“You’re right.”
Green nodded, and Seon-woo opened the passenger door for her. Once she was seated, he took off his suit jacket and laid it over her lap.
“Thank you.”
Relieved that her legs, exposed in the mini dress, were now covered, Green finally relaxed.
Contrary to Seon-woo’s earlier comment about having a lot to talk about, the drive home was mostly silent, filled with an awkward atmosphere. Green fiddled with her seatbelt, feeling uneasy.
“Are you very close with Grandfather Park Chan-wook?”
Seon-woo finally spoke as they entered the apartment parking lot.
“Grandfather? No, it’s like we’re just starting our relationship today.”
“Really?”
“I gave him a photo as a gift today, and he seemed to really like it. So, from today, he’s decided to call me ‘granddaughter-in-law’ instead of ‘Seon-woo’s wife’.”
“Is that so?”
“I was really surprised when he called me ‘my dear’. I mean, at my age! Yikes!”
Shuddering as if she felt goosebumps, Green suddenly met eyes with Seon-woo, and they both burst into laughter.
Just when the mood seemed to soften, Seon-woo’s expression hardened again.
“Why have you lost so much weight?”
Just as the awkwardness had eased a bit, Seon-woo brought up her weight again, and Green felt a tinge of sadness.
She had worked hard to lose weight, and everyone had been saying she looked unrecognizably beautiful, praising her diet as the best form of plastic surgery. Yet, Seon-woo kept fixating on it.
Maybe he prefers a bit plumper women, she thought.
But the words that came from Seon-woo’s mouth were different from what Green had expected.
“How much emotional distress did you endure? Was it because of my father again?”
“Excuse me? No, it’s not exactly because of that. Of course, Representative Jin Young-cheol can be a bit difficult, but…”
“There’s no need to sugarcoat it. I know my father well.”
Before Green could fully explain, Seon-woo got out of the car and opened the passenger door for her. He then strode ahead towards the elevator, looking like a man angered.
In the elevator, Green kept glancing at Seon-woo, not knowing how to clear up his misunderstanding.
As they exited the elevator, Seon-woo, familiar with the place, entered the password and opened the door, only to be loudly greeted by Housekeeper Ahn.
“My goodness, who do we have here? Isn’t this Director Jin Seon-woo? When did you return to Korea?”
“Today afternoon. I stopped by earlier, but you weren’t here. Why are you still here at this hour?”
“I left after preparing dinner, but had to return because I forgot my phone. Just when you think you’re too old for this world, I get to meet Director Jin like this! Are you back for good now?”
“No, I have to go out again in about a month and a half. But the business trip is almost over.”
Hearing Seon-woo’s words, Housekeeper Ahn’s expression turned mischievous. She nodded knowingly at Seon-woo and Green in turn.
“Missed your wife so much you couldn’t wait any longer? It’s understandable, leaving such a charming wife behind for so long!”
Caught off guard by Housekeeper Ahn’s direct remarks, Seon-woo was uncharacteristically flustered.
On the other hand, Green, considering it an unrealistic comment, merely looked on curiously, not bothering to respond.
“Oh, I’ve been rambling on. I found my phone, so I’ll be off now. You two must have a lot to catch up on after so long. I’ll be back in three days.”
“Thank you for your hard work, ma’am.”
Green smiled and saw Housekeeper Ahn out. Seon-woo seemed slightly dissatisfied with her casual response to the housekeeper’s playful comment. Perhaps he felt it was unfair that he was the only one flustered?
“Green, you’ve become quite bold over the past year?”
“Me?”
“Considering you didn’t even bat an eyelid at such an embarrassing joke.”
“Eh, as if Seon-woo would come back just for me. You must have had other reasons, like Grandfather’s birthday and the Marseille project report.”
“…”
“There’s no need for me to be flustered over Housekeeper Ahn’s words when I know the real situation.”
At Green’s lighthearted response, Seon-woo didn’t smile.
As she continued to laugh alone, her smile gradually faded upon seeing Seon-woo’s serious expression. She wondered if she had said something wrong.
Seon-woo spoke in a low voice.
“It’s true that I came for my grandfather’s birthday and to report on the Marseille project. But the main reason was my concern for you, Green.”
“Why worry about me?”
“Didn’t you say my father has been troubling you more since his election defeat?”
Startled by Seon-woo’s unexpected concern, Green was taken aback. She had not thought he would really worry about her.
“A year ago, I really liked the plan to deceive Han Moon-taek and board the flight to France.”
“I liked that plan too.”
“But seeing you this thin now, I regret it. I shouldn’t have left you alone back then.”
“Seon-woo, it’s not like that!”
Seeing Seon-woo reproach himself, Green couldn’t just stand by and listen any longer.
“Seon-woo, it’s true that your father dislikes me, and it’s true that I was stressed from being called to monthly meetings by your mother, but the reason I lost weight is…”
“…”
“I went on a strict diet.”
At that moment, Seon-woo’s eyes widened in surprise. Embarrassed, Green’s cheeks flushed increasingly red.
