Chapter 57

Jaejun covered his eyes with his palm and waved his other hand dismissively as if telling him to go away.

“You seem to be… thinking. There’s about 20 minutes until your next appointment, so I’ll come back to get you in 15 minutes.”

Yongil left.

Now alone in the conference room, Jaejun pulled his chair back.

Looking at the area that had risen enough to tear his pants, he called her name resentfully.

“Ha, seriously Hong Yoomin.”

Only Hong Yoomin could make him this ridiculous.

Even during college, she turned him into such a crazy fool that his parents would have fainted if they saw him.

Since mixing bodies with her yesterday, she had turned him into someone so obsessed he couldn’t even focus on work.

Now that he had met Hong Yoomin again, it was truly amazing how he had spent those 5 years without her.

Everything was revolving around her.

If he was going to struggle this much over Hong Yoomin, why had he spouted such nonsense about not being able to go straight forward?

In his heart, he wanted to confess right now that he would only look at her until death and keep her as his partner.

However, he needed time.

He needed time to identify the founder of the Paper Company that had put Father in trouble, to be wary of Grandmother, and to create safeguards to neutralize Mother who was trying to put him on the marriage market.

He also needed to secure time to organize Yoomin’s surroundings so there would be no problems with his plan to make her his wife.

“Phew.”

Let’s just endure until then.

Let’s maintain this line just a little longer.

Having succeeded in clearing his head while enduring the pain below and calming it down, he stood up from his seat.

The next day.

Yoomin put on the most modest-looking outfit among the clothes she had shopped for with Secretary Kwon and left the house.

When she opened the gate and went out, a kind-looking Mister who had been waiting in front of a black sedan spoke to her.

“Miss Hong Yoomin?”

Seeing his neat appearance and how he called her “Miss,” it seemed to be Driver Park that Jaejun had mentioned.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Park Gicheol, who will be responsible for your commute starting today.”

“Hello, Driver. Please take good care of me too.”

He opened the back door with a kind smile.

While receiving luxurious treatment on the way to Seongbuk-dong, Yoomin took out her phone to text Jaejun.

She had expected Jaejun to come last night, but received word that he couldn’t come due to heavy work at the Company.

While she felt relieved since her body hadn’t recovered from being tormented by him all dawn the day before yesterday, the disappointment of not seeing him was so great that she had tossed and turned a lot yesterday.

Containing that longing, Yoomin composed a text.

Senior. Did you get to work safely? I met Driver Park and I’m heading to your house. I’ll do well with Seol Haneul’s first lesson and come back!

After writing it all and before pressing the send button, she changed “Senior” back to “Oppa.”

Why did the word “Senior” feel so stiff in texts?

Just because she hadn’t seen him for a day, it felt like the distance had grown, and calling him Senior made him feel even more distant.

She had lived well without him until now, so how could things change so drastically overnight?

From waking up in the morning until closing her eyes at night, she was thinking only of him.

The thoughts she used to have while staying at Yoomin’s family home – “How should I act today to avoid eating humble pie?” “What scheme should I come up with today to rest without being dragged around by Hong Suji?” – now felt like someone else’s problems.

By the way, I wonder if Father is doing well.

Yoomin’s family must still be waiting for her to come in front of the Hospital, so she can’t even go see him.

And if she calls the caregiver, they’ll put Father on the phone, but what would she explain this situation to Father as?

She pressed her phone firmly against her heavy chest area and swallowed her worries.

How long had she been agonizing like this?

At the Driver’s words that they had arrived, Yoomin got out of the car.

A high Wall and a sturdy-looking black iron Gate spread out before Yoomin.

The Gate was so magnificent that her first thought was “Am I allowed to enter?” so she composed herself from a few steps away.

It’s all just people’s homes anyway, so what’s the big deal?

She pressed the doorbell.

The voice of a woman in her 40s or 50s could be heard.

-Who is it?

“I’m the teacher who’s supposed to tutor piano for student Seol Haneul who lives here. Is this Seol Haneul’s house?”

No immediate answer came.

Yoomin turned around, wondering if she had come to the wrong house.

Driver Park was calmly sitting in the car with a composed face, watching Yoomin.

If she had come to the wrong place, Driver Park wouldn’t be calmly waiting for her to enter.

Clank-.

That’s when it happened.

The Gate opened and a middle-aged woman who appeared to be a Maid revealed herself.

“Please come in.”

At her gesture, Yoomin said “Excuse me” and stepped into the wide Yard.

The grass was lush and green, and well-maintained trees were planted at regular intervals inside the Wall.

Seeing the spacious garden and two-story Mansion like watching a chairman’s house in a drama, Jaejun’s wealth became newly real to her.

Then the Entrance opened and someone appeared.

It was Seol Haneul.

“Oh? Seol Haneul!”

“Teacher!”

When Yoomin smiled happily and waved her hand, Seol Haneul welcomed her in the same way.

Although she hadn’t directly asked Jaejun how he found her when she was kidnapped by Yun Bosal, she had been thinking that Seol Haneul had probably unintentionally played that role.

Yoomin, who suddenly found Seol Haneul even more adorable, quickly ran up the Staircase and grabbed Seol Haneul’s hands, shaking them.

“Have you been well? We haven’t seen each other for only a week, but your expression looks even better?”

“It wasn’t good until yesterday. It’s because I’m seeing Teacher.”

Yoomin smiled and bent down on her knees.

When she became similar in eye level with Seol Haneul, she very gently grabbed and released Seol Haneul’s cheek while saying.

“Oh my. Even giving lip service to make Teacher feel good.”

“It’s true!”

Seol Haneul blushed and entered the house first.

Yoomin closed the Entrance that Seol Haneul had left wide open and went inside.

After passing through a luxurious Hallway surrounded by wooden walls on both sides, she came to a Living Room with large windows that clearly overlooked the Yard outside.

The Living Room was very spacious with a large Sofa placed in front of a big TV.

Even though there wasn’t much furniture, it was a place that exuded luxury.

Then she saw Seol Haneul coming out of a room next to the Staircase, holding someone’s hand.

The person Seol Haneul came out holding hands with was an Elderly Man who appeared to be in his 70s with completely white hair.

Although his hair was definitely white and he had quite a few wrinkles on his face, his back was very straight and he was tall, looking quite healthy.

The Elderly Man, who had been dragged out while talking to Seol Haneul about something, was startled when he saw Yoomin.

Yoomin quickly bent her waist to greet him.

“Oh, hello!”

After greeting, Yoomin looked at Seol Haneul and mouthed “Who is he?” while glancing at the Elderly Man several times.

It was the moment when Seol Haneul, who read that signal, opened his mouth to say something.

Suddenly the Elderly Man bent his waist and whispered something in Seol Haneul’s ear.

What?

Is he someone who can’t speak?

However, Seol Haneul spoke with a composed face as if he hadn’t heard anything.

“Teacher. This person is a Maid here.”

Yoomin immediately understood and bowed her head once more.

“Hello, I’m Hong Yoomin, who will be taking charge of Seol Haneul’s piano tutoring starting today.”

At Yoomin’s polite greeting, the Elderly Man slowly nodded his head.

For a Maid, he had a very unapproachable atmosphere and presence.

Is he the person who has worked here the longest?

Just as she was thinking that.

Seol Haneul approached Yoomin and gestured for her to enter the room.

Yoomin bowed to the elderly man once more before following Seol Haneul.

After explaining to Seol Haneul the curriculum for how the tutoring sessions would proceed going forward, just as they were about to release a week’s worth of accumulated chatter.

Knock knock-.

Along with the knocking sound, the maid grandmother from earlier opened the door.
