Anxiety

I was woken up by the sunrise. I rubbed my eyes from fatigue and instead of getting up right away, I lay down and looked at the ceiling. All my bones hurt after a night of sex with In-ho. After half an hour of lying down, I graciously got up and combed my hair and left the bedroom, and in the living room I found Min-ho eating American toast while watching a cartoon on Disney+. I went to the kitchen where my husband and the salesman were.

-It's eight in the morning, Salesman, what are you doing here?- I asked and turned on the coffee maker. I leaned against the counter looking at the men.

-I stopped by to visit my friends, but I see that you are both sore. Don't say anything, I know what you did. You're lucky that the young one was asleep, because if he caught you...

-Okay, okay, enough lesson. Are you already starting to recruit players for the next edition?-asked my beloved and took a sip of coffee.

-In-ho, it's only the beginning of October, a week before the game I'm starting to take people- he said and I could see from his face that he was sad. I could see it in his eyes.

-Salesman, what is bothering you? Don't lie to me because I can see that there is something wrong.

-Okay, I was going to talk to In-ho about it in the office, but I want you to know it from me than from your husband Bev. I'm worried because player 456 is looking for me and wants to get the truth out of me and then kill me – he confessed and I was stunned. Gi-gun wants to get rid of Salesman and get to us? What for? After all, he won the money and was supposed to fly to his daughter in the States, but he stayed because he wanted to destroy my husband's business.

"I saw him yesterday and he didn't smile much. He pushed me but helped me up and took a picture with me because he is a fan of mine - I said and took the finished drink and took a sip of the hot liquid.

-Did he recognize your voice? Because I know you talked to him.

-I do not know... He recognized me as a media star, but I don't know if I was on the island at the time, I confessed.

-Let's say yes. It's better to be safe than sorry," said the Salesman, and Min-ho appeared with an empty plate.

-I ate!- he shouted and handed over an empty plate to In-ho, which he put in the dishwasher - And uncle yesterday I met this rapper that Uncle Sebastian was talking about!

-Thanos? And it's not your ex from high school?-asked my husband's friend and took my son in his arms.

-Unfortunately, yes- In-ho answered for me.

-Well, well, someone is jealous here- said the Salesman singingly, hugging Min-ho.

-Shut up!- he growled and got a slap on the arm from me - Ouch, and for what?

-Not with Min-ho-I scolded him and turned to the boy with a smile on my face-Honey, maybe you can go back to watching cartoons and dad and I can talk to uncle, huh?

-Okay, mommy- he said and the Salesman put him on the ground and trotted towards the living room, where a moment later a fairy tale could be heard.

-If you meet him, give him a business card- said In-ho and his friend nodded in the affirmative.

-Do you want to kill him in these damn games?!

"That's your ex," they both said and I rolled my eyes. There was no chance to dissuade them from my husband's idea.

-Okay, I won't say anything anymore because I know it doesn't make sense - I gave up and drank my coffee to the end.

-In-ho, I was at your brother's hospital yesterday, but the doctor told me that he was waking up and they let him go because his mother insisted- he said, and my husband's eyes were worried and relieved at the same time. I saw them both shoot each other in the right shoulder, but my brother-in-law fell into the water, where an old fisherman saved him.

"I haven't been to his place even once," he confessed and I hugged the man who laid his head on mine.

-It doesn't make you a bad brother, remember... Salesman, do you have anybody?-I asked, rubbing my husband's back.

-He? He has never been in a stable relationship, only fleeting affairs - my husband answered for him

-That's actually true, but I'll surprise you now. It turned out that last summer one of the women I slept with gave birth to a son and checked that I was a father. I did not accept it until September of this year. We decided to join in a relationship and give the little one parents," he said, and the mug he was holding fell to the floor, spilling the already cold coffee and breaking on the marble floor.

-In-ho, another mug- I said and peeled it off and started cleaning it up and my husband was still in disbelief.

-You? In a relationship? As a father!

-That's how it turned out and I decided to ask you if you wouldn't like to be a godfather?

-Old man very willingly!- he shouted and they embraced each other in a man's embrace. I secretly took a picture of them and before they looked at me, I laid me on the counter.

"Congratulations Sal," I said and hugged the man.

-When will we meet her?- my husband asked, moving me to his side.

-How about a double date? I bet.

"Great idea, we're into it," I replied enthusiastically.

-I think I'll be on the flight now. You need to rest after the night of fun and take care of your son," he said and went to say goodbye to Min-ho and left our apartment.

"You're going to be a chesty father," I said, and tapped him on the shoulder, looking for something in the fridge.

-I know, but it's strange that we find out about it now. Do you think 456 really wants to kill him?

-Hey, don't think that. The salesman is careful and will make it, and your brother will not meet us. Seoul is big and will not happen to us. I promise you that," I said and hugged him. He wanted to kiss me, but I stepped back-First brush your teeth, then kiss me.

"What a mean one," he muttered and went to the bathroom.

-That's why you love me, darling- I replied happily, and the man showed me the middle finger in response.
