#Episode 59

“Father, how did you come here with Da-som?”

Goh Ah-reum looked at Da-som with surprised eyes.

“Do you know her?”

“Yes, she’s Eun Hyeok’s friend.”

Rather than saying she was the woman meeting Kang Hyeok, Goh Ah-reum seemed to position Da-som as Eun Hyeok’s friend.

Da-som smiled warmly and greeted Grandfather again.

“Let me introduce myself again. I’m Jeong Da-som, Eun Hyeok’s friend. We’re colleagues training at the same university hospital.”

“I see, I see. You’re quite pretty too.”

“But Father, where are you hurt? Why are you being supported?”

When the chairman approached, Da-som quietly let go of Grandfather’s arm and stepped back.

“I fell down, and this young lady here looked after me. She’s my savior.”

“Oh my, Father, you weren’t hurt anywhere, were you?”

Surprised, Goh Ah-reum examined Grandfather all over.

“This young lady examined me thoroughly. I’m fine. When there’s such a good young lady around, what are you doing instead of making her your grandson’s wife?”

“…Th-that’s…”

Goh Ah-reum’s face reddened as she looked at Da-som. Da-som lowered her gaze and pretended not to hear.

“Look, our family’s eldest grandson is coming. Wouldn’t it be nice to pair her with Kang Hyeok?”

“Ah, Father…”

Kang Hyeok was approaching with long strides. The sight of him checking on Da-som first, then scanning the surrounding people with his eyes was vivid.

…It’s like a runway show.

Even though he was a man who had just been sitting with a blind date woman, she felt good just seeing his face.

“Why is everyone here? And Da-som is…”

Kang Hyeok first pulled Da-som to stand beside him.

“Do you two know each other?”

Grandfather asked Kang Hyeok.

“Yes. We’re seriously dating.”

She opened her mouth watching Kang Hyeok throw a fastball. Goh Ah-reum avoided eye contact, flustered with a flushed face.

“Then the man this young lady said she likes is our Kang Hyeok?”

“…Well, that’s…”

It was true that she had said it with Kang Hyeok in mind, but she didn’t expect him to say it so directly.

When the flustered Da-som looked at Kang Hyeok, he raised the corners of his mouth and looked down at her.

You know this isn’t the time to smile, right?

Coming from a blind date and trying to slip away quietly.

“Hahaha, yes, I recognized our grandson’s wife right away. That’s right. Isn’t that so, dear?”

Goh Ah-reum’s expression hardened stiffly.

Kang Hyeok stared intently at such Goh Ah-reum with an expression full of things to say.

“Invite her home soon. Let’s have a meal together.”

“…Yes, Father. I will.”

Goh Ah-reum’s complexion wasn’t good as she reluctantly answered.

“Now that the ceremony is over, go on. Young people should hang out with young people. Go ahead.”

“…Yes, then Grandfather, please take good care of yourself and make sure to go to the hospital if you’re sick.”

“Alright. You’re so thoughtful. Go on now.”

“Then we’ll go first. And Mother, I’ll call you.”

Kang Hyeok wrapped his arm around Da-som’s waist.

Goh Ah-reum forced a smile while not missing how Kang Hyeok’s arm precisely encircled Da-som’s waist.

After exchanging greetings like that, the two were able to leave the place together.

***

On the way through the hallway toward the elevator, Kang Hyeok asked.

“Did you eat?”

Da-som stared up at Kang Hyeok, who was looking at her with his usual smile as if nothing had happened.

He must have focused on some woman with those charming eyes.

While I was being called by Goh Ah-reum and hearing about breaking up.

When Da-som didn’t answer, Kang Hyeok’s handsome thick eyebrows slightly raised.

“Oh dear, you didn’t eat anything. That’s perfect. Let’s go somewhere quiet together and eat.”

How ridiculous.

Acting like this after having a meal with a woman at a restaurant.

“Did Professor really not eat?”

When Da-som asked back, he narrowed his eyes and looked down at Da-som intently.

Then he tightened his arm around Da-som’s waist, pulled her close, and whispered low.

“What do you mean by that? What is our Da-som suspecting?”

You know everything and you’re acting like this.

Kang Hyeok seemed to intend to just pass by without mentioning it at all, but Da-som thought differently.

If they weren’t going to break up right away, there was no reason to keep it bottled up inside.

