“If it’s Oh Joo-hwan, that’s possible.”
“I think the same way.”
As their eyes met, two people who had made similar guesses chuckled.
Then, with a serious expression, Hyun-soo spoke.
“If Prosecutor Yoon Tae-jin, Oh Joo-hwan, and Director Moon Young-ran form an alliance, it won’t be easy to protect Samo-nim.”
“That’s true. So, I’m thinking of dealing with Yoon Tae-jin first.”
“There are plenty of dirty corners in him, so it shouldn’t be difficult.”
“But.”
Hyuk-joo sighed as he sat down.
Seeing his reaction, Hyun-soo tilted his head in confusion. If they wanted to, dealing with Yoon Tae-jin could be easily initiated. However, looking at Hyuk-joo, who seemed to have a problem, Hyun-soo expressed a puzzled expression.
Hyuk-joo spread his palm, once covering and releasing his dry face.
“Father said he would handle it.”
“Chairman Moon?”
“He seems to judge that it’s better for him to take the lead since I can’t fathom his intentions.”
“I think he judged that it’s better for him to take the lead since I can’t fathom his intentions.”
“He wouldn’t do it with ill intentions, right?”
“I know. That’s why I’m worried.”
At Hyuk-joo’s words, Hyun-soo shook his head.
If Chairman Moon takes action, he will come into conflict with Moon Young-ran, and what follows will be like adding fuel to the fire.
Having been uneasy companions for a long time, they knew each other’s weaknesses too well, and their respective weaknesses were interconnected.
If Chairman Moon interferes with Moon Young-ran, avoiding trouble would be impossible.
“If Chairman decided to make that decision, he must have pondered over it for a long time.”
“That’s probably right.”
Hyuk-joo brushed his hair aside and continued.
“I should find out what he thinks when I go to Seoul.”
“I will continue to keep an eye on Prosecutor Yoon Tae-jin, Director Moon Young-ran, and even Oh Joo-hwan.”
“Please do.”
“Oh, what about Ko Joo-kyung?”
“Leave her be. Oh Joo-hwan deceives Ko Joo-kyung, and Ko Joo-kyung deceives that man. Let those who deceive each other meet their own demise.”
“I also share the same thoughts as Vice Chairman.”
When Hyun-soo finished his reply, Hyuk-joo narrowed his eyes.
At Hyuk-joo suddenly looking at him with an odd gaze, Hyun-soo swallowed dry saliva nervously.
“About yesterday.”
“Yes.”
“Did you make a mistake with Saet-byeol?”
“A mistake?”
Hyun-soo’s face, asking back, crumpled mercilessly. Judging by the reaction, it seemed there was nothing to name as a mistake.
Then what happened last night? Hyuk-joo clenched his fist in front of his chest and spoke.
“Saet-byeol said she went out for some air alone yesterday. She definitely went out with you, but she said she did it alone, and it seemed strange.”
“She said she went out alone for some air?”
“Isn’t that right?”
“Did Saet-byeol show any strange reactions when she saw Vice Chairman by any chance?”
“Me?”
Hyuk-joo raised an eyebrow, lifting his index finger to point at himself.
Come to think of it, Saet-byeol seemed to be conscious of him. It felt like she was conscious of herself. Although she was a person who acted without hesitation just a day ago, something must have happened between then and now.
Starting from last night, when he brought Hyun-soo home and came in late, Saet-byeol seemed to have been conscious of something.
Did my impression suddenly turn hostile?
Hyuk-joo gently wiped his face with his hand.
Despite no change in his facial features, he couldn’t understand what Saet-byeol was conscious of.
“I already knew what kind of person Vice Chairman Moon Hyuk-joo is.”
“Rather than that, Saet-byeol learned that she was dealing with the Vice Chairman of Myungjin Group Moon Hyuk-joo.”
“Is that a problem?”
Hyuk-joo wrinkled his forehead and then smoothed it out.
“For Saet-byeol, it could be a matter that approaches as a problem. After hearing yesterday’s story, she didn’t know you were married and had men go on a meeting with her.”
“That happened.”
Saet-byeol, thinking that Eun-su was unmarried, had caused a stir when she made men go on a meeting without knowing.
“Saet-byeol is very worried.”
“What’s she worried about?”
“Vice Chairman, she was worried that you might seek revenge for that incident.”
“Do I seem like that kind of person?”
“Saet-byeol might think so, don’t you think?”
“What nonsense is this?”
Hyuk-joo chuckled in disbelief.
It was a misunderstanding, and the matter had been resolved with an apology. However, to think that she would worry he’d hold it awkwardly in his heart.
“I should tell her not to worry when we meet after work today.”
“I’d appreciate it if you could hold off on that for now.”
“Hold off?”
“There’s a reason for it.”
“What reason?”
“I’ll tell you later, so for the time being, if you could give Saet-byeol the same stern expression you gave me when I made a mistake.”
Hyun-soo’s face, making a strange request, was scrutinized by Hyuk-joo.
He seemed to understand the hidden motive behind such a request.
It appeared that he accurately grasped the signal from yesterday when Hyun-soo’s ears turned red. Making such a request, it seemed that Hyun-soo was desperate, but this didn’t seem like an ordinary situation.
Using me to satisfy his personal feelings.
For a moment, the thought of teasing him crossed Hyuk-joo’s mind.
“Well, that shouldn’t be too difficult. But why?”
“I’ll explain later…”
“When later?”
“In a month.”
A whole month.
Hyuk-joo sighed inwardly. Hyun-soo was overly cautious, to the point of it being a flaw.
When you realize someone’s feelings, it’s best to reveal and act on them as quickly as possible.
It was the moment when Hyuk-joo was about to push Hyun-soo away, who would likely waste time with unnecessary worries.
Hyuk-joo nodded, then suddenly remembered something, and with a thump, he made a sound by tapping his thumb and index finger together.
“Oh! A month won’t be difficult. Saet-byeol is planning to move to a new house soon, so you won’t run into her.”
“Move?”
“My ex-boyfriend kept coming to our house because it’s the place where my ex-boyfriend lives now.”
“…Is there such a criminal?”
The normally gentle gaze of Hyun-soo briefly flickered with flames. It seemed that if circumstances allowed, he was determined to find out who his ex-boyfriend was.
“Song Hyun-soo, right now, what you should worry about is not your ex-boyfriend, but whether Hwang In-woo will become a new boyfriend, surpassing you.”
With that thought in mind, Hyuk-joo opened his mouth again.
“Anyway, Saet-byeol will be busy with moving and other appointments, so she won’t have time to talk to me. It should be fine.”
“What other appointments?”
“Madam said she will introduce Saet-byeol to a man who doesn’t lack anything – face, height, ability, personality, not missing a single thing.”
Hyun-soo’s neat eyebrows instantly sharpened like seagull wings.
