“Anything wrong?” Yoo-Na asked Ji-Hoon who kept shuffling through the pages of the file.
But he just shook his head in denial. “Everything seems to be fine.” he said but his facial expressions were saying something else...
…
Tae-Hoon was giving his presentation about the coordination between their companies and Oh Ha-Min was really impressed with Tae-Hoon. He never thought that Tae-Hoon could be that responsible ever and somewhere in his heart he felt contended for his daughter.
After the meeting, Ha-Min did not talk to him at all, while Tae-Hoon was nervous he might ask weird father-in-law types of questions from him.
When he got out of the conference room, Ha-Neul came running to him and Tae-Hoon frowned his eyebrows in confusion as to why Ha-Neul was there.
“Hello, Brother-in-law.” Ha-Neul sweetly smiled.
“How come you are here? Hmmm.” Tae-Hoon asked crossing his arms.
“Oh, actually I came here for you know... experience purposes, I am the future owner of the Oh Industries.” he was nervous and Tae-Hoon slightly laughed.
“Tell me the truth, what is it.” he ruffled the younger one’s hair and being the youngest sibling, he never got such a chance until now.
“Umm... I was just wandering around the company. But I did not see my goddess anywhere.” Ha-Neul bit his lower lip looking at Tae-Hoon.
“And who is your goddess?” he asked squinting his eyes.
“Wang... Wang Hye-Rin.” Ha-Neul was smiling shyly like a teenager in love. Tae-Hoon wanted to laugh so hard but he controlled himself. “You cannot meet her.” Tae-Hoon pursed his lips.
“Why? Is she not available today?” Ha-Neul felt dejected.
“No, actually... she has decided to retire. We are going to announce this news soon.” Tae-Hoon said not wanting to burst the fantasy bubble Ha-Neul had about his so-called goddess.
“Why... she is so good.” he was disappointed. “What can we do. It is her own decision.” Tae-Hoon shrugged his shoulder.
“It means I won’t be able to meet her ever.” Ha-Neul sadly said while pouting. “I will let you meet your future goddess if you happen to have one.” Tae-Hoon said laughing at him.
“Don’t make fun of me, a loyal fan never changes.” he crossed his arms across his chest in determination and Tae-Hoon again laughed. “For now, you need to change your direction or else your father...” even before Tae-Hoon could complete his sentence Ha-Neul dashed from there.
…
When Tae-Hoon returned home he found the curtain stand gone from between the beds.
Hani saw him looking at the space where the curtain stand was placed before. “It made me feel suffocated so that’s why I told the workers to remove it.” she said fidgeting her fingers and Tae-Hoon just nodded without looking at her and went to the bathroom to get fresh.
…
Dong-Hoon and Se-Young were coming inside the house together yet again and Jung-Nan with a sharp glare looked at both of them while approaching them.
“Don’t you think I need to know about all the stuff you guys are up to?”
Dong-Hoon and Se-Young gulped with fear, looking at each other.
How did Jung-Nan get to know about them going to Hospital? they were asking while looking into each other's eyes.
“What are you talking about mom.” Dong-Hoon said trying his best not to show his nervousness.
“Do you guys really think that such a thing can stay hidden from me for long?” her eyes looked like fire as if the flame was ready to burn both of them into ashes.
“A... a... aunt, we are not hiding anything from you.” she stuttered and cursed herself in her mind. “My dear, a guilty conscience needs no accuser.” Jung-Nan said crossing her arms across her chest.
“I don’t expect anything from Dong-Hoon but Se-Young, I am really disappointed with you. I never knew you can hide such a big thing from me. I feel like you never considered me as your family.” Jung-Nan was looking very unhappy about the situation.
“I am sorry aunty, I will never do this again. I did not tell you not because I don’t consider you as my family, I did so because you would get worried about me." Jung-Nan frowned her eyebrows not getting what Se-Young meant but her next words somewhat cleared her half of the confusion.
“I know that my father is not someone who deserves my kindness but I am doing all this just for my brother.” Se-Young was really feeling bad for hiding this from Jung-Nan.
Dong-Hoon placed his hand on Se-Young's shoulder to console her while on the other hand Jung-Nan was blown away by hearing this news. “What are you talking about? I was asking about both of you dating secretly..." Jung-Nan laughed bitterly. “But I did not know there was something else.” she had one thing clearly written on her face and that was 'Disappointment’.
Dong-Hoon and Se-Young widened their eyes. They were thinking that Jung-Nan found out about Se-Young’s father and brother but she was just teasing them, thinking that they were secretly dating. “Are you going to tell me the complete thing or I need to find it myself?” Jung-Nan said with a blank expression on her face this time.
…
In the living room, Se-Young and Dong-Hoon told Jung-Nan every single thing.
Jung-Nan sighed. “Look, I am just worried about you. What if you get triggered?” Jung-Nan asked looking into Se-Young’s eyes as the corners of her lips were inclined down.
“Don’t worry mom, I will be always with her.” Dong-Hoon assured his mother. “Are you guys really not dating?” Before Dong-Hoon could comment anything thing weird, Se-Young shook her head aggressively.
“No, we are not.” she gave a nervous side glance to Dong-Hoon who was looking at her while shaking his head and Jung-Nan squinted her eyes at them, “Se-Young, if something happened to you then I will not sit still.” Jung-Nan warned her and Se-Young smiled at her in gratefulness and nodded her head.
