little me (4)
“really?”
“really.”
“Are you really going to the movies?”
Mini Me asked back with a mixture of joy and doubt on her face.
I understand that you’re happy, but I don’t understand your doubts.
Mini Me looked intently at my face and then blurted out.
“I saw it.”
“… … .”
“You saw it.”
Was that the problem?
what. Were you hiding that bucket list?
If that’s the case, they should have hidden it better. There may be limits to hiding it on a tablet PC, but if that’s the case, you should at least change the tablet password.
That tablet PC belongs to Hong Seok-young. Actually, Hong Seok-young was not using it, so I picked it up and gave it to Mini Me. She had planned to show a moderately educational broadcast, but Mini-Me’s reaction was poor, so it was abandoned again.
Taekyung Han suddenly picked it up again and started showing an animation featuring that damn cat. If he had known that Han Tae-kyung would do something like that, he wouldn’t have let Mini-Me use it in the first place… .
“You saw it right!!”
Mini Me screamed loudly and kicked my leg.
I didn’t do that, but why does she keep pulling out first? Where did it go wrong? There wasn’t anything that went wrong, right? Is it because of Han Tae-kyung? This is what Western animation is!
“I didn’t see it.”
“lie.”
“I didn’t see it.”
“What didn’t you see?”
“… … .”
It’s sharp… .
“I don’t know what it is, but you’re hiding it. Would you secretly watch Lee Rok without permission?”
Mini Me narrowed her eyes.
He looks like he’s contemplating whether to believe what I’m saying or not.
Let’s get out of our minds before we doubt any more.
“Are you bored here? “What were you doing while you were at the orphanage?”
I still don’t know how I didn’t send him to school and how I didn’t get suspicious from people around me. Although he made an excuse for being admitted to the hospital due to poor health, Lee Mi-seon investigated and found no medical records of that kind. Although she wonders if it’s better than being really sick.
Park Jung-min, the name Mini-Me used at the orphanage, was actually a registered child at birth. Unknown to his father, his mother disappeared after giving birth to a child. His disabled grandmother raised the child. He was born without a birth certificate.
I don’t know if there really was a child named Park Jung-min, or if it was fabricated on the ark. By a great coincidence, I may have borrowed the identity of a child with my mother’s name, or I may have made up that name on purpose as a label.
I would rather have the latter than have another missing child. I’m not sure if Mini Me would agree to that.
“just… .”
Mini Me stuck out her lips.
“I read the book there or something.”
“okay? Have you ever gone to the movies?”
“… … .”
Mini Me slowly raised her eyes and looked at me. The protruding lips look like a duck’s snout. Even the food here, which seemed poor to me, was much better than at the orphanage, and I could see the white, plump cheeks. … Should I exercise?
“uh… .”
Mini Me paused, wondering what she wanted to say.
My half-closed hand twitches. The thumb and little finger meet. Rub your fingertips, then open your hand again.
This is a habit I used to do when I was young and anxious.
I feel strange seeing this with my own eyes. When I was young, I used to wonder how my older brother found out about my lies, even though I was so good at hiding them.
Well, if my older brother, who is much older than me, can’t tell a lie from a child, he should go out and die. Anyway, she was the ark’s cleaner.
Whenever this happened, I curled my finger around Mini-Me’s forehead and flicked it, just like my older brother did to me. Not painfully, just enough to gently push my forehead with her fingers.
“What are you trying to hide?”
“… “But.”
“Hyung, I’m not mad at Lee Rok.”
“It’s mine.”
“It’s because you’re mean to other kids… .”
Mini Me twitched her nose. Her fidgeting hands stopped.
“I watched TV sometimes.”
“At daycare?”
“huh.”
“okay? “I saw something.”
“… It wasn’t fun. “Most of them are things I saw there.”
In labs where space is limited, we usually play a movie or something to keep the children quiet. Fortunately, I liked watching something. Because there was a world there that I had never seen before.
I keep forgetting that mine and my mini-me’s situation are different.
There was no Ark influence in the orphanage when I was there. I went to school normally, and often went out to amusement parks and movies. Since my father came to visit, I have been with him.
But he could hardly have left that small orphanage. How can you tell a child like that to stay here quietly? Even if it’s just me, I don’t like it.
It’s not like all of the pilot high schools, and I could protect at least one child if I were the only one. I should have shown the outside world at least a little bit. It’s my fault.
“Then I guess I’ll have to go see what Lee Rok hasn’t seen.”
I stroked Ui-rok’s head. Fine-textured hair passes between my fingers.
Perhaps because it was the vacation season, there were several animations that children would watch at the theater.
I told Hong Seok-young in advance.

If there’s one more thing you need… .
“Oh, I was just looking for it.”
“Mr. Wu… ?”
I took my mini-me and headed to the kitchen.
I couldn’t bring my mini-me in, so I just waved my hand to summon someone from the kitchen.
Ji Yu-geon came squirming towards me with a look on his face that said he wanted to strangle me. hmm. It’s a nostalgic look. If a newbie made that kind of facial expression, they would label him/her as a newbie. In general, it was a task that took about three months.
Taekyung Han did it in two days.
“Your face has improved a lot.”
“This?”
“You’re not dying, are you?”
“… … .”
