“Lee Han said you came. “It’s true.”
“Are you here, father?”
When the study door opened and Chairman Seo entered, Lee Han, who was in front of the bookshelf, turned his head. Leo, who was quick-witted and had been waiting patiently, finally began panting and pricking his ears to acknowledge me. The hand that brushed Leo’s hair was meticulous, just like he touched Yuhan’s hair that day.
“What are you looking for? “I moved all of your books when I moved two years ago.”
“yes. “They took it all.”
Even though he knew this, Lee Han, who was looking around the study, slowly turned his head as if he had some regrets.
“I was wondering if there were any of my grandfather’s belongings left.”
“When did your grandfather die? “He’s already sorted things out and burned what needs to be burned, and all the books he left behind are here.”
“What about other things besides books?”
“Not books? Well, that’s fine. Should I leave it in the archives at headquarters? While I was organizing the study, Yuhan also took all my things and took them to my room, so there must be nothing in here. “But what are you looking for?”
“no. “It’s no big deal.”
It’s bland. When Lee Han gave up easily, Chairman Seo sat down on the sofa in the middle of the study.
“From what I heard, you seem to be good at hospital work.”
“I thought they were fired because they couldn’t work on cars.”
“… … .”
Why did I think that guy was bland?
Only after Chairman Seo’s eyes showed a hint of remorse did Lee Han sit across from his father with a wide smile. A look of joy spread across Chairman Seo’s face, as if he didn’t like being alone with his eldest son for the first time in a long time.
“Now that I think about it, this isn’t my first time working at a hospital. “I went with your grandfather a few times in the past.”
“All I did was reply on behalf of my grandfather.”
“I brought Yuhan with me often. “I carry it around all day and it’s quite cute.”
“At that time, Seo Yu-han was still a person.”
“… … .”
Normally, stories like this would be enough to move one’s heart, but as expected, Lee Han gave a legitimate reason for ‘treating his younger brother’ with a cold smile without any hesitation.
These two sons are already too far gone from my hands. Chairman Seo, who gave up his unnecessary greed, returned to the story he was talking about.
“what. Anyway, your grandfather was quite satisfied with what you were doing.”
“… … .”
“He was so inspired that he even took over the hospital that was just giving donations.”
Chairman Seo, who was reminiscing about that time, shook his head as if it was funny even thinking about it now. He was a man whose meaning I never fully understood until the day he died.
“What about investing? How can I stop you if you are doing it with your own money?”
“I guess so.”
“But seeing as you’re at the top now, I guess it wasn’t a completely useless investment.”
Son. Isn’t it time to tell me something?
There was anticipation on Chairman Seo’s face as he quietly talked about the hospital. Although she does not have the personality to make a big fuss like Mrs. Cha, she is not at the point where she turns a deaf ear to rumors about Lee Han.
Since I had only seen it in passing on my wife’s birthday, I was very curious.
“From what I hear, it sounds like you’re doing pretty well at the hospital.”
“It’s kind of like that.”
“hmm. The president of Korea Bank called me directly not long ago. “I heard there was some commotion in the gallery.”
For a story that everyone clearly knows, the introduction is long. One corner of Lee Han’s mouth went up at an angle as he guessed what his father was going to say.
“I guess they just want to make a fuss over there.”
“I can’t help it. “Yuhan was hurt, but it wasn’t a big wound.”
“I’m sure Yuhan wasn’t the only one injured?”
“… … huh?”
“The damage caused by words is no less serious. “Your daughter speaks so well that it would be a shame to end it with such a fuss.”
If there is anyone in the world who should not be judged for the hurt they verbally inflict on others, it is Lee Han, but the situation is different when the one being hurt is mine. My teeth still grind when I think of Hae-jun standing there that day with Yu-han’s blood on his face. However, it is true that it is complicated in many ways to ask for responsibility.
“are you okay. “This much.”
“That’s because I don’t like the chairman.”
It would be better if it was a business problem, but there is no sign of injury anywhere.
As for the seal, it shouldn’t be unnecessarily strong. Just pretend that your heart hurts in one place… … .
“Lee Han?”
“Anyway, I know what you mean. “I guess I’m just asking you to take it in moderation.”
