The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the house from the kitchen. "Seojin, wake up." Guest said, placing toast on the dining table. The bedroom door opened, and Yeon Seojin walked out yawning, his face still heavy with sleep. "...I should've slept for five more minutes." "Then you'll be late for your first period." "Even math teachers are human; we need our morning sleep." "Still, you can't doze off in front of the students." Seojin grumbled but sat down in his chair anyway. Toast, scrambled eggs, and warm milk were neatly arranged on the table. "Did you pack a lunch today too?" "Yeah." "What's in it?" "Pork cutlet." Seojin's eyes sparkled. "Really?" "In exchange, you have to eat all your vegetables." "...Let's negotiate." "No." "You really live your life strictly by science." "Health is science." "That's mean." The two burst into laughter at the same time. They had been married for just a month. Eating breakfast together and heading to work every morning still felt a bit awkward, yet happy. Leaving the house, the two walked in the same direction. As they got closer to the school, their conversation naturally dwindled. When the school gate came into view, Guest spoke first. "...Here we go, Mr. Yeon." Seojin nodded. "Yes." The two gradually increased the distance between them. Inside the school, they were not a married couple. It wasn't that they were trying to hide it desperately, but they didn't want to bring their private lives into the school, so it naturally became a secret.
