“You see? Because of Dad, you couldn’t even properly greet the teacher. It’s been a long time since you met.”
Dad, I hate you!
“Yul, do you really like the teacher that much?”
Gyo Hwan burst into laughter at Seung Yul’s pouting face that had become slightly chubby due to distress.
“What do you like about the teacher?”
“……?”
“Is it because she’s pretty? Because she’s kind? Because she’s honest? Because she’s smart? Because she’s cute? Because she’s lovely? Because she’s warm? Or maybe… because she’s like a mom?”
Gyo Hwan’s endless nagging seemed like it would never end, but Seung Yul curtly cut it off with one cool remark.
“I just like everything.”
Because she’s my teacher.
“Ha.”
Gyo Hwan had already realized that Seung Yul liked Bong Teacher, but as a man who liked the same woman, he was speechless.
Well, you win. My son.
“So, please don’t scold me. She’s a precious teacher to me.”
With furrowed eyebrows and a serious turn, Seung Yul’s fists were tightly clenched without him even realizing.
That night.
“Which of the following is a correct evaluation of the text?”
After finishing their work and sitting at the dining table, Hyo Jin heard a knocking sound on the door behind her as she solved a workbook.
Looking through the round glass on the door, she saw Gyo Hwan standing there.
“Father~!”
Hyo Jin quickly unlocked the latch as if no one was watching, and tightly closed the curtains on the window.
“What were you doing?”
Entering the space filled with her scent, Gyo Hwan looked around with affectionate eyes.
“I was solving the workbook that Dad helped me get last time.”
Gyo Hwan asked, looking at the workbook spread out on the table.
“Don’t you have anything you don’t know while studying?”
“Of course, I do.”
Hyo Jin sat down at the table as if she had achieved something and opened the marked workbook.
“Can I ask you some questions about the reasoning and explanations here?”
“Hold on, the chair…”
“Ah.”
He prevented Hyo Jin from getting up from the chair and sat down behind her.
Hyo Jin, whose back was wrapped in Gyo Hwan’s broad chest like a horizon, slightly parted her lips in warmth.
“What do you think?”
Hyo Jin blushed at his alluring voice, and she tightly gripped the pencil in her hand.
“Oh, why in that particular spot?”
When there’s a chair available.
“Why? I’m comfortable and it’s nice.”
His breath, carrying a gentle scent, tickled the back of Hyo Jin’s neck.
“Dad, isn’t it too narrow?”
Hoo. Feeling the heat, Hyo Jin saw a mirage in front of her, and the letters in the workbook shook on their own.
“Then, this should work.”
Hyo Jin’s toes floated up, and she was perched on his strong thigh in an instant.
“Oh, it must be heavy.”
Hyo Jin hurriedly tried to come down, but his long legs tightly wrapped around her legs, and he caressed the smooth space between her legs.
“Uh, Dad…!”
“Why are you so skinny? I should buy you lots of delicious food from now on.”
Because she had always thought of him as polite and conservative, Hyo Jin was even more unaccustomed to his sudden mischievous behavior.
“Let’s study. Where did we say?”
In fact, he seemed completely indifferent, so Hyo Jin felt somewhat uneasy and focused on the problem.
“Here. In the explanation, it says, ‘Cold weather does not directly affect the flu virus.’ But when I read the choices, I don’t understand which part contradicts the hypothesis.”
“Well. Should we read the problem again then?”
“Ahem. Which of the following deductions is correct?”
Smoothly clearing her throat, Hyo Jin concentrated on reading the passage.
“Inh…!”
As if she had been shocked by an electric current, a moist and smooth pair of lips settled on the back of Hyo Jin’s neck.
“Ah…!”
Surprised, Hyo Jin let go of the pencil in her hand and stiffened her posture.
“Did you have surgery here because of the win rate? Does it hurt?”
Ah, so that’s why.
“Oh, I’m fine.”
“You sure?”
He clicked his tongue and brushed his hair, then gently kissed the surgical scar with his soft lips.
“Ah…!”
Father, if you keep doing this while I’m studying…
“Let’s continue.”
“Ah, yes.”
His voice was so resolute that Hyo Jin regained her composure and continued reading the rest of the passage.
This time, he gently brushed the scar behind her ear with his thumb.
“Isn’t it hurting the wound?”
“It’s fine. I’ve had worse injuries than that.”
“Where else did you get hurt?”
“Ah, I’ll tell you later.”
Hyo Jin had a feeling that if she mentioned the burn on her thigh, he would immediately ask to see it with his own eyes, so she used studying as an excuse to change the subject.
“Now, shall we try to find it? Where is the evidence that ‘cold weather does not directly affect the flu virus’?”
“Ah, yes.”
Hyo Jin’s concentration was scattered, and even though she was looking at the problem with her eyes, none of the content seemed to enter her mind.
It’s just a white sheet of paper, and black marks of text.
“Have you found it?”
Unlike herself, who felt like a fool, his voice overflowed with intellectual confidence.
“You still haven’t found it?”
