김태형

Lee Ji-eun?....

이지은 image

이지은

Long time no see, how have you been?

김태형 image

김태형

I'm doing so well that you're asking why I'm here.

이지은 image

이지은

No, Taehyun is going to take you?

김태형 image

김태형

What right do you have to take Taehyun? You're not even his mother.

이지은 image

이지은

Seriously... Then, Kim Taehyung, what qualifications do you have to be a father? You're so busy that you can't even play with me.

이지은 image

이지은

Okay, tell me where Taehyun is. I'm not that kind of person.

김태형 image

김태형

Ha... I don't plan on telling you. I'm going to go now, so do whatever you want with the company.

Taehyung moved his seat.

이지은 image

이지은

Ha.. Do you think I can't find it?

The author mutters to himself, then smiles and turns to leave the company.

김여주 image

김여주

Ugh... Ha... It's hard...

The heroine looks up at the sky. She squints her eyes briefly at the dazzling sunlight and then looks back down at the ground.

김여주 image

김여주

Ugh, I'm worried... I'm worried...

이지은 image

이지은

What is it?

김여주 image

김여주

Just...Taehyun or...Taehyung.... But who are you?..

이지은 image

이지은

I am Taehyun's mother.

Yeo-ju looked up in surprise and saw Lee Ji-eun standing there with her arms crossed.

이지은 image

이지은

Madam, please give me a moment of your time.

Yeoju nodded and followed Ji-eun out, got into the car, and headed to a nearby cafe.

김여주 image

김여주

Yes?....You want to take Taehyun with you?

이지은 image

이지은

Yes, I felt bad about leaving Taehyun with Taehyung back then. We weren't in a good financial situation either.

이지은 image

이지은

First of all, my parents were strongly against it, so I told Taehyung that I was scared and that I went to study abroad. I have a boyfriend, and that boyfriend also wants to see Taehyun.

이지은 image

이지은

And above all, we are going to get married and it would be better for Lee Yang and Taehyun to grow up wealthy on our own rather than having a father who is too busy growing up to play with them.

이지은 image

이지은

Well... Taehyung needs to get a girlfriend too. If he's not a man who's good at being a womanizer...

김여주 image

김여주

.....

이지은 image

이지은

So, please cooperate with me so I can take Taehyun with me.

김여주 image

김여주

No, everything you think is wrong.

김여주 image

김여주

No matter how busy or tired he was, Taehyung always played with Taehyun, went out with him, and always put Taehyun before himself.

김여주 image

김여주

And Taehyun is a deep child who really likes and loves his dad, no, Taehyung.

김여주 image

김여주

So, even though she's having a hard time, she always wants to give strength to her dad. What do you think would happen if Taehyun and Taehyung were to break up?

김여주 image

김여주

And will Taehyun be happy? Growing up with someone like you? I don't understand.

김여주 image

김여주

Ji-eun is not qualified to be a mother, not now, not ever. I don't think she'll ever meet Tae-hyun again. I'll get up now.

이지은 image

이지은

The female protagonist got up from her seat and left the cafe.

Why would they come out like this? And who am I to say anything... I guess I can't help it since it's come to this.

Yeoju is walking home, stumbling along. Then, someone speaks to her.

김태형 image

김태형

Miss Yeoju, are you on your way home now?

김여주 image

김여주

T...Taehyung...

The female protagonist starts to cry when she sees Taehyung.

김여주 image

김여주

T...Taehyung...

김태형 image

김태형

What's wrong, Miss Yeoju? What's wrong?

김여주 image

김여주

A...that's...that's...

As Yeo-ju was wiping away tears from her eyes, Tae-hyung suddenly hugged her.

김태형 image

김태형

If it's hard for you to say, you don't have to.

At Taehyung's words, the woman shed tears while being held by Taehyung... so sadly... Taehyung hugged her even tighter.

김태형 image

김태형

Did you cry?

김여주 image

김여주

(Nodding)

김태형 image

김태형

Ah, I wish you would tell me when you want to talk, and I have something to say.

김태형 image

김태형

Do you have time?

김여주 image

김여주

(Nodding)

김태형 image

김태형

Yeoju-yang. I thought about it seriously. I think I like Yeoju-yang.

김여주 image

김여주

N....Huh?

김태형 image

김태형

Actually, maybe it was from the first time we met? Every time I saw Taehyun taking care of me and smiling

김태형 image

김태형

I was excited and nervous. Yeoju-yang, no, Yeoju-ya, I want to hear a definitive answer.
