Taekyung turned away with a sneer, regretting his momentary sympathetic offer of robot theme park tickets.
Caring about someone else’s child, and that too of the man who took his woman away.
“Damn Taekyung.”
He cursed himself as he left the kindergarten and got into his car.
Gyuwon, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly caught up to him.
Taekyung, seated in the driver’s seat, spoke in a deeply subdued voice.
“Gyuwon. You teach tomorrow.”
“What?”
Gyuwon grimaced, fed up with Taekyung’s whims.
“Are you trying to kill me? What have I done to you to deserve this?”
Gyuwon’s outcry fell on deaf ears. Taekyung’s brows remained furrowed.
But the next day.
Taekyung, looking like he was being led to the slaughterhouse, slumped into the backseat of Gyuwon’s car heading to Yangpyeong.
“You told me to teach. Then why are you coming? Don’t you have work?”
Gyuwon snapped irritably. Lately, Taekyung’s erratic behavior had seemed to double his workload.
“I’m going to watch you teach.”
“You don’t need to. I teach fine without you watching. Go do your work.”
“I know my work. Let’s go.”
Gyuwon glared at Taekyung, who casually crossed his legs, wrapped his arms around himself, and closed his eyes.
Gyuwon grumbled as he drove towards Yangpyeong.
“But you can’t come here every week like this. What about the company? How will you manage both?”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ll adjust my schedule accordingly.”
“What’s your relationship with Ms. Kim Seoha? Why are you pushing so hard? It’s not like you.”
“This is me.”
Taekyung was unsure how to describe his relationship with Seoha.
Old lovers?
His feelings were still in progress for that.
But Seoha’s feelings probably weren’t the same.
Unrequited love?
That didn’t seem right either. If it were love, he wouldn’t feel such intense hatred every time he saw her.
He gets angry seeing her, yet he keeps seeking her out.
Even after declaring to his mother Hyunyoung that he would get Seoha back, he found it difficult to control his fickle heart.
Gyuwon advised seriously,
“Old love should stay as a memory to be beautiful. Don’t waste effort on a relationship that isn’t meant to be.”
Expecting Taekyung to snap back, Gyuwon was surprised to find him silently looking out the car window.
Was his love for Seoha not love because it hurt too much?
The heavy atmosphere accompanied them to Yangpyeong, and they entered the kindergarten building.
The children who had lessons yesterday greeted Taekyung warmly.
“Wow! The coding teacher is here!”
“Teacher!”
Taekyung smiled faintly at the children clinging to him.
Seoha, with an indifferent expression, stood beside the children, giving Taekyung a nod before turning away.
Taekyung felt heavy-hearted. What exactly did he want with Seoha?
He had just wanted to find her, but now that he had, he didn’t know what to do with her raising another man’s child.
Confused by his dual feelings, Taekyung found it difficult to cope.
Today’s lesson was for five-year-olds, and it so happened that Taekyung and Gyuwon were to teach Minjun’s class.
Taekyung was bothered by Minjun, who stood aloof unlike other children who clung to him.
Annoying but worrying.
Taekyung suddenly recalled Minjun, upset yesterday.
“Dohun, who’s that?”
“Dohun? That’s me!”
A slightly thin, dark-faced boy with a mischievous expression answered cheerfully.
Taekyung didn’t like him.
He didn’t like Minjun either, but this kid even less so.
“Dohun, got it.”
Taekyung smirked meaningfully. Gyuwon started the lesson proficiently, unlike Taekyung, who wasn’t interested in Gyuwon’s teaching but kept watching Minjun.
Minjun was quick to understand for a five-year-old, completing tasks fastest and even helping his friend.
“Doesn’t seem to have inherited his smarts from his father. Maybe from his mother?”
Taekyung grumbled, assuming Minjun’s unknown father wasn’t particularly smart.
Unable to view Minjun’s father positively, he suppressed his unworthy feelings while stealing glances at Minjun.
An unavoidably eye-catching kid.
Minjun had a face resembling Seoha’s features but with distinct lines. Objectively, he was quite handsome.
Still just five, cute suited him better, but he seemed likely to grow into an attractive man.
Taekyung felt oddly familiar with Minjun’s face but attributed it to Seoha’s resemblance.
He hoped Minjun’s father wasn’t someone he knew.
If the person was someone he knew, Taekyung felt he could never forgive him.
As the lesson progressed, the children were engrossed in completing tasks in the program.
Having completed their given assignments, the children even created their own characters and games.
Amidst this, Dohun and Minjun glared at each other, a tense atmosphere brewing between the two little boys.
Taekyung raised an eyebrow, observing them closely.
Suddenly, Minjun threw a small, fierce punch at Dohun’s face. Blood started dripping from Dohun’s nose.
Dohun stood dazed for a moment, wiped his nose, saw his blood, and then burst into tears.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
