The heroine wakes up tossing and turning and answers the phone without checking who it is.
"hello.."
📞It's me
"...dad?"
📞Yeah.
"Why did you call?"
📞Are you doing what I said?"
"Yes, of course."
📞I don't want much. Just find the instigator and hold on to him so he doesn't run away.
"yes..."
📞Even if they give their heart to you, you can't give your heart to them. You know that, right?
"..."
📞Why is there no answer?
"all right..."
📞Yeah. I sent my living expenses to the card today, so use it well.
"yes."
📞Then, good work.
"Dad too."
As soon as the phone call ended, Yeoju let out a deep sigh. She placed her arm on her forehead and fell into thought.
'Dad... what should I do? I know I shouldn't give them my heart, but why do I feel like I should?'
The heroine, who was rubbing her forehead, which was throbbing as if she had a headache, thought about it, and soon shook her head and got up.
The heroine got out of bed and went outside. She glanced into the next room, wondering if the kids were there. They seemed to be sound asleep.
A snoring sound was heard. The heroine walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and started preparing a delicious meal for the children.
As time passes and the grilled mackerel, steamed eggs, and tuna kimchi stew are completed, Yeoju wipes her sweaty forehead and shows a proud smile.
I finished setting the table and was about to leave to wake the kids, but then I heard someone walking towards me.
"What are you doing here?"
"Huh? I'm going to cook for you guys."
"...You did it all?"
"Then who will do it all?"
As Taehyung walked over, rubbing his eyes, he looked surprised at the table. He was surprised by Yeoju's cooking skills, but he was also surprised by Yeoju's ability to prepare food for us.
He seemed more surprised that a meal had been prepared. Taehyung, who was slowly looking at the table, soon started to feel hungry as his stomach growled.The growling sound was small, but it was so quiet that the female protagonist must have heard it, and she spoke to Taehyung with a smile on her face.
"Are you hungry? Hurry up and call the kids over. Let's eat together."
"okay."
Taehyung goes to the room and starts waking up the kids. The kids start to come out to the kitchen one by one, rubbing their eyes and dragging their tired bodies.
The children all look surprised when they sit down and see the table.
"Wow. Did your sister make this?"
"Of course. The food is getting cold. Let's eat quickly."
After saying, “I will eat well,” the children pick up their spoons and begin eating the rice and stew.The female protagonist smiles slightly again, as if she feels proud of the children eating well. As the food on the table gradually disappears, one by one, they get up.They begin to clean up. Yeoju, seeing the children eating, stands up and clears the table. Jeongguk grabs Yeoju's arm as she clears the table.
"I'll clean up. You rest."
"no."
"I told you I'd clean it up?"
"...Okay then"
Yeoju was speechless at Jeongguk's firm words and walked from the kitchen to the living room. While Jeongguk and Taehyung were washing the dishes, the children and YeojuWe start by sitting together in the living room and watching TV. Watching TV together like this makes me feel like the kids and the female lead have quickly become close.
Taehyung and Jungkook come into the living room, their hands completely wet, having finished washing the dishes. They're probably sitting together, watching TV intently.
The heroine suddenly asks the children a question.
"But aren't you guys going to work?"
He looked at the woman who seemed flustered, as if he didn't know the woman would ask him this question, but pretended not to be flustered. Then, among them, Taehyung looked at the woman with a hardened face and said.
"How do you know that?"
"Huh? Are you going to work part-time?"
"huh."
"The landlady told you that?"
"Ah...fuck"
Taehyung ruffled his hair and muttered a curse so Yeoju couldn't hear. It seemed like he didn't want Yeoju to find out that the way they were making money was wrong.Then, the children check the time or watch TV, and when it is time to go to work, they get up from their seats, go into their rooms, change clothes, and come out.The female protagonist grabs Taehyung's collar and says, thinking that the children will be bored and have nothing to do when they go out.
"Hey!! I'm bored.."
"whatever."
"I'm bored!"
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Take me too."
"Where?"
"You guys are working part-time."
"What? Are you crazy? Why are you going to the place where we work?"
"Then what are you doing when you're bored at home alone?"
"Go to sleep."
"Hey... Do you think I'm some kind of sleepy person? No! I want to go too!"
"no..."
"okay."
"Wow, really?"
"Hey, Park Jimin, are you crazy?"
Taehyung and Yeoju were arguing about going to work, but Jimin cut him off before Taehyung could say no and asked him to go with him.
Taehyung looks at Jimin like that and turns serious. The kids shrug their shoulders as if it doesn't matter, and Taehyung ruffles his hair as if telling them to do whatever they want.At Jimin's suggestion to go together, the corners of Yeoju's mouth begin to rise, as if she is in a good mood. But Namjoon, who had been thinking quietly, looks at Yeoju and speaks.
"But, sis. Our part-time jobs are different. Where should we go?"
After hearing Namjoon's words, the female lead is thinking hard about where to go. Jimin hesitates for a moment and then grabs the female lead's arm, pulling her towards him and saying,
"Come with me."
At that moment, Yeo-ju's eyes widened in surprise when Jimin pulled her towards him and said, "Let's go together."The kids all look at Jimin and speak with serious expressions at Jimin's words.
"Isn't that kid a retard?"
"Hey. Why is your sister going there, you crazy bastard?"
"You can't go there, it's dangerous."
"Just you alone."
"You think before you speak, right?"
"That crazy guy."
Perhaps because Jimin worked at a club, the kids didn't react well. But Yeoju pretended not to know anything and just sat there.
"Why can't you take Kim Yeo-ju with you?"
When Jimin shrugs his shoulders as if to say, "What's the problem?", Jungkook looks at Jimin as if he's worried and says,
"If something happens to Kim Yeo-ju, will you take responsibility?"
"Okay. I'll take responsibility."
"Oh my god."
Jungkook turns his head away from Jimin and curses, but Jimin nods, thinking, "I guess he'll figure it out later."
"Let's just go with Park Jimin. If we keep going like this, we'll be late for work."
"Yeah. It'll be okay since I'll be doing it with Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin anyway."
The female protagonists must have been just looking at each other, but they smile again at the children's positive words. After telling the children that she would change clothes soon and come out, she went into her room.He begins to change his clothes. As he does so, his expression changes for a moment, and he becomes deep in thought.
"If I go to their part-time job, I'll find out what they do...? But... why do I feel so bad? I can get promoted if I find out what they're doing and who the mastermind is."It's a good opportunity, so why do I feel bad and unhappy?"
"Hey! What kind of clothes have you been wearing for so long?"
"Hey!! I'm all dressed up! I'm going out."
The female protagonist, who had been in deep thought, came to her senses when Taehyung told her to come out quickly and came out quickly.Yeoju said goodbye to the kids and followed Jimin and Taehyung to the place where she works.
