Seojun’s self-confidence was unmatched by Wonho.

Lying on the floor with one foot resting on his head, his posture and tone were leisurely.

“Well, still, I guess I won’t have anything to take responsibility for? In the world, what has a dad, the author, done until the child is 4 years old?”

“…….”

There was nothing to say in that regard.

As Seojun, with closed lips, twirled the crystal glass around, Director Yoon Jiwon, who had been staring out the window overlooking the Bukhan River, slowly opened his mouth.

“Even if Eum Soyeon isn’t a child, she probably couldn’t forget Taeseojun. Originally, there’s that kind of category. Like a baby duck following only the first mom it sees. The first impression I saw of Eum Soyeon when she was an aspiring actress was like that.”

On the day Director Yoon Jiwon first saw Eum Soyeon, Seojun and Soyeon also met for the first time. Even if they didn’t know that, Director Yoon, who knew it was a similar time, summoned the old image of Eum Soyeon from the audition hall to this place.

“I couldn’t make her play a role that had worn out completely. Because her appearance was too bright, clear enough to be dazzling at first sight. My initial intention was not to mix personal emotions into the casting of actresses with merciless criticism at the audition site. But, was I afraid that my original intention might waver? However, when I met Eum Soyeon again in this drama, her gaze seemed quite different. Beyond the bitterness of life, a strong determination for life was strongly felt.”

“Oh, completely falling for her. Twice.”

As soon as Director Yoon’s words ended, Wonho added a comment terrifyingly. It seemed like an intention to raise Seojun, who still clings to the theme that made a woman a single mother, and doesn’t let it go.

“Well, what can you do. She’s already in the middle of loving another man sincerely.”

“What! Did you know that since the early days of drama production?”

“So what. Already decided then, huh?”

“Oh, you completely fell for her. Twice!”

“That aside, what are you going to do now?”

“What?”

“Do Sun’s matter. It’s not just for nothing that you did that. Resolve it well. After all, you’re the one who caused the accident properly.”

With his legs stretched out on the marble floor, Seojun picked up his glass and laughed.

As if saying he was the winner of this argument.

Now, Seojun’s taunting was unprecedented. It wouldn’t be because of the triple-digit penalty problem, so what made him tremble? In fact, there was a separate reason for that.
The strong-willed Eum Soyeon will continue to pursue Director Yoon Jiwon’s work no matter what anyone says. As an unknown individual, she will uphold that loyalty as much as she is known in the world, whoever that may be. Therefore, when Director Yoon’s next project is a romance fantasy genre, it’s natural that the intimate relationship between a man and a woman is inseparable. Knowing this, Taeseojun couldn’t just stand still and volunteered to take on the lead role.

“If you mention the contract one more time, I’ll assume you’re giving up on the lead.”

Perhaps because of this, Director Yoon’s voice became louder. Taeseojun knew that he intensely disliked Soyeon’s contact with other male actors.

“Who says that? Can’t you see I’m keeping my mouth shut?”

As Director Yoon came out strongly, Seojun once again belittled himself.

Could this be happening? Anyway, Seojun’s bewildering attitude, which makes him flounder, was intriguing, and Wonho, who was curious, raised his empty glass and proposed a toast to everyone.

“Now, let’s stop talking about boring things and drink more!”

The clear and cheerful sound of clinking glasses was pleasant.

In this way, the three men enjoyed a conversation and tilted their glasses until the dawn broke bright.

Leaving all the staff at the hotel, Chairman Tae and his wife, accompanied only by Secretary Kang, moved to the Shonishi Heights area in Vancouver.

Getting out of the silver sedan, Taeseokho and Cha Yeojin stood in front of the luxurious arched portico, past which was Professor Um’s mansion.

As if waiting for them, the front door opened with a hair’s breadth.

“Oh my, you’re here.”

Professor Um and his wife welcomed Chairman Tae and his wife with polite greetings and led them into the house.

“Professor Um is still the same. Haha.”

“Where are you going to stop, Chairman-nim? You looked very nice when I saw you at the Toronto event, but now you seem even younger.”

“It’s all thanks to Professor Um. First, please have a seat.”

With cheerful laughter and conversation, the two couples moved to the reception room. As they sat down on the sofa, a maid who came out of the kitchen placed tea and snacks on the table.

As mentioned earlier, it had been five years since Taeseokho and Um Eunhyuk met since they last met in Toronto.

The two men, who had a lot to talk about, continued their spirited discussion. Meanwhile, the two ladies sipped fragrant tea, gradually creating a warm atmosphere with stories about their children.
