Although Hyun Seo didn’t seem to have told Do Ha about the incident yet, she couldn’t trust him to cover for her in the future, considering the commotion she had caused earlier.
In case the news leaked to the family, it was necessary to take the initiative so that Do Ha would first hear the story in a way that was favorable to me.
“Hyun Seo was in Korea!”
Do Ha, who had frowned at the sight of his mother barging in, paused in surprise at her words.
Did mother see Hyun Seo? Was she using the Songhwagung service?
“……”
As Do Ha remained silent, Young Suk grew more irritated.
“What! Did you know? Did you meet him already by any chance?”
“Where did you hear about this, mother?”
“Ha, really. I can’t believe it! Do you know what he did to me?”
Just hearing that much, Do Ha felt suffocated. He was immediately worried about whether Young Suk had caused any trouble for Hyun Seo.
“All this while, he had become the principal of a luxury mental health center called Songhwagung. I just found out today that he was the principal, and he enrolled me in Songhwagung only to expel me later!”
“Ha……”
“I didn’t realize I was so upset about it! How could he play with people like this! I was so embarrassed and lost face among the women there because of him!”
Do Ha couldn’t bear it as his head throbbed. He had no idea that such an incident had occurred between them.
Since he rarely visited his family home, he didn’t know that his mother was a member of Songhwagung, nor did he think there could be a connection with Hyun Seo.
“You must have given him a reason. Hyun Seo wouldn’t have done that just because of his feelings, without any reason.”
“He drove me out, calling me a thief just because I borrowed some cosmetics!”
Do Ha looked at his mother’s blustering face with a grim expression. Even just hearing that much, he could understand what the situation was.
Even when she was young, there were numerous instances of her touching other people’s things and causing a commotion in the neighborhood.
Each time, she always claimed she had borrowed them. Do Ha spoke with a sense of resignation.
“Mother… are you still doing that?”
“Ah, still doing what, what did I do?”
“You’re living comfortably now, without envying others. Why do you still touch other people’s things?”
“I did it because it’s not something you can buy with money.”
Do Ha shook his head in disbelief.
“Ah, no, child! I said I borrowed it!”
Hearing Young Suk’s voice, which sounded wronged and was raised in protest, Do Ha firmly closed his eyes.
“Mother…”
What was clear was that the relationship between Hyun Seo and Young Suk had deteriorated beyond control.
“If you keep doing this…”
I might want to abandon you, mother.
He swallowed the words he dared not utter.
“My child. Why did you leave when it’s so chilly?”
It was the season when the leaves turned yellow and red.
The reason why the cool air felt particularly lonely was because it was the season Seo Ha had left.
“My child, are you not cold now?”
The autumn, which naturally evokes a sense of loneliness, became even lonelier due to Seo Ha, and thus it was extremely sad.
Today was the anniversary of Seo Ha’s death. In front of Seo Ha’s ashes placed in the memorial park, Hyun Seo shed uncontrollable tears.
“Mom is getting older year by year, but our Seo Ha remains the same.”
The image of her lovely first child smiling was still the same. And Hyun Seo’s sorrow was still the same.
“Even as time passes, mom still misses Seo Ha so much.”
Someone said that any sorrow would fade over time. Sadly, the sorrow of a mother who lost her child was always as vivid as today.
Hyun Seo wiped his tears and hung a white wreath for his mother, Hye Su, on the wall. Then, he arranged a colorful, lovely mini bouquet, just like Seo Ha, in front of Seo Ha’s urn on the wall.
As he slowly stepped back, he heard the calm sound of shoes nearby. Hyun Seo’s eyes sparkled as he naturally turned his head and spotted someone.
Do Ha was walking towards him, carrying flowers. His expression also changed when he saw her.
They were a couple in the past tense, but the fact that they were parents who lost the same child was still the same. The fact that they were the only ones sharing the same kind of sorrow would never change for each other.
“You’re early. I thought I was the first one here.”
“I came a little while ago.”
Looking at Hyun Seo’s reddened eyes, Do Ha felt a surge of emotion.
Without saying a word, he hung the lavender wreath of roses he brought in front of Seo Ha. Watching him, Hyun Seo couldn’t control his tears welling up.
You remembered.
Lavender was Seo Ha’s favorite color when she was alive. The fact that her father still remembered that and brought lavender roses was surprising.
Seo Ha’s fondness for choosing and liking lavender items was suddenly vivid in his mind.
The former couple stood facing Seo Ha in silence for a long time.
They deeply empathized with each other, even without voicing their thoughts.
.

After the memorial, the two walked slowly towards the parking lot.
When they reached Hyun Seo’s car, Do Ha asked with a hint of regret.
“Would you like to have a cup of coffee?”
Having reconnected after several years, every encounter with his exwife, who seemed to be growing increasingly distant, was an opportunity. He wanted to spend more time with her.
Meeting her was not an easy task as she did not respond well to contact and was aloof when visited.
“I’m busy. I have to go.”
Hyun Seo quietly declined.
Even if he wasn’t busy, it was no longer appropriate to sit down and honor Seo Ha together. Especially from Hyun Seo’s standpoint, who was hiding Do Hyeon, Seo Ha’s younger brother.
“I see.”
Would the child be happy to see his divorced parents together?
It was all the more regrettable for Seo Ha.
As Hyun Seo bowed his head and turned to leave, Do Ha’s voice stopped him.
“I’d appreciate it if you would care for the brand SH…”
He looked at him with puzzled eyes, not knowing why he was suddenly bringing this up. Then, for some reason, Do Ha looked at him with an infinitely deep gaze before he continued his words.
“SH are the initials of Seo Ha’s name.”

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
