Kwon-yul quickly adjusted the bouquet, lifting the corners of his mouth slightly.

As if in a scene from a movie, the door opened slowly, and Kwon-yul straightened his shoulders.

“Nice to meet you. I am Kwon-yul.”

As Kwon-yul politely bowed, sharp glances quickly swept over him.

Upon seeing Kwon-yul, Kyung-sook almost let out a sigh.

‘Now I understand why our Seo-yeon likes him, I get it.’

Regardless of appearance, everyone has their own unique atmosphere. Kwon-yul’s aura was different.

Tae-seok’s thoughts weren’t much different from Kyung-sook’s.

Although he hadn’t heard anything specific about Kwon-yul, the feeling itself was different from the real chaebol, Min-hyuk.

If Min-hyuk had sharp, distinct lines, Kwon-yul seemed soft yet with an unapproachable, bold curve.

Moreover, considering his age, Kyung-sook thought of him as a young college student. However, he had a height larger than the door and a well-built physique. Both of them looked up at him for quite a while.

Even if they tried to find faults, Kwon-yul looked impeccable, from his appearance to his facial features.

Then, Kyung-sook unintentionally blurted out her sincere thoughts.

“Seo-yeon said the person is a college student. A college student… Is that right?”

Tae-seok, whose shoulder jerked up at the abrupt comment, tapped Kyung-sook’s arm.

“It’s not something said with ill intentions; it’s just because he looks too refined.”

“Thank you for your kind words.”

Kwon-yul, folding his eyes slightly, spoke with a calm voice.

‘I hope Seo-yeon doesn’t create a scene about not being able to part with him.’

Kyung-sook felt uneasy about Kwon-yul’s special charm. However, on the other hand, she wanted to praise Seo-yeon’s discerning eyes.

“I couldn’t come empty-handed and hastily prepared this. I don’t know how you’ll feel about it.”

As Kwon-yul handed over the large bouquet, Kyung-sook, who received it in a daze, alternately looked at the flowers and Tae-seok’s face.

An awkward silence ensued.

Thinking that he shouldn’t let the conversation pause, Kwon-yul quickly continued. Today, he had to create a comfortable atmosphere somehow.

“It’s fascinating to meet Seo-yeon’s parents like this.”

“…….”

“Seo-yeon’s refreshing eyes are just like her father’s, and the overall image is similar to her mother’s.”

Kwon-yul continued pouring out words that stuck to the ears, and Seo-yeon’s parents looked at him alternately, not knowing what to say.

At that moment, a noisy commotion came from the house across the street.

As the sound of a whining child dropping a toy echoed, Kyung-sook, who was taken aback, hastily grabbed Kwon-yul’s arm.

“Seo-yeon’s dad, close the door quickly.”

Kwon-yul, who had entered the house abruptly, stood still as Kyung-sook hurriedly pulled him.

“Excuse me… Student Kwon-yul. No, what should I call you?”

“Call me Yul.”

“Can you just call someone by their name the first time you meet them?”

Kyung-sook whispered, and Tae-seok, observing the situation outside, mumbled sensitively.

“The neighbor seems to be interested in our Seo-yeon. Maybe spreading various rumors in the neighborhood.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Kwon-yul also lowered his voice as if it couldn’t be helped. Tae-seok pointed to the sofa, indicating that they should go inside.

‘He won’t ask us to leave immediately, right? We need to somehow obtain permission for a relationship.’

Thinking about what to do next, Kwon-yul followed the two into the house.

The living room, filled with the scent of jasmine, was bathed in the dazzling sunlight, looking extraordinarily neat.

Moreover, throughout the house, there were tasteful paintings that seemed to be Seo-yeon’s works, neatly arranged.

Kwon-yul, taking in every piece on the wall, stepped forward.

With an awkward face, Tae-seok pointed to the sofa and finally spoke in a normal tone.
“The couple next door is looking after their grandchildren. I’ll be here until the kids finish riding their bikes and come inside.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Inwardly, they must think we’re strange.”

Kyung-sook awkwardly smiled, her face turning red.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Usually, we wouldn’t go to such lengths. Yesterday, they came chasing after us, spreading rumors about some love affair, and I felt uncomfortable. That’s why.”

Understanding Kyung-sook’s words, Kwon-yul softened his gaze.

“I’m okay with it. Sir, ma’am.”

Every time he said ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am,’ the two of them looked at each other somewhat awkwardly.

“Our grandfather always says to show respect when meeting adults for the first time.”

Kwon-yul stood in front of the sofa, politely bringing his hands together. Tae-seok sent an interesting glance for the first time.

“May I bow?”

At the mention of bowing, Kyung-sook, surprised, extended her hand.

“Oh! Bowing… What. It’s okay.”

However, Tae-seok, as if facing a person who made an impressive gesture, subtly raised the corners of his mouth.

“Our Seo-yeon just bows her head. How did a young person like you think of that?”
