“Everything ended well. “All his vitals are normal and he will probably wake up by tomorrow.”
“okay.”
As expected, Lee Han, who had never had the slightest doubt about that, nodded, saying he knew that would happen. Patient, that woman took care of herself, and now she has to live with me first. She is already something he can see and hear, and his instincts tell him that he will be doubly tired today. As I walked into the event hall holding Hae-joon’s hand, there were more eyes on me than usual.
“If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me. “You can leave anytime.”
“no. Actually, I was curious about this too.”
Hae-joon, who had no way of knowing how he felt, shook his head innocently. The charity auction at the beginning of the year was different from the previous celebrations, and there was a lot of laughter right from the entrance. When the host standing in the center held out a painting, Hae-joon was also amazed by the sight and lifted his heel.
“Wow.”
There are people who pay money to buy things like that.
She covered her mouth in surprise as people raised their hands here and there. Then she noticed someone standing in front and quickly looked up at her friend.
“Hey, Lee Han’s mother is here. “I have to go quickly and say hello.”
“Then together,”
“no. “I want to go alone.”
I don’t know anything else, but the answer is to take off this hat. Hae-joon, who had already learned enough lessons from the past few experiences, was busy flexing his legs so that Lee-han would follow him.
“You’re such a busy doctor as always.”
“Aunt.”
Lee Han, who was left alone, was not very surprised when he saw Hyo Jin come up to his side. What will come will come. In her eyes, she was following Hae-joon, but her aunt had already tied her to Yu-han and separated him into the category of ‘something that cannot be done by the will of a single human being.’
“Doctor Yoon, I guess you went to say hello to your mom. “Oh my, you’re so polite.”
“The problem is that you apply too much.”
“And it’s bold.”
“… … .”
Hyojin blatantly glanced at Lee Han, wondering if that was the real problem.
Yes, you have to come out like this to be our aunt.
Lee Han also met her properly for the first time. Of course, it was after making sure that Hae-joon was safely captured by his mother, but at least he had time to take a breather.
“I think I apologized enough last time, Auntie.”
“know. then.”
When Hyojin unfolded the fan she had picked up at an auction a while ago, a magnificent landscape painting unfolded. Although her Western-style dress, which exposes her shoulders, may seem a little foreign, she is also like her bloodline, and the time and place take care of covering her. When you put a black ink painting on a soft silver-gray dress, there is no other leisurely freshness.
“How could I forget that day? “This is the first day Lee Han cried and prayed for you.”
“… … “If you say that and it makes you even a little satisfied, I’ll give it to you.”
“anyway.”
Hyojin folded the fan in response to her eldest nephew’s reaction, who was not even embarrassed, let alone upset. She bought it for the sole reason of wanting to fold it in such a fashionable way at least once, so it’s not her loss either.
“So you miss my apples already?”
“no. “I’ve apologized, but now I’m curious about something else.”
“… … “I’m glad I’m not curious.”
“Thank you! “Can’t this work?”
As expected, people in a hurry dig wells. The people who turned around to hear Hyojin’s slightly louder voice dispersed with a frown from Lee Han. Lee Han, who tried to pretend he didn’t hear until the end, swallowed a deep sigh when he saw Hyojin’s eyes shining excessively.
“You want to receive an apology and a thank you note?”
“If I had to guess, it would be like that.”
“… … .”
“Now that I think about it, I’ve never even heard that from you.”
Hyojin’s voice whispering behind the folded fan was lightly scattered by the gentle wind.
“What haven’t I bought for you since I was little? “Since the time when I had no children and the only nephew I had was you, I bought everything I didn’t have!”
“yes. “You said so.”
There were countless things I received from my aunt, except that I didn’t take his tastes into consideration at all. From small toys to clothes and watches, the scale grew as he became an adult. He can’t say he never received anything, as the most recent he received was a limited edition sports car of which only three came into the country.
“It would be better to just give it to Yuhan instead of me. “That guy wouldn’t just say thank you, he would actually bow.”
“So not really.”
“… … .”
“There is no difficulty.”
Lee Han’s gaze, which was close to admiration, passed by Hyojin, who was waving her fan and saying that she did not want to do that. However, I didn’t want to say out loud, ‘No matter what anyone says, we are aunt and nephew,’ so I quietly raised my glass.
