Canadian time 6 AM.
After flying for over ten hours by private jet, Chairman Tae and his wife, along with their entourage, arrived at Vancouver Airport and immediately headed to a seven-star hotel downtown.
Tae Seok Ho, who had brought Cha Yeo Jin to Canada claiming urgent business, only revealed his ultimate purpose to his wife after entering the luxurious room.
“We should rest now to adjust to the time difference. We’re scheduled to visit Professor Eom’s home in the afternoon. And we’ll be staying there for a few days.”
“You brought me all the way here just to visit Professor Eom’s house?”
“That’s right.”
“You came here acting like it was a matter of life and death for such a trivial reason?”
Just looking at her husband’s serious expression, it was clear this wasn’t a wasted trip. Yeo Jin spoke again in a calmer voice.
“Don’t make me anxious for no reason. Tell me straight. I know there’s more to it.”
“Since you say you know, why don’t you try guessing what that ‘more’ is.”
“What’s with the sudden joke! Are you trying to play games now?”
“It’s not that…”
With a slight smile, Chairman Tae gently patted Yeo Jin’s hand with both of his. His touch was so affectionate that Yeo Jin’s heart began to race as if they were newlyweds again, and she blushed like a shy young girl.
However, she knew that when her husband acted like this, there was always a reason.
“Could it be… a serious problem with your heart? Are you going to ask Professor Eom for another surgery?”
“It’s not that. There’s something more important.”
“Then stop making me anxious and just tell me quickly.”
“Alright. I’ll tell you everything, but don’t be shocked and listen carefully. The truth is, there’s a precious child like my own heart at Professor Eom’s house.”
“!”
A ch-child like his heart! Has this man suddenly gone senile?
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“There’s my flesh and blood in that house.”
“Really, have you lost your mind?”
Seok Ho kept saying strange things, making Yeo Jin’s forehead wrinkle.
“I can’t understand a word of what you’re saying!”
“Such a tiny thing, so bright-eyed and handsome, you’ll be surprised when you see the child. Moreover, the intelligence is beyond words.”
“!!!”
Cha Yeo Jin’s pupils trembled like waves caught in a storm. At the same time, her legs gave out and she collapsed onto the sofa.
Although she wasn’t easily surprised, she couldn’t help but crumble at her husband’s bizarre and trust-breaking story.
“D-do you realize what you’re saying? So…”
Yeo Jin, who demanded to know if he was now confessing to having an affair and even hiding a child in a foreign country, pierced Tae Seok Ho with eyes full of disappointment and despair.
“So you’re making some kind of conscience declaration!”
“Ho ho, well now…”
Tae Seok Ho, who had passed on superior genes to his children, was very tall. He sat his well-built body down next to Yeo Jin and chuckled.
“No matter what, how could you jump to that conclusion? I still only have eyes for you.”
“Then what is it!”
As Yeo Jin continued to glare at her husband with sharp eyes, Seok Ho tapped the sofa armrest with his hand and said,
“It’s Seo Jun’s child. It seems the boy had an accident before going to the military, and what a small world it is. The child’s mother is Professor Eom’s daughter. On our side, including Seo Jun, we had no idea the child was born in Canada and is now 4 years old.”
“Wh-wh-what? Surely you don’t expect me to believe that ridiculous story?”
“It’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth, so what can we do.”
Since her husband liked jokes but had never told nonsense, Yeo Jin had no choice but to accept Seok Ho’s outrageous story as truth. And her bewilderment immediately shifted to Tae Seo Jun.
“Seo Jun, that rascal!”
“It seems Seo Jun didn’t know either. But he’s probably figured it out by now. Or maybe Eom So Yeon, that girl, told him.”
“Eom So Yeon?”
“That’s right. She’s also the one Seo Jun is seeing these days.”
“Ah. So…”
The mother of that child at Professor Eom’s house…
These days, everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Eom So Yeon is an unmarried mother. I already knew this fact, but I just learned now that she’s Professor Eom’s daughter. And hadn’t they been giving off a strange vibe since I first saw them at the hotel? If so…
As all the circumstances fit together like a puzzle, the answer led to one path. Cha Yeo Jin’s expression hardened as an entirely unexpected relationship map unfolded in her mind.
Ha! What this boy did with that girl…
“So, are you saying Professor Eom’s daughter had Seo Jun’s child?”
“That’s right.”
