By now, even Da Jung had some understanding of him. Applying logic to his obstinate argument was pointless.
Then, persuasion it was.
“So don’t worry. I won’t get married for the rest of my life. I only need Shi Woo. I can raise Shi Woo on my own so Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk doesn’t have to worry.”
“……”
“I will raise our Shi Woo well, so Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk, I hope you live your life observing from afar.”
Despite trying to appease him like a child, he who held an uneasy expression instead tilted his head defiantly.
“I don’t feel like it.”
“If you keep doing this, Shi Woo and I will hide somewhere you don’t know.”
Despite his obstinacy that didn’t respond to any threats, only a smile of amusement lingered on his lips.
“Go ahead. I’m not hiding. You know everything about me now, right? Even my name and age.”
“Do you know how much it will cost us if the construction schedule is extended because of the materials?” The site supervisor grumbled, exhaling a cloud of cigarette smoke. Taking off his safety helmet, Do Jun cooled his heated head and laughed.
“Even if we suffer losses, I’m the one who will bear them, why are you angry, Supervisor?”
“It’s all out of worry for President Kwon. Don’t you know how I feel?”
“I do know. Why wouldn’t I understand your feelings, Supervisor?”
Do Jun, chuckling in a teasing manner, gave a friendly smile.
He had come down to the Cheonan site after hearing about the delay in material supply due to a freight accident. Do Jun looked up at the clear sky.
“It’s going to rain for the next two days anyway. Even if the materials arrive, we’ll have to postpone the exterior work, so we should be able to meet the completion date more or less.”
As he turned around to compromise on proceeding with other work in the meantime, he heard the supervisor’s voice from behind.
“Oh, President Kwon! We should have a cool glass of makgeolli sometime soon!”
“Sure, sure! The groundbreaking ceremony is coming up, so I’ll arrange a big one then!”
With a friendly wave, Do Jun immediately drove away from the site.
He didn’t feel the rush of speed even as he joined the open highway and sped down the road.
As the lanes of oncoming traffic filled his view, Do Jun’s mind was full of the scenes from that day.
He had definitely said he was going to the Bangbaedong remodeling site. But the moment he found Da Jung’s car still parked, he realized something had gone askew again.
And not long after, a man emerging from the building.
Cha Jung Hyuk. It was that man.
Do Jun, who had lost his senses, had watched the black sedan carrying that man slowly disappear into the distance for a long time.
A peculiar sensation of anxiety overwhelmed him. Vroom! As if expressing his frustrating feelings, he put more force into his foot pressing the accelerator pedal.
Suddenly, a vibration sound caught his attention. Do Jun, quickly coming back to his senses, unknowingly lifted his foot off the pedal he was pressing hard.
When he shifted his gaze to the screen, an unexpected name appeared.
“Bae Sol Yi”
They had an acquaintance, but without Da Jung, there was no personal interaction, so Do Jun pressed the call button with a puzzled expression.
“Do Jun oppa? I can’t reach Da Jung.”
“She’s probably in a meeting with a client. What’s going on?”
“Actually, my mom got a little hurt.”
There was a note of urgency in her voice, he realized.
“Oh no, is she seriously hurt?”
“It’s a burn. She was making side dishes and got burned by oil. She came to the emergency room, but it’s not serious. More than that, I need to pick up Si Woo, but I can’t reach Da Jung, and the kid is getting anxious.”
A soft smile spread across Do Jun’s face.
“Even so, I was passing nearby. Leave Shiwoo to me, you should take care of your mother well.”
“Really? Then I am really grateful. I’m so lucky to have you, brother. I’m counting on you.”
For the first time in a while, Jung Hyuk, who had taken the wheel, leisurely hummed a song as he steered.
Hyuna’s lie about the car being troublesome and needing to be picked up didn’t repeat anymore. Still, the journey to kindergarten on his own feet felt tedious.
He parked the car and lightly dashed up the stairs, checking his watch as he raised his arm.
The time was perfect. Soon the quiet entrance would be filled with the screaming of the little animals running out, which excited him like an inflating balloon.
The moment that balloon inflated to its limits and popped was brief.
Jung Hyuk’s gaze fell upon the uncomfortable face of a man. His glance, dry as if he was exhausted, lingered for a long time on Jung Hyuk’s face.
Then, with a shrill, the children pushed out of the entrance. At the same time, the two men’s stares, which had been tightly tangled in the air, broke off.
“Shiwoo!”
“CEO Uncle!”
Upon spotting Do Joon, Shiwoo’s face broke into a smile. He joyfully trotted around with his cute little legs, filled with so much excitement.
“Yoo Shiwoo!”
Jung Hyuk’s voice, unusually loud, put a halt to Shiwoo’s running.
His initial intention was to watch from a distance. That’s what Yoo Da Jung had told him to do. But for some reason, he couldn’t bear to see Yoo Shiwoo leaning onto Kwon Do Joon.
From about 3 meters away, Shiwoo’s steps towards Do Joon abruptly stopped.
Three people facing each other in a perfect triangle, a strange tension began to build around the child.
“Shiwoo, you should come to uncle.”
Do Joon, with a soft smile on his face, coaxed while bending his knees.
“Yoo Shiwoo, come this way.”
With his hands tucked into his pants pocket, Jung Hyuk also joined in. Shiwoo’s mouth formed a confused circle.
“Uh……”
His innocent eyes, filled with confusion and dilemma, alternated between the two men.
“Let’s go to mom, our Shiwoo. Come to uncle quickly.”
“Yoo Shiwoo, I said come this way.”
Shiwoo’s tiny toes, which had been wiggling, soon made a decision and started moving. The moment his small foot turned in my direction, the corner of Jung Hyuk’s mouth curled up in pride.
Jung Hyuk took his hand out of his pocket and spread his arms slightly. He realized he had never hugged him before.
In that fleeting moment, he finished a simulation of lifting Shiwoo, who was in his arms for the first time, and spinning him three times in the air.
A historic moment of holding his son for the first time was approaching. But, the legs of Shiwoo, who had been running diligently, suddenly stopped a few steps ahead.
His cute mouth opened wide.
“Hello, mister! Goodbye then!”
Politely bowing deeply twice, Shiwoo then turned around.
“CEO Uncle!”
He ran and threw his arms around Do Joon’s neck, laughing with glee.
Do Joon, who had stood up holding Shiwoo, bowed his head neatly. There was no clear expression, but his smug aura was blatantly visible.
As Do Joon turned his back to Jung Hyuk, Shiwoo, nestled in his neck, waved at him with a bright smile.
“Goodbye, mister!”
“……”
Without realizing it, Jung Hyuk’s hand, which had been raised in reflex, dropped lifelessly.
His eyes, watching the child move away with the insignificant man, burned with rage.
He had never experienced such humiliation before. This was Cha Jung Hyuk’s first stinging defeat in his life.
