Yoo-ah put his hand on the top of his head and took a deep breath. Because he has to wash up now.

 

“Oh, this… Why isn’t this going in?”

 

To do so, first of all, he had to put in these ears and soft tails that were still flapping above his head.

 

Young hybrid’s ears were sensitive, so he could have suffered from earache if he went into the water. What about the fur? It’s going to take a long time to take it out, wash it, and dry it.

 

For this reason, Yoo-ah had a moment of meditation. He thought it was easier to control than when he was a kid because he regained his memory. It was not easy yet because it was the first time for him to live in the past or present. Especially if he gets emotional like now.

 

There are many children who are not good at hiding their ears or tails until the lower grades of elementary school. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with kindergarten Yoo-ah because children are not good at handling their ears and tails.

 

“Even if it’s a nose job… I’m an adult. This is a matter of pride.”

 

Yoo-ah fought with his ears in the sink mirror with his blazing eyes. After many minutes had passed, the toddler, who managed to insert his ears, picked up strawberry-flavored toothpaste, which was the fate of preschoolers. ‘I think I took too much time thinking about miscellaneous things.’

 

No matter how much I’ve been reincarnated, even if my hair is still messy because it’s not organized, even if I have ears and tails on my head and hips,

 

In the end, Yoo-ah was a seven-year-old senior in kindergarten.

 

Even if the world was like this, he had to go to kindergarten. That’s the duty of a seven-year-old.

 

“I’m going to get hit…”

 

Yoo-ah squeezed toothpaste into a small children’s toothbrush and immediately bit it in his mouth. Strawberry-flavored toothpaste was a favorite of Yoo-ah before he became aware of his previous lives. Yoo-ah thought, feeling the sweet scent of artificial strawberries spreading in his mouth.

 

‘Even if I remember my past life, my taste buds doesn’t change?’

 

I definitely didn’t enjoy sweet tastes in my past life. I also drank coffee without syrup by adding a shot to my Americano. I could barely remember the last time I’ve eaten snacks such as candy and chocolate.

 

And yet, the one I’m holding in your mouth… I can’t believe I like it because it’s so sweet that I can’t even imagine toothpaste.

 

“Gosh, Yoo-ah ah! That’s not food! Don’t swallow it! Spit it out, spit it!”

 

“What?”

 

“Toothpaste is to brush your teeth and then say goodbye to germs. That’s not why you shouldn’t eat it.”

 

“What?”

 

“It’s because when bacteria enter Yoo-ah’s body, Yoo-ah will get sick.”

 

“What?”

 

“Bacteria, uh….”

 

“In that mhwoajdf pastjkfvjeosjdf?”

 

“….that’s why you can’t.”

 

When he first learned how to brush my teeth, he swallowed it because toothpaste was delicious. Jeong-hye’s expression, who was reluctant to attack a five-year-old question mark killer, finally calmed down.

 

Yoo-ah spat out the toothpaste foam on the sink. It’s a soft pink color. His gums didn’t bleed, but it seemed to be because the toothpaste was pink, so the oral condition seemed to be compliant.

 

“Of course I have to take good care of myself.”

 

When I started to spend money properly at the dentist, it was instantaneous to lose my parents’ spine.

 

Even if I can’t be a good son, I shouldn’t be an irreversible child. Yoo-ah rinsed his mouth, vowing to himself. After washing his face, he washed his hair right away. He skipped the shower because he didn’t have time.

 

“Mom, please dry my hair!”

 

Yoo-ah took a towel out of the bathroom drawer and put it on his head. It doesn’t matter if he dried it himself, but in Yoo-ah’s memory, Jeong-hye enjoyed drying her son’s hair.

 

There is no need to take away the joy of Jeong-hye, and there is no harm to each other because Yoo-ah himself can save trouble.

 

The baby’s brows are wrinkled.

 

‘I’m comfortable and happy. Isn’t it annoying?’

 

“Did you wash your hair yourself? Washed your face and brushed your teeth?”

 

“Yessssss.”

 

“My son is all grown up. At this rate, you might bring your bride to get married.”

 

Whiiiiiiii. The touch of drying Yoo-ah’s hair with a weak wind was very friendly. Even though he’s been acting suspicious for the past week. Yoo-ah did not understand that. His parents were surprised, but they did not deliberately pick on Yoo-ah or change their attitude toward them.

 

I think it would have been a shame if they did. I guess something changes when you become a parent.

 

In any case, it was rather good that they didn’t ask directly. I didn’t want to, and even if they asked, there was no way to explain.

 

‘I actually remember my past life. I died when I was 26. The gender was both male. I don’t know the cause of death. In the world where I lived, there was no such thing as hybrid, and yes, well, that’s right.’

