“Oh, really? That’s good. In a few days, it’s our Minjae’s birthday. So, I invited him to have a meal together. The fact that Su-yeon told you this, my mind has been a bit scattered lately. I should have asked for your permission beforehand, but is it okay if I have dinner with Jinhyuk’s family?”
Yeongseon looked at Su-yeon apologetically.
Minjae is the son of Jinhyuk, just above Inho in seniority. He is like a great-nephew to Su-yeon.
Yeongseon carefully brought up the topic, but there was no reason for Su-yeon to dislike it. To Su-yeon, the Taekyeong family was both her in-laws and her parents.
“Of course, Mother. I’m fine with it. By the way, I smelled something delicious as soon as I came in. Have you been preparing food?”
“Yeah. I was making japchae, galbijjim, and a few other things. Our Minjae eats everything so well.”
Yeongseon’s face lit up with joy as she spoke.
That made Su-yeon’s heart a bit heavier.
A bitter smile played on her lips.
“……Ah.”
A bewildered sigh escaped Yeongseon.
It was because she belatedly understood the meaning behind Su-yeon’s smile.
Her lips silently trembled.
Knowing how much effort Su-yeon had put into having a child, no words came easily.
After carefully choosing her words for a while, Yeongseon cautiously made a sound.
“Su-yeon-ah, having you feels like I’ve gained a daughter I never had, and I’m so happy for that.”
Her warm voice carried the best comfort and sincerity Yeongseon could offer.
The feeling was so clear that Su-yeon forced a smile, even if it felt forced.
“If I knew Minjae was coming, I would’ve bought a cake or something. Should I go out and get one now?”
“No, it’s okay. I ordered a cake with Minjae’s favorite character, so it’ll be here soon.”
Yeongseon nodded while unable to erase her discomfort.
The fact that her beloved grandson’s birthday could be a source of pain for Su-yeon, almost like her daughter, weighed on her.
Yeongseon felt a heavy heart contemplating how to resolve this issue.
On the other hand, why the heavens didn’t bless such a beautiful Su-yeon with a child was beyond understanding.
Yeongseon had no issue with it. She was more than content.
If a child resembling Inho and Su-yeon came, it would be an indescribable joy. Yet, unlike the other daughters-in-law, Su-yeon, who was like a daughter, was enough.
However, Su-yeon’s heart was different.
Despite pretending otherwise, her downturned eyebrows and the slightly trembling pupils revealed her deep desire.
Su-yeon wanted a child desperately.
Although she seemed to have forgotten about children recently due to her busy schedule, she had an earnest longing.
The recent resurgence of this forgotten pain made Yeongseon feel uneasy, and she pondered on how to resolve this issue.
Meanwhile, Yeongseon inwardly cursed the heavens for being so cruel.
Recently, I’ve been busy, and it seemed like I was living without thinking about the child.
Feeling uncomfortable as memories of forgotten pain resurfaced, Yeongseon had no place for her heart.
Unable to find words, Yeongseon, maintaining silence, grasped Su-yeon’s arm with an exaggerated smile.
“Today, I personally prepared the food. Su-yeon, would you like to see where you went? Minjae is Minjae, but Su-yeon, I made a lot of braised short ribs for you. I’ll pack it for you later. Go with Inho and eat it.”
With a playful gesture, she lifted Su-yeon from her seat.
In this way, she wanted to erase her daughter-in-law’s pain even a little.
“I’m here.”
Inho arrived early in the evening.
Su-yeon, who was in the kitchen with Yeongseon, approached Inho with a bright face.
“You came earlier than I thought?”
“Yeah. One interview got canceled, so I came right away.”
Inho, with a familiar touch, hugged Su-yeon and whispered to her. Yeongseon seemed oblivious to it.
In the past, Su-yeon might have pushed him away, making it a reflection, but now she naturally accepted his physical contact.
No matter how much they talked, it wouldn’t change, and it wasn’t just once or twice. Perhaps because of that, Yeongseon didn’t find the sight of them embracing casually noteworthy.
“Where’s Mother?”
“In the kitchen. Mother, Mr. Inho is here.”
Su-yeon stepped out of Inho’s embrace and spoke towards the kitchen.
Soon, Yeongseon revealed herself.
“You came?”
“Yes. Are you personally preparing dinner, Mother?”
“Yeah. Minjae will be here soon. It’s almost Minjae’s birthday. So, I invited him to have dinner together. I told Su-yeon about it, and you two should join for dinner too. Inho, you probably didn’t eat properly all day because you were working so hard.”
“Ah…”
At Yeongseon’s naturally suggested dinner, Inho made a perplexed expression.
Due to this, both Yeongseon and Su-yeon looked at Inho with surprise.
“What should we do? Without knowing, I made a dinner reservation for Su-yeon and me at a restaurant.”
Hearing this for the first time, Su-yeon tilted her head in amusement.
Sensing her gaze, Inho, without giving Su-yeon a single glance, looked at Yeongseon.
“What about Mother?”
“She’s in the kitchen. Inho, Mr. Inho is here.”
Su-yeon stepped out of Inho’s embrace and spoke towards the kitchen.
“Since I made a reservation at a famous place a month ago, it feels a bit awkward to cancel. Today, we’ll have a date by ourselves, and I’ll contact my brother soon to arrange a place.”
Su-yeon remained silent at the following words.
Yeongseon still couldn’t erase the regretful expression, but she nodded as if it couldn’t be helped.
“Okay. Su-yeon made a lot of braised short ribs to share, so I’ll send it through Reporter Kim tomorrow. If you go to have dinner right away, the smell of food in the car might be bothersome.”
“If you do that, I would appreciate it.”
Inho answered in a gentle voice and gestured to Su-yeon to get ready to leave.
Having an unexpected date after coming early was a bit surprising.
There was no reason to dislike it, but it was an unexpected event that left her feeling bewildered.
Su-yeon, who hurriedly put on her coat, was now standing next to Inho and looking at Yeongseon.
“Then, we’ll go first.”
“You must keep your promise to arrange a place soon, okay?”
“Yes, I will.”
“Words are cheap.”
Yeongseon looked at Su-yeon with a somewhat resentful expression, then smiled as if letting it go.
“Su-yeon, ask Inho to buy you something delicious. Got it?”
“Yes, Mother. I’m sorry we couldn’t have dinner together.”
“Why would you be sorry? This guy took you without asking. Don’t worry about it. We can have dinner together next time.”
With a different attitude than when dealing with Inho, Yeongseon patted Su-yeon’s shoulder as if consoling her.
Bid farewell by Yeongseon, the two left the mansion.
Inho, seeing Su-yeon’s car parked right in front, naturally got into the driver’s seat.
Su-yeon, just as naturally, got into the passenger seat.
Only then did Su-yeon ask Inho.

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
