“No. Why would she do such a thing?”
“According to Yunjo, it’s because of affection deficiency. She lost her mother when she was young, and the family didn’t take good care of her. Then, Ma’am brought her home, and maybe because she had a bigger age difference with Hyung, at that time, she really followed Taeyo a lot.”
“O Yeori’s mother passed away early?”
“Yeah. At the age of five? No, maybe six, she said. Around that time. If you have more questions other than that.”
Seok-joo stretched as if his body was stiff. Looking down at the somewhat perplexed Se-kyung, he motioned with his chin towards the front gate.
“Ask that guy.” Se-kyung’s head turned in the direction he pointed.
As if just arrived, Taejo, who entered the yard, was shaking hands with Se-kyung.
Seok-joo, who had prepared sundubu ramyeon for Taejo, who seemed to have just arrived and hadn’t eaten, cut the sundubu in half and put it in the spicy ramyeon left over from the mussel soup. It turned into a quite convincing dish.
“Do you want more?”
Taejo asked Se-kyung, who was next to him.
“I ate a lot earlier. If Director Sim hears how much I ate today, she’ll be surprised and faint. She told me to manage my diet because I’ll gain weight.”
“Just do it after going back to Seoul.”
“It’s okay, really. I ate a lot for dinner too.”
“…”
“Then just a little soup.”
Se-kyung received a piece of sundubu and the soup with red pepper oil, avoiding the gaze that looked at her with a touch of hesitation.
While Taejo was having his meal, the staff who had gone to have dinner began to return one by one.
The first to return was Shin PD. Discovering Taejo sitting on the bench and having dinner, Shin PD ran towards this side.
“Hello, oh, is this Se-kyung’s…”
…What should I call her?
Shin PD, who stretched out his words, pondered on Taejo’s title.
There were rumors of marriage and even pregnancy. Should I call this person Se-kyung’s boyfriend? Or since they’re getting married…
“…Husband?”
“Yes?”
The term ‘husband’ was as unfamiliar as calling him Jin’s husband.
While the bewildered Se-kyung was contemplating how to react, Taejo, who was eating ramyeon, reached out first and asked Shin PD for a handshake.
“Yes, I’m Jin Taejo. I’m also the CEO of Seok-joo’s agency.”
“Oh, I’m Shin Hee-jin, in charge of the variety show .”
“Nice to meet you, PD Shin. Thank you for taking care of Seok-joo during the shoot.”
“Oh, no. Mr. Seok-joo is so good. You must not have had a meal while coming from Seoul. If I knew you were coming, I would have brought some food with the meal truck.”
“It’s okay. Seok-joo prepared something separately.”
Taejo nodded toward the ramyeon on the table. Shin PD alternately looked at Se-kyung and Taejo, then made a somewhat regretful expression.
“Are you leaving soon?”
“Yes. After I finish this.”
At Taejo’s answer, Shin PD, who had subtly changed his steps, grabbed Se-kyung’s hand slightly.
“Se-kyung, wait a moment. The CEO is still having his meal.”
“What? Uh, why me…”
Looking perplexed, Se-kyung followed Shin PD. Leading Se-kyung behind the camera, Shin PD clasped his hands together and earnestly made a request.
“Se-kyung, just 1 minute. No, even 30 seconds would be fine. Can’t we broadcast the two of you together for a moment?”
“If it’s the two of them…”
“Se-kyung and your husband over there.”
“…”
Is the spiciness of the ramyeon soup she had a moment ago coming up now?
Se-kyung pressed her flushed cheek with both hands. Glancing at Taejo, who was talking to Seok-joo, she looked back at Shin PD.
As much as she wanted to say it couldn’t be done…
“Please, Se-kyung.”
At Shin PD’s request, he made a pitiful expression like a wet puppy in the rain.
“I’ll allow it if it’s only from behind.”
Se-kyung attached a condition and permitted.
“Oh my, who’s this? Come on in, Yeori.”
As they entered the house, Yeori was greeted by O-san, who works as a house helper. Unlike the cheerful greeting from O-san, Yeori looked around with indifferent eyes.
“Where’s Father?”
“He hasn’t come in yet. Dinner? If you haven’t eaten, should I prepare something?”
“I’m good with rice. Just bring me a glass of water.”
Ignoring O-san, who spoke kindly, Yeori moved her steps. Entering the bedroom, she glanced at the dressing table in front of the bathroom.
Among the men’s cosmetics, there was a strange item stuck.
Yeori picked up the lipstick. The dry rose-colored lipstick, which seemed to have been used by someone, was noticeably diminished in quantity.
“Tsk.”
With discomfort, Yeori threw the item she held into the trash can. As she came out of the room, she saw water and apples prepared by O-san on the coffee table.
“Same as always.”
Yeori held a water cup and wandered around the house.
Even after several years, this place remained unchanged from her childhood.
Her father was always absent, and the house she was alone in was so quiet that it felt suffocating. Occasionally, the busy sound of O-san moving around was the only noise heard in this house.
It was a house where the warmth of a person living could not be felt.
That’s why Yeori disliked this place. Even though it should have been the warmest and most comfortable place in the world.
Tock.
When she heard a sound of something falling, Yeori lowered her head. She saw a fallen frame in her eyes.
In the photo, her mother, who died when she was six, was smiling.
Next to that photo, a young Yeori was hanging onto her mother with a puffy face.
Next to that, there was a photo of her family and Taejo’s family together.
But the happy appearance of the two families was only at that time.
The following year, when Yeori’s mother died, the two families never gathered to take a picture again.
The house, which had never stopped echoing with laughter, began to turn desolate from that time.
“Accidental death.”
The cause of her mother, known by Yeori.
On a day when the wind was unusually strong and the waves were rough.
Her mother, who went to the seaside near the villa, slipped on a rock and fell into the sea.
They rescued her, but when she was pulled out of the water, her heart had already stopped.
However, Yeori only learned of her mother’s death when half a year had passed since she died.
