The two men’s demeanor defaults to politeness. Whether it’s learned or not.
So, she also promised not to behave rudely or show fear without manners.
It’s not the situation to be suspected by Tae-ha now.
“I’ll be back. Wherever I go, Mr. Kwon Taeha will find out. I don’t want to do suspicious things.”
It would be just adding unnecessary sins if she ran away.
“Excuse me. Ms. Song Eunseo.”
Eunseo, who turned back again, was caught by Wooyoung.
“Why?”
“I need call records. Yours and your grandmother’s.”
Eunseo did not refuse the request. Whatever it was, there would be Tae-ha’s instructions behind it.
“Do you want Mr. Kwon Taeha’s as well?”
“It might be possible.”
Bitterly smiling, Eunseo accepted his request and walked away with him.
Even after parting with Wooyoung and buying a cup of ramen at the convenience store, Eunseo could sit down only a while later. It seemed that hot soup would revive her on this cold day.
After walking in the biting wind, her cheeks were red, and her soles ached as if they were on fire.
The legs were damp as if they had been tied with tires. Originally, her hands were not smooth from the constant work, but they had become rougher over time.
For several hours, Eunseo visited a law office that provided free consultations after a few phone calls. Of course, the consultation results were not favorable for her.
Afterward, she spent a few more hours looking for a place to live in the future.
She expanded the search radius around the previous place she lived, but there was no suitable option.
There were several cheap places with low deposits, including share houses, but considering the cost-effectiveness of meals, the conclusion was a goshiwon where no deposit was needed.
“I also need to find a part-time job.”
Living in Seoul wasn’t intimidating as it wasn’t her first time. During university, she was familiar with tutoring while living in a well-off neighborhood, and she had experienced living in a goshiwon with just two small rooms before.
But now it’s different. School has already expelled her, and the prestigious university, where she could attend as a scholarship student, no longer provides decent tutoring income.
Now at the age of twenty-nine, everything was a new beginning.
Eunseo put a spoonful of ramen in her mouth, chewing roughly, organizing her thoughts.
While working part-time, use the free time to study and consider re-enrolling.
Once back in college, she can continue tutoring, earning money for rent and tuition through scholarships and tutoring.
Just like always.
And become a translator. She wanted to do something like introducing foreign books to Korea for the first time.
She even made it to a daily newspaper. She was confident in writing. If she worked hard, she could secure her place.
However, her inflated hopes were momentarily overshadowed on Eunseo’s face.
Forgery of private documents or poorly stated crimes such as difficult-to-memorize civil registration copies.
The problem is that she is not currently in a position to file a criminal lawsuit. And it’s also a problem that Tae-ha, who won’t hesitate, will definitely do it.
If she files for annulment, there is a high chance of being sued by Tae-ha.
Even though she hasn’t committed any crime.
Thinking of such things, her grandmother’s face came to mind. Suddenly, her throat tightened, and her eyes became warm.
She wasn’t always kind and good, but in the end, she put on one big burden, no, two.
Eunseo found it hard to eat more and put down her chopsticks. She was in a situation where there was no one to ask for advice or share her grievances.
Now it felt awkward even though it should be familiar.
Why did I live like this?
When she went outside again, it was dark all around.
Covering her ears with a scarf, Eunseo shook her feet to warm them up. It was a bit fortunate that there was somewhere to go in this miserable situation.
Sorry to Tae-ha, lacking in dignity, embarrassing, but as he said, Eunseo decided to spend a few days at his place.
“Don’t rush. Spend a few days here and slowly find a place to live.”
Cold on the outside, seems like a kind person. No, it has to be that way.
“Warm up the car.”
The place where Kim the driver parked the car was in front of a busy shoe store.
Tae-ha, who had leaned back on the seat, straightened his waist like a spring when he had to follow Yongsu’s instructions. Inside the Christmas-scented showcase, various shoes were on display.
Cheap, shabby fur boots with patches missing in places that were placed at the entrance in the morning.
Even those shoes reminded him of something like worn-out wooden clogs. An item that didn’t match his own home. So, the shoes were uncomfortable to look at.
Without hesitation, Tae-ha got out of the car.
When the secretary pushed the door and entered, all the eyes in the store turned to Tae-ha.
Since such situations and gazes were quite familiar, Tae-ha walked straight to the sofa inside the store without giving a single glance.
“Sir, what would you like to prepare?”
“Boots. Just make them warm.”
“I’ll prepare it right away.”
As the secretary turned around,
“More comfortable is better.”
He added,
“It has to be sturdy.”
He added that too.
With successive requests, the secretary looked at Tae-ha to see if there were more instructions.
“Something pretty.”
As Tae-ha turned his gaze, the secretary finally approached the employee.
A while later, the employee who had been talking to the secretary lined up several types of boots with different designs, colors, and heel heights.
Tae-ha glanced at several of them without much consideration and chose black boots with a wide and low heel. After wandering around like that, he thought his feet should be comfortable.
“What size would you like?”
Size?
It was unfortunate. Tae-ha, who had not been at all embarrassed until a moment ago, hurriedly narrowed his forehead.
It was the first time he dealt with a young woman’s belongings during his life, and he had never dated a girlfriend, so he didn’t know Eunseo’s foot size exactly.
“Well, is it a bit bigger than my hand?”
Looking down at his palm, he somehow remembered Eunseo’s hand that used to tie the tie around his arm.
Is the foot proportionate to the hand?
No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn’t remember the size of the hand that used to go back and forth. The eyes that had been closely examining the hand now turned toward his own foot.
The boots he had seen while taking off his shoes. They seemed much smaller than his regular shoes.
“Sir, our sister’s height is around 160, and her shoe size is 235.”
In response to Tae-ha’s hesitant decision, the secretary provided a slight guide.
160? Wasn’t that enough? Was it smaller?
Suddenly, Tae-ha kicked himself for not reaching his own chin and thought about Eunseo, who had been far below him.
