“Don’t worry about it. “They’re not people you can’t call, so if you do something, you can warn them later through the secretaries.”
“I think it’s your mother who takes the most care.”
“… … .”
“Let’s make a toast.”
I had forgotten that my eldest son lived too alone in the world to be hurt by the words of others. In the end, Mrs. Cha, who was the most hurt, let out a sigh to Lee Han, who was lightly clinking glasses and making fun of her.
“Phew. okay. “I knew it would be like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was wondering why you came early.”
That day, Lee Han said no, but Ms. Cha’s intuition was different. She couldn’t say that what Yuhan said was 100% accurate, but she was sure that there was at least something to it.
Still, isn’t he a child?
My eldest son’s repeated silence between calls, as if he was thinking about something, was unusual. Otherwise, he’s not the kind of guy who will be easily chased away to the hospital. Her rationale was also clear. However, the problem is that she had too many expectations.
“I didn’t know you would really come alone.”
“Why am I alone?”
You heard it too, right?
As soon as Lee Han finished speaking, Leo, who had been quietly sitting under his hand, straightened his tail. Panting, the large black dog stuck out her red tongue as if in protest, and Mrs. Cha’s laughter was filled with embarrassment.
“Lee Han. There are a lot of customers. So today,”
“yes. All right.”
Seeing that the number of people wanting to say hello to his mother was increasing, Lee Han handed Leo’s leash to Secretary Kang. Lee Han tilted his glass again as he watched Leo, whining but being quick-witted, go inside.
“You seemed to like it, but I guess you changed your mind.”
“That’s not it.”
I feel like there are two Seo Yihan.
Still, since the other person was her son, she pressed her lips together without adding a detailed reason. In any case, her noble smile and elegant demeanor clearly showed how she had maintained her position as the hostess of her wealthy family for decades.
“it’s okay. “What did I want from you?”
“Why did you, the person who said you had no expectations, believe anything and even start a rumor?”
“So, what are the rumors!”
“Iknow, right. “I think they will ask you what the rumor is about.”
Lee Han was conscious of the ladies approaching our table and made room for them. As soon as Mrs. Cha checked the faces of the women who were flocking in, she pushed Lee Han away as if she was in trouble.
“Lee Han, why don’t you just go in too. Have some food. Are not you hungry?”
“Not really.”
“no. What time is it? “You should eat something before drinking!”
“Are you ashamed of me?”
“… … Boo, that’s a shame! “I do it because I’m worried.”
Mrs. Cha took a deep breath in response to Lee Han’s direct question. Yes, worry. I’ll believe you. I can’t help but hate my eldest son’s relaxed eyes as he lowers his wine glass as if making a toast.
However, he is a son who has never been defeated by force or words. Since there was no way to get rid of her, Mrs. Cha forced herself to smile, and her guests surrounded her as if they were waiting for her to smile.
“Ma’am, I sincerely wish you a happy birthday. “I am so grateful that you invited me to this precious event again this year.”
“What. “I am grateful that Mrs. Kim came.”
“But you said there might be other guests today besides Chairman Seo, but I guess they haven’t come yet.”
“no. that is… … .”
I guess you didn’t expect that much.
Lee Han’s wry smile, as he was leaning leisurely as if it were someone else’s business, was reflected in his wine glass. Secretary Kang, who came over after bringing Leo into the main house, also looked at Mrs. Cha with a slightly sad look. Even though she is smiling elegantly, she is not unaware of her burning feelings.
“Actually, my wife asked me several more times. really… … “Isn’t that true?”
“What if you don’t even believe what I told you?”
“I guess that means you wanted it that much.”
“… … .”
Secretary Kang hesitated, not hinting at anything, but Lee Han just lightly twirled the wine glass. The way he stretched his lips, not paying any attention to the stares pouring at me, seemed like he was thirsty.
“What time is it?”
“It’s 7:25.”
“… … okay.”
Then there’s nothing wrong with my watch.
However, I put aside my doubts after taking a sip of wine. I’m not the type to ask trivial but useless questions, such as whether there was any other contact or whether I contacted the hospital.
Those who will come will somehow come, and those who will not come will somehow not come. It was an unchangeable truth that he gained from his short social life.
And if she… … .
“Do not worry! Be sure to keep your promises! “I will protect it!”
