Seol Ma Jung, who visited the department store’s food corner with his eldest son Seol Min Jae, was looking at the display stands with a displeased expression.

Interestingly, the basement food corner of Sung Ha Department Store, operated by Sung Ha Corporation, had Braille printed alongside the food names on the stands where items were placed.

Printing Braille required the use of special plastic instead of regular paper, and it was cumbersome to print Braille every time the product’s location changed.

However, thanks to enduring this inconvenience, visually impaired customers could be easily seen during weekday daytime hours when there weren’t many people around.

Employees who didn’t know that the youngest grandson was visually impaired thought this policy of Seol Ma Jung’s was just for the publicity effect of showing that they were a company considerate of disabled people.

This was because such a policy didn’t have a big impact on sales, and it only increased the workload for employees.

However, despite the employees’ efforts, Chairman Seol Ma Jung was always dissatisfied.

“If it’s coffee, it’s coffee, so why does it say beverage?”

“Pardon?”

At Seol Ma Jung’s words, his son looked at his father with a very tense expression.

“Here, under coffee it says beverage, doesn’t it? Is this a beverage? It’s coffee.”

Honestly, Chairman Seol Ma Jung didn’t know Braille very well either.

He had just learned a few words by calling a Braille tutor after knowing that Woo Jin had learned Braille and come out of his room.

But those few words turned out to be very useful during these inspections.

“Chairman, to indicate that specifically would be a bit…”

“What do you mean a bit? If you can’t properly record such small details, how will you record bigger things?”

Since it wasn’t wrong, Seol Min Jae had nothing to say.

However, on the other hand, he was also displeased with his father who only paid attention to such small things without looking at the overall picture.

He understood the heart that worried for his grandson, but in a department store where increasing sales was the main management goal, to only consider efficiency for disabled people who weren’t even the main customer base…

Every time, he thought it would be more efficient for a chairman to look around the luxury goods section that brought in the biggest sales, rather than the guide signs attached to food corner display stands, but Chairman Seol didn’t budge at his son’s words.

While installing Braille displays might have created an issue, the main source of revenue for the department store was still guaranteed to be the luxury goods and jewelry sections.

President Seol Min Jae, who had received scolding from the basement food section and came up, was secretly nervous at the thought of finally showing his father the luxury goods section he had been eager to present.

The space had become even more luxurious with recent remodeling, and there were even paparazzi photos of a recent celebrity visit to the store, which had further increased sales.

“Recently, the GuX store has moved this way and the PrX store has taken the central position. As soon as customers come up the escalator, the jewelry catches their eye…”

Unlike his son who was enthusiastically explaining the store layout, Chairman Seol was intently looking down at the marble floor.

After a moment, he raised his bushy eyebrows and asked,

“Where did all those guide blocks go?”

“Pardon?”

“Those bumpy blocks. Where did they all go?”

He was referring to the tactile paving blocks for the visually impaired. Seol Min Jae looked at the executives behind him with a startled expression before carefully saying,

“They were ruining the aesthetics too much…”

“What?”

Finally, a roaring voice echoed throughout the luxury goods section.

“Shouldn’t you at least mark the way to the restroom! And when did I say to use yellow? I told you to use a color similar to the marble and just make it feel different when stepped on!”

“Chairman, it’s not like that many visually impaired people come here…”

At that, Chairman Seol kicked his son’s shin.

“Didn’t they say there are no disabled people in chaebol families?”

“Those families all call chauffeurs to their homes, father…”

Seol Min Jae unconsciously called Chairman Seol ‘father’ and glanced at the executives.

What an embarrassment this was in front of the executives when he was supposed to be the president.

However, as this wasn’t a scene they were seeing for the first or second time, the executives merely avoided making eye contact with Chairman Seol, not looking particularly surprised.

“Are you saying that if someone has a disability, they should just stay at home? Those people need to get some fresh air too! Tear it all out!”

“What?”

“Tear up the floor and redo it!”

“Chairman! It hasn’t been long since we finished remodeling and opened!”

“You fool! I’m the chairman! Do you need to be demoted to a regional department store to come to your senses? Tear it out, reinstall those blocks, and then submit a report!”

Seol Ma Jung walked briskly towards the elevator without looking back. The executives hurriedly followed behind him, watching the president’s reaction.

Even in front of the elevator, Seol Min Jae frowned as he watched his father checking with his hand to see if the Braille was properly printed on the buttons.

He had always been proud of receiving his father’s approval more than his brother.

When his brother ran away abroad with a woman and came back with Woo Jin, he pretended to be worried but secretly rejoiced, but he never dreamed that in death, his brother would monopolize their father’s attention like this.

He thought he could reach the fountain in 10 minutes of walking, but the alarm always went off just as he was about to reach it.

Even though he would surely be able to hear the sound of the fountain water, once the alarm went off, Woo Jin turned around without hesitation.

One day when he didn’t bring his phone, she thought he wasn’t setting alarms anymore, but from the day he accidentally met the children, he always set an alarm.

Soo Young decided that today she would at least sit on a bench, and suddenly stopped in her tracks with an “Ah!” sound.

Knowing that he became more sensitive when outside, she spoke in a very quiet voice.

“Why?”

Woo Jin stopped too and asked with a hardened face.

“A cramp… I got a cramp…”

Soo Young groaned, but no expression appeared on Woo Jin’s face. Rather, he spoke savagely with an icy cold face.

“…Don’t act.”

“It’s real… Ow… It really… hurts…”

“Hah…”

Woo Jin sighed as he slightly loosened the hand holding her shoulder. Then suddenly he became pleading.

