That Smuggler

Chapter 7

Seong-ji could not believe her eyes. She kept staring at the paper blanky... After sometime, she put the paper on it's previous place. She was too shocked to know the fact that Sung-hoon is Adopted...

Straightly going downstairs, she found the same crowd of people. She took a glance at her watch and saw that it was 12:20 am.

Her eyes started to look for Sung-hoon as she found him sitting on the sofa, closing half of his eyes.

She approached him letting out a sigh, with a calm voice, she spoke, "Will you let me take you home? It's late at night.."

Sung-hoon looked up at her with his half closed eyes and replied with a pout, "I don't wanna go home! I'm gonna sleep here! "

He laid down on the sofa after saying that, in order to sleep. Closing his eyes in pleasure, he tried to have a peaceful sleep.

But pulling him out of his peace, Seong-ji yelled loudly, "You can't sleep here!! Let's go home! "

With that, Seong-ji held Sung-hoon's one arm, trying to make him sit up again. As she started pulling him, he fake-cried, "Mom! Dad! An old, ugly witch is trying to kidnap me!! Help!"

Sung-hoon's dad arrived there and saw that Sung-hoon was talking non-sense. It was probably because he was fully 'DrUnK'. Sung-hoon's dad came in front of Seong-ji as he spoke,

"It's hard to handle him when he's drunk. You may fastly take him to his mansion."

Seong-ji :Ok sir, I'll pass.

Sung-hoon :What? Dad? You're letting this evil witch kidnap me?! Huh??

Seong-ji :What did you say? Say it again!

Sung-hoon : Evil ugly old witch!

Seong-ji tried hard to calm down. She gently grabbed Sung-hoon's arm and started pulling him outside. But Sung-hoon was too hard to handle.

He kept falling here and there because of the dizziness he claimed from the alcohol.

"Why are you wasting time?! Why do you keep falling?! "-she said in annoyed tone, making him stand up again.

She wrapped Sung-hoon's one arm around her neck, leading him outside.

Finally getting out of there, Seong-ji gently placed Sung-hoon inside the car, on the passenger seat while she took the driver seat for herself.

She looked at Sung-hoon who was now gently sitting on the passenger seat, beside her. As she stared at his face, the image of the Adaptation paper flashed in front of her.

She was feeling so sorry for him because, the family he knew, the family he loved and the family which is the main source of his comfort was not his 'real family'...

Pulling her out of the thoughts, Sung-hoon spoke, " Hey ugly witch, do you think I am handsome? "

"Yes.. too mu-.. I mean no! Not at all! "

"Then why are you giving me those looks? You're creeping me out! "

Seong-ji disappointedly shifted her eye-sight away from him and started the car without splitting a single word.

5 minutes passed. Sung-hoon spoke out being anxious, "Hey old witch! I wanna go to amusement park! " ✧

Seong-ji looked at him with a pissed off face. Sung-hoon was staring at her with hope. Seong-ji spoke,

"We are not going anywhere else but home. "

"Please, old witch! If you take me to the amusement park, I won't report to police that you kidnapped me! "