If Ji Yu-gun had a knife in his hand, he might have stabbed me.
“Hahaha!”
Han Tae-kyung’s laughter was heard along with a loud noise from inside the kitchen. I don’t know what I did, but the flour rose like fog. I gently pushed it away with magical power.
“I will help you get away from Teacher Han.”
“Hey, didn’t Teacher Wu offer me up as a sacrifice?”
“Don’t dwell on the past.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, do you need any help?”
Ji Yu-geon seemed unsure whether he could trust me.
“uh? Huh? “Why is this like this?”
However, Han Tae-kyung’s ominous voice was heard from the kitchen.
“G-Hunter! Ji Yu-geon Hunter! chef!”
With Han Tae-kyung’s urgent cry, Ji Yu-geon’s worries ended.
“Please do me a favor.”
“Good. Then, change your clothes, take your car keys, and come out.”
“yes?”
I pointed to Mini Me.
“I’m going to go see a movie, but it’s too late to call a taxi… “You know, right?”
“… … .”
Ji Yu-geon looked like he wanted to strangle me again.
* * *
“how was it?”
“… … .”
Ui-rok drank the remaining drink with a sour face. A little bit of drink went up the straw, and a loud noise was made as the ice hit each other.
“Did you not like it?”
“… … … no.”
A voice the size of a rat’s tail leaks out of Mini Me’s mouth.
I was so excited throughout the movie that I couldn’t pretend to be anything other than that.
No matter how big a TV is, it cannot compare to a movie theater screen. Mini Me, who couldn’t take her eyes off the screen from the moment she entered the theater, jumped up from her chair when the screen came on. She said that before the movie started, she watched the commercial that was playing as if she was mesmerized.
If you provoke it a few times, it will squeal that it was fun.
However, there is no need to make him irritated when he says he is just trying to make him feel good.
“Was it fun?”
“… … .”
“You sound like fun. Shall we come again next time?”
“… “If you miss your brother.”
“If Lee Rok isn’t having fun, I’ll watch it by myself.”
“… … .”
My shoulders twitch. It’s nice because it’s so easy to understand.
“Wasn’t it fun?”
“… It was fun.”
“really?”
“huh.”
At first, Mini Me opened her mouth cautiously, but once she opened her mouth, she quickly started chattering away.
“The screen is really big! It didn’t grow that much when I saw it on TV. “I can concentrate better with the lights off.”
“It’s okay in a movie theater, but when you watch it on a tablet, you can’t watch it with the lights off.”
“no?”
“It can hurt your eyes.”
If this were me, I don’t think it would get any worse, but there’s no harm in being careful. The environment is quite important for a person’s growth.
Also, it is not good to show too much animation. There are already enough cats. I don’t know why, but there was that pink cat in Da-seon’s car driven by Ji Yu-geon. Ji Yu-gun also didn’t know why it was there.
Since I’ve already left, I thought I’d like to eat outside and then go back in. It was on Mini Me’s bucket list. At number 20 or 21.
There is nothing difficult to do. If it were a normal environment, these are things you would have done a long time ago.
“Wait a minute, Lee Rok.”
I adjusted the hat that Mini Me was wearing.
My older brother and younger sister are almost twenty years apart. Do you want to look like father and son to other people?
Aside from the complicated feelings about him being me, I understood why my brother treated me so carefully. Even if it weren’t for that, a proper person wouldn’t treat a child who isn’t even around his waist harshly. Even more so if it’s your real brother.
“You know, bro.”
“huh?”
Mini Me put on her hat.
“that… “You know where we are now.”
“huh.”
“Is that our house?”
house.
I was a little surprised by the unexpected words.
“You said the lab is not your home.”
“huh.”
“Then what about there? Is it your house?”
“… … .”
house.
It’s home.
I missed the moment to respond to the unexpected words.
Coincidentally, there were many people coming out of a nearby movie theater as if the movie had finished. I held Mini Me’s hand for fear of being swept away by the crowd. Mini Me held my hand tightly.
The answer was fixed.
“no. “That’s not home.”
“then? Don’t we live there? “I told you that home is that kind of place.”
How would you have responded if you were my brother?
My brother was also the same in that he had never owned a home.
Everything my brother explained about the house to me was abstract. A place with family. It’s warm and you can eat whatever you want. You can rest comfortably…
A place to always return to.
My brother didn’t know his exact age. He’s probably a few years younger than I am now. He lived in the institute his entire life until he reached that age. He might have given up, but he tried to get out of there until the end.
“There.”
I cleared my throat.
“It’s a place to stay for a while.”
“Then where is your home?”
house.
The short words seem strangely heavy.
Now I don’t have a home. The accommodation Hong Seok-young found near the demonstration high school and Lee Mi-seon’s pension are only temporary shelters.
I guess I need a house.
If you want to raise a child, a stable living space is essential.
I looked at my mini-me waiting for my answer. We held hands and walked slowly toward the exit of the movie theater.
“Not yet, but my brother will get it soon.”
I can’t believe that only in this way can the dream my brother wanted to achieve come true.
Human life is such a strange thing.
“really?”
Mini Me’s eyes sparkled at my words. Her face is full of anticipation.
not bad. really.
“okay. “We will have our own house soon.”
