W. It's Malrangi
"Mom-! Mommy!"
"Mom is here-"
I quickly picked up Jiyu, who was reaching out her arms and asking to be held, and left the house in a hurry. I had called the director yesterday and was planning to go to the kindergarten today to register her.
I liked the new neighborhood I moved into. It was quiet... and the neighbors seemed friendly. Well, it's only been a week since I moved in...
"Mom, are you here? Are you Jiyu? Hello, Jiyu~"
"Ahhhh-!!"
"Jiyu, you should say hello instead of hello"
Oh, sir. The director's expression was kind as he burst into laughter while looking at Jiyu, who was digging into my arms and shaking her head. Mother, please come this way.
As we headed to the counseling room, the director explained the paperwork and various other instructions. The kindergarten is quite large. Our Jiyu will have to adapt well.
""Mom, I have to go soon, so Teacher Jiyu will come instead of me."
"Ah.. yes"
Well, I already heard the basics anyway... so it doesn't matter. I patted Jiyu's back, who quickly fell asleep in my arms.
It was seriously cute. When I poked its chubby cheek, it flinched and then quietly whined. Hehe, so cute.
Knock knock-
"Oh, hello teacher....."
"..Han Yeo-ju?"
"..Uh.. Huh?"
It's Choi Yeonjun. Crazy, it was Choi Yeonjun. It's really Choi Yeonjun. Choi Yeonjun, who was standing there with a very surprised expression like me, was wearing a cute apron, unlike his serious face.
Hey, is he the teacher in charge?
Have you ever seen such a terrible relationship? Damn it. Choi Yeonjun and I broke up two years ago. Of course, at that time, I was
I didn't even have the guts to say, "I'm pregnant!!"
"..I didn't know you were here as a teacher"
"Then when did you get married? Your child seems to be quite grown."
"Al Baya?"
Jiyu actually looks exactly like Yeonjun. As Jiyu grew up, she started to resemble Yeonjun more and more, which made me feel a bit bitter. But I raised her all by myself, saying, “She’s precious, my child is beautiful.” Without even knowing that.
"Ugh...Mom-"
"Hey, Jiyu, are you awake?"
I hugged Jiyu again and patted her on the back. Jiyu blinked her eyes a few times and then realized there was a stranger in front of her, and stared at Choi Yeonjun.
"Hello!!!"
"... hi"
Do you know? That you're a kid? Since I'm the only one who knows the truth, it felt strange that there were three of us in one space.
I have a child..and a father and a mother;
What kind of opening and closing scene is this?
"I'm going."
"Just a moment, lady"
"..what"
If you have something to say, say it quickly. I deliberately avoided looking at Choi Yeonjun, who was jumping up with me and grabbing my shoulder. Meanwhile, I wiped the mouth of the child who was drooling and squirming in my arms. Then, my whole body froze at Choi Yeonjun’s words.
"..Where's the baby's father?"
"..."
"Who is the baby's father?"
You son of a bitch... I hid my feelings of sadness at Choi Yeonjun's serious question and answered nonchalantly.
"Stay home"
"..."
Of course that's bullshit. The kid's father is right in front of me, so there's no way he'd be home. Choi Yeonjun, who was silent for a moment at my answer, just stared at me as I got up and packed my bag.
"Hey, let's pretend the kindergarten registration never happened..."
"Why did you give birth to me and raise me alone? Why don't you just break up?"
"..uh?"
"I'm Jiyu's teacher. It clearly says on your documents that you're a single mom."
"..."
Ah, I'm so embarrassed... My lies were immediately exposed. I felt ashamed for no reason. I had nothing more to say, so I just looked at the ground, and Choi Yeonjun opened his mouth again.
"Whose child is that? If she was two years old, we would have broken up by then."
"..I don't know"
"Han Yeo-ju. Tell me honestly so I can help you."
"What are you helping me with? What difference will it make if I tell you now?"
"If I were the father, things would be different!!"
"..."
When I flinched, Jiyu must have felt it too, as she was surprised and hugged me tightly. Speak quietly. How can a teacher yell in front of a child? Choi Yeonjun bit his lip at my words.
"Jiyu, are you playing with that toy over there?"
"yes!"
Jiyu struggled to get out of my arms at my words. I carefully placed her on the floor. After confirming that she was playing well on her own with the toys in the corner, she immediately hardened her expression and looked at Choi Yeonjun.
"That day, when you failed the test and drank alcohol"
"..."
".. I told you to be careful."
"Hey you!... What if I say it now?"
"Because I gave birth to it and raised it on my own. It's my child."
You understand? You don't have to pretend to be the kid's father now.
After saying that, I got up from my seat. As I was about to call Jiyu, who was sitting and playing alone, Choi Yeonjun grabbed my arm.
"Don't talk nonsense, Han Yeo-ju. Tell me your home address and pack your bags and come in today."
