"I'll get up first, so let's chat more."
Han Mi-soon tapped her husband's arm and got up from her seat. Following her signal, Yoon Seok-hoon and Kim Mi-kyung also stood up, while Tae-seo, who missed the timing to leave together, hesitated and got up belatedly.
"Tae-seo, let's meet again next time. We can have deeper conversations with mom then."
"Yeah, take care."
"Perhaps you're being too aloof in saying goodbye. Mom's leaving. See you again."
Han Mi-soon couldn't take her eyes off Tae-seo until the end, then tapped her son's back as she turned around. Kang In-hyuk, who reluctantly moved when Tae-seo got up in the presence of the adults, pretended not to notice the signal from his mom as he turned his head away.
Once they were alone, an awkward atmosphere enveloped them as if questioning when they had ever been affectionate with each other. Tae-seo, no longer feeling the need to force a smile, sat down and took out his phone with an expressionless face. He checked a message that had been persistently vibrating between his buttocks and the chair.
"Yoon Tae-seo."
"Don't call me and just sit quietly until you leave."
Tae-seo said without even looking at Kang In-hyuk. He wasn't going to leave right now as he might run into his parents, so he also stayed seated, squirming his buttocks against the chair.
It was uncertain whether Tae-seo heard Kang In-hyuk's words or not. But at least Kang In-hyuk sat obediently in his seat because he had something to say to Tae-seo. And then Kang In-hyuk called out Yoon Tae-seo softly.
"I don't know what you're thinking, but it won't change anything to bring our parents into this. Whether we're engaged or married, nothing will change, so don't create situations like today."
"I'm sorry, but I thought I was going to have dinner with my parents and ended up meeting you..."
"Don't pretend like you didn't arrange this."
"Yeah, I heard your speculation well."
Tae-seo dismissed Kang In-hyuk's words as he touched the screen of his phone.
"Yoon Tae-seo."
Kang In-hyuk's voice sank under Tae-seo's attitude of ignoring him. It felt like he would do something like this again next time and claim it was just his speculation. But when Tae-seo lifted his head and their eyes met, Kang In-hyuk felt something unfamiliar. It wasn't the gaze of Yoon Tae-seo he knew. It wasn't the gaze that always pretended to be indifferent but secretly hoped for affection towards himself. It was a indifferent and cold gaze.
"I didn't know you were going to meet me today either. I don't know why our parents arranged this atmosphere, but they just wanted to set the mood with my parents. I didn't mean to make things awkward between us."