As I sighed, Lee Han’s unintelligible laughter led to more muffled sighs. There is bound to be a clear purpose for unmarried young ladies to chase after the birthday of someone who is not their age. Secretary Kang became even more anxious at the sight of these people trying to find an opportunity to say something to Lee Han.
“I will contact the hospital.”
“no. “He will come.”
Lee Han said there was no need and held out his empty glass. It was faster than usual, but not enough to get drunk. Among the company people who gathered around Chairman Seo, and Ms. Cha and her group who were still embarrassed, Lee Han chose an unrivaled path.
Even though it receives the most attention, it doesn’t allow anyone to approach me. Aside from the occasional eye greeting, all he did was look toward the entrance and raise a wine glass.
“The person in front of you over there is the wife of Taekang Group. “I saw my daughter-in-law this time, and she must have come with me.”
“yes. “It looks like that.”
Five to three minutes, then two minutes.
Lee Han’s voice became dull as time passed. Even before he was a business person, he knew enough to know that he was his mother’s rival. I watched indifferently as the eyes of the smartly dressed middle-aged woman and her mother exchanged greetings with the young woman next to her.
“Please tell me about your mother’s personality, preferences, or anything else. That way, I can match clothes or anything else. Do you like things more modest, or do you need to dress up a little more since it’s your birthday? … .”
That’s it. Come on. Come on.
Lee Han lost interest in alcohol and swirled the red liquid in the glass. What are your tastes? As I checked the long needle approaching 6, my mouth gradually hardened.
Since the money has already been deducted, all she has to do is kill some time. Regardless of my or her mother’s circumstances, it would be easy for that woman, Yoon Hae-jun at least, to get over it. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to see her ask me about my mother’s tastes and me in a very serious manner, with her eyes shining.
Whether it’s pretense or not, is there anyone in the world as beautiful as someone who is willing to give their money’s worth?
In that respect, it wasn’t like there were no expectations from her. Maybe it was because I had chosen the right partner in many ways, and I was making fun of myself the whole time I was getting dressed in the dressing room.
“… … .”
But I don’t want anything else anymore. No, it doesn’t need to be there. No matter what you wear or what you say, as long as you show up, that’s it. If things don’t work out, I may show up with leaves hanging from my gown… … .
“Hey, Chairman!”
“… … yes.”
I can see it too.
When Secretary Kang noticed a person at the entrance and raised his voice without realizing it, Lee Han put his index finger to his lips as if to tell him to be quiet. The meaningless whispering and laughter diminished as the woman walked exactly this way, step by step.
“… … .”
It’s not too late, I.
Hae-joon was elegant from the moment he appeared, smiling at him as he stood in the center. From his head to his toes, there is not a leaf or anything to be found anywhere. The simple black dress, black coat, and pearl earrings were very subtle among people who were all flashy. Light makeup and lightly trimmed hair also made her white skin stand out as it fluttered lightly with every step.
“nice to see you. My name is Hae-jun Yoon. thank you for the invitation.”
“… … oh my god.”
In short, it not only exceeded but perfectly met Ms. Cha’s tastes and expectations, which only required her to be a woman. Ms. Cha walked out as if pushing away her rival, Mrs. Kim, and was filled with emotion as she placed her hand on her heaving chest.
“Hey, Lee Han. “Really then.”
Since she couldn’t bear to pinch his cheek, Mrs. Cha didn’t forget to check with her son first. Lee Han, whose eyes were twisted in disbelief, nodded his head a little later.
“yes. what.”
“… … .”
Even the uncharacteristic clearing of his throat did not attract much attention at this moment. In the midst of her pouring gaze, Lee Han’s shoes stopped in front of her as he stepped out to meet her, and Hae Joo also looked up at him with a bright smile.
“You’ve been waiting a long time, right, Mr. Lee Han?”
“… … .”
How about this. This is enough to repay your daily wages, right?
Hae-joon, the legendary siren of Korea University who knows nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it, and once you start, you have to repay with results that exceed expectations in order to be satisfied, placed her hand on Lee-han’s arm as if showing off. Lee Han’s uvula, which rang louder than ever before, was the answer to her meaningful eye smile.
“not really.”
If the price had not been set in advance, this frighteningly elegant deer would have been free as of today.
