Even when Breadmi said the teacher loves Dad, I believed her words…!
“Since when?”
When did they start loving each other?
“Since the teacher’s grandmother had surgery. Remember when you lent Dad a worry doll?”
Damn it, I didn’t even know. I lied because I didn’t want to show it, but that person was Dad?
Seungyul, who had looked forward to confessing and boasting about not having a boyfriend, felt like he had become a fool.
“Was it fun? Making a fool of me when I didn’t know anything?”
“Baby. What are you talking about?”
“Don’t call me ‘baby.’ Are you ignoring me because I’m young?”
When I asked you to wait until I became an adult, you said you’d consider it.
From the beginning, there was never any intention to wait.
Even when we made a promise for her to become a mom first, didn’t we agree on a contract with Dad without changing our minds?
I should have realized from then on that she liked Dad more than me.
Hyojin, thinking she was different from other adults, felt an even greater sense of betrayal from Seungyul.
“Even though you now say you like the teacher more than me, as time passes, you’ll end up liking your peers more than an adult like the teacher.”
“So that’s why you brought Roy? Saying Dad invited me.”
A liar. Seungyul was angry, and his lower eyelashes trembled.
“But can’t you give Seungyul one chance with the teacher?”
Now she wants to be a real mom, not just pretend to be.
“If only next year came quickly, I wouldn’t have regretted it?”
It’s just a temporary satisfaction for her, enjoying being an adult woman due to Mom’s absence during her growth period.
“How does the teacher know that?”
During the growth period, it’s merely a temporary substitute satisfaction for oneself, feeling like an adult woman due to Mom’s absence.
“How does the teacher know that?”
“The teacher also, when she was young, always said she wanted to marry Dad. But now, growing up, she ended up falling in love with Baby’s dad.”
Tch, do you want to say that you love Dad in front of me?
“Do you have confidence?”
Confidence to become my mom.
“I know more than anyone that you were always a troublemaker, except when it comes to Dad. People accept you because I’m Choi Kyu-hwan’s son,” said the teacher, emphasizing.
“That’s when you didn’t know much about me.”
Hyojin blushed and shrugged her shoulders, embarrassed.
“I regret it too. I spoke without knowing much about you at that time. Now, you are the most adorable person I know, and the more I see you, the more beautiful you become.”
Well, then what? If it’s Dad that you love, not me.
“Okay. Do as you wish.”
“Huh?”
“If you’re confident.”
“……?”
“So, become my mom once.”
Seungyul, whose trust was betrayed, decided that he would rather hate the teacher.
There wouldn’t be anger and pain from betrayal.
He chose the path of receiving hatred instead of love from the teacher.
Now it might be the beginning, but soon the teacher would probably get tired of him.
Like many teachers who transferred me—Hanna, Aunt Isabel, giving up on me.
Adults always did that.
“Thank you very much. I’ll do my best to be a good mom for Seungyul, even though I lack a lot.”
Seungyul almost felt his heart melting when he saw the teacher’s pleased expression, revealing her neat teeth.
Like a fool. The teacher isn’t doing this because she likes me; she just wants to look good because she wants to marry Dad.
On that night.
Yong-hoon’s old midsize sedan approached and stopped in front of the old house surrounded by a low wall.
When the headlights turned off, a heavy silence settled in the dark surroundings like syrup.
“Where have you been, and now you come?”
Turning off the ignition, Yong-hoon, who got out of the car, lowered his head at the muffled voice coming from the front gate.
“What on earth are you doing here? You should have contacted me in advance if you were coming.”
He could have stepped on the exchange like a thug, spreading two legs in front of the gate.
“Did you come alone?”
There was no sign of the team leader, who usually followed like a shadow, let alone the car.
“Why are you like this?”
Yong-hoon’s Adam’s apple trembled at the cold question flying down endlessly.
“What…?”
As the exchange stood up in the darkness, the sensor light attached to the ceiling turned on, revealing the sharp face.
“Why the hell are you like this!”
The voice roaring like a beast made the neighborhood dogs bark loudly.
“…Is it about Bong Sunsaeng?”
Ha, even though I begged and begged, I kept telling myself that I must be wrong. Dad would never do such a thing.
“You really knew everything, huh?”
Even while waiting, I kept praying that I was wrong, that Dad wouldn’t do such a thing.
“You must be misunderstanding even the things I know. I begged and begged, saying Dad couldn’t do that.”
“It was you who killed Se-in. Not Bong Sunsaeng’s father.”
“……!”
“You’re the one who killed Sein. It wasn’t Bong Sunsaeng’s father.”
“……!”
Still, there must be a reason. Exchange, who believed that Dad wouldn’t do such a thing without any thought, felt as if the last remaining strand of rationality had been severed.
“How can you say such cruel words…!”
Is this what it feels like to have your heart cruelly trampled upon?
“Did I not tell you to break up with our Sein? Even though you have a fiancée chosen by the family, you took my daughter away and made her die, and now you come and blame someone?”
“Oh, so that’s why you did this? To get revenge on me.”
Even though I told you to break up, you didn’t listen and chased her until she died.
“Why are you so cruel? Were you always this terrifying?”
I relied on Yong-hoon more than anyone else, instead of my father and grandfather who passed away early.
“No matter how much you hate me, it’s like that. Don’t you think about Yul at all?”
With a knife in my heart, Yong-hoon’s eyes were indifferent, making resentment well up.
“If Yul finds out about this later, how much do you think he’ll be hurt?”
She’s a teacher I like more than my dad.
Thinking of that shock, tears of blood flowed from Exchange’s eyes.
“My father couldn’t be like this. He couldn’t do this to me and Seungyul!”
“Don’t resent me too much.”
“…….!”
“If you lost Sein, and if you had raised Yul well, I wouldn’t have introduced Bong Sunsaeng.”
“Ha, all because of me?”
Even Sein’s death. Even introducing Bong Sunsaeng.
Is it possible that every word I say could be cruel?
Feeling like my heart was being torn apart, Exchange closed his eyes.
“It was always a question. Why did you introduce Bong Sunsaeng to me?”
Especially since I started liking her.
“She introduced me, trusting me, but what if she thinks I forgot about Sein because of Bong Sunsaeng?”
How much did I try to console myself by convincing myself? I don’t want to be distant from Dad. I don’t want to disappoint him.
“But now I understand.”
Why she introduced Bong Sunsaeng to me.
Wiping away tears with her hands, Exchange, with bloodshot eyes, faced Yong-hoon.
“My father already knew.”
It wasn’t because he trusted me.
It was because I could never have a relationship with Bong Sunsaeng.
So, Dad probably introduced me to a woman who didn’t even get married so easily.
Even though Mother Jihyeon was nervous that she might match her son’s eyes.
How ridiculous it must have been?
He suffered as if he couldn’t breathe when Sein died. Now he lives shamelessly, even falls in love with another woman, and happily gets married.
“Did you enjoy it? Was it fun? Are you satisfied now?”
The feeling of watching me fall into the abyss.
“If you think so, I have nothing more to say.”
Suppressing the urge to twist Yong-hoon’s neck right away, Exchange clenched his fist until it broke in the cold.
“You are no longer my father. You are not Yul’s grandfather either.”

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.

She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
