After finishing dinner at Chairman Park Chan-wook’s house and returning home, Green and Sunwoo were immersed in their own thoughts.
The dinner was not just a simple family gathering as it turned out. Jin Young-cheol, who had been harboring resentment against Han Man-taek for a year, was finally ready to retaliate. Furthermore, the last words of In-young left a significant impression.
“Does your refusal to enter politics mean you intend to stay with K1 Construction?”
“Yes.”
“I hope you won’t change your mind.”
Sunwoo was constantly troubled by In-young’s words, which seemed to carry an underlying meaning beyond the surface.
On the other hand, Green, who received a direct threat from Park Chan-wook, was utterly terrified. Despite his pitiful look, Park Chan-wook’s words were no ordinary matter.
“From now on, I’m going to make things tough for you. But don’t hate me too much for it.”
Who wouldn’t be scared when a chairman of a major corporation openly declares to make life difficult? To make matters worse, he even said not to hate him!
Feeling unjustly victimized since she, the weaker party, wouldn’t even have the freedom to resent her tormentor, Green felt aggrieved.
Another crisis struck her that night.
After a quick shower, Green sat at her vanity for a long time, diligently applying skincare products to her face.
Sunwoo, like on the day he returned from his trip, occupied the inner side of the bed, leaning against the headboard and reviewing documents.
After Green’s declaration to sleep in separate rooms failed, the two had agreed to share the same room, even sharing the same bed.
“I promise we won’t do anything that could lead to having a child. As a man, I swear on my honor. If Green gets excited and pounces on me, I’ll bite down on my silver teeth guard and…”
“Oh, come on!”
Considering Sunwoo’s impulsive forehead kiss during their movement to the bedroom, Green couldn’t fully trust his promise. Such impulsive actions were unexpected variables for him too, and there was no saying such variables wouldn’t occur again.
However, Sunwoo didn’t mention it again, and neither did Green, not wanting to seem overly concerned about a minor skinship. After all, doubting each other’s trust over every small touch seemed petty.
Especially since Sunwoo, as a man of his word, had promised with his honor, Green found it hard to continually refuse him. From her experience, Sunwoo had always been a man to keep his word.
But sharing the same bed was always a tense situation for her.
Therefore, Green unknowingly prolonged her time before heading to bed, meticulously washing her face, drying her hair, and carefully applying basic makeup.
“Green, stop patting your face and come to bed. You’re going to burst all the blood vessels in your face.”
Caught by Sunwoo’s comment, Green came back to her senses. She had been patting her face so hard and continuously that it had turned red.
“They say you need to pat your face a thousand times for the skincare to absorb properly.”
Green made a rather unbelievable excuse and slowly moved next to Sunwoo.
She cautiously lay down at the edge of the bed, and Sunwoo turned off the reading light, plunging the bedroom into darkness. However, Sunwoo remained seated instead of lying down.
“Green, did Chairman Park Chan-wook say anything unusual?”
“He actually said something quite strange and scary.”
Sunwoo chuckled in disbelief at Green’s words. He knew that Chairman Park Chan-wook was quite fond of Green.
However, as Green recounted everything Park Chan-wook had said, Sunwoo’s expression turned serious. Turning on the reading light again, Green squinted as if the light was too bright.
“Did Chairman really say that?”
“Yes. At first, I thought it was a joke, but his eyes… they weren’t kidding. He looked at me with pity, yet his gaze was incredibly cold.”
Sunwoo sighed deeply, realizing that Green’s words were true. He knew from years of experience that when Park Chan-wook had that look in his eyes, it meant he was about to make a significant and decisive move.
“When I said I wasn’t going into politics and would stay with K1 Construction, the Vice Chairman said, ‘I hope that thought doesn’t change.'”
“Do you think what Grandfather said to me and what Mother said to you are connected?”
“I’m not sure…”
Sunwoo looked thoughtfully at Green for a moment.
With only the reading light on, Green involuntarily swallowed as Sunwoo gazed at her.
“Green, if Chairman himself is taking action, something big might happen.”
“I suppose so.”
“We need to be mentally prepared.”
“Yes.”
“Would it be okay if I held you?”
“Now? Right now?”
Startled, Green asked, and Sunwoo, seemingly surprised himself, quickly withdrew his arms.
“No, I mean later when you feel very tired and scared. At that time…”
Suddenly relaxed, Green burst into laughter, followed by a helpless smile from Sunwoo.
“Sunwoo, you tend to be concise in your speech, so sometimes it’s easy to misunderstand without context.”
“Is that so?”
