Flustered, Seokgu’s lips twitched, but his gaze flashed with anger as much as his eyes.

“So, you lured the innocent you.”

“No, it was actually me.”

Suddenly, a popping sound came from Seokgu’s mouth, like the release of trapped air.

“Well, you’ve been to the military. You could do that too.”

The man’s self-understanding words, spoken with arrogance, were more unpleasant.

It felt like precious time had turned into a momentary gamble, and Kwonyul wanted to plug his ears.

“Think of it as a good experience and tidy up here.”

“I have no intention of doing that.”

“Then what, you’re going to get married or something?”

“There’s no reason I can’t.”

Seokgu, dismissing the absurdity, let out a snort.

“A marriage just because a man and a woman spent the night together? Don’t talk nonsense.”

“I’m already an adult. If I set my mind to it, I can get married right now.”

“Marriage is a union of families. You want to marry an old woman you don’t even know where she’s from!”

At the end of Seokgu’s words about her age, it felt pointless to continue arguing.

“Even if you say it’s not allowed, I will. Even if you absolutely say it’s not allowed, I will still do it.”

“You, you brat!”

Seokgu, unable to suppress his anger, poured out the harshest words toward his first grandson, Kwonyul.

“I don’t care whether Grandfather believes or not, what Bora said doesn’t matter.”

Bora’s words were of no concern.

“Ms. Seoyeon is not someone Bora can casually mention.”

“You’ve completely lost your mind.”

“Yes, that’s right, Grandfather. I like her more, and I’m hanging onto her to the death.”

If there were any gaps or if he fell behind even a little, it was certain that Seokgu would be pulled along as he wanted.

“If Grandfather meets Ms. Seoyeon separately, my marriage timeline will be twice as fast.”

“What, what?”

“I will marry her right away.”

This was not a threat, but a sincere expression of his wholehearted feelings.

Knowing Seokgu’s personality so well, Kwonyul was sure that he would undoubtedly go to see Seoyeon.

“And tomorrow, I will visit Bora’s parents and clearly tell them that I have no thoughts of marriage.”

He decided not to ignore Bora’s actions anymore.

If he couldn’t understand the words, he planned to use all means and methods to make it clear.

“Yul, are you going to throw away a reliable background like it’s a piece of trash?”

Seokgu tapped his chest with his fist, frustrated.

“I don’t want to be a person who needs a background. I want to stand in the center and shine the brightest.”

At this moment, what was most needed was not a reliable background but Seoyeon, who always gave strength.

“Even though you love and respect Grandfather…?”

As he slowly raised his eyelids, tears gathered in his pitch-black eyes.

“In matters related to Ms. Seoyeon, I will never yield.”

Finally, tears flowed down.

Then Seokgu sighed inwardly.

‘If he foolishly steps forward like he did with Jaehyeong, he might mess things up properly.’

Kwonyul made up his mind to be more cautious, looking at Seokgu’s tearful eyes.

“And, regarding Ms. Seoyeon or the move, please don’t say hurtful words to Mom anymore.”

“No move.”

“I will move. I’ve already put it on the real estate market.”

Seokgu’s anger and persuasion were not at all effective on the calm Kwonyul.

“To maintain a good relationship with Grandfather, I think stepping back a bit is also a way.”

“You haven’t inherited all this wealth yet. Don’t act so arrogant!”

There were hundreds of words he wanted to retort with, but continuing the conversation seemed meaningless.

“Even if Grandfather does as he pleases with the property, it doesn’t matter to me. I have as much as I need.”
For Seokgu, the ultimate weapon that couldn’t be utilized was the desire to jump up and down in frustration. However, Kwonyul continued speaking without a change in facial expression.

“If you meet Ms. Seoyeon in a place where I’m not present and see her getting married within this year, I will definitely show you.”

With that statement, Kwonyul concluded the uncomfortable conversation with Seokgu.

“Grandfather, I will take my leave now.”

Seokgu, perhaps still in shock, did not hold onto Kwonyul.

Why do family members hurt each other’s feelings like this? Suppressing a bewildering heart, Kwonyul bowed his waist.

“Sigh…”

A dark gray sky where time cannot be measured.

Kwonyul crossed the garden and let out a heavy sigh.

Then, he suddenly thought of Seoyeon.

“Ah… my phone.”

In the haste of moving too quickly, he momentarily forgot that Seoyeon had promised to contact him once the home shopping job was over.

Kwonyul quickly rushed to his car and grabbed the phone he had thrown on the passenger seat.

The moment he confirmed Seoyeon’s calls, an uncontrollable desire to see her overwhelmed him.

Without hesitation, Kwonyul’s body instinctively headed towards Seoyeon’s house.

His fingertips turned cold as if blood was draining from his entire body.