Tae Seo Jun, who had always been coddled as the youngest, had caused a major incident. Yeo Jin found this situation hard to believe, and the thought of meeting Eom So Yeon’s parents to apologize was overwhelmingly daunting.
“Ah… my head!”
Yeo Jin, her non-existent blood pressure boiling to its peak, clutched her throbbing forehead. Even she, who had never allowed even a hint of disorder, was inevitably shaken when it came to her child’s affairs, for she was still a mother.
“I’ll, this boy, right now!”
“I know.”
Seok Ho, interrupting Yeo Jin’s words, chuckled.
“No, how can you laugh now? So what are you planning to do?”
“What’s there to hesitate about? We must connect them immediately!”
“Connect them? Do you mean marriage?”
She wasn’t asking because she didn’t know. Who was Tae Seok Ho? He was a man who, once he decided to do something, would do it. However, Yeo Jin still couldn’t quite grasp what was what.
“That’s right. Soon, Seo Jun and Professor Eom’s daughter will come here.”
Tae Seok Ho had spoken with Manager Bong before leaving Korea. Although he didn’t say it outright, from the way Seo Jun couldn’t properly answer various questions, it seemed he also knew about the child and was planning to move here soon.
“Until then, shouldn’t we gauge the feelings of Professor Eom and his wife? That way, we can also bring our precious grandchild to Korea.”
Yeo Jin, who had been blinking her eyes as if in a daze, suddenly shouted,
“Who decided that! I absolutely cannot agree!”
She was exasperated by her husband’s rush to push for marriage like cooking beans over lightning, without even knowing what kind of person Eom So Yeon was or why she suddenly had a child.
[This is the timeline separator]The variety show production team and cast who had finished filming moved to a nearby pension that they had reserved as their accommodation.
There was no scheduled filming tomorrow, and with today’s recording, Yoo Jung Hwa’s schedule in Yangpyeong was completely over, so she had no reason to stay here any longer.
Yet, she was sitting idly in her car, having sent her right-hand woman, manager Seong Jin Ah, ahead to the city hotel, because she had something secret to do alone.
With the camera lights off and everyone gone, this place was as desolate as a real abandoned haunted house.
There were still a few vehicles parked in the lower parking lot, but those were left behind by some people who had already departed for their accommodations.
However, one of those vehicles had been sitting with its lights on for a while before finally departing, and Jung Hwa’s car followed it like a shadow, maintaining a certain distance.
That’s right.
The van leading the way was the car Eom So Yeon had arrived in, with her driving and Tae Seo Jun sitting in the passenger seat. And Jung Hwa’s act of tailing that car was quite impulsive.
Tae Seo Jun’s knife-like attitude towards her today was the most vicious she had ever experienced from him. His piercing gaze even seemed to exude murderous intent. Jung Hwa gritted her teeth as she recalled the humiliating recording session.
Do you really have no lingering feelings for me?
Even so, did you have to trample me so thoroughly just because of that mere slip of a girl?
Who are you to disrespect me! How could you do this to me, who was once your woman!
What could that Eom So Yeon possibly have that’s better than me!
Jung Hwa’s mind was filled with the baseless conviction that if only Eom So Yeon were gone, Tae Seo Jun would have no choice but to return to her.
Jung Hwa’s eyes took on an interesting light when So Yeon’s car turned onto a side road, leaving the main street.
Seo Jun, wanting to spend even a little more time with Eom So Yeon, had instructed Manager Bong and Park Sung Ho to take his car ahead to the pension where the filming team was staying. After that, he had impulsively gotten into the car So Yeon was driving and was leisurely scoring her driving skills.
Although she seemed to press the accelerator a bit hastily, her timing in increasing and decreasing speed was very precise. And So Yeon’s expression while driving was as solemn as if she were going into battle. The reason Seo Jun kept a slight smile on his lips was because it was a bit amusing.
So Yeon was on the phone with Do Soon.
“Are you feeling a bit better?”
−Yeah. The person from the company is so kind, I can’t help but feel better.
“They’re treating you that well?”
−Hey, don’t you understand sarcasm? Anyway, I’ve finished the IV drip, so I’ll see you at the pension later.
“Okay. Be careful on your way.”
Oh my!
Only after hanging up did So Yeon realize she had mistakenly turned onto an unpaved road. She frowned deeply.
“Ah, how annoying!”
“It’s not so bad to take a little detour. Just think of it as going for a drive.”
