52. Who are you? uh, is that really it?

Kyu-ha naturally returned to her normal daily life. And he made a big decision in his life, officially adopting Geumbi, whom he met on set.

“Meow”

Geum-bi followed Kyu-ha with amazing ease, to the point where she got into the car on her own when manager Bong-gu opened the car door. In any case, Kyu-ha walked the path of a butler.

Geumbi tended to do most of the work by herself. When he was hungry, he ate food piled up in his rice bowl on his own, and he liked to have time alone at home except when Kyu-ha was there. In any case, there was no doubt that it was a good pet for Kyu-ha to raise.

A long-awaited rest period.

As always, Gyu-ha went straight to the bluebird nursery.

“Hello, Director Kang. It’s been so long since I’ve been looking for you. sorry.”

“Ugh~ What are you talking about, Gyuha-san? Even in the midst of that busy time, you always came twice a month. That alone is enough.”

“The filming is over now, so I’ll come back often.”

“Ho-ho-ho, the kids must really like it. It was a car that was in trouble because Kyu-ha made a fuss about when he would come.”

“okay? Then I should go quickly.”

Kyu-ha went down to the second floor of the nursery school’s main building and looked into the study room. It was class time, so the children were looking at each other’s homework, but one child inadvertently looked up and found Gyu-ha.

“oh! This is Kyuha’s older brother.”

“ok? Kyuha hyung?”

“really!? Is Kyuha-hyung here?”

The eyes of the children who had been gathered all together turned toward the door at the same time, and soon Kyu-ha opened the door and came in.

“Hey guys. Haven’t you been here for a long time?”

“Ah bro!!”

“Ueng~~ Gyuha’s father.”

“Hey, you’re here now.”

The children jumped up and hugged Gyuha by the legs, and some of the children grumbled and expressed their disappointment, but they were happy to see it, and their eyes were still on Gyuha.

As he stroked the children’s backs, Kyuha conveyed his apologies.

“Sorry. I haven’t been able to come often due to work, but now I can come often.”

He didn’t say anything, but the children at the orphanage were afraid inside that Kyu-ha might never come back. I knew that I couldn’t come often because I was busy with work, but I was worried because the wounds that were once abandoned remained like scars.

Feeling the hearts of those children, Kyu-ha made a promise to come more often in the future, and naturally melted into the children like the person she met yesterday, helping them study and listening to their worries, and had a great time.

“Guys, are you hungry? Let’s have a pizza and chicken party today.”

“Wow~~ Pizza~ Chicken~ Hooray!!!”

The children expressed their joy by jumping around at the news of the pizza and chicken party.

***

Common dining room in the orphanage.

Already inside the restaurant, children were stomping their feet, waiting only for pizza and chicken.

“I’m hungry.”

“Hang in there. It is time to come.”

“Delivery has arrived!”

“come!!!!”

Pizza and chicken arrived in good timing, and when they were set on the table, the restaurant was filled with a savory smell.

“Great! It’s my favorite pepper-poshashi boneless chicken! Plus, the pizza is a cheese crust pizza topped with sweet potato mousse!”

“Guys, I should say thank you to Kyuha hyung for buying me something delicious.”

“Hyung, I’ll eat well!”

“Thank you brother!!”

waguwagu

“It’s so delicious.”

The children, who were growing up, ate chicken and pizza without hesitation.

“Please eat some too, Director.”

“Hoho, I ate something earlier, so I’m not that hungry. If there’s anything left, I’ll have to taste it and see. Gyuha-san, please eat some.”

“I’m not hungry either, so I’ll eat some if I have leftovers.”

Knowing what each other was thinking, they both smiled similarly and just watched the children eat. Even though I ordered quite a lot, the pizza and chicken were not long, and the children full of satiety tapped on their bulging stomachs.

“Oh, I was full and it was so delicious.”

“Hyunmin, give me a Coke. I think I ate too much.”

At that time, Hyunmin blankly watched TV and said.

“I envy you…”

As if bewitched by Hyun-min’s words, the eyes of the children turned to the TV at the same time, and there was a popular entertainment show ‘Batman came home’ on YBS these days. It was about going on a trip.

Choi Jong-baek visited Jeju Natural Ecological Park to teach children the importance of animal protection, and the children were playing with deer and their father Choi Jong-baek looking at the scene with a smile was reflected.

