Before Minseob could finish his response, Seoha got out of the car and took Minjun in her arms.
She bowed and went inside her home.
The house was empty, probably because her father was on night duty.
Seoha, bigger than her peers, laid Minjun on the bed and caught her breath.
As Minjun grew heavier, the absence of his father became more prominent.
Seoha managed to change Minjun’s clothes and sat beside him, stroking his hair as he slept.
His face, growing more like Taekyung’s, became clearer.
Thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a neat nose.
All the features Seoha loved dearly.
The child who resembled him so much was sound asleep.

Seoha bit her lip. She had protected this child; she couldn’t let him be taken away now.
It had been 5 years since Seoha returned to the small town near Seoul, where her father worked as an apartment security guard.
She had left college in her last semester to return here. She had been one interview away from joining HY Planning.
But she gave up her dream of becoming a career woman to protect the small life stirring inside her.
Her father, thinking she was doing well at a prestigious university in Seoul, started smoking again after 10 years when she returned pregnant without even knowing the father of the child.
For a week, her father didn’t speak a word to her. Seoha nearly starved herself, locked in her room.
Knock. Knock.
“Seoha, eat some porridge.”
Her father stood at the door with a bowl of warm beef porridge. Seoha bit her lip and bowed her head, tears falling.
“Dad, I’m sorry.”

“You need to be strong for the baby to grow well.”
At her father’s words, Seoha finally let out the tears she had been holding back.
From that day, her father took on the role that should have been her husband’s.
He fetched whatever food she craved, no matter the time, and tried to feed her more.
But Seoha’s morning sickness was so severe until the last month that she lost a lot of weight, gaining only 5 kilograms.
“Mom, you need to gain more weight now. If your morning sickness is too severe, we’ll have to administer an IV.”
“No, I’ll try to eat more diligently.”
Seoha was thin and frail, with only her belly protruding prominently.
Nevertheless, Minjun grew robustly and was larger than other babies at birth. Given her delicate body, it was naturally a difficult delivery.
She literally risked her life to give birth to Minjun.
However, the moment she first held Minjun in her arms, Seoha burst into tears.

It was heartbreaking and regretful for her that the child, who resembled his father’s features, had to live without knowing who his father was.
‘I’m sorry, my child. I will love you twice as much, for both me and your father.’
Minjun, whether he knew his mother’s heart or not, robustly announced his presence to the world.
He grew up receiving double the love from his mother and his grandfather in place of his father’s love.
When he started to speak, he called his grandfather ‘Dad’, causing Seoha to panic.
“Haha, I’m your grandpa, not your dad. Try saying grandpa.”
“Grandpa? Dad! Dad!”
“Minjun, it’s grandpa. Oh, dear.”
“Let it be. He’ll understand when he grows up. Even the young one knows his own bloodline.”
His grandfather looked at Minjun with pity before quickly returning to his affectionate grandfatherly role.

“Our Minjun is so handsome, just like his mother. This boy is truly something special.”
His grandfather never asked Seoha about Minjun’s biological father.
After learning about Minjun’s existence, Seoha had to find a new way to live.
Fortunately, she had an early childhood education certificate. While studying in the department of Child and Family Studies, she had completed her teaching credential just in case.
Seoha started working at Onnuri Kindergarten when Minjun turned one.
And when Minjun was old enough to enter kindergarten, the principal, Ms. Yoonhee, called Seoha aside.
“Ms. Kim, you’re raising your child alone, right?”
“Yes, Principal.”
“What’s his name?”
“Kim Minjun.”

“He turns five this year, right?”
“Yes.”
Seoha fidgeted nervously as Ms. Yoonhee, after putting down her glasses, softly suggested.
“If you haven’t decided on a kindergarten yet, how about enrolling him in our kindergarten? I won’t charge any tuition. I’m sure there are government subsidies available.”
“Principal, is that really okay?”
Seoha asked cautiously, knowing how anxious it is to leave a child and go to work.
Ms. Yoonhee smiled and readily agreed.
“Of course. It would be uncomfortable to leave your child at another kindergarten and work. If Minjun is nearby, you can focus more on work. Besides, our kindergarten’s enrollment is well below capacity, so it would be beneficial for me too if we could have one more student.”
“Thank you, Principal. I will work very hard.”
Seoha couldn’t believe Ms. Yoonhee’s kindness and burst into tears.

She had been trying not to cry while raising Minjun, but there were warm-hearted people who made her cry so helplessly.
The day after the performance, Seoha went through the day almost in a daze.
The Sunshine class homeroom teacher, Juri, seemed displeased with Seoha’s absentmindedness, casting unfriendly glances. However, Principal Yoonhee and her daughter, Chaeun, also a teacher in the same class, were worried about her.
“Ms. Seoha, you must be really tired. You look pale. Don’t worry about the staff dinner tonight. The Principal made a lot of kimchi, and she wants to give some to you. You love her kimchi. And here’s some marinated pork ribs for Minjun since he likes it.”
“Thank you. You always take such good care of me. I don’t know how to repay you.”
“What do you mean repay? The fact that you work so hard at our kindergarten is a big enough repayment.”
Chaeun handed over two large containers of side dishes to Seoha with a bright smile.
As Minjun and Seoha were about to leave, a yellow van from MS Sports Center pulled up in front of the kindergarten.
“Minjun! Tough Daddy will give you a ride.”
“Wow! Daddy!”
Minjun, standing next to Seoha, excitedly ran towards Minsup. Watching this, Juri murmured discontentedly to herself.

“Anyone would think he’s his real dad.”
Minsup helped Minjun into the van and closed the door. As Seoha, with a bitter expression, started walking towards the van, a familiar figure blocked her path.
It was Taekyung. Every time Seoha tried to sidestep him, he moved in the direction she was going, persistently blocking her way.
“Why are you doing this? Please move aside.”
“We need to talk.”
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
“Kim Seoha!”
Taekyung, who had never raised his voice at Seoha, startled her into freezing. The warm and gentle Taekyung she knew was nowhere to be found, replaced by a chillingly cold demeanor.
“Stop running away. It took me five years to find you, but this time, I won’t let you go.”
His words weighed heavily on Seoha’s heart.
