After finishing their date and taking proof photos, Choi Yugeon returned to his office. He was in the midst of reviewing the concept plans for the upcoming broadcast auditions, which would feature trainees from his company. As this was an important event internally, he was personally overseeing it when his phone buzzed with a text message.
[Best cuts, here are three pictures. Chaewon ]The considerate cinema employee had taken thirteen pictures, pressing the button every second. Seeing the photos, Chaewon seemed surprised, not because of the number of pictures but because Yugeon had leaned back in the photos, leading her to comment on his apparent lack of manners. It was an ironic moment, considering her own lacking consideration points, which had already dipped into the negatives.
“CEO?”
Prompted by Secretary Ahn’s voice, Yugeon looked up. The male secretary, in a neat suit and round glasses, asked curiously.
“CEO, what are you smiling at?”
“Me?”
“Yes. You were definitely smiling before you saw me.”
“Smiling at this?”
“Well, I don’t know what it is, but yes, you were.”
Ridiculous talk.
Yugeon immediately darkened his phone screen, trying to deny it. Secretary Ahn tilted his head in confusion.
“Should I check the CCTV?”
Ahn, with his persistent nature, made Yugeon glare at him, causing Ahn to quickly back down.
“Just kidding. But, when are you planning to leave? The operations team is still working overtime outside.”
They’re waiting for the CEO to leave, Ahn added softly. Yugeon checked his wristwatch and started to shut down his computer.
“Why do they wait for me? Go home when it’s time.”
“Would be nice if the CEO left on time too, instead of coming back to the office.”
Yugeon stopped packing up, and Ahn faced another deathly glare. “Okay, okay. It’s great that you came back. Ha ha.”
Yugeon, after a final warning glance, put on his jacket and suggested, “How about a round of exercise?”
Ahn, overwhelmed by his endless energy, calmly responded.
“I was in a sewing club in middle school. In high school, I learned cooking, specifically homemade side dishes. I prefer the sea over mountains and staying home over going out.”
As Ahn rambled irrelevantly, Yugeon tugged at his tie impatiently.
“What’s your point?”
“I’m not inclined towards sports. I don’t have the energy for it at this time. You keep suggesting, but…”
“Then stay at home and do your needlework, why come to the office?”
Ahn bit his lip, facing the twisted CEO. The memory of Chaewon’s question popped into Yugeon’s mind: ‘Were you in a drama club too?’
Remembering her expression, he picked up his car keys, prompting Ahn to sigh and say, “You really scare me when you do this.”
“What now?”
“Why do you keep smirking like that? Threatening me about needlework and then smiling like this. It’s moments like these that scare me the most.”
Yugeon straightened his face and demanded, “What nonsense are you on about? When did I smile?”
Ahn, feeling unfairly treated, looked aggrieved.
“I don’t know what it is, but please calm down. It’s all my fault.”
“Why is he like that?” Choi Yugeon muttered to himself as he walked with long strides and opened the door.
“Stop talking nonsense and go home.”
“Drive safely, CEO.”
As Yugeon stepped outside, employees who had been lounging around like sticky rice cakes all stood up at once.
“Are you leaving now?”
“From now on, don’t mind me and go home whenever you need to.”
“Take care, CEO!”
After the employees’ cheerful voices faded, Yugeon, walking down the corridor, decided to call the manager of his regular gym. As he was about to dial, his hand paused once more on the revealed photo of Chaewon.
“Why did I open this again?”
He inadvertently opened the gallery, revealing the photo with her. He had meant to make a call, but his fingers moved on their own.
“CEO, what are you smiling at?”
Remembering Secretary Ahn’s voice from earlier, Yugeon looked at his reflection in the elevator mirror. Seeing his usual expressionless face, he slightly shook his head, thinking it was absurd. He decided he needed to intensify his workout routine for the day.
“My goodness, he’s grown so much. Our grandchild.”
Seated at the dining table, Youngja giggled as she looked at the ultrasound photo Jaemin handed her.
“Isn’t it?”
“Times have really changed. We didn’t have such things when I was pregnant. By the way, is it a boy or a girl?”
“We still need to wait a bit more for that.”
“I have a feeling it’s a boy. You know my intuition is usually right.”
Woof Woof!
The barking of a dog interrupted the mother and son’s conversation.
Looking at the bulldog Jeannie was holding, Jaemin’s expression turned fierce.
“Hey, where did you bring that dog from?”
“I told you. Ho-tae asked me to look after it for a few days while he’s on a business trip.”
Grrr. Woof!
The small bulldog, Toto, bared its teeth at Jaemin, who responded by showing his own teeth, making Toto bark even more fiercely.
“Ah, good boy Toto, calm down. You’re so pretty.”
