Embarrassed by her action, Yongsun slowly pulled her hand and murmured:

__ I'm so sorry! I keep acting like a creep but I swear...It's just that I feel such a strong connection with you. I mean...through your art. You've touched my life in so many ways with your words.

The author held the brunette's hand and responded with a soft voice:

__ That's okay. I think the world became so dark because people are afraid of receiving and giving tenderness. Just be yourself around me.

__ I guess you're right. To be honest, I was one of those people. I've changed when...

__ You became a mom.__ Moonbyul smiled charismatically.

__ Yes. I've become a better human being thanks to that precious tiny treasure.__ The older one felt a tear jumping down her face.

__ This is certainly the most amazing thing. For the people who dream of being a parent.

__ Indeed.

__ So, what do you do for a living?

__ I'm a literature teacher. But I chose to work privately to be able to be as present as possible in Behan's life.

__ That's so adorable! You must be an amazing mom.

Blushing, Yongsun murmured:

__ I try to.

__ But don't you have a significant other to help you with the baby? You don't have to answer if this is too intrusive.

Laughing, the teacher replied humorously:

__ I have 2 significant others: Behan's nanny and the housekeeper. Without them, I don't how I would handle everything.

__ That's so sweet though. I know how hard it is to be a single parent.

Losing her smile, the older one asked:

__ So you didn't have a partner during the hard times?

Sipping her tea, the charming writer commented:

__ I don't know if you realized, but I'm a lesbian. And living in Korea, I wasn't lucky enough to find someone with similar values and interests. So my girlfriend left me when I decided to become a mother.

Yongsun was so touched that the woman was so open to a stranger that she couldn't hold it any longer.

__ I have something to say but I'm afraid that you're gonna be sure that I'm a stalker now...

Instead of getting suspicious, the writer laughed and shrugged:

__ I told you to be yourself, woman. Spit it out 

Breathing in and out, the stunning brunette confessed:

__ I saw you on the news. Before that, I only knew the author who wrote such heartwarming tales. But that day, I saw your face for the first time, heard about your tragedy, and felt compelled to get to know you even more...

__ Oh, I see. You felt sympathy, right? This is very gentle of you. Don't feel embarrassed for being a nice person, Yongsun.__ Moonbyul slightly squeezed the teacher's hand with affection.

Feeling emotional, the older one expressed her deepest thought:

__ You're so brave and generous, Byul-YI. Fighting for all t
