Returner’s Magic Laundry

She pushed my chest away in the surprise that followed, but I hugged her even tighter.

Then she relaxed her body and closed her eyes.

I felt a gentle winter hand wrapped around my back.

Her first kiss with her was very different from her previous life.

In our previous lives, we came out of the food stall and walked down the street, and without anyone else, we kissed like magnets.

They wanted each other like hungry people.

The snow didn't pile up like this back then, so the main character didn't slip like the cliché that was repeated countless times in the drama.

At that moment, buds start to sprout in the snow field, and the surrounding area turns into a green forest as if it were spring in an instant.

The cold that was on my skin disappeared, a warm wind blew, and cherry blossom petals began to blow.

The magical forest is the beginning again.

Her kiss went on for a long time, and I thought I should just love her like this.

I didn't want to think about the far side of the moon.

Even though we broke up, I thought that we should remember only the moment we loved each other.

At that moment, someone's face flashed across her head, and I quickly pulled my mouth off her lips.

Her hand that had hugged her moved away as well.

As she slowly opened her eyes, the surroundings that had turned into a forest disappeared in an instant.

Midwinter just thought her kiss was over, she didn't seem to feel anything special.

“I was kissing, and it felt strange. The wind is getting warmer and it feels like spring has arrived... … I wonder if this is what the bell rings for the first kiss or something?”

“… … .”

When she didn't say anything, she stared at her with her strange eyes.

“Are you going to regret it now?”

"Sorry. Us… … See you later.”

She slowly backed away from her and hurriedly left her place.

In the middle of winter my body hardened by my strange behavior.

She turned her body and cut her persistent gaze.

It was good to see what kind of expression midwinter would look like that was moving away from my back, but I had no choice but to close her eyes and leave.

As usual, we were dating from today.

But I couldn't help it.

Having to leave her behind her and leave her, I was also suffering her pain.

I ran for a while, went into an empty corner of the park and sat down on a bench in the dark.

I wiped my face with my palm.

‘I can’t see her again in the middle of winter.’

But her fate is pulling her with me and her so intensely.

The face that flashed through her head the moment she kissed her.

It was the face of my wife and daughter in a previous life.

My wife and I met in the middle of winter after a few years.

Of course, he also married her wife, but the love did not last long.

Some failed to take care of the family properly, and there were financial problems if the film continued to fail.

In the end, I thought it was all my fault.

We eventually got divorced, and until my death I couldn't even see my wife and daughter's faces properly.

If I meet Midwinter now and get married, I won't be able to find a wife, and my daughter Sua won't be born in this world either.

'My daughter Pyosu-ah... … .'

When Sua was born and she was held in my arms for the first time, she will never forget the emotion of that time.

After that day, I spent more time sitting idly and looking out the window.

I have no appetite, and I haven't had much food in my mouth for several days.

“Sir, I think I need something to drink.”

“… … Huh? What?"

Gangnam-young looked at me and spoke to me.

I put the iron next to me, stood up, pushed my back, and put it in front of the mirror.

“Look at your face. Now, the bones have been damaged. From a distance, it looks like a skullcap is sitting on it. Please take some of my flesh.”

Gangnam-young is pulling his belly fat and complaining.

"Oh sorry. I have no appetite these days.”

“What's going on? Do you look like a girl?”

I flinched at the word "woman".

“Hey, you’re a woman! It’s not like that.”

“If a man is so skinny like this, is there anything other than a woman’s problem?”

“Namyoung, don’t you have any concerns other than women’s problems?”

“I think the boss is also a mother-in-law. It looked like he was going to die of old age as an old bachelor.”

Then, a loud noise was heard outside, and Yongcheon and Yongcheon's father, and Kim Jinah and Kim Jinah's mother entered.

“Brother, we are here.”

Yongcheon jumped up and hugged me tightly.

“Uh, are you here? are you here Jin-ah is here too.”

Jin-a Kim looks at me and her eyes round and push her face in.

“Oh, uncle. Why is her face like this? Her jawline has become sharper. hey! Why are her arms so thin? Where are you sick?”

“I don’t know why the bachelor’s face is like this. He was always smiling.”

Kim Jin-ah looked forcing a smile at her mother's words, but within a few days she smiled and the muscles around her mouth trembled.

“Didn’t Namyoung take away everything that Annam Bachelor would eat?”

“Oh, no. Because the boss doesn't eat anything these days. look at that I ate a spoonful of the rice I made earlier and served it as is.”

Gangnam-young pointed to the bowl outside.

Then everyone looked at me with worried expressions on my face.

“Oh, hey. Time to go delivery. Then go play.”

Leaving the place, she hurriedly came out.

I wanted to be alone.

“Annam-kun, you should take this!”

Looking back at the sound of Yongcheon's father calling, he was pulling out a cart full of laundry.

“No, you’re going to deliver something without clothes.”

“Ah, I’m a little out of my mind… … .”

I picked up the cart handle.

“I came here to give you this.”

Yongcheon's father took a white envelope out of his bag.

“Uh, this is… … .”

“It’s a wedding invitation. we want to get married I want Yongchun to have a family too. I like Jin-ah too.”

In a moment, I burst into tears.

