-Moksim January Issue: New Years Sister-in-Laws Warm Floor Tofu Edition.
-Brother-in-law, were one lon short today. Stories of trees entangled in unspeakable circumstances. Lets delve into their profound stories that erge.
Dendrophilia.
A kind of ntal illness that one would never expect to encounter in a lifeti was considered a very normal and relatively healthy hobby here.
Its so naturally accepted that even a middle school girl running around with an adult magazine was not seen as a problem.
Thank you~ Big brother! I really wanted this!
Hwangdo hugged the magazines tightly to her chest and giggled happily.
The half-distracted gaze she had while looking at the magazines was quite striking.
That such magazines are sold to minors.
The future of this country seed bleak.
Where was this magazine company that churned out such content? Reading each precious line makes desperately wish for a brainwash.
-Hurry and unclog my water pipe.
-The tofu sellers anus is soft and mushy.
Was this the feeling of those who encountered the abyss and went mad?
I couldnt even laugh anymore.
Just looking at the cover made feel like I was losing my mind, but our representative consur, little Hwangdo, was still staring intently at the cover of Moksim, as if each sentence perfectly suited her taste.
Im so happy
Well, as long as she was happy. No matter how strange it was, its a preference.
Seeing Hwangdos genuinely happy face, I felt like I was sharing a bit of that vitality.
Im really happy about it, but nothings going to happen tomorrow, right? The gods might get angry.
Dont worry unnecessarily, lets just buy a gift for Baekdo.
Ah, right, I forgot.
Hwangdo quickly clung back to my side with a realization.
Sneaking her arm around mine was a familiar act.
But arent you and Baekdo not on good terms?
Its not that were on good terms. Ever since I beca Young Demon, shes been picking fights with .
Do you dislike Baekdo?
No? I actually like her.
I imdiately refuted Hwangdos suspicion.
No matter how much Baekdo and I couldnt stand each other, that was in the present ti.
This Baekdo was young, and here, we had no real reason to fight.
I do want to get along. But sothing always seems off.
Mmm
Hwangdo murmured in response to my words, making a pained sound.
Even if not for you, Baekdo dislikes you.
Thats true.
As long as youre the successor of my father, hell probably dislike you for life. Baekdo wants Cheondo to succeed my father.
I know. She told last ti.
From Dowons perspective, Im just a stone that rolled in.
A boulder that brought a huge storm. Because of this, Hongyeon was wary of .
Because of , Cheondo might not beco Cheonma.
So, I even assured Baekdo that I had no intention of becoming Cheonma. It seems that wasnt enough.
There were various political issues with becoming Cheonma, but Baekdos personal feelings probably took precedence.
What do you think about Cheondo?
Cheondo?
Hwangdo asked with a very serious face.
Hmm. Cheondo, huh?
I could say it clearly.
Shes very affectionate but doesnt show it. She secretly takes care of people around her and thinks a lot but doesnt show it, so shes considered cold by others.
Having fought Ents together and risked our lives in dungeons, I knew her well.
She often suffers because of her nature, but she doesnt mind. Its rare but happens.
Hwangdo, who was listening to all this by my side, seed quite surprised.
You seem to have a good eye for people. What about ?
Pervert.
Im not a pervert.
After coughing a few tis, Hwangdo, with her cheeks flushed red, returned to the original topic.
Cough. Anyway, its similar But Cheondo isnt as strong as big brother says. Shes incredibly delicate. Really~ incredibly.
Hwangdo spread her arms wide, forming a circle, implying Cheondos delicate nature.
I had thought that the young Cheondo from this era seed to express his emotions quite a bit.
Hwangdo put her index finger to her lips, signaling to keep it a secret, and shushed softly.
In fact, Cheondo is the biggest crybaby among us.
Crybaby?
When she was seven, she would cry at the slightest things, like falling leaves. Seeing a rabbit frozen to death in winter, her eyes would always turn red.
I see.
She sacrificed a lot for us. Always giving up food She always took on tasks, helped with household chores. Everything.
A person who was delicate yet had a brave side.
It seems her inherently kind nature has always been the sa.
As Hwangdo continued, her eyes moistened, perhaps recalling those old tis.
In truth, Cheondo taking over after father was sothing she ended up shouldering. Baekdo and I hated training. Dad was so strict and scary during training Hes always scary now.
Becoming Cheonma wasnt Cheondos grand ambition, it seed.
But being the diligent Cheondo, she must have put in hard work.
After entering training, Cheondo started living separately from us. her na disappeared, and no one knew of Cheondo anymore. And Cheondo, her personality changed a lot.
After becoming Young Demon, she stopped crying. Her emotional expressions almost vanished.
Even towards her and Baekdo, she beca quite stiff, Hwangdo said with a gloomy face.
The training must have been really tough?
Undoubtedly, the training was unbearable.
Thinking Cheondo underwent the sa training as , it must have been horrific for a child.
