After taking a shower, Seo Rin looked at herself in the mirror.
Her red, swollen eyes from crying so much made her appearance look very unfamiliar.
When was the last time she cried like this? She couldn’t remember. Having experienced so much death at a young age, she had become strong and didn’t shed tears easily.
But today, it seemed like she had cried her heart out in Tae Joon’s arms.
As a result, there was a strange woman in the mirror.
“Maybe I should do an ice pack or something.”
Muttering to herself, she left the bathroom and went to the bedroom. Tae Joon, who had already showered and come out, was lying diagonally on the bed, still on a phone call.
“Alright. Schedule the appointment as soon as possible. Yep.”
As she got into bed, he ended the call.
“Shin Secretary.”
Upon hearing the words “Shin Secretary” from the caller, Seo Rin’s mind raced. At this late hour, especially on a weekend, what business could Shin Secretary have with him?
It was unlikely to be work-related. Therefore, she could easily guess the nature of the matter.
“Is it about your mother?”
It was about his deceased mother, just as she had anticipated.
“Yeah. I asked Shin Secretary to see if they can meet with the names that came up in the police report directly. They said they were able to easily reach one of them.”
“Who?”
“Ms. Park Gil Ja.”
Seo Rin furrowed her brow. Most of the people mentioned in the report were likely individuals who had worked at her house alongside Ok Soon.
However, Seo Rin had been very young at the time, and she had referred to people by their titles rather than their names, so the name Park Gil Ja didn’t ring a bell.
“I don’t know who that is.”
“I heard she used to cook at your house before.”
“Oh, right. We had two cooks back then. So, she must be one of them.”
“Perhaps.”
“By any chance, has there been no contact with a lady with the last name ‘Han’ among them?”
“Ms. Han?”
“Sorry, I don’t know her full name. But among the people who worked at our house, there was someone with the last name ‘Han’ who was very close to my mother. It just suddenly came to mind.”
“Han… Ah, Han. I remember there was someone named Han Ji Sun. But it seems I haven’t been able to reach that person.”
“Oh, really? Well… should I look into it? After all, they were people who worked at our house.”
“No, don’t do that. I know it’s one of the most painful memories for you. I don’t want to bring it back.”
Tae Joon spoke firmly. He was determined to do whatever it took to prevent Seo Rin from being drawn back into her past.
It wasn’t difficult to guess that her memories of his mother were also a part of her nightmares.
“I can look into it. Questioning witnesses is not a difficult task. So don’t worry about it.”
Reluctantly, Seo Rin nodded, but she couldn’t ease her mind.
Thanks to Tae Joon, her life had become a little easier. The ability to quell her anger and resentment towards her father was the biggest factor.
There was no longer any resentment or anger towards her father.
Instead, guilt and regret filled the void, but being able to understand her deceased father a little more deeply brought her great psychological comfort.
On the other hand, Tae Joon’s heart grew heavier as he delved deeper into the increasingly complex truth.
He wanted to do something.
What could she do for him?
In earnest contemplation, he opened his mouth while looking at her eyes that still had not lost their redness, as if he were trying to cloud the atmosphere.
“But our Seo Rin’s eyes are still red. I didn’t know until now because I couldn’t see her crying properly, but it seems her eyes swell when she cries.”
“Is it fun?”
“No, it’s cute.”
Instead of a curse lingering on her lips, Seo Rin pressed her red, plump lips tightly together. But in his eyes, even her gaze fixed on herself looked too beautiful.
Crying was pretty, getting angry was pretty, and when she smiled, she was even more stunningly beautiful.
Watching the beautiful Seo Rin in every situation, he asked.
“You cried so refreshingly. How long has it been since you cried like that?”
“I don’t know. I don’t remember.”
“Because you always keep it in, that’s why it bursts out like that. Don’t hold it in from now on. If you want to cry, cry, and if you want to get angry, get angry. Emotions are just like food. You have to eat and digest them; if you store them, you’ll get sick.”
“It still feels awkward. Expressing emotions as they are.”
“That’s why you should keep doing it. Now there’s someone to receive it, right?”
While Tae Joon tapped his chest and spoke, Seo Rin couldn’t help but smile.
She had learned how to endure. That was the only way to prevent the overflowing affection from reaching someone else.
The patience that had become a habit had even conquered her, making her seem unfeeling even in moments when she didn’t need to be.
“Where is mom… buried?”
“Our mother?”
“Yeah.”
“Our mom… was cremated.”
“I see.”
