When Hyo-jin refused Hae-joon’s invitation to catch her and left, leaving behind only the sound of a fan rustling behind her, Hae-jin followed behind her as if curious.
“Your aunt is in a good mood today… … .”
“not really.”
“… … .”
If you feel good, is there any reason not to do so?
Hearing his cold, subdued voice, Hae-joon slowly looked at him. His expression didn’t look like this until he went to see his mother. Lee Han is always the same Lee Han, but the atmosphere has changed a little in that short period of time.
A little colder, a little hotter.
“Mr. Lee Han.”
“My mother looks quite happy.”
“ah… … .”
Lee Han’s eyes, which seemed to be frowning for a moment but were hidden in the shadows, soon calmed down. what. Hae-joon, who was staring at him, burst into empty laughter, and his expression became much more natural.
“Why did you two talk so happily?”
“It’s just a story about mothers, right?”
Hae-joon had no way to convey his mother’s complicated feelings, so he just smiled. Even if I explain everything step by step, he is not a man who will understand. If it were a man who would have understood that, my mother wouldn’t have insisted on it like that in the first place. Feeling sorry for her, she deliberately auctioned off her gaze.
“I guess it’s still going on.”
“Because that’s what’s left.”
Lee Han’s head followed Hae Joon’s gaze toward the center of the stage. There is nothing new in collections of jewelry, antiques, or more. On the other hand, Hae-joon, seeing this scene for the first time, was quite excited and stretched out his hand.
“Look at that, Lee Han. It seems like there is a sound coming from the jewelry box. “Isn’t it amazing?”
“… … okay.”
No matter how close the ballerina in the music box was to performing acrobatics, it was not as good as the dazzling steps of the aunt who was walking nearby as if showing me off. While Lee Han, who placed his hand on the back of her neck, silenced her, someone bid on her music box for a price equivalent to the cost of one date.
“and… … “It’s really different.”
“what?”
“I mean chaebol.”
As Lee Han’s gaze indifferently looked down at me became a little more serious, Hae Joon’s smile filled me with embarrassment.
“It’s amazing that you can buy something just because you want it. “That should be natural to those people.”
“Mr. Hae-jun.”
“When I buy something, I weigh it all up. “How long have you wanted it, how long can you use it, and how will you feel when you really have it?”
Lee Han’s eyes were dazzled by the flowing chestnut hair that followed Hae-joon’s hand gestures. Perhaps aware of the way his gaze was incomparable to when looking at items at the auction house, Hae-joon hurriedly covered his smile as if he belatedly remembered something.
“hmm… … .”
“What else?”
He slowly raised his hand towards Hae-joon’s hair and finally clenched his fist. I never thought I would realize now that having so many eyes is a nuisance. Hyojin, who did not miss this moment, twirled his finger again from afar.
These women really are.
A girl who laughs at different things even when she’s next to me, or a girl who laughs when she sees me even when she’s far away from me.
In short, it can be said to be a total crisis in which no woman has any easy time.
“Now, everyone, please pay attention. This item is the highlight of today’s auction! Presented by CEO Min of Daehan Pharmaceutical… … .”
As Lee Han entered into unprecedented agony, the host’s voice was filled with energy. The price of the items seemed to be getting higher and higher, and it seemed like that would be the end of today’s event. Lee Han, who had no interest in miscellaneous and annoying auctions, lightly massaged the back of his neck.
“It’s okay, just tell me.”
“Mr. Lee Han.”
“… … .”
Lee Han’s shoes turned towards a woman who was equally difficult but at least sweet. She was definitely a woman who had an uncanny knack for distracting all of her thoughts with just one bright smile.
“Let’s laugh together at what’s so funny.”
“It’s nothing special, I just remembered when Lee Han confessed to me.”
“… … “Why is that happening all of a sudden?”
“I was so embarrassed at the time that I couldn’t believe it. “I don’t even know why Mr. Lee Han says that to me, and it all seems like a joke.”
“joke?”
“That’s what it says.”
Whispering, red wine flowed along with her laughter in the glass that was close to her mouth. Haejun, who had no idea how far the wave was spreading, covered his cheek, lost in thought.
“Even now that I think about it, we didn’t have that kind of relationship. Every time we meet, we only talk about paying off our debt. “You remember Lee Han too, right?”
“… … well.”
