Ji Man was stressed out due to Yoo Jin, who was a disgrace to the family.
“What! She’s your daughter. How could you say such a thing…..”
At Ji Man’s words, Seo Jeong flared up.
“At the very least, you should’ve kept quiet. We almost suffered a loss in front of Cha’s husband today.”
“Why are you so careful about that guy? Nothing happened, so it’s fine.”
“What do you mean it’s fine!”
As the voices of the two grew louder, the servants suddenly picked up rags and started cleaning the corners they had already cleaned.
‘It will be noisy again today.’
The servants grumbled to themselves.
Due to her exhaustion, Yoon slumped as soon as she got in the car.

‘Phew…’
When Yoon let out a sigh, Kang Hyun looked back at her.
“If you hated going to Seongbukdong so much, why didn’t you say it? If you hate it that much, you don’t have to come anymore.”
“What? I don’t have to come?”
Yoon asked, surprised.
“Isn’t it obvious? Why would you come if you hate it?”
Kang Hyun fastened her seat belt.
‘So, I don’t have to come. I don’t have to.’
Yoon turned her head to look outside the window. Even though it was the same neighborhood, her heart felt considerably lighter, probably because they were leaving that place.
Then, a familiar car slowly passed by theirs.

‘That car is?’
In the back seat of the familiar car, a young girl was seated. The girl was trembling and sobbing.
A child incessantly wiping away tears with her sleeve.
A child shaking with fear.
Yoon’s eyes widened.
Yoon rolled down the window.
“What’s wrong?”
Kang Hyun stopped the car. Yoon turned back.
‘Yoon Ah.’
Twentyfouryearold Yoon called out to young Yoon.

“Seo Yoon, are you okay?”
Kang Hyun called out to Yoon. Only then did Yoon turn her body to look at him.
“I’m sorry. I thought I saw someone I knew.”
“Really? Who?”
“I must have seen wrong.”
Yoon responded weakly and then rested her head on the window.
‘When can I become a proper adult? When can I become a strong person?’
She had lived diligently up until now and had tried to become a confident person. However, she still felt utterly powerless in front of them.
The twoyear nightmare in that house had an endless hold on her.
‘Pathetic.’

She started to doubt again whether she could survive in this harsh world with such a weak heart.
‘It’ll be okay.’
But as always, Yoon comforted herself. She believed her heart had weakened because the memories she had tried hard to erase after leaving that house had resurfaced.
Then, the faint reflection of Kang Hyun on the window caught her eye. Suddenly, she remembered his warm hand holding hers.
Standing at the edge of a thousandfoot cliff, trembling, he reached out and warmly held her hand, and strangely, she was no longer trembling when she held his hand.
Yoon turned her head to look at him.
“Why?”
When she only stared at him silently, Kang Hyun asked.
Yoon quietly placed her hand on top of his. His large and firm hand was very warm.
“Because I’m thankful.”

“Because you don’t have to come here?”
Yoon just gave a vague smile and looked at her own hand. The wedding ring on her finger sparkled in the sunlight, making Yoon’s face also brighten.
“Because your hand, Kang Hyun, is warm.”
His hand was warm, and the inside of his car was filled with his scent. Yoon’s eyes slowly drooped.
‘Warm.’
Yoon’s head began to lean towards him.
When the signal caught, Kang Hyun looked back at her. He straightened the head of the sleeping girl who was in an uncomfortable position.
Suddenly, the conversation she had with Kyung Ho before getting in the car came to mind.
‘She’s not Seo Yoon?’
‘Ah… She’s a different kid…’

Kyung Ho struggled to finish his sentence.
‘But anyway, Yoon did say she received a house. Her mother said she gave her one.’
‘Enough, how many illegitimate children are there?’
‘Well… that’s… there’s only Yoon and that woman. Anyway, since Yoon is on the family register, she’s officially a child of her father.’
He knew the rumors of Ji Man being a womanizer and was curious about how many illegitimate children there were in that house, but he had no idea the man was so irresponsible.
Kang Hyun cautiously put his hand on Yoon’s cheek, which looked pale.
‘No fever… If she goes to that house one more time, she’ll get sick. Why does she look so down even though she said she didn’t live with them?’
Concerned about Yoon, who was sleeping curled up, Kang Hyun adjusted the air conditioning. He covered Yoon with the clothes he had taken off.
‘Catching cold in this summer. Is she weak? Should I give her some medicine?’
A while later, as Kang Hyun entered the apartment’s parking lot, he simply stared at the sleeping Yoon.

Yoon was still asleep, curled up leaning against the window. Kang Hyun carefully lifted her head and leaned it against his shoulder.
She seemed to be having a bad dream as her brow was furrowed. After gently stroking her, her face relaxed slightly.
Then he noticed her slender hand, lying lifelessly. He lifted her soft hand and gave it a peck. Yoon, possibly deep in sleep, did not move.
‘She’s sleeping well again today.’
Maybe it was because he kept touching it, but he could feel warmth in her hand.
‘Why isn’t she smelling it today?’
Kang Hyun lifted his arm to wrap it around her shoulder. Her small, delicate body was buried deep in his embrace.
He sprayed the perfume she liked. Lately, he had been using that perfume almost exclusively. His hand kept reaching for it, perhaps because it was Seo Yoon’s favorite scent.
At that time, Seo Yoon started to stir slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t realize.”

Seo Yoon, startled, withdrew from him. She felt embarrassed for constantly falling asleep when she was with him. Today, she felt especially drained.
“You could have slept more.”
Feeling regretful as she pulled away, Kang Hyun pulled her back in. Then, he saw the tears in her eyes. Kang Hyun’s expression hardened.
“Seo Yoon.”
Kang Hyun lifted her face and wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
“Did those people bother you?”
Remembering how Yu Jin had glared at Yoon, Kang Hyun felt a surge of anger.
“Should I go back and kill them?”
The sincerity in Kang Hyun’s eyes was undeniable. However, Seo Yoon shook her head.
“No.”

The idea of going back, even as a joke, was distasteful.
“Come here.”
Kang Hyun pulled her in. Seo Yoon’s small body entered his embrace.
Seo Yoon buried her face in his chest, comforted by his familiar scent. Seeing her like this made Kang Hyun’s heart ache, so he kept stroking her back.
“Kang Hyun, let’s go to our home now.”
She mumbled from within his embrace.
“Alright. Let’s go to our home.”
Kang Hyun kissed the top of her head.
‘Was her name Yu Jin?’
Yu Jin had glared at Seo Yoon as if
