Jiwoo stared at him as if she had just been struck on the head. It felt like he had come with a plan from the very beginning. "Do you even realize how cruel you are?" "I don’t know by whose standards you’re judging me, but by mine, this is nothing compared to what you’ve done." Her fingertips trembled, but Jiwoo forced herself to steady her breathing. After all, the only thing he wanted was Jeonghu. The mention of marriage was nothing…-

"Oh my! Look who’s here!" At the front gate, Jeongsuk greeted Taemu with a warm smile. "Hello, Mother." The way he called her Mother seemed to please her, and her smile widened. "Why are you still standing out here? Come inside, quickly!" Jeongsuk, still smiling, then spotted Jeonghu nestled in Junseok’s arms. Her expression faltered for a moment. "Jeonghu! Come to Grandma! Hurry!" She reached out her hands, but…

Miju believed that marrying into a prestigious family and giving birth to Taemu had fulfilled her duty. After childbirth, it took her a long time to recover, and her body never quite returned to how it was before. This was one of the main reasons she had no desire for another child. From the very beginning, a second child had never been in her plans. Her father-in-law had never approved of her. He constantly found fault with her and interfered in everything. Even when…

Standing in the rooftop garden, Jiwoo gazed down and recalled the moments of giving birth to and raising Junghoo. Having her parents by her side had shielded her from the full weight of hardship. But oddly enough, the most painful moments came when she saw children holding their fathers hands while walking along the park trails. Junghoo didn't even have a father, yet the first word he ever spoke wasn’t "Mom", it was "Dad." That night, after putting him to sleep, she…

The cafe, nestled in a secluded area, had an empty parking lot, as expected. The building’s exterior looked pristine, as if it had been newly constructed. However, the absence of customers inside made Jiwoo uneasy. “What are you doing? Come in.” Taemu, who had stepped inside first, turned back and called out to Jiwoo, who remained frozen at the entrance. As she cautiously approached, his piercing gaze lingered on her before he finally stepped aside,…

The funeral procession finally ended late in the afternoon. The sky remained clear all day, without a single cloud. The laborers who had pre dug the grave the day before had expected the ground to be frozen solid, but to their surprise, the work was easier than anticipated. They had worried that even a backhoe might struggle to break through the winter hardened earth, yet it had given way effortlessly. "Sometimes, when you do this kind of work, things…

Jiwoo stood frozen in her mourning attire, her son clinging to the folds of her skirt. Then, she saw it. A small, vivid red birthmark peeking from behind Jeonghu’s ear. For a moment, it felt as if something had struck the back of Taemu’s head. That birthmark,he had seen it before. His grandfather had it. His father had it. And so did he. A distinctive mark, passed down through generations of the Han family. A fleeting thought…

Junseok arrived at the funeral hall past midnight, having been delayed on the highway late into the night. As he had expected, the hall was quiet. He had asked his father to send funeral notices to Jiwoo’s father’s acquaintances. Everyone in the town knew Jiwoo’s father, and since his own father had been close with him, it was something that would have been done even without Junseok’s request. The snowfall hadn’t let up, and he assumed that no…

Jiwoo was on her way to the company cafeteria during lunchtime, texting her mother when someone lightly bumped into her side. It was Assistant Manager Lim, a close colleague from her department. As a university senior, he had helped her a lot since she first joined the company. "Oh, and he’s younger than you too! Our department is full of old fashioned men, so this is some much needed eye candy," Lim teased. As they approached the cafeteria, Junseok, who was…

Jiwoo didn’t say anything and simply gave a bitter smile. No one in Haeju would know that she had given birth and was raising a child alone. She had left in a hurry, packing her things as if she were running away in the middle of the night. She didn’t want to explain her situation to anyone. People back home probably just thought her parents had left Haeju to support their daughter, who was living alone in a new city. "How are your parents…
