#197. Everything I want to do. 8
"Burn it quickly! Quickly!"
When Hye-rim Lee opened the back door of the car, Jeong-cheol Lee put Woo-jin, who was being carried, into the car.
Lee Hye-rim immediately got into the back seat and closed the door.
"Go to the hospital quickly."
The car started moving right away, and Lee Jeong-cheol's hand, which had been reaching for the passenger door, looked embarrassed.
Jo Woo-chan spoke from the side.
"That's why you should have let them drink in moderation. What kind of era do we live in today where people drink so much?"
Lee Jeong-cheol closed his eyes.
Rather, it was brother Jo Woo-chan who recommended alcohol.
But Lee Jeong-cheol did not say those words out loud.
I was just worried about Woojin.
And the worried expression on my daughter's face kept coming back.
Meanwhile, Hye-rim Lee, who had been using her thigh as a pillow for Woo-jin in the car, was very worried.
I kind of expected that Dad would bring Woojin here, so I came just in case.
however.
Woojin, who is going to do the last mission while laughing like it's a joke, is unable to come to his senses.
"Woojin? Woojin. Come to your senses? Okay? Woojin."
No matter how much I called and shook him, Woojin's eyelids wouldn't open.
Could this be acute alcohol intoxication?
I heard it from Woojin.
Acute alcohol intoxication caused by alcohol is a serious condition that can lead to loss of consciousness and even death.
Could it be that Woojin has suffered from acute alcoholism?
This has never happened before… .
As her thoughts reached that point, Lee Hye-rim's voice became more urgent.
"Please go faster. Faster."
"All right."
That was when.
Woojin's hand touched Lee Hye-rim's hand, which was stroking Woojin's hair.
I took her hand.
Lee Hye-rim's eyes widened, and Woo-jin spoke as he did so.
"It's warm."
"Woojin? Are you awake?"
Woojin answered again with his eyes closed.
"Yes, sir, please go slowly."
"Huh? Are you okay?"
At the surprised look in the knight's rearview mirror, Woojin answered again.
"Yes, it's okay. Please go slowly."
Woojin continued speaking while caressing Hye-rim Lee's hand.
"It's so good right now."
Lee Hye-rim couldn't help but let out a hollow laugh.
And then he said, sweeping his head up.
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"Yeah. There was a scene like this in the drama that just ended. In it, the father was really sorry to his daughter."
There was another intention.
If you keep doing these regrettable things one after another, they will accumulate and CEO Lee Jeong-cheol will be more open to what Lee Hye-rim has to say and will be able to accept her opinions more.
Unless you're a psychopath or sociopath.
In Woojin's view, CEO Lee Jeong-cheol does not fit either of these two attributes.
It only appears that way on the outside to protect oneself from the environment surrounding oneself.
Just looking at the fact that he came to Hye-rim's uncle's store, you can see that.
"My heart almost burst. You're driving me crazy. Are you sure you're okay?"
"huh."
Lee Hye-rim leaned against the backseat as if in relief.
Now I can hear the sound of rain and feel the gentle warmth on Woojin's hand.
As Woojin said, this is the current situation.
A smile appeared on her lips.
It's so good right now.
No, it seemed like things would only get better from now on.
***
Two days later,
Hye-rim Lee, dressed neatly and with light makeup, asked Woo-jin in front of the elevator.
"Do I really look okay?"
"Good."
"Phew~."
Hye-rim Lee took a deep breath and checked her reflection in the elevator once again.
In that way, I was able to get to Woojin's house by using the elevator.
As Woojin's finger reached for the doorbell, Lee Hye-rim briefly blocked it with her hand.
"Woojin, am I shaking right now?"
Lee Hye-rim's hand, which was holding Woo-jin's hand, was shaking slightly.
I was so nervous that I took Whanghwangcheongsimhwan, but it didn't help me calm down.
Woojin patted her back as if encouraging her.
So Hye-rim took a few deep breaths, and Woo-jin's hand reached out to the doorbell.
Dingdong-
The sound of the doorbell starting from Woojin's finger made her heart skip a beat.
Suddenly-.
The door opened and the mother greeted Woojin and Lee Hye-rim with a bright smile.
My mother's smile was really bright.
I couldn't be happier that my son brought his girlfriend home.
My son, who had a terrible childhood, has now grown up and even has a girlfriend.
"Come in. How can you be so pretty? You look like a doll."
Lee Hye-rim quickly lowered her head, trying her best to smile on her tense, stiff face.
"Hello, Mom, my name is Lee Hye-rim."
Lee Hye-rim had seen Woo-jin's mother from afar, but this was the first time she had met her face to face.
It was because Woojin had built a wall around his family like an iron fortress.
But now the door has opened.
Come on in, Hye-rim, he said.
"Don't stand there. Come in."
Hye-rim Lee carefully handed over the fruit basket.
She was very cautious about everything.
“Yes. Mother, this is….”
"I bought all these things. Oh my, thank you."
What Lee Hye-rim handed over was a fruit basket.
I wanted to choose something else, but Woojin was against it.
As we entered the living room, Woojin's father and younger sister, who had been sitting on the sofa, got up from their seats.
Shin Bo-mi looked at her and smiled.
"Is your sister here?"
Shin Bo-mi saw Lee Hye-rim a lot, and there were several times when she was forced to give her pocket money.
There were more than one or two instances where he quickly stuffed money into Shin Bo-mi's pocket and ran away in her car.
