“I can’t do that. Sunwoo isn’t some insignificant person, and how can I beat Grandpa, who comes out like that? I’ll try to persuade Grandpa somehow. So, please trust only me, Sunwoo!”
Suddenly regaining courage, Green, whose hand Sunwoo was holding, opened the front door without waiting for him.
“Grandpa, we’re here!”
When Green’s excessively cheerful voice echoed awkwardly, Sunwoo smiled as if surprised.
As the two entered the living room, Park Chan-wook warmly welcomed them.
“Come on in. What is Sunwoo holding?”
“It’s the photo we gave you as a birthday present last time. I brought it, enlarged as much as possible.”
If the photo given as a birthday present was A4 size, the enlarged photo turned out to be about the size of a sketchbook. Green, who had anticipated hanging it in a room or office, thought this size would be sufficient.
However, upon seeing the size of the frame, Park Chan-wook seemed slightly disappointed and muttered, “It’s too small to hang in the company lobby.”
“You were planning to hang this in the lobby?”
No matter how advanced technology has become, enlarging a photo taken with a smartphone camera to the extent of hanging it in the lobby was impractical.
“Hanging Sunwoo’s photo in the lobby is not a good idea. Just hang it in the living room or bedroom.”
Although Green tried to console him, Park Chan-wook checked the photo again and continued to express his dissatisfaction.
At that moment, Park In-young came in with a tea set and sat next to Park Chan-wook.
“Mother! You’re already here? How have you been?”
“Yes, let’s have a cup of tea.”
As In-young set up the tea, she glanced at Sunwoo and Green holding hands and raised her eyebrows slightly.
“A ring I haven’t seen before.”
“I haven’t given her a wedding ring until now. I got it fitted this time.”
Since Green already had a ring from In-young, she subtly showed her awareness. However, In-young’s subsequent words were completely unexpected for Green.
“The diamond is a bit small. If you’re going to do it, you should have chosen a bigger one.”
“I also got a bigger one. This one is for everyday wear.”
“Good job.”
Relieved by In-young’s reaction, Green cautiously looked around. Somehow, she couldn’t see her father, Jin Young-cheol.
“Is Father coming late?”
“No, Father won’t come. He said not to come because he doesn’t want to see you.”
“What?”
Although Green felt good that Jin Young-cheol wouldn’t come, she was also surprised by In-young’s harsh tone.
“Why is that?”
“Well, Mother said she doesn’t want to see Father, so he told him not to come because it’s unpleasant to see.”
“What?”
In response to the news that Jin Young-cheol wouldn’t come, Green was pleased, but at the same time, she was shocked by In-young’s aggressive tone.
“Why would he say that?”
“Well, your mother said she doesn’t want to see your father, so he told him not to come because it’s unpleasant to see.”
“What?”
Surprised by the unexpected turn of events, Green asked, “What do you do in that situation?”
“What?”
In-young, taken aback by such a question, asked in confusion.
“Honestly, considering our father, there must have been many days when Mother didn’t want to see him. I wanted to ask how she endured it, but I can’t ask…. So, how do you endure it, Mother?”
In-young, who knew the state of Ahn Sa-don, suddenly sympathized with Green. She sighed lightly and poured tea into the teacup.
“What can you do? You shouldn’t see the unpleasant sight until your heart settles. I don’t know how it was for Ahn Sa-don, but I’ve lived like that.”
“What can we do? For now, we shouldn’t witness the situation until our hearts settle. I don’t know how it was for An Sa-don, but I’ve lived like that.”
Seeing Green nodding as if she had learned a very important fact, In-young felt a peculiar emotion.
She had never considered Han Moon-taek’s household and son-in-law until now. However, as she spent a year accompanying Green as her daughter-in-law in various situations, it now seemed natural to think of Green as her daughter-in-law.
The connection with Gobu, formed due to Han Moon-taek’s coercion, was, objectively speaking, not Green’s fault at all.
No, from what she observed, Green was also a victim of Han Moon-taek. Otherwise, even if she made promises to herself, she thought it would be impossible to cut off contact with her birth father for a year.
More than anything, In-young was drawn to Green’s transparent and honest personality, visible to the extent of being see-through. In-young thought she could understand why Sunwoo smiled when thinking of Green.
Perhaps because of this, thinking of Han Moon-taek and his wife as Green’s parents now felt peculiar.
At that moment, Sunwoo, calmly wiping his lips with tea given by In-young, quietly lowered the teacup.
“I have something to tell the chairman.”
“All right, let’s hear it.”
“My father told me to resign immediately and come back to the main family. The chairman wants to kick me out, saying that I leaked to the media that I am an adulteress.”
“So?”
“The vice-chairman asked me that at that time, right? Whether that fact affects my decision. I couldn’t answer right away at that time. Honestly, I thought about it.”
Park Chan-wook slowly raised the teacup and sipped tea. However, the gaze he directed at Sunwoo was very sharp.
“Does this mean you now have an answer?”
“Yes. Regardless of the chairman’s intentions, I won’t engage in politics. Even if you don’t hand over K1 Construction, I won’t resign first.”
“Will you live satisfied as a K1 Construction employee for the rest of your life?”
“It’s not just an ordinary salaryman. If you consider performance bonuses, I’ll be in the top 3% of salary earners.”
In response to Sunwoo’s confident reply, Park Chan-wook chuckled.
The sound was so loud that, unlike In-young, who calmly sipped her tea, Green was startled and almost dropped her teacup. Was that statement really that funny?
As Green widened her eyes and looked at Park Chan-wook with surprise, he put down his teacup and playfully addressed her.
“Should I give my son-in-law and daughter-in-law a chance for a match? Let’s play another round of Gomoku.”
Worried that Green might feel intimidated being alone with Park Chan-wook again, Sunwoo stepped in.
“Let’s play a game of Go today.”
“No, I want to play Gomoku with Green.”
On the other hand, concerned that Sunwoo might be hurt by his grandfather, Green quickly accepted Park Chan-wook’s offer.
“Maybe this time I’ll win, Grandfather.”
“Come on, please win this time.”
