CHO EUNTAK saw the relief in Baek Jeho's face after he announced that he wasn't Kwon Miho's father.
Of course, he was also relieved.
I knew it— I overreacted for nothing.
But, aside from that…
"I feel bad for feeling relieved," Cho Euntak said, gently slapping his cheeks with his hands. "I'm such a terrible person for feeling happy that Kwon Miho isn't your child, all the while knowing what this means for the child."
"Euntak-ah, stop," Baek Jeho said, gently grabbing Cho Euntak's wrists to stop himself from slapping his cheeks. "You're not a bad person for feeling that way. Even I feel relieved that I'm not Kwon Miho's father. Honestly, it's a good thing for her. I'm not confident I'd be a good father to her anyway. So, I believe this is the best outcome for all of us."
Ah, that actually made sense.
Of course, Cho Euntak still felt bad for Kwon Miho.
But he also knew that Baek Jeho was correct— that it was better for the child that he wasn't the father.
