The modern exposed concrete wall, dark brown bookshelves, and sofa were decorated in a way that made her feel like she was in a cafe.
Wow, if you live in a house like this, you wouldn’t want to leave forever. Hayeon thought while looking around the interior.
“Is there… no one here?”
Hayeon asked cautiously. Ji-hu, who sighed unexpectedly like an adult, said,
“Dad said he would come… Let’s just have fun between us for now.”
Seeing the anticipation crumbling on the child’s face, Hayeon intentionally made a loud noise and agreed,
“Yeah, let’s have fun.”
Following Ji-hu’s guidance, she explored the frames and ceramics displayed on the first floor. Even to Hayeon, who knew nothing about art, the artworks displayed in the house seemed tremendously expensive.
‘What kind of household is this…’
Unable to ask the child directly, Hayeon just rolled her eyes in various directions.
“There are even cooler things on the second floor.”
As Ji-hu climbed the stairs, Hayeon followed suit. The sunlight pouring through the large glass connecting the first and second floors sparkled even more as they ascended the stairs.
“My room is on the second floor. Do you want to see my room too?”
Seeing the excited child with a raised voice, Hayeon cautiously asked, “You sleep with your dad on the second floor?”
“No, Dad’s room is on the first floor. The aunt who used to take care of me used the room next to mine, but she quit now. Still, Ji-hu is fine. I’m all grown up.”
He was trying to speak confidently, but was it really okay? Living in a wealthy house like this, what are they doing? Leaving a child like this! Hayeon suddenly felt her anger rising. At six years old, a child still needs the touch of their parents. However, the child seemed to handle everything alone, as if they were an adult.
“If you go this way, my room will be there.”
It happened when they turned the corner of the stairs and the corridor.
“Huh?”
Hayeon suddenly stopped walking. It was because of a large portrait of a man that filled one side of the wall.
Even in a realistic black and white drawing, the man in the artwork was so intricately detailed that he seemed to take your breath away just by looking at it.
Thick eyebrows, a nose that rose robustly like a veil, sensual lips, above all, sharp eyes that seemed to penetrate a person’s inner thoughts…
And the well-defined muscles revealed through the unbuttoned shirt presented a vivid and captivating figure, as if Michelangelo’s David had come to life.
However, the reason Hayeon was startled and stopped walking was not just because the man in the painting looked handsome. It was because of an indescribable and strange premonition that shook her whole body.
‘No way, seeing him here.’
She thought it was truly bizarre and smirked.
“Our dad is handsome, right?”
Looking at Hayeon who was absorbed in the painting, Ji-hu said, “Huh? Your dad?”
She should have stopped talking there. So that no one would notice that he was her favorite.
“Oh! Ugh! G-Gallery Director Kang, your, your dad?”
“Huh? Does our dad know you?”
He would know. There are several scrapbooks about him in my room.
Kang Min-je, the director of the Liam Art Museum and a big player in the Korean art scene with several galleries. He was famous for discovering unknown artists and inviting them to art fairs. Later, the artist he discovered was invited to the ‘Artist of the Year Exhibition’ hosted by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, leading to recognition and fame.
The Midas touch of the art world, a millionaire painter, a walking David… There were countless phrases used to describe him. As much as that, he was a prominent figure in the art world.
“What, how did this…?”
It was when Hayeon pointed to the portrait, trembling.
“Stop gossiping about other people’s faces.”
At the deep voice coming from somewhere, Hayeon sniffed and took a breath.
“Dad!”
As if confirming the owner of the voice, Ji-hu greeted him cheerfully.
“Where’s the lady? Are you doing this alone?”
“The lady is busy preparing lunch. And I’m not alone. I told you about my sister.”
Damn, Hayeon cursed inwardly. The word ‘sister’ from Ji-hu’s mouth made her face flush with irritation.
Watching Hayeon silently grind her lips, Min-je, who was observing, grinned and extended his hand for a handshake.
“Yes, Miss Sister. Nice to meet you.”
Clearly, he was teasing her. Damn, but still, it’s cool!
Holding back her lips without making a sound, Hayeon glanced at the hand he offered. This is a handshake. It’s just a greeting. After mumbling a few times as if hypnotizing herself, Hayeon slightly held his fingertips and greeted him.
“Hello. I’m Jang Hayeon.”
Deliberately putting strength into her name when greeting, Min-je’s lip corners slightly went up.
Someone she had wished to see in person just once. Hayeon fell for Min-je when she first saw him in a magazine interview. She collected all the articles featuring him and attended almost all his exhibitions.
While her heart was pounding, her mind also turned cold. He was Ji-hu’s dad…
“Our Ji-hu brags a lot.”
Looking at Ji-hu as if to confirm the situation, he glanced alternately between Ji-hu and her.
“Oh, did he? It’s fortunate that he had something to brag about.”
As much as she wanted to bash her lips, Hayeon just smiled as if drawing it.
Though she forced a smile, her lips trembled sweetly. However, in this situation, there was nothing she could do other than to smile.
“Well, since it’s lunchtime, let’s have a meal first.”
“What? Lunch?”
Eating with him face to face in her current state would undoubtedly lead to embarrassment.
“Since I had breakfast late, I’m fine.”
When Hayeon clapped her hands, Ji-hu looked up at her, saying, “Is your stomach growling, Noona?”
“Did it? Damn, why is my belly button clock so accurate…”
“Our guest at home has never been sent back hungry.”
After grumbling, he raised his eyebrows and walked down the stairs first.
Watching his back, Hayeon wanted to pinch her cheeks. Oh, it’s real!
“If you need anything, please let me know.”
After greeting, the impressive housemaid showed her to a seat.
Wow, what’s all this? Hayeon widened her eyes and looked at the food arranged on the dining table.
There were so many dishes laid out as if it were a feast, it couldn’t be captured in one glance.
“Jihu specially requested these dishes.”
Minje explained, observing her expression.
This is the extent of your existence for me. Hayeon, feeling moved for no reason, almost hugged Jihu but stopped herself. It was because she was suddenly conscious of Minje’s gaze.
“Thanks, Jihu. I’ll enjoy it.”
As she spoke in the kindest tone possible, Jihu’s expression became momentarily strange.
I shouldn’t have used this tone so abruptly. She regretted it briefly, but Hayeon, seizing the opportunity, decided to eat and leave.
“Well, this lady is really good at cooking.”
Everything she picked up with chopsticks seemed so delicious that her eyes widened. It was when Hayeon was focused on eating.
“Dad, you mentioned last time. Choose what you want for a birthday present.”
Seeing the child’s somewhat desperate expression, Minje raised one eyebrow.
“That’s right.”
“So, what I’m saying is, for a birthday present, I want Noona to become our mom.”
“!”
Coughing, Hayeon looked at Jihu with a choked expression.
Jihu, what on earth is this nonsense?
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
