Snowball (4)
“I had the kids fill in the necessary items… “If you need anything else, let me know.”
It was already quite late when we arrived at the pension.
Partly because the car was pushed back, but also because Hong Seok-young said he couldn’t let his child starve and suggested that they have a quick meal at an old restaurant on the side of the road.
Although Wu Yi-rok was still wary of the two people, he finished his bowl of pork soup cleanly. Rather, I couldn’t eat properly.
“Wow, you’re eating well.”
Hong Seok-young looked at Woo I-rok with a happy face. Wooi Lok looked at Hong Seok-young blankly and buried her face in her soup.
“Would you like some more?”
Despite his fussy appearance, Lee Mi-seon, who emptied the soup cleanly, asked Woo I-rok with a proud look on her face, although she doesn’t know why.
Woo I-rok’s reaction was much sharper than Hong Seok-young’s. Ui Lok narrowed her eyes and glared at her Lee Mi-seon, then frowned openly at her.
I was thinking of saying something sharp to Woo I-rok, but when I saw Mi-seon Lee, I lowered my head with an apologetic face.
Most of the researchers in charge of Uirok at the research institute were female researchers. At this time, I was more hostile toward female adults than toward male adults.
Lee Mi-seon couldn’t tell him about the situation yet, but he smiled generously. She even showed us that she was still awake when she arrived at the pension and guided us to her room in a way that would avoid the eyes of the children. If you need anything, she tells you to tell her anytime.
I hesitated for a moment and then gestured to Lee Mi-seon.
“why?”
“Could you please call Student Taewoo first?”
“Burn it?”
“Since you’re a familiar face, I’ll let you say hello in advance.”
It would be difficult if Woo I-rok called Kang Tae-woo number 3 in front of the other children. Aside from the regretful feelings I had for No. 3 and the pitiful feelings I had for Kang Tae-woo, I did not want to carelessly reveal such sensitive information.
No matter how much I try to treat Ui-rok as the younger brother I never had, that guy is basically me. Little me. Mini me. It’s scary to see my childhood, more than twenty years old, come to life right before my eyes, but I have to admit it. Even considering that it was a long time ago and my memory is vague, I am the one who knows Mini Me best. I also know that if I make a mistake, I will have no hesitation.
Lee Mi-seon smiled brightly and nodded, whether she was aware of my consideration or not.
“It would be easier for my younger brother to get used to it if he had a familiar face.”
It’s true that you don’t know.
“I’ll call you right away.”
Lee Mi-seon quietly closed the door and left. Despite his hostile gaze, he persisted and waved friendly to his mini-me.
“Where am I?”
Mini-me frowned again as she heard Lee Mi-seon’s footsteps, which must have been made on purpose, moving away.
“Temporary accommodation.”
“Temporary accommodation?”
He should be thankful to Alex Hope. Otherwise he might have had to stay in a cheap inn.
… Hong Seok-young has a weakness for children, so if he brought her in, he might have upgraded the accommodation level. But even if that were the case, would it be as big as Dayeon’s villa?
“Brother… “I work at a place like a school.”
“school?”
“It’s a kind of special school.”
“Why do you work at school?”
“… … .”
It would be better to briefly explain the situation to Mini Me. If you don’t convince me, you won’t do as I say. A guy who takes a lot of effort.
Why couldn’t I be nicer and more polite?
“You said earlier that things went wrong, right?”
“huh.”
“Originally, I was going to take you out first… “The person who was initially supposed to help was discovered, and things became complicated in one way or another.”
Mr. Kim is dead.
“I had no choice but to leave the lab because I was afraid that it would become dangerous and that I would get involved with you too.”
There is a high probability that the original whistleblower who helped Mr. Kim also died.
Hong Seok-young also does not know the detailed circumstances. Even if I try to piece it together in a haphazard way, I have no choice but to do it.
“Contact with the outside… “By the time I had enough energy to pick you up again, the lab had been moved.”
I thought about the empty training center. It was moved on such a large scale with great care and efficiency. So much so that Lee Mi-seon still can’t find her whereabouts. There was almost no information to be retrieved from inside.
“… “Is that why you couldn’t find me?”
“huh. I only recently found a clue. “I had to disguise my identity so that the lab wouldn’t get suspicious, and that’s because I was a school teacher.”
“… … .”
Mini Me frowned more. She looked like an ugly bulldog.
… Not me. He and I are different people now. yes?
“What school is it?”
“It’s a pilot training high school for hunters… “It’s a school that trains awakened people.”
“… Awakened?”
Mini Me was deep in thought while pursing her lips. She pretended to think for a little while. It’s the same.
“Then what is number 3?”
“Student here.”
“… … .”
The face that was about to straighten out a little becomes distorted again.
Did I hate issue 3 more back then than I remember? hmm. I hope issue 3 holds up well.
“why?”
“I was following clues to find you… I found number 3. “I brought the children from the lab because I thought I might be able to find where they were moved.”
“He’s a model student. “There’s no way I can help my brother.”
helped.
Although a few things happened in between.

When the orphanage was attacked, I was somewhat sensitive, perhaps because my younger sister died, but that has disappeared recently. Although he sometimes showed signs of depression, he was closer to the good No. 3 from his lab days. Quiet, sometimes smiling shyly, and listening to adults well.
Attacks and all that didn’t seem good for the child’s mental health, so I just explained it briefly.
“No, I helped.”
Was it too short?
I added as I saw Mini Me growling.
“There were other reasons, but No. 3’s help was crucial. “I was able to find you.”
“… … .”
“So, be nice to me. Understand? “My brother trusts Lee Rok.”
“… … .”
“And you said this is a school. I have other older brothers and sisters. “You can’t talk about the lab.”
“… … .”
