Chapter 58

Yoomin immediately got up from her seat and approached the door, asking politely.

“Yes. What is it?”

“Please have some of this. Young Master Haneul likes sweet things.”

Yoomin received the tray containing a plate of strawberries with both hands.

Strangely, the maid didn’t leave the room until Yoomin took the tray and approached Haneul.

It was slightly annoying, but since she wasn’t stealing wages, she just let it be.

“Teacher, please eat them all. I’m not hungry.”

“Did you eat a lot for lunch?”

“Not really, but I’m excited to play piano after so long that I can’t think about anything else.”

Yoomin smiled.

“You say it’s been a long time, but we played piano together at the academy just last week. Did you forget already?”

“I didn’t forget… but I should try.”

Yoomin praised him for being admirable and picked up a piece of fruit with a fork that the maid had brought.

She handed it to Haneul and said.

“Try just one. Eating sweet things helps your brain work better so you can read sheet music well too.”

“Teacher, please eat first.”

“I’ll eat if Haneul eats. Ah.”

When Yoomin offered the strawberry again, Haneul smiled bashfully and took the strawberry to eat.

“What kind of fruit did you mainly eat in America?”

“Strawberries. They were always in the refrigerator.”

“Oh my. So that’s why you didn’t want to eat them. You don’t have to eat them if you don’t want to.”

When Yoomin fretted apologetically, Haneul picked up another strawberry with his fork, put it in his mouth, and said.

“It’s okay. I never get tired of eating these strawberries.”

“Really? Then do you want to eat mine too?”

“What about you, Teacher?”

“Just watching Haneul eat makes me full?”

“That’s a lie. My dad said that food should be shared regardless of who it is or their age.”

Yoomin smiled gently and whispered.

“You remember your father’s words well, how admirable.”

It was when she was watching Haneul shyly munching on strawberries, finding it cute.

Yoomin was startled by the presence she felt from the door and looked in that direction.

The maid who hadn’t left yet was looking at the two of them with a pleased smile.

Yoomin was so surprised that she involuntarily screamed.

“Oh my!”

At that, the maid’s shoulders jerked greatly.

Yoomin immediately got up from her seat and bowed her head.

“…S-sorry. I thought you had already left the room.”

Then the maid answered with a kind smile and said.

“Not at all. The guardian was curious about whether Haneul was doing well and if he was getting along with his teacher.”

“Ah. Um… First of all, Haneul is doing well as you can see. Look, he’s already eaten half the strawberries.”

Just then, Haneul called out to Yoomin at the perfect moment.

“Teacher! I saved half of yours. If you don’t eat it, it’ll all be Haneul’s!”

Yoomin laughed briefly, then straightened her expression and asked.

“Ah. Would you like to try some strawberries too, ma’am?”

When Yoomin suddenly offered strawberries, the maid waved her hands.

“I’m fine, so please enjoy them together. We have other fruits too, shall I bring more?”

“No, it’s okay.”

At Yoomin’s answer, the maid smiled, bowed silently, and left the room.

Yoomin returned to her seat while tilting her head curiously.

Seeing this, Haneul asked.

“What’s wrong, Teacher?”

“Hm?”

“You were looking at the maid and tilting your head like this.”

Haneul tilted his head exactly like Yoomin as he answered.

Yoomin smiled awkwardly and replied.

“Well… I was just wondering if even the maids in wealthy families are elegant.”

After saying it, Yoomin realized belatedly that she was sharing such thoughts with a ten-year-old and quickly changed the subject.

“Haneul eats fruit well? What other fruits do you like?”

“I like all fruits. I just like all food.”

“Really? Then I’ll buy you snacks next time I come. Is there anything you want to try in Korea?”

Suddenly Haneul’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Yoomin.

“I want that thing.”

“What thing?”

“You know, there’s this mister in front of the academy who sells things from inside a red box. Every time I passed by, there was always this savory smell…”

“You mean chrysanthemum bread? If you eat that, you’ll really taste Korean bakery.”

