“In fact, I was going to secretly come and go without your father knowing, just giving the worry doll to Seungyul. But when I saw the kids making fun of it, it made me so angry.”
So, forgetting that he was secretly watching, he intervened.
“I wanted to help Seungyul, but it seems Seungyul’s pride was hurt.”
Because everyone has a side they don’t want others to see.
“Is it because of Seungyul? Is Seungyul against it?”
Hyojin, with her mouth firmly closed, looked at the exchange, who had shown no reaction from the beginning, as if understanding.
“I’ve also thought about it during this time.”
How to handle Seungyul in the future.
“Thinking from Seungyul’s perspective, I realized that I might have been too ambitious.”
Seungyul wants me to be his mom.
“Although I want to be Seungyul’s mom because I love your father, there’s no reason for Seungyul to accept me as his mom.”
It’s not because Seungyul wants it, and it’s not our love.
There is a mom who gave birth to Seungyul risking her life.
But suddenly I say I’ll be the mom.
Misunderstood by the child who thinks I approached to get Dad’s heart.
Even if Hyojin’s intentions are good, it’s natural for the child to be confused.
“So, from now on, I won’t force Seungyul.”
Hyojin spoke as if she had come to a conclusion.
“If Seungyul doesn’t want me to be his mom, I’ll continue to love him as a teacher by his side. The important thing is not that I become Seungyul’s mom, but that Seungyul feels loved and happy.”
Seungyul’s mom was enough with the mom who gave birth to him.
“…”
The exchange, without expressing any opinion, ordered vodka from the waiter.
Because he knows well that she can’t stay by Seungyul’s side.
Even being Seungyul’s teacher is now.
“So, I hope you don’t feel any sense of responsibility toward me, Dad. I’m fine. For example, marriage.”
Clunk. The sound of ice melting in the ice bucket brought by the waiter echoed the moment his tense gaze fell on Hyojin.
To the nervous Hyojin, that sound seemed louder than thunder.
“What is that sound?”
His eyes, stained with deep darkness, seemed quite angry, so Hyojin was even more flustered.
“Oh, I mean… I’m worried that you might feel burdened because of me.”
Daring to bring up the word marriage itself seemed to have made him very angry.
“So… Are you suggesting we break up?”
“What?”
As soon as the words came out of her mouth that it’s okay not to marry first, the exchange felt utterly defeated, wondering why he had been suffering all this time.
Was it that easy for you? To say something like this to me?
“No, it’s not like that. What’s important to me is that I like your father.”
“…?”
“So, what I mean is, just being with your father like this is enough for me. We don’t have to get married if we don’t want to…”
Having quickly emptied the vodka brought by the waiter, the exchange spoke.
“Was this about you wanting to work at the company?”
He also came today intending to say that this would be the last day he would meet her.
The exchange was babbling nonsense as if he had been notified of a breakup.
After suggesting that we should take a break and think about it, you’re saying you won’t marry me?
While seeing other men recommended by Grandma and going to see Suni?
“Oh, that’s not what I meant at that time.”
Unable to understand his thoughts, Hyojin, with her thumb stroking an invisible wine glass, struggled to open her lips.
“…Remember when Dad accidentally got into huge debt?”
“…?”
“I wanted to talk about that. When I was in my third year of high school, Dad had a traffic accident and passed away.”
An unhappy story she didn’t want to reveal to him due to pride.
“Dad couldn’t even take a break on holidays and went to work part-time. He did it to earn my academy fees.”
Because I kept getting low grades.
‘Hyojin, if your dad signs a contract this time, he’ll send you to the academy, so don’t be too sad.’
Who would have thought that promise would become a burden?
“As an insurance salesperson, his income wasn’t stable. So after work, he delivered fresh groceries early in the morning. That day, he went on a substitute driving job during the day. It seems like a customer he had agreed to contract with canceled, and he was in a hurry because he might not keep the promise with me.”
“…”
The exchange drank the vodka without saying a word, but the alcohol passing through his esophagus did not dilute the agony he felt at all.
That day, if your father hadn’t driven my wife’s car, Seungyul wouldn’t have lost his mother.
“When I asked the police officer investigating Dad, Dad’s car stopped by a department store and collided with a steep downhill wall in the underground parking lot.”
The accident vehicle was completely burnt, and both the perpetrator and the victim died. The police, fire department, and the National Forensic Service concluded that the cause of the accident was the driver’s front negligence.
“People who suffered damage from the accident came to the funeral home and demanded compensation because of Dad’s accident.”

really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