“Would you please be quiet! Ah, damn! Why does it have to rain now?”
So Yeon adjusted the headlights to high beam as the sudden rain further shortened the visibility on the night road. Her movements were very quick.
“Heh…”
Seo Jun, who had been staring at So Yeon all along, chuckled.
It was a laugh about how she became a different person when she grabbed the steering wheel. Her driving skills were skillful but somewhat impatient, a completely un-Eom So Yeon-like side that was quite novel to see.
Her way of speaking was also tough, like a girl who had chewed some gum in her school days. His eyes looked very pleased to have discovered another side of her.
While So Yeon firmly gripped the steering wheel, navigating the narrow road full of bumpy gravel and overgrown weeds, all Seo Jun could do in the severely shaking car was hold onto the handle.
Feeling this wouldn’t do, So Yeon pulled over to the side of the road.
“We should get back to the main road, but there’s no angle to turn the car around here, right? I wonder if there’s a place to make a U-turn if we go a bit further?”
“…”
Despite So Yeon’s question, Seo Jun just smiled faintly without responding. He just kept staring intently at her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Earlier you told me not to speak, and now you’re complaining about me looking?”
So Yeon narrowed her brows and asked accusingly, to which Seo Jun replied while slowly unbuckling his seatbelt,
“When did I do that?”
“Your excuses are top-notch. Is the driving Eom So Yeon a different personality? She seemed quite tough.”
“Well. It’s something I hear often. If you don’t like my driving, call Park Sung Ho now.”
Park Sung Ho and Manager Bong would already be waiting for him at the pension. How could a person be so inconsistent? Of course, Seo Jun had no intention of doing that at all. He stretched out his long arm and even unbuckled So Yeon’s seatbelt.
“I’ll drive.”
“Don’t do that, just call your car. You’re going back to Seoul today anyway, right?”
“No, I’m not. I’m not going back today.”
“Then, what are you planning to do?”
“I’ll go to the villa after seeing you into your accommodation. I’m going to wait there until Eom So Yeon’s work is finished.”
“Ah, I thought…”
So Yeon just now remembered Tae Seo Jun’s villa in Yangpyeong that they had visited a few months ago was nearby. She slowly nodded her head and quickly scanned the dark, secluded road surrounded by trees.
The rain urging autumn was getting heavier, beating against the car windows. Suddenly recalling the incident during the second part of the recording, So Yeon now expressed the worry she had held in her heart then.
“What should we do now? Everyone must have noticed.”
“Let them.”
Seo Jun’s voice was resolute, as if it didn’t matter.
He had disrespected Yoo Jung Hwa in front of everyone. And he had openly defended Eom So Yeon. As a result, Oh Min Jung’s face was also ruined.
Above all, unless they were fools, everyone would know that Eom So Yeon and he had a special relationship.
But so what?
“Since it’s come to this, should we just go public?”
“What…?”
So Yeon’s eyelids rounded in surprise at the unexpected suggestion.
“We should let the whole world know. That Eom So Yeon secretly had Tae Seo Jun’s child and now holds my life in her hand.”
“…T-Tae Seo Jun’s life is in my hands? I never did such a thing.”
Seo Jun gently pinched So Yeon’s cheek as she flatly denied it, and winked.
“I’m joking. It’s actually the opposite.”
So Yeon had no chance to respond.
In an instant, their lips met deeply, and Seo Jun, greedily devouring her small, plump lips, pulled So Yeon from the driver’s seat onto his lap. So Yeon squirmed at the sudden kiss, but it was futile.
The kiss deepened more and more, and the atmosphere in the car was truly cozy. The secluded road where no one was likely to be became even more quiet with the night rain. The large hand embracing So Yeon seemed like a fish that had found water.
“W-wait. If we do this here…”
“Is it okay somewhere else?”
“Stop tempting me.”
“I thought I was going crazy all day. And it’s all because of you.”
Seo Jun persistently provoked So Yeon while breathing hot breaths into her small ear. As he did so, the color of his eyes grew darker.
“Can’t you love me a little?”
“…”
“Can’t you trust me and let yourself go just once?”
“…”
Are you in your right mind?
So Yeon’s lips, which were about to say this, closed again.
She whispered softly, saying the opposite of her true feelings.
“Who else would I trust if not Tae Seo Jun.”
It was an attraction that couldn’t be defined.
