While they called her a ‘daughterlike’ daughterinlaw, in reality, they wanted a daughterinlaw who would serve like a servant. Since they had given birth to a precious son and raised him well, it was only fair to be treated well by the daughterinlaw.
“Mom, trust only in our son. Go have fun with your friends. Don’t worry about mom and come back after having a good time.”
The hand they held did not easily part. When the two of them were alone, they were the most affectionate and happy mother and son in the world.
In response to Tae Seo’s question about whether she had any favorite food, Jae In said she was fine with anything as she didn’t want to be picky. Truly, she was fine with anything. She didn’t have any particular food she avoided, and she wasn’t picky when it came to choosing a menu.
However, Tae Seo, who had boldly set out with her, was serious. It was because he remembered something his friend Jun Kyung once told him.
“Among the things women say, ‘anything’ is the hardest. It means you have to guess the exact one thing in my head.”
“And if I can’t guess?”
“You have to answer until you get it right. If you keep getting it wrong, they’ll look at you with annoyed eyes, you know? You’ll understand what it means to be scolded with just a look. That means you can forget about hearing anything nice that day.”
What to do. Tae Seo revisited the restaurants near his office where he had been stopping by for almost two months.
Tofu stew, bone soup, grilled mackerel, bulgogi meal, stirfried squid.
Most of the selected menus were for quick meals to return to work at the company.
He had never had such worries when Jo Yu Ri suggested they should have a meal. She said she had something to say and would come near the office, so he just agreed. He had no intention of buying her a meal.
She was a woman who falsely called herself his fiancée, using the pretense of a family arrangement. He intended to tell this woman, who was puffing herself up, to wake up from her dream, but he changed his mind after seeing her making a scene in the restaurant.

Breaking off this farcical engagement was something he could do over the phone to Jo Yu Ri, or to Jo Dae Hoon. It wasn’t something he had to say facetoface.
“I should have researched some decent restaurants in advance if I knew this was going to happen.”
“I really do like everything.”
Knowing that Tae Seo’s dilemma was prolonging, Jae In thought maybe she should suggest the menu.
But she didn’t have the confidence to cater to the taste of someone she was eating with for the first time.
Furthermore, today was Christmas Eve. It was time for most decent restaurants to be fully booked with reservations. Moreover, wasn’t her counterpart the notoriously picky thirdgeneration chaebol?
At the moment when Jae In thought she would have to endure her growing hunger in addition to the cold, Tae Seo opened his mouth again.
“If you don’t have a particular favorite food, do you have any food you dislike?”
“No. I eat everything well as long as it’s not strange.”
Tae Seo stopped for a moment and looked around. It seemed that Yoon Jae In had no intention of giving me any hints. But he didn’t want to drag on any longer.
The streets were filled with people, fitting for Christmas Eve. The heavily clouded sky seemed as though it would pour down snow any moment. Tae Seo, who had been looking at the hurriedly moving people, slowly turned his head and stared at Jae In.
“Then let’s go eat what I like. It’s nearby.”
“Yes.”
Jae In thought Tae Seo might take me to a restaurant at the Kang Sun Hotel, which wasn’t far from here.
Even if it was Christmas Eve, it wouldn’t be a big deal for the head family of the Kang Sun Group to make a reservation at the Kang Sun Hotel restaurant.
A life where you don’t have to line up, or need to make a reservation a month in advance. A life where, if necessary, you can get what you want right away. As far as Jae In knew, that was how chaebols lived.

“…Here?”
“Yes. Don’t you like it?”
But the place Tae Seo led her to was an unexpected one.
“I love it!”
Seeing her eyes sparkle and her head nod, Tae Seo smiled a triumphant smile. It seemed he had luckily hit the exact one thing in Jae In’s mind.
On the cold Christmas Eve, their faces were exceptionally bright as they entered a Pyongyang cold noodle and dumpling specialty shop, where the gentlemen of the hour had taken their seats.
Yu Ri had been glaring at her cell phone for 30 minutes already. She was maintaining her posture to keep her perfectly set hair and makeup from being ruined, having visited the shop earlier in the afternoon.
“It should appear like this, right?”
Unknowingly, she gnawed at her freshly manicured coralcolored nails until they were unsightly. She was anxious. She was angry and worried.
She knew that Kang Tae Seo was a coolheaded person. But she didn’t know that he could act so coldly even after meeting me.
