Due to the blatantly staring eyes, she could no longer taste the flavor.
Even so, Taehui reluctantly emptied the bowl of ginseng soup that Sajun had given her.
As Sajun said, today she would endure it well and keep herself together to properly see what it was that he liked to the point of death and what his face looked like when he liked something to death.
Jehyun’s contact came around 5 PM.
Despite the intentionally casual attire.
Jehyun was slightly surprised at the sight of Yeonseo, who looked completely different from when they first met.
But with a natural expression, Yeonseo asked him straightforwardly.
“Can you buy me some drinks?”
“It’s the first meeting, so I don’t think drinking should be the first thing.”
In anticipation of the expected rejection, Yeonseo gave a pre-prepared answer.
“I’m too nervous, so it’s hard to talk without being sober. And I’m not good at drinking, so I chose wine. Since I’m the only one drinking, you just need to listen to my story and take me home.”
With no room for further refusal, Jehyun eventually agreed.
Yeonseo mentioned a stylish wine bar about a 30-minute drive away as their destination.
As they entered the bar, the curious gazes of the female customers focused on Jehyun, adding pressure to Yeonseo’s shoulders.
Tall stature, a suit worn like a model, an atmosphere overflowing with affluence, and a handsome appearance with a touch of ruggedness, like a sexy man.
Perfect manners, smoothly pulling out the chair and pushing it back in to match Yeonseo’s movements.
This is why you should date an exceptional man.
Jehyun naturally handed over the menu.
“I really want to drink a certain wine, but it’s a bit expensive. Can I order that?”
“Order anything you want.”
Kyaa, thank you. Yeonseo greeted him with a cheerful smile and chose a two million won bottle of wine.
Nevertheless, seeing Jehyun, who didn’t seem to care much, Yeonseo whispered to herself,
This is also a pass.
Those who are broke may daydream, but there are also many guys with a lot of money who are daydreamers. Jehyun was neither.
Perhaps because of his success, his spending habits weren’t bad either.
He drives an extremely expensive car, seems to have good skills, has good looks, and on top of that, he’s affectionate and has good manners.
What was Min Taehui in her past life to be born with such luck with men?
Following that, a waiter came and set up the wine and snacks, and non-alcoholic beer was placed in front of Jehyun.
But he still wants to drink, doesn’t he?
It would have been much easier to solve if Jehyun couldn’t endure his desires and drank with her.
But she would have been disappointed.
Anyway, it was clear that Jehyun was a man with desires.
If not better than Sajun.
Nevertheless, as soon as Yeonseo emptied her glass of wine, Jehyun impatiently asked for an explanation.
Although she wanted to buy more time, Yeonseo had no choice but to explain slowly.
The complicated family history of the two intertwined individuals, the background of Sajun and Taehui becoming friends, the current relationship, Min Taehui’s life without dating during Jehyun’s absence, and the hidden details of her relationship with Sajun.
Half of it was true, and the other half was a combination of guesses.
With a poker face that revealed nothing, Jehyun listened silently to the story.
After finishing all the explanations, Yeonseo added with a pitiful expression.
“Please keep what I just said a secret. If Sajun finds out, he won’t stay quiet about it.”
Yeonseo widened her eyes with a fearful expression, as if desperately wishing to look like a pitiful baby deer being chased by a hunter.
“Not Taehui, but Sajun?”
As Jehyun asked that, his gaze was chilling.
Jehyun has never seen Kang Sajun in person, but he has heard the name so often during his courtship with Mintaehui that he’s grown tired of it.
He even felt a narrow jealousy about where the friendship between a man and a woman was heading.
Every time that happened, Mintaehui would reassure Jehyun by kissing him.
“We’re not just ordinary friends. I can’t explain it in detail, but it’s not a typical friendship. It’s like a contractual relationship where there’s a giver and a receiver. Don’t doubt my feelings.”
“You know, right, Oppa? Although Taehui Unni can be harsh, she’s not rude. But if Sajun Oppa doesn’t like someone, he won’t treat her as a woman. I’ve been threatened several times.”
“…”
“Sajun Oppa is the successor to Seomun, everyone knows that as a well-established fact. He has power and wealth. Ah, didn’t you know that?”
“…”
“Sajun Oppa proposed the relationship first. He verbally said he really likes Taehui Unni, but I think there might be other reasons from what I’ve seen. I don’t know what Sajun Oppa demanded in return for fulfilling Unni’s wishes.”
Jehyun closed his eyes quietly.
If everything Min Yeonseo said was entirely true, it felt like his heart was collapsing.
It was truly bleak.
Even if she was an illegitimate child, she was still the child of Song Hyunjeon Electronics’ Vice President.
