That's enough... go ahead and leave.

Secretary Hwang bows his head and leaves.

Daniel racking his brains, wanting to have a conversation with that child

A little while later, the secretary knocks on the door to announce that a meal has been prepared.

As I came out of the room, there was a long table and people standing next to it to assist.

Yeri was among them, and the sight made me uncomfortable, so my brow furrowed.

... Sit down for a moment.

He lifts his head and looks at me at my words.

The pleasant heartbeat that spreads like a ringing as their gazes meet.

..Why....I...have...to sit... I..I'm going to get scolded..

Thanks to Yeri speaking in a troubled tone, I stood up, had her sit down, and spoke again.

강다니엘

Scolding? Who would scold you? I'm just curious about something.

And then he asks me.
