“Did you meet the old woman?”
“Why would I meet that old woman? Where did you get the idea that she’d be a burden to me?”
It didn’t sound like pretending not to hear, knowing. Junghyuk sneered.
Yeah, no matter how urgent it was, President Park wouldn’t involve this woman. He had wondered.
“Then who?”
“What is he talking about?”
This time, there was a clear sign of irritation.
“Do you not understand what I’m saying, so you want to take it out on me? Is there anyone who let you know while assigning this task?”
“Who would assign me? I just happened to find out about it, and I thought my son might get entangled with some big trouble if I let it go. Do you think your mom knows nothing?”
Junghyuk silently stared at Seongja’s outspoken face.
“Get up. You don’t belong here.”
“I don’t like it. Can’t I even treat my daughter-in-law properly?”
“Dream on. How can you have a daughter-in-law when you don’t have a son?”
With a sneering remark, Junghyuk looked at Seongja.
Yeah, no matter how rich President Park is, he wouldn’t involve this woman. He had wondered.
“How long are you going to be like this? Don’t you know that Mom is only thinking about you? Why don’t you know that?”
“So, how far are you going to humiliate me? Just because I think about you? Do you remember the day you were born? Have I ever wished to see you? Have I ever been worried about you in my life?”
“Tsk, you have a rich grandmother. What’s there to worry about? No matter how much you say, you came out of my belly. Parents and children are connected by fate. Do you want to cut off the relationship between mother and child just because you hate it?”
“Yeah, that horrifies me to even think about it. Even animals don’t abandon their offspring. But because of this shameless and arrogant topic, I feel like I’ll be pissed off and die. Do you understand?”
“Junghyuk! How can you say that to your mom…!”
The eyes of the steadfast Seongja quickly turned red.
“If you have a conscience, please leave.”
“Fine! I’ll leave! I won’t appear in front of you ever again, even if I’m dead.”
Taking his belongings bluntly, Seongja left the house without looking back.
A cheeky brat. Who doesn’t know he’s unfit to be a mother?
Still, he didn’t want to admit it. Even though he had been resentful, Seongja quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes as she discovered Dajeong standing in front of the door.
“Why?! Are you ignoring me because I’m a woman who abandoned her child to die?”
Disliking showing weakness, unpleasant words suddenly came out.
“After being mistreated and driven away from your son, you probably want to sue to death, right?”
Even if the words poured out just because the emotions were intensifying, Dajeong quickly denied.
“No, that’s not it… I think there must have been a reason.”
“Don’t pretend to understand. It’s disgusting.”
Seongja turned, lowering her gaze. Trying to look fierce, her steps were urgent, as if running away.
Approaching the elevator, standing side by side with Seongja and hesitating, Dajeong opened her mouth before it was too late.
“I can’t understand everything, but I think I might know. Your own life was more important to you. I feel the same way. A child is precious, but I’m precious too. So, I understand the feeling of not being able to give up yourself for the child. I think it’s not a matter of right or wrong but a matter of choice. Mother… was it the same for you?”
“…”
Seongja tightly pressed her trembling lips. Tears welled up in her eyes with an unknown emotion. Not knowing how to react to being understood by someone for the first time, she couldn’t understand.
She abandoned her child. Looking back, it was really heartless. At that time, she didn’t even know what that meant. She was young and immature, and the consequences of the irresponsible act were overwhelming to handle at such a young age.
Trapped in a cramped single room, she didn’t want to waste her youthful beauty while taking care of the child. Daily life was tough, and the future was bleak. Hating everything, she had no choice but to make the choice to escape from reality.
She knew they were wrong. She knew there was nothing to say even if blamed, and she couldn’t find ten mouths to speak.
“I don’t regret it. Although I couldn’t live the way I wanted, I lived as I pleased.”
Seongja said confidently.
No regrets. I didn’t hate my life.
Because if she didn’t boast loudly like this, she would become someone who abandoned her child and went out just like that. Then she would become too shabby.
Dajeong silently stared at Seongja’s face reflected in the elevator door. Her face, like a mask that hides even sincerity to hide regrets, felt sadly.
“If you have no regrets, that’s fine. Even if there are regrets, it’s the responsibility of the one who made the choice. But you should have apologized. Tell that person. Apologize for not being by their side. Please apologize like that.”
