Woo-jin asked, looking straight at her, making Yeon-seo glance back and forth between him and Soo-yeong.

“Because a guest has come, so I should leave.”

Right then, Soo-yeong’s phone rang. It was Yeon-ho. She quickly answered the phone and walked to the kitchen.

“Senior So!”

At her voice, Woo-jin’s expression soured. That Senior So, or whatever, why does he always call at this time…!

Yeon-seo followed Woo-jin into the kitchen, observing closely.

“Oh, you’re coming in 15 minutes? Okay, I’ll wait outside.”

After ending the call and putting her phone in her bag, Woo-jin sharply asked,

“Why does that ‘Senior So’ keep calling?”

“I told you before. His school is near here, so he picks me up when he gets off work.”

“So, why does he pick you up? You said you’re not dating.”

“We’re not, but he’s a ‘guy friend’.”

“Guy friend?”

“A male friend.”

“Since when do men and women just stay friends?”

“Why not? We’re not dating but we’re friends, right?”

“Us? Friends?”

“Ah, so employer and employee?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Then what?”

Soo-yeong asked with a sweet smile, and Yeon-seo also waited eagerly for Woo-jin’s reaction.

Surely… Surely…!

However, Woo-jin just chewed on his lip and then turned to leave the kitchen.

Oh no! What happens next? Anxious, Yeon-seo stamped her feet silently. When’s the next episode? When?

Thinking she might not be able to see the next part, Yeon-seo pounded her chest in frustration. She was too curious!

Soo-yeong, noticing Yeon-seo standing in the corner, quickly bowed her head and apologized.

“Sorry about that. We usually don’t get along.”

Not get along? What did that mean? Yeon-seo’s big eyes widened with mascara as she stared at Soo-yeong.

She remembered her husband saying that if she looked into her eyes, she could tell if she liked or disliked Woo-jin.
As she observed the silent sister-in-law, Soo-yeong worried if she had behaved too casually with the homeowner. What if she tells her husband that I was too rude?

However, Yeon-seo, unaware of Soo-yeong’s concerns, smiled gently and said,

“Our Young Master…”

The words ‘seems to really like Soo-yeong’ hovered on the tip of her tongue, but fearing Woo-jin’s reaction, she changed her words.

“He’s a bit… prickly. You know, right?”

“Ah, yes.”

Soo-yeong neither actively agreed nor strongly denied, responding ambiguously.

However, Woo-jin’s words kept replaying in her head.

“We’re not friends, are we?”

So, we’re not friends? Soo-yeong felt a little hurt realizing that Woo-jin didn’t think of her as a friend.

Just a housekeeper, huh? Maybe I should cancel the long-term work contract!

Mulling over this, Soo-yeong pursed her lips, gave a slight bow to Yeon-seo, and left the house.

Suddenly, she wanted to see Yeon-ho.

He slowly raised the blinds that were always down. Ji-hyun had mentioned that the entrance of the complex could be seen from his room window. His room was in the front building, so it had a good view.

He had yelled at that time, ‘What does the view have to do with me?’ but now, he was curious about the situation at the complex entrance, especially because Soo-yeong said she was heading there.

After lifting the blinds and opening the window, he strained his ears, but could only hear the sound of the wind. No human voices were audible.

Though he couldn’t see it, he couldn’t take his eyes off the direction of the complex entrance.

Then, carried by the wind, he faintly heard a car horn and a familiar voice shouting ‘Senior So!’

A high school teacher who drives and comes to pick her up. Such a mundane thing, yet Woo-jin could do none of it.

His hand, gripping the windowsill, turned into a fist, and then suddenly pounded the window.

“According to visually impaired individuals, the spacing of braille dots varies subtly. We might not feel the difference, but those who rely solely on their sense of touch can perceive it.”

“Is this because of slippage while being printed on plastic paper? They don’t find it incomprehensible, do they?”

“To make a profit once it’s commercialized…”

The meeting, involving a small printer and sheets of embossed plastic paper being felt by hand, continued for hours.

Businesses targeting non-disabled people struggle to turn a profit, let alone those targeting only disabled individuals. Therefore, developing a product for both disabled and non-disabled consumers was the main aim of this meeting.

“How’s the progress on the pop-up book for children? Maintaining a 1 mm gap like in braille is crucial, right? That would allow for detailed depiction of images.”

“Perhaps we could also consider making pop-up book-like covers for the braille books…”

At that moment, an employee cautiously knocked and entered the meeting room.

“Mr. President, your wife called. She says it’s urgent…”

“Just ask her to wait a moment, will you?”

Ji-hyun replied softly while comparing a regular pop-up book and a braille book by touch. However, the employee hesitated and spoke cautiously,

“Uh, there seems to be an issue with author Seol Yong…”

“What?”
Upon hearing the name Seol Yong, Ji-hyun and everyone in the meeting room stopped talking and turned their attention to the employee. Ji-hyun quickly left the meeting room, entrusting the continuation of the meeting to the manager.

Taking the phone from the employee, Ji-hyun spoke in a lowered voice.

“Yeon-seo, what’s wrong? What happened?”

“Well, the Young Master punched a window, so I called Dr. Kang. The doctor suggests going to the hospital for stitches, but he keeps refusing.”

“Punched a window? Why on earth… Okay, I got it. I’m on my way.”

Ji-hyun went back to the meeting room to explain the situation and left the rest to Manager Oh.

The meeting resumed smoothly even in the absence of the president, as everyone was accustomed to such occurrences.

Though no one had actually seen author Seol Yong in person, the employees felt like they knew him well. The president always prioritized Seol Yong’s matters over everything else, making the author seem like an integral part of the company.
