Suddenly waking up in bed, So-Ri rubbed her groggy head and sat up. Getting off the bed and about to open the closed door, So-Ri hesitated when she heard a voice from outside. It was the unfamiliar term “dad” that caught her attention.
“Would it be difficult for So-Ri to know about her dad, even if you tell her?”
“Yes, probably. Even though she didn’t express it, she must have been curious. I would have felt the same if I were her.”
“I’m sorry. It’s my stubbornness that made her lonely.”
“So-Ri loves her mother very much. If there’s a reason, she’ll understand.”
“But I don’t have the confidence to explain the reason. Whatever the reason is, it will hurt. She’ll end up hating me.”
“That’s unlikely. The So-Ri I know wouldn’t be that kind of person.”
“Yeah, I can’t hide it forever. I have to tell her that her dad is nearby…”
Suddenly snapping to attention as if doused in cold water, So-Ri dropped her hand that was resting on the doorknob.
“Dad?” Out of nowhere.
Her dad is nearby.
But thinking about it, So-Ri couldn’t recall anyone who fit that description.
No one had ever come to see her mother until now…
So-Ri’s gaze moved from side to side as if searching for the answer.
And then…
“The young man named Kang Woo, you know all about him, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Kang Woo? Han Kang Woo?
The puzzle pieces that had scattered were now falling into place one by one.
Han Kang Woo, who wanted to become her younger brother.
The reason he kept bringing up his dad in front of her, then…
Startled, So-Ri covered her mouth with her hand, almost letting out a surprised breath.
Now everything made sense.
The recent interest the rich man had shown in her mother’s health and kidney transplant.
“It can’t be.”
An indescribable emotion chilled her from head to toe.
Is this joy or sadness?
Returning to bed, So-Ri collapsed as if drained of strength.
Her eyes, filled with shock, lost focus.
Director Han Sung-Jae is my dad.
What unexpectedly shocked her mind quickly became simple.
In an instant, a single thought took over her mind.
I want to see him.
My dad.
That’s all.
The next day.
As soon as So-Ri finished her evening shift at the hospital, she hurriedly prepared to leave. She checked the belongings she had placed in her locker, took them out, and ran out of the hospital.
Today, there was a place she had to go without fail.
A taxi reserved for her at Doro Taxi had its emergency lights on, waiting for So-Ri. The face of So-Ri, who got into the taxi, was deeply etched in the driver’s memory.
Soon, the place So-Ri arrived at was the remodeled house where Kang Woo had recently taken her. It was to bring the lunch bag and dishes.
Of course, that wasn’t just an excuse; she wasn’t sure how hard she ate to make empty dishes.
The lunchbox was filled with dishes and rolls that felt sincerely made.
Did you know that you were my daughter?
When did he know?
Why didn’t he search for me throughout his life?
Many questions swirled in my head, but what could I possibly say…
So-Ri walked slowly and stood in front of the door. With trembling fingertips, she pressed the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened, revealing Sung-Jae. He looked extremely surprised at the unexpected visit from So-Ri.
“Hello?”
“No. How is this place…”
“Am I bothering you while you’re busy?”
“No, not at all.”
Sung-Jae, who opened the door wide, gestured for So-Ri to come in.
As So-Ri hesitated standing, Sung-Jae asked her.
“Would you like some coffee? Or maybe milk tea?”
“I like coffee.”
“All right. Sit here comfortably and wait for a moment.”
“Okay.”
After placing the things she brought on the living room sofa table, So-Ri sat down.
The confusion had disappeared, and Sung-Jae, who smiled with a clearly welcoming expression, went into the kitchen.
The sound of coffee beans grinding in the semi-automatic coffee machine could be heard.
So-Ri didn’t take her eyes off Sung-Jae, who was standing in front of the kitchen. A person’s appearance whom she had never imagined, the figure of the man called her father.
An indescribable emotion surged through her.
“The newly bought coffee beans are so delicious that I felt reluctant to enjoy them alone. It seems like there’s a reason to treat someone.”
“…Thank you.”
The brown liquid in the white mug, which he claimed to have made himself, emitted a truly savory aroma.
Taking a sip of the peanut-scented coffee, So-Ri brought up the reason for coming here.
“Thank you for the lunchbox. I enjoyed it very much.”
“Sure, you’re welcome.”
“Yes, it was delicious.”
“I’ve been relieving stress through cooking while preparing for the movie lately. Anytime you want, just let me know. I’ll make it for you.”
“…”
“Oh, I just treat you like a close sister to Kang Woo. Don’t feel burdened, thinking of me as your dad.”
“Yes.”
Feeling the warmth in her eyes, So-Ri lowered her head deeply.
Why don’t you reveal your existence to me?
Is it that you can’t, not that you won’t?
I don’t know whether I should ask or resent.
But strangely, I felt like I didn’t want to ask anything.
