Had the same brown hair as her daughter, also looking like she wasn’t a day past thirty, but she was actually already in her fifties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a smile, sat down beside her mother, put her head on Yerin’s shoulder, and held her hand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lived on the 98th floor, and the living conditions were already very good here. It wasn’t a normal one-story apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also had a second floor with all the bedrooms there, and the 98th floor itself was very well-maintained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt more like a neighborhood in some suburb than a high-rise apartment building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They watched the TV show in silence, and after the end credits started rolling, Chaewon stood up to get ready for a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chaewon, before you go, I have something to tell you about. Please, sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin said with a smile and patted the spot beside her on the couch, and Chaewon, curiously, sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her mother in confusion, asking, \"What is this all about?\" with her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know Lady Izumi, right? She goes to the book club with me, and we’ve met her a couple of times on this floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her son just became a brain surgeon on the 171st floor. Isn’t that amazing? Izumi never stops talking about her son these days!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Wow, that sounds amazing. I know her son, don’t I? I think he was in the same class as me in high school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin said, paused for a moment, and looked into her daughter’s eyes, which were full of innocence and youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Izumi told me that she had a conversation about you with her son at a dinner table. Apparently her son’s eyes lit up when he talked about you, at least according to Izumi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think he is very fond of you, and since you aren’t seeing anyone, maybe I can arrange a meeting between the two of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon exclaimed in frustration, stood up, and said, \"I’ll go to bath,\" with a not-so-happy face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Chaewon, can you at least meet him? I told Izumi I would try, and if you don’t like him, that’s fine, as I won’t force you to date someone you don’t like!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew how hard it was to find a love inside Megaworld. It was a rare opportunity that she didn’t want Chaewon to pass up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not interested in dating right now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon mumbled, but inside her mind, there was a certain someone that she was much more interested in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered Izumi’s son—barely—and during the school days, he was pretty much an outcast and didn’t seem to have a lot of friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was good at studying, always being at the top of the class, and he hated any sport activities, but he liked reading books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon, on the other hand, was part of the popular group because of her beauty, and they were almost from completely different worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you try for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon walked to her mother, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a pout, \"Tell Izumi that I already have a boyfriend,\" and then headed to the bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re beautiful, Chaewon, and in a blink of an eye you will be as old as me with your beauty faded off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon dipped in the bath, looking at the bubbles rising, and she flicked the duck toy floating in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her mouth and sank down into the warm water until her ears were completely submerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve never kept secrets from my mom before, but there is no way I can talk to her about Raon and things I’ve done with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He is the reason why I won’t go meet Izumi’s son, but I can’t tell my mom about that because it would be scandalous!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew what she was doing with him was very wrong, and she would be fired instantly if it ever got out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Mom has always been supportive of me, but I don’t think even she would approve of that relationship... I don’t know what I am supposed to do.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon sat back up, coming out of the water, and quickly washed herself before drying off with a towel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then covered herself with a towel and also wrapped her hair in a towel before walking out of the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After changing into her sleeping clothes, it was getting very late, so it was time to sleep, as she had to wake up early tomorrow to head back to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t have a lot of free time because of the long work hours, but she found herself very excited to go to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that bothered her was that she couldn’t see Raon as much as she’d like because he was always in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sleeping with me tonight, Chaewon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin got settled in her bed, and Chaewon said, \"Sure, Mom,\" and lay beside her under the blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had always been just two of them, and they were very close because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you tell me about what you did at work? I’d like to also hear about this patient of yours that you have been taking care of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without noticing, Chaewon flinched, having a \"Why does she want to know about him?\" expression on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Uhm, I took him outside Megaworld today. Did I tell you that he recovered his vision suddenly? Which is why he wanted to see Megaworld from outside for the first time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, from what you said before, his illness seemed extremely serious. You seem to be very glad that he is getting better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, why wouldn’t I be? Raon is very nice, and I’ll keep helping him to get better any way I can!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yerin looked at her daughter silently and saw something that only her mother would see, and she sighed under her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My dear daughter... If you already had someone you had feelings towards, you could’ve just told me!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","077f427bb56b1a93824dab210a38cde8df7b023b0fe507dda1c7c2cbca432379","black-online-chapter-64","black-online-chapter-62",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