 

I can’t say that. I didn’t think you’d believe what I said. It was the same here and if there was no evidence, it would be a fabrication. Maybe I’ll go to psychotherapy counseling or be admitted to a mental hospital. Still, it didn’t seem like there was a chance to hit the airwaves.

 

I’m confused. So confused. Yoo-ah pouted his lips.

 

Anyway, it is true that I did a lot of things that I didn’t think were childish, but it was really inevitable. Yoo-ah was so absent-minded that he almost ate the soup with chopsticks. This was a good adjustment.

 

Of course, even so, Yoo-ah had to continue acting as a child.

 

‘As long as the kernel is an adult, we can’t do it like before, but….’

 

I’ll try. Labor force that is.

 

The thought of the past life did not change the life of Yoo-ah much. Although it is still puzzling, it was not enough to turn the world upside down or collapse with bubbles. We did something similar.

 

Anyway, kindergarten students went to kindergarten, played well, ate well, slept well, and packed well. At this age, it was natural that you could not make a bank account, do stocks, or buy lottery tickets. Is it possible to have a children’s bank account? I don’t know. Even if I can make it, it’ll be accompanied by a guardian anyway, so this or that. That was it.

 

If it was like regression or transmigration, I would have bought non-X coins even if I had to beg my parents. There was no such thing, perhaps because the world was different.

 

“Mom. What’s that supposed to be?”

 

“That thing? It’s something called EG. Come to think of it, Yoo-ah, it’s your first time at a place that sells home appliances, right?”

 

He only found out now, but in fact, Yoo-ah have been feeling a sense of alienation, that they don’t know what it is. He didn’t realize it because he didn’t remember, but he instinctively noticed that the name was strange.

 

Whether it was annoying to name a company altogether or a lack of creativity. 

 

Since the artist takes the name of the company that appears in the work from the real company name, Yoo-ah named them JjapG and Jjapseong.

 

So why talk about this? The conclusion was that Yoo-ah could not aim for a lump sum of money.

 

It was a more painful identity after knowing it than before. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t feel wronged.

 

“It’s done! Now dry your hair well, my son. You became mature because you became an older brother in kindergarten?”

 

“…yes. Because…I’m a hyung…..”

 

Even though there was a delay due to being speechless, Yoo-ah, who managed to produce a childlike answer, swept his chest. It’s a matter of will…… After all, fraud as a 19 years old was never easy.

 

“Who’s son is this cute?”

 

“Mom’s son…”

 

“Does Yoo-ah like his mom or his dad?”

 

“Mom…”

 

Like a teddy bear that makes a sound when you press its stomach. Yoo-ah answered Jeong-hye’s question. Well… Although not as much as before, Jeong-hye seemed relieved at the state of her son’s return to some extent. In a way, Yoo-ah thought that it was not bad to even look happy. Really.

 

Yoo-ah sat on the toilet cover and waited calmly until Jeong-hye brushed Yoo-ah’s hair. In a way, it was a natural thing for Jeong-hye to have a happy smile on her face as she unconsciously moved her legs.

 

Jeong-hye stroked his neatly brushed and smooth head once and held Yoo-ah in her arms.

 

Yoo-ah changed his clothes quickly because no one could see him. Perhaps because of the beginning of summer, the clothes were changed to short-sleeved shorts. a yellow top and bottom with a different chroma. Yoo-ah stroked his stomach, feeling like a human forsythia. The yellow cloth on the boat, to be exact.

 

‘Ah… that’s tacky.’

 

I looked pretty cute for my age.

 

“Still, it’s not…”

 

Yoo-ah rummaged through the closet for a while. YooA, who succeeded in discovering a thin white cardigan that was finely folded deep in the back, sang joy.

 

‘As expected, the basic is white.’

 

After wearing a cardigan, he fastened his buttons tightly and returned to his place satisfactorily. The white ankle socks Jeong-hye made him wore, white sneakers, and with the kindergarten attendance bag as a finishing touch, he looked like he would appear in Menie’s Children’s Magazine.

 

“Yoo-ah, if you feel sick while playing, make sure to tell the teacher. Then I’ll pick you up right away. Got it?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Have fun with your friends. Enjoy your meal. Don’t fight. Don’t go out of kindergarten without a word. Yoo-ah, you can do it, right?”

 

“Yes!”

 

Yoo-ah nodded in front of the kindergarten, listening to Jeong-hye’s request.

 

She seemed a bit over-concerned, but this wasn’t all useless. Because it’s all done by Yoo-ah at least once. The only thing that was added to the comment he heard every day was to tell the teacher if it hurts even a little.

 

He let go of Jeong-hye’s hand and waved my hand at the front door of the kindergarten. Yoo-ah was envious and smiled brightly and thought.

 

‘Of course, I can’t keep that one in kindergarten.’

 

It was the moment of the birth of the filial son with fire attributes that would melt down his parents’ stomach gently.
