Chapter 190 – Chapter 190
I knew Do-kyun’s Baeksan’s face.
No, if you live in Korea, if you have watched the news properly at least once, it would be right to say that it is strange not to know his face.
So, I thought that Do-gyun would feel familiar seeing his face, but was that a hasty judgment?
When he met Baeksan, he was a very different person from what Dokyun knew.
It’s different from what you’ve seen on the news, and there’s an atmosphere that you can only feel when you meet in person.
The old man, with his white hair neatly brushed back, was truly a man worthy of the word ‘dignity’. A feeling of intimidation flowed out from the sight of him reading a book with his back straight. There was a sense of formality in his movements as he turned the pages. The pupil who moved diligently had a cool head.
Do-gyun could hardly slow down his tension because the atmosphere was too heavy to be regarded as an impression that came to mind because the person watching was Seobaeksan.
Silence permeates the space. It was Eun-ah who spoke first.
“Oh, hi…”
“Sit down.”
A low commanding voice. Baeksan read the book, interrupting Eun-ah.
Eun-ah was taken aback by the sight, and soon she sat across from Cheon-wu. The hand he was holding with Do-gyun hadn’t let go until that moment.
Do-gyun sat down with Eun-ah and glared at Cheon-wu across from her.
The culprit behind this. A disgusting human being.
Do-gyun felt Chun-wu’s expression harden when he saw Cheon-wu smiling at him, but he couldn’t shoot right away.
It’s because Baeksan kept his silence.
It was because the atmosphere was too heavy.
Do-gyun sat down with Eun-ah and waited for Baek-san to say something.
It was because I couldn’t speak first because of the atmosphere flowing from Baeksan.
It was some time later that Baeksan opened his mouth.
Widely-.
Baeksan put the book he had been reading the day before before on the armrest of the sofa and slowly scanned Eunah’s face.
Immediately after, in a tense and frozen atmosphere, Baeksan spat out those words.
“The management of the company he is in charge of, will you do it?”
Words thrown around. Cheonwoo, who was shaking his body at him, hurriedly tried to spit out the words.
“Father…”
“Quiet, I didn’t ask you.”
Baeksan stopped it.
His eyes were still on Eun-ah.
“It turns out that the department store is running pretty well. How are you going to do it?”
Do-gyun looked at Eun-ah’s complexion. You will be embarrassed. He kept his mouth shut all of a sudden and then suddenly said something like that, so of course it had to be.
What will Eun-a do if she gets scared? While Do-gyun’s complexion blurred at the thought of what to do if he shrank, Eun-ah, who held Do-gyun’s hand tighter, spat out an answer in a firm tone.
“Oh, no… !”
Her expression was one of the hardest ones she had ever seen.
Baeksan looked at his face and closed his mouth, then looked away from Eun-ah and nodded her head.
“… Yes.”
Baeksan’s gaze blankly scanned the empty space. He seemed to be contemplating something, or just clearing his head.
Baeksan, who kept his mouth shut for a long time and continued his thoughts, soon said that.
“Let’s start with eating.”
This time, it was a word that I spat out like a toss.
*
Do-gyun felt very uncomfortable in this place. The atmosphere was so uncomfortable that I couldn’t tell if the rice was going down my throat or down my nostrils.
He didn’t even have time to taste the food. He was so focused on the way he was eating that he didn’t have time to savor the taste.
If you look at Eun-ah out of the corner of your eye, Eun-ah is in a similar state to you.
The appearance of chopsticks with a stiff movement was a form of puck or tension.
Eun-a, who was eating in the middle of the meal, rolled her eyes. Do-gyun, who was looking sideways, tried to burst out laughing when he suddenly met Eun-ah’s eyes, but he held it back.
However, was it too difficult for Eun-ah to hold back her laughter?
“Puff… !”
A small laugh escaped Eun-ah’s mouth.
Rattle. Do-gyun and Eun-ah’s bodies were excited at the same time.
His gaze slowly turned toward Baeksan.
Should I be happy? Baeksan was playing with his chopsticks with hand gestures that ooze his signature elegance, perhaps not hearing the sound of laughter from just before.
For a moment, let him breathe a sigh of relief.
“Tsk-.”
A voice came from the other side.
Do-kyun opened his eyes wide and looked at Chun-wu, who clicked his tongue. The moment he was about to shoot, Baeksan’s words continued faster than that.
“Where did you learn to kick your tongue at the table?”
“… Sorry.”
