“What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Kanghyun urgently entered the bathroom.
“Suddenly water poured from above…”
“Phew, I thought you fell.”
Kanghyun swept his chest and said. Still startled by Yun’s scream, his heart was still pounding.
“I almost had a heart attack. Can I touch it here?”
Kanghyun took Yun’s hand, placing it on his chest. Indeed, his heart was beating irregularly.
“Yuna, let me help you.”
“Yes.”
Seeing Yun’s pale face, Kanghyun sighed.

“You’ve gotten thinner.”
He sighed while holding her frail shoulders. Yun’s already slender body seemed more delicate after the accident.
“You need to eat well.”
“Yes.”
Under the warm water, Kanghyun applied shampoo to Yun’s hair.
“Close your eyes and hold onto me. Feeling dizzy?”
“I’m okay.”
“I’ll be quick. Just bear with it for a bit.”
“Yes.”
Lady Kanghyun’s gestures were extremely careful. Under his gentle touch, Yun’s face displayed a serene smile.

“It’s like my grandma used to do.”
“Your grandmother?”
“Yes. When I was young and went to public baths, she used to wash my hair and bathe me like this.”
To Yun, Oksoon was her mother. Thanks to her warm care, Yun never experienced the lack of a mother’s love. Yun grew up receiving abundant love from Hosik and Oksoon.
“Indeed, I’m grateful to have both of you.”
Kanghyun carefully rinsed the foam from her hair.
“With you helping, it somehow feels like I’ve become a child again, just like back then.”
“Really?”
Yun wrapped her arms around his waist. She recalled when he promised to be both a mother and an older brother to her.
Yun rested her face on his chest. The rhythmic sound of his heartbeat was soothing.

“Kanghyun.”
“Why? Is it hard?”
Kanghyun anxiously examined her complexion.
“No, I just feel good. Kanghyun, you’re a good person.”
“Am I only good to you?”
“Yes.”
Yun smiled.
Kanghyun, with a smile, kissed her forehead.
“I am a bit brave.”
Yun looked up at him and smiled beautifully.

“Brave and even more so. The brave national teacher everyone knows.”
“Don’t.”
Yun hit his chest lightly.
“Embarrassed?”
“It’s too embarrassing. When will I stop seeing that article?”
“Alright. I’ll sort it out soon.”
Kanghyun knew that Congressman Seo and Chairman Cha had been leaking articles alternately.
‘You’ve worried enough; now it’s time to stop.’
After coming out of the bathroom, Kanghyun meticulously dried Yun’s hair.
“It’s done. Let’s take a break and go eat dinner.”

“Yes.”
When they entered the main house, Chairman Cha, who had finished work early today, welcomed Yun warmly, along with Yoo Hyun and Sukjun.
“Come on in.”
Chairman Cha spoke with a gentle smile.
“…Yes, Father.”
Yun was still cautious around Chairman Cha.
“Congratulations on your discharge, Miss Je.”
Yoo Hyun also welcomed her with a bright smile.
“Yes, thank you.”
Standing next to Yoo Hyun, Sukjun greeted Yun with a bow, silently.
Yun still approached Chairman Cha cautiously.

“Congratulations on your discharge, Sir Chae.”
Yoo Hyun also greeted Yun with a bright smile.
“Yes, thank you.”
Seokjun, standing next to Yoo Hyun, silently bowed to Yun.
“Even Dochi is greeting?”
Looking at Dochi in Seokjun’s arms, Yun asked.
“Yes.”
Today, Dochi seemed to find refuge in Seokjun’s arms as usual. Yun found it fascinating every time she saw Dochi like that.
“He’s Cha Dochi.”
Seokjun proudly spoke while patting Dochi.

“Cha Dochi? So Dochi has become Seokjun’s little brother.”
“Yes, he’s my younger brother.”
Seokjun answered energetically, and Yun found him adorable, so she gently stroked his head.
Today, at the dinner table, Chairman Cha’s younger brother’s family, including Sunrye, also attended. When they arrived, Kanghyun couldn’t hide his displeasure.
“I didn’t know Aunt would come too.”
“Since I couldn’t visit due to illness, I had to come naturally, right?”
Sunrye retorted.
“Yes, welcome.”
Kanghyun replied soullessly while taking care of Yun.
“So, how’s your health?”

“I’m fine.”
Yun answered Sunrye’s question.
“You, really. How long has it been since you got married and you’re causing such a commotion? You, as the nation’s teacher, shouldn’t cause concern for the adults. Seriously.”
Sunrye spat out these words with an irritated expression.
“What did I do wrong to send you to marry my brother-in-law’s house? I thought I could do anything as a sister-in-law. She comes here, always lying down, pretending to be sick, tormenting my brother Cha, who is my brother-in-law, with her mysterious symptoms. And why did you marry, with such a frail body, to make our brother suffer like this?”
That’s what she said. Since she became Kanghyun’s mother-in-law, Song Giseon seemed to be bothered by her.
She thought she could do anything as a sister-in-law. She thought that she could lie down, pretend to be sick all the time, and even torment her brother-in-law, Cha Chairman, with psychosomatic symptoms. So, seeing that Yun was like that, she couldn’t feel comfortable.
“Kanghyun is right. Your words are right. I can’t get enough of compliments. Isn’t she our precious national teacher? Haha.”
