Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 226 Forms of Love

Night, Paula's house.

After eating and drinking her fill, Deok-sun lay on the ground kicking her legs to lose weight. Since being fed by Seo-woo, she had gained a lot of weight.

Bora sat at her desk reading a book and taking notes, glancing at Deok-sun every now and then, and then at the phone.

She glanced at the time anxiously; the time she had agreed upon with Sunwoo was almost up, and she was still thinking about how to avoid Deoksun.

Last time, Deok-sun found out that Sun-woo had confessed to her, and Deok-sun had already talked to her for a long time before they actually started dating. Bora really didn't want Deok-sun to know.

But she didn't expect that, apart from the adults, everyone in the alley already knew about their affair.

"Hey, Sung Deok-sun."

Bora glanced at Deok-sun and called out.

Deok-sun immediately stopped exercising, pulled her legs back, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes, all in one smooth motion.

“Heh~” Bora couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at Deok-sun, who was already so obedient.

"Hey, is this what you want to hear?"

Paula opened the drawer and took out a music cassette tape.

Deok-sun opened her eyes and looked at her incredulously, as if to say something.

Has Sung Bora gone mad?

Why are you being so sensible today?

Has love clouded her judgment?

"Don't forget it."

Seeing Deok-sun's strange look, Bora retreated as a last resort and prepared to put away the cassette tape.

“No, no, no~”

"I want it! I want it!"

"give it to me."

Although she didn't know what Bora was up to, Deok-sun wasn't willing to let this opportunity slip away.

Before, he had to be careful not to eavesdrop, fearing Paula would find out, but now benefits were being offered to him.

Deok-sun happily took the cassette case, turned around, took out her Walkman, opened the case, took out the cassette, and inserted it into the Walkman.

She pressed the switch, and as the music started playing, Deok-sun happily picked up the earphones and put them in her ears.

Ten seconds later, Bora, who was "focused" on her studies, put down her pen, walked to Deok-sun's side, and quietly moved the phone under her as she covered herself with the blanket.

Bora glanced cautiously at Deok-sun, then at the time: 00:33 AM. She was already more than 3 minutes past the time she had agreed to meet Sun-woo.

"Why haven't they called yet?"

"are you asleep?"

Paula picked up the phone, ready to dial, but then she thought of Sunwoo's mother and gave up the idea.

He glanced at Deok-sun beside him, realizing that not everyone could be as easily fooled as Deok-sun.

A single cassette tape was enough to lull Deok-sun into a peaceful sleep.

Paula rested her head on her hands, staring blankly at the phone, a hint of expectation and hesitation flashing across her face from time to time.

Just as Deok-sun suspected, Bora had really gone mad, as she was so tenderly watching over the phone.

Perhaps when she decided to accept Sunwoo's love, that love had already become a sweet treat in her eyes.

Every interaction between her and Sunwoo, though making her afraid of being discovered by others, also made her look forward to it even more.

..........

Sunwoo's family

A door was quietly opened, and Sunwoo tiptoed out of the room.

Her footsteps were light, as if she were afraid of waking her mother and Pearl in the next room.

Just as he walked toward the phone and quietly picked it up, a blurry figure appeared, opened the door, and stood behind him.

Sunwoo unplugged the phone line, picked up the phone, and turned around.

"Ouch!"

Sunwoo took two steps back in fright, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who it was.

"Brother, I need to pee."

Pearl looked at Sunwoo and said sincerely.

"Oh, okay, Pearl, go pee."

Sunwoo put down the phone, glanced around quietly, and, relieved to find that his mother hadn't woken up, took Pearl towards the bathroom.

The minute hand of the clock hanging on the wall has quietly pointed to the number 9.

........

Paula's Room

Paula, who had been staring at the phone for a while, yawned, looking sleepy.

"Dingling bell~"

The phone rang once, and Bora woke up instantly, quickly picking up the phone, afraid that Deok-sun would be awakened by the ringing.

"Hey, why are you only calling now?!"

Bora glanced at Deoksun and, finding her still unconscious, questioned the person on the other end of the phone.

"I'm sorry, sister, Mom seems very happy today, she stayed up especially late."

"How is it? Is Deok-sun asleep?"

Sunwoo asked curiously.

Bora glanced at Deoksun, whose drool had dripped onto the pillow, and spoke into the phone with a look of disgust.

"Yeah, they sleep like pigs, they wouldn't even know if someone carried them away."

Just as Bora finished speaking, Deok-sun blew her nose twice in her sleep, which fit Bora's description even better. Even Sun-woo heard a faint "pig" sound.

Is your mother asleep?

"Where's Pearl? Is she asleep too?"

Paula, equally suspicious, asked the same question.

"Yeah, don't worry, sis."

"Pearl is sleeping right now beside me."

Sunwoo glanced at Pearl, who was fast asleep beside him, and replied with a smile.

"What? Does Pearl always sleep with you?"

Paula asked curiously.

"No, she just got up to pee."

"Then she wanted to come back to my room to sleep, so I just took her in."

Sunwoo explained the reason.

"So kind," Paula said with a smile and a slight pout.

"Sis, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

"How about we go see a movie tomorrow night?"

When Sunwoo mentioned watching a movie, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"Why are you watching a movie? Aren't you going back to school soon?"

Paula smiled and said in an annoyed tone.

"But it's nighttime."

"Sister, look how quiet the alley is at night now."

"I guess everyone's already asleep, right?"

Sunwoo said.

"Of course! Look at the time! Who's like you?"

"Making phone calls so late."

"It would be strange if the alley was not quiet."

Paula laughed and complained.

Sunwoo listened to Bora's reply but didn't answer; he just kept laughing into the phone.

Paula realized what was happening when she heard his laughter.

This guy is giving her a hint.

"Puch~~"

Bora chuckled into the phone, sounding annoyed, but then quickly covered her mouth and shut up when she saw Deok-sun roll over.

They breathed a sigh of relief only after Deok-sun fell asleep again.

Ah ~

This love is so secretly sweet!

........

Kim Sung-kyun's room

In her sleep, Luo Meilan suddenly dreamed that she was being murdered, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not breathe or scream.

She opened her eyes when she was covered in sweat.

Only then did he realize that his fate was being held tightly by the neck by Kim Sung-kyun.

"Cough cough~~ cough~"

Luo Meilan patted his arm, but he was pressed down so hard that she could only cough and couldn't make a sound.

In his dream, Kim Sung-kyun, for reasons unknown, tightened his arms around her.

He kept muttering to himself.

"Wife~ Don't leave me~"

Luo Meilan couldn't speak, but upon hearing this muttered sound, her face turned even more ashen, and she quickly pinched his arm hard with her hand.

Ra Mi-ran: Wake up, you bastard!

If you don't let go, I'm really leaving!

No, he passed away!

Ra Mi-ran struggled to break free from Kim Sung-kyun's deathly embrace.

Ah ~

This love is suffocating!
