You know that can never happen, don’t you, Yoon Eun Jo?

If I could turn back time That thought.

It’s a foolish thought that I’ve folded long ago and unfolded and refolded countless times.

Am I having that silly thought again?

What’s past is past.

I concluded that I should forget everything, right?

I don’t want to. I won’t.

Eun Jo gently rubbed her forehead that started to sweat slightly.

Anyway, it’s true that I’m afraid the same thing will happen again.

I’m scared that his words, saying that I don’t want to admit it even though my true feelings are different, might be right.

[Now we’ve held hands… Let’s think about what to do next.]

The subtle warning of a man named Kwon Jae Ha,

Or his blatant and deadly temptation.

Whichever it is… I wonder if I have the strength to resist it.

Yoon Eun Jo.

A woman who lived her life straining not to reveal her fear of the world and life since she was eight years old.

A woman who lived every moment like a silent war to protect herself.

Like an insect dodging the sharp beak of a bird.

Without standing out in color or pattern sometimes like a leaf, sometimes like soil,

She survived by lying flat on the ground.

And just now.

She finally had a precious family to walk with, standing on her two feet.

Kwon Jae Ha,

That hot and sharp name appeared again.

“……”

[That damn love babble when you’re raising a child alone.]

It keeps creating a thin crack in her heart that’s frozen as hard as ice.

He carves it deeper without knowing anything.

The baby.

My child… My only child.

The only reason that could split open the crack and spout red blood at any moment.

My poor child, who came for a moment and disappeared.

“Eun Jo? Eun Jo!!”
“Yes?!!”
“How long are you going to leave it whining?”
Ah the cellphone on the desk was loudly vibrating.

“I’m sorry.”
Not knowing the number, she first hit the reject button to silence the noisy cellphone.

But soon, a call came from the same number.

Is there another bad news? Eun Jo felt her heart rate quicken as she pressed the call button.

“Hello?”

[Teacher! It’s Ha Yoon!] “……Ha Yoon?”
[Yes, it’s Ha Yoon! Is it inconvenient for you to take a call now?] “No, it’s okay! But where are you now? Weren’t you in England?”
[I fully came back last week! I miss you, teacher. You’re still at JS, right?] “Yes, are you healthy? You said you had no plans to come in for a while, what happened? Anyway, welcome back. You sound cheerful.”
[Teacher, I have to go near JS tomorrow. Please make some time for me. Tea is good, meal is good, and although there’s something I want to ask, I just want to see you the most. Okay?] “Sure, I miss you too. But dinner might be a bit tricky, I can spare time for a cup of tea. Is that okay?”
[Great! Then I’ll send you a message tomorrow.]

.

Sang Yoon, with a satisfied smile on his face, looked at my younger brother and gave him a thumbs up.

“What? Do you think I called because you ordered me to?”
“Either way, you’re lovely, my sister.”
“I don’t know what I’m doing, really. What would you do if the teacher doesn’t have a boyfriend No, why wouldn’t Eun Jo have a boyfriend? Don’t tell me you’re the only one who doesn’t know she’s married?”
“Have you heard that she’s married? Hasn’t she?”
“She doesn’t do things like SNS. She’s not the type to easily reveal her personal life or thoughts.”
“I know.”
“What do you know?”
There were things that I had roughly heard through Wang Nana.

They said she was still living a model studentlike life, only going between her house and work, just like she did in school.

I don’t know if cunning Wang Nana is upset because she can’t keep connecting me to Eun Jo through some scheming.

But I plan to pretend to be fooled and meet her once for now.

I’ll find out whether she has a boyfriend or a husband when I meet her.

If she has a boyfriend to any degree it would be nice to stir up some old passion, just for a while.

This feeling of being light enough to fly and yet full of sprouting energy

Indeed, she was my adrenaline, making me feel alive.

Sang Yoon, full of unfounded satisfaction, snickered at the height of his mood.

The next afternoon.

Eun Jo and Ha Yoon, who met at a cafe near the office, just exchanged greetings and sat down when Sang Yoon suddenly appeared.

“Hello, ladies.”
“Brother! Why are you here……?”
Ha Yoon, who was taken aback, blushed as she looked at Eun Jo’s complexion, but Sang Yoon extended his hand with a seemingly calm face.

“It’s been a while, Eun Jo. No, I think I should now call you Miss Eun Jo. Have you been well?”
“……Hello.”
Eun Jo, who had risen from her seat, awkwardly held and released the hand that Sang Yoon had extended.

“Teacher, you must not misunderstand! I really didn’t know about this! Brother, why did you show up!”
“I came up with the idea of buying a coffee after giving you a ride. You said you were meeting a friend, but it was Eun Jo? Wow I did well coming up here. Now, what would you two like to drink?”
Sang Yoon’s face was brightly shining as he tucked his hands into his jacket pockets.

It was clear that he was a neat, handsome man that made a few women around smile.

.
.

“Hah! Look at that idiot laughing. How did he manage to live while holding back when he’s so good.”
Wang Nana, who had been hiding in a corner at the end of the cafe, clicked her tongue.

Then, she opened the camera on the second cell phone she was holding.
