“You might be a competent and smart lawyer, but when it comes to your son Seung Yul, you know nothing.”
Why Seung Yul acted the way he did. What he liked.
“You are a dad who knows nothing about his son!”
“Team Leader Nam. Shall I take Seung Yul and go in first?”
After hanging up the phone, Gyo Hwan watched from afar as Seung Yul got in the car with Team Leader Nam and left the school.
Having heard Hyo Jin’s words that Seung Yul wanted to be a good boy for his deceased mother, he didn’t know how to face the child.
Gyo Hwan, who returned to Sangrimwon by taxi late, stepped on the wooden stairs where his wife’s room was.
The space, which was filled with warm heat, was filled with chilly silence.
‘Welcome home.’
The wife who used to welcome him with a bright smile when he opened the door was no longer here.
When would he become accustomed to the reality without her?
Beneath the large window where the sunlight came in, Gyo Hwan lowered his eyelashes and let out a deep sigh.
‘I’m going crazy, Se In. Because of our son.’
In the silence where his wife’s answer couldn’t possibly be heard, Gyo Hwan muttered to himself.
‘I beat him until the cane broke because he touched the money you left behind, but he did it for you. He wanted to be a good boy that his mom would like. That’s why our Yul did that.’
It was the money you had saved without spending a penny from the allowance adults gave you when you were pregnant to buy something delicious. You were going to give it to Yul when he was born.
Why did it happen? After all, Yul couldn’t possibly know such a story.
His eyelids, closed under the sunlight, trembled subtly.
Se In, am I doing something wrong to our child?
‘I was talking with mom.’
The child, who had fallen asleep sneakily in the wardrobe, said he fell asleep on his mother’s lap. All the child had actually rested his cheek against and fell asleep on was a mom’s paintstained apron.
The child kept insisting that it was his mom.
Even though it’s a mother he’s never met since he was born.
‘But, Se In. What drives me even crazier is this. Our son has one more woman he calls mom, not just you.’
The moment she first came to our house, she wore your clothes in your room, startling me as if you were alive and had returned.
A woman who doesn’t have a child and hasn’t married keeps pretending to be Yul’s mom in front of me.
‘You might be a competent and smart lawyer, but when it comes to your son Seung Yul, you know nothing. You are a dad who knows nothing about his son!’
But I am Yul’s father.
She keeps interfering with me and nagging at me.
‘Seung Yul doesn’t need any teaching. You might not know, but……!’
I thought Yul didn’t understand my feelings. But she says I don’t understand Yul’s feelings.
Who does she think she is? She isn’t even Yul’s mom.
But what drives me the most insane is this. Every word she says is absolutely correct. Annoyingly so.
That night.
Around the steaming fish cake bar, there was a bustling crowd of salaried workers who had finished work and were enjoying a draft beer.
“Mr. Choi.”
“Father.”
Yong Hoon, who had placed an old leather bag on the chair, was about to rise from his seat, but Gyo Hwan, whose shoulder he had gently stroked with his palm, sat him back down.
“Stay seated. Have you been waiting long?”
“Not at all. I figured it would take some time for you to arrive, so I started with a drink.”
Yong Hoon, having ordered the same beer from the server, removed his jacket and sat in the seat beside him.
“Feeling better?”
“Huh?”
“I heard you nearly killed that boy Seung Yul.”
“Did our mother call you?”
“Did Teacher Bong say that?”
“……!”
“I agreed to be his mother for a day thinking it would be a good thing, but ended up being chased away. If I knew it would cost 20 million won, I definitely would have discouraged it.”
It seemed he had confessed in advance, fearing that Yong Hoon might call to complain.
“But what’s the point of hitting a child? It’s not as if he squandered it on entertainment, it was a donation for children with developmental disabilities. Isn’t that something we should be praising? After all, it’s the money that Se In intended to give to Yul.”
Instead of answering, Gyo Hwan smirked and asked,
“What’s your relationship with Teacher Bong?”
“Ah, well, about that…”
Yong Hoon, who had been mixing wasabi into the soy sauce container brought by the server, put down his chopsticks and gave an awkward smile.
“It was not long after I had lost Se In.”
“……?”
Eight years ago, Gyo Hwan had lost his spouse, but he had lost his only child.
After the funeral, he let go of everything.
He couldn’t eat, nor could he sleep.
He wasn’t able to get his hair cut or shave, and his only outing was to the convenience store for soju once night fell.
‘Mister. Have this.’
One night, as he was leaving after the usual payment.
A schoolgirl in uniform scurried after him and handed him a lunch box.
‘I had set this aside to eat, but I’m giving it to you with my authority as an employee. It seemed like you were only drinking.’
Yong Hoon had declined, but the schoolgirl insisted, saying that she thought of her father who had passed away recently, and finally gave him a bag with a lunch box in it.
“Hearing that story, it felt like it was sent by Se In. Worried about the father left alone.”
‘Dad, get rid of your upset stomach. Don’t just drink, eat some food.’
Moreover, since that friend had also lost her father around the same time, it didn’t seem like a coincidence.
“So I asked her age, and she said she was in her last year of high school.”
A student who should be in the middle of preparing for the college entrance exam.
“I asked her if she wasn’t going to college, and she said she doesn’t have the tuition and is working parttime at a convenience store.”
“…….”
“And when I said she could take a student loan, she told me she became a bad credit risk because her father had passed away and left a debt, so she couldn’t take a loan.”
“So you knew her that well? I thought you had asked a professor you knew to introduce her.”
Seung Yul called this woman his mother, and the father was talking about how she was like Se In.
“So she owes a lot to your father?”
The father is certainly not a person who would sit quietly after hearing such a story.
“It’s not me, it’s that friend who owes me.”
“…….”
“You have Yul, but what joy could I have? Having sent Se In’s mother first. And having sent my only remaining daughter away in vain. If it weren’t for that friend, I might have followed Se In too.”
Seeing Hyo Jin, who had become a bad credit risk at an age when she hadn’t even started her life in society because of the debt left by her father, his determination to live surged with the thought that he could help in some way.
“If she had known a little about the law, she wouldn’t have had to bear such excessive debt, but she said she would take on her father’s debt in case she became a burden to the grandmother who raised her instead of her mother.”
So, as he went around here and there to restore Hyo Jin’s credit, his life was gradually returning to normal before he lost his daughter.
Meeting people meant washing his face, getting a haircut, shaving, eating because he was hungry, and sleeping.
“Mr. Choi. I thought that if anyone, Teacher Bong would understand Seung Yul’s feelings. That friend also lost her mother at an early age and was raised by her grandmother.”
“…….”
“Doesn’t Seung Yul already have as many as eleven specialist teachers teaching him?”
“…….”
“So, shouldn’t there be at least one teacher who understands Seung Yul’s feelings…?”
“…….”
Hyo Jin’s words were echoing in Gyo Hwan’s ears, as he was drinking beer with his mouth tightly shut.
‘I didn’t pander to Seung Yul. I wanted to understand his feelings. It wasn’t appeasement, it was understanding!’
