OMH Chapter 79

Oh My Hero – Episode 79

79. Change (2)

“Oppa, Oppa! Look at this. I’ll show you something amazing.”

After being so sick, Cha Wooreen was even more energetic.

Usually, when you’re recovering from an illness, you’re supposed to be weak, right?

But Cha Wooreen wasn’t usual, and she had energy to spare even late at night.

And with that overflowing energy, she dragged Woojin all over the place.

“Oppa. Oppa? Come here. Look at this, quickly.”

Moreover, if Woojin looked away for even a moment, she would cling to him and urge him on like that.

If left unchecked, Woojin would collapse from exhaustion.

For Woojin’s sake, I responded to Cha Wooreen.

“Wow, what is it? Show me too, Wooreen-ah.”

“I called our oppa, not Gang Hana oppa.”

The sly little kid wouldn’t give in easily.

“Hey~ Why be like that~ I want to see something amazing too. What is it?”

I approached Cha Wooreen and snuggled up to her, subtly pulling Woojin back.

But Woojin didn’t back down, as if he still intended to play with Cha Wooreen.

Woojin, who met my eyes, smiled and stroked my hair.

Wow, is this what it feels like to be chosen by a god? The face smiling at me was so beautiful that it didn’t feel human. It was a sculpture too perfect to be called a person.

I wanted to admire Woojin’s face more, but Cha Wooreen interrupted.

“Hold me.”

“Just now, you told me to follow you. But now you want me to hold you?”

“You can just hold me and walk. Hurry and hold me.”

“Alright. Is that okay now?”

“Yeah. Ehehe.”

Cha Wooreen, who had been clinging to Woojin since the Medical Center, was once again in Woojin’s arms.

Woojin must be tired, but he accepted everything Cha Wooreen asked him to do.

Thanks to Woojin’s sacrifice, Cha Wooreen looked very happy.

She was very sick today, so it would be okay for her to enjoy this luxury, right? If this happened every day, she would develop bad habits, but still.

Anyway, Cha Wooreen, feeling happy in Woojin’s arms, even took me into the bathroom.

Inside, as Cha Wooreen said, was an amazing situation.

It was a land of snow and ice, as if someone had turned on a snow blower.

‘Why did my room’s bathroom suddenly turn into a freezer?’

I looked around in disbelief.

-Bweeiii!

The baby monster cried out happily, as if excited, and crawled onto the bathtub railing.

Instantly, I instinctively became suspicious.

‘Did that thing make this mess?’

And my suspicion was correct.

Cha Wooreen proved it just in time.

“Look at Bwee Bwee. He’s doing something really cool.”

Cha Wooreen got out of Woojin’s arms and approached the monster.

“Bwee Bwee, do what you did before again. Say ‘Hoo’, say ‘Hoo~'”

-Bwee, bwee. Whooooosh-

“Eek, what is that?!”

The monster spewed out pure white cold air from its mouth.

Frost and ice chunks remained where the monster breathed out, falling to the floor with a thud.

I was surprised by the amount of snow and ice the monster had created.

It was such a large amount that it sounded like crunching snow when stepped on.

At the same time, having made the bathroom like this, I figured this has been going on for a while.

“Wooreen-ah, when did this start?”

“Huh? What?”

“I mean, doing this with Bwee Bwee.”

“Um~ Three times?”

“Three times? This is the third time?”

“No. I did this with Bwee Bwee three times and then called Oppa.”

I tilted my head while listening to Cha Wooreen’s story.

‘This isn’t the firepower that would turn the bathroom into a freezer in just four times.’

If the monster breathed out with the same firepower, only a small amount of snow would have accumulated, just enough to make footprints on the floor.

But here, the entire wall was covered in white frost, and icicles were hanging from the ceiling.

This was impossible with just four breaths.

“Are you sure it’s really four times? You haven’t learned numbers for very long, have you? Didn’t you mistake it for 40 times?”

“No! I’m not wrong!”

“Then how did you make the icicles on the ceiling? It doesn’t seem like your breath just now would even reach.”

“That’s because Bwee Bwee said ‘Hoo’ bigger.”

“How did you do it? Show me now.”

“Bwee Bwee, say ‘Hoo’~ Do it big!”

Cha Wooreen spread her arms wide and jumped up and down towards the monster.

The monster reacted immediately upon seeing Cha Wooreen.

-Bbyak! Bbyak! Whoaaaaa!

That damned monster spewed out an enormous amount of cold air from Cha Wooreen’s face, an amount that couldn’t even be compared to before.

“Heok, Wooreen-ah!”

The moment the monster opened its mouth, I jumped in and shielded Cha Wooreen.

I immediately evacuated to a place where the cold air wouldn’t reach, but my body was covered in frost due to the cold air that touched me for a moment.

Instinctively, I had a feeling that a child couldn’t be safe, so I urgently checked.

“Cha Wooreen! Are you okay?”

“Ung…… Gang Hana Oppa, why are you talking so scary? You told me to do it……”

Cha Wooreen, who was hugged in my arms, whined. Fortunately, it seemed she wasn’t hurt by the cold air.

