Twelve years ago, to save the struggling paper company, his father had put in all his efforts and, with the help of various acquaintances, managed to barely save the company.
Learning from this bitter experience, his father became more cautious and astute in managing the business. Three years later, the company stabilized and even began to see an increase in revenue.
The following year, they expanded into manufacturing printing machines, achieving the remarkable feat of exporting to China and Japan, thus solidifying their position as a trading company.
Around that time, Juwon graduated with a degree in business administration and joined his father’s company at his suggestion.
Then, as his father remarried Aeran, Juwon moved to an apartment in Jamsil.
Aeran was sophisticated and had a gentle nature. Juwon had no particular reason to resent his father’s remarriage, so he has maintained a cordial relationship with Aeran since then.
After the remarriage, Father suggested that they have a meal together once a month, barring any special events, and today was that day.
Having worked late at the company from Wednesday to yesterday, Saturday, Juwon intended to visit another time, but for some reason, Father insisted he must come today.
So, Juwon arrived at his father’s house, only to find unfamiliar guests.
“Oh, Juwon, you’re here?”
Aeran greeted Juwon more enthusiastically than usual, smiling brightly.

Then, sitting on the living room sofa, Juwon saw a middle-aged couple and a young lady who seemed to be their daughter.
“Say hello. They are President Han and his wife from my business associate.”
Following his father’s words, Juwon politely bowed in greeting.
“Hello, I’m Juwon Lee.”
President Han looked at Juwon with a pleased expression, and his wife and daughter gazed at him in awe.
“My, my, how can your son be so handsomely sculpted? He looks even better in person than in photos.”
The wife exclaimed in admiration, and the daughter sitting beside her blushed.
Juwon, unrealistically handsome, made her heart flutter.
“That’s right. Our Juwon is handsome in photos but even more so in person,” said Aeran, laughing happily, resonating with the wife’s comment.
Juwon, unable to comprehend the situation, glanced at his father, who cleared his throat before explaining.

“I promised to have a meal with President Han sometime, and today he was available, so I arranged this meeting.”
The ‘incidentally’ part of his statement clearly implied that this was also about the daughter, blushing and staring at Juwon.
“Subin, why aren’t you greeting him yet?”
Startled by her mother’s words, Subin slowly stood up and shyly greeted Juwon.
“Hello, Juwon. I’m Han Subin.”
As Subin greeted him, her mother laughed heartily.
“Oh, look at her, calling him ‘Juwon’ already after just meeting?”
The mother laughed merrily, causing Subin’s face to turn even redder.
“Ho ho ho. That’s the charm of Subin, right? Look at her blushing cheeks.”
Aeran joined in the laughter, and Juwon’s father and President Han smiled too.

The only person not smiling at the moment was Juwon himself.
As he pondered how to react in this staged scene, a maid came out from the kitchen.
“Madam, dinner is ready.”
“Alright. Shall we go to dinner?”
Aeran invited President Han and his wife with a smile.
On the sumptuous table laid an array of delicacies, filling the air with tempting aromas.
“My, you’ve prepared so much! You shouldn’t have gone to such trouble.”
The wife commented, to which Aeran responded with a smile.
“It’s only right to take care of esteemed guests. Ho ho.”
The couple seemed pleased with Aeran’s hospitality.

During the meal, the conversation focused mainly on Juwon and Subin, almost as if it was prearranged.
Juwon, uncomfortable with the blatant setup, responded politely as this was the first time his father had arranged such a meeting.
And Subin, as if intoxicated by Juwon’s deep, pleasant voice, perked up her ears and watched him whenever he spoke.
Subin’s cheeks reddened even more due to the fluttering and churning of her heart, overwhelming her with excitement.
As they were finishing their meal, Juwon’s phone rang.
He pulled out his phone from his jacket pocket and looked at the screen.
And Subin saw it.
For the first time since they had started eating, a smile swiftly spread across Juwon’s previously expressionless face.