Suddenly, Mini Me’s shoulders slumped.
f*ck, what are you really asking me to do?
After shaking my head, I sat down next to my mini-me on the bed. When I stretched out my hand to wrap around her shoulder, she helplessly pulled me in and hugged my waist.
“I know you’re crazy right now. I’m sorry my brother came so late. “I’m sorry for not being able to explain in more detail.”
“… … .”
“But there’s no way your brother would do something bad to Lee Rok. “Do you trust me?”
“… huh.”
“Isn’t that the lady I was with earlier?”
“huh.”
“That lady helped me a lot. So that Lee Rok can go to school in his name… “How was she doing when she was at daycare?”
“… “I just stayed at the orphanage.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“Aren’t you going to school or something like that?”
“Specifically? “There’s no way they would send me there.”
Minime said with confidence.
Unlike the research institute, which was completely cut off from the outside, the nursery is connected to the outside. In order to run the daycare center normally, wouldn’t there be a lot of volunteers and other outsiders coming and going? Above all, if a 10-year-old child stays at daycare instead of going to school, it is sure to arouse suspicion.
Let’s ask Mi-seon Lee to check how the orphanage is running.
“okay… . Anyway, that lady will help her go to school too. “It’s hard right now, but once her brother gets the situation sorted out, we can go.”
“… really?”
“Did you see your brother break his promise?”
“… … no.”
“Brother, make sure to keep the promise you made to Lee Rok.”
Before I knew it, I was patting the back of my mini-me, who was lying on my lap. I could see my eyes slowly closing. It’s okay to be tired. Did she tell Lee Mi-sun to call Kang Tae-woo for no reason? I guess I can say hello tomorrow morning.
Suddenly I looked up and saw shopping bags piled up on one side of the room. Children’s clothes.
… If you were a guardian, you would wash your child and change them into pajamas, right?
“Lee Rok. “I know you’re tired, but don’t sleep now. Let’s change clothes first.”
Worn jeans and a t-shirt with a stretched neck. Both were faded. If they were running a daycare center on the ark, I don’t think they would have taken proper care of it. Especially if you didn’t have to consider outside perspectives.
Mini Me stood up, rubbing her eyes. After searching through the shopping bags brought by Da-seon’s hunters, her pajamas and clean underwear were found. I looked at the room. Lee Mi-seon guided me to this place, so it wasn’t where I originally stayed.
A large room with a bathroom. I felt like they were considerate in one way or another.
“Come on, let’s go wash and change clothes. Would you like your brother to help you?”
“no! “I can do it!”
“really?”
Mini Me’s eyes widened as if she had lost all sleepiness and took the clothes from my hand.
“I’m all grown up now, right? “I can do everything without my brother!”
“Did you? Definitely in my memory… .”
… If I tease a child like this, it will come back to me. Ultimately, this is a story from my childhood.
I stopped talking due to sudden awareness. Meanwhile, Mini Me went into the bathroom.
I grabbed my head.
* * *
Knock knock.
“teacher. “It’s me.”
While Mini Me was washing up and I was organizing the contents of the shopping bag, Kang Tae-woo came.
“Oh, come in.”
“Well, number 12… “I heard you found your brother?”
“okay.”
Kang Tae-woo came into the room with a nervous face.
“Well, Chu, congratulations.”
“… thanks. “Anyway, since I know you, I called you to say hello first.”
“yes yes. “I heard it from this hunter.”
“I told my younger brother, so I can’t… “I won’t call you number 3.”
Kang Tae-woo opened his eyes round.
“Uh, go, thank you. But I don’t care. Even if you call me that.”
“are you okay?”
“Yes, well… . That’s also true. Uh, I have no intention of hiding anything. “If I hide it, my brother will have to hide it too.”
Kang Tae-woo was much more mature than I thought.
I nodded.
“But if it’s not what you’re saying, it’s better not to say it. “Wait a minute, he must have washed it all.”
Just as I was about to check the bathroom, Mini Me, with damp hair, walked out with fierce eyes.
“You have to dry your hair straight.”
It’s not even half a day yet, but it’s too much work. I took a new towel from the bathroom and covered my mini-me’s head.
Regardless of whether I did it or not, Mini Me glared straight at Kang Tae-woo. Kang Tae-woo smiled and waved his hand.
“hi. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
“… … .”
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
The attachment is also good.
This is a joke that even I can’t imitate now. She was purely amazed.
“Can you tell me your name now? “It’s not a research lab.”
“… … .”
“You can call my name too.”
Mini-me did not respond and continued to glare at Kang Tae-woo. Even if it was a child glaring at her, she would have been angry, but Kang Tae-woo just smiled innocently.
“My name is Kang Tae-woo.”
“… … .”
“you?”
“… … .”
Since number 3 is right in front of me, I don’t want to tell him his name. However, since it is not a research institute, I do not see any other basis that can overcome the logic of asking me to tell you the name. Why did I say that? He’ll just say he doesn’t want to tell me his name.
… I could clearly see what I was thinking.
What should I do? Shall I intervene? When you start being stubborn like that, I don’t think there are many times when you give up.
However, Kang Tae-woo was much stronger than I thought.
“If you don’t teach me, I’ll call you number 12.”
“… … .”
“I don’t mind if you call me number 3. Do you mind too? “Then that’s it.”
On rare occasions, I was speechless when I saw Kang Tae-woo. It was the same with Mini Me.
“I asked because I was afraid you might not like being called number 12… . “If you don’t mind.”
“… … rock.”
“what?”
Kang Tae-woo smiled brightly.
“… “It’s called Ui-rok.”
“Aha, Uirok? Hello, Lee Rok. Please take care of me in the future.”
… … Kang Tae-woo was much more mature than I thought.
