Not too long ago, on the day when Madam Kim Malhee visited her house, Soeun felt a strange sensation. A feeling as if someone was following her.

That day, Madam Kim Malhee suddenly appeared, so she forgot about this incident. But now that she thought about it, the strange feeling of being followed persisted from getting off the bus to in front of her house. Madam Kim Malhee had encountered her in front of her house. It was highly unlikely that the weaker and slower Malhee was following her and guarding her house.

And when she was in the middle of a confrontation with Malhee, Taejoon appeared. When asked how he came, he answered that he just stopped by. Now that she thought about it, it was a strange occurrence. Was it really a coincidence?

Could someone have quietly followed me from behind? So I alerted Taejoon because I was in danger.

As Soeun reached her one-room villa, she looked around, turning her body around. There were no suspicious signs. Soeun let out a deep sigh and took two more steps. Just before reaching for the doorknob of the entrance gate of the one-room villa, her hand suddenly stopped.

“Ahh!”

With a loud scream, Soeun hastily opened the door and rushed into the building. She went up to the third floor without a break, in a hurry, as if feeling very threatened.

And after separating from the team members after dinner, on the way home. Soeun got lost in her thoughts again.

Not too long ago, on the day when Madam Kim Malhee visited her house, Soeun felt a strange sensation. A feeling as if someone was following her.

That day, Madam Kim Malhee suddenly appeared, so she forgot about this incident. But now that she thought about it, the strange feeling of being followed persisted from getting off the bus to in front of her house. Madam Kim Malhee had encountered her in front of her house.
In response to her question, he seemed to barely regain his composure, blinking his eyes widely before responding.

“Before going on a business trip, I thought we could have dinner together.”

“I already had dinner, Director.”

“…Actually, I came because I suddenly wanted to see you. Is everything okay?”

After confirming Soeun’s resolute state, he seemed to be okay.

“Nothing special, but when I entered my one-room, I saw a cockroach. A cockroach about this size.”

Soeun provided Taejoon with a more reassuring answer. However, her lips twisted momentarily.

She didn’t want to suspect him. She didn’t want to dislike this man rushing to her like this, fearing for her safety. No, she didn’t want to dislike him for a moment.

Are you stalking Yang Hee-wook too?

What about the business trip to the United States? Was it about promoting the merger of Yang Hee-wook’s company? To revoke Yang Hee-wook’s lawyer qualification?

Did you threaten to kill Yang Hee-wook?

Did you kill Yang Hee-wook’s father? That’s not true, right?

Even if he had really bad intentions, she believed he wouldn’t go that far. Soeun abandoned the idea of suffering alone and asked directly.

“Did you assign a bodyguard to me?”

It was the easiest question to get an answer to.

His eyes, which had briefly relaxed, shook again. His gaze, appearing to examine her expression anxiously, was somewhat nervous.

He decided to speak as if he already knew everything.

“Don’t assign anyone to me. No, you can assign someone, but please inform me.”

I know you did it to protect me. I know it well. So, on one hand, I’m grateful.

“When you went on a business trip, I’ll be safe, so don’t worry too much. And since it turned out this way, I’ll get along well with the bodyguard. It seems less scary that way.”

“No, I…”

“I know. When Director mentioned a personal bodyguard, I refused outright, right?”

Soeun interrupted his words and conveyed her prediction.

No matter what you did, now I can only love you. That’s right.

“I wouldn’t feel bad about that, but it would be disappointing if Director deceived me.”

She had no choice but to choose symbiosis.

“Thank you for caring. Have a safe trip on your business, and, since it turned out this way, I’ll get along well with the bodyguard. It seems less scary that way.”

Soeun lifted the corners of her lips forcefully, as if everything had been resolved. As if no lingering doubts remained.

Taejoon took a step closer and pulled her waist. Soeun hid in his broad embrace as if concealing what she saw and heard.

The chairman’s life is exhausting.

After attending a government-sponsored event in Cheonan, Jaepil, rising, signaled his secretary a few steps away to send a signal. Before moving to Seoul, he needed to visit the restroom.
At the urging of those around him, Jaepil often moves around with his secretary and bodyguards, but in reality, he is someone who occasionally wants to have time alone. Especially when people follow him one after another, and he has to go to the restroom, he feels even more uncomfortable. Even in his eighties, Jaepil remains the same.

Moreover, these days, with many intimidating young people around, he worries about what thoughts they might have when they see the chairman, who even goes to the restroom accompanied by people. Since false information spreads quickly, Jaepil has become cautious about his appearance even in the restroom.

Although there was no one in the restroom, someone was there when he finished his business. Jaepil went to the sink next to the man who was washing his hands slowly and washed his hands. At that moment, the man spoke.

“Chairman Kim Jaepil. It’s an honor to meet you like this.”

“Who are you? Do you know me?”

“It’s hard not to know. You’re the leader of K Group, the top company in our country.”

“Hehe. That’s right. Nice to meet you.”

“But by any chance, do you know that your granddaughter is dating someone?”

The story that started as a light restroom talk soon became serious. The vigilant bodyguard who sensed something suspicious approached. Jaepil raised one hand to stop the bodyguard. He wanted to hear more of the story, whether it was nonsense or truth. Regardless of the madman’s crazy talk or the truth, his precious grandson’s story was always an interesting topic.

Moreover, it was about dating. Since Jaepil’s grandson had never introduced a girlfriend, Jaepil’s eyes became more intense. The man who noticed that Jaepil was interested continued talking excitedly.

“Her name is Han Soeun, an engineer working in the same headquarters as Director Kim Taejun. Haven’t you heard?”

The initially joyful expression on the chairman’s face stiffened.

“I am Yang Hee-wook, a lawyer who took away your granddaughter’s boyfriend, Director Kim Taejun.”
