“Do you want another bottle?”
Feeling good with the relaxed music and fragrant wine, Hyo Jin brushed Gyo Hwan’s hand, who was opening the new bottle brought by the manager, with a clearheaded nod.
She had noticed this when dining with Kang Hanna last time, but despite his cold and indifferent exterior, he always had a manner of putting others first.
“But you can’t get drunk. It can’t interfere with Seung Yool’s lessons.”
“Don’t worry. I can handle my liquor. My father used to say that a man should drink until he’s drunk to know what kind of person he is.”
Of course, due to her father passing away early, she hadn’t directly learned to drink.
Hyo Jin was confident that she had a strong enough tolerance to not be outdone by most men.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you had so much work.”
She criticized him for always working, even when he was home, without knowing this.
“Isn’t that the same for you, Teacher Bong?”
Considering he was awake until that hour.
“Oh, I…”
Hyo Jin, who was about to say that she had been awake for personal studies, soon realized her duty as a home tutor and moved on to the topic of Seung Yool.
“Now that Seung Yool understands a little bit about his father’s heart, I think he won’t have to overdo it.”
“Is that so?”
Gyo Hwan, who was not yet certain, let out a selfdeprecating laugh.
“But why were you so angry that day?”
You, who care about Seung Yool like this.
“Though it might be an excuse, that day was Yool’s mother’s birthday.”
Ah, Hyo Jin stared blankly at the candlelight burning on the table, forgetting what she was about to say.
“The anniversary ended up being commemorated as a birthday instead, as Yool’s birthday.”
“……So that’s how it was. And I had no idea.”
Referring to him as a failure of a father.
With the wine, Hyo Jin swallowed her words, and then she opened her mouth as if trying to remedy the awkward atmosphere.
“Father. Give that back to me.”
“What?”
“My clothes. Sell them back to me.”
Only then did Gyo Hwan, seeming to understand, let out a low laugh.
“Take them back. After all, they’re not clothes I bought because I needed them. I bought them to catch Teacher Bong.”
“Even so, I can’t. Thanks to you, I also managed to pay my deposit. I’ll pay you back in installments. Just three months.”
“But you got it for free from our mother.”
“Huh? That wasn’t for free.”
Hyo Jin’s eyes, pretending to be serious, melted away with the alcohol. The liquor she usually drank to forget the bitterness of life made her feel sweet, almost giggly.
“That was exchanged for my life.”
Gyo Hwan’s gaze became more unreadable.
“Seung Yool dropped me into that swimming pool, and I almost died.”
“Yool did?”
“Yes. I, who can’t even swim, into a dive pool!”
Hyo Jin laughed off the already past incident, but Gyo Hwan couldn’t.
“Ha, this guy. What should I do? I’m really sorry. You didn’t get hurt, did you?”
“It’s fine. Seung Yool jumped in to save me right away. I was actually surprised. No matter how well he swims, he’s still much smaller in weight and height compared to me. What would we have done if something happened to Seung Yool?”
“Phew. If I had known at the time, I’m sure you would’ve given me a good thrashing.”
No matter how uninjured she was, still. How could he put someone’s life in such danger?
“That’s why it was a gift from the mistress. She told me not to tell you.”
Looking at Hyo Jin, who was smiling brightly with her eyes halfclosed, Gyo Hwan suddenly recalled the moment when he first encountered her in his wife’s room.
“Then, on the first day you came to our house too……!”
“Ah……”
As Gyo Hwan’s eyes met with Hyo Jin’s, it felt like a lightning bolt struck his brain.
“Choi Seung Yool, this little rascal.”
Thinking about the moment he had been driving Hyo Jin into a corner without knowing.
“Woah, woah. Father.”
Hyo Jin placed the cup down as if calming him down.
“Father. If you lose your composure here, all the effort until now will go to waste. Deep breaths and calm down, calm down.”
Huu Huu
Gyo Hwan, who wasn’t pregnant,
followed Hyo Jin and practiced the Lamaze breathing technique deeply through his nose, then regained his composure and let out a sigh.
“Phew. I’m really sorry. And thank you.”
“……?”
“If it weren’t for Teacher Bong, I’d still be brandishing a stick and scolding without knowing anything about the actual child.”
“What are you talking about. Actually, I also entered Sanglimwon because of money.”
Although it was packaged as a good experience in the interview.
“You’ve seen how I live. Rolling around because of the deposit.”
As if she was fed up, Hyo Jin lowered her head and drained the wine in her glass in one go.
“Where on earth did your younger brother invest that money?”
“I don’t know. He said it was artificial intelligence? He said it was a sure thing this time. Sounds like catching clouds.”
Investing in someone else’s company. He should be thankful if his life doesn’t go bankrupt.

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.
