Chapter 118

                                    

                                          
Woojoo felt his body stiffen as if he had locked eyes with Medusa.
"..."
Mrs. Kim Deoksoon was standing with her smartphone in her hand, and the families of Bijoo, Junghyun, Jiho, and Rihyuk's brother were there.
They all had faces that wondered how to react.
This was so embarrassing.
Woojoo didn't know whether to act like nothing happened or to laugh.
Then Bijoo came into the practice room with a light step and a sense of humor.
Jiho and Junghyun followed suit.
Bijoo said to the families who were laughing at Rihyuk dancing a dance of unknown nationality, "You must be surprised. We play like this every day."
The awkward atmosphere quickly turned into a friendly one.
When Woojoo mouthed a thank you to Bijoo, he gave him a light smile. Rihyuk, who had turned red, whispered to Woojoo, "You owe me one."
"I'll buy you a good vacuum cleaner."
Woojoo decided as he watched him leave with a chic expression.
Woojoo should buy him the Hello Kitty vacuum cleaner he saw on the internet.
"Mom! Dad!"
"Sister!"
Meanwhile, family reunions were taking place in the practice room.
Woojoo also ran up to Mrs. Kim Deoksoon and hugged her tightly.
"Grandma!"
"Oh my, I can't breathe. How long have you been away that you're making such a fuss?"
"Ah, I missed you so much, Grandma."
"Baloney. If you missed me, you would have contacted me. Lately, you've been..."
She went on and on, but Woojoo didn't care.
Woojoo curled up and hugged her tightly, feeling warm and fuzzy.
A warm energy flowed through his body.
He felt his tear ducts moisten without realizing it.
Woojoo hadn't gone through any big hardships, but it felt like the emotional barriers he had built up melted away with one hug.
"Grandma, I missed you so much."
"Did you?"
"Yes, I'm so happy. Grandma smells good and is warm."
"Oh, I forgot about this. I was going to take this off and throw it away, but I forgot because of that weird dance."
"..."
Woojoo blinked as he watched her slip her hand under her clothes and peel off a hot pack from her stomach, then he quickly covered her with his body so no one else could see.
"Why are you wearing a hot pack?"
"Last time I saw, Seoul people have no middle ground between cold and hot. On the way here, the bus was blasting cold air, and if it weren't for this, my stomach would have frozen solid."
She asked Woojoo if he wanted one, but he declined.
Woojoo hugged her again, finding her chirping adorable.
"Are you mad at me for hugging you?"
"Yes, I'm very mad. I've been waiting for months to hug you, Grandma."
