“Not bad.”
That was the first thing the man said after looking around the pension. He had arrived much earlier than Dajeong.
“Purchase first, then see. I bought it in a hurry, so I’m only seeing it now. Are rooms 101 and 102 the same layout?”
“Yes, they are.”
“It’s a decent building. Worth paying twice the market price.”
He seemed quite proud of the construction, and indeed it was. Unlike most pensions, which are often built with panels to cut costs, this building was made of concrete, passing the safety check.
The wide windows facing the sea captured both the landscape and light beautifully. The living room was overall spacious and high.
The openness gave a refreshing feeling. The sofa was in a deep blue color, reminiscent of the sea, with gray tones creating a calm atmosphere.
It could be prone to drafts due to its structure, but the use of high-quality windows somewhat compensated for that. Additionally, a fireplace was installed, capturing both romance and heating. It was a house to look forward to in winter.
The first room on the ground floor had a bed and a dressing room together. Behind the bed, there was an arch-shaped entrance without a door, leading to a small dressing room, just right for two people. The bed was a spacious king-size, and the man had personally chosen a top-quality mattress for it.
The bathroom next to the kitchen had a large two-person bathtub. It was simple and clean. The man regretted not designing the bathroom himself to include a large window for a view outside. He thought the builder must have been a bit old-fashioned.
It would have been better if it had been designed to shower while looking at the sea.
There were a few aspects not to his taste, but overall, it was quite a nice place.
The second floor had an attractive wide terrace facing the sea, a small bedroom, and another bathtub. However, since he planned to stay alone, he thought he wouldn’t use the second floor much except for enjoying the view.
Manager Jung said,
“Sir, Yoon Dajeong’s companion’s car just exited the tollgate.”
The man glanced at his watch and then said,
“30 minutes… That’s when they’ll arrive. Is the luggage arrangement all done, Manager Jung?”
“Yes. The people we hired earlier have finished everything. You might want to check just in case.”
“No, it’s fine. I trust you did a good job. Then, let’s head upstairs. Oh, but before that.”
The man turned his gaze from the sea to Manager Jung.
“Please call the pension’s caretaker couple. Dajeong thinks they are the owners, so I want to pass on a few instructions.”
“Understood. And Byunghoon will stay nearby for support.”
“That’s necessary. He’s my manager.”
Manager Jung smiled slightly at that response.
“He’s already complaining about being bored.”
Jaeho shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze back to the sea. With Kim Byunghoon’s personality, he would surely find something entertaining within three days. Even dropped in a desert, his optimistic nature would find a way to survive. Amidst his complaints of boredom, he was probably planning how to make the most of this vacation.
After a light bow, Manager Jung headed for the entrance, with Jaeho following a few steps behind. As Manager Jung was about to put on his shoes, he turned around as if he remembered something important.
“Chairman’s birthday is not far off.”
“…I know.”
“He said to make sure you attend.”
Jaeho’s expression darkened momentarily.
He was well aware of the expectations his grandfather had placed on him and recognized that as the heir, it was time to take a more active role in the management of Taemyung. Jaeho had been on a predetermined path to become the heir of Taemyung since high school.
However, this was his grandfather’s wish, not his own. He only ever wanted to be an actor, and he pursued that dream immediately after finishing his studies abroad. Despite seeing his grandfather’s disappointment, he couldn’t bend his will.
Jaeho was the kind of person who didn’t act until he was certain. He respected his grandfather’s wishes and was trying to find a reason to participate in management in his own way, but he had yet to find an answer.
He knew. He hadn’t fully integrated into the Taemyung family.
Despite living under his chairman grandfather’s protection and enjoying everything he wanted, Jaeho sometimes felt like he was wearing someone else’s clothes. That’s why acting appealed to him more. Achieving success through his own efforts was thrilling, a feeling he hadn’t experienced with Taemyung.
“I’ll try to attend.”
“It’s not just about trying. He emphasized several times that you must attend.”
Jaeho smiled faintly.
“He’s going to say the same old things.”
“It’s just that he has great expectations.”
Manager Jung briefly straightened his clothes and took a deep breath.
“By the way, I sincerely congratulate you on finally meeting Yoon Dajeong. I’ve told the chairman you’re on a solo trip.”

really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
