“You two are around the same age. Since you and your son have been separated for a long time, and you have various similar points, wouldn’t you get along well?”
The more she spoke, the better the idea seemed. She wondered why she hadn’t thought of it sooner.
“Aunt Sooyeon is so pretty, and you’re handsome too. Think about it; wouldn’t you match well?”
After a moment of contemplation, Taeha nodded.
“It might be okay.”
Sooyeon already cherished Taeha like her son. If things went well, he might really become her son. Most importantly, how nice it would be if the two lonely people could comfort each other.
Unlike Shihyun, who was already looking into the distance, Taeha was much more cautious.
“But it seems like my father doesn’t have any thoughts of meeting someone else. He probably won’t want to meet her.”
“Oh, you can’t directly mention a blind date like that. Aunt Sooyeon will definitely refuse, right?”
Surely, Sooyeon would jump up with a ‘Oh, this kid!’ and reject it.
“So, let’s find an opportunity and naturally suggest having a meal together with the four of us.”
Thinking of the image of the two of them together, Shihyun couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
[Star Icon]“Ma’am!”
A customer called Sooyeon and pointed to the curry with tonkatsu on top.
“I ordered cheese tonkatsu curry. Is this regular tonkatsu?”
“I’m sorry; I made a mistake. I’ll make it again quickly, so please wait a bit.”
While carrying the dish back, Sooyeon sighed.
It had been like this for several days already. Not only did she take wrong orders, but she also burned food several times. Her head was full of random thoughts, leading her to make mistakes repeatedly.
Since the day she accidentally encountered Leon while bringing seaweed soup to the hotel for Taeha’s real birthday, it had been like this.
Actually, even after knowing that Taeha was her son, Sooyeon never thought of meeting Leon.
She had long thought about it, wishing to see him just once, but it was a wish based on the assumption that it would never come true. She needed a reason to keep living.
She well knew that meeting him in reality would only bring wounds.
She was no longer as young as she was back then, and even if they were to meet, she doubted whether he would recognize her face. After all, in the 25 years since they briefly loved each other, it was normal for faces to become blurry and faded.
‘Anyway, meeting him will only hurt my feelings.’
So she decided not to meet him.
However, Leon shattered Su-yeon’s resolution in just one second. The moment she saw his unchanged appearance from her memories, her heart, not her eyes, reacted first.
When their eyes met, she was startled and quickly turned away, but from that moment on, her mind was filled with thoughts of him.
‘Could he have recognized me?’
If I had approached him and said something, what would he have said?
Even though I’m Taeha’s birth mother, wouldn’t he be happy to see me? After all, we didn’t part on bad terms.
She kept feeling the urge to meet him just once. It wasn’t about asking for money or seeking recognition as Taeha’s mother.
I don’t want anything. I just want to be close, face-to-face, and if we could exchange a few words…
‘He probably has a family by now. What would meeting him accomplish?’
Su-yeon tried to restrain herself from such thoughts.
Leon didn’t know he had a son until Taeha was in high school, so during that time, he must have been married for sure. There would likely be a wife and, of course, children born during that time.
Appearing in such a situation would only create chaos in a perfectly stable household.
As she contemplated this, Su-yeon suddenly felt bitter. No, in fact, it wouldn’t create chaos; it would be more like a gentle breeze. Would he even have any interest in me?
‘This is a family photo of mine in the United States.’
Imagining Leon smiling and talking about his wife and children, Su-yeon already felt a deep sense of misery. She had no confidence that she could face him with a nonchalant smile.
After many thoughts, as she leaned towards thinking it might be better not to meet, Shihyun happened to come to the store.
“Auntie, I’m here!”
[Star Icon]“Auntie, I’m here!”
Su-yeon glanced around behind Shihyun.
“Taeha isn’t coming with you today? Did he not come at all?”
“He dropped me off and just left. He said he has to have dinner with his father.”
Seeing Su-yeon’s disappointed face, Shihyun felt a bit regretful. She wished she had at least said hello since she came all the way here.
However, Su-yeon quickly greeted Shihyun with a smile, pretending everything was fine.
“Come in. Today, I made flower crab stew, which Shihyun likes.”
Lately, Su-yeon seemed to take even better care of Shihyun than before. Today, too, she sat across from Shihyun and personally prepared the flower crab, including cracking the shells.
While concentrating on the flower crab, Su-yeon suddenly spoke as if remembering something.
“By the way, Taeha looks a lot like his father.”
Shihyun was surprised and paused with her chopsticks.
“What? Auntie, you saw Mr. Leon? When?”
“I went to the hotel to bring some side dishes, thinking I might as well, and it was a coincidence.”
“Really? Did you greet him?”
“No, I just saw his face from a distance.”
Already seeing him means the conversation might progress quickly, Shihyun thought. If she were a woman, there would be no reason not to be interested even after just seeing his face. Shihyun glanced at Su-yeon subtly.
“Mr. Leon is very handsome, right?”
“Yeah, he is.”
“Clearly, he must be popular, right?”
Su-yeon looked puzzled.
“Of course, but… doesn’t he have a wife?”
Oh, Auntie doesn’t know. Shihyun whispered.
“Mr. Leon is single!”
“What?”
Su-yeon trembled, dropping a flower crab leg.
“He’s not married?”
“He got married once to an American woman a long time ago, but they couldn’t live together for a few years, and he’s been alone ever since. So, he only has Taeha as his child.”
“Really…”
Su-yeon looked deep in thought, her face expressing a profound realization. Shihyun had a hunch that she was undoubtedly interested.
Originally, Shi-hyun planned to arrange a meeting without explicitly mentioning it was a blind date, but she changed her plan.
“Auntie, would you like to meet Mr. Leon by any chance?”
“Huh?”
“Both of you are alone, and Auntie, you know, our situations are unexpectedly similar. So, I thought, why not meet at least once? Even if it doesn’t lead to a relationship, it would be nice if you could be friends if you get along, right?”
Su-yeon remained silent for a long time.
“…….”
Just as Shi-hyun began to think that maybe she should have let them meet without telling them in advance, Su-yeon suddenly spoke.
“I’ll meet him.”
“Really?”
Shi-hyun hesitated. Half is a success!
“You don’t have to feel burdened. Just naturally, with me and Taeha by your side…”
“No.”
Su-yeon interrupted.
“I want to meet him alone.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