Yoomin smiled and wrinkled her nose.

“I’ll buy some for you next time I come.”

Just then, the sound of slippers came from outside again.

Did the maid come again?

Or did Jaejun tell her to monitor me?

Yoomin felt a strange feeling and tilted her head before focusing on Haneul again.

* * *

Jaejun was looking over documents when he finally threw down his pen with a thud.

He leaned his upper body completely against the backrest, tilted his head toward the ceiling, and closed his eyes.

Was the problem that he didn’t see Hong Yoomin yesterday?

From the moment he came to work in the morning, he kept thinking about Yoomin and couldn’t concentrate on work at all.

However, since he could only see Yoomin with peace of mind after finishing his assigned work, he worked with more concentration than during the college entrance exam.

It was the same during the afternoon meeting.

Whether he closed his eyes, looked at the wall, looked at documents, or looked at the meeting facilitator’s face, he kept thinking of Hong Yoomin who had been in his arms the day before yesterday, so he even pinched his thigh while trying to concentrate on the meeting.

How fiercely he had fought with himself all day.

Just when it was time to leave work and he was about to go home, there was an urgent business proposal review requested before leaving.

He tried to review it with high concentration again, but every time he turned a page, various expressions and movements of Hong Yoomin came to mind.

Had he been possessed by some pervert without knowing it?

How could this be happening?

During the 5 years he spent without seeing Hong Yoomin, he had never been so crazy with sexual desire that he imagined a woman’s naked body.

“This is driving me crazy, really.”

If he had known he would match this well with Hong Yoomin and wouldn’t be able to break away from her, he would have had a relationship with her after holding a wedding ceremony.

He couldn’t turn back time either…

He squeezed his eyes shut, opened them, and took a deep breath.

Then he picked up his pen again.

Review quickly and go home to Yoomin.

Only by going there and holding her once more would this damn desire subside a little.

If he repeated that a few times, it would get better.

He would regain his daily routine.

Like himself just a few days ago, who perfectly completed work at the company without any gaps.

It was when he made this resolution and turned his gaze to the documents.

A knock sounded.

“Vice President. This is Secretary Kwon.”

“Come in.”

Jaejun remained frozen in that position, watching Kwon Secretary approach his desk.

“Vice President. How is the review of the documents requested by the electrical team going?”

For the first time in his life encountering a difficult problem, Jaejun threw his pen again like a petulant child.

Noticing from his behavior that the review wasn’t going smoothly, Kwon Secretary carefully observed Jaejun’s mood.

“What is it. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

“Ah. I…”

As Jaejun’s gaze became menacing, Kwon Secretary straightened his shoulders and spoke.

“It’s 6:30 now, would it be alright if I leave before the President just for today?”

Jaejun asked for the reason with his expression.

“Today is my mother’s birthday!”

“Of course you should go. Go ahead. Use the card I gave you to get her a gift. Did you buy the refrigerator?”

“Yes. I placed the order and it’s scheduled to be delivered this Saturday…!”

Kwon Secretary, who answered energetically in a military-like upright posture, added more.

“A lot of furniture was delivered to Yoomin’s house today too! It seems like almost everything necessary has been brought in.”

“This quickly?”

“Most things were already available. More than that, Vice President.”

“Yeah.”

“You asked me to look into Yoomin’s Grandfather in detail, didn’t you?”

Jaejun put life back into his eyes that had been looking at Kwon Secretary without focus.

“Yeah. Did you find out?”

“Should I report now? Or should I report tomorrow since you’re busy?”

“Do it now. I need to cool my head anyway.”

“They say Yoomin’s Grandfather’s side took over the work that Yoomin’s Father’s factory was doing after the fire.”

“You mean Grandfather’s side took over the factory that Yoomin’s father was running?”

“Um, no. The businesses are completely different. Everything from the patented technology that Yoomin’s Father built to all the supply clients moved identically to Grandfather’s Company. They left the shell as is and only took out the contents.”
