Today is the once-a-month gathering at Kyungwonjae, where Chairman Emeritus Tae Seok Hyun, along with the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of HanKyoung Group, come together for lunch.

Ever since I received the schedule, my mood has felt strangely off.

Chairman Emeritus Tae Seok Hyun, Seo Yeon’s father-in-law and the head of HanKyoung Group, was someone who, in her previous life, had unexpectedly passed away after missing the window for treatment.

People believed he’d been overly confident in his naturally robust health and thus neglected proper care—but in truth, he’d concealed even his precarious health condition to avoid the exhausting speculation and plummeting stock prices that inevitably followed any medical examination.

Although he was her father-in-law, Seo Yeon had almost never had a private conversation with Seok Hyeon in her previous life.

All she could recall was that, much like her husband in that life, he rarely showed expression, held no interest in her, and intimidated family and staff alike so severely that no one dared meet his eyes directly.

Lost in thought, Seo Yeon was reminiscing about her father-in-law’s appearance in life when Sung Jun’s voice suddenly reached her.

“You don’t have to force yourself to attend every time—it’s tiring. If you’d rather skip it, just let me know, and I’ll make an excuse for you.”

Seo Yeon shot him a playful glare.

“Everyone from Mother to Aunt is attending today—how could I possibly skip it alone?”

“You still can. It’s not some important occasion. You’d be better off enjoying a hobby or practicing piano at home.”

It struck her as ironic how easily he said that, considering he himself had sacrificed weekends up to now, working tirelessly just to earn Seok Hyeon’s approval.

But then again, her husband had always been like this—even with his own family, he never showed up unless it was a critical family event. Work always came first; he was, in every sense, a man who knew nothing but work.

Feeling it was her duty alone to uphold appearances, she had stubbornly attended every family gathering and event. Though no one welcomed her, after years of enduring their sarcastic barbs and showing up regardless, some people had finally begun to accept it as normal.

Pathetic as it sounded, for Seo Yeon, that tiny shift was still progress of a sort—so today, too, she needed to hold her ground and not waste all her past effort.
