However, knowing that if they unjustly dismissed employees without valid reasons, the union would not stay quiet, they warned everyone to be careful.

Although she had a good rest during the holiday season, coupled with the stress at work due to her daughter, Yeongsun’s condition was far from good.

Nevertheless, as it was the day after the holiday, they were allowed to leave work early, leading to an early return home. When she arrived, she saw a familiar car parked in front of the apartment.

Sure enough, her daughter got out of the back seat, bowing her head toward the driver’s seat.

“Thank you!”

Unlike her mom’s complicated feelings, her daughter’s voice was cheerful.

A sigh involuntarily escaped, but when she turned to look at her daughter’s face, she was surprised.

“Seoyoung!”

“Oh, Mom? Mom! How did you come so early?”
Seoyoung was surprised as she looked at her mom’s face. Yeongsun hurriedly ran to her, wrapping her daughter’s face in her hands and exclaimed.

“You… Why is your face like this?”

One side of her daughter’s face was swollen and her lips had a split. Even on her not-so-high nose, there was a bluish bruise.

No way…!

“You… who did this to you!”

“It’s not someone else; I bumped into the wall. Why are you making a fuss…”

If she had hit the wall, her forehead should be red, but the fact that only one cheek was like this clearly indicated she had been hit.

“Kim Seoyoung! Stop lying!”

At that moment, the driver slowly emerged from the driver’s seat. Yeongsun, upon seeing him, immediately shouted.

“Why is her face like this? Who did this?”

“I, I’m fine…”

As Iho stammered, Seoyoung grabbed her mom’s arm and said.

“Mom! It’s not like that! I really bumped into the door frame while going to the bathroom. My right cheek hit it like this…”

“Is it because of that writer? Did I object to it like this?”

Seoyoung’s eyes widened. She had been talking about dating violence and all, and now her mom’s misunderstanding was exactly that.

“It’s not dating violence, Mom!”

“How can I believe your words? You lied to me about dating that writer! Why do you keep lying to your mom? Even if your mom brags that she raised you properly, why do you keep doing this to make your mom sad?”

At that moment, suddenly, the back door opened with a clatter, and a long leg emerged from inside.

Then, a large man in a beige jacket slowly bowed his head and came out of the car.

His movements were so slow that as his upper body rose, the heads of Seoyoung and her mom also lifted slowly.

Tall and handsome, Yeongsun couldn’t take her eyes off his face. Was he not Korean? No, how could his eyes be like that…

Despite the darkening bruise on his handsome face, his pumpkin-colored eyes sparkled, and Yeongsun stared at his pupils like she was witnessing an unfamiliar object for the first time.

Soon, the long body that had been stretching toward the sky slowly bent towards Yeongsun.

Exactly at a 45-degree angle, he bowed his waist to greet her. After that, he straightened up again.

Seoyoung was amazed that he had come out of the car to meet her mom and couldn’t close her mouth.

Is our mom not a stranger to him?

In case her mom touched him, Seoyoung quickly bumped her fist against Yeongsun’s arm.

Wujin, who had been lowering his gaze to match Yeongsun’s eye level so perfectly that it was hard to believe he was visually impaired, slowly opened his mouth.

“Not dating violence.”

A sigh escaped from Seoyoung’s mouth. Oh, this foolish Seolwoojin! You should greet first!

Yeongsun didn’t know what to say and just stared at his face.

Wujin opened his mouth again. This time, she leaned in to hear his self-introduction, but the next answer was also disappointing.
“Kim Seoyoung was installing something alone and hit the door frame. I suggested going to the hospital, but she insisted it’s okay, so I brought her home for now. I apologize for surprising you.”

Yeongsun wondered if this man was truly visually impaired, so she examined his eyes, but from the outside, she couldn’t tell whether he could see or not.

“The one who works with Seoyoung, is he the writer? I heard he’s visually impaired.”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

“And he’s dating our Seoyoung?”

“…Yes.”

“…His grandfather is a chairman, right?”

Even though Yeongsun found it irrelevant, Wujin nodded his head again.

“Yes.”

“Do you think it’s okay for Seoyoung to date him just because his family is wealthy? Even though he has a disability?”

“Mom!”

Seoyoung pulled Yeongsun’s arm. However, Yeongsun’s expression and body showed no sign of shaking as if she were firmly anchored.

Looking down at Yeongsun, Wujin spoke calmly without any hesitation.

“Not because he’s wealthy but because I like Kim Seoyoung, I thought it was okay to date her.”

“Do you have the confidence to make Seoyoung happy?”

“…Did Seoyoung say she’s unhappy when she’s with me?”

“What are you talking about?”

At Yeongsun’s blunt question, the corners of Wujin’s eyes went up. Seeing her firm stance, her daughter vigorously nodded beside her.

“I’m totally happy! Mom, I’m really happy when I’m with Seolwoojin! True happiness!”

Seeing the cheeky proclamation, Yeongsun, who couldn’t restrain her laughter, lightly tapped her daughter’s forearm.

“Oh, this cheeky one!”

Then, suddenly, Wujin delved into the interaction between the mother and daughter. Seoyoung, who might fall forward because she couldn’t see, somehow climbed up on her own, and Yeongsun’s eyes widened at the sight. Her increased height was noticeable.

However, whether this guy knew that Yeongsun was surprised or not, he maintained his calm expression, and with a glint in his eyes, he said.

“Seoyoung hurt her face and is in pain. Please don’t hit her.”

And after briefly closing his mouth, he slowly opened it again.

“Mother.”
