Jongseok smiled and said as if everyone was welcoming him.
이종석
Sit down. I already ordered.
Everyone sat down and Nubble, who was sitting next to Jongseok, spoke.
워너블
My cousin...
이종석
Haha, maybe I was joking a little too much..
이대휘
ah..
Jong-seok speaking while looking at Daniel
이종석
Um, shall we talk a little later?
다니엘
Oh..oh my..yes..
The food came out just as everyone was starting to panic, and everyone was hungry, so they ate while keeping an eye on Jongseok.
이종석
Huh... Focus on the food? I can't eat...
Ji-hoon, who had been nodding while looking at Jong-seok who was smiling and saying what he wanted to say, opens his mouth.
박지훈
Um...can I call you hyung?
이종석
Ah, brother, that's good
하성운
Haha..I haven't heard that Nubble has any relatives..
다니엘
Sorry for the first time...
이종석
It's okay. You can speak informally to someone when you first meet them, right?
He said it with a smile, but it didn't mean he was okay at all.
워너블
Oppa... let's eat
이종석
Ah.. If you've finished eating, go find some flowers. Do you know the way?
워너블
Ah..I know..I'm alone?
이종석
Yeah, I'll talk to my friends too.
I glanced around at the kids, but they all had expressions telling me not to go, so I was in an awkward position.
이종석
Why would I eat it? Is it uncomfortable for everyone?
옹성우
Oh no haha
황민현
Have a nice day..Nubble
Noble sighs and says as he looks at people who are trying to smile
워너블
I'll be back soon.. Don't worry, oppa.
Jong-seok, who had been smiling with his eyes closed, waves his hand and sends Nubble away.
Jongseok opens his mouth as Nubble leaves.
이종석
Since you don't know me, I guess Nubble didn't tell you... I have something to tell you from now on. What I always tell Nubble is a secret.
Jongseok's expression changed to one of bitterness.
이종석
You know that Nubble lives alone, right?
이대휘
Oh.. I know you said you live alone..
Dae-hwi opened his mouth and Jong-seok continued speaking.
이종석
Alone... Hmm... I thought we were close since we came this far... but it seems like Nubble isn't opening up easily?
Ji-hoon has doubts about Jong-seok's words
박지훈
What are you talking about?
이종석
I am Nubble's aunt's son. Nubble's father's older sister's son. Nubble's parents are still alive.
Woojin said with a frown.
박우진
Oh... are you alive?
이종석
Yeah, Nubble's parents abandoned him when he was young. They divorced and remarried. At that time, Nubble was only 10 years old.
김재환
Ah.. 10 years old..
이종석
We lived together since then, but I'm an only child haha I really liked my younger sibling and I cherished him a lot so
이종석
Because I was abandoned, I wanted to live independently. I couldn't refuse people who liked me or treated me well, even if they approached me with malicious intent.
이종석
One of them is my mom.
Everyone's eyes widened at Jongseok's words.
이종석
Noble's parents are rich, so they've already given him a lot of money. It's not like he should be receiving money at such a young age.
이종석
I apologized with money. Noble's parents, and my mom too, for some reason, wanted the money so they brought Noble here.
배진영
Oh.. So, does Nubble know that?
이종석
Yeah, I know now.. I found out by overhearing my parents talking, but before becoming an adult, Nubble inevitably needed a guardian.
이종석
I held it in until I became an adult and told my parents that Nubble knew everything. That was when Nubble was in his first year of high school. My mom was so embarrassed that she said she couldn't be with Nubble anymore.
이종석
But that day, Nubble caught the person who had deceived him. Nubble was most afraid of being alone.
이종석
That day, my mother also came to her senses. She really started taking care of Nubile not because of money, but the wounds were already too deep for them to heal.
이종석
What...is it awkward between us now? As you can tell from the story, there's no one you can really rely on. I'm your aunt's son, so why would you want to open up to me about anything?
이종석
Please, you said you came to take Nubble away, right?
Jong-seok speaks while looking at the children whose expressions have changed to somewhat serious ones.
이종석
I hope Nubile is happy