“I like deer too…”

“I hope… Jeju Island Heuing.”

Gyu-ha suddenly opened her mouth when tears welled up in her eyes right away, like children who are sensitive to emotions.

“let’s go. Jeju Island together. Um… next week.”

“Huh really?”

“really really? bro are you real? Oppa doesn’t lie, so it must be true!! Aww~~~!!!”

“Jeju Island~ Jeju Island~ Jeje Jeju Island~ I am going to Jeju Island too~~”

At Kyuha’s bombshell remarks, the children expressed their joy with their whole bodies by dancing on the spot as if they were sad.

“Then, I know you’re going next week, so prepare diligently as well. You guys have to research and find out what you want to do and what you want to eat, okay?”

“Your brother!!”

“Okay, brother! Do not worry about it. I am very good at browsing the internet!!!”

Excited children have already fallen in love with each other, chatting about what is on Jeju Island and what is delicious.

Director Anna Kang slightly called Kyu-ha and asked with a worried expression.

“Kyuha-san, are you okay? The cost of the flight, lodging, and food must be quite high…”

“Director. That director has more money than you think. And as you know, I don’t go anywhere to play or buy anything, so I don’t have to spend money. This much doesn’t bother me, so don’t worry too much.”

“It’s because I’m sorry and thank you for nothing.”

“Is there a house that says sorry for spending money on a family? I think I learned that money spent on family is not wasted.”

In response, Director Kang Anna held Kyu-ha’s hand with a moved expression and said.

“Kyuha is right. We are a family. Sure, it’s family.”

“But why do you keep using honorifics for your family? Please speak at ease now, Director.”

As for what kind of change had occurred in her heart, Director Anna Kang answered with a smile.

“Kyuha, when did you say that? Are you late? Ho ho ho.”

“Ha ha, I didn’t notice. Anyway, I’ll tell you when I finish my schedule and reservations, so the director is preparing too.”

“Yes, Kyuha. The kids like it that much, so I’ll ask you a favor. It’s my first time on Jeju Island, so I’m looking forward to it!”

“I will make it an unforgettable trip to Jeju Island.”

***

Jeju Seogwipo Airport.

About 10 children, director Kang Anna, and Kyu-ha wearing sunglasses and a hat arrived in Jeju Island.

“Wow, look at that tree. It must be a palm tree.”

“It’s warm! Seoul is still a bit cold!”

The children, who had been on a plane for the first time, did not realize that they had arrived in Jeju, but after seeing the palm trees at the airport, they were excited about the realization that they had set foot in Jeju for the first time.

“Guys, if you don’t listen to your mother when you come all the way to Jeju Island, I will go back to Seoul. So you have to listen carefully, okay?”

“Yes, mother-in-law!!”

Like a baby bird waiting for food, the children answered with a unanimous voice.

Gyu-ha came to pick up the rental car he had reserved. In the first place, I had never done anything like travel, so I had finished all the reservations, including rental cars and accommodations, with the help of manager Bong-gu.

Gyu-ha, who had driven a large 12-seater van, took the children and Director Kang Anna to their first destination.

“The first stop is the Stuffed Animal Museum. Make sure the person next to you is wearing a seat belt, and then we’ll leave.”

“Waaa~”

With the cheers of the children, the first outing to Jeju started.

Middle school and elementary school students enjoy touching various stuffed animals.

“Wow~ The doll is bigger than me! There are a lot of big dolls, huh? It even moves! It’s so strange.”

“More fun than an amusement park.”

All of the children could not hide their excitement at the trip to Jeju Island, which they had never visited before.

In the popular corner with a teddy bear the size of a large tent, he waited for his turn, expressing his anticipation to the fullest, and captured memories of his trip to Jeju on his cell phone camera.

Director Kang Anna also showed satisfaction with the trip with a slightly refreshed expression, as if she was in a good mood after a long time out.

“It’s so nice to travel together and have a good experience rather than staying at home during vacation. It’s all thanks to Kyuha.”

“Whenever a chance arises in the future, we often come together like this. I have been to Jeju Island for the first time, but I think I will want to come again.”

“Is this your first time on Jeju Island? Among young people these days, there are no kids who haven’t been to Jeju Island. What the hell did Kyu-ha do?”

