Chapter 19 “Please wait here.” The secretary led her to a small room connected to the garage. With nothing but a table and a sofa inside, it appeared to be a sitting room for visitors. Eum let out a trembling breath as she waited for Chairman Seong. Teacher. Just trust me. Eum had resolved never to let him shoulder such an unreasonable burden alone. She would soon be an adult, after all. She could handle her own problems. A little while later, she heard someone approaching from outside…-

Chapter 18 “……What?” “I’m going to make it happen.” After saying that, Ji-hoon casually glanced across at Chang-shin. The man stared blankly into the air as though he had lost the ability to speak. Eventually, he moved his dry lips. “That’s impossible.” He shook his head helplessly. “Once Father makes up his mind about something, nothing I say can change it……” Ji-hoon understood what he meant. No matter what Ji-hoon did, he would never be able to defeat…

Chapter 17 —Teacher. This is Ji-hoon. Chang-shin was caught somewhat off guard by the phone call he received as soon as he got out of his car. Ji-hoon said there was something he wanted to discuss with him. —Are you free tomorrow? I'll come to your school. “Could you tell me what this is about first? If this is about Bora...” —That issue too. He had already heard from his wife, Ju-yeon, about what had happened at school earlier that day. More precisely, he learned that all…

Chapter 16 Both Bora, who had suddenly been slapped, and Ji-hoon were frozen in shock. Perhaps the sharp sound of the slap had leaked through the door, because the murmuring outside suddenly fell silent. In the suffocating silence, with everyone holding their breath, Eum spoke. “You must have been happy, thinking you'd ruined my life.” Eum was no longer hurt or crushed by despair. Her voice was calm, but somehow that made it feel even stronger and more powerful. “But thanks to you,…

Chapter 15 Bora gazed at Jihoon sitting across from her with moved, almost reverent eyes. Her pride had been wounded after the way he had treated her in the rain some time ago, so she had never imagined that a day would come when he would be the one to call for her first. As I thought. After seeing me that day, he must have kept thinking about me. She was excited. She had already been wondering how she could approach him, especially after her mother had advised her to start by dating…

Chapter 14 The next morning, Ieum left the house early. She had thought the world would change once the CSAT was over, but it hadn’t. She took the same bus, walked along the same route to school, and passed through the main gate with students wearing the same uniforms as always. “Yeon Ieum! Is it true that you messed up the CSAT?” For some reason, word of her situation had spread throughout the entire class. Apparently, there must have been someone who witnessed what happened at the…

Chapter 13 After finishing the entire hamburger set, Ieum declined Jihoon’s offer to walk her home and took the subway for the first time in a while. She decided to go to a university district she normally had no reason to visit and look around. She didn’t want to go home early, and she also needed some time alone to sort out her thoughts. “Just because you fell once doesn’t mean your life is over.” “I’ll help you.” “Life normally starts at twenty. Got it?” Jihoon’s voice…

Chapter 12 “I’m late.” But Ieum had to face the crushing realization that it was already too late. Clutching the temporary student ID Jihoon had given her, she had run like a madwoman to find the examination administration office, but they told her she was already too late. “Please, I—huff! I had a reason…” The staff member felt sorry for Ieum, who was gasping for breath after running all the way there, but shook his head as if there was nothing he could do. “I’m sorry,…

Chapter 11 She hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep. The day before the CSAT, she absolutely had to sleep well to be in good condition, but she kept waking up throughout the early hours of the morning. It wasn't because she was nervous. Tap. The sound that kept reaching her whenever she was about to fall asleep. Tap, tap, trrrrr……. The noise periodically seeped through, as though someone were playing with a ball outside her bedroom door. She wanted to find out what the…

Chapter 10 The CSAT was only three days away. These days, self-study had become the norm even at school. Eum left the house with a scarf wrapped tightly around her neck and a mask covering her face. The air had suddenly grown so cold that she could truly feel the meaning behind the phrase CSAT cold snap. Hunching her shoulders as she made her way toward the bus stop, she suddenly heard a short honk. “Huh?” She turned around with a hopeful feeling, and there stood a familiar…
