Chapter 8 - Tea Party

Haneul sat gracefully in a navy blue closed evening gown. The top of her shirt had a ruffle to the belly button, which either intentionally or unintentionally gave the impression that she was deliberately hiding her belly. While Myung, who is standing next to her, is dressed casually but stylishly in a navy top shirt and Chanel pants without gaspers. He likes the way Haneul chooses clothes for him.

"You're lying; this isn't a family tea party."

Myung whispers as he enters a super large estate, and he doesn't even know there is a place like this in Korea (where has he been?). There are tens, if not hundreds, of humans scattered throughout it. They don't even passively recognize Myung. But the people who came here were not ordinary people.

"Haneulnie..." Two middle-aged women with made-up voices seemed to see Myung and Haneul's presence and then started to walk closer.

"They are my aunts," Haneul whispered, then quickly gave a greeting and they hugged each other.

The two women smiled at Myung. "So this is it. Aigoo, I thought we would never meet. Your name is Cho Myung, right? "

One of them greeted Myung aggressively and didn't bother to hide his appraising gaze, probing Myung from head to toe. The man smiled stiffly, even though he felt uncomfortable.

"How are you? So, where do you live now? We didn't attend your wedding. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry."

"It's all right, Auntie". Haneul smiled kindly. "We are now living in Daechidong."

"Do you guys live in a house? Apartment? "

"A house that my in-laws gave me."

The aunts giggled. "Oh my goodness, thank God. We heard that your father-in-law is a good person and has a noble personality. We are glad you were treated with such affection. "

Myung doesn't know if he meant to be sarcastic or what, but he felt odd about the two women's words. He couldn't join in smiling or laughing like them.

"Well, Myung-gun, so is Haneul being nice to you? Does she do her homework? "

"Of course, I helped her."

One of them choked with wide eyes. "Is that true? What are you doing? "

"Cleaning the second floor, ceiling, taking out the trash..."

"Uhhh, the house is two floors! I'm so happy to hear that. It must be very beautiful, huh? Can we go there another time? "

"Of course," Myung answered simply, but he was a bit offended because his sentence was cut just now.

Haneul wasn't looking at it. She seemed to be enjoying a piece of red velvet that was on a nearby table and was twirling her fork with focus.

"Haneul? Oh my God... After so long, How are you? Is your womb healthy? "

This time, another group came even before the two had left. This time there were two more middle-aged fat women and three men of their age in the crowd. Myung gave a pleasant greeting.

"We are friends of Haneul's parents. It's nice to meet you, Myung-SSI. Say hello to me when you see me on the street. "

Myung's question was immediately answered.

"I'm fine, we're healthy." Haneul returned their hug while talking, forgetting the red velvet cake just now.

"What are you guys talking about, by the way?"

"Ah, we just asked about the life of their newlyweds. These two are fun. They don't have an assistant at home and work together to clean every corner. "

"Is that true? Geez! Myung-gun I'm sorry to say this, but Haneul is pregnant. I hope she's not too tired, huh? Oh, by the way, how old is she in her womb? "

Myung was petrified. He didn't know. And that last question was directed at him. Myung turned to Haneul, but the girl wasn't looking at him and instead seemed to avoid him.

"Third month—I guess," Myung said in the end. He took a deep breath. He doesn't know what kind of family he was going to see tonight.

In all his life, he had never felt dwarfed, other than being bullied by his father's old wife. Only these women managed to make him sick and embarrassed at the same time.

"Then let's say goodbye. Okay, you guys haven't met the host yet, have you? I heard this is also to celebrate Park Eunji, who holds a new position in Shin's fashion, right? Go congratulate her. "

**

Shin's fashion? Haneul doesn't know when there was that name among the many subsidiaries owned by their family. Haneul built it with the name Shinena, not Shin's fashion. And how could he meet her sister-in-law face-to-face today? She is the person Haneul wants to avoid the most, after her mother-in-law.

Haneul sat in any place and ignored Myung, who had been confused, surprised, awkward, and next to her. Her gaze was straight ahead to see the biological mother she missed chatting with her sister-in-law. Meanwhile, Haneul's father was standing not far from them.

"We're not there to say hello?" Myung interrupted her daydream. Haneul felt guilty for the man beside her. She never told Myung anything, and the man was not prepared to come to the wolf den.

"I want to see my Mother from a distance."

Myung knows this woman misses her mother as much as she can't say. Haneul has not even been here since their wedding day. There has never been any communication between the two. Haneul's mother is still very angry and sick of seeing it.

It makes me jealous to see the mother chatting with her sister-in-law.

"Haneul, can I go there for a moment? I saw a friend I knew there. I want to say hi to him. "

**

Myung was sure that he had seen Choi Yoon. Among the many foreigners, he knew very well the face shape and posture of his colleague. After saying goodbye to Haneul, he immediately took big steps to find out where Choi Yoon had gone. At least Myung had commensurate interlocutors here with him, not middle-aged humans.

"Ah no... They're just a new chaebol family, with no special bloodline. That guy only makes a little money; he's just a second-generation successor. "

"Is that true? No wonder Old Madam dumped Haneul for choosing someone who wasn't rich enough to be her son-in-law. "

"They are a newly rich family, only rich for a few years. like mainland Chinese. "

Myung was dumbfounded to hear Haneul's name being mentioned in a set with other sentences. Who are they talking about? Is it about Myung? Who do they say is not rich enough here? He even entered Forbes magazine with his father as the most influential person in Asia.

"I also heard that this child was born from a concubine, not from the empress."

"Oh, that's terrible. I'm so sorry for Haneul. "

"No, don't be sorry. The girl is very stupid because she doesn't want an abortion. She is looking for the man while digging in the trash. "

When Myung heard the sound of laughter, his heart throbbed pitifully. What's wrong? Why is it that even people like him are not well established in their families?

"Oh, I also dug in the trash when I wanted to see it."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know that Haneul's husband fills the cover of a geeky magazine? My daughter subscribed but ended up in the trash. And when everyone heard about him, we dug in the trash to see what he looked like."

They laughed again.

"So what's it like?"

"It's quite commensurate with the madam's decision to throw away her youngest daughter. This man is not qualified to enter our family clan. "

Myung hurriedly left the area and stopped eavesdropping on the conversation about him. For the first time in his life, he felt poor, dirty, and unworthy. He was ignorant and blind about anything in Haneul's family or the girl, and now knowing her past made Myung almost go crazy.

Haneul was dumped by his family for marrying a man like him. What's wrong, Myung? Myung is missing what? Not rich enough. What do you mean?

He even forgot his original purpose of looking for Choi Yoon and returned to the place where Haneul was waiting for him while still daydreaming because something invisible was blocking him from meeting his parents.

"Haneul!" Myung lost quickly, but a man managed to grab his wife first and take the woman away. Myung followed behind.

"Ah, Oppa, this is Myung, my husband." Haneul first noticed his presence and introduced Myung to the tall man in front of them.

And the funny thing is that this man is the male version of Haneul, with a more manly and masculine stature.

"Shin Haito." They shake hands. You may not have heard, but I am Haneul's Oppa. "I am her birth brother. "

"Yes. Hyungnim." Myung bowed spontaneously, followed by a small laugh from the man. The man who turned out to be his brother-in-law

"But Myung, I'm sorry for a moment. I borrowed Haneul. There's something we need to talk about."

Myung seemed to nod in agreement, and after Haneul was in Haito's arms, the man took his sister a little to the side of the yard, where not many people were passing by.
