Tired Of Living As An Omega - Chapter 31
“What? Did someone just call my name?”
The inside of my ear was itchy. At first glance, it seemed like someone called my name very urgently, but I thought it was auditory hallucination because I was listening to music with my AirPods on.
“What’s the matter, young man?”
“Oh, its nothing. I must have heard something wrong.”
Today was the day, General would be discharged from the hospital. It was very lovely and cute to see the little creature in my arms wriggling, licking my hands and arms.
“Woof.”
“Oh, yes. General. You’ve had a hard time getting treatment in the hospital.”
My baby. I’m so proud of you.
I gave General infinite praise, stroking the soft hair that was wrapped in his hand.
General recovered miraculously quickly. He ate well, didn’t refuse medicine, and above all, he followed me very well.
“I hope you are going to like my house.”
When I lifted general and rubbed his face against my cheek, general barked. I was relieved that it wasn’t a hateful T. [1]
“The kennel and the yard where you can run to play have been arranged beautifully. I didn’t know what you wanted to eat, so I prepared different kinds. I’m going to take you on a lot of walks.”
“Woof woof!”
It was nice to hear general answer. I was so happy to be part of this guy’s family.
“I’ll be good to you. Let’s get along well.”
“Ruff!”
The warmth of the little creature embraced was warm. I was happy that my life would become more colorful in the future.
‘But didn’t I feel something sharp earlier…?’
Was it just me? I tilted my head, rubbing the goosebumps on my body.
I felt uncomfortable as if someone had called me, but I thought it was an illusion.
‘There’s someone in this country who’ll find me.’
I came to the countryside after breaking all my relationships as the villain, Seong Chan-young. No one could have found me because I was an annoying character.
‘Missing my family, I had so many thoughts.’
There was no one here to look for me. There wasn’t anything that was really mine here.
‘It’s because of Seong Chan-yeong’s money that I can now do the farming I wanted to do, not mine.’
When I thought about it, I felt depressed, like a low tide. To me, the world in this novel seems fake, but the thought that I would be more fake in this world made it hard for me.
‘I wonder what my family was doing.’
I wondered. I didn’t even have an accident; I was just sleeping at home as usual, but the world has changed. [2]
‘I wish I could go back…….’
It was a moment to think so.
“Woof! Woof woof!”
“Ah, General.”
General, who was quietly in my arms, licked my hand. It wasn’t enough either, so I tried to climb over my body.
“What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Are you feeling any pain?”
“Woof woof!”
Is he acting cute to ask for a hug?
When I carefully hugged general’s strong body, he licked my face. In an instant my face was stained with saliva.
“Oh, oh, it tickles.”
“Woof!”
“General, I’m not a snack. Do you want a snack?”
“Wow!”
I’m not an animal communicator, so I don’t know, but a subtly different cry from when I’m in a good mood seemed to say, ‘That’s not it!’
There is no way that animals can understand people, but I asked the general with the intention of secretly fulfilling my own interests.
“General, are you trying to comfort me because I look depressed?”
“Woof!”
This time he seemed to say ‘Yes!’ The fluffy white tail also fluttered hard on both sides. That was cute.
‘Is this what they call animal therapy?’
Is this why my mom and dad lived with the dogs on their sides all day, saying, “Oh, my cute baby, my lucky dog?” This is what they meant when they said one dog was better than the seven real people next to you!
When I remembered the gongs that were worse than dogs, I thought they were right!
“Yuck. Yes, General. You’re better than a person. Better than a man.”
“Woof?”
The only thing to trust in this world was Seong Chan-young’s generous money and his general, who was a reliable dog. Oh, of course, Secretary Choi, who works well, and kind employees were also worthy of my trust.
“Let’s live with me forever and in good health, General!”
“Woof!”
“We have arrived at your house, young master.”
“Oh, my.”
I completely forgot the existence of Mr. Kim, who was driving next to me. I felt my ears flush.
‘Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.’
The embarrassment grew even more as Mr. Kim looked at me with a benevolent gaze of benevolent Bodhisattva. It’s like… He seemed to be looking at the cuteness of his grandson, who had just begun to act cute.
“Um, ahjussi. This is just because general is so cute.”
“Of course, I know.”
I was the only one who felt embarrassed because he accepted it so easily. I don’t know what Secretary Choi told his employees, but I was embarrassed because he seemed to like me very much.
‘If I were real Seong Chan-young, I would never have gotten this warmth.’
The thoughts also led to what’s real and what’s fake. It’s not fake. It’s real. I don’t know where the real Seong Chan-young went.
