I don't know what else to do to ask Hye Jin for help
I can't force hye jin to threaten her anymore, I don't want to be like deok mi who threatens and forces her to replace my wife
When hye jin left me, a few minutes I was fixated with my kneeling position, I thought this was the only limit of my ability to ask hye jin for help, the rest hye jin took his decision
I stood up and walked back to Hye Jin's house
From afar I followed hye jin and saw her walking behind me, hoping she would turn her back and say she was willing to help me
But.it was just my delusion, hye jin walked straight ahead without looking back at me, and I arrived at hye jin's house
Hye Jin stood beside her mother, and the driver oh immediately greeted me and stood beside me
"Mrs.we kindly say goodbye, thanks for the green tea that has been provided for us, we feel our body temperature becomes warm" I said and bowed my body as a sign of respect to mother hye jin
Hye jin lowered her head without looking at my face, and refused to look me in the eye
I went down the stairs
And hye jin's mother's voice gave me hope
"Wait!!!"
"You've come all the way from Chicago, stay a few days here"
"DATE!!!" shouted hye jin who disagreed with her mother's words
"If it's too long for a few days, at least a day to straighten your body that has been tired sitting on the plane seat" said mother hye jin again
"Yomma!!! Why you..."
"Arrggghhh" shouted hye jin who was stepped on his feet by his mother
"Hye Jin be polite to guests, I know you've been staying in Chicago for a long time, but I hope you don't forget how to appreciate guests who come from far away" said Hye jin's mother
"Nne ahjumma gamsahamnida" I said with a smile
Hye jin's mother prepared a warm soup and tomyum scallop for my lunch, I really miss this typical Korean food, how not, it has been a dozen years I did not taste typical Korean food, I'm always served western specialties from my personal chef
I saw hye jin who bent her face with a cynical look at me while giving a glass to drink
"Sir.the face of the lady was very similar when Madame Sung asked me to drive her to the office"
I just smiled at the driver ohh with his statement and continued my meal
After eating, I tried to approach hye jin who was peeling garlic in the house
Deftly the ohh driver sat next to hye jin and helped peel the pile of garlic he was working on
I hesitated to help hye jin and just observed how to peel onions
I sat down and held a knife to peel the garlic
"Master.let me alone"
"Ahh.I want to try it ohh driver" I said, while hye jin just glanced at me for a while and focused on peeling back the garlic without talking anything
I tried it, slowly but surely I can peel garlic
We peel the onions without talking anything until we finish peeling the pile of garlic
Hye Jin did not say a word
He went inside and brought a pile of peeled garlic
Then Hye jin went out of the house and left the house to go to the beach and dried cuttlefish squid in the sun
I followed hye jin and met his father
"Dad, let me be here" said hye jin.
I swiftly helped hye jin to lift a large container filled with squid
Hye Jin was surprised to see me who suddenly appeared and helped lift the container containing the squid and accidentally removed the container to make the smell fall on the sand
Damn.I think I made a mistake.
Hye Jin closed his eyes and took a deep breath and let out a strong gust
"Mah.gwaenchan* "
"It is better for guests to sit at home, there is no need to help the host hahaha" said Hye jin's father kindly
Hye jin fell silent and picked up the squid and put it in the bucket for cleaning
I went back to hye jin's house and saw hye jin's mother cleaning up the clams and scallops in large quantities
I helped brush the clams and scallops of the catch today
"Aigoo..gomawo* young man"
"I think you're gifted to work rough here, hahaha" said Hye jin's mother
"Ahh you should change clothes when working rough like this, not suitable to wear a shirt for the office" said the middle-aged woman
I and the driver oh were given the same pants and the same typical worker clothes that Hye jin wore
These clothes are very comfortable when used for work, and hot weather near the beach
And there was no feeling of the red sun and a group of beach birds rumbling a sign that they would return to their respective cages
"Pfftt." said hye jin for a moment and shut his mouth tightly and passed the way leaving us inside the house.
I feel like my stomach is charging me to fill up right away
I think working rough makes me want to eat a lot
And sure enough we ate together and roasted scallops and shells that we had rubbed in the house, not to forget also with shrimp and smelt
"Wahh, even though you live abroad, but your expertise in washing shells is extraordinary" said Hye jin's father
"Look at this shell, the shell is very shiny when on this grill wahh daebak*
Hye jin's father's praise was a little exaggerated, but somehow made me happy to hear it
"Stay a few days here, we feel helped by you hahaha." said father hye jin.
"Hahahaha.nne ahjussi I also love being here, ahjumma cuisine is very good" I said
"But tomorrow I have to go back, because there's still a lot to take care of"
"Hahaha.i'm glad hye jin has a boyfriend from abroad and takes him home"
"I don't think he's going to want to bring his friend here to be ashamed of the family's home and economy"
"Appa*!!!" Shouted hye jin
"Hahaha.see temperament my daughter, I fear no man will marry her, because of her stubbornness and irritability" said the father of hye jin confided
Hye Jin looked at his father cynically and took the scallop I wanted to take and put in his bowl
"Yes.hye jin, leave the mature for guests, I see you always take food that is ripe" said mother hye jin
Hye jin was indifferent and kept eating it, as if she was unhappy with our presence
Just now I felt the warmth of the hye jin family, before long the sound of my phone rang and I saw 'father-in-law' calling me
I flicked my meal and got permission to pick up my phone
"Jin..."
"Yes dad"
"Seo jin, your mother-in-law"
"What's wrong with mom?!!" I said a little scream
"Your mother-in-law fell unconscious, the doctor said stress made her not want to eat and caused her blood sugar levels to be low and caused hypoglycemia*"
"Your mother-in-law is always delirious and says your name" my father-in-law said
"Okay dad.tomorrow I'll go back there" I said and hung up
I sat back down and everyone looked anxious with my facial expressions, including hye jin
"Sorry, dad called me to come back because my mom was sick"
"Hopefully your mother is healthy" said mother hye jin.
And I went back to dinner with the hye jin family
_____________________________________
The next day, I said goodbye to hye jin's parents and thanked him for his banquet and allowed me and the driver to stay overnight
"Thank you aunt and uncle for letting us stay and eat here"
"Ahh..casual only.toh yesterday you have also worked to help us hahahaha" said father hye jin
I bowed my head in a farewell omen to old man hye jin
I looked around me once more and wanted to say goodbye to hye jin, even when I went down the stairs I still looked back to see hye jin, but I did not find hye jin figure there
With a heavy feeling I left hangan island, and would tell father that I could not ask hye jin for help to replace deok mi
"What are you looking for? Hye jin has been waiting for you at the ferry dock since morning" said mother hye jin and made me widen my eyes
"Hye Jin wanted to wake you up to help her carry her suitcase but couldn't bear to sleep because both of you are very sleepy" said mother hye jin again
"Eomma, appa!!! Gamsahamnida" I said with seyum sumringah and subconsciously called them with father and mother
"Look so happy he called us with eomma and appa hahaha" said Hye jin's father and I left by shaking the hands of hye jin's parents
I ran to the dock and looked for the figure of Hye Jin
And it is true that I saw hye jin standing with those who were about to board the ferry ship
"Yes..ppali wa!!! His ship was about to depart" shouted hye jin calling us who was running towards him
