“No, I have to go home.”
“That trashy motel? Forget it, come to my place. I really don’t mind?”
Even knowing she was being chased by loan sharks, her friend casually suggested they live together in her own studio apartment.
“No, I’ve moved. I’ve also settled my debt.”
Ye Rim’s eyes widened.
“What did you say? How?”
“I’ll tell you everything soon.”
Eun Jae also finished up her remaining tea while tidying up. Then, something occurred to her. She was about to get up but she held Ye Rim back down and asked.
“Ye Rim, do you remember Yoon Tae Gyu?”
She probably did. He was quite a wellknown kid after all.
At the mention of Yoon Tae Gyu’s name from Eun Jae’s mouth, a meaningful smile bloomed on Ye Rim’s lips. Ye Rim’s voice was brimming with excitement.
“Yoon Tae Gyu? Did you meet him? Finally?”
“Did I meet him?”
At Ye Rim’s unexpected reaction, Eun Jae’s eyebrows narrowed. She looked at Ye Rim as if she was saying something absurd. Ye Rim then sat up straight, as if she was about to deliver a long speech.
“I gave you Yoon Tae Gyu’s contact, remember? I told you to reach out. Last year, the year before, and the year before that too.”
Now that she thought about it, every time Ye Rim went to a high school reunion, she would give her a man’s phone number and told her to make contact.
She had been too busy to take care of herself, working parttime during the day and taking care of her sick mother in the evening.
At that time, she was too tired, both physically and mentally, to care about the contact info of the man that Ye Rim had given her to meet.

“Ah, so that guy was Yoon Tae Gyu…”
“How many times have I told you? After graduation, Yoon Tae Gyu kept looking for you.”
“Why? Why was he looking for me?”
Ye Rim roughly brushed her bangs with an incredulous and dumbfounded expression.
“Are you asking because you really don’t know? Everyone else knows why are you the only one who doesn’t?”
“……”
“Yoon Tae Gyu liked you, all three years of high school.”
Eun Jae returned home and stood blankly in front of the dining table without even putting down her bag.
It was because of the words Ye Rim had spoken in the cafe. She kept mulling over the stories she had told, and momentarily sank into reminiscence.
“Do you remember Kim Ji Yeon? She bullied you a lot. Stealing your textbooks, scribbling on your gym clothes.”
“Was it in the second grade? The bullying stopped the moment you were in the same class with Yoon Tae Gyu, right? Why do you think that was? I think I know.”
Now that she thought about it, the bullying seemed to have started right after Yoon Tae Gyu had forcefully taken her number.
It wasn’t an overly annoying kind of bullying, so she had been indifferent, but as Ye Rim had pointed out, the bullying from Kim Ji Yeon and the others abruptly ended the year she was in the same class with Yoon Tae Gyu.
If it was true, it seemed a bit thankful?
“When your mom was selling tteokbokki in front of our school, Yoon Tae Gyu often brought his classmates to eat. So when I said I thought Yoon Tae Gyu liked you, you vehemently denied it then.”
As she mulled over Ye Rim’s story, she faintly remembered how Yoon Tae Gyu used to bring a group of classmates to the tteokbokki shop. She was often preoccupied, having to help her mother with the shop after school.

“Thinking back, it seems like that could have been the case.”
While she was momentarily lost in thought, the mobile phone in Eun Jae’s hand vibrated briefly.
It was a message from Yoon Sun Woo.
―I’m going to stop by my parent’s place.
It seemed to be because of what happened in the morning.
She typed a message telling him that she was fine and to take his time, and just as she was about to send it, another message arrived from him.
―I’ll try not to be late.
The man’s attitude changed several times in a day. Sometimes like an icy contract husband, other times like a warm boyfriend.
“He’s unnecessarily affectionate.”
Just do exactly what is stated in the contract! Nothing more was desired or expected.
As she briefly replied ‘Okay’ and was about to move to her room, Eun Jae stopped in the middle of the living room.

She remembered Ye Rim’s question that she had evaded with hesitation right before they parted.
“So, what about Yoon Tae Gyu? Are you going to see him?”
Well, she had met him a while ago…
Suddenly, she remembered the day she had left Yoon Tae Gyu all alone in the lounge.
“I should have told him before leaving.”
It was an afternoon where she felt unnecessarily sorry for him.
Eun Jung was humming happily at the thought of spending time alone with Sun Woo for the first time in a while.
“Our son, he’s really a man.”
Looking at Sun Woo, who was stonelike when it came to women even at his age, she had thought that perhaps his taste was a bit unusual.
She had heard the story from Seongsan’s wife and was already curious when, just in time, Sun Woo said he was coming home, and Eun Jung was highly excited.
Eun Jung stood in front of the cabinet where she had collected her favorite tea cups after a long time.
After some deliberation, she selected a tea cup and took out a limitededition herb tea set from S Coffee that she had bought with the promise of being blended only with the finest herbs, but had been too precious to consume.

She had never brought a friend home before, let alone a girl, so the fact that such a child had brought a girl home was something Eun Jung couldn’t even imagine.
“I wonder who she is, what kind of girl.”
What kind of girl would have made our Sun Woo like this?
According to Seongsan’s wife, she was very polite and her gentle voice was very lovely. She didn’t remember much at the time because she was so surprised and flustered.
“I’m even more curious about what kind of girl she is?”
Eun Jung was twentytwo when she had a love marriage with Yoon Kang, the father of Sun Woo.
Whether it was because Sun Woo was born that year, despite her son having crossed thirty, she was not yet sixty years old.
She looked rather young, so when people heard she had a grownup son like Sun Woo, they were often surprised.
Eun Jung put a herbal tea bag in a transparent teapot and waited for Sun Woo. The transparent teapot gradually turned pink.
Soon, the sound of slippers slowly climbing the stairs made Eun Jung prick up her ears. As Sun Woo gradually came into view, Eun Jung’s face brightened.
“I’m here.”
“Was your day busy?”
Sun Woo sat down on the sofa with a groan. Then he replied in a breathy voice.

“A bit.”
Feeling hurt, as if he was saying not to ask more, Eun Jung narrowed her eyes and looked at Sun Woo.
“Have dinner before you go.”
“I should go. I have a thesis to look at.”
“Eat before you leave. Take some side dishes that I prepared.”
“There’s someone waiting at home, how can I just eat and leave?”
“Are you really going to do this?”
At Eun Jung’s reaction, Sun Woo chuckled and poured the brewed herbal tea from the teapot into an empty cup. The cup was steaming warm and the berry scent spread, possibly because the teapot had been kept warm with a warmer.
“I’m going to start with the marriage registration.”
“What? Yoon Sun Woo, are you…!”
Did you get into trouble?

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.
