82. Don't disturb
"I have a salmon patch on my forehead. "Like when I was young."
Salmon on your forehead?
"A seven-year-old already knows how to play baduk."
You even play baduk?
Jaekwang was once again excited by Jiheon's story. Jaekwang looked at the photo for a long time. He looked at the child intently, as if counting the number of eyelashes.
The child was so cute that it made my heart ache. She's very cute... ... .
'This cute child is Jiheon's daughter?'
Jaekwang's eyes went back and forth between the child and Jiheon's faces in the photo. I became even more absorbed as I compared the child and son in the photo carefully.
Have I ever seen that child's cute face?
Speaking of blood, they look similar, but one is very cute and the other is not cute at all, so I honestly couldn't decide.
'Does she resemble her mother...? ... .'
Jaekwang barely put down the photo and cleared his throat. You should not judge hastily. First of all, as a father, you must show a rational side.
"Is this your child? "Are you sure about that?"
"yes. that's right. "It's only a small part of it, but I definitely remember it."
"But it might not be a real memory. "Seven years have passed."
"... ... ."
"First, we have to take a paternity test."
"Well, there's a bit of a problem."
"... ... ."
"Because the child doesn't like me yet."
"why."
"The child has been without his father for seven years."
After a while, Jaekwang, who had been staring blankly, nodded as if he understood Jiheon's feelings.
"... ... I guess so. "It must be difficult to immediately accept your father, who appears for the first time in seven years."
However, he emphasized the principle with dignity.
"But you still have to do what you have to do."
"yes. I will do it soon. However, I think you need to be close to your child to some extent. That's why I'm telling my father first."
A while ago, Ji-heon told Jae-gwang the truth about everything, but he avoided talking about Young-mi as much as possible. He said that the reason he and Noon broke up was because of a car accident. He said they broke up because they couldn't contact him after that.
Even though the current Ji-heon was very resentful of his mother, he couldn't give the impression that he was criticizing her right now.
Talking about unprovable facts can be counterproductive. It was a problem that, if he was not careful, his father might also be opposed to his story.
He had to tell the truth as much as possible without touching her sensitive parts and without being transparent about what he currently thinks of his mother.
"Actually, my mother secretly took a paternity test."
"So your mother knew?"
"yes. I didn't ask how much you know, but it seems like you did your own research. However, when her mother checked it, it turned out that there was no possibility that Jian was her biological child."