When his father was surprised by Lee Han’s narrowed eyebrows, he soon calmed down his expression. Giving things up in moderation was something he always wanted from all his family. Chairman Seo also rubbed his chin with a slightly bitter smile.
“I can’t help it. “I can’t involve household chores in my business.”
“sure. “That’s the way it should be.”
“… … okay. “Thank you for understanding.”
Without realizing it, Chairman Seo’s smile, as he was observing Lee Han’s thoughts, became somewhat complicated. I had no doubt that if it was Lee Han and no one else, he would separate it on his own, but this time the person at stake was different.
‘I heard you seem to be thinking seriously.’
Even though I didn’t believe everything my wife or my brother-in-law said, I was worried because he was also a father. Anyway, since Lee Han had stepped aside, he held out his other hand as if feeling sorry.
“This matter has come to an end, but if there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know at any time.”
“Didn’t I already tell you? “As the VIP ward opens, please connect us with the right people.”
“… … “Oh, I did.”
Even while holding the cold tea, Lee Han remains quiet. Chairman Seo was completely relieved to see his eldest son expressionless as usual.
“The secretary’s office has probably already contacted the planning director there. “The CEO of the construction company who recently went to the Middle East said that there was someone there who was a nobleman or something and wanted to have heart surgery.”
“okay.”
“By the way, if you make a mistake in putting a knife to your body, the situation will become complicated. Are you okay with that?”
“It will be okay. No, it will get better.”
Are you referring to the person receiving the surgery or the person performing the surgery? I didn’t feel the slightest anxiety in Lee Han’s answer.
“I don’t know the circumstances, but considering it has to come all the way to Korea, it won’t be an easy surgery.”
“Because he is a person who does his best in everything he does.”
“… … .”
“Once in a while, it’s just too much.”
Lee Han, who had finished his business, could not find the same regret as before. As he stood up from his seat after politely greeting his father, the entrance became noisy. The waking up time was perfect, as if I had already guessed who would come in.
“Oh my, Lee Han. Are you leaving already?”
“Seo Yihan. It’s disappointing. “We just got here?”
“yes.”
That’s exactly why I’m going.
Lee Han’s indifferent gaze, appropriately distanced, looked around at his mother, aunt, and even Yuhan who was hiding behind them. Still, whenever Yuhan appears, unlike the frown he used to give, he puts on a polite smile, perhaps because of old thoughts from a while ago.
“I have a favor to ask your father. “The story is over.”
“Well, really? “Then, do you have anything to ask your mom?”
“Are you asking me for a favor?”
“Why? You know, there’s something like that. Something her mom could appreciate a little better. If it’s shiny and stuff like that… … .”
“iced coffee. I guess there is. then.”
As Mrs. Cha glanced at the sparkling ring on her hand, Lee Han nodded briefly. Oh my goodness. Look at this guy. While she was unable to hide her anticipation and made eye contact with Hyojin, Lee Han’s hand suddenly separated the two of them.
“I hope you don’t wear something like this.”
“brother!”
Lee Han was merciless as he snatched the seal doll hanging from Yuhan’s cell phone. Everything you do is like that. Mrs. Cha let out an awkward laugh as if she was taken aback by his indifferent eyes, which told her that he was just tongue-tied and there was nothing to be surprised about.
“Yuhan is so young. Why are you wearing something like that? Ho Ho.”
“Could you please give me your mobile phone as well?”
“Why mine? I don’t carry things like that around, do I? “Childishly, how old is your mother?”
“yes. “My mother is old, so would you mind searching for a good pork cutlet restaurant in Seoul?”
“… … “Suck.”
I knew it.
When Mrs. Cha was so shocked that she couldn’t speak and just kept her mouth shut, Lee Han withdrew his hand as if he knew she would do that. I wonder if there is a legal way to stop him from wearing this hat, something he has been wishing for a long time more than anything else, but as it is the law of heaven, there is nothing he can do about it.
“Then I will go. “I’m sure your aunt is tired, so please get some rest.”
“Do you have anything to ask of me?”
“… … “Aunt.”
The moment there was one more person he wanted to legally ban from going together, Lee Han’s lips twitched. My mother and younger sister had overly simple personalities so there was no need to think hard, but my aunt was different. He likes to manipulate people and has a quick mind. In short, he is the person he wants to stay away from the most.
