"NO." both Se-Young and Dong-Hoon shouted in unison while glaring at each other.
"Ok, you guys are in the denial phase for now hmmm, I understand." Jung-Nan said shaking her head and both of them gave each other those disgusted looks.
…
"I am telling you, they don't realize but they do like each other, there is this... spark between them. It is just our Dong-Hoon is having his EGO issues." Jung-Nan was blabbering in front of Min-Hoon, who just came back from the work.
"I can be wrong about Se-Young but Dong-Hoon, he really has something going on in his head, I really hope that Se-Young and Dong-Hoon can be in a relationship, then she will always be with us." she was smiling, knitting her own dreams.
"Are you sure they like each other?" Min-Hoon said suggestively.
"Hundred percent sure. I have caught Dong-Hoon looking at her with those eyes sometimes. What can he do? Se-Young is too beautiful to not to fall for." she said like a proud mother.
"Hmmmm...”
...
On the breakfast table, Se-Young and Dong-Hoon were glaring at each other.
"Oh my God, how are you guys eating that thing. That thing smells so bad." Dong-Hoon said making a disgusted face and scrunching his nose.
"It is better than the words coming out of your mouth." she backfired with her witty words. If Ji-Hoon and Dong-Hoon did not have that conflict between them, he would surely have laughed out loud and booed at him.
While everyone was shaking their head due to them, Hani lifted her bowl and sniffed, taking the smell in. "Brother Dong-Hoon, it is not smelling bad and it is actually good." she innocently said not understanding what Dong-Hoon meant.
Everyone was looking at her like she was an alien and Tae-Hoon started to laugh hysterically at her uniqueness. When she saw him laughing cheerfully for the first time after the marriage she smiled as well, his laughter was really beautiful to her.
Jung-Nan who felt frustrated at the bickering couple was now smiling looking at these two and Ji-Hoon sighed and pursed his lips. He had been feeling that it would be best if the relationship between Tae-Hoon and Hani would progress and everyone should move on from the past but that moment did not last long when Se-Young hit Dong-Hoon's foot roughly with hers.
He was groaning in pain and was about to grab anything which would help him and throw it on her forehead but Min-Hoon shouted, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It would not be nice if I saw you guys fighting again." both of them dropped their heads in shame now that Min-Hoon had opened his mouth.
Jung-Nan pursed her lips, suppressing the laughter to come out.
When Min-Hoon shouted, Hani flinched getting startled and she clutched the table cloth as a reflex. Tae-Hoon noticed how scared she was and he just silently laughed at her cuteness.
"And You, I have something to talk about for many days. I think it is a good day." Min-Hoon said to Dong-Hoon as he nodded his head. "Yes, Dad."
Even though, they got scolded but still were giving each other glares and making faces towards each other.
...
Dong-Hoon went to his parent's room, Min-Hoon and Ji-Hoon were already there and he just ignored Ji-Hoon's presence and walked up to his father. "Sit down." Min-Hoon pointed towards the chair beside Ji-Hoon, while he himself was sitting on the bed.
Ji-Hoon was about to go but Min-Hoon stopped him. "Stay seated, I need to talk to you after this." Ji-Hoon just nodded this head and again settled onto the chair.
"I want to inform you that that, Mins have proposed a deal for us so that you and Min Eun-Bi, the MD of their company can be together in a relationship." he said to Dong-Hoon tilting his head slightly forward.
"What! I have already rejected her on the blind date her brother arranged for us. I don't want a relationship right now dad." Dong-Hoon's face looked troubled.
"But that does not look like the case here." Min-Hoon said and both Ji-Hoon and Dong-Hoon frowned their eyebrows.
"Don't act confused, I am talking about you and Se-Young." Ji-Hoon rolled his eyes thinking that his father must have some kind of misunderstanding going on in his head.
"Dad, there is nothing like this in between us. Can't you see, whenever we are in front of each other, we just fight and nothing else. I think you have some kind of misunderstanding here." Dong-Hoon explained himself.
But Min-Hoon shook his head. "You would not even realize when this game of Tom and Jerry will change into attraction. I don't want to see you doing this cat-fight with her anymore, even your mother thinks that you guys are in some kind of love-hate relationship. Plus, I will not force you to be with that girl, Eun-Bi but think about it at least. A person like Se-Young can live under this roof being a... what you call her... a housemaid right, yes, but not a family member, she cannot become a part of our family, always remember this." Dong-Hoon gulped looking at his father. He never knew that his father was someone wo would discriminate people based on their background like that.
Although, all his words were directed towards Se-Young but he felt that sharp pain in his heart. He was exactly like that not letting him go towards his dreams. He never thought in his wildest dreams that his father thought of Se-Young like that.
"Dad..." Ji-Hoon protested.
"You don't have a say in this situation." Min-Hoon warned Ji-Hoon and he shut his mouth in front of his father's words.
"I hope that you will stay away from Se-Young as you yourself know that she is just a housemaid and nothing else. I really believe that you will not disappoint me." he said to Dong-Hoon and Dong-Hoon just nodded his head, not saying anything further.
And then Jung-Nan barged into the room out of nowhere. "What is this? I always thought of Se-Young as my own daughter and you... in just one second... crushed all that. I never expected that from you." although she was not crying but her eyes were glistened, hearing her husband’s opinion about Se-Young.
