Chapter 975: Regret (9)
After finishing the lesson, Kwon Lena hurried toward the meeting spot she had arranged with Lee Yeoreum.
Kwon Jein seemed to want to have dinner together, but when she heard that Lena had a prior engagement with Yeoreum, she backed off willingly.
Kwon Jein sent Lena off with a face full of lingering regret, but in truth, Lena also felt a little disappointed.
‘It would be nice if I could introduce Yeoreum to them...’
Everyone on the Eternal Lake team, including Kwon Jein, wanted to be introduced to Lee Yeoreum by Kwon Lena.
They were so eager that it surprised Lena, but she rationalized it, thinking that it was probably just because they wanted to meet the family of Kwon Jein, her first disciple.
Lena's thoughts weren't completely wrong, but they weren't entirely accurate either.
The team from Eternal Lake knew all too well about Lena's family situation and were deeply grateful to Lee Yeoreum, who had been Lena's sole pillar of support at home.
Thus, they wanted to create a connection with Yeoreum to repay the favor, but it wasn't easy to naturally establish such a connection with Yeoreum, who was overwhelmed with long hours of work and late-night shifts, only going between the office and home.
If Lena were to introduce them, it would be a different story, but Yeoreum, feeling burdened, had only exchanged polite greetings.
‘I understand how Yeoreum must feel... I was also nervous when I first met Kwon Jein, so I can understand her feelings. I knew something was off when I brought it up...’
Lena thought back to the time when she had conveyed Kwon Jein’s request to Lee Yeoreum.