It was strange that there wasn’t even a single piece of ice attached to my arm, which was holding the child and was frozen white.

But right now, what’s important is that the child isn’t hurt, so I didn’t care.

“Wooreen-ah!”

Woojin, who had come to our side before I knew it, hugged Cha Wooreen tightly.

“Oppa, look. Are you okay? Does anything hurt?”

Woojin, who was as surprised as I was, held Cha Wooreen and carefully examined her from every angle.

Woojin let out a sigh of relief after confirming that the child was safe.

Cha Wooreen looked at us as if she found us strange.

“Why are you guys acting like that since a while ago? I showed you something amazing. How was it?”

“Yeah…… Oppa was amazed too. Thank you for showing me…… It’s late, so let’s go to bed now.”

Woojin picked up Wooreen and kissed her on the top of her head a few times.

Woojin, who was looking at his younger sister with a sad look, turned his gaze to me and said.

“I’ll put her to sleep soon. Let’s clean up together.”

Woojin, who showed me a dreamy and beautiful smile like a midsummer night’s dream, a smile that seemed like it would disappear as soon as I turned my eyes, carried the child and left the bathroom.

Left alone, I turned my head and looked around.

The icicles on the ceiling seemed to have doubled in volume, and the floor was piled high with snow and frost. The frost on the walls seemed to be at least 2 centimeters thick.

It was quite the firepower after all.

‘The research team would be happy to know.’

While having silly thoughts, I heard a strange sound.

-Bweeiii

The monster came down from the bathtub and cried out at my feet.

“When did you start doing this? If I leave you alone, won’t you freeze the whole room while sleeping?”

I grumbled to the monster for no reason, even though I knew it wouldn’t understand.

-Bwee?

Still, the monster tilted its head as if it understood the nuance that I was asking it a question. It seemed like it would understand everything I said if I left it alone for a while.

“No, it’s okay. It’s enough if I, a human, manage it. Get out of here, you’re getting in the way of cleaning.”

I touched the monster’s head, changed its scale color, and opened the bathroom door wide to let the monster out.

The quick-witted monster quickly ran out.

It seemed like things would be busy tomorrow because of that thing again.

*

This morning was busier than usual.

This was because I had to organize the evidence photos and videos of the bathroom that the monster had wreaked havoc on yesterday, write a report, and send it.

I went to bed later than usual because I was cleaning the bathroom, but I had to advance my wake-up time because of the report, so I was a little disoriented.

But I couldn’t skip jogging, so I couldn’t help it. My training time has decreased a lot while living with Woojin, so yeah.

Anyway, everything I had to do was finished safely within the time limit.

Now it’s time to wake up Woojin and Cha Wooreen.

But Cha Wooreen’s condition was strange.

“Hic, hic……”

‘What, is she crying in her sleep?’

Panicked, I shook Cha Wooreen awake first, unlike usual.

“Wooreen-ah, Cha Wooreen! Why are you crying? Wake up.”

“Eeing…… Waaaaaaaa!”

When I woke the sleeping child, she burst into tears.

Woojin, who was sleeping soundly, was also startled by the sound of the child crying and jumped up.

“Cha, Cha Wooreen? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Woojin took Cha Wooreen from my arms and hugged her tightly, touching her forehead.

Cha Wooreen whimpered, touching Woojin’s hand that was touching her forehead.

“Oppa, my head hurts…… Hic, it hurts here.”

The 7-year-old child had tears in her eyes and held her oppa’s hand, which was touching her forehead, tightly.

It was a really pitiful and heartbreaking sight, but today is a weekday with many schedules.

The time for work was approaching. A decision had to be made.

“Wooreen-ah, how much does it hurt? Is it to the point where you can’t go to kindergarten?”

“Hic, hweek, waaaaaak-”

“Wooreen-ah! Why are you doing this? Does your stomach hurt too? Does your head and stomach hurt?”

“Uwaaaaaa!”

Cha Wooreen, who was about to answer my question, threw up in Woojin’s arms and cried so loud that the house was about to collapse.

It seems like she won’t be able to attend class today.

*

“How is it? Did you find out what the problem is this time?”

“Hmm, no. It just seems like a migraine.”

“Really? Can a little kid be like this with a migraine for two days in a row?”

“I haven’t seen a case where a kid this young suffers from such a severe migraine either. I’ll prescribe some medicine for now, so feed it to her when it’s time.”

Hwayoung handed over the prescription and left the hospital room.

Cha Wooreen was lying on the bed, holding Woojin’s hand tightly.

Woojin stroked Cha Wooreen and said gently.

“Your head doesn’t hurt anymore, right? Everything will be alright.”

“Oppa…… Don’t leave me behind……”

“Oppa won’t leave you behind. So sleep well.”

“Ung……”

Cha Wooreen, who was quietly receiving Woojin’s touch, blinked her eyes as if she was drowsy, and then fell asleep.

Only the child’s gentle breathing could be heard in the quiet hospital room.
