“Actually who said such a thing that you believed so much?” muttered San Hyuk while staring intently at Han Byeol.
“Pak Leo..”.
Suddenly the room was quiet.
Everyone looked at each other with their own thoughts. Their minds were divided into two camps, between believing or not in the words of Han Byeol. The child also had no reason to lie much less until the situation was this silent.
“Actually what's the matter?” Han Byeol who saw that couldn't help but ask. There was a strange atmosphere that now filled the room of the inn.
“Better you go home first, it's night, you have to go to school tomorrow.” San Hyuk directly does not want to discuss this matter further with Han Byeol. He is not old enough to be involved in this matter, “Leya, take Han Byeol home with you.”
“Good..” Aleya knows very well what San Hyuk means, “So can't go back to the hotel by yourself right?” aleya asked Jagad.
“I'll accompany Robin here,” Jagad also agree with San Hyuk's opinion. Although this problem gives him a headache, it should not be discussed today. At least one of them had to do some sorting first to find out why Leo's name suddenly appeared here.
“Isn't this outrageous?” unlike Aleya who had already stood up while tidying up her things, Han Byeol did not budge from where she was sitting. The boy's eyes focused on scanning the floor line below.
“I've been beaten like this too have to bear the curiosity of what really happened?” slowly Han Byeol raised his head and circulated the gaze to the whole person, “do I not deserve to know?”
“Han Byeol-a?” Aleya again sat down beside her son while gently rubbing his back, “Mom understand that you want to know, the problem..”.
“Because you were a child?” han Byeol toilet. Suddenly he felt anger in his heart. It was natural considering these few weeks he had to feel a drastic change of the routine and attitude of the people around him.
“I want to be a good boy and not ask anything, but my chest is so crowded by all those questions. Didn't Mom imagine how hard it was to see Mom suddenly fall ill, Appa who suddenly gave me a bodyguard, not to mention that night when someone messed up the apartment, continues today...” Han Byeol's breath stinged as it spilled its grievance in one breath, “without knowing what was going on, suddenly I had to experience all this.”
“Byeol-a, can't we talk about this issue tomorrow?” persuade Aleya.
“This curious feeling seems to kill me, actually what's with everyone?” han Byeol's tears dripping represented the curiosity and anger he had been yearning for. He is not comfortable with this situation even more so there are other people who must be hurt by it.
“Then, is it true that this Uncle is my uncle?” han Byeol asked as he looked towards Jagad.
“What does your question mean?” this time it was San Hyuk who spoke up.
“Shin Han Byeol!” it was only the first time Aleya raised her voice. He stared hard at his son. Even San Hyuk himself was shocked to hear Aleya's voice.
“Why? Is that true?” instead of being afraid, Han Byeol was increasingly urging his parents.
“I am not your father,” Jagad who only noticed the debate of the three people initially did not want to interfere, but after seeing Han Byeol's attitude he could guess the purpose of the child's question.
“Actually what makes you so angry? What answer do you want young man?” The jagad stared at Han Byeol sharply.
“If you want to know what really happened, we also want to know more than you. That's why we're all here. If you want to know if I'm your father, then I'll answer. You're not my son,” Jagad stood up from his seat and walked over to Han Byeol.
“Kak Jagad..” compact Aleya and San Hyuk block Jagad from approaching Han Byeol.
“Why? He's grown up, he has to know so he can behave properly! Already knew his parents put a bodyguard with him to keep him safe. Uh but he just slipped away and caused this mess. You don't see if that person is dying because of your selfish actions?” firm the Jagad while pointing towards Robin's bed.
Jagad's words made Han Byeol speechless to realize his mistake. What the man said was nothing wrong until he could no longer dodge. All this because of his curiosity until he ignored San Hyuk's orders.
“Now look around you young man. You've hurt your uncle's friend and now you want to hurt your father by doubting who your father really is? Do you realize that now you are not only spreading the wound in your mother's heart but also incising the wound in the heart of the father who raised you?” the criticism of the Jagad does not stop there.
“Kakak enough..” Aleya stood right in front of Jagad. Although all of his words were true, Han Byeol was still a child to be able to understand all of them.
“You don't treat him as a child continuously. You don't see he's bigger than you?” cut the Corn, “now mumpung all this in the discussion, what do you want to know?”
Han Byeol actually died when it was woven like that by Jagad. His head shrieked as soon as he saw San Hyuk who was avoiding the look in his eyes. True, the person who raised him once said to continue to trust his mother until Aleya herself who tells about the origin of her. But now he just recited his own promise just because of the momentary selfishness he felt.
“See, you don't want to hurt your parents a second time right?” insist Jagad.
“Kakak...” this time San Hyuk is trying to stop Jagad. He understood that Jagad only wanted to help them. This is very surprising considering that the two brothers still hold grudges and traumas. He did not know what they had talked about this afternoon until the two were seen to have made a truce with each other. No more threatening gazes came out from their eyes. But San Hyuk felt that suppressing Han Byeol like this was also not the right action.
“You should understand what I mean, right? I just want to know. Not necessarily intending to hurt Appa. Is it wrong if I ask about my origin?”
