“Connect them? Are you talking about marriage by any chance?”

She didn’t ask because she didn’t know. Wasn’t Taeseokho the type to do it once? But Yeonjin hadn’t figured out what was what yet.

“That’s right. Soon, Seojun and Professor Eom’s daughter will come this way.”
Before leaving Korea, Taeseokho had a conversation with Director Bong. Although he didn’t explicitly say so, Seojun seemed to be aware of the child-related matters and was planning to move in this direction, as he couldn’t provide proper answers to various questions.

“Until then, we should observe the thoughts of Professor Eom and his wife. That way, we can bring our precious grandson to Korea.”

Yeonjin, who had been absent-mindedly opening and closing her eyes and staring blankly, burst out.

“Who’s deciding that! I absolutely cannot agree!”

In this situation where she didn’t know who Soyeon was, why she suddenly gave birth to a child, and her husband was plunging into marriage as if roasting beans in ashes, Yeonjin was astonished.

After finishing the shoot, the variety show production team and cast moved to a nearby pension for accommodation.

Tomorrow’s shoot wasn’t originally scheduled, and since today’s recording in Yangpyeong was all done, Yoo Junghwa had no reason to stay here any longer.

Nevertheless, she remained seated alone in her car in the parking lot. She had some discreet things to take care of alone.

The space, now emptied as the cameras and lights were turned off, felt as eerie as a truly abandoned haunted house.

A few cars were still parked in the lower parking lot, but they had been left behind by a few people who had already departed for the pension.

However, among them, one car, with its lights on, had been standing there for a while before finally starting to move. Yoo Junghwa’s car followed, maintaining a certain distance like a shadow.

That’s how it went.

The van in the lead was driven by Eom Soyeon, and she was accompanied by Taeseojun in the passenger seat. Jung Hwah followed their car impulsively.

Seojun’s knife-like attitude towards her earlier today was the most contemptuous she had ever experienced. In his sharp gaze, even vitality felt dense. Jung Hwah gnashed her teeth, recalling the disgraceful incident during the recording.

Is there really no lingering attachment left in me?

How dare you step on me like that just for the sake of that little brat?

Who are you to ignore me? How can you do that to me, who used to be your woman!

Soyeon, what does that little girl have that’s better than me!

In Jung Hwah’s exploding anger, the bottomless conviction filled her mind that if there was no Soyeon, Taeseojun could only return to her. The interesting glint in Jung Hwah’s eyes came when Soyeon turned onto a main road, leaving the wide road open, and she turned into a narrow path.

Seojun wanted to be with Soyeon even a little bit more. He instructed Director Bong and Park Seongho to take his car and go to the pension where the production team was staying. Then, leisurely enjoying his woman’s driving skills, he climbed onto Soyeon’s car without hesitation.
Even though it seemed like she was stepping on the accelerator somewhat urgently, the points at which Soyeon increased and decreased the speed were very accurate. Moreover, Soyeon’s expression while driving was ruthless, as if she were preparing for battle. Seojun holding back a laugh on his lips was somewhat amusing.

Soyeon was on the phone with Dosun.

“Is the pain somewhat better now?”

Yeah. The person from the company was too kind, so it can’t be that bad.

“He treats you that well?”

Don’t you know, we’re a married couple. Anyway, since I’ve got all the injections now, let’s meet at the pension later.

“Got it. Come back safely.”

Oh my!

After hanging up the phone, Soyeon realized that she had mistakenly entered an unpaved road.

“Oh, how annoying!”

“A little detour isn’t that bad. Just think of it as going for a drive.”

“Hey, can you be quiet for a bit! Ah, darn it! Why is it raining now?”

Due to the sudden rain, Soyeon, whose visibility on the night road had already decreased, adjusted the headlights upwards. Her touch was very fast.

“Kuk…”

Seojun, who had been watching Soyeon, chuckled.

They discovered another side of her that was tough, like an older sister who had chewed some gum during her school days. The gaze of finding another side of her seemed very enjoyable.

While Soyeon firmly gripped the steering wheel and navigated the rough road with pebbles and overgrown weeds, Seojun, who was jostling inside the shaking car, could only hold onto the handle.

Thinking it might not work, Soyeon parked the car by the side of the road.

“We should go back to the main road, but the turning angle isn’t coming out well here, right? If we go a bit further, will there be a place to make a U-turn?”

“…”

Even when Soyeon asked, Seojun’s lips, which had been grinning, had no response. He just stared at her, piercing through her alone.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”