“What about the blind date woman? Why are you with me? Did you perhaps send her a text? Saying you’d contact her when you’re off duty?”

As she spoke, she felt a bit choked up.

It was the same when talking with Goh Ah-reum, and she thought she was okay, but she wasn’t.

Da-som freed herself from Kang Hyeok’s embrace by unwrapping his arm around her waist.

He was about to hold on firmly but loosened his grip and let Da-som go.

Kang Hyeok’s gaze as he stared intently from a little distance seemed somehow amused.

“Our Da-som has a keen nose. How did you figure that out?”

Right. From monkey to keen nose now?

Is that something to say to your girlfriend?

As she glared quietly, Kang Hyeok’s face gradually hardened. He stared somewhere in the air with a chilling coldness.

First, you suppress with your facial expression, is that it?

When she bit her lips and looked at him with resentful eyes, Kang Hyeok’s eyes widened briefly as if he just noticed Da-som’s gaze.

“No, no. I’m not angry at Da-som. Did you perhaps meet Mother?”

And he immediately erased the cold expression and raised the corners of his mouth to show a gentle impression, but only his eyes remained firm.

“…No. I saw with my own two eyes Professor meeting with a woman at a restaurant.”

Da-som lied that she saw it directly with her own eyes, worried that the mother-son relationship might be strained because of her.

“You saw it directly?”

“Yes.”

Just then, with a ding sound, the elevator arrived. Da-som got on the elevator and stood a little apart from Kang Hyeok.

Kang Hyeok leaned diagonally and looked at Da-som.

Pretending not to notice the gaze piercing her profile, she resolutely stared only at the descending number display.

The elevator arrived at the first floor and Da-som got off first. Kang Hyeok followed behind her.

Just then, Eun Hyeok and Han Byeol, who were gathered at the first floor elevator entrance, saw Da-som and shouted with delight.

“Cotton ball, we found you.”

“See, I told you she’d be with hyung?”

Thinking it would be better to be with friends than alone with him, Da-som quickly joined the group.

Kang Hyeok, who was slowly following behind, let out a soft laugh.

His gaze seemed to say ‘go ahead and try as you please.’

“I heard the coffee in the lounge here is famous for being delicious. Should we have coffee before we go? Let’s ask our professor to buy it for us.”

Han Byeol glanced back and poked Da-som’s side.

“I’ll buy coffee next time. Today I have somewhere to go with Da-som.”

Kang Hyeok, apparently having heard Han Byeol’s words, strode over and grabbed Da-som’s arm.

“Haha, yes. I understand.”

Han Byeol stepped back with an awkward smile.

Then Eun Hyeok, who had been quietly reading the situation, gestured and pointed somewhere as if he had something to say to Da-som, without Kang Hyeok noticing.

“Professor, just a moment. I have something to say to Eun Hyeok. I’ll finish talking quickly and come back.”

Kang Hyeok, who had been glaring at Eun Hyeok with disapproving eyes, let go of Da-som’s arm.

Da-som took Eun Hyeok to a spot some distance away.

“What’s going on?”

“Hah, damn. Look at him glaring at me over there.”

Kang Hyeok stood with his arms crossed, silently glaring at the two of them. His gaze was somewhat chilling.

“Just ignore him for now and tell me. What’s the matter?”

“Did you hear that bastard went on a blind date today? Do you know who the woman was?”

“…Who was it?”

“Ah, so you did know. That bastard wouldn’t have told you. Who did you hear it from? Don’t tell me it was our Goh Ah-reum?”

“Yeah.”

“You need to handle this well. That woman is the only daughter of Seonjin Corporation. She was in the lobby until just now, and she’s no joke.”

“No joke? Is she that pretty?”

“Goes without saying. Look at this.”

Eun Hyeok showed her a photo of the woman on his phone. She must be active on social media because her account had an incredible number of followers.

Da-som’s eyes blazed as she examined the woman’s photo. This was practically like a celebrity.

“She’s no joke, right?”

Right, she was no joke. Her looks were on the level of a complete Barbie doll.

No matter how much she dolled herself up and tried, she could never match that kind of appearance.

Even a woman would fall for her.

She let out a deep sigh and was agonizing over how to handle this situation when Kang Hyeok’s voice rang out from above her head.

“What’s no joke? Hm?”

Kang Hyeok, who had approached without making a sound, looked down at the phone in Da-som’s hand.