“I’m sorry you don’t like it. “It’s a problem I can’t do anything about.”
“You’re not going to say thank you until the end?”
“… … Phew.”
After realizing that people with too much money and time can get caught up in strange things like this, Lee Han decided to be a little more humble. Of course, entirely by his standards.
“Seo Yi-han, you said you had nothing to ask me for before, but you ended up doing it!”
“That was then.”
“This time too. “Aren’t you curious about what gift I have prepared for you?”
“… … “I’m not curious, but I’ll ask.”
If that’s the case, well.
Thank goodness it was only a matter of seconds before he decided to be humble. When Lee Han took his glass away from Hyojin’s fan, he lifted his other hand from under Hyojin’s fan.
“this. “I bought it a little while ago.”
“… … .”
His face hardened when he saw that instead of a jewel, there was a light spinning object on Hyojin’s white fingers. Fearing that someone might be from the Seo family, I used my racing head to ask ‘what that was’ and instead found Hae-joon with his mother.
“okay. “I thought you would know what I meant.”
“Aunt.”
“I mean. “I’m not a tight-lipped person like your mom.”
Lee Han’s eyes suddenly became confused as he wondered how on earth his mother could live in such a tight manner. Anyway, if it’s in his aunt’s hands, he’s quite interested.
“Actually, he was secretly sorry before. “That’s not why I bought a boat full of cameras.”
“It wouldn’t have been anything special.”
“therefore.”
Hyojin, who folded the fan as an expression of regret, got the high price right today. The key to the Royal Suite on the top floor of this hotel, which cost a little more than the debt, also had to be paid for.
“I’m not necessarily telling you what to do. “You are an adult, Mr. Yoon is also an adult, and oh, by the way, it’s Valentine’s Day?”
“… … .”
Lee Han responded by emptying all the glasses he was holding and looked straight at his aunt.
okay. There should be that kind of reaction.
With a relaxed smile, Hyojin raised her hand and called a waiter to change the empty glass for her.
“There is no place in downtown Seoul with a view as spectacular as this suite.”
“If that’s the case, then me too.”
“no no. “It’s fully booked.”
On a day like today, it seems foolish.
Her triumphant smile disappeared behind her fan. Young people these days say that when they pretend, they pretend, but if you look closely, Lee Han is also quite stubborn in this regard. She was more than satisfied with that fact and pressed her already twitching lips together.
“I’m not necessarily telling you what to do. “I feel sorry about that, and I’m also curious about how it feels to hear you say thank you.”
“Aunt.”
“I should have bought another one when I saw it was wrapped so tightly.”
Hyojin turned her finger so that Lee Han could clearly see the answer he wanted until the end. Changrang, it was definitely more skillful in handling it than a fan in many ways.
“iced coffee… … right. “It was the last one, right?”
◇ ◆ ◇
“This is the person meeting Chairman Seo?”
“I’ve seen you from afar before, but now you’re finally saying hello to me properly. Mrs. Cha too.”
“haha.”
Hae-jun smiled as kindly as he could at the middle-aged women surrounding him. Is it okay for me to shamelessly be in a situation like this? When I think about what it was like the last time I met his mother, my heart still feels heavy.
“Open it. hurry.”
“mother.”
“I told you to take a quick look. I was wondering when I should give this to you… … .”
Was it really an envelope of money?
Hae-joon, who was thinking about that day for a moment, his expression darkened, so he quickly raised the corners of his mouth. He said the meeting ended before he could properly check, but that made him even more sorry.
It’s not fake anymore.
I really got to meet your son.
At the time, I had an excuse to act shamelessly, but now I don’t know how to deal with the tingling in my heart. It is said that the relationship between men and women is unpredictable, but parental feelings are a separate issue. My mother alone raised her arrogance when people in the neighborhood crowded around her, so it goes without saying that she is the mother of a man like Lee Han.
‘That man is my man.’
Hae-joon swallowed his dry saliva as if making up his mind. As soon as I came to say hello to him, other people crowded in and there was no time for a conversation alone, but I couldn’t continue to act awkwardly.
“Hey, mother.”
“Yep. “Go ahead and tell me.”
“… … .”
Shouldn’t I have called?