Wasn’t that one-sided on your part?
Lee Han’s cold smile appeared on the surface of the glass. It was a seal with a very useful memory, but if I could just pretend not to notice and continue to see those red cheeks, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
“what. “Assuming that was the case.”
“Actually, Mr. Lee Han didn’t want to deduct the debt from me, but I even thought about it.”
“… … .”
Hae-joon’s laughter grew louder as he followed the noisy surroundings.
“I’m doing better than I thought, I’m paying off my debt well, so even though I’m super rich, it might be a waste, so Lee Han confessed to me and wanted to use that as an excuse to not get a stamp… … . “78 million won is definitely not a small amount of money.”
“It’s definitely not a small amount of money.”
“yes. “I would have even thought of something like that.”
Hae-joon, who didn’t know that he would be able to share his thoughts out loud, belatedly emptied the entire glass as if he was thirsty. At times like this, I felt comfortable with Lee Han, who didn’t say anything.
‘Is this why I liked this man?’
Hae-joon, who was in an excited mood, lightly bit his itchy lip. The surgery went well, things seem to have gone well with my mother, and even the charity auction by conglomerates that have nothing to do with me was fun, so today seems like a day when everything goes smoothly. When he lifted his toe toward the picture pointed out by the host, the sight of a white boat on the blue sea was like a picture.
“… … This is a 2017 model Italian company A’s yacht that stands out for its small cabin that can accommodate 4 people. It is currently at a mooring site on the Han River, so I prepared this photo here. If you have any questions about the nature of the item… … .”
“Wow. “I guess they’re offering all that stuff too.”
“huh.”
Hae-joon, who had been watching the podium with sparkling eyes at his indifferent answer, turned to his face. Come to think of it, he was a quiet man by nature, but he kept talking to me all the time.
“… … .”
I don’t think he would be offended by something like that.
When Hae-joon tilted his head in an inexplicable sense of discomfort, Lee Han’s smile became polite as he glanced down at her.
“why?”
“Oh, no. “I just think it looks good.”
It’s bland.
Hae-joon, who was a little nervous at his short laugh, lightly folded the corners of his eyes. That guy wasn’t serious for a day or two, and this time it definitely seemed like I was mistaken. Still, since I’m naturally standing with this man like this, there’s no way my eyes will be drawn to him even if he puts something out in front of me and talks about it. She giggled as she looked at her child.
“Why again?”
“I thought I said too much to tell you to do it again. “I also know that Mr. Lee Han wouldn’t have agreed to date me just to avoid paying off his debt.”
“Do you know?”
“sure. “I’m not stupid.”
“Then I’m glad.”
Grinning, Lee Han’s head turned forward and one of his hands went up along with it. The host’s eyes, which he discovered first, turned to Lee Han, and the people’s eyes also turned to him. Hae-joon, who noticed his raised hand only at the end, was confused because it was dark under the lamp.
This man, why?
“ah. Are you Chairman Seo Yi-han of Jeil Hospital? If you have any questions about the yacht for sale,”
“Do you have a camera?”
“… … ah. Unfortunately, since it is a bit old, there is no camera installed. However, if you want to install it separately,
“no. That’s it.”
As Lee Han mercilessly shook his head, the host, who might have been there, looked around the audience with an embarrassed smile. Although it is a charity auction, most expensive items like this end up being returned to the original owner and donated appropriately… … .
“Do you have any more questions, Chairman Seo?”
“… … .”
The host took a step closer to Lee Han, who raised his hand again. This time, the gaze looking back was even stronger than before. This goes without saying, especially if Hyojin is busy glancing at Lee Han all the time.
“Are you sure you want to participate in the auction? I haven’t even told you the starting bidding price yet, but you seem more anxious than you look. Then, considering the age and size, the starting price is 50 million won.”
“Seven hundred and eight hundred thousand.”
“… … .”
All the laughter in the audience fell asleep at the host’s joke that wasn’t a joke. But no matter what everyone else did, from the beginning his only interest was the two women.
“Hey, Mr. Lee Han?”
“Seo Yihan!”
“… … .”
Whether it is a woman who is enchanted from afar or a woman who is enchanted up close, a response like this is already worth the price. Lee Han gestured towards the acceptance certificate held by the host and took out her pen from her pocket.
“Where can I sign my name?”
