Chairman Seol casually replied while taking a sip of soju in response to his grandson’s question.

Knowing throughout his life that there’s no such thing as a coincidence, Ji-hyun didn’t express any special discomfort and asked the next question.

“What did you say when you met her?”

“What did I say? Just had a little chat about Romeo and Juliet.”

“Romeo and Juliet? Shakespeare? Why would you talk about that story…”

“The truth is, there’s universal truth in classics. Especially for old people, there’s nothing like classics.”

“But Sooyoung’s mother isn’t that old…”

Pouring soju into his grandfather’s empty glass, Ji-hyun mumbled.

“Anyway, we had a good conversation. Now it’s up to the parties involved.”

“But what if she doesn’t give permission?”
“A clever woman, she’ll probably observe the situation.”

Chairman Seol, chewing on convenience store kimchi brought by his grandson as a side dish, said leisurely.

“When will Woojin’s audiobook come out?”

“It will take some time. I need to practice. Also, if I do it for too long, it’s hard for the child, so I have to take breaks frequently.”

“How can our company guys be so weak? Is it because they don’t eat that? Feed them meat.”

“It’s not because they’re physically weak; it seems like they’re stressed. The space is unfamiliar, and the PD and engineer are unfamiliar too. Sooyoung is next to him, so he’s just enduring it.”

Chairman Seol clicked his tongue. Even with his tongue clicking, his small grandson, who now appeared properly in society and actively participated, was not easy to deal with.

“Don’t you need anything for the publishing company?”

The big grandson was benefiting from considering the small grandson admirable.

“Thanks to your massive support at the publishing event, the sales of braille books have increased a lot.”

“If you lower the unit price, sales will increase even more.”

“It’s a bit difficult to lower it any further at the moment. We’re trying to lower the unit price with corn paper, but Woojin says touching paper is better. Other consumers seem to feel the same way.”

“Hmm.”

“Grandfather.”

“Why?”

“By any chance, would you consider sponsoring a free braille education program for libraries and welfare centers nationwide?”

When Seol Ji-hyun asked subtly, Seol Majung looked at his grandson with suspicion and said.

“You should think about spending your own money! Don’t just expect it from me.”

The big grandson, who knew how to take ten when given one, had the blood of a celestial entrepreneur.

He thought that his talent would be used in business success, but if it was going to be used for social welfare like this, he didn’t know it was a trap.

With a swollen face, Sooyoung looked down at the bathroom tiles covered in blood.

Woojin offered the towel soaked in water again to her face.

“Are you okay?”

His hand, feeling around her nose and cheek, was warm.

“It seems swollen… Do I really need to go to the hospital?”

Feeling bad about getting hurt because of her, Sooyoung refused to go to the hospital.

Especially since it was an opportunity to spend time alone with him at his house, she couldn’t waste time in a place like a hospital.

Having seen the booth door open earlier, Sooyoung closed her eyes and ran away, but ended up hitting her face on the edge of the bathroom door.

Her nose burst, and her cheek swelled up.

Since there was no mirror in the bathroom, Sooyoung used her hands like Woojin to guess the state of her face.

“If someone sees this, they might think I got hit by a boyfriend. They say dating violence is serious these days.”

“Why did you suddenly run away like that, making yourself hurt?”

“No, was I supposed not to run away? Suddenly, the door opened and I came out.”

She didn’t really plan to go outside the booth. She just thought of letting her out, but suddenly there was a cracking sound, and a thumping sound simultaneously, which surprised her too much.
“Hurrying out but still dressed up?”

Peeking through the open gown, Sooyoung mumbled as Woojin wiped her face with a towel, wearing a slightly apologetic expression.

“You should’ve come out undressed. Sorry.”

“…I was going to make you gain 5 kilograms. You’re thinner than before.”

“Who?”

“Who else? Seol Woojin.”

“It’s because of you.”

“Why because of me?”

“Because you didn’t come.”

“So, if I’m not here, you won’t eat forever?”

“Yeah. So, don’t stray away from my side. To keep me from starving you.”

Sooyoung’s hand lightly touched Woojin’s cheek. In the past, Woojin would have flinched and avoided it, but this time, he stayed still with a rather indifferent expression.

As he remained silent, Sooyoung gently stroked his wet cheek with her palm and said, “Then let’s do it like this. Seol Woojin makes a lot of money, so he won’t starve me, and I eat with Seol Woojin, so I won’t starve him. Right? It’s a win-win for both!”

“How is that a win-win? I’m at a loss. All you have to do is eat, but I have to earn money.”

“I’m earning money even though I’m not doing anything. Oh, by the way, your grandfather with many lawyers is the chairman of Sung Enterprise, right? I just found out this time.”

“It’s strange that I didn’t know until now. Grandfather, you occasionally appear in the news.”

“Who watches the news properly? Do you read society and entertainment articles on the internet? I heard from your grandfather, didn’t I say back then that he used to be a celebrity?”

“Isn’t it ignorant? You didn’t say that in front of your grandfather, did you?”

“Huh? I did. That he used to be a celebrity.”

Upon hearing that, Woojin sighed and said, “Grandfather must have thought that his grandson was dating an ignorant girl. Your mother probably opposed it, so Grandfather opposed it first, right?”

“No way. Grandfather persuaded our mother. He wanted me to be by Seol Woojin’s side.”

When Woojin’s eyes narrowed, Sooyoung roughly summarized the story of her grandfather and mother meeting and told him that her mother decided to oppose first before Grandfather did.

As Woojin’s eyes slanted, Sooyoung told him the story of her mother and grandfather meeting, summarizing it roughly. Her mother had decided to oppose first before her grandfather.

Upon hearing Sooyoung’s story, Woojin’s eyes slanted further.

Your father passed away. You went to look for him.

The first time he heard his grandfather’s voice upon waking up from sleep was terrifying.

However, when Sooyoung called to ask for a reporter and a car to send her to perform the mission and get the news, his grandfather’s voice, heard after a long time, was quite different from back then.

If anything happens, call me anytime.

Although a sharp pebble always rolled around in one part of his heart…, his voice seemed to have softened a bit as he listened to it.
