Chapter 51

Yoomin smiled softly and stepped inside.

Unlike when he spoke matter-of-factly to his older brother, Kwon Secretary’s brother shyly stepped back.

Just looking at him, you could say he was like a bashful girl.

Seeing a man much bigger than herself openly showing embarrassment, Yoomin found him endearing as a younger brother.

“Where’s Mother?”

“Ah, inside…”

“Miss Yoomin. Please come inside.”

Kwon Secretary extended his arm and opened the door for her.

Yoomin looked at Kwon Secretary’s brother who had stepped aside for her, nodded slightly, then stepped into the entrance.

“Wipe your drool. She’s Jaejun’s girlfriend.”

“Ah, why are you saying that now.”

At the grumbling voice of Kwon Secretary’s brother from behind, Yoomin chuckled softly.

“Oh my. You must be the young lady who came to look at the house?”

A pleasant-looking woman in her fifties wearing an apron walked toward the entrance.

As she came right up close, there was a savory curry scent.

She had loved curry as a child. The image of her mother, who would stop cooking in the kitchen for Yoomin and welcome her when she returned from kindergarten, came to mind.

Coming out of Paternal Grandparents’ House, I get to have such precious experiences too.

Yoomin put strength into her lips that were about to droop downward.

“Have you eaten? I was just developing a menu right now. If it’s okay, would you like to taste it?”

Yoomin carefully answered while looking at Kwon Secretary’s mother, who treated her without reserve despite meeting her for the first time.

“But… would that be okay?”

“Of course. Come in. Put on the slippers in front. Oh. You’re here? If you’re going to eat too, wash your hands and come to the kitchen.”

Seeing Kwon Secretary’s mother talk to thirty-year-old Kwon Secretary exactly like an elementary school student, Yoomin giggled.

Kwon Secretary seemed embarrassed and grumbled quietly, “Ah, Mother really.”

Going to the kitchen, Yoomin asked Kwon Secretary.

“Kwon Secretary. I’m really envious.”

“Yes? What are you envious of?”

“Living with family like this. It seems so nice with the human warmth.”

“Haha. That’s only good when you see them occasionally. If you see them often, you just fight. For reference, I live alone somewhere else.”

“I’d like to try living with Mother and Father even if we fought.”

Embarrassed by the inner thoughts that came out without her knowing, Yoomin quickly entered the kitchen.

Kwon Secretary’s mother must have quick hands, as she was already setting down two plates with curry over rice on the table.

“It’s past mealtime, so I served small portions just to taste like a snack. If it’s delicious after eating, you can have more.”

Yoomin, who ended up sitting next to Kwon Secretary, bowed her head gratefully.

Kwon Secretary’s mother, sitting across from them, made her eyes into crescents and rested her chin on her hand while observing Yoomin intently.

“My goodness. How can such a pretty young lady exist? Are you a college student?”

“Ah. No. I just teach children at a Piano Academy.”

“Really? How old are you?”

“I’m twenty-five years old.”

“The prime of your life. By the way, you’d go so well with our Jaejun.”

Yoomin’s shoulders flinched.

“Miss, do you have a boyfriend? Among our son’s friends-“

“Oh, Mother. Why are you asking such things to make Miss Yoomin uncomfortable when you just met?”

“Ah, is it uncomfortable?”

“And huh? I’m the one who brought Miss Yoomin, so why are you suddenly bringing up Jaejun out of nowhere?”

Kwon Secretary spoke meaning not to bring up Jaejun’s story since Yoomin might feel uncomfortable.

“The visuals don’t match with you. This young lady would look like a painting if she stood next to Jaejun.”

Kwon Secretary put down his spoon as if to say stop talking, and Yoomin couldn’t hide her laughter and giggled.

“Anyway, come up when you’re done eating. I’ll go to the 2nd Floor and turn on the lights.”

Kwon Secretary’s mother went upstairs first, saying she would inspect before showing the Two-Story House.

When only the two remained, Kwon Secretary offered an apology.

“I’m sorry, Miss Yoomin. You must have been troubled because of our mother.”

“Not at all. Mother seems to have a good impression and be very kind. I’ll stay here.”

Kwon Secretary’s eyes widened.

“You haven’t… even seen the 2nd Floor yet?”

