You and Jaeui, you originally knew that one of you was my child, right?"
Before those sudden words, even though they were unexpected words, Taeui never thought he would say them in a context like this. Jeong Taeui looked at him and sighed.
"Ah, not one of us, but both of us are my sons. Genetically. I know. But what about that?"
This is not a big secret. When he was young, he heard it directly from his father. He didn't know if Dad thought about the fact that the two of them were old enough to understand those words or not, but Dad let the two of them sit down and slowly talk. Dad's physical condition did not allow him to have children, so he asked for help from his uncle and got two brothers.
Nothing changed after that day. Dad is still my dad, uncle is still my uncle. However, at that time my father also warned the two brothers, "So, if one day your uncle says something strange, it is also true, please listen to him."
Not necessarily because of his father's words, but the two brothers listened to their uncle very much. Except for occasionally bringing trouble, uncle is still a kind and cheerful uncle. But my father is in heaven. Uncle said something strange not once or twice.
"No, not both, just one. Before you two were born, because your Dad knew you were twins, he said he would give me one of them. So at first, as soon as you two were born, they were supposed to be separated from each other and live like cousins... But as soon as you two were born, both were so attached to each other that I gave up separating both, so that you guys were able to escape the situation of separation"
Dad, look. Isn't he still saying strange things now? When Jeong Taeui looked at his uncle blankly, his uncle immediately emphasized further.
"What I said was true."
Even though he still looked suspicious, he was not someone who would lie. Furthermore, for some reason he had a feeling... What was it? Did Dad not want to tell his two children directly that he had offered to give one of them to his younger brother? That's right, that strange word must be this word. Thinking back, at that time Dad was silent for a while and then quietly added "When the time comes, treat your uncle like a father and listen to him.".
When is when? Was it when the uncle asked?
Jeong Taeui doesn't know. However, if that was what Dad had told him, he had no intention of raising his voice against it. Even though his brother wasn't here, he would probably come to the same conclusion as Jeong Taeui. Jeong Taeui's personality is that he can quickly let go and adapt to a certain environment. In other words, adapt quickly to everything.
"Yes. Uncle... My brother is gone. When he gets home, I'll tell you to call me, okay?"
When he heard what Jeong Taeui said, he burst out laughing. His smiling face was exactly like Taeui's brother. Well, if these two people stood next to each other, people would definitely think they were father and son, and even their personalities were somewhat similar.
Anyway, this time when his brother returns, he will probably be very surprised because his father suddenly changed. No, maybe he wasn't even surprised. Jeong Taeui didn't remember ever seeing his brother surprised by something - or at least showing his surprise outwardly.
"I don't have time to look for that kid in some unknown direction. Let's go, Jeong Taeui. From today, you are my son. I'll prepare my luggage. That place will provide all the basics so you only need to bring what is necessary."
Changin rubbed Taeui's chin and spoke comfortably. The voice was filled with laughter. The only person not happy here is Jeong Taeui. Such strange sounds are not interesting at all.
"Me?"
