Minseop’s head turned completely white as soon as he heard Taegyeong’s name. What a terrible fate.
What if Jinyuna really harms Seoha?
Minseop’s lips tightened. It seemed that Doyeop didn’t notice Minseop’s current state at all. Minseop wanted to hear more details from Doyeop.
Trying to calm his trembling voice as much as possible, he casually asked, “What is this person planning to do? Can you tell me more about it?”
“Well, Hyung, I saw a text message from someone named Choi Hyeongjin, saying they’re going to start a project. It doesn’t feel good.”
“Choi Hyeongjin? Is it really Choi Hyeongjin?”
“Yes…….”
Doyeop earnestly answered Minseop’s question, but his head gradually lowered. Closing his eyelids, he eventually collapsed onto the table.
Jiseop shook Doyeop, but Doyeop showed no intention of getting up.
Minseop pondered whether he should inform Taegyeong or Seoha about this matter. He wondered if he was meddling unnecessarily, causing trouble for Seoha.
Drrrrrrrring.

“A fire has occurred. Please evacuate to the emergency exit. A fire has occurred. Please evacuate to the emergency exit.”
Suddenly, the fire alarm rang, followed by repeated fire evacuation announcements. People murmured in confusion, most of them looking around in bewilderment.
Although there didn’t seem to be any visible smoke, a few people began to exit, driven by anxiety.
“Fire! Smoke is coming from the restaurant!”
“Hurry, let’s get out!”
Upon someone’s shout, people began rushing towards the entrance to go outside.
Kobi and Rahul followed their parents outside, but they were worried about Minjun. He hadn’t returned from the restroom yet.
“What about Minjun?”
“You guys go first. I’ll find Minjun and bring him out. Remember the fire evacuation training?”
“Yes. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet cloth, and crouch down to exit quickly.”

Seoha, trying to stay calm, explained the evacuation procedure to Rahul and Kobi.
Seoha also covered her nose and mouth with a wet towel and ran towards the restroom. However, it wasn’t easy to get through the crowd to reach the restroom.
“Wait, just a moment. Minjun! Minjun!”
Seoha desperately called for Minjun, but Minjun’s voice couldn’t be heard.
Since he was a smart child, he wouldn’t be sitting alone, crying in panic.
Seoha’s mind turned completely white, ready to collapse at any moment, but she held onto her composure with all her strength. If she panicked here, she wouldn’t be able to find Minjun.
“Minjun! Mom is here! Minjun! Answer me!”
Tears started to well up in Seoha’s eyes. This was why she had been overwhelmed by anxiety.
While Seoha had barely reached the front of the restroom, Minjun was nowhere to be seen.
Where could he have gone?

“Minjun! Where are you?”
As Seoha was searching, burly men in black suits entered and began looking for Minjun together.
However, Minjun wasn’t visible anywhere. At that moment, it seemed like Minjun’s voice could be heard from the back gate of the kindergarten.
Seoha approached that direction, and suddenly, someone covered her mouth, and she lost consciousness.
She tried to bite her tender flesh to regain consciousness, but it was in vain.
[Are you doing well? Things are progressing quite quickly here, so I might be able to return to Korea a bit earlier than expected.] Taegyeong sent text messages whenever he had a chance, occasionally sending pictures of Helsinki’s scenery from the exhibition. Seoha provided detailed daily stories about Minjun to Taegyeong.He found it difficult because he missed Seoha and Minjun. The regret of not being together became even more substantial.
So, hearing about Minjun’s market play event from Seoha, Taegyeong decided to rearrange his schedule as much as possible and entrusted the last day’s plans to Gyuwon.
For the next five years, Taegyeong promised himself that he would not miss the role of a dad, even if he had to do whatever it takes.
Gyuwon, knowing Taegyeong’s heart well, readily suggested that he should go to Korea first, despite grumbling a bit.

Even if Minjun pushes him away, perhaps staying by his side might eventually make Minjun feel some warmth. Taegyeong hoped not only for warmth but even a bit of resentment.
Taegyeong wanted to surprise Seoha and Minjun, so he didn’t reveal the exact date of his return.
As Taegyeong closed his eyes, Minjun’s face flashed before him.
My son and my wife. I miss them.
On the day of the market play event, around the time the event started, the plane carrying Taegyeong arrived in Korea.
As soon as he reached the airport immigration, an unpleasant call came to Taegyeong’s phone.
Frowning, he answered the call, “What’s going on, Mr. Kwak Minseop?”
Finally, you answered the phone. Is Ms. Seoha and Minjun okay?
“What are you talking about?”
Something seems odd about what my little brother is saying. He claims to like a girl, and she’s related to Han Taegyeong. He says he wants to interfere with Han Taegyeong’s woman. Is there anything you’re aware of?

“Tell me more specifically.”
He saw a message about starting work to get rid of the woman. It was sent by someone named Choi Hyeongjin.
“Choi Hyeongjin? Are you sure?”
Yes. That’s what my little brother says, Choi Hyeongjin for sure. Do you know anything about this?
“Understood. Thank you. I’ll take care of it myself from here.”
Suppressing the rising anxiety, Taegyeong got into a taxi. At that moment, the security chief called.
Sir, there’s a fire at the kindergarten, and we can’t find Ms. Kim Seoha. We’re currently looking, but…
“I’ll go right now. Also, contact the police.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
