adoption
05. Lee Ji-hoon's trauma


A Sunday with nothing to do…

I woke up and was just scrolling through my phone.

-dripping-

Then someone knocked on the door.


김여주
who are you…?

가정부
Miss, it's me~ Come have breakfast!


김여주
Yes, I will go out

The first thing I saw when I sat down was Lee Ji-hoon.

I couldn't help but feel more anxious because he stopped eating after seeing me on Friday.


이지훈
under…

I'm going to wake up and try to eat again.


이지훈
I'll stop eating

가정부
Oh my, Master, you can’t do that…


이지훈
why?

가정부
Do you think I don't know that every time you skip breakfast, you sneak into your room and eat three bowls of meat and rice?


이지훈
What do you want me to do when the food tastes bad?

With those words, Lee Ji-hoon went into his room.


서명호
As expected, it's Jihoon hyung... He ate three bowls of rice each...


윤정한
But why does the food taste bad? It's delicious.

Those words stung

It's hard to swallow rice

The only thing that kept popping into my head was the thought that the food was losing its flavor.

가정부
Miss, are you feeling unwell?


김여주
Oh no…

가정부
So, does the food not suit your taste?


김여주
No, it's not like that... I just don't have an appetite... I'll go up first... I'm sorry, ma'am.

가정부
No, miss, go up and get some rest.

So I went up to the room


김여주
ha…

I keep getting worried for some reason

-Thud-

Then someone opened the door


김여주
Who is it! Huh…?


문준휘
Sorry, I forgot to knock.


김여주
Ah… no


문준휘
It's my little sister's first time... I'll be more careful in the future since I just open the door to other kids' rooms and go straight in.


김여주
yes…

Did a brief silence pass?

Moon Jun-hwi spoke up


문준휘
Does the food taste bad?


김여주
No… absolutely not


문준휘
So… are you perhaps feeling burdened by us…?


김여주
No, not at all


문준휘
Then what happened…?

Lee Ji-hoon's brother flashed through my mind.

But I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud

If these guys are on Lee Ji-hoon’s side…

I had a feeling that if I spoke up, he might do something to me.

It might not be true, but Lee Ji-hoon did something to me.


김여주
…


문준휘
Yeah, if it's hard to say, you don't have to.


김여주
Yes... I'm sorry


문준휘
There's nothing to be sorry about. What are you sorry for? If you have any difficulties, please tell me anytime. I'll help you.


김여주
yes…


문준휘
Oh, I’m not just stealing your alone time or anything…?


김여주
Absolutely not. Thank you for your concern.


문준휘
Okay, then get some rest.

Jun-hwi oppa went out

I somehow felt like I could trust that guy.


김여주
Haha, I think I feel a little better now.

-Thud-

Then someone opened the door and came into my room.


김여주
Who else…?

It became ice for a moment

I felt suffocated

The person who opened the door was none other than…

It was Lee Ji-hoon's older brother


이지훈
Hey you


김여주
yes…?


이지훈
What did you say to Moon Jun-hwi earlier?


김여주
I didn't say anything...

I was shaking without realizing it


이지훈
Is it true?


김여주
yes…


이지훈
Oh and

What are you going to say next?


이지훈
Don't eat at the same time as me.


김여주
yes…?


이지훈
I told you to eat earlier or later than me because I can't eat because the food tastes bad because of you.


김여주
yes…

After I finished speaking, Lee Ji-hoon left the room.

When Lee Ji-hoon oppa appears in front of my eyes

When I spoke to you

Judging by the way I was shivering

I am…

I think Lee Ji-hoon has some trauma.


껄렁

껄렁

껄렁