Cheonwu, who flinched, crumpled his expression at Baeksan’s words.
In an instant, Do-kyun felt a strange sense of deja vu from Baek-san’s words.
‘Something’s going on…’
It wasn’t just the way he spoke. The way he was reading a book that he saw as soon as he entered, or the way he talked about things without hesitation. And low-key atmosphere.
Why all of that
‘… With Eunseol.’
Resembles.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-ah’s complexion as a thought came to his mind, but Eun-ah continued to eat with a nervous expression as if she didn’t feel anything wrong.
Again, Do-gyun’s gaze swept over Baeksan.
A thought occurred to him that perhaps the base of Eun-seol’s personality was President Jeo, but Do-gyun soon erased the guess.
It’s because it didn’t make sense.
Eun-seol was born when Seo Han-kyung’s abuse went to an extreme.
At that point, Seo Han-kyung was completely separated from her parents’ family, and Eun-ah, who was abused under such Seo Han-kyung, would not know about Baeksan.
A question popped into Do-gyun’s mind.
‘What?’
The resemblance is too blatant to be a mere illusion.
Do-gyun couldn’t concentrate on eating for a different reason than before.
*
After the uncomfortable meal, Do-gyun, who came out to the garden along Baeksan Mountain, exclaimed a small admiration for the greenhouse in a corner of the garden.
‘It’s very pretty.’
I could see well-maintained flowers beyond the greenhouse. Even in the middle of winter, spewing out colorful colors seemed to be a different world, and for some reason, there was a sense of dreamy approach.
After all, is there anything that money can’t do?
Baeksan opened his mouth as he continued to think. His gaze was directed towards Chun-Woo.
“You go.”
“Yeah?”
“Good.”
A low commanding voice.
Do-gyun felt embarrassed at Baek-san’s words and felt a sense of relief when he saw Cheon-wu parenting him.
“Father. I…”
“It’s the third. Good.”
Hold-. Chen Yu’s mouth was closed. Do-kyun, who met Chun-wu’s eyes as he turned around with his head down, laughed pouting and took revenge in the living room.
Do-gyun was a person who never forgot even the slightest grudge.
Chun-wu gnashed his teeth at Do-gyun’s ridicule and walked away with angry steps.
‘Oh, it’s refreshing.’
Of course, considering what Cheonwoo did, it couldn’t have ended like this… Still, where did this kind of revenge come from?
While Do-gyun was praising himself for laughing at the subject of being a jerk, Eun-ah, who had been keeping her mouth shut the whole time, spat out the words.
“Why, why did you find… ?”
Eun-ah glared at Baeksan with the utmost courage she could.
That’s why he had animosity toward Baeksan, who was looking for him only after hearing Cheonwu’s words.
Baeksan stared blankly at the garden, turned his head to Eun-ah’s words, and answered.
“Are you going to marry me?”
It was also a throw-away tone.
It was clear what the words meant. It must be about yourself and Do-gyun.
“Sir, it’s none of your business.”
There was a tremor that could not be hidden in his tone. It was a mixture of resentment, anger, and tension.
It was because I resented that coldness that didn’t even care for my flesh and blood, and I was angry at myself for being so trembling, and I was nervous at the thought that I had to somehow show a nonchalant appearance.
Baeksan stared blankly at Do-gyun at Eun-ah’s words, and then spat out an answer.
“… Yes.”
His gaze returned to the garden.
It was an expression that looked worried, but also looked blank.
Do-gyun, who listened to the ensuing conversation, felt a sense of ambiguity over the growing sense of deja vu.
‘They really look alike…’
Eun-ah, she had never actually had a conversation with Eun-seol, so it’s only natural that she didn’t know, but she knew herself.
The habits of Seobaeksan’s words and actions were very similar to Eunseol’s when they first met.
That deeply sunk and blunt attitude continues to make Do-gyun feel such a sense of deja vu.
I feel uncomfortable for some reason. Unknown causal relationship.
While Do-gyun felt his head getting complicated, words that he couldn’t ignore came out of Baek-san’s mouth.
“Call Eunseol.”
Rattle-.
Do-gyun and Eun-ah’s bodies were shaking.
The expression on his face was the same, conjuring a picture of astonishment.
I know the secret.
It was because of that fact.
Baeksan turned his head.
A deeply sunken gaze penetrated Eun-ah.
Baeksan made a wedge once again so that he would not think he had heard it wrong.
“Eun-seol, I need to talk to him.”
