Invincible Teacher

Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 136

It was three days ago. After work Ha Gojun sighed as he looked at the three dongs of alcohol in the yard. It’s been a long time since Tang Euna’s liquor as a token of her sincerity had been finished. Even with Kang Hyuk’s orders, he couldn’t resist the urge to drink.

“Have you come?”

“Yes, I’m back.”

Just like other days, Ji Myung was drinking in the flat of the yard. Ha Gojun sighed again.

“Bhante, aren’t you drinking too much?”

“What ya said?”

“You are ruining yourself.”

“Mind yer own business, kid. Go on in.”

“Ugh...”

It’s always been this way. But he was glad he didn’t get beat up. He was once slapped on the face because Ji Myung thought he was being cocky. He got hit so many times when he was a Gladiator Ring Gladiator Slave, so he didn’t feel much, but that didn’t seem to be the case for his sister Ha Goyun. That day Ha Goyun cried until Ji Myung said he was sorry.

It would have been better if Ha Goyun just bent over and wailed, but Ha Goyun never made a sound and just shed tears. She cried as she ate, as she read books, and even when she swung a wooden sword made for training. Even Ha Gojun, who got hit, felt sorry.

That made Ji Myung feel terrible. No matter how old he was, Ji Myung was like an immature child, and couldn’t find how to deal with it. Only after Ji Myung apologized for hitting Ha Gojun and vow not to hit him again did Ha Goyun stop crying.

“Brother!”

Ha Goyun rushed out as if she heard Ha Gojun coming in.

“Yeah, I’m home. How have you been today?”

“I read today, learned how to cook and embroider from Marley. And I learned martial art from Bhante.”

“You’ve had a good time.”

“What about you? Wasn’t it hard?”

“Not at all.”

Ha Gojun was pleased with Ha Goyun’s smile. Her smile had the power to make people happy.

“Huh? Bhante, are you drinking again?”

Ha Goyun asked looking at Ji Myung, and Ji Myung nodded.

“Yeah, yeah. Bhante is drinking.”

“But Aerin said drinking too much is bad for your health.......”

At that moment Ha Goyun’s face grew sullen.

“You know, I like you Bante.”

“What?”

Ji Myung’s arm, which was holding a glass of wine at her sudden confession, stopped in the air.

“You know, you are only one I can trust now with my parents passed away so early.”

“....”

“You were a little weird at first, but now it’s fine. We’re family. Kang Hyuk Teacher said living together makes you a family. And it’s okay if there’s no blood.”

Ji Myung was dumbfounded, and kept listening to Ha Goyun.

“And since we’re family, I can understand all that. But suddenly, I became scared. What should I do if you die?”

“What if I die?”

“Yeah.”

Ha Goyun nodded.

“I was really sad when my father and mother died. That’s when I felt like the sky was falling apart. I must feel the sky is falling apart again if you die. You’re my family.”

“....”

Tears welled up in Ha Goyun’s eyes.

“So, don’t drink too much. I don’t want you to die early because of drinking.”

In that remark Ji Myung put a glass of wine on the table.

“Okay, OKAY!! I can’t die early! I won’t drink much from now on! Just one drink in three days!”

“Really?”

“Yes! I must live long and watch you marry! Of course!”

“Bhante! I love you!”

Ha Goyun ran into Ji Myung’s arms, and Ji Myung coughed in shame. And then, he really stopped drinking.

Kang Hyuk tilted his head at Ha Gojun’s words.

“But if it was three days ago, today is the fourth day. Shouldn’t he be having it today?”

Ha Gojun shook his head at the remark.

“But he says he won’t drink.”

Kang Hyuk thought it was really a big deal.

‘That Ji Myung quit drinking? Granddaughter is surely something.’

Even without blood, Ha Goyun was already Ji Myung’s granddaughter.

‘Maybe I should go to Chuisung Manor with Aerin today.’

Ha Goyun was walking on the streets of Middle Town, holding Chu Marley’s hand. It was because Ha Goyun wanted to go with her when Chu Marley came out to buy food. So they came out together with Ji Myung’s permission. Although the kidnapping a few days ago made her hate being on the streets, Ha Goyun was quick to forget bad things and she was a strong-willed child. She was scared to do it, but she took courage. She was able to muster up courage because she knew there were many people who protected her.

“Two chickens, please.”

“Yes! Here it is!”

Today’s dinner was chicken dish. Chu Marley bought two chickens to prepare.

“Let’s try stir-frying with vegetables that Teacher Kang gave us.”

“Good idea!”

Recently, Kang Hyuk tore the sprout from Yeonkyo Garden and distributed it generously to Chuishung Manor.

“And I’ll show you how to make tea tonight. Teacher Kang also gave me some tea leaves.”

“Okay!”

There was someone following Chu Marley and Ha Goyun as they were walking down the street with a friendly conversation.

“....”

Chu Marley was a master of skill. Chu Marley noticed the man right away who was following them without trying to hide. She snuck into the alley, and pulled a dagger from her pocket and aimed at mysterious someone following her.

“Who are you!”

The man who followed them became surprised and quickly raised his hands.

“Hnngh. Calm down, alright? I have no intention of hurting you!”

“Then why did you follow us?”

“I didn’t follow you, I followed that girl.”

His gaze turned to Ha Goyun hiding behind Chu Marley.

“Hnngh. She has a rare beauty.”

“Beauty?”

“She’s still young, but in five years or so... to think such world class beauty would be hiding in this alley! I’m really surprised.”

Chu Marley looked at him. A long, dark hair and white skin that naturally flows down with only half tied slightly. And not a speck of dust was attached to the jade-colored garment and the white-colored long cloth to match it. Even the black leather shoes were clean. She didn’t know what flower it was, but the hand holding a flower with a good fragrance seemed to show that it was an example of elegance. Now that she sees it, he was a quite a beautiful man.......

“A man?”
