Seo Woo, who had been sitting blankly at the bus stop, quickly came to her senses and went to her company. It was to find the cell phone she had left in the locker room.
The phone with the drained battery was off.
‘Mom must be really worried.’
She plugged her phone into the charger and thought of an excuse. As soon as the power was on, she checked her messages with a trembling heart.
“Huh?”
The peaceful message window was strange. She had thought her mom would be frantic looking for her.
As she tilted her head in confusion, her phone buzzed. As expected, it was a call from her mom.
“Ah, Mom. Well……”
You left early in the morning again? How can you work so hard?
“Huh?”
Did you come home late again today?
The voice of Madam Hwang Yun Jin was only affectionate.
Seo Woo’s mind was spinning rapidly. Her mom, who once fell asleep, was oblivious to the world, obviously only knew that Seo Woo had come home late and left early. She didn’t know that Seo Woo hadn’t come home.
‘My twins, Shin Woo, and Jun Woo covered for me……! My amazing babies!’
It seemed like her twin younger brothers had played a part.
“Yes, I’m going to be a little late today too, so go to bed first. I’m closing the café.”
It was true that she had a parttime job at a café. She would have to leave for it at lunchtime later, so she thought she would have to go straight to the café without stopping by at home.
Ah, you said you had to open in the morning, so you left early, and now you’re even closing. Isn’t our daughter’s body going to break down from not being able to rest even on weekends? You must be exhausted.
“It’s okay. I’m quitting next week anyway.”
She felt guilty, but for her mom’s mental health, she decided to just go with it. After all, it was true she was working until night.
Don’t overdo it. Make sure to eat properly.
“Okay.”
I love you, my daughter.
“Me too, me too.”
After hanging up, she felt a weight lift off her heart.
Seo Woo let out a sigh and then called her younger brother Shin Woo. He was the older of the twin brothers in their first year of high school.
Sister! Where did you sleep! We were really worried. What happened? Your phone was off all night!
Shin Woo’s voice burst out, a mix of relief, worry, and anger.
“Sorry, it’s nothing, I just fell asleep while chatting at a friend’s house, and didn’t know the battery had run out…….”
See. I told you it wouldn’t be a big deal.
A gruff voice interjected. That was the voice of her twin brother Jun Woo.
Shin Woo chirped again like a cute chick, boasting of his heroics.
We told Mom that our sister was late because she was covering a night shift at a cafe, and that she left early in the morning. Mom heard the story and went to sleep right away, unaware of our sister’s overnight stay.
“You did very well.”
Mother Hwang was the type whose body would get sick easily if she overdid it a bit, so the siblings always prioritized their mother’s health.
If her siblings hadn’t taken care of her, Ms. Hwang might have been bedridden by now, worrying about Seo Woo, who doesn’t communicate or come home.
Sister, who is the friend though?
“Aah, there is one. At the company…….”
If it’s at the company, is it Yi Ye Ri, the colleague who’s the same age as you?
“Yes, Ye Ri. Yi Ye Ri.”
She must have had some concerns. Enough to talk with you for such a long time…….
Cut it off at the right time. Are you not throwing the ball?
Ah, the kids are waiting for you.
It was Jun Woo who abruptly cut off the endlessly long call with Shin Woo, a disease of kindness. I am grateful to Jun Woo, who has no interest in my sister’s work.
“Alright, go and play. Kids should play and throw the ball. I’ll see you when I get home.”
After hanging up, she felt grateful to Shin Woo again.
It seemed he went to play basketball with friends, but judging by the fact that he answered the phone immediately, he must have always had his cell phone on him in case he received a call from his sister.
“These wonderful kids.”
They are siblings, exactly ten years younger than Seo Woo.
“Indeed, it is rewarding to raise them diligently.”
She has been helping her mother raise the twins since they were little. She fed, dressed, and bathed them with her own hands. Seeing her siblings grow up so well that they have become the talk of the town among female students is satisfying to watch.
However, she always felt guilty because she couldn’t afford to give them everything they wanted due to her tight situation.
Even if Seo Woo could not eat or wear anything, she wanted to somehow raise her siblings in affluence.
At the age of six, she met her present parents, and until her father’s company went bankrupt when she was twelve, Seo Woo lived like a princess.
At the time, Seo Woo’s room was full of pink wallpaper, canopy beds, bright furniture, dolls, toys, and pretty dresses.
The pain of her previous divorce and adoption was submerged deep below a lake, to the extent that she could live on. Looking back now, it was a dreamy and blissful childhood.
However, after her father’s business failure, he left this world.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
