“Grandfather, have you ever lived with someone you love?”
“……!”
Chairman Cha was speechless.
While he respected Dohyuk’s grandmother as a partner who had been hurt early in life, it was more about loyalty and affection than love.
It was a marriage arranged within the family, and Chairman Cha’s attention was entirely focused on Daesan Group.
After his wife passed away, he had several lovers, but none lasted long.
When Chairman Cha’s face showed signs of astonishment and embarrassment, Dohyuk made an expression as if he had expected it.
“So, Grandfather, you don’t understand. Why I’m doing this.”
“This brat! Anyway, Seo Jae-in is out of the question!”
“Why? What’s the reason?”
“You already know, right? An orphan with no background, and her family is nothing special. If you get such a wife, you’ll be laughed at by others, and it’ll tarnish Daesan Group’s reputation.”
At the words belittling Jae-in, Dohyuk furrowed his brow.
“Whatever that vulgar crowd says, I don’t care at all. It’s my life.”
“Seojin MulSan has the second-largest stake in our Daesan. What if bad intentions arise? It might threaten the position of the chairman.”
Creating a foundation that would enable Dohyuk to lead Daesan Group steadily even after his death was Chairman Cha’s long-cherished wish.
So, he wanted to somehow push Dohyuk and Sejeong’s marriage to secure Seojin MulSan.
“Just tightly grasp other shareholders. You can prove yourself with your abilities.”
“Why go for a patient like Sejeong Yang, what…?”
“Grandfather, wouldn’t you know if you experienced Seo Jae-in yourself?”
“That won’t happen!”
In an instant, Dohyuk’s eyes sharpened.
“Fine! Let’s make a bet.”
“A bet?”
“Yes. Just accept Seo Jae-in for one month. If after a month, you still think it won’t work, I’ll cleanly give up on Seo Jae-in.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Chairman Cha rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
It was sudden, but not a bad proposal.
After all, in a month, the condition that Seo Jae-in was from an inconspicuous family wouldn’t change.
Moreover, opposing it in this way might end up causing more trouble for the two.
What if Dohyuk goes out and brings someone back?
That would be a truly troublesome situation.
Eventually, Chairman Cha spoke.
“Fine! But let’s get it notarized. Everything should be precise.”
“Of course, you should.”
“Don’t twist words when the time comes.”
“I want to tell you one thing.”
“You annoying brat, not a word more.”
“Because I resemble you, grandfather.”
Dohyuk, who closely resembled Chairman Cha, reminded him of the time when Dohyuk’s mother, Cha In-ho, died in an accident, leaving young Dohyuk alone.
Dohyuk, who seemed like he would burst into tears at any moment, was holding back his emotions, and his eyes were red.
The child who used to shed many tears was now pushing his will with determination.
“Yeah, you’re a lot like me.”
Chairman Cha’s words contained a lot of emotions.
When Jae-in arrived at her parents’ bakery, it was well past lunchtime.
“Mom, Dad, I’m here.”
“Jae-in is here? Oh, our lovely daughter, you must have had a hard time coming.”
Mom rushed out and hugged Jae-in tightly.
“Did you eat?”
“I just had something quickly on the train.”
“Ugh, half of your face is swollen. Since there’s still some time, go to the restaurant next door and eat something substantial.”
“I’m okay. I’m not hungry.”
Mom asked while nervously looking around Jae-in’s back.
“But… are you alone?”
“Huh?”
“Just in case…”
Mom’s complexion darkened rapidly.
“Why are you like this? Our Jae-in also has someone she’s seeing! He’s so tall and handsome that if Wujin stands next to him, he probably won’t be visible? He’s a wonderful man, handsome, wealthy, and has a good job.”
This time, because Jaein announced that she would bring a man with an amazing profile to the upcoming eightieth birthday party, it was anticipated that there might be difficult consequences when facing relatives.
Tsk. Jaein burst into laughter and said, “Mom, I have a boyfriend.”
“Really?”
Suddenly, Mom’s face turned red.
Jaein wanted to tell her mother directly since this was her first boyfriend.
“Yes, it’s true.”
“Why are you telling me this now?”
“We haven’t been dating for long.”
“Why didn’t he come with you?”
“He had other plans.”
“I see. Well, it’s the first day of the new year. What does he do?”
“That… he’s an office worker.”
A team leader, so an office worker is correct.
She briefly explained about Dohyuk, not wanting things to get complicated by speaking too directly about him.
“Anyway, you did well, very well! Our pretty daughter, did she lack anything that she only started dating now? Finally, she has a boyfriend.”
“Well, a boyfriend?”
Dad, who came out of the bakery belatedly, shouted in surprise.
Jaein ran and hugged her father, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Dad, I missed you.”
“Honey, our Jaein has a boyfriend.”
“Ah, is that so…”
Dad’s face was full of regret.
Mom, with a sly smile, asked, “Why are you like that?”
“I suddenly feel like I’ve lost Jaein.”
“Oh my, he’s too big. Well, if you want to go to the eightieth birthday party, tidy up now. At this rate, we’ll be late.”
Mom pushed Dad with a reproachful remark.
Every time she saw the affectionate appearance of her parents, Jaein felt grateful once again.
Rrrrrrr. Rrrrrrr.
At that moment, the ringtone of Jaein’s mobile phone echoed from her bag.
[Team Leader Cha Dohyuk]With a pleased heart, Jaein stepped outside the store to answer the call.
“Team Leader, what’s going on?”
-Did you get down safely?
“Yes.”
-That’s a relief.
Perhaps because he was far away, Dohyuk’s voice somehow felt tender.
“Did you talk well with Grandfather?”
-Yeah. I’ll tell you when we meet.
“That’s good.”
After a moment of silence, the ringtone of Dohyuk’s phone was heard regularly.
“Team Leader, are you okay?”
-Yeah.
“What are you doing now?”
-Thinking about Seo Jaein.
That short sentence stirred Jaein’s heart.
“What should I do?”
-What?
“Team Leader, I miss you.”
Tick-tock.
From the phone, the sound of Dohyuk’s laughter could be heard.
-You’ve fallen deeply for my charm.
“It seems so.”
Dohyuk asked in a voice that sounded like he was dreaming.
-Want to see my face now? My face that Seo Jaein likes.
