“When you go to England, you’ll find one soon, so don’t worry.”
“Then, this.”
In front of the expressionless exchange, Hyojin took out a yellow envelope from her pocket and handed it to him.
In the palm-sized envelope was a pocket-sized spring notebook.
“…What is this?”
“Give it to him when you find a tutor for Seungyul. Use it as a reference.”
On the cover with ‘Boss Baby User Manual’ written in round handwriting, Seungyul’s face was attached.
“It would be good to meet and hand it over in person. I made it to help the new teacher get along with Seungyul. It might be difficult for Seungyul to adapt to a new teacher.”
Seungyul’s height and weight, date of birth, blood type, nutritional status, likes and dislikes.
How to deal when annoyed and feeling bad.
Everything about Seungyul, meticulously noted down during trials and errors, was contained in the notebook.
“When he feels good, he hops around like a bunny, and he jumps around like a rabbit. He prefers expressing himself through actions rather than words. Don’t point out that he’s restless! He’s not like that because he’s fidgety, so please don’t mention it. If you try to teach or force him, it will not work! Sympathize. Ask gently if he wants to try. Ask as if suggesting.”
“Acting like treating a child, or especially comparing him to his dad, makes him very uncomfortable. He might explode and resort to violence. Treat him as an independent individual separate from his dad. Never compare! Don’t even say he looks like his dad.”
“Since he doesn’t have allergies, please be careful as he doesn’t eat fish and chicken due to trauma.”
The notebook contained information about Seungyul that even his father didn’t know.
Habits and personalities that are not visible unless you really care about Seungyul.
“Thank you. I haven’t prepared anything for the teacher who has worked hard so far.”
The exchange felt sorry as he looked down at the notebook and Hyojin.
“I’m thankful too.”
“…”
“For not telling Seungyul the truth and keeping him as a good teacher until the end.”
“…”
Hyojin, rubbing her slightly runny nose, smiled even more brightly.
“If I hadn’t separated from Dad, there were so many things I wanted to do with Seungyul, and not being able to do those things is what I regret the most.”
“…….”
“When spring comes, we could make kimbap together, go on picnics, and camping. I thought I would be by Seungyul’s side until I become a grandmother.”
If there’s a kid at school teasing about not having a mom, I would chase them and make their nose flat.
I wanted to get married, and when Seungyul grew up a bit, I wanted to have a beautiful baby with Dad.
Is that child a son or a daughter? Among Dad, me, and Seungyul, who would they like the most?
Despite the determination to show a bright appearance until the end, tears were now streaming down her eyes, which had become warm.
“Even if the biological mom who shared blood is bad, I wanted to be a real support. Always supporting Seungyul until the end.”
Hyojin quickly wiped away the flowing tears with her hand and smiled bravely.
As tears flowed again from her twisted eyes, Exchange, feeling sorry, cautiously reached out and wiped away the moisture from her eyes.
“Don’t cry.”
If only he could pull her close right away and comfort the wet eyelashes with his lips.
But Exchange, who couldn’t do that, gently stroked the warm eyes with his fingertips, biting his teeth hard enough to break.
“It’s the first time for me, Dad.”
In his affectionate touch, Hyojin burst into louder tears.
“Every moment spent with Dad was the first for me.”
Since today might be the last day to have such a conversation.
Hyojin, who had lied as if she had experience, wanted to confess honestly without leaving anything behind.
“I don’t regret loving Dad. I will cherish it without forgetting until I die.”
Even if Dad meets another woman, or if Seungyul forgets someone like me because he likes a peer girlfriend.
“But I will only think about Dad and Seungyul and live.”
Until I die, like a stone monument. Without meeting another man.
“I’m sorry. Because Dad made Yuri’s mom die.”
If she could, she wanted to exchange her life to apologize.
“I hope you don’t think I’m sorry to you and Seungyul.”
Exchange, whose eyes became warm, spoke firmly, pressing his teeth against the tear-streaked face.
Since when did you start crying?
When we first met, you were like a bright and warm spring sunshine, brightening everything around you.
Because the person who took away that warmth was eventually myself.
“Now forget all the painful and difficult things.”
As if I didn’t know anything before meeting me.
“How can I forget?”
Hyojin lifted her gaze, diluted with tears, to look at Exchange.
“In those memories, there are Dad and Seungyul whom I love.”
How can I forget?
“Then I’ll forget too.”
With a cold tone, Exchange, who was indifferent, didn’t look at Hyojin’s face blurred with tears and stared down at the cold watch on his wrist.
“I should probably go see Seungyul now.”
