“No. Please tell me now. We don’t know what will happen to Dad in the future, and I need to know. I’m Dad’s son, too.”
Meeting the eyes of the child, Hyojin felt a sting in her chest and bit her lip.
She hadn’t expected to have this conversation in such a situation.
“In fact, your teacher’s father passed away on the same day as Seungyul’s mom, in a car accident while driving your teacher’s mother’s car.”
“……!”
Seungyul finally understood.
Why his grandmother had said such things.
Why his father had suddenly separated from his mother.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t tell you honestly until now. Your teacher’s father and Seungyul’s mother both passed away on the same day. Your mother passed away due to an accident caused by your teacher’s father, while driving.”
“……”
Seungyul realized it now.
How hard it must have been for him during this time.
Because of him, Mom had gone to heaven.
Hyojin wanted to relieve the heavy burden in the child’s heart now.
“Sorry. I couldn’t be honest until now.”
Now, let the heavy burden in your heart go to the teacher.
“If Seungyul is okay with it, I want to apologize to Seungyul in place of the teacher’s father.”
Kneeling in front of Seungyul, who was sitting on a chair, Hyojin wanted to sincerely apologize.
“Seungyul, I’m really sorry. Will you accept the teacher’s apology?”
Seungyul, who seemed confused, clenched and unclenched his fist, unable to say anything. Slowly turning his head, he opened his lips.
“So, it was a mistake?”
At the unexpected words, Hyojin’s eyes widened significantly.
“You didn’t cause the accident on purpose, did you?”
Hyojin hadn’t anticipated Seungyul saying something like this, but she realized that this was the most comforting thing she could hear.
“Yeah. The teacher believes in that.”
Our dad didn’t cause the accident on purpose. It was a mistake.
Swallowing the tears welling up in her throat, Hyojin nodded firmly.
“But I’m still really sorry.”
How could the teacher do that? She thought she would resent him.
The child forgave the mistake more easily than she had thought.
It seemed that only the timid adults were terrified.
Descending from the chair, Seungyul, who had embraced Hyojin tightly, gently patted her back with tearful shoulders.
“Teacher, I’ll go to Dad then.”
The child, who had resented his dad without knowing the truth, had something to say to his dad before it was too late.
“Dad, it’s Yul.”
In response to the child’s voice entering the intensive care unit, Exchange’s chest, breathing with a ventilator, rose and fell.
“When Dad came to school with the teacher, there was a time when parents were supposed to write letters.”
When the child hesitated because his feelings weren’t coming out, Dad, who said there was no rule saying only the child should write a letter, wrote a letter to me instead.
“Did Dad say that back then? If I could turn back time, I would like to go back to when I first met you.”
The child wanted to reply to the letter his dad sent, even if it was late.
“If I could turn back time, I want to apologize to Dad and spend more time with him, and tell him that I love him more.”
If that happened, Dad wouldn’t have collapsed in such pain.
“I said I hated Dad and wouldn’t forgive him, but now I know.”
That feeling of hatred and resentment also came from love.
“Dad feels the same way, right?”
When he scolded me, he thought I hated him because Mom died because of me, but now he knows. That too was part of love.
“Dad, you’re alive now, right?”
Because it seemed like closing his eyes now would be the last sight of Dad, Seungyul’s tears kept obstructing his view.
“No matter how painful it is, you must never forget. I’m here with Dad.”
You must not go alone, leaving me behind.
“Just like Dad said he would wait for me, now I will wait for Dad.”
Until Dad wakes up.
“So please come back.”
After closing his eyes tightly and then opening them, unexpressed confessions flowed from Seungyul’s lips.
“Dad, I love you.”

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
