Having praised and petted the adorable Siwoo, Jeong-ae, burdened by the bags, ignored her stumbling daughter and, not knowing who she was, firmly held her grandson’s gloved hand, leading the way to the parking lot.
As the time of Jeong-ae’s arrival coincided with lunchtime, Dajeong didn’t head straight home but went to the grilled meat restaurant she had reserved in advance.
“Mom, please enjoy.”
After serving a well-cooked piece of meat onto her mother’s plate, Jeong-ae skillfully wrapped it in lettuce and put it in her mouth.
Watching her mother eat, Dajeong smiled faintly. Although she learned through Jeong-hyuk’s persuasion, she now knew that her mom liked meat.
Jeong-ae planned to stay at her daughter’s house and spend the year-end holidays together.
During the hearty meal, Jeong-ae suddenly rummaged through her handbag and took out her mobile phone. Then, holding it at a distance, she murmured something.
“By the way, is our car boss very busy at the end of the year? It’s exhausting to hear the continuous yelling these days.”
“…….”
Dajeong, who was about to put a piece of meat in her mouth, dropped the meat between her chopsticks, feeling embarrassed.
“Well… they say it’s busy at the end of the year.”
“Huh? Is that so?”
It was when Jeongae smirked. Something seemed to occur to Siwoo, and he opened his mouth wide.
“Grandma! What did you ask Santa Claus for Christmas?”
“Huh? Do grandmas also ask for things and get them? Oh my, that Santa Claus’s heart is generous too.”
The hand flipping through the report fluttered with nerves. Every time the smooth eyebrows twitched slightly, Manager Min swallowed dryly.
The uncomfortable frown that had been twisting upward shifted toward the upper part of his face.
“Font, line spacing, and margins don’t meet the company standards. And here, the spelling of the words in the footnotes is wrong. Even an elementary school student would do better than this. Am I sitting here eating expensive food just to do a spelling check?”
Manager Min, who swallowed his breath, folded his waist in half.
“I’m sorry, Director! I will reject the report right away.”
As if there was no need to see more, he threw the report carelessly and muttered curses under his breath.
Lately, Director Cha was very sensitive and sharp. It hadn’t been noticeable for a while, but it was like seeing the first Director Cha when he took office as an executive director.
It started right after coming out of the hotel that day. It wasn’t necessary to think about what had made him so extremely sensitive.
Leaving the piled-up report aside, Junhyuk grasped his warm forehead. It wasn’t easy to control emotions these days.
Sometimes anger surged for no reason, and often he felt doubt about the life he had lived.
When he posted anonymously on a dilemma site about this state, most anonymous users said it was a symptom of depression.
Junhyuk Cha, depressed. He really didn’t want to admit it, but on the other hand, it really seemed like he was in a depressed state.
He reflected on what he had said impatiently to Yoo Dajeong at the hotel.
None of the things he said that day were sincere. Maybe it was because of high expectations. The disappointment of not having Yoo Siwoo’s younger sibling was hard to shake off.
Junhyuk reluctantly revisited the countless fantasies he had recently thought about.
Imagining sleeping together in the same house every day and waking up, and also imagining watching the process of sharing meals at the same table every day.
He even imagined watching the changes in Yoo Dajeong’s belly gradually over the seasons.
If a daughter was born, he planned to hug her a lot. He really wanted to love her a lot, but…
When Junhyuk finished the temporary executive meeting and came out, the trial result of the Oh Hyeona case was announced.
The court determined that Oh Hyeona has the potential for mental disorders, acknowledging the offense but issuing a treatment probation order. The prosecution stated that they would not appeal immediately after the first trial verdict.
Until this conclusion, external pressures and various factors were likely at play. Of course, the most influential figure in this was undoubtedly Chairman Park.
There was a sincere plea from Chairman Oh, and Junhyuk had also heard some casual remarks from Chairman Park.
For some, it was the expected result following a scripted scenario, and for others, it was an unsatisfactory outcome. However, whether it was prison or a treatment facility, it was equally harsh for Oh Hyeona. So, at this point, a reasonable compromise wasn’t a bad option.
After all, the goal was isolation from society. If you couldn’t extract the proper sentence, a prolonged legal battle would only accumulate fatigue.
Three days have passed since Oh Hyeona received protective treatment and was confined to the designated facility.
Hyuna gripped the small window on the door and shouted desperately.
“Mom! Mom! Don’t leave me here!”
“Hyuna!”
