He had to pull himself together. He opened his eyes wide and firmly gripped the steering wheel.
He had to correct the mistake on the spot. It was a precarious moment where he could have lost even more negative points.
[Here’s the next news.]News flowed from the radio that Yeon-woo had randomly turned on.
[Joo Sung Electronics’ construction of the Myanmar factory has been completely canceled. According to the information announced this morning.]And of all things, news about Joo Sung Group spread inside the car. All four people reacted with surprise at the same time.
“Well, isn’t the weather something?”
In a hurry, Yeon-woo changed the channel, but on other channels too, news about Joo Sung Group was being reported.
[Joo Sung Chemical, focusing on the secondary battery business, reported a 12% increase in operating profit in the first half compared to the same period last year.]“Oh, yeah. Yeouido! It’s Yeouido. It’s cool. Haha! Mom, take a look too! That’s the National Assembly building over there!”
“······.”
“Does anyone not know the National Assembly building?” Watching Dad mumble, Yeon-woo turned off the radio. It seemed like silence would be better.
Jun-hwi’s car, filled with the awkward atmosphere of the four people, briskly headed towards Gapyeong.
When they arrived at Yeon-woo’s front yard, it had already become time for dinner.
“Still, thanks to you, we came comfortably. Thank you.”
“No, I’m sorry for making you wait at the airport.”
Jun-hwi, without any fuss, neatly moved Yeon-woo’s parents’ luggage to the front door.
Although Mom waved it off, Dad, clenching his fist, watched him move with a scrutinizing gaze. Unlike Mom, who greeted courteously, Dad remained silent throughout the journey.
Feeling embarrassed to see Jun-hwi, Yeon-woo spoke up.
“How about having dinner at home and then leaving? Mom! Since the timing is ambiguous, we’ll eat and leave.”
“Kim Yeon-woo.”
Dad called Yeon-woo with a serious expression. Yeon-woo protruded his lips stubbornly.
“Don’t you see that your mom is tired? Do you think a meal magically appears just because there’s a sound of chopping?”
“No, but still, the person who brought us here went through the trouble······.”
“I’m fine. Please rest if you’re tired.”
“Thank you for the trouble.”
Really, this is too much!
Yeon-woo urgently looked back at Mom. However, Mom no longer held him back.
“See you next time.”
Politely bowing at him, the front door closed in front of him.
“I’m sorry.”
“What for?”
“I’ll apologize on behalf of him.”
As soon as he sat in the passenger seat, tears welled up in his eyes. Yeon-woo silently looked at him driving while biting his lips.
Today, Mom and Dad felt strangely unfamiliar. The people who used to teach everyone to be kind and warm, why were they treating Jun-hwi so indifferently?
“Our mom and dad are a bit······ stubborn in their ways of thinking.”
“It’s okay. I’m considering it a long-term project.”
The car, running on a quiet country road, rattled slightly. Adjusting the speed, Jun-hwi kept checking if Yeon-woo was okay.
“Of course, I took a hit. There have hardly been elders I didn’t like at first sight.”
Looking at the side mirror, Jun-hwi continued speaking nonchalantly, and his usual arrogance seemed to have softened a bit.
“Still, they’re the parents who gave birth to Kim Yeon-woo. I have to treat them well.”
“If you think that way, it’s touching.”
“That’s the right thing to say.”
The car, which felt warm with each handshake, slightly shook. Yeon-woo tightly held his hand, which felt warm at every joint.
He said not to feel sorry, but is it that easy for the human heart?
Thinking that he’s being treated like a cold meal because of him, more than gratitude, an overwhelming sense of sorryness was unavoidable.
In recent days, as the weather suddenly turned cold, people put on jackets and walked briskly.
Even in the Gwanghwamun business district, a chilly wind blew between the buildings.
“It seems like the world is about to end. No autumn.”
“But they say the temperature will rise again starting this weekend.”
Kim Seung-ho gently reassured the grumbling complaints of the two lawyers. Jun-hwi, along with the two lawyers, was on his way back to the office after a meeting held in a different building of Lo&L.
“Lawyer Kim Seung-ho.”
“Yes, Lawyer Kwon. Please speak.”
“Do you play golf?”
At the pedestrian crosswalk, waiting for the signal to change, Jun-hwi, flipping through his phone, suddenly looked for Kim Seung-ho.
“Yes! I’m confident that I won’t lose even against the pros!”
“Then, this Saturday, play golf with Manager M from M Electronics instead of me.”
“What? Me?”
As surprised as Kim Seung-ho, the two lawyers also feigned surprise at the unexpected proposal.
“Entertaining clients. Is this the Kwon Jun-hwi I know? Where have you been hurt lately?”
“I’m perfectly fine. Then, I’ll respond that Lawyer Kim will attend.”
Jun-hwi intentionally brushed off the intrigued gazes of the two lawyers.
“Yes, Lawyer Kwon, I’ll do my best not to tarnish your reputation!”
“Take it easy. Just play in a way that’s thrilling but not too risky, and come back.”
“As expected······! That’s the kind of skill you need! That’s why I admire Lawyer Kwon.”
While Jun-hwi suppressed Kim Seung-ho’s praise with his gaze, he ended up looking at the smiling guy’s eyes.
“By the way, anything urgent happening this weekend? Oh! Is it related to Assistant Yeon-woo?”
“······.”
In Jun-hwi’s sidelong glance, Kim Seung-ho suggested crossing the street, saying the signal had changed.
“Seems like it. What’s the good news?”
The two lawyers nodded as if they knew. They were quick to catch on. Jun-hwi just pretended not to hear.
Good news, indeed.
Finally, Yeon-woo’s parents formally invited Jun-hwi for this weekend.
Perhaps in the meantime, Yeon-woo had continued to persuade and convince them, struggling to make this happen.
In such a situation, is something like M Electronics important now? Considering all the meetings in Kwon Jun-hwi’s life, there would be none more critical than this one.
Even in the current situation where Yeon-woo hasn’t clearly given an answer to marriage, if the parents oppose it, the path ahead would become even more tumultuous.
This weekend was undeniably the chance of a lifetime for Jun-hwi to firmly win both of them over to his side.
“No need to report on the day of the entertainment. Let’s do it on Monday.”
“Yes. I won’t interfere with Lawyer Kwon’s important day. I support you, Lawyer!”
Kim Seung-ho shouted “fighting” loudly enough to echo in the lobby.
It’s irritating, but support isn’t bad. Jun-hwi also silently agreed.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
