As Si Woo tilted his head while his hanbok was being buttoned, he asked,
“Mom, are you not going to work to earn money again today?”
The laidback mom for several days must have looked strange to his young eyes. After finishing with the buttons, Da Jung smiled brightly.
“Yes, Mom is going to work from home for a while. I will pick you up from kindergarten every day, Si Woo.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Wow!”
Si Woo jumped around, pleased. He was this excited, not even knowing that his mom was unemployed.
That was enough. If he could just grow up bright and innocent, knowing nothing about the complicated problems of adults, that would have been enough.
A week had passed since she left the company, but since then, there had been no contact from Do Jun.
Considering his usual character, he couldn’t help but be cautious because of what his mother had done. He might be suffering with guilt, tormented.
Anyway, the fact that there was no contact from him was rather comforting for Da Jung.
She wished time would pass quickly. So that everything would fade and become dull, and become nothing as soon as possible.
Da Jung picked and put various side dishes that were neatly arranged in the showcase into the basket. She came to shop with Si Woo, timed to coincide with the end of kindergarten.
“Mom, how much is it?”
“Ten thousand won.”
At the answer returned without even looking, Da Jung gave Suk Hee a bewildered look.
Suk Hee was busy giving Si Woo a small piece of melon she had cut, without even looking at her.
Da Jung looked down at the side dishes she had chosen. It was at least thirty thousand won, but she said it was ten thousand won.
When she stared with a sullen face, Suk Hee diverted her gaze and changed her words.
“Your face is horribly scarred. Apply the ointment diligently.”
“I’m… applying it.”
Da Jung rubbed the scar on her cheek with the back of her hand. She was upset at the fact that she was worrying others in various ways.

Hastily adjusting her mood, Da Jung took out a bill, put it down on the counter, and scolded her.
“People say a shopkeeper goes bankrupt, but that’s a lie.”
Suk Hee glanced at it and was surprised when she discovered the fifty thousand won note.
“Mom! This girl’s crazy.”
While Suk Hee quickly snatched the note, Da Jung quickly left the store with Si Woo.
“I’ll change my regular shop if you keep cheating!”
“Hey, you little rat! Take your money back!”
Suk Hee chased after them to the doorstep of the store, shouting, but Da Jung, who had already run far away, waved her hand with a pleased smile.
“Mom! Did Grandma cheat us?”
On the way home, Si Woo, who was shaking Da Jung’s hand gently, asked. Da Jung, who opened her eyes in surprise, burst into a faint smile.
“Do you know what cheating means, Si Woo?”
“Yes…… yes! Telling lies! If you tell lies, you’re a bad kid!”
“Right, telling lies makes you a bad person. But there are people who tell kind lies. The flower lady is one of them.”
“Hmm….”
Possibly too complex for his fiveyearold mind, Siwoo tilted his head.
When I got home from having various chats with Siwoo, a familiar man was standing on the other side of the hallway.
“Oh? It’s the man!”
Siwoo’s voice echoed, and the man, who had been staring blankly at the empty house’s door, turned his gaze.
“Hello, sir!”
Siwoo ran over and greeted him with a deep bow. A smile quickly filled Jung Hyuk’s eyes as he looked at the child.
“Hello, Yu Siwoo.”
A big hand ruffled his hair, causing Siwoo to squeeze his eyes shut before opening them again.
Silently, Dajung opened the door without a word and put the shopping bags in the entrance hall.
“Siwoo, go in and wash your hands.”
“Yes!”
After letting Siwoo in first, Dajung closed the door, took a deep breath, and turned around. Her expression was heavy, but her first words came out fairly calm.
“Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk. I asked you not to come again, didn’t I?”
“……”
Jung Hyuk, who had been silently observing Dajung’s face, frowned. He noticed a scar under her eye that he hadn’t seen before.
“What happened? Are you hurt?”
His long fingers reached out. As his hand brushed against her cheek, Dajung sharply pushed him away.
“Am I not making myself clear?! Please leave me alone! I hate everything! I’ve had enough!”
Dajung, who had emptied all the words from her chest, had her eyes trembling finely. She wished that these words would become kind lies to him.
“Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk! This is my last request. Please don’t show up in front of me!”
Bang.
The door, as always, closed harshly. Jung Hyuk, who remained standing in front of that door, rubbed his furrowed forehead.
With a suspicious look on his face, he turned to leave and took out his mobile phone.
The call wasn’t long.
“Bae Sol Lee? It’s Cha Jung Hyuk.”
When he returned to the office after an outside appointment, Jung Hyuk, with alert eyes, noticed the commotion.
“Move aside, all of you! I came to see my son, and you have no right to stop me!”
An agitated middleaged woman was shouting at the secretaries blocking her way.
