Resonance

Hidden Reflections

Inside their cozy home, Hyu-Joo couldn't contain her smile, which had been ignited by her unexpected encounter with In-Sung. However, her son Jung-Ha, with his keen intuition, immediately noticed the change in his mother's demeanor.

Jung-Ha, fresh out of the shower and wearing a curious expression, approached his mom. "Mom, why are you smiling like that?" he asked, his concern evident in his voice.

Hyu-Joo tried to deflect his worry with a playful tone. "Oh, it's nothing, sweetheart. We just had a lot of customers today at the restaurant."

But Jung-Ha was having none of it. He reached for her hand and started massaging it gently, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Mom, you've been working so hard lately. You need to relax more. I can see right through that smile."

Hyu-Joo chuckled at her son's perceptiveness. "You're right, Jung-Ha. Maybe I should take a break soon."

Jung-Ha continued to massage her hand, his voice filled with affection. "Seriously, Mom. You're amazing, but you also need to take care of yourself. Don't overwork."

Hyu-Joo smiled warmly at her caring son. "I appreciate your concern, Jung-Ha. I promise I'll find some time to unwind."

Jung-Ha's eyes twinkled with mischief. "And if you need any help relaxing, just let me know. I'll be your personal relaxation assistant."

Hyu-Joo laughed, feeling grateful for the light-hearted banter that always managed to brighten her day. "You're quite the charmer, aren't you?"

As they continued their sweet exchange, little did they know that their close-knit relationship would face new challenges and surprises in the near future.

Seung-Ryeong and Ji-Young continued spending time together during her rehabilitation. One day, Ji-Young suddenly asked, "Are you married?"

Seung-Ryeong was taken aback but replied, "I used to be. My wife passed away."

Ji-Young then voiced her worry, "I'm concerned that someone might get jealous because of us."

Seung-Ryeong chuckled, saying, "You might be overestimating your impact."

Ji-Young's tone turned more confident as she stated, "Well, I can't deny that I'm beautiful. Men tend to like me."

Seung-Ryeong laughed, but Ji-Young's expression shifted, and he sensed a deeper meaning behind her words. He realized there was more to her statement than met the eye, and they shared a meaningful moment of understanding.

Youn-Jung sat across from Jung-Ha in the bustling cafeteria, watching him intently. "You should eat first," she suggested, eyeing the untouched meal in front of him.

Jung-Ha looked up from his book, a determined expression on his face. "I need to review so I can recite later," he explained, his tone focused.

Observing his dedication, Youn-Jung smiled and leaned forward, her curiosity piqued. "You really seem to enjoy Mr. Jo's class."

Jung-Ha's pride was evident in his nod. "Absolutely. He's a great professor."

Curiosity led Jung-Ha to question Youn-Jung's choice to spend time with him instead of Do-Hoon. "Why are you hanging out with me and not Do-Hoon?" he asked, genuinely curious.
