Chapter 60 - You are interested, mentor? (1/2)
Ahn Hana looks into the fridge. She sighs and takes the leftover food from the last night. She sits on the couch and eats the food while rereading the case. She must talk to the victim's classmates. Then, it would have been better if the victim woke up. Is her luck great?
She doesn't feel sleepy. She glances at the food again. She places the chopsticks down and checks her phone. There are some messages.
How long? What kind of chaos must she create? Why isn't he coming back? He told her that he would wait for her. Then, why isn't he here already?
She recalls the night. She has escaped that night. Now, she is back. Her son is hidden in a safe place. She must have offended him.
What must she do?
”Mentor.” Do Sejin enters the room with a wide smile. ”You are back early.”
She gives him a nod and says nothing. Her dark eyes follow him as he goes to his room. After 15 minutes, he comes out of his room. Ahn Hana hasn't moved from the couch.
”What should I make for dinner tonight?” Do Sejin asks her loudly and enters the kitchen.
”I will cook.” Ahn Hana is fast on her feet, ignoring the pain. She takes the knife from his hand. ”I don't want to turn you into my chef.”
Do Sejin smiles mildly. His smile doesn't meet his eyes. He watches her chop the vegetables into unshapely pieces. She throws in all the ingredients in the container and boils it. That's it. Dinner is ready.
She sets the table. When he doesn't move, she asks him quietly. ”Don't want to eat?”
He shakes his head. Can he dare not to eat? He takes the spoon and digs into the food. His tongue goes through the ride through the depth of the hell. Though Ahn Hana has changed, her horrible cooking didn't change.
”How is it?” She asks him with a small voice.
He chuckles. ”Delicious.”
”You still lie.” There is a faint smile on her lips. There is a hint of something unfamiliar in those eyes.
Do Sejin wonders about this change, but he dares not ask. ”I am sorry.”
She stops eating. ”For what?”
”For not following our agreement.” He stares at her. ”For lying to you.”
”You are forgiven.” Her voice is easy. ”You paid a great price for your mistakes.”