Fortunately, I thought I was lucky.

If Yong-cheon's father is still alive, Yong-cheon has a new family, and Kim Jin-ah studies, goes to a good school, and lives happily ever after, then nothing like murder will happen.

“No, why are you crying? Aren't you happy? I came here because Yongchun said that he would be the first to bring it to you.”

“I am so happy.”

Yongcheon's father wiped away the flowing tears.

“I think of you as part of our family. If you ever have a hard time, please let me know. I don't have much ability, but... … .”

“Having a happy family is the greatest ability.”

I couldn't.

“If only he could go back to his youth.”

“Young days?”

“Yes, there is such a thing as reincarnation.”

"Ah… … .”

“Then will you marry Yongcheon’s mother again, that is, her original wife?”

Then, as if paying attention, she turned her head to look at Jinah Kim's mother.

“No, in this situation, such a question… … .”

“Oh, is that so? Sorry. I am nothing.”

“I will marry my wife again. Marry her wife the same day, kiss the same day, go to bed the same day, at the same time. Then Yongcheon will be born.”

Yongcheon's father said with his face blushing.

“I have no meaning without Yongcheon. I wish my wife was still alive... … What if not?”

“Yeah, I asked a silly question. Congratulations on your marriage.”

I waved to the three people who were looking at me.

Then the three of them wave their hands with happy faces.

“Of course you should go to the wedding.”

“Thank you. Because you see Yongchun often, Yongchun has become very bright.”

"What. Yongchun has given me a lot more. Then I will deliver.”

A few days later, evening.

I attended the closing ceremony of the Korean Independent Film Festival.

It seems that Ko Gun-soo had been asked by the film festival to attend the closing ceremony.

Usually this is the case.

‘Your son is doing well.’

If not, I was planning to attend the closing ceremony.

To be honest, I wasn't really interested in the closing ceremony, and I was thinking of meeting again in the middle of winter.

I knew her phone number, but I didn't want to call her because it was a memory of her past life, not what she gave me.

Kim Sang-il and Kwak Ki-hyeok did not come, and writer Choi No-eul came instead.

“You said you were coming to the screening, so why didn’t you come?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. At that time, I was not in the mood to write. Something just came to my mind, but if I cut it off because I’m going to the opening ceremony, I can’t use it forever.”

“Are you writing a different screenplay?”

"Yeah."

“Is the genre a thriller?”

“Uh, how did you know?”

how do you know

I knew what screenplay he was going to write later.

Most of them succeed, but some fail.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Did I say something wrong?

Writer Noeul Choi pushed Go Gunsoo away and sat next to me and started telling the story of her scenario.

I nodded my head formally, looking for midwinter.

‘It’s the closing ceremony, didn’t you come today?’

The closing ceremony was held, and the judges came out one by one and called out the winners.

As Ko Geon-soo's name didn't come out over and over again, we thought of something.

“Are you really getting an award? Could it be that I just got excited?”

“Please. Gunsu-ya, did you say that you must come?”

“I did. When I asked if I could go, I said that I had to come.”

“Then what is the target?”

“I hope.”

Writer Choi No-eul made a nonsensical expression.

The prize had one object left.

The judges who are going to win the grand prize go to the stage and read the reviews first, but the atmosphere is not serious.

Then, the judges start calling the winners.

“The grand prize winner of this year’s Korea Independent Film Festival is director Ko Kun-soo’s ‘Secret House’. Do you want to come in front of the director?”

Go Kun-soo was so surprised and embarrassed, he had a blank face without even thinking of leaving.

"Great! Director, get out of here quickly!”

When writer Choi No-eul patted him on the shoulder, Go Gun-soo comes to his senses.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

"uh? Ah yes."

“Why are you here? After winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival.”

Go Gun-soo hurriedly leaves.

Trophies, bouquets of flowers, and a grand prize of 7 million won were awarded.

“Wow, the prize is 700! I really hope.”

“Writer, I think I need to leave for a moment.”

"Where are you going? At this crucial moment.”

“The bathroom is a bit urgent.”

Ko Gun-soo's acceptance speech began, but he couldn't wait any longer.

He could not be seen all the time in the middle of winter, so he was not relieved.

I went out and looked for the staff, but I couldn't find it.

When I asked the staff, they said that I couldn't come out because I wasn't feeling well today.

‘Did you get hurt that day? Are you sick of me?’

Worried.

I went out and called the cell phone number I remembered.

Midwinter changed my phone number a few times while we were dating, but I remembered them all.

Terrying~

After a few beeps, the phone picks up.

-Hello?

“… … .”

When I answer the phone, I am speechless again.

-Hello?

“… … Fold it, Ahn Nam.”

“… … .”

“You didn’t come to the closing ceremony today, so I called because I was worried.”

“How did you get my phone number?”

“I had a story to tell, so I asked the staff. Can we meet for a moment?”

“If we meet today, I might stick to Annam and not fall.”

“… … .”

“Once I get stuck, I never fall. So you have to think carefully.”

“… … .”

“No words. Then there is a bar I often go to, and I'll meet you there."

I knew where she was going.

[Lion and Fish]

It was a regular bar that we used as a hideout.

“Where?”

“Lion and fish.”