As I nodded, Hwangdo sighed more deeply, looking even sadder.
So Baekdo is also bothered by it. That Cheondo suffered a lot instead of us. Because its true.
So I dont look good to her?
Right.
Its understandable for soone to be upset if they thought I was trying to take away Cheondos hard-earned position.
I wonder what Cheondo herself thinks.
She said it didnt bother her.
Hwangdo looked straight at , then smirked bitterly.
So, honestly, I feel a bit the sa.
Really?
Yes.
I appreciated the honesty.
Do you also dislike the idea of becoming Cheonma?
I dislike it. But I like it.
Huh?
If you beco Cheonma, Cheondo wont have to live like shes in prison anymore. Thats good, but I hate that her efforts would go to waste. Weird, right?
Hwangdo appeared to be struggling with inner conflict.
Her droopy appearance was sowhat adorable, like a puppy.
Because of this you wouldnt believe how much Baekdo and I argued. But theres one thing Im sure of.
Whats that?
As soon as my question ended,
Hwangdo briefly set aside the gift envelope, stretched her short arms to wrap around mine, and then rubbed her cheek against my arm, looking up at with a bright smile.
You dont seem like a bad person.
Her face was like sunshine. Maybe because the day was a bit cold, I felt a warm comfort at my side.
I might not see Cheondo often. But you can see her often, right?
Thats true.
Then please be good to her. Shes a sister who cant take care of herself because shes foolish.
Well, thats obvious.
I had no plans of taking over as Cheonma, but perhaps there was no need to say that. Grateful for Hwangdos frankness, I tapped her head gently.
Thanks. For telling sothing I didnt know.
Hehe. I can even show you my treasure, the first edition of Moksim, to you.
Why would you even have that?
Big sister gave it as a birthday gift Ah. Did I not ntion my big sister? The first edition of Moksim ca out in nineteen fifty~
As Hwangdo proudly recounted the history of Moksim, I played along and bought a few gifts for Baekdo to put in Hwangdos hands.
After visiting a few places she wanted to go, like the video room, ti flew by, and it was soon ti to head back.
I dont want to go, huh.
When I dropped Hwangdo off in front of her house, she didnt want to leave my embrace until the very end. It felt like watching a puppy that follows you out in the morning when you leave for work.
Lets go out together again soti.
Really?
Her face imdiately lit up at my words, blooming like a flower.
Sure, its a promise.
Then, suddenly, Hwangdo stretched out her pinky finger. I was puzzled at first but then rembered a past event and hooked my finger with hers.
I could easily recall a song we had once sung together.
Promise, promise. No going back on your word, okay?
Alright, I get it. Go inside now.
Wow! Have a good evening, big brother!
Hwangdo, cheering joyously, went inside the house. She turned several tis to wave vigorously at as she went. I mimicked her cheerful gestures and watched her until she disappeared.
-Thud!
The sliding door closed, hiding Hwangdo from view.
-Rattle.
But then the door opened slightly, and a face peeked out.
Thank you!
The door closed again. This was repeated about five tis before Hwangdo no longer appeared. Seeing a brighter and more lively side of Hwangdo than I knew made unable to hold back my laughter.
Standing alone, I put my trembling hands in my pockets and stood in front of Hwangdos house for a while before I started my journey back.
Sister!
Awakened by Hwangdos echoing voice, Jin Saeyang was startled and sat up.
What, what? Whats the matter?
I got this!
Hwangdo, excited, spread out the magazines she brought back, filling Saeyang with astonishnt.
How did you get these without even going outside?
Big brother bought them for .
Big brother?
Yes, such a person exists!
What kind of crazy man bought Moksim for such a pretty kid? Even buying gold rings to impress her would be insufficient. Saeyangs mind couldnt fully grasp the story coming from Hwangdos mouth.
So, he gifted you these? Uh isnt that just completely perverted?
Why?
Why? Its obviously weird.
Hwangdo tapped her lips with her index finger, pretending to think hard, then shook her head with a bright smile.
Big brother isnt a bad person.
Oh, really?
Bad people are those my sister ets on her phone
Shut your mouth.
Facts hit hard. Saeyang made a motion of wiping tears and sighed.
Anyway, be careful choosing n. Like your sister you know? It can lead to big trouble.
Big brother said the sa thing.
Yeah. People like that big brother are the most dangerous.
It didnt seem that way to .
Hwangdo continued to deny.
Saeyang looked at her, tilting her eyebrows. Regardless of who Hwangdo had her mind set on, perhaps it was only right to offer so advice. Saeyang gave her sincere counsel.
If that man isnt strange, Ill slit my wrists.
Hwangdo, with her eyes wide, started to speak about that person.
Its Master Young Demon, though?
Huh?
That man, famous for being handso and competent, was the subject of rumors.
Saeyang imdiately closed her mouth, fearing that speaking ill might lead to being stripped and beaten for blasphemy.
