Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 88 Paula's Growth

As night fell, Paula's mother jogged home through the rain in Fenghuangtang Hutong.

Seeing that no one from home had returned yet, Yu Hui and Deok-sun were at school, and Bora's dad was a little late getting off work today.

Paula! Have you eaten yet?

Paula's mother brought her food a little while before she left.

When no one answered the door, Paula's mother felt a strange pang of anxiety.

Pushing open the door, the food remained untouched, and Paula was nowhere to be seen.

Paula's mother took a deep breath, her thoughts momentarily in disarray.

Realizing what was happening, he immediately ran outside.

Sunwoo's family

"Sunwoo's mom! Have you seen our Bora?"

Paula's mother anxiously pushed open the courtyard gate.

"I haven't seen her! Isn't she home?" Sunwoo's mother replied, who was braiding Pearl's hair.

"Where did they go! Where could they have gone!" Paula's mother frowned, her face anxious.

Zhengfeng Family

"We haven't seen them! They haven't come to our house!"

Zhengfeng's father shook his head as he looked at Paula's mother who had rushed over in a hurry.

Phoenix Hall Watch Shop

Paula's mother, her clothes soaked by the rain, rushed in anxiously.

"Aze's dad! Have you seen our Paula?"

"Has anyone been here before?"

“I didn’t see it,” Aze’s father shook his head.

"Oh my god! Where are we going?!"

"What do we do! What do we do?!"

Paula's mother paced back and forth anxiously.

"Paula's mom, here!" Aze's dad handed her an umbrella when he saw she was soaked by the rain.

“Okay!” Paula’s mom took the umbrella and immediately walked out of the alley.

Ssangmun-dong Street

Paula was making a call in the phone booth. She struggled with her decision for a long time before finally deciding to call and tell them that she could not participate in the next operation.

But no matter how she dialed, she couldn't get through, and Paula, extremely anxious, had no choice but to hang up.

Paula, who was opening her umbrella to go home, noticed out of the corner of her eye that two men in black raincoats were watching her.

Startled, I quickly walked towards the alley.

But when they reached the alley entrance, Paula stopped.

Can't go back!

In just a second or two, Paula made a decisive decision and walked out of the alley.

......

Paula's dad, who had just gotten off work, carried a black bag on his head and jogged along.

He looked up at the road and, as he approached the alley entrance, saw a familiar figure walking quickly in the distance, holding an umbrella.

Paula's father wiped the rain off his face and finally confirmed that it was his eldest daughter, Paula.

"precious......."

Just as she was about to call out to Paula, she saw two men in black raincoats quickly following behind her.

A strong sense of unease welled up inside him, and he was startled. Ignoring the rain, he grabbed his bag and quickly followed.

Paula's speed increased, and she started running at full speed the instant she turned the corner.

She quickly folded her umbrella as she hid in the next street corner.

But misfortunes never come singly, and a delayed boat is met with a headwind.

Today, the umbrella seemed to be working against her; she just couldn't put it away.

She finally managed to close the umbrella, but two dark figures blocked out the light in front of her.

"Sung Bora, it's you!"

"Seoul National University, Mathematics Education Major, Second Year."

"You must be Sung Bora?"

A man in black confirmed this in a stern tone.

You know Zhao Xiong, right?

"Choi Woong, President of the Student Union of Seoul National University".

"He was the cadre who organized this matter."

"Did anyone illegally trespass into the Keledong area of ​​Songpa District or participate in a demonstration at the Gerakan Party Training Institute?"

Another man in black verbally pressured Paula.

“No, I’ve never done that,” Paula said coolly.

"Hey! You little brat, admit it while we're still friendly, and come with us!"

A man in black sneered and prepared to step forward and grab Paula.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared behind them.

The two men in raincoats turned around and saw Paula's father standing behind them with a serious expression.

Before they could ask anything, Paula's father walked up to Paula and looked at her.

Paula avoided eye contact with her father.

Paula's father turned around and faced the two men in black.

"She's my daughter, arrest me instead!"

The two men in black, their faces grim, gave a helpless laugh.

"We're after Sung Bora, uncle, you must be joking."

The man in black tried to reach past Paula's father to pull Paula, but was blocked by him.

"She's my daughter, I'm her father! How could any father just stand by and watch his daughter be taken away?!"

The shouts echoed through the street as Paula's father, like a rooster protecting a chick from being snatched away by an eagle, held Paula firmly behind him.

"Paula!" Paula's mother, who had come looking for her husband after hearing the voice, dropped her umbrella and ran over quickly, standing with him.

“My daughter isn’t, you can’t arrest her!” Paula’s mother.

“Hey, ma’am…” said the man in black.

Do you know what kind of person my daughter is?!

"Studying in this area is the best!"

"She's far ahead of the kids from wealthy families; she's always been number one!"

“You could totally go to Seoul National University’s law school!”

"I changed my application to become a teacher training program just because of the scholarship!"

"I got into Seoul National University and even received a scholarship for a year!"

"Her childhood dream was to become a prosecutor, a lawyer, and a judge."

"To avoid worrying my parents about tuition fees, I took it upon myself to talk to my teacher and change my college application!"

You know Seoul National University, right?

"Only the elite of our country can get in!"

"She didn't even need extra tutoring, and she passed the exam on her first try!"

"That's exactly the kind of person my daughter is!"

Do you know...?

Unlike Paula's father, whose actions spoke louder than words in showing his love, Paula's mother, in front of strangers, incessantly recounted all of Paula's good qualities, unconsciously reciting so many things from her memories, all just to get the two men to leave Paula alone...

In front of the police, the two men appeared to be an unreasonable father and an unreasonable woman, completely abandoning their dignity to protect their daughter regardless of what she had done.

This situation was shattered when Paula looked down and saw her mother's injured toe bleeding, her white sock stained red, and exposed.

The mother felt no pain at all; at that moment, her toes probably felt as much heartache as she did.

"I was wrong!"

"I was wrong!"

"Take me with you!"

"Take me to the police station!"

At this moment, Paula, who had never admitted her mistakes, put aside her pride. As a daughter, she could no longer bear to see her parents like this.

Paula's shout interrupted her mother's words, and her mother turned her head, tears mingling with the rain.

"No way! Paula! You didn't do anything wrong!"

Paula's mother tried her best to stop Paula from going out.

"No! We can't go!"

"Wife! Let her go!"

From the moment Paula cried out that she was wrong, Paula's father understood that Paula had grown up.

Paula's mother still held Paula's hand, but Paula took her hand away.

Paula's dad helped Paula's mom up. Watching their daughter's back, Paula's mom felt calmer with her dad there. She was willing to admit her mistake and get out.

The worst case scenario is Paula from the very beginning. If she's stubborn and refuses to be forgiven, she'll really be in serious trouble.

When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you.

A car stopped at the intersection, blocking the way for the two and Paula.