“Let’s go quickly. I’m tired.”

What could be tiring after just walking for 10 minutes? When he runs on the treadmill for hours.

Soo Young stubbornly pulled his waist slightly to the side.

“Let’s just sit for 1 minute. Please?”

“Where would we sit?”

Woo Jin’s expression became increasingly anxious.

“If you walk just five steps to the right, there’s a tree and a bench underneath. I drank beverages here with the CEO uncle last time…”

At that, the corners of Woo Jin’s mouth turned down slightly.

“With Seol Ji Hyun?”

“Yes. The energy drink was delicious.”

Feeling competitive at the mention of sitting with Seol Ji Hyun, he took steps as she led.

After carefully sitting on the bench, he quickly set an alarm on his phone and put it in his pocket.

“What did you do?”

“You said to sit for just 1 minute. Being extremely generous, I set it for 2 minutes.”

Then suddenly he removed the arm that was around Soo Young’s shoulder, felt around the bench, and knelt down on one knee in front of her.

“What, what are you doing?”

“You said you got a cramp. Which side is it? This side? This side?”

As Woo Jin’s warm hand felt around her ankle, Soo Young couldn’t say anything and just stared at his absurdly long fingers.

“You don’t know which side it is?”

“Ri, right side…”

Then his hand began to massage Soo Young’s ankle.

“Tell me if it hurts.”

“Huh? Okay…”

Far from hurting, her ankle felt refreshing and her chest felt ticklish.

Seeing people passing through the park glancing at the two of them, a proud look appeared on Soo Young’s face.

This handsome man is my boyfriend, no, friend, no, landlord, everyone!

While she was feeling quite pleased, suddenly Woo Jin’s phone started chattering something.

Then Woo Jin turned off the phone and slowly stood up.

Feeling like the phone was his girlfriend and wanting to hit it, she was thinking this when he held out his hand and said,

“Stand up if you’re okay.”

“I’m not okay yet…”

“If you really had a cramp, you would have made a fuss when I touched it. You didn’t even move. Didn’t even breathe. Did you like me massaging you?”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, no…”

“I can tell you liked it, but let’s go now. I’m tired.”

Seeing that he really looked tired, Soo Young couldn’t say anything more and stood up, positioning herself next to him so he could easily hold her.

Soon his long arm wrapped around her and he started walking slowly.

“Still, we sat on a bench today? Maybe we can go to a hamburger place later. Do you know there’s a shopping center in front of the complex with a hamburger place? I want to go there and eat hamburgers with Seol Woo Jin.”

As Soo Young chattered while leaning against him, Woo Jin’s eyelids lowered slightly.

“Kim Soo Young.”

“Yes?”

“How… do you see me?”

“How do I see you? I see you as Seol Woo Jin, of course.”

“You only see me as just Seol Woo Jin?”

At his words, Soo Young thought of several words in her mind. Then David? A cartoon character? … A prince?

Suddenly a giggle escaped her mouth. Even she thought she was being way too childish. What prince, prince… Are you in elementary school?

“You don’t see me as disabled?”

Woo Jin asked in a subdued voice.

“Ah… Was that what you meant? On the outside it’s not noticeable, but when I see your actions, I do see you as visually impaired.”

“But you still want to take walks like this with me, and go to hamburger places?”

Then Soo Young replied in a slightly depressed voice.

“Other people’s gazes do bother me a bit.”

I thought so. Woo Jin’s expression darkened.

Even he, who couldn’t see people’s faces, was bothered by their gazes, so how much more bothered must the person next to him be.

“I’m worried people will see me as a girlfriend with a short life and lots of money.”

Woo Jin’s eyes widened at the unexpected words. What is this woman saying now?

“You know, Seol Woo Jin is tall, has a model-like body, and a sculpted handsome face, but honestly I’m quite ordinary. Of course, I’m not saying I’m ugly at all. Just that I’m not sculpted. I’m average looking for a Korean woman.”

At her words, Woo Jin’s pupils gradually darkened. His steps slowly slowed down and eventually stopped.

“Anyway, I’m average but you’re so exceptional, so won’t people look at us strangely? What does that man like about that woman to be going around with her? And they’ll come to a conclusion. Ah, the woman must have lots of money but a short life. They must be together because of money. Actually, I don’t have much money… But I do have 7 million won in my bank account. I originally had 10 million, but it went down to 7 million after using it little by little while unemployed. The CEO uncle deposits my salary here into my aunt’s account…”

At that moment, something warm touched her cheek. Woo Jin’s hand was feeling her face. His hand lightly touched around her nose, then her cheek, and soon he bent his tall body and lightly kissed her cheek before pulling away.

Soo Young quickly covered her cheek and looked up at him.

“What, what is it?”

“…It was noisy… Telling you to be quiet…”

Woo Jin said, pretending not to know, and started walking forward again. Soo Young followed his pace, clutching her pounding heart.

No, you could have just said it with words, why use your lips… Don’t smile, Kim Soo Young. Don’t smile!

Soo Young clenched her molars and shouted to herself.

As they entered the building and waited for the elevator, Woo Jin quietly opened his mouth.

“What was your nickname in school?”

“Me? Well… nothing special?”

“There must have been something…”

As Soo Young looked up at him with a puzzled face, Woo Jin slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said,

“U-choi-tto. Right?”

“U-choi… what?”

“Universe’s Greatest Idiot.”

Huh… huh… huh… She was so dumbfounded she couldn’t speak. What on earth was this man saying about her, the most sensible person in the universe?

As the elevator opened with a ding sound, Woo Jin whispered in her ear.

“That’s why I like you.”