Did he really die in a suicide attempt? If not, where is he? I’m curious, but I’ll never know until the real Seong Chan-young shows up.
“Let’s get off, General. This is our home now.”
“Woof!”
Leaving an unanswered question behind, I took the general out of the truck. I was glad to see my comfortable nest in the familiar countryside now.
“Come on. This is general’s house from now on.”
“Woof woof! Woof woof!”
The general happily stirred the house inside and outside with short, plump legs. It was fortunate that they seemed to like both.
‘I’m glad I prepared both inside and outside.’
It is common for dogs in rural areas to live in dog houses outside, but I made it ready for an indoor dog to live just in case. I have a lot of money, so it was no problem to order goods because I was going to fit the general as much as possible.
“Wowwwwww!”
General, who had been wandering around a room in the house that had been completely emptied and decorated for him, and a dog house next to the yard that was decorated lightly outside, lay down with his stomach exposed after much consideration. It was gratifying to look so satisfied.
“Do you like it there?”
“Woof!”
“Really? Then let’s live there from now.”
As soon as I entered the house and tried to close the door, general chased me like lightning and bit my trousers.
“Whines, whines, whines.”
“Uh……. You don’t want to be alone?”
“Whines.”
He looked at me so mournfully with eyes that resembled puss in boots. If I left it, I felt like I would be so guilty that I couldn’t stay still.
“Then let’s take turns indoors and outdoors.”
“Woof woof!”
‘Maybe he’s more anxious because of the memories of being taken away by a dog vendor.’
I still remember the image of general who fell from the truck that the dog vendor was driving. That’s probably the reason he followed me even though I haven’t done anything big.
I stroked the soft white fur of general and said.
“It’s all right, General. No one hurts you now.”
It’s safe here.
It was like saying to myself. It was like me trying to find happiness here, where there were no scary gongs, Seo Eun-soo, the main shou of the original work, and people under Seong Eun Group.
‘I feel like I’m going to cry all of a sudden.’
I felt the silence in the spacious house where Mr. Kim also stepped down. This house, which has only me and the general, will probably be left alone for the rest of my life unless I return to the world where I was.
It was so lonely and sad that I shed tears. a little at a time.
I heard a rustle outside when I cried.
“Are the street cats here?”
I didn’t think much of it. They often come in front of my house to be fed around this time of year.
Normally, I would wake up quickly and open a can to feed, but I didn’t have energy today.
“Whines, whines.”
General circled around and whined as if he felt my anxiety. I was angry at myself for not being reliable as a guardian.
“You can’t do this.”
I wiped my tear-stained cheeks and stood up. I packed gloves and a cool arm tosh and came out, wearing rubber boots.
‘In this case, simple labor is straightforward.’
There were many times when I was sick, so I had to look out of the hospital room endlessly when I was young. Due to the inconvenience of movement, there were more days when I was only in the hospital room, and depression occurred as a result.
My mom threw me something to do when I was weak and couldn’t do anything. In general, it was simple labor that could be done easily.
-Mom, what’s this……?
– It’s garlic.
– No, but why did you……?
A slice of freshly picked garlic. And two fruits. Mom asked me to peel the garlic with her.
– There’s nothing difficult. If you’re having a hard time, just peel the garlic that mom gives you.
– I think my eyes are going to be sore.
– Try it. Even if you’re bored, time flies when you do this. This is better than dipping into soy sauce because I’m bored.
– Okay, got it.
The big shot in my house was definitely my mother. I had no strength to disobey my mother, who boasts a strong muscular body trained by farming.
– Ugh, it smells spicy.
As expected, when I peeled garlic, there were times when I cried because of the unique pungent scent. However, if I concentrate and peck at the white garlic kernel, I forget about the depression.
– Next is onions.
– Not onion… I’d rather have peas. Onions are too spicy.
– Yeah, okay.
Now that I think about it, it was my mother’s way of expressing affection. And after that, when I had a hard time, I found simple labor on my own.
“Okay. Let’s concentrate on farming and forget the troubles of the world.”
It was painful for me to dwell on the past. It was more beneficial to think of cute strawberry seedlings waiting for me at times like this.
“Woof! Woof woof!”
“…Do you want to go too, General?”
“Woof woof!”
General kept hovering around me that he wanted to come with me. If I didn’t take him, he would have been whining at home.
“I got it, I got it. Let’s go together.”
With the strong leash I had bought in advance hanging around general’s neck, I headed to my workplace.
“What?”
However, it was unusual that there were several footprints on the soil.
‘What is this? Is this the thing I left because I was excited with the general?’
I got goosebumps all over.
“Is, is it a ghost?”
No, right? If it was!
