Chapter 71

It was a pair of mannequins wearing couple pajamas in front of the underwear store.

Suddenly, he remembered how he had emphasized being her boyfriend during his phone call with Yoomin during the day.

He momentarily forgot that Secretary Kwon was beside him and stepped into the store.

As if possessed by something, he purchased many couple pajamas and couple underwear sets.

When he came out of the store and made eye contact with Secretary Kwon, he felt like he had become his college self again – the one who would charge straight toward Yoomin like a madman without regard for anything.

That feeling wasn’t particularly unpleasant.

* * *

The next day.

Yoomin opened her eyes feeling muscle pain throughout her entire body.

After checking the clock on the nightstand, Yoomin let out a deep sigh of exhaustion.

“Don’t even think about fainting today. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this?”

Whenever she made love with Jaejun, her stamina would give out and she would usually faint or fall asleep halfway through, but yesterday he absolutely wouldn’t allow that.

Whenever she tried to fall asleep, he would wake her up by trying positions she’d never experienced before, awakening fresh sensations.

Thanks to that, she only managed to close her eyes at 6 o’clock, and she had only slept for 30 minutes.

Just as she was thinking that physical fitness management was essential before marrying her senior, the bathroom door opened and Jaejun came out.

Even though he must have slept as little as she did, he didn’t look tired at all.

Rather, he looked like he had recovered his energy and was in very good condition.

“Should I drop you off at the hospital on my way to work?”

He asked casually while toweling the moisture from his hair.

“Won’t you be late for work, senior?”

“Yeah. I think I won’t be late if I leave by 7 o’clock.”

“Then I’ll get ready quickly!”

Yoomin hurriedly prepared, wanting to spend even a little more time with him rather than leaving the house alone after sending Jaejun off.

While riding in the car to the hospital, Jaejun asked for understanding and then worked on his tablet PC.

Even so, he held Yoomin’s hand in one hand and wouldn’t let go.

Yoomin looked at their tightly clasped hands and then glanced at Jaejun.

The way he was quietly looking at documents was unmistakably that of a large corporation owner…

“The size fits perfectly. As expected, my hands are more accurate than a measuring tape.”

How does he transform into a beast at night, spouting such lewd words without hesitation?

Surely the driver in front and Secretary Kwon would never know how senior changes every night.

“Oh right.”

While she was lost in thought, Jaejun called to Yoomin.

“Yes?”

“Today is Haneul’s birthday.”

“Oh! Really? I didn’t know because I canceled tutoring this week. What should I do?”

“Maybe stop by briefly during lunch. Haneul will be happy.”

“Ah, I should do that. Thank you for telling me. What does Haneul like?”

“He probably likes Hong Yoomin the most. I think he’d have no regrets if you just went to congratulate him and ate delicious cake together.”

“Oh come on, still…”

Yoomin thought about what Haneul might like in her head.

In the meantime, they arrived at the hospital and Yoomin got out after saying goodbye to Jaejun.

After greeting the Security Manager who had come out to meet her in front of the hospital, Yoomin headed to the hospital room while searching for nearby cake shops on her phone.

Since she hadn’t particularly been celebrated for birthdays since being bought by the paternal grandparents’ house, she sincerely wanted to celebrate Haneul’s birthday, who would similarly be lonely in Korea.

* * *

At that time, Hotel Main Branch Suite.

-The Vice President just dropped off Ms. Hong Yoomin at the hospital and has departed.

“Sigh. I understand for now.”

After receiving the report from her secretary, Jeonghwa held her forehead and hung up the phone.

“I never dreamed such an impudent girl would be clinging to my son’s side.”

A few days ago, on the day Joo Ran and Jaejun had their blind date.

Jaejun had clearly said he didn’t like her, but that evening Joo Ran had contacted her.

It was a call saying she really liked Jaejun and asking her to arrange opportunities for them to get closer.

If Chairman Im Seonghwan’s granddaughter, who seemed infinitely perfect and pretty in her eyes, was going this far, she surely must have shown interest in Jaejun during the blind date as well.

But she couldn’t understand why Jaejun didn’t like her.