“Yes. But whatever the house structure is like doesn’t really matter to me. The landlord is also kind and I think I’d feel comfortable staying here.”

Kwon Secretary was about to say something more but nodded his head.

“You’ve thought well. The 2nd Floor was remodeled not long ago so it’s like a new house, and it would be good for a young woman to live alone. The Vice President would be relieved too. Shall we go up and take a look when you’re finished?”

Yoomin answered that it sounded good and got up from her seat.

Heading to the 2nd Floor, she could see an open view along with a sturdy-looking black steel entrance door.

Opening the door and entering, unlike the 1st floor that was surrounded by wooden walls, bright ivory wallpaper wrapped around all sides.

Thanks to the white flooring that was similar in tone to the wallpaper, the inside of the house looked spacious and comfortable.

“Wow… it’s like I’ve come to a completely new apartment building.”

Kwon Secretary felt proud at Yoomin’s admiration.

“Mother put care into the remodeling.”

Then Kwon Secretary’s mother came out of the room and spoke to Yoomin.

“Take a look at the room too.”

Yoomin headed to the room with an excited heart.

The room was slightly smaller than the living room and had a large window.

Opening the window, it wasn’t blocked by buildings and the view was completely open.

When she stayed at Paternal Grandparents’ House, it was dark and gloomy with little sunlight, but this place seemed to have very good lighting.

Going out to the living room, Yoomin calmed her excited heart as much as possible and said.

“Could I… stay here?”

“Oh my, of course. Oh right, there’s no bed yet, what to do. There’s an unused topper on the 1st floor, shall I bring one up?”

Before Yoomin could even answer, Kwon Secretary said he would bring it and left the house.

After Kwon Secretary left, Kwon Secretary’s mother took Yoomin around and showed her the bathroom and kitchen too.

Even someone who looked at houses meticulously would say it was good, but to Yoomin who had been staying in the Small Room at Paternal Grandparents’ House where light barely entered, it was like a palace.

Later Kwon Secretary came back up and made notes of the furniture and appliances that needed to be filled in the house.

“Daily necessities will all be delivered by tomorrow morning. I’ll make sure you can receive the bed and sofa within two days at most. Appliances might take a bit longer.”

“Yes, thank you. Kwon Secretary.”

“Not at all. If you think of anything else you need, please contact me.”

Kwon Secretary went down to the 1st floor briefly and brought up the shopping bag containing Yoomin’s clothes.

Next to the shopping bag placed at the entrance, a large non-woven bag was visible.

“Mother packed some towels, a pillow, tissues and such. She said she’d bring bedding later too.”

“She’s taking such good care of me… I wonder if it’s okay to accept…”

“Of course it is. You’re the first tenant. Mother is so happy that a pretty and good young lady came instead of a strange tenant.”

“Then that’s a relief.”

“Oh my. It’s already dinner time. Miss Yoomin, I should get going. I need to stop by the Company too. Mother will probably ask you to eat dinner together, but if you’re uncomfortable, it’s okay to decline.”

“Yes, Secretary. Thank you so much for today. Get home safely.”

“Yes. I’ll stop by again tomorrow! Rest well!”

Kwon Secretary bowed politely and left the house.

Left alone, Yoomin flopped down on the topper laid out in the living room.

She spread her arms and legs like a starfish and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Looking at the very bright light, she was confused whether this was a dream or reality.

Until two days ago, being confined by Yun Bosal and almost suffering terrible things from Kim Byeongtae felt like someone else’s story.

“To think such a day would come in my life…”

How much had she dreamed of a life where she could stay in a place with no threats without having to be mindful of others.

She slowly closed her eyes.

* * *

Knock knock-.

At the sound of knocking, Yoomin startled and bolted upright.

She looked around the unfamiliar space before remembering this was the 2nd floor of Secretary Kwon’s mother’s house.

Knock knock knock-.

The knocking sound came again.

Yoomin answered “Just a moment” in a hoarse voice as she approached the entrance.

As she walked over, she checked the time on her phone and was flustered.

It was already past 8 PM.

I slept for almost 2 hours?

Knock knock-.

“Yes!”

Yoomin opened the door without even putting her shoes on properly.

Soon, Yoomin’s eyes widened like a rabbit’s when she saw the person standing in front of the door.

“…Senior?”

It was Jaejun, holding something in both hands.
