“You are no longer my father. You are not Yul’s grandfather either.”
Yong-hoon, who had been silent all along, turned around and spoke to Exchange’s back as if stabbing a dagger into him.
“Don’t come looking for our Sein anymore.”
In front of Exchange, whose rationality had faded into anger, Yong-hoon pressed the password on the door lock without showing any reaction.
“If you have something to say, come in and say it. Don’t make a scene in the neighborhood.”
Click. As the door opened, Exchange followed Yong-hoon inside as if chasing him to kill.
In front of the entrance, illuminated by the light hanging from the ceiling, there was a shopping bag with the name of Sunhye’s side dish store written on it.
「Happy Side Dishes.」
Whether she threw it away or made noise, regardless of rain or snow, Sunhye came to find Yong-hoon every day after her daughter left.
‘Please don’t misunderstand that I’m doing this hoping for sympathy or forgiveness. After all, my son is dead, so why would I seek sympathy? I can’t even atone for my sins through a trial. I just have to do this to endure. Since you also lost a child you raised alone after losing your wife.’
Whether he ate it or not.
There were times when Sunhye threw chicken porridge, her hands full of emotion, and even smashed the side dish container with her foot.
Still, Sunhye cleaned up the stuck meat and broken side dish container as if nothing had happened, and the next day, she brought new side dishes with a new lunchbox.
‘But, Professor Yang. What’s this, huh? Your grandson lost his mother, but my granddaughter lost her only father.’
After hearing those words, Yong-hoon impulsively went to find Hyojin, who worked at a convenience store, that evening.
The enemy who made my daughter die.
He wanted to spit on that daughter’s face.
Would it make his heart feel a little cooler to do that than losing Sein?
But when he actually faced Hyojin, who was much younger than the dead daughter, his heart weakened, and he couldn’t say anything, so he could only put the soju in front of the cash register.
‘Pathetic guy.’
‘Oh, he looks pretty half-and-half. Did you just come in? How old are you? I’m close with the store owner here. How much is your hourly wage? I’ll give you the money, so let’s have some fun together, okay?’
While waiting for the payment, revenge was forgotten, and he ended up leaving without saying anything when the man, who had been mocking him, said he didn’t know she was underage.
‘Why are you letting him go? Report it to the police.’
‘…….’
‘If he comes again next time, contact the police. I’ll be a witness.’
Without saying anything, Hyojin, who calculated the soju, followed Yong-hoon, who was leaving the store.
I thought she came to ask me to report it to the police, but she had a lunchbox in her hands.
‘Mister, please have this.’
Because it seemed like he would only drink soju on an empty stomach.
‘My father, who passed away not long ago, came to mind, so I’m giving it to you.’
Her words seemed like Sein was sending them.
‘Dad, have some food. It’s not good to just drink on an empty stomach. Don’t think bad thoughts because of me.’
Yong-hoon, who spent that night thinking about it, visited the firefighter who arrived first at the scene of the accident.
The case was closed with no prosecution because the suspect who caused the accident had already died, but he wanted to calmly reconsider how the accident happened.
As the black box of the vehicle carrying Sein was destroyed in the fire, Yong-hoon had no choice but to rely thoroughly on the CCTV and statements of witnesses at the scene.
And he heard astonishing words from the firefighter who rescued Sein.
The one who saved his daughter and the child in her womb was not him, but the substitute driver who caused the accident.
If it weren’t for that person, his daughter and the child in her womb would have already died…!
When the firefighters arrived, the underground parking lot engulfed in flames was truly a chaotic scene.
Amidst people trying to escape from the vehicle entangled at the entrance and those fearing a secondary explosion, the man who had driven Sein’s car was still trying to find a fire extinguisher in the building to rescue Sein trapped in the car.
“Wait! My baby’s mother is inside here. Please help!”
Even though people evacuating blocked the way for firefighters, the man did not give up and, in the meantime, tried to extinguish the engine room of the burning car and did not give up on Sein, who was in the back seat.
According to the rescuers, it took a long time to identify the fingerprints melted due to the hot car door when trying to determine the identity at the police.
Still, the man did not give up and eventually broke the car window with a fire extinguisher, pulling Sein out.
“If it weren’t for that person, both you and I wouldn’t have been able to say goodbye to Sein, and Yul inside the womb as well.”
“But if that person hadn’t caused the accident, Yul wouldn’t have lost his mother from the beginning.”

“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