Jeonghwa, who had been worrying all night, just in case had Jaejun followed starting that day.

And she obtained the fact that Jaejun was meeting with a woman named ‘Hong Yoomin’ who tutored Seol Haneul in piano.

Yesterday, when she heard that he had shamelessly bulk-purchased couple underwear at a department store, how twisted her insides felt.

Our child isn’t the type to do such things…

Just how did this Hong Yoomin girl manipulate our Jaejun?

And he even drops her off at her destination on his way to work?

She definitely thought this wasn’t an ordinary girl and called her secretary again to investigate all information about Hong Yoomin.

And she called Joo Ran.

-Mother? What brings you to call so early in the morning?

“Oh, Joo Ran. You must be surprised by my morning call? Hoho. It’s nothing special, but what are you doing today? Would you like to have lunch with me?”

-I would love it if you invited me.

“Then would you like to come to our house later? Jaejun’s cousin is staying at our house these days, and it’s that child’s birthday so we decided to have lunch together.”

-Oh my! You’re inviting me to such a family gathering? Then I’ll buy a nice gift and come visit.

The two women hung up the phone laughing “hoho” with each other.

Since it had come to this, she had no choice but to invite Im Joo Ran to the family home and make her frequently encounter Jaejun.

If they saw each other often, they would surely develop feelings.

Moreover, today happened to be Seol Haneul’s birthday, so Grandmother had said she would prepare lunch herself.

She had told all family members to come in for lunch if they had time, but she had declined using writing as an excuse.

But since Jaejun was fond of Haneul, he would surely come today.

She would make them encounter each other naturally like that, while also subtly showing Joo Ran to Grandmother.

Surely Grandmother would also like someone of Chairman Im Seonghwan’s granddaughter’s level.

She hurriedly closed her laptop screen and stood up from her seat.

Seongbuk-dong.

Grandmother, whose energy was completely drained because her body couldn’t keep up like before when preparing a birthday meal at age eighty, sat down in a dining chair for a moment.

Just as she couldn’t treat her son Insoo well because he was a sore finger, she wanted to at least take good care of Haneul.

She tried to get up again but her legs were shaky, so she sat back down.

There were still many side dishes left to make.

Would she even be able to serve the meal on time for lunch?

Regret washed over her for unnecessarily preventing the maids from even coming near the kitchen, but she shook her head.

“If I get tired from something like this, I’m not a grandmother.”

She got up again and focused on finishing the cooking.

After sweating profusely and barely finishing most of the birthday meal by twelve o’clock, Grandmother called her son before calling Haneul.

As soon as her son answered the phone, he apologized saying he was in a meeting and hung up.

Thinking it couldn’t be helped since he was the representative of a group, she called Jaejun.

“Jaejun. Are you coming?”

-I’m sorry, Grandmother. I was planning to come for lunch, but I have a lot of documents to process today. It seems difficult.

Grandmother hid her disappointment and said it was okay.

If she had known this would happen, even if it was a bit difficult, she should have woken up around 2 AM to prepare a morning meal.

Then she could have celebrated Haneul’s birthday with all the family gathered together.

Then her daughter-in-law Jeonghwa called.

“Yes, it’s me. Are you… coming?”

She thought her daughter-in-law, who openly disliked Haneul and deliberately left the house every day using writing as an excuse, obviously wouldn’t come.

So she asked formally, but.

-Yes, Mother. I’m on my way, but traffic is a bit heavy so I’ll be late. Please eat first~ Oh right. Today the granddaughter of Udam Corporation’s chairman, whom I’ve set aside as a match for Jaejun, will also stop by. Please take a look at her, Mother.

Grandmother’s expression immediately darkened.

Look at this senseless fool.

How dare she bring an outsider to my precious grandson’s birthday and try to change the main character?

Grandmother hung up the phone without even responding.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

When she went out to the living room, the butler was opening the door after using the intercom.

“Who came?”

At Grandmother’s question, the butler tilted his head and answered.

“It’s Haneul’s piano tutor. I heard there were no lessons until this week, so did the eldest madam invite her?”

Grandmother’s eyes narrowed.
