“Phew. Cuengi, come here.”

Sejun, after re-engraving a new tattoo with Kaiser’s scale on his left arm, called Cuengi.

Krueng… Krueng.

[Sorry, Dad… Cuengi made a mistake.]

Knowing he was at fault, Cuengi cautiously approached Sejun, checking his reaction. He was aware that his brief moment of agitation had put Sejun in danger.

“It’s okay. It wasn’t Cuengi’s fault.”

Sejun said, patting Cuengi’s head, reassuring him. Sejun knew. Such incidents could happen again. It wasn’t something Cuengi could just control with willpower alone.

In TV or YouTube videos, you’d sometimes see owners struggling to handle the energy levels of their large dogs. However, it’s the owner’s responsibility to handle it, not the dog’s fault.

Rather, Cuengi had been holding back, even subconsciously, always considering Sejun. For example, he never kicked Sejun in his sleep.

Moreover, whenever Theo cuddled, Cuengi, wanting the same, resisted the urge every day. Whenever he exerted force during fights, he always adjusted his direction and strength, considering Sejun’s position.

Sejun felt more guilty knowing how much Cuengi was trying for him.

Kroooueng!

Relieved by Sejun’s words, Cuengi shed tears. Only now did his pent-up emotions burst out.

“Why are you crying, Cuengi? Dad is really okay.”

Sejun wiped Cuengi’s tears and reassured him, holding him close and comforting him.

Then,

‘I don’t like it, meow!’

Theo felt uncomfortable seeing only Cuengi getting petted. But for now, as the elder brother, he sat quietly on Sejun’s lap.

Tap. Tap.

Theo’s tail gently patted Cuengi’s butt.

“Cuengi, you said you wanted to see grandma?”

Once Cuengi had calmed down a bit, Sejun spoke, holding up the Mirror of Longing.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Yes! Cuengi wants to see Cuengi’s grandma!]

Cuengi responded energetically to Sejun’s question.

“Okay. Look, this is Cuengi’s grandma.”

Sejun showed Cuengi the image of Kim Mi-ran in the Mirror of Longing.

Krueng! Krueng!

[It’s Cuengi’s grandma! Cuengi missed grandma!]

Cuengi joyfully observed the mirror.

“Beside her are grandpa and younger dad.”

Since it was dinner time and they were all eating together, Sejun also introduced the others. In this way, Cuengi familiarized himself with all of Sejun’s family.

Krueng?

[Daddy, what’s that?]

Cuengi began to inquire about the side dishes he saw in the mirror.

“That’s Kimchi stew. It’s the food dad wants to eat the most.”

Krueng?

[Is Kimchi stew that delicious?]

“Well, you can get tired of it if you eat it often, but then you miss it when you don’t.”

Krueng.

[That’s confusing.]

Cuengi found Sejun’s words puzzling.

“You’ll understand when you’re older.”

Sejun gently stroked Cuengi’s head as he spoke. Of course, it might never happen for Cuengi. The thought of Cuengi getting tired of food? It was hard to imagine.

“Let’s go home now.”

Sejun took the animals and ascended to the 99th floor of the tower.