Shin Bo-mi couldn't help but laugh as she watched Lee Hye-rim disappear as if she was running away.
"Yeah, how have you been?"
"Yes. Welcome."
While saying that, Shin Bo-mi wondered if she was the kind of person who would get along well with her brother.
The same goes for Woojin's father, who was being greeted by Lee Hye-rim.
When Woojin said he was bringing a girlfriend, that is, when I heard the name Lee Hye-rim, Shinhwa Group naturally came to mind.
Since Chairman Lee of Shinwha Group was going into hiding, articles were pouring in and the news was mentioning that stock transfers had begun, so it was impossible not to know.
But it's really Lee Hye-rim from Shinwha Group.
I couldn't help but be surprised at what was happening now.
After the awkward greeting between Lee Hye-rim and Woo-jin's father, everyone sat down.
Lee Hye-rim, sitting on her knees, continued to fiddle with her fingers.
My father spoke.
“Please sit comfortably. Make yourself comfortable. That… is Lee Hye-rim, the youngest daughter of Shinwha Group CEO Lee Jung-chul, right?”
Lee Hye-rim answered with an awkward smile.
Her father's expression seemed burdened, and Lee Hye-rim felt uneasy at the sight.
"Yes, Father, please speak comfortably."
Next to him, Woojin's mother tilted her head and asked.
"Honey? Shinwha Group? The youngest daughter? What do you mean?"
“Mom, that’s….”
Shin Bo-mi explained.
"Mom, there's a company called Shinwha Group. You're the granddaughter of the chairman there."
Her mother's eyes widened and her gaze was fixed on Lee Hye-rim.
"what?"
Lee Hye-rim, who had been kneeling, stood up from her seat.
"If you agree to marry Woojin, I will do my best to support you!"
And he bowed down deeply as if he were bowing.
Silence has arrived.
At that sight, everyone swallowed their saliva, wondering what was going on, and Woojin, who usually didn't know what panic was, stared blankly at Lee Hye-rim.
Because I never expected her to act like this.
"……."
"……."
"……."
Lee Hye-rim said in that state.
"I will work hard to support Woojin so he can do whatever he wants!"
Her father stood up hesitantly as if to help her up, and Shin Bo-mi raised her hand as if raising her hand.
"I agree."
At those words, Lee Hye-rim's head rose.
"Me, really?"
As Lee Hye-rim's expression began to brighten, her father approached her.
"Stop it and get up. Get up, get up, get up."
Lee Hye-rim knelt down again and spoke, not knowing what to do.
"No. Please feel free to talk to me and I would appreciate it if you didn't think that way. I'm sorry I couldn't come to you sooner. If you would consent to marrying Woojin…."
Then Woojin spoke up.
"Father, Mother, I want to marry Hye-rim. Please allow me."
Father's eyes blinked again.
When I heard that my son was bringing his girlfriends over, I wanted to throw a party.
I thought that just being good was enough… .
The opponent is Lee Hye-rim, the granddaughter of Shinwha Group.
It couldn't help but be burdensome.
I was more worried about my son Woojin.
The bloodlines of the Shinwha Group are not ordinary people. They are giants.
Even if they got married, their son would be kicked here and there by those giants' feet.
His father's lifelong wish was for Woojin, who had suffered an accident, to overcome his trauma and live a normal, happy life with his family like everyone else.
Hye-rim Lee knelt down and turned her body towards Woo-jin's father.
"Father, if you allow me, I will work hard so that you don't have to worry."
Father let out a silent sigh.
Even if you agree, the other family won't even give you a single whiff.
Rather, a drama-like situation could have unfolded, with an envelope being thrown to her and her son being told to take good care of himself.
Then how much will the son be hurt?
My father soon opened his mouth.
"Ms. Lee Hye-rim, I fully understand why you like Woo-jin. But do you think your father would give permission?"
Lee Hye-rim's eyes sparkled and her voice grew slightly louder.
"Yes! He agreed! My grandfather agreed too!"
"……So… Chairman Lee Jung-moon of Shinwha Group gave his permission for you to marry Woo-jin?"
"yes!"
"Lee Hye-rim's father too?"
"yes!"
Father's gaze moved to Woojin.
“What the heck… is going on, Woojin?”
It was impossible to understand it logically.
At that time, Lee Hye-rim quickly spoke up.
"My grandfather said he had never seen anyone like Woojin before. He told me not to let go of Woojin's hand. I'm not as good as him, but if you'll accept, I'll try my best to become someone who Woojin wouldn't be ashamed of. More than anything, my family is in trouble because of Woojin."
"Are you struggling with Woojin?"
Father swept his hair.
Are you having a hard time with your son? What are you talking about?
And it almost felt as if the situation had been reversed, as if the man and woman had come to seek approval.
Only the last name has changed.
'I want to marry your daughter! I will work hard! Please allow me!'
"You really did that?"
When Woojin's father asked again to confirm,
"Yes! It's true. Please feel free to talk."
The father, who had been nodding his head slowly, looked at his wife.
And smiled.
"Then we must do it."
Lee Hye-rim's eyes widened and Shin Bo-mi smiled brightly.
"As expected, I've never seen anyone who dislikes my brother."
To Shin Bo-mi, her older brother was a bundle of charm.
It's both eccentricity and a brain that surpasses others.
At that moment, Woojin opened his mouth as if whispering while looking at Lee Hye-rim.
"Hye-rim, I got your permission, so I think it's okay to show it to you now."
Lee Hye-rim nodded solemnly.
