However, as soon as the man received Jun-hwi’s business card, he casually crumpled it in his hand.

“Hey! Do you think you can just drive around in a foreign car? People are hurt!”

“That part is regrettable, but the injuries are also the gentleman’s fault. It doesn’t matter what kind of car it is.”

“Ugh! Trying to settle it nicely! Call the insurance! Call the police! Call a lawyer!”

······

Jun-hwi’s jaw muscles showed ominous veins. It was a sign that he was trying hard to maintain composure.

“I have urgent matters to attend to now. If there’s an issue, contact me through the business card.”

Only then did the man roughly straighten out the crumpled business card, rubbing it against his pants.

“Oh. A lawyer······? Ro and Yul. Oh. Oh······!”

The confused man rolled his eyes, but soon started to force a smile again.

“Still, no, you’re a lawyer named Ro and Yul? Are you having a campaign right now? Even though someone is seriously injured and dying, is it okay for you to just run away alone?”

“Sir.”

“Was a person born first, or was Ro and Yul born first?”

The man blocked Jun-hwi’s car and almost lay down on the road, shouting.

Jun-hwi, who had been silently pressing his forehead, finally pulled down his tie with force and took out his mobile phone.

At that moment, Incheon Airport arrival hall.

“You said he’s coming? How long do we have to wait here?”

“Dad, he’s on his way now······.”

“Isn’t your mom tired too? Sitting awkwardly here and doing nothing!”

Yeon-woo was sweating profusely, trying to persuade her parents, who wanted to go home quickly without waiting for Jun-hwi.

“It’s been almost an hour! We never asked him to pick us up. What’s the big deal with Kim Yeon-woo’s son grabbing us like a hostage and doing this nonsense.”

“Please consider our convenience, Dad. We want to be comfortably picked up.”

This is too much. Yeon-woo even started to resent her parents, who looked down on Jun-hwi.

“That fancy lawyer can’t keep his promises, can’t drive properly. What’s going on? Is he even coming?”

“He’s almost here! He said he had an accident on the way.”

“What? An accident?”

Oops, I shouldn’t have brought that up. Seeing her mother’s surprised face, Yeon-woo realized her mistake.

“We’re almost there! They had an accident on the way.”

“What? An accident?”

Ah, she shouldn’t have mentioned that. Seeing her mother’s surprised face, Yeon-woo realized her mistake.

“Yeon-woo, we’re okay, so go to the hospital quickly.”

“No, it’s not that serious. Uh…”

He was short-sighted. Seeing her round mother’s eyes filling with worry, Yeon-woo regretted her mistake and alternately glanced at her phone and the entrance.

“Hey, let’s just tell them we went ahead. Tell them to go to the hospital.”

“No, Mom, just a little more, uh······? He’s here!”

Then, finally, Jun-hwi, dressed in an impressive suit, appeared. Yeon-woo shook hands with joy.

“Sorry for being late. Have you been waiting long?”

“No, what is this now, hmm!”
Trying to vent his frustration, Dad stopped talking when Mom pressed her side.

“You said there was an accident. Are you okay?”

“It’s just a minor fender bender, so don’t worry. I’ll take you home quickly since you must be tired.”

Taking over the luggage cart that Dad was pushing, he confidently walked ahead. Yeon-woo followed him, glancing at Dad, who continued to grumble, and Mom, who was worried, from behind.

As they had waited for a long time, Jun-hwi’s sedan was spacious and cozy. Thanks to it, peace returned once they got into the car.

“Thank you.”

When Mom smiled at him while closing the back door, Dad frowned, but the car, carrying the four of them, smoothly started. Throughout the drive near the quiet airport, it was so quiet that even the sound of swallowing saliva was audible.

“How was your trip to Australia?”

Breaking the awkward silence, Jun-hwi turned to look back and opened his mouth. He was now demonstrating his maximum sociability.

“The weather there was like spring because it’s the opposite season. It was cool and nice.”

“You had a good time at the right moment.”

“Yes. Sydney had a lot to see, like the capital.”

The capital, Sydney, in Australia.

Jun-hwi’s hand muscles twitched on the back of his hand as he momentarily grabbed the steering wheel due to Mom’s mistake.

Ah, something had undoubtedly irritated him. And Yeon-woo could figure out what it was.

‘Surely, this man isn’t demonstrating his professional spirit now.’

Yeon-woo quickly gestured for him to endure, but his lips were already opening.

“Uh, ma’am. Excuse me, but the capital of Australia is Canberra.”

“Radio! Should we listen to the radio? Haha!”

Suddenly interrupting, Yeon-woo laughed loudly, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Ah, it’s hot. Haha. It’s still hot. Mom, aren’t you hot? Dad, should I turn on the air conditioner?”

Desperately trying to stop Jun-hwi’s words, Yeon-woo turned on the radio with trembling hands. Only then did Jun-hwi, who had become aware of the situation, swallow the rest of his words.
