“Really?”
Joo-ah’s face instantly softened with emotion, touched that Ga-eul had thought of her. Ga-eul also smiled at her response.
It was an expensive Japanese restaurant she had previously visited with a man named Shin Yeon-woo. It was uncomfortable then, but with Joo-ah, it felt just right.
The first course, abalone porridge, was different from last time. Joo-ah took a spoonful, her eyes widened in delight.
“Wow… it’s worth the price. Really delicious.”
“Yeah, it’s good.”
Then came tuna radish stew, salad, and assorted sashimi. It was an elegant spread.
As Ga-eul, too, found her appetite whetted, she picked up a piece of sashimi. While engrossed in eating, Joo-ah suddenly asked.
“By the way, who was the person you came here with?”
“Just someone I happened to meet…”
Ga-eul gave a vague answer when asked about Shin Yeon-woo.
Then, Joo-ah cheekily asked with a grin.
“Was it a man?”
“Yes… but not in the way you’re thinking, Joo-ah.”
“Oh.”
“Really, it was just a meal. We happened to eat together.”
The conversation didn’t stop there. While focusing on driving, he casually asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
“Was it helpful?”
“Of course. After all, it was a gathering of artworks from galleries all across Seoul.”
He didn’t respond, but the corners of his mouth subtly curved upward.
Seeing him seemingly happy, Ga-eul also forgot about the earlier incident and looked at him.
Then she called out.
“Director.”
“Why?”
As he continued to drive, focusing ahead, Ga-eul had the chance to gaze at the side of his face, still adorned with a pleasant smile.
It was easy to see why Hyesoo might be attracted to him. He had a nonchalant yet appealing presence.
The straight forehead leading to a high nose bridge, the sharply defined yet strong jawline, and the lips that rarely showed a pleasant mood were now subtly curved in a smile. Intrigued, Ga-eul smiled too.
There was a sense of reluctance to part ways like this. It had been a pleasant day, and the breeze sneaking through the slightly open window felt refreshing.
Ga-eul tentatively asked.
“Director, would you like to have dinner together?”
She asked casually but internally felt tense.
“Dinner?”
“Yes, I’ll pay today… as a thank you.”
She wanted to reciprocate for bringing her to the exhibition. He had made an effort to invite her along.
Hyesoo had said he wasn’t someone who typically brings someone along.
Feeling somewhat special, her mood brightened.
As Ga-eul smiled, he chuckled and nodded in agreement.
“Okay.”
His car cruised pleasantly through the air.
Ga-eul had planned a special day with Joo-ah.
“Isn’t this place too expensive?”
As they entered the restaurant, Joo-ah, already nervous, was shocked by the menu prices. Ga-eul reassured her with a smile.
It was expensive, but she felt it was worth it for Joo-ah, who always did so much for her. Besides, it was also Joo-ah’s birthday.
“I’ve always wanted to come here with you.”
“Hey, but… the prices are exorbitant.”
“I’ve been here with someone else before, but I kept thinking of you.”
“Really?”
Touched by Ga-eul’s words, Joo-ah’s face lit up with emotion. She thanked Ga-eul repeatedly while Ga-eul smiled back at her.
It was an expensive Japanese restaurant she had visited with a man named Shin Yeon-woo. Although uncomfortable at that time, with Joo-ah, it felt just right.
The first dish, abalone porridge, was followed by tuna radish stew, salad, and assorted sashimi. It was an elegant spread.
Both Ga-eul and Joo-ah savored their meal. While eating, Joo-ah suddenly asked.
“Who was the person you came here with?”
“Just someone I met…”
Ga-eul gave a vague answer about Shin Yeon-woo.
Then, Joo-ah teasingly asked.
“Was it a man?”
“Yes… but not in the way you’re thinking, Joo-ah.”
“Oh.”
“Really, it was just a meal we happened to have together.”
In a warm and congenial atmosphere, her father subtly played a card.
“If our Hyesoo marries the chairman’s second grandson, we’re thinking of giving a plot of land in Pyeongtaek as a dowry… What do you think?”
“Heh heh, what an offer.”
“We believe it’s a modest gift. Please accept it, Chairman.”
Building a large hotel with the Taesan name on the Pyeongtaek land could make it highly valuable within a few years. The only hotels nearby were ones that couldn’t compare to 5-star standards.
While it could bring in significant revenue, what appealed more was the prospect of enhancing Taesan’s name and stature. Titles and reputation were of utmost importance.
After a brief silence, Baek Ho spoke softly.
“It would indeed be lovely to have Hyesoo as our grandson’s wife.”
“Really, Chairman?”
Hyesoo covered her mouth with her hand, beaming with joy.
Even though he had previously dismissed the existence of Ga-eul as insignificant, his response now was different.
“If Hyesoo is concerned about Ga-eul, I’ll make sure to warn her to be cautious.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
