Chapter 44
For now, Tae-seo decided to put aside whether he was the child Han Mi-sun had mentioned. That could be confirmed later, but for now, he focused on the Tae-seo in front of him. Every time their eyes met, Tae-seo smiled, exuding a fresh and youthful aura. He was as handsome as Se-heon and seemed to have a good personality as well.
