Friday evening, 7 o’clock.

Limousines and luxury foreign cars were lined up, entering the main entrance of the DK Hotel.

It was because the DK Hotel was hosting the annual alumni night event this year.

Even though it was a hotel competing with the Tae Sung Hotel, it had never once surpassed Tae Sung Hotel.

One after another, the offspring of politics and business, dressed in luxury suits and dresses, stepped out of their cars and passed the red carpetcovered entrance into the banquet hall.

Only alumni could enter, but they didn’t check for identification. It was because the organizers and the attendees knew each other well, and there were no people who dared to sneak in if they were not alumni.

There were some people who had been abroad for a long time or had undergone so much plastic surgery that they were unrecognizable, but they received a free pass as soon as they mentioned their family and name.

Inside the banquet hall, adorned with a stunning chandelier and an ice sculpture, a highend buffet was prepared, and outside, there were various smallscale performances, including a cool fountain show and violin performance, in accordance with the hot weather.

“Lee Chan Woo, you’ve put in a lot of effort, haven’t you?”
“If you want to be strict, isn’t it your father, Chan Woo, who’s put in a lot of effort?”
“Well, I admit that, but you should acknowledge the efforts I’ve made to look good in front of my father for weeks because of this.”
It could be an upsetting remark, but it was a phrase they often used to each other, as their positions were not much different.

Ha Joon was the only one who held a significant position at the young age of twentyseven.

Most people at this age were either continuing their education, playing while rolling stocks given by their parents under the pretext of continuing their studies, or learning work in light positions.

“But I can’t see Ha Joon.”
Upon hearing a woman’s remark, other women also looked around. Even though he was married, he was still popular. They could not have him, but just looking at him was healing, shall we say?

“That kid always comes late. He comes in with a clear mind while everyone else is drunk, and when he leaves, he’s still clear. Anyway, I don’t like that kid no matter what he does.”
Chan Woo’s words elicited nods from the other men as if they agreed.

For their male friends, Ha Joon was always a subject of caution. He had always been like this since kindergarten. It was not enough for him to always come first, he was good at sports and even took away all the attention of the girls.

“Shouldn’t we set an entry time next time?”
“Even if we do, it would be difficult next year. Because Tae Sung Hotel is hosting next year.”
That it was also the 20th anniversary made Chan Woo feel sick. He wanted to take charge of the 20th anniversary, not his own awkward 19th anniversary.

While the men and women were having a fierce competition over Ha Joon, a bodyguard whispered in Chan Woo’s ear.

Then, Chan Woo’s lips stretched into a long curve on one side, and he got up from his seat and walked towards the entrance.

At that time, at the entrance,

“Oh, Miss Seo Ah, you’re here alone?”
Ji Yeong greeted Seo Ah, who she had spotted, as if she was pleased to see her.

Ha Joon was late, so he said to wait and go together, but Seo Ah had come first without telling him.

She wanted to bravely win by herself. When he arrived, she wanted to show him that she was naturally mingling with them.

But she was stopped at the entrance. If she said she was the wife of Kang Ha Joon of Tae Sung Group, she thought they would let her in because, as Ha Joon said, a husband and wife are one, but,

“If you’re not an alumnus, you can’t enter. I’ll carry the responsibility for you. Let’s go in together.”
Ji Yeong gave a nod to the security guards and interlocked arms with Seo Ah and entered.

Seo Ah accepted Ji Yeong’s help out of surprise. Her pride was hurt, but standing at the entrance or turning back after coming this far would not look good.

Should she have just come with Ha Joon? But she couldn’t be discouraged by this. It was true that she was not an alumnus, and even though she knew she couldn’t enter if she was not an alumnus, she had come alone.

Ji Yeong’s arm around hers was uncomfortable, but it seemed time to let go, so why was she still holding on?

“Who is this?”
They ran into Chan Woo on the way to the banquet hall.

“Isn’t this the eldest daughterinlaw of the vicechairman of Tae Sung Group?”
“It’s nice to meet you. I’m Han Seo Ah.”
“Why are you here? Are you… an alumnus?”
Knowing that she was not an alumnus, Chan Woo looked her up and down and asked mischievously.

“You know, so why ask? Can’t she be my acquaintance for now?”
Ji Yeong held Seo Ah’s arm tighter and smirked at Chan Woo.

“That’s not something I can decide alone, come with me.”
