Left with no choice, Seoha went to handle the admission process.
Surprisingly, Taekyung was skilled and attentive in caring for Minjun.
“Aww, Dad takes good care of the child.”
While waiting for an ECG test, an old lady sitting next to him commented, which he responded to with a faint smile and turned his head away.
Everyone he met in the hospital seemed to think he was Minjun’s father, and he didn’t find it too unpleasant.
Yet, there was also a bitterness.
If only Seoha hadn’t left him for another man, if only she hadn’t had a child with another man, they could have had a child like Minjun.
His phone’s ringing interrupted his thoughts.
Jin Yuna’s name flashed on the screen.
Taekyung furrowed his brows. If he didn’t answer now, Yuna would persistently call. She always did. It was easier to just answer the call once.
But honestly, he didn’t want to answer it right now.
He didn’t know how to explain his relationship with Yuna to Seoha.
Would she understand something that was formed out of corporate and political strategies, regardless of his will?
Explaining the relationship between HY Group and Congressman Jin Chulwook would be difficult, and whether Seoha would understand it was also uncertain.
If she found out about the relationship, would she drift even further away from him?
What’s the use of explaining it now?
He felt helpless.
Just then, Seoha approached, and Taekyung’s phone rang loudly. Seoha, annoyed, said,
“Take your call. I can watch Minjun by myself now.”
“Then, excuse me for a moment.”
Taekyung stepped past Seoha and answered the call.
“Taekyung! Are you still in Yangpyeong? I had lunch with your mother today…”
“What’s up?”
The woman’s voice leaked from Taekyung’s phone, reaching Seoha’s ears. It was Yuna.
Unforgettable. Her voice.
“I received the picture well. Right now, Taekyung is sleeping next to me. I called to show Seoha the reality.”
Seoha felt as if her heart was being carved out with a knife.
The wound that seemed to be healing was torn open again.
Right. She needed to distance herself further from Taekyung.
Seoha clenched her fist until her fingertips turned white.
Taekyung, in the emergency stairwell, scrunched his face and spoke in a cold voice.
“I don’t think there’s anything important enough for a call.”
“My father keeps asking when we’re going to set a date. You know as well as I do, for people like us, marriage is a business. Honestly, marrying me isn’t a bad deal for you, is it?”
“People like us?”
Taekyung was very displeased that Yuna considered him to be of the same kind.
“At least announce the date of the wedding? That alone would benefit T&K and even HY Group.”
“Just because I didn’t deny the rumors that we’re engaged, doesn’t mean I agreed to marry you. Don’t be mistaken.”
“Taekyung!”
Yuna shouted at Taekyung’s words.
Taekyung, who never let anyone else into his life besides Seoha.
Yuna’s pride wouldn’t let her beg for Taekyung’s attention, even if it meant striking a deal.
Couldn’t he feel pity and let her stay by his side, seeing her devoted only to him?
She resented Taekyung for being unresponsive to her desperation.
“I’m not the type to do business with marriage, so I guess I can’t be like you. I’ll leave you to find someone like you.”
“Taekyung! You forgot our promise? How could you do this to me? I was the one who carried your child!”
“Promise? My child? When did you have my child? I know all about the fake pregnancy test and ultrasound pictures you gave me. I don’t want to be involved with you anymore.”
“Taekyung!”
Yuna tried desperately to hold on to Taekyung, but he coldly ended the call. He leaned against the wall and sighed deeply.
Five years ago, it all started with a single picture from Yuna.
It was when Seoha had suddenly disappeared, and he was drowning in alcohol.
By chance, he met Yuna at a bar. She sat next to him and poured his drinks.
He had barely slept for days and was almost out of his mind with alcohol.
When he staggered, Yuna supported him.
And she even booked a hotel room and took him there.
“Haah. I’m fine, you can go now.”
“Taekyung, are you really okay?”
“Yeah. Now I can finally get some sleep…”
Taekyung flopped onto the bed without properly undressing.
“Taekyung, I’ll just use the bathroom for a moment. I spilled some drink earlier.”
“Uh-huh…”
After that, Taekyung couldn’t remember anything.
In his fitful sleep that night, he dreamt of Seoha. Seoha looked at him with sad eyes, silently, then turned away and walked off into the distance.
No matter how much Taekyung shouted or tried to reach out, he couldn’t catch her.
When he woke up in the morning, he was only in his underwear. Clutching his splitting headache, he barely managed to sit up. There was a note left on the bedside table.
[I had a good time last night. I’ve sent you a photo of our memory. Check it and call me. – Yuna.]What exactly had happened? He couldn’t recall at all.
Shaking his head, Taekyung gulped down some water.
A photo. The moment he checked Yuna’s message, Taekyung froze.
He couldn’t determine the authenticity of the photo, but it was definitely him and Yuna.
How could it be that he and Yuna were lying together in the same bed?

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
