When you eat food, you think about the person who feeds you. Isn’t that the minimum level of loyalty? The corner of Lee Han’s mouth was twisted as if he could not see it.
“It seems like Hae-joon is a lot more thorough than I thought.”
“Am I a bit like that?”
“… … .”
Either thorough or naive.
Lee Han’s jaw tightened as he wanted to tell him to please do one of the two. Still, he couldn’t help but laugh and sighed.
Well, what’s the problem with that? If this woman is businesslike, she will be fine if she treats herself businesslike as well.
“That’s right. “What did my mother say a moment ago?”
“yes?”
“You may have already met her, but my mother is not an obedient person.”
The corner of Lee Han’s mouth twisted a little in a spiteful way. What kind of person is my mother? There are times when it is difficult for me to handle it, so even if I am a seal who is well-versed in worldly affairs, I will not be able to avoid its persistence.
And, for some reason, I was curious to see how this cheerful young lady, who seemed to have lived her life about 10 times, was embarrassed.
Anyway, I just have to work as much as I’m paid, but if it’s just a little bit.
“There is no need to praise me just because I am your son. “Anyway, my mother hasn’t said much since she gave birth to me.”
“Did you give birth?”
“… … “It just so happened.”
“ah… … .”
It’s your biological child.
As Hae-joon’s eyes widened as he finished biting into the last strawberry, Lee Han smiled with greater satisfaction. I don’t know if she was that surprised that she was my mother’s child, but for once it didn’t hurt that this woman was surprised by me.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I didn’t mean to ask that on purpose, but I thought it would be good for us to get to know each other to some extent.”
“It doesn’t matter. “There are times when I can’t believe that my mother gave birth to me.”
“I believe it!”
“… … .”
“I just came to believe it. You have to believe it. then!”
Hae-joon muttered to himself as if he were brainwashing himself. His face was full of confusion. My biological son, my biological son, so why? Lee Han also twitched the front of his eyebrows as her mouth became silent as if she was becoming less and less understanding.
… … No, but why on earth are you acting like that?
… … That seal again.
As soon as our eyes met, we fell silent, unable to say anything out of our mouths. Instead, there was no need for any more awkward smiles. Chang, the glass that was lightly clinked without anyone taking the lead, cannot breathe so well.
“Isn’t the alcohol very sweet?”
“I know.”
However, they just don’t acknowledge each other.
“Are you two here?”
“… … .”
Secretary Kang approached the two strange people who were closer than anyone else, looking at each other as if they were keeping each other in check. After being held by Ms. Cha for a while, her now haggard face was clearly visible to see how much she had been scoured. Lee Han swallowed a short sigh, thinking that he needed to sort it out before the number of victims caused by me increased in all directions.
“What else? Are you curious about who Hae Joon is, or are you telling me to make an appointment for the next time?”
“Two, both.”
“… … .”
“Actually, I would like to invite you to the opening ceremony of the Seomun Gallery branch next week, but if the director is unwilling, I will just avoid making an appointment. “First of all, I told you that you were both busy.”
“no. “I tell you to do it.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“Even if you’re not okay, you have to go.”
He said I would go check on mine.
Secretary Kang opened his mouth in surprise when Lee Han, who had thought he would cut it off right away, surprisingly readily agreed. To top it all off, he is a strange mother and son who can’t even tell his son, the chairman, to come over and only glances at him from afar.
“Today is your wife’s birthday, so there are a lot of eyes watching and you may be busy greeting other people, but you might find it annoying during the opening ceremony.”
“I didn’t expect it to end today anyway. “My mother, don’t you know?”
“… … Chairman.”
“You probably also asked about the hospital schedule. My chest hurts, my eyes get blurry, and I don’t know if I can breathe well. Perhaps, depending on what kind of department Hae Joon is in, he is prepared for any bad situation. “Wouldn’t it be better to meet Hae-jun as the director of an art museum rather than suddenly meet him as a patient?”
“ah… … yes.”
As expected, mother and son are right.
Secretary Kang and Hae-joon both became solemn at the same time at Lee Han’s cynicism as he repeated Mrs. Cha’s words as if he had heard them. I thought camaraderie only bloomed in the operating room, but there were comrades everywhere. Her deer-like eyes were filled with indescribable understanding.
“Hey, Secretary Kang. “Try some of this.”
I know that feeling well now.
Hae-joon bit his lip and handed a glass of champagne to Secretary Kang, who was struggling. In fact, the beast, who is the biological son, does not even raise an eyebrow, so it is almost unfair why the helpless herbivores should share the shock.
