“Oh, no. Of course not. I personally confirmed that Han Da Jeong took a long-distance bus to Gyeonggi Province this morning. One of the bus stops was near here.”
“Shouldn’t you have mentioned that first?”
With that remark, Myeong Ok didn’t wait for Manager Choi’s response and continued walking.
As she entered the residential building, she scuffed her shoes on the ground with a wrinkled face. The sound of sand falling accompanied her movement.
At that moment, a woman in simple attire appeared at the end of the corridor and greeted them with light steps.
“Hello. Thank you for coming.”
“Oh, no. I should be thanking you. Compared to the teachers here, I’ve done nothing.”
Myeong Ok smiled gracefully and bowed politely. Her previous attitude was nowhere to be found in this elegant demeanor.
“Please come inside for now.”
“Yes, let’s do that.”
Following Eun Hye’s guidance, Myeong Ok stepped into the building.
Uninterested in self-introductions and the lengthy explanation about the orphanage, a small sign reading ‘Director’s Office’ appeared at the end of the hallway.
“Our director is currently hospitalized, so it may be difficult to meet her.”
“Yes, I heard she successfully underwent major surgery.”
“Oh, you know about it.”
“Well, our foundation isn’t just about sending money. The Hyosung Foundation shares its heart.”
“Yes…”
Eun Hye nodded, clearly touched, and opened the door to the director’s office.
Inside, they saw a modest bookshelf and a worn-out sofa. As they slowly took in the sight of the office, they noticed a pair of hunched shoulders in one corner.
I see.
Myeong Ok’s lips curled slightly, like a hunter who had spotted its prey.
“Oh, hello.”
Though the prey seemed quite strong-willed, she initiated the greeting. Despite her trembling voice.
“Hello. Are you a teacher here?”
“Oh, no. Da Jeong is a former resident here. She often comes here to help with activities at the orphanage whenever she has free time.”
“Ah… I see.”
While only half-listening to Eun Hye’s explanation that she already knew, Myeong Ok’s pupils narrowed.
She seems much younger than in the photos.
Her round, innocent eyes and clear skin complemented her petite frame. Her lack of makeup and simple attire actually added to her charm.
It doesn’t suit her at all. Myeong Ok quietly chuckled, thinking of Taesang’s agile eyes.
“I… I’ve actually seen your face before in the company’s newspaper.”
“The company? Oh, are you an Air Korea employee?”
“Yes…”
Da Jeong replied, barely managing to lift the corners of her mouth.
Even though she likely knew everything about her appearance and personal information. Given her sincere and somewhat trembling demeanor, it was hard to imagine her as a person capable of lying.
“This must be fate. Meeting a company person like this outside.”
Myeong Ok smiled brightly as she crossed the director’s office. She stopped in front of Da Jeong and extended her hand gracefully.
“I’ll be relying on you today, Han Da Jeong.”
“…?”
Although no one had mentioned their names, no one.
Da Jeong looked silently at the corners of her mouth that had risen sharply. It seemed as if she was saying, “I already know, and you are not my counterpart.” It was almost as if she was saying only that.
Somehow, she couldn’t just stand there and take it. Da Jeong put more strength into her round eyes. With Tae Sang absent, I was the only person I could rely on.
“Yes. I’m counting on you, Director Yoon Myeong Ok.”
Da Jeong firmly shook her hand.
“Alright. Let’s start by taking a look inside.”
“Yes, I’ll guide you.”
Eun Hye approached Myeong Ok with her characteristic brisk smile.
“Well, how about I get an explanation from Han Da Jeong?”
“Da Jeong?”
“Yes. Even if the teacher here knows the facility well, it’s not as much as someone who lived here, right?”
…”
Myeong Ok’s words pierced like arrows.
With everyone’s eyes on her, Da Jeong, as if feeling uneasy, dropped the two hands she had been clenching. Her composed expression and gaze turned toward Myeong Ok.
“If you prefer that, I can do it.”
“Sure, let’s do that.”
Myeong Ok turned coolly and shifted her body. The secretaries standing by her side seemed to want to follow, but when Myeong Ok raised her palm slightly, they halted.
“No need for everyone to come.”
It was a brief gesture, but it exuded overwhelming force that could be felt by those around her. The burly men returned to their positions like trained hunting dogs.
Da Jeong left Eun Hye with a relieved smile and took her leave.
As they exited the director’s office, the cold air in the corridor swept beneath their shoes. Unintentionally, Da Jeong curled her toes.
“I’m sorry for the trouble.”
“No, I’m fine.”
“Where should we start?”
Her attitude was so confident, as if she were the owner of this place. Da Jeong silently gathered her strength, looking at her.
“Should we start by visiting the area where the residents stay? The nursery is the closest from here.”
“Sure.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
