Chapter 119.2

perhaps he said it after noticing the shame on the child’s face. but adam couldn’t understand the doctor who looked at him proudly.

the expression “special” didn’t even sound good.

adam, the founder of mankind, ate the fruit of good and evil. as a result, every human being has it at the moment of birth.

the original sin.

he was guilty of two things.

one was this original sin.

the other was the crime of becoming a monster and killing his mother.

it can’t be a proud life.

i’d rather die.

* * *

adam eventually left the doctor.

he couldn’t stand the compassionate gaze that always followed him.

and he realized. you don’t have to be an adult to take responsibility for your life.

thus, adam flowed into the slums as usual with orphans who were treated as troublesome.

he didn’t want to get involved with anyone anymore.

however, in order to survive, he eventually had to borrow adult power. still, it was good that the adults in the slums did not look at him sympathetically like dr. bjorn.

adam made money by guiding korean tourists to illegal gambling houses or running small errands. it was a moment when the korean language he learned from marie shone.

“i-i have a daughter! she’s still young, but kids these days grow up fast, right? you never know, if she wakes up to omega, i’ll get a higher price! i’ll put her as collateral. what?”

and knowing various languages meant being exposed to such poor conversations without protection.

“is it him again?”

a handsome man who is indistinguishable from a woman at first glance. he has been a man who has been in and out of the gambling house for some time.

he lost money every time and went back. he was a fool who lost all of his money by accident by betting it back on the stakes.

he’s trying to borrow money using his child as collateral.

he was a father who was no better than trash.

at the same time, he felt sorry for the child who would be waiting for such a human being.

fortunately, no man’s suggestion has ever been accepted. it was a natural choice for a gambling house. if you even deal with human trafficking, foreign customers will be cut off that day.

before long, the man no longer showed his face at the gambling house. adam quietly asked the staff in charge of currency exchange.

“is he not coming anymore?”

“who are you talking about?”

“you know, the guy who talked about handing over his child as collateral.”

“oh, that guy? he lost big time.”

“well…”

did he go back to the house where his daughter was waiting?

it was time for expectations without realizing it.

“i heard he’s moving to another gambling house because he doesn’t want to lose here anymore.”

adam sighed softly.

he wouldn’t have given up gambling. if he was a human being who would soon come to his senses, he would not have brought his child to the philippines where he could not communicate in the first place.

“he’s trash.”

“he’s garbage.”

the counter clerk recklessly mumbled along adam’s words, counting the money.

strangely, from that day on, the existence of unknown faces felt like a heavy burden.

the kid,

is the child all right?

adam recognized the man’s child at a glance.

it was one day when he was walking around the slums for collection.

she stood out because she was a foreigner with exceptionally white skin. the sight of her wandering around holding on to her hungry stomach seemed to have starved for a few days.

“what are you doing there?”

“what?”

adam spoke to her without realizing it.

the girl asked adam back in a daze.

“k-korean…. you know how to speak it.”

the anticipated light brown eyes shone brightly. it was like a dream. he didn’t think she would be this happy.

“i’m asking what you’re doing.”

adam said grumpily.

even if he met his daughter, he didn’t mean to be particularly nice to her. it just bothered him a little bit.

“ah…… i’m hungry.”

the child answered, grasping her hungry stomach.

it sounded like a wet puppy was whimpering. adam handed over a bill.

“are you giving it to me?”

as if so, adam shook the bill without saying a word. the child was handed a crumpled bill carefully.

“by the way, i……. i don’t know how to spend money.”

“what?”

it was shocking.

the child was also embarrassed, so she just smiled.

“where can i buy food?”

adam took the money back when she asked. and he bought something to eat for the stupid kid.

“eat.”

“!”

the child pushed the food adam bought into her mouth.

the child, who finished her meal with her mouth full, looked at adam and asked.

“hey, what’s your name? i’m seo haewon.”

“it’s noisy.”
