Then, slowly, she led the way along the outskirts of the playground.
Like slowly flowing clouds, the footsteps of the two became infinitely slow.
“Come to think of it, I showed you my entire album, but I don’t know what you looked like when you were young. Well, naturally, you were probably a quiet and lovely girl like you are now.”
“…I wasn’t that quiet back then.”
“It turns out our Woojoo is lively like his mom when you get to know him.”
“When we go back, I’ll show you my album. It’s not as many as Ms. Chaeha’s, to be honest. I hardly took any pictures after elementary school.”
There was a sense of pressure in the hand she was holding. Chaeha quickly grasped why Seolwon had few pictures.
Dad’s sacrifice, Mom’s illness.
In such turbulent realities, there weren’t many memories captured in photographs.
“Seolwon.”
A whisper that made her cheeks blush every time.
Calling her name with a pleasant voice, Chaeha turned her towards him.
Unnoticed, a faint orange sunset spread behind them.
And the place where the two stood was the stairs at the end of the playground, bathed in the spreading sunset.
Seolwon sat alone, hugging her backpack, looking at the sunset, waiting for her mom who never came.
“At that time, it was so heartbreaking that I couldn’t protect you, the young you.”
“Ms. Chaeha…”
“But from now on, I’ll be with you forever. Wherever you are, I’ll always go first and wait for you, so you won’t be lonely waiting alone.”
The warm sunset glow reflected in Chaeha’s deep eyes settled gently towards Seolwon.
The gaze seemed to melt away even the cold memories engraved in her heart.
At this moment, Seolwon truly didn’t feel lonely.
Staring into his affectionate eyes, Seolwon warmly smiled.
“The sunset is so beautiful, Ms. Chaeha.”
That night, after eating a rather fierce-looking Gomdol lunchbox, Woojoo fell into a deep sleep.
Then Seolwon and Chaeha decided to read the letter left by their mother.
It was intentionally brought to read on the way back after meeting their father.
Leaning their shoulders together, the two slowly took out the paper from the envelope.
As they finally unfolded the letter, the scent of mom’s sweater filled the air.
An incredibly lovely and missed scent.
On the paper, in neat handwriting, Seolwon began to read her mother’s heart.
“To my beloved daughter, Seolwon.
First, I must say sorry.
Even as I write this letter, my heart aches at the thought of the suffering you went through while taking care of a sick mom during your beautiful years.
Because your father is a firefighter who always has to be close to the fire, I deliberately named you Seolwon, wishing you warmth.
I thought it was just a good name, but later, I regretted it a bit.
“I was afraid that your life might be as lonely and cold as the name suggests.
Your dad liked the name, thinking it was just beautiful without any unnecessary concerns, but in the heart of a mother, wouldn’t a regret linger, wishing for a name more like a garden or a flower garden?
Now that I think about it, you were like a flower blooming alone above Seolwon, a very special and precious existence.
Even though your father left like that, Mom was happy because Seolwon was in Mom’s life.
Even though she suffered from illness for a long time, just being able to meet and be with our beautiful daughter was enough.
Our daughter, Seolwon.
Leaving you behind is painful, but Mom believes that you have Chae-ha by your side now, so she feels secure.
Isn’t that right? When Mr. Chae-ha first came to our house.
Mom glimpsed a young Dad’s appearance from Mr. Chae-ha.
Wearing a firefighting suit full of soot, he came to the house without any hesitation.
How inexperienced he was, confessing his long-time crush on the way to confess, a man who didn’t know how to bring a single flower.
But why. Although he was neatly dressed and standing in front of the gate with an indifferent expression, Mom felt the same tension as Dad’s back then.
If there’s no worry at all that there might be something in their quick marriage, it would be a lie.
But Mom knew.
From the gaze of Mr. Chae-ha looking at you, she could read a similar tension to Dad’s heart, which couldn’t express overflowing love like proposing in a field but had the same sincerity as a solid and unchanging rock.
Mom believed that this sincerity would surely make you happy, Seolwon.
And she also thought.
There must have been a strong attraction for our daughter to decide to get married.
Even if the two didn’t know it well, even if there were some big obstacles between them.
If they love each other, everything will be fine in the end.
I just hope that by now, the two of them have realized and shared that sincerity.
Mr. Chae-ha is a very cool and excellent son-in-law.
Thanks to him, Mom enjoyed her later years comfortably, and no matter how many times she says thank you, it’s not enough.
Seolwon. Dad left early, but we were always together in those happy memories.
When Dad proposed in the field, when Seolwon had you, when the three of us laughed while swinging. All of that was a big blessing that life gave.
So, Seolwon, even if I leave, I hope you won’t be too sad.
When one thing leaves, another precious thing comes.
Because that’s life.
Mom loves you very much. Our daughter, Seolwon.
I’ll be watching you and Chae-ha living happily as a couple from heaven.
And also our future grandson or granddaughter who will be born later.
What would be the baby’s name? Now I suddenly feel a bit regretful and curious about only that.”
As Seolwon read the last paragraph, her voice was moist with tears.
However, it was not pure sadness.
While reading the will, tears flowed, but unexpected stories also brought laughter.
It was as if I saw my father overlapped in Chae-ha, who had a completely different atmosphere.
That moment.
“Uh? Mom! If you cry and then laugh, do horns grow on your butt~?”
“Woo-joo…”
Woo-joo, who I thought was sound asleep, woke up at the sound of reading the will and blinked as she came out to the living room.
Then, quickly, she sat down, digging into Seolwon’s lap.
Woo-joo’s soft hair tickled under the chin.
Suddenly, Seolwon realized.
The cozy feel of the beige sweater that Mom always wore.
It was very similar to Woo-joo’s puppy-like hair.
Love still continues, exists by our side.
What Mom wanted to teach me was precisely that.
Love. The warmest feeling in the world.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