“You said Secretary Kang, right? “You have a hard time going back and forth here and there.”
“no. “It’s natural for me.”
Secretary Kang accepted the glass and regained some peace. The two people, who had the same employer, quickly became familiar with the smiles they exchanged as a courtesy. Since ancient times, the solidarity between herbivores has been peaceful. With this, the strange tension between the three was now sharply focused on one man.
“… … .”
okay. He smiles like that too.
Lee Han’s eyes gradually darkened as Hae Joon smiled brightly, without flinching or making any obvious calculations like in front of him.
no. Either that or not.
why me.
Lee Han, who almost frowned without realizing it, quickly regained his balance and regained his elegance. I’ve had enough of being confused today because of that one woman.
At least as she said, it is true that alcohol is sweet, so all you have to do is enjoy it. Lee Han, who had half-turned away from them, closed her eyes and ears and twirled her glass with one hand.
“Hoho, really?”
“sure. ha ha ha.”
“… … .”
But even if he couldn’t see or hear it, he couldn’t help the sinking feeling. He had never really liked anything in the first place, so he was different from such insensitivity. Like a thorn under his fingernail, something very small and unnoticed was getting on his nerves.
‘anyway.’
Lee Han’s eyebrows gradually rose as the two people whispered something that everyone knew about. The thick knuckles of the hand that turned the glass stood out as the sound of the two people’s laughter intertwined as one.
“Secretary Kang made a reservation for us at the dressing room, but I’m sorry I couldn’t go. Unfortunately, the surgery schedules overlapped.”
“no. “I know for sure that the professor is busy.”
“… … .”
Well, how much do you know that girl?
In the end, Hae-joon’s kind smile dissipated Lee Han’s bitter smile. However, Secretary Kang, who was already immersed in deer viewing, which is rarely seen in the city, was busy rubbing his reddened neck.
Still, whatever.
If you think about it rationally, it’s not a bad thing. Secretary Kang is the only person who knows about my contract with her, so it would be easier for me in many ways if the two of them got along well. The two allies say they will share a friendly first greeting, but if you can’t just ignore it, it means there’s something wrong with me.
… … Right.
Lee Han’s expression became lighter as he came to a refreshing conclusion. Like the patience of scraping the floor, the glass of alcohol, which was barely sloshing, was tipped over and emptied. Just as his quick and clean movements, Hae-joon and Secretary Kang also steadily took the next step in the first greeting.
“By the way, Professor. Then, if you have an unavoidable event like today, please contact me in advance. “I will try to organize it so that you don’t have to worry as much as possible.”
“Oh my, would you please? “I was already frustrated a little while ago.”
“Then, if you tell me Professor Yoon’s cell phone number, I can… … . Ah, Chairman!”
“yes.”
Until there.
However, if it is not your first meeting, the story is different. If you are planning to be more cordial than necessary with me, your employer, then it is problematic to leave it as is.
No, the problem gets bigger.
Because he spends money and gives applause, he is not a very kind-hearted idiot.
“this.”
Lee Han naturally handed his cleanly emptied glass to Secretary Kang. Secretary Kang, who was just about to receive Hae-joon’s cell phone, stared at Lee Han’s glass when he suddenly intervened.
“Oh, the waiter just passed by, so please wait a moment. “I’ll call you right away and fill it in.”
“no. “It’s okay to have champagne.”
“Why are you doing that? “Have you ever had a problem with alcohol?”
“Write it down.”
There was no trace of bitterness anywhere in Lee Han’s grinning smile. The indifferent eyes, the appropriate politeness, and the sense of intimidation that was clearly difficult to deny, even though it was clear that they were strange, was stronger than usual.
“I would like you to go to the wine cellar and bring me a new one.”
“ah… … yes.”
Secretary Kang hesitantly withdrew the hand he had extended to Hae-joon, lowered his head, and walked away. Hae-jun, who happily held out his cell phone, was also unfamiliar with this situation, so he carefully took a sip of the champagne he was holding.
“… … I really don’t know. “It’s sweet enough for my taste.”
“Look here, Mr. Hae-jun Yoon.”
This seal is worse than I thought.
“You probably think that because you don’t know much.”
“Is that so? But if this isn’t sweet, what on earth is sweet?”
“Whoa.”
I’m the one who pays and feeds you, so why are you giving credit to someone else?
Lee Han swallowed the sigh that was about to escape and took Hae-joon’s cell phone halfway. His eyebrows twitched indifferently as he tapped out my number without any help.
“Let’s call. “I will tell you exactly what your tastes are.”
