Se-kyung looked at the clock on the wall.
There were about 5 hours left until the department store closed. She started preparing to go out before it got any later.
After receiving Se-kyung’s call after work, Tae-jo headed to Myeongdong. Upon entering the café inside the department store, he scanned the interior.
Perhaps because it was dinner time, the café tables were sparsely occupied. He moved his steps to a woman sitting in the corner near the window with a hat pulled down.
When he called Se-kyung, the woman looked down at her phone and then turned her head towards him, shaking her hand as if inviting him.
“Is the traffic bad?”
“A little. What did you buy?”
“A scarf. I plan to give it as a gift to Tae-jo’s mother and Director Ban. Tae-jo will choose for his father and brother. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what to buy, so…”
“You don’t have to buy anything.”
“It puts my mind at ease to buy something. So, Tae-jo, please help me. Since it’s family, you probably know better than I do what they might like.”
Se-kyung sucked the remaining drink through the straw. Tae-jo sat beside her and took a sip of the drink she had been drinking.
“Then let’s do alcohol for my brother and father. Whiskey for Dad and wine for my brother. I’ll buy that later.”
“Just tell me the types, and I’ll buy them.”
“Alright. Since I frequently go to a place, I can drop by there later. What else do you need to buy?”
“Nothing here. I thought I’d go to the bookstore.”
“Why the bookstore?”
“I want to buy books on parenting and prenatal education. It’s said that now is the time when the child’s hearing is developing, so it’s good to talk to the child a lot.”
Se-kyung looked up at Tae-jo and whispered in his ear.
“So later, Tae-jo, read a picture book to Angko.”
“Angko should appreciate such efforts.”
With a smirk, Tae-jo grabbed Se-kyung’s hand.
“What about food? It’s dinner time, aren’t you hungry?”
“I had some bread earlier. Tae-jo, you haven’t had dinner yet, right? Then, let’s eat something before we go.”
“No. I’m not hungry either. Let’s go to the bookstore first and then eat at home.”
Se-kyung, nodding her head, walked out of the cafe with Tae-jo.
Descending to the parking lot, the two soon got into a car and headed to a large bookstore in Gwanghwamun.
Choosing a fairy tale book for Angko and browsing through parenting books, Se-kyung looked at Tae-jo standing next to her.
“…….”
He had already secured a book and was reading with a serious expression.
Dressed in a neat suit, with a refined handsome face, the title of the book in the hands of such a man was ‘How to Raise Our Child.’
Why does that sight seem so amusing?
“Why? What’s so funny?”
When Se-kyung, hiding her face behind the book, shrugged her shoulders, Tae-jo looked down at her with a curious expression.
“No, it’s nothing. It’s just funny to see someone who looks like they’d read humanities or business books reading parenting books.”
Suppressing her laughter for too long, tears even came out. As Se-kyung wiped away the tears with her fingers, the camera shutter sound pierced her ears.
Click!
When she turned her head toward the sound, everyone around was just reading books, and there was no one paying attention to them.
“Why are you like that?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Is she a bit nervous because of the photo taken in front of the restaurant last time?
“I’m getting a little hungry. Let’s buy this and go out.”
Se-kyung closed the book she was looking at and said to Tae-jo.

It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
