But a divorce? As soon as Hyeonyang Construction secured the redevelopment and reconstruction project in the Hwami Apartment area, the news of the divorce that flew like ashes felt like ruining the feast.
“Director Lim, I’m disappointed.”
“I should talk separately. Please understand that the old man has no face, so please understand.”
“If there’s something disappointing…”
“There’s nothing like that. It was just a verbal engagement. Chairman Jo, let’s finish this now.”
Even if there were things to discuss separately, the words meant that Kang Seon would block it. In the end, this divorce would quietly pass. As soon as the short call with Director Lim ended, Daehun sent Director Kim to Kang Seon Construction. He declared that he should come immediately if the head of the department was not there.
Then, within an hour, he appeared on his own. In fact, I thought he wouldn’t show up. Since engagements within the family could be decided by the adults, from Kang Taeseo’s perspective, there was no need to awkwardly confront Daehun.
However, seeing him appear and stubbornly beg in this manner, I couldn’t contain my anger. It was a situation where even cursing wouldn’t bring relief. Eventually, when Daehun, unable to endure it any longer, was about to scold the guy who subtly smiled at him.
“Do I have to be afraid of Chairman Jo? I have no reason to.”
“…What?”
“What can I do if the person claiming to be my fiancée doesn’t appeal to me? Chairman Jo probably doesn’t want his precious son-in-law to marry me and live without ever seeing his husband’s face.”
“You, what kind of disrespectful talk is this? You still seem unaware, but marriage is an opportunity for businessmen. Why deal with it emotionally?”
“A solid business partner, a firm ally forged through a matchmaker. Isn’t that what Hyeonyang Construction needs right now?”
“…”
“Chairman, it seems you don’t know much. I don’t need to meet someone I don’t like by selling myself. Why would I be disappointed? And.”
After elegantly finishing the remaining tea, Taeseo placed the cleaned teacup neatly in its place. Taeseo, who arranged the cup with precision, closed his eyes gracefully and smiled.
“Even if there’s a thought like that, I won’t enter into a partnership with Hyeonyang Construction. Why bother? With Hyeonyang Construction?”
Regardless, there were many successful companies that wanted to welcome Kang Taeseo as their son-in-law. However, the mention of Hyeonyang Construction, which didn’t even know its place, desiring him was absurd.
Raising one eyebrow, Daehun, who forgot what to say due to Taeseo’s sinister words, struck the sofa armrest with a tightly clenched fist.
“Will you not regret this moment?”
“Regret is not my concern.”
With an oddly scratching tone, Daehun opened his eyes wide. The young man’s determination, as if saying regret is your concern, was not an empty word, making his teeth clench involuntarily.
“Since it was just a verbal engagement, I think this divorce is enough. I hope Chairman Jo’s thoughts are the same as mine.”
“…”
“Otherwise, it’s a pity.”
It was a self-confident voice, as if saying do what you can. As Taeseo picked up the coat he had placed beside him, the sliding door opened with a soft sound. In front of the door was the contemplative Director Kim.
“Chairman, right now…!”
“What’s this, all of a sudden!”
Seeing Director Kim rushing toward Daehun, Taeseo, who had adjusted his appearance, casually lowered his eyes as if mocking.
“Thank you for the tea.”
“…You!”
“Chairman, now is not the time for this!”
Standing up and clearing his seat, Daehun, who had been pouring out his frustration behind Taeseo, fell silent at the whispered words of Director Kim in my ears. Taeseo, who had been about to leave the quiet room, turned around.
Daehun’s face, which had been reddish a moment ago, had suddenly turned pale. His hand, hastily reaching for his phone to check something, was trembling to the point of shaking. Taeseo, who noticed this, subtly curled the corner of his mouth.
“What’s the matter?”
“…”
“Oh. Although it’s late, congratulations.”
Daehun, looking up at Taeseo with a forced smile, kept his tightly closed mouth. The tremor that started in his hands was spreading throughout his body.
“We regretfully had internal issues, but we heard that Hyeonyang Construction staked their lives on this matter.”
It was a day of raising toasts from morning. Chairman Jo’s golden age of life was right in front of him. However, an unexpected misfortune had flown in.
Just as Director Kim rushed in, making it impossible to point out his intrusion into the situation where Taeseo was confronting Kang Taeseo, his composed attitude and smile irritated Daehun. Feeling as if he knew everything and was deliberately provoking, Daehun exhaled roughly.
“As much as you staked your lives, you should have a good result, right?”
“…It should be.”
As he answered with a forced smile, the impudent guy’s smile seemed to intensify.
“There’s one thing I sincerely thank Chairman Jo for. I’ll pay for the tea. Finish it and get up. Goodbye.”
As Taeseo, who neatly arranged the place like a lie, left the room, Daehun slammed his fist on the table.
“What are you doing? Catch those guys who are writing such articles and bring them here. Stop the news and find out the source!”
“Yes!”
Seeing Director Kim quickly taking out his phone, Daehun also picked up his phone. Underneath his angry eyes as he called his wife Seunghee, the atmosphere was seething with anger.
“What the hell are you doing? Do you know what time it is now? Get a grip on yourself!”
Daehun’s roaring echoed loudly in the quiet Korean restaurant. Taeseo, who was standing outside the door, had just started moving his steps, and Daehun didn’t know.
“Are you okay?”
“Why that expression? It’s just the beginning now.”
When Taeseo smiled and nodded at Manager Jang, the soundproof wall between the front and rear seats rose smoothly. In the car waiting for Taeseo, who came out of a traditional Korean restaurant on the outskirts of Seoul, were the reporter, Manager Jang, and Jaein.
“So. Now that it has started. It feels like I’m facing a typhoon head-on. I’m a little scared.”
It was a morning when the signals for revenge, which had been so carefully considered, were fired. Taeseo, who gently squeezed Jaein’s hand, smiled softly.
The one thing Kang Taeseo sincerely thanked Chairman Jo for was bringing Yun Jaein into the world. But that was as far as it went.
Far from playing the role of a father figure, a simple thank-you was enough for the man who tried to isolate and exploit her, equivalent to the cost of two cups of tea. Now, all that was left was to dismantle him as Yun Jaein desired.
“Don’t be scared. We’re not facing a typhoon.”
“Hmm…”
“We are the eye of the storm.”
In response to an unexpected answer, Jaein’s eyes sparkled as she looked up. Beautiful yet determined, her gaze captivated him. Taeseo conveyed his determination to her with a strong and resolute look.
As quietly as the eye of the storm.

“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
