“Could it be… Were you a martial arts master?”
Surprised by Hayeon’s strength that lifted him, Minje raised his eyebrows.
“What did you say?”
In response to the term “martial arts master,” Hayeon, who had lost her temper, released her grip on his fist and turned toward him.
But since Minje also turned toward her, their faces became close, as if they were about to touch. Due to the very close distance, Hayeon forgot what she intended to argue about.
“Don’t make fun of me… please.”
Struggling to complete the sentence, Hayeon, who had exerted all her strength, wondered if her heart had now jumped out of her body.
Minje, feeling an indescribable and somewhat peculiar mood, massaged his jaw. He thought women were immune to such things, but apparently not.
He was well aware that his actions could leave room for someone. So, he made an effort to clarify his attitude toward the countless women he met in business.
Thanks to that, he received a lot of curses for being unlucky, but that didn’t matter at all. It was better than unnecessarily getting involved and causing a headache.
However, Hayeon always evoked a strange sense in him. Her wavering words and expressions continued to create an impulse to keep watching her. There was also a desire to test how far his composure could crumble.
This had been intensifying in the meetings disguised as tutoring every night, so Minje was treating her even more professionally.
“I didn’t make up any words.”
Minje replied bluntly, subtly leaning back. Otherwise, he might not have been able to take his eyes off her trembling eyelashes.
Coincidentally, the stretching was over. Hayeon sighed with relief, thinking it was fortunate that she could avoid an awkward situation.
“Now, since the warm-up exercises are over, shall we start the sports day with cheers? When I shout ‘Hanmaeum,’ you shout ‘Cheyukdae-hoe.’ Hanmaeum! Cheyukdae-hoe!”
Cheers and bubbles poured out from the stage. Children jumped around to catch soap bubbles, and adults clapped their hands, carried away by the atmosphere.
However, Hayeon muttered to herself with a complex feeling.
“What’s ‘Hanmaeum’? Even my heart is not under control…”
Looking at the soap bubbles shining in iridescent colors under the sunlight, Jihoo whispered to Junwon.
“I did well, right?”
“Yeah, you did great.”
Junwon narrowed his eyes at Jihoo.
Thus, the ‘Hanmaeum’ Sports Day officially began.
“Now, we have the obstacle race for the Blue Class friends. Blue Class friends, please come forward.”
It was Jihoo’s turn for the race. Voices cheering for kids participating in various games echoed from all around.
“Jihoo, fighting!”
Hearing Hayeon’s loud encouragement, Jihoo smiled brightly.
Seeing that smile, Hayeon trembled as if struck by Cupid’s arrow. Why do you become cuter day by day?
“Did you, by any chance, falsify your resume?”
Watching the shivering Hayeon, Minje, who had been observing her quietly, asked with a complicated expression.
“What? No, why?”
“Oh, I was just wondering if I had an unknown terminal illness.”
This person! After looking at Hayeon, who was shivering, Minje chuckled. Truly a mysterious woman. Not everyone would behave like that.
In the midst of such thoughts, the game quickly came to an end. Jiho barely secured the second place.
“Wow, you did great! The best!”
Hayan praised him generously while wiping the sweat off the child’s forehead.
“Jiho is back. Seems faster than me, huh?”
Junwon also smiled and offered his congratulations. Then, naturally, all eyes turned to Minje.
“…”
Minje briefly pondered what the gaze directed at him meant. He was particularly vulnerable in situations like this, where he had to say something to Jiho.
Expressing affection, giving compliments, or revealing his true feelings was something he found challenging. Like how one would feel uncomfortable with a bug crawling on their face.
Seeing him stay silent like a bee that had eaten honey, Hayan gestured with her eyes.
“You should praise him in times like this!”
Looking at her excessively blinking eyes, Minje’s face, which had naturally stiffened, softened.
“Well done. Good job.”
It was a rough and dry compliment when directed to a child, but Jiho’s face lit up with a lovely smile upon hearing Minje’s praise.
“Look at this. I received an award.”
Jiho showed the stationery he received as an award for his achievement due to his injury.
“Yeah, that’s great.”
Minje smiled and gently stroked the child’s hair. However, honestly, with his house already filled with stationery, he wondered if that was a good choice. Even he felt undoubtedly defective in some way.
Just like when gears misalign, he knew that a part of him was broken. Therefore, he always felt a sense of guilt towards Jiho in his heart. He wondered if Jiho was growing up broken like him.
At that moment, the emcee’s announcement was heard.
“This time, we will have the highlight of the sports day, the 2:3 leg race. The team that finishes first will receive a special large doll.”
As soon as the 2:3 leg race was mentioned, Junwon and Jiho’s expressions subtly changed. However, Minje, who was absorbed in serious contemplation, did not notice.
“Why is my stomach suddenly hurting so much?”
Junwon awkwardly stood up with an unnatural tone.
“I’ll go to the restroom too.”
Seeing Jiho quietly following Junwon, Hayan asked.
“Jiho, didn’t you want that teddy bear?”
To attract the children’s interest, prizes were displayed prominently. Jiho had expressed a desire for the large doll, as it felt like a symbol of victory at the sports day.
“Well, that… if my sister and dad get it for me, it’ll be fine.”
Jiho responded with a clear answer, smiling brightly.
