“Is that what you’re saying? I am Minjun’s dad. Didn’t you know? It seems that the leaflet your mother saw conveniently left out the part about Minjun’s dad being me.”
“That’s absurd! Everyone knows that Representative Han and Jin Cheol-wook’s daughter are getting married! Oh, I see. Is that kid a love child? Raised under the vulgar mother, no wonder he does such uncultured things.”
In the face of Juri’s forced accusations and insults, Taekyung’s expression instantly turned cold. Taekyung, in a polite tone, turned her around and scolded her properly.
“Are you a lawyer? What kind of lawyer are you if you can’t even fact-check properly? We just didn’t have a wedding. Since I haven’t publicly disclosed anything about my private life, it’s easy to misunderstand. It seems your investigative and judgment skills are lacking. To be hailed as a star lawyer while lacking such basic abilities is truly remarkable.”
“I can’t tolerate you insulting me like this.”
“This is not an insult; it’s an evaluation. And, what about the remarks Roa’s mother made about Minjun and my wife? Wasn’t that insulting?”
Taekyung shook his head as if it was uncomfortable to mix words with Juri any longer.
When Taekyung looked back at the director, the director flinched.
“Director, if this kindergarten had such low standards, Minjun wouldn’t be here. If we don’t receive a proper apology tonight, Minjun will be transferred immediately. We can’t let a child attend kindergarten with such parents. And we will reconsider our coding program contract.”
“Oh, Representative Han! Roa’s mother is not present right now, so as someone raising a child together, please show some tolerance.”
“Being in a position to raise a child together makes it even more unacceptable. What will the child learn by seeing bad behavior? Do you want to teach them to do something wrong without realizing it and without remorse?”
Seeing Taekyung’s stern attitude, the director changed and began trying to persuade Juri.
It seemed that compared to HY Group and Taekyung, Juri’s social status was too insignificant. Compared to that, there were plenty of parents with the social standing of someone like Juri at the kindergarten.
Moreover, due to Juri’s incessant interference with Roa’s kindergarten life, the director was tired of her antics.
“Roa’s mom, calm down, Representative Han, or rather, isn’t Minjun’s dad making a reasonable point? Showing the mature side of an adult would be…”
“Are you saying I’m immature?”
“Not that, since you are a mature person, wouldn’t it be better to show an even more mature side?”
“Director!”
Watching Juri, who didn’t back down, the director seemed determined and struck with determination.
“Roa’s mom, we believe this is the best course of action. If you don’t apologize, we have no choice. It seems difficult for Roa to stay with us.”
“Oh, this is outrageous!”
“Roa’s mom, Roa’s dad, please come back tonight with Roa. We’ll see you later.”
“Director!”
Even when the woman shouted, the director didn’t flinch, maintaining a kind smile towards Taekyung and turning away.
“Minjun’s dad, it’s almost time for class; let’s go to the multi-room together. We don’t know how much our kindergarten students and parents have been looking forward to the coding class.”
Taekyung let out a sarcastic laugh. Juri’s face turned a mix of red and blue.
However, Taekyung paid no attention to Juri. Instead, he spoke gently to the director, showing tolerance as if extending leniency.
“Let’s go up now.”
The director and Taekyung left Juri in the director’s office and went up to the third-floor multi-room.

That evening, Seoha listened to the story from Taekyung and the director, then headed to the kindergarten with a heavy heart.
It tore her apart to think that her beloved child had to hear such hurtful words because of her.
For the sake of her child, she wanted a sincere apology. And she wanted to correct what was wrong.
This was not only for her honor but also because she didn’t want Minjun to hear such words in the future.
If Seoha herself had been hurt, she could have overlooked it if only her child was fine. However, this involved her child, and she couldn’t bear it.
“Don’t worry too much. I’m here.”
“Just, I feel so sorry for Minjun. I don’t want to stay quiet.”
“Sure. And now Minjun is also my son. I won’t stay quiet either.”
“Oppa…”
Minjun, who was sitting elegantly in the back seat of Taekyung’s car, turned his head and asked Seoha with a grin.
“Mom, is the coding teacher our dad?”
“How about it? Should Minjun call him teacher instead of dad?”
Taekyung subtly tried to gauge Minjun’s feelings at this moment.
She thought the child who admired his dad would like it, but the unexpected answer came.
“Um, no. I have to wait for my dad. Grandma knows our dad well and says he’s a very cool person!”
“Grandma?”
When Seoha asked Minjun again, he proudly responded.
“Yes! Grandma told me yesterday that what I said about dad leaving me and mom behind was wrong. She told me to tell my dad that both mom and I are waiting. So no. I’m sorry, teacher.”
Watching Minjun apologize sincerely, Taekyung, who looked at him affectionately, decided to step back with regret.
Minjun would need time to accept his dad.
Five years of absence were too significant. However, Taekyung was not the one to give up.
“Oh, I see. Then, Minjun, today the coding teacher will be your dad instead. I’ll tell your dad through the teacher. Since your real dad can’t come today, is it okay if the teacher acts as your dad?”
“Um… I have to ask my dad. Does the coding teacher know our dad too?”
“Yeah. He knows. Very well. Minjun’s dad asked the teacher. While he’s working, if he needs Minjun’s dad, the teacher can act as Minjun’s dad.”
“Well, okay. But only for today. Since my real dad shouldn’t be upset, just for today.”
“Sure. Thank you.”
Seeing Taekyung soothing Minjun as if making a casual agreement, Seoha’s eyes shook intensely with doubt.
Was Taekyung aware of Minjun more than she thought?
Seoha’s suspicion arose at Taekyung’s natural attitude.
Could it be that Taekyung knows something about Minjun?
