"Mother, Father, just concentrate on making my sister. Don"t worry about --"
But Kiyohira and Rie do not pay attention to him. Kiyohira puts his foot down and tells her, "Pack your stuff. We are leaving."
She raises her brow. "Where are we going?"
"We can"t stay in this house." He stares at her. "I get that we can"t go back to T city. Is there a lack of cities in our country where you won"t be recognized? I am not an actor who shows his face on the screen all the time. We are going to O island. We have a farmhouse there. It was a place that my father built for me to experience the life of a commoner. He even made me go to school there for a year."
Yuta gawks at his father. Why does his father suddenly want to go to O island of all the islands in the world? He died in that place.
"To experience the life of a commoner..." Rie has a similar expression like Yuta. "Rich people are something. They like to roleplay as commoners."
Awkwardly, Kiyohira coughs and looks away. "My father believed that I should know the mentality of..."
Rie raises her hand in front of his face. "If you continue speaking, I might beat you up."
Kiyohira shrugs nonchalantly. "It"s not my fault that I am born in a --"
"It"s your fault that you don"t know what you shouldn"t say." She squints her eyes. "You don"t have common sense at all."
Yuta shakes his head. His mother doesn"t have the right to blame his father for the lack of common sense. If she had common sense, their lives wouldn"t have turned out the way it did in their previous life. It can"t be helped. He wonders how did he inherit common sense when he has parents who seem to lack a great deal of it. Does he have to parent these two in this lifetime?
"Fine, get angry." Kiyohira grumbles. "I won"t tell you that O Island is a beautiful place to live in. I won"t tell you that Yuta will have a nice childhood there. I won"t tell you that I know how to sail."
Mother and son stare at him.
He clears his throat. "We can get away on weekends together. He can go to the same school I went to."
"I don"t need to go to --" Yuta wants to refuse. He might be four, but he"s an adult man. If he has to go to a school with other four years old... No, he can"t even imagine doing that. That would be torture.
Rie turns around and looks at her son. She frowns. "You are growing up fast. I have to send you to school when you are six. Maybe I should send you to preschool first."
"Mother, I --" Yuta opens his mouth to tell her that he doesn"t want to go to a preschool.
"He will have a sister soon." Kiyohira wraps his arm around her shoulders. "You will be busy with her and me."
"What if I don"t get pregnant again?" She scratches her chin. She"s truly keen for a daughter.
"Don"t worry. You will." He plants a kiss on her cheek. They are still young.
Why are these two not listening to him? How can they be so careless? Did they forget about DH? He"s here. Yuta stands up on the bed. "Father, Mother, I am too smart for school. I don"t want to go. Can"t we all just live together?"
"That"s why you need to go." Rie rubs his cheeks. "You should be able to make friends and good memories."
Her life was not bad before her mother left. Not all the memories from her childhood are her nightmares. Then, there are memories from the time she was with Ren. Her son is a genius without a doubt. He"s more like a man in a child form. That"s why she"s more worried. Maybe Kiyohira"s father"s idea isn"t bad. Her son needs to experience a normal life. He needs friends and good memories. If bad memories become our nightmares, good memories often become the reason to look forward to the future with a smile.
"You only have to go to preschool to make friends." Kiyohira smiles at his son knowingly. "I will hire tutors to teach you at home."
Yuta is speechless. His father is cruel. His father has an idea that he"s not ordinary. Still, he will send him to school with other kids. Just how is he supposed to make friends with four years old? What does he suppose to say to them? This is insane.
"I can"t wait to see him in a uniform." Rie"s eyes s.h.i.+ne brightly.
"I am also looking forward to it." Kiyohira smirks at Yuta. "My "little" son will definitely make friends."
His father is avenging him or what? What did he do to his father? His mother is squealing while imagining him in a school uniform. He gets closer to his father and whispers, "Father, why are you throwing me into the sea of fire? What did I do? I even helped you with Mother. Where"s the honor among men?"
"Son, you are not a man yet," Kiyohira whispers back. "When you reach my height, we will talk about man"s honor."
Yuta glares at him. "Guess what? I will be taller than you are. I will be more handsome."
Kiyohira chuckles. "How are you so confident that you will be taller and more handsome? I am "very" curious to know. If you tell me the reason behind your confidence, I will talk to your mother about whether we should send you to preschool or not."
Yuta eyes him scornfully. "Blackmailing your four years old son?"
"Are you really four?" Kiyohira blinks his eyes. "Then, you shouldn"t have any problem going to preschool and make "friends"."
"Tsk!"
There"s nothing he can do. He will rather speak than sit with four years olds.
