Taekyung wanted to quickly show the marriage registration hidden in the desk drawer to Seoha. Except for the blanks that Seoha needed to fill in, the marriage registration was already completed. However, he couldn’t force it on Seoha as her father Myunghoon’s approval hadn’t been obtained yet.
Before going on a business trip to Finland, Taekyung decided that he needed to submit the marriage registration to the district office. He was uneasy about what might happen while he was away in Finland. Even if he hired bodyguards, they could only protect him from physical threats and wouldn’t be able to shield him from provocative rumors or articles.
However, he couldn’t rush into marriage either. Considering the shock Minjun would receive, it wasn’t something that could be hastily pushed forward. In this situation where he couldn’t do this or that, Taekyung felt frustrated.
The best he could do right now was to seek Myunghoon’s permission and proceed with the marriage registration. Taekyung made a determined expression and called Myunghoon.
Yes. Hello?
“Father, how are you? This is Han Taekyung.”
Oh, Teacher Han, what brings you here?
“Could I meet you today? May I come to your house?”
Why not? Come later in the evening, and let’s have dinner together. I don’t think you take care of your meals properly when you’re alone.
“Thank you. I’ll see you later.”
Taekyung bowed slightly and hung up the phone.
That evening, after finishing a meal in a warm and family-like atmosphere, Taekyung followed Myunghoon into his room.
Taekyung cautiously spoke to Myunghoon.
“Father, please allow me to marry Seoha.”
“Have you obtained your mother’s permission?”
“Yes, Father. Mother gave her consent willingly, and Minjun also asked to see me often. There won’t be any worries. If by any chance such signs appear, I will do whatever it takes to prevent it. Please allow the marriage with Seoha. I will do my best to ensure that neither Seoha nor Minjun gets hurt.”
Myunghoon gazed steadily into Taekyung’s eyes. A firm and resolute gaze. Reliable.
When Taekyung earnestly pleaded, Myunghoon felt a tingling sensation in his chest but was also relieved. Always trusting and supporting Seoha’s decisions, he didn’t want to oppose her marriage to Taekyung.
Although he couldn’t help feeling uneasy and regretful about sending his daughter away, after all the twists and turns, it seemed that fate was guiding the two people to meet.
Myunghoon nodded.
“Yes. I’ll allow it.”
After delivering the answer that he had prepared and imagined for a long time, it felt like his heart had emptied out. Despite the conflicting feelings of anxiety and reassurance, Myunghoon’s chest was filled with a contradictory but stable heart.
“Thank you! I would like to submit the marriage registration in advance and plan to have the wedding when Minjun is ready to accept me.”
“Well, that’s good. Thank you. Live happily.”
Myeonghoon grabbed Taegyeong’s hand and wiped it away. She had been a daughter who he thought would stay by his side forever, but now he felt empty at the thought that he really had to let her go.
Still, Seoha, who had been raising Minjun alone, knew how difficult it had been. Also, since Taegyeong was Minjun’s biological father, she could let her go with a bit of relief.
She was the reason for his life, someone he wouldn’t feel pain even if he had her in his eyes.
“Whatever it is, she was a good daughter who handled everything cleverly without causing any trouble. Now, I guess I have to let her go. Please take good care of her.”
“I will do my best to take care of Seoha and Minjun so that you don’t have to worry.”
A bright smile never left Taegyeong’s face, but his eyes became red.
Myeonghoon could sense Taegyeong’s emotional struggles.
It had been a tough five years for him.
Now that Taegyeong was becoming a family member, not just someone else, his appearance made Myeonghoon feel heavy-hearted.
Myeonghoon cautiously hugged Taegyeong and patted his back.
While Taegyeong and Myeonghoon were having a conversation, Minjun stood in front of Myeonghoon’s room.
Entering my room and lying on the bed, Minjun’s expression was complex. It wasn’t anger or sadness, but a face with two emotions strangely mixed.
Minjun pondered again about what he had heard.
What will happen to me when the coding teacher and Mom get married?
Why is Mom marrying the coding teacher, leaving our dad? Is Mom abandoning me and Dad?
The trusted coding teacher took our dad’s place.
Betrayal struck the heart of a five-year-old.
Why hasn’t our dad come to see me yet?
Does he hate me? Is that why he doesn’t come?
Tears began to well up in Minjun’s eyes.
Trying to hold back the tears, he clenched his fists and exerted strength throughout his body.
I miss Dad so much, but does Dad not want to see me?
I hated such a dad, and I hated the coding teacher who took Mom away.
Adults couldn’t fathom the multitude of thoughts swirling in Minjun’s small head.
Seoha, who entered the child’s room to call Minjun, approached him by the side of the bed covered with a blanket.
Seeing Minjun holding back tears, she was surprised and asked for the reason.
“Minjun, why are you like this? Why are you suddenly crying?”
“Mom.”
Minjun, with only his face peeking out from the blanket, quietly called Seoha.
“Yeah.”
“Mom, are you marrying the coding teacher?”
In response to Minjun’s abrupt question, Seoha, with a bewildered expression, couldn’t immediately provide an answer.
After a moment of silence, Seoha finally asked, somewhat taken aback.
“What? Who told you that?”
“Mom, it’s bad. I’m waiting for Dad. I prayed hard to the moon for Dad to come quickly. Mom, aren’t you waiting for Dad?”
“Minjun.”
“I hate Mom, and I hate Dad. I hate the coding teacher too!”
Minjun’s tears welled up and rolled down his cheeks. He avoided Seoha, who was trying to make eye contact by gently stroking his own hair, and covered himself again with the blanket up to his head.
“Minjun, can you please listen to Mom for a moment?”
“…….”
Minjun didn’t respond, perhaps because he was deeply hurt. Seoha thought that Minjun would need time as well.
Perhaps Minjun needed time more than anyone else.
