All that occurred at present was Adam’s telephone name early within the morning. Nonetheless, her complete physique was drained and she or he felt like she was going to faint.

Hae-won, who took off all her garments, first put her toes within the bathtub. The toes sucked into the heat of water just like the roots of a plant.

“Oh, it’s chilly.”

Feeling chilly exterior, she hurried into the tub. The effervescent foam returned like a tidal wave and gently wrapped across the physique’s define.

The nice and cozy water was each snug and uncomfortable. To be actual, it was proper that the snug state of affairs was uncomfortable. In some unspecified time in the future, she refused to take a break.

Hae-won curled up like a fetus and slowly stretched her legs and leaned again. The tip of her toes rose barely by buoyancy.

Is that this how jellyfish floating within the sea really feel?

The ocean.

Jellyfish.

Two phrases persistently tore by the thoughts and regenerated a reminiscence.

‘Take a look at this. I went to the aquarium with my household over the weekend.’

‘Wow, that’s cute. What’s this?

‘Jellyfish doll.’

‘Can I contact it?’

‘Me too, me too.’

It was across the time she entered elementary college.

Certainly one of her classmates drew consideration, boasting that she went to an aquarium along with her household over the weekend.

Spending the weekend along with her household, having mother and father taking her to the aquarium, was a distinct story for Haewon.

However different youngsters took it without any consideration. She envied jellyfish dolls held by a baby who had been to an aquarium.

It was a extremely trivial discovery, however for younger Hae-won, it was a second when she realized that her life was completely different from others in nature.

Possibly that’s why.

The reminiscence of at the present time was clearly constructed over time, and now it’s performed naturally within the head like a brief movie.

And the light video of recollections modified locations.

‘Little child. Why do you look so dangerous?’

Earlier than she was completely unmotivated by life, her father known as Haewon slightly child.

Hae-won hesitated for a very long time and advised her father about what occurred at college. In fact it wasn’t all.

‘You need to see jellyfish?’

‘Sure.’

Truly, I would like us to go to the aquarium collectively on the weekend. Truly, I want I had a mom. The reality is, I’m identical to the opposite youngsters.….

She knew that saying that might solely damage her father’s coronary heart.

So Haewon selected horses and picked jellyfish solely to see. She thinks she will be able to hope for that.

“Look rigorously.”

Dad took out a crumpled cigarette pack from his again pocket and bit a cigarette in his mouth.

“Hoo.”

The white smoke from my father’s mouth swam by the winter sky like a jellyfish. Dad pointed confidently on the jellyfish he made with the tip of his cigarette.

‘Jellyfish.’

‘Hehe. It’s a jellyfish.’

Her father smiled at Haewon. Hae-won additionally laughed alongside.

However quickly, as a substitute of constructing jellyfish, Dad threatened Hae-won to place out a cigarette on her physique.

The trigger was easy.

It’s because when Chairman Search engine optimisation Cheong-do, who supplied residing bills to his father and daughter, died, he grew to become poor sufficient to barely purchase a pack of cigarettes.

Hell started then.

Ultimately, her father dabbled in playing. Finally, he took Haewon to the Philippines for an evening flight.

‘Dad, I need to go residence. Can we return to Korea? Folks right here don’t talk, I feel everybody hates me. I’m scared.’

‘Grasp in there slightly bit. If you happen to grasp in there, you’ll be like, Huh? I’ll allow you to put on fairly garments and eat scrumptious meals. I reside in a ten-bedroom home. I’ll allow you to develop lots of jellyfish. Bought it?

It was merely a phrase that got here out of the mouth of a human looking for a fortune by playing away.

Younger Hae-won didn’t want fairly garments or scrumptious rice. She didn’t want a ten-bedroom home or a jellyfish.

She simply missed the outdated days when she lived along with her dad. No, it wasn’t that way back, truly.

She thinks she will be able to return with slightly effort, however she guesses it wasn’t from the attitude of an grownup.

‘Who am I to endure for you? Do you suppose somebody wished to come back all the way in which right here? I’m making an attempt to be accountable! I’m going to take accountability for you!’

And it was dying that was ready for the daddy and the daughter on the finish.

“I did it flawed…….”

Not like the mature physique, which was submerged in water and crunching, the pleading of a frightened voice flowed from the mouth.

So Adam closed his mouth and gently lifted Haewon’s hair on her cheek.

The quick hair, which is slightly over the jawline and resembles its proprietor, was heavier than typical with gentle brown hair that was stained with water.

“Ugh, uh….”

Despite the fact that Adam rubbed the hair he grabbed in his hand, Haewon was nonetheless encroaching on the nightmare.

Ought to I wake her up?

He glanced down on the water and thought.

However he needs to maintain listening to her sick voice. He additionally wished to understand the sensual physique soaked in water.

On the similar time, when Hae-won, who got here to her senses, checked out him and imagined what sort of expression he would make when he was freaked out, his decrease abdomen throbbed pleasantly.

“……Adam.”

Adam’s eyes widened on the sudden name.

Sure?

Why my identify stated swiftly?