“I don’t particularly like to travel, so I didn’t have a chance. I think it was really good that we all came together this time.”

From Kyuha’s point of view, she didn’t have any friends around her, and she felt tired of going through a new environment every time she dreamed of it, so she didn’t feel the need to travel.

However, seeing the happy children on the trip with the family from the orphanage, I thought it was a good idea to come on the trip.

“Guys! now i have to go to the next one Gather quickly.”

At Gyuha’s low cry, the scattered children gathered in an orderly manner in an instant.

“Oh, it was fun. I am satisfied.”

“Where are you going next?”

“Next, I’m going to experience tangerine picking. The tangerines you picked are going to be eaten later for dinner, so we should choose the ones that are delicious and pick them?”

“Oops! I have to pick up the most.”

The next place Kyu-ha moved to was a place called Hayeong Tara Tangerine Experience Farm, where you can experience picking tangerines in Jeju Island.

As soon as I parked in the vacant lot, I saw a tangerine field with delicious orange tangerines stuck in the lush trees.

The owners were a good-looking couple in their 50s, and they treated us very kindly, perhaps because they told us in advance that they were traveling from an orphanage.

The owner guided the children to the tangerine field and told them which tangerines to pick and how to pick them.

“First of all, tangerines are more delicious when they are on the top where they receive a lot of sunlight. Also, tangerines that are a little bigger than your fist taste better than tangerines that are too big. Eh… Ah! I almost forgot something important. This is a great tip! Each tangerine tree has a slightly different taste, so try forgetting one or two first, and if you find it delicious, pick a tangerine from that tree and it will be delicious.”

“yes!!!”

The tangerine picking experience lasted about an hour, and the children were busy picking tangerines running around, as if they liked the vast tangerine field.

“Wow, look at this, mine is so big!”

“Hey, is mine bigger? Where did the little boy bring tangerines?”

“huh! Didn’t the old man say it’s not tasty when it’s that big?”

The corners of the children’s mouths that went up did not intend to come down, as if they really liked the experience of picking tangerines, which they had never done before.

“Oh, it’s heavy. I must have won too much.”

At the end of the tangerine experience, the children were holding a bunch of tangerines in pretty wrapping paper.

“Now, are you all hungry from having fun?”

“Yes, I’m hungry bro!”

“They say that if you come to Jeju Island, you must eat black pork belly. So, let’s unpack at the dorm and have a barbecue.”

“Oops!!! It’s a party~”

Kyu-ha paid special attention to the accommodation, which was a resort called ‘Wonderful Jeju and Village’ with a view of Hyeopjae Beach in Jeju Island.

“Wow, the house is great.”

“Since the sea is close, you can hear the sound of the waves!”

The accommodation was tidy, and most of all, the children seemed to like the scenery of the beautiful Jeju beach seen up close, and all the children clung to the windows and watched the beautiful evening sunset and the red-dyed Jeju sea.

“Get some rest and come down to the barbecue by 6:30 later. Changhyun, you are the best hyung, so take care of the kids.”

“Yes, I understand, brother.”

I left the children in charge with Changhyeon, who seemed quite dignified as a middle school student, and set up the food at the barbecue. Food began to be set on the table at a speed that was unbelievable that it was done alone.

Chi profit.

When the pre-bought thick Jeju pork belly was placed on the grill, a savory smell spread all over the place along with a fantastic sound.

At 6:30, hungry children came down to the barbecue.

“Look at the smell. This is crazy.”

“Ah, I’m going crazy with hunger~ Give me some food, hyung.”

“It’s done now.”

The outside was crispy with the Maillard reaction to bring out the texture, and the inside was juicy, so when the moist black pork belly went into the mouths of the children, they forgot to react and began to inhale it frantically.

“Kyuha, you worked so hard from start to finish today. I’m so glad you’re there.”

“Director Kang, don’t talk like that. I do it because I enjoy it.”

“Thank you so much for saying that…”

Kyu-Ha’s sincerity made Director Kang Anna’s heart feel lighter, then Director Kang Anna’s phone rang.

I picked up the phone and checked the caller, but Kang Anna tilted her head once as if it was an unknown number and pressed the green call button.

“Yes hello. This is Anna Kang. How did you call me? yes? Who are you? Is that, really?”
