Chapter 65 - Kim Daehyun: A Postponed Decision

He immediately fell silent with his mouth slightly open. His face lost its color and all the anger seemed to gather in his eyes at once. He shouted as if venting all the anger inside him in one loud beat at his voice.

"Fuck you, Kim Daehyun! Goddamn you! I'll kill you!" He struggled, about to escape. "Fuck! Get off me! I want to kill him right now — I'll kill you Kim Daehyun! I swear! How dare you touch him, you bastard! How dare you—"

"St!" I put my index finger to my lips, showing a 'quiet' gesture. "Can you not scream, please? You're too old to scream like a kid."

Finishing my words, he stopped moving and relaxed his body. He lowered his head then lifted his chin again carefully. The anger on his face gradually disappeared, turning into sadness in his eyes. He smiled, showing no sarcasm but a kind of despair. He said with a low voice, "Daehyun, I beg of you. Tell me, where is Chunghee now? If you tell me, then I will never bring this up again. I promise. You can hold onto it and kill me if I do deny it."

I showed a smile of hostility without mercy. Even if I knew where Chunghee was, I would never tell him. Chunghee left not without a reason, I knew it quite clearly.

Chunghee deserved freedom and Donghwa didn't deserve to know where a bird would fly to the East.

Without the slightest sense of concern, I immediately walked out of this room and didn't give any response. The big man, who was holding Donghwa's arms behind him, remained in this place for a while, preventing him from following me.

Walking to the main door, the first thing that occurred to me was to find Chunghee, no matter what. This was a decision and the most important thing right now. I would never let that bastard find him first.

However, besides that, there was something that worried me even more, was regarding the falsehood I just said.

Saying that I screwed with Chunghee was the craziest thing I had ever said in my entire life. It's embarrassing, it's really embarrassing. Just by remembering it was like making me lose face.

What if Chunghee finds out the falsehood I have spoken of? Will he be angry? Will he hate me even more?

Sure, the question had a definite answer — 'yes'. However, I just tried and kept pushing my head into thinking that answer would be unheard of, and thought the stupid thing I just did was fine.

Chunghee, I'm sorry.

The shock and anger in that room made my head unable to think of anything better after knowing that Chunghee wasn't with him again — Chunghee left him. But, strangely, it didn't make me feel sad but rather felt a clear delighted in my chest. That meant I had a chance to prove how much I loved him.

After being downstairs, I headed for the car and immediately returned to the company to think of a way to find Chunghee's current whereabouts.

As I walked in and about to enter the private elevator, A Yeong suddenly exclaimed from a distance and headed towards me in a hurry.

"Mr. Kim, Mr. Kim!"

I immediately stopped, waiting for her. As she was near me, she caught her breath and said, "The master ... your father is in your office now."

"What?!" In a suppressed voice, I almost shouted, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! You should have confirmed this to me first!"

A Yeong frowned, and said irritably, "I've called you several times, sir, but you never answered my calls."

Hearing her words, I was silent. I just remembered that I was muting my cell phone. I sighed, trying to relax. "Then, why don't you call ..."

By only those few words, I stopped and chose not to continue my sentence.

"He's been looking for you since a few minutes ago. He said he had called you several times, but you never answered a call from him," A Yeong explained.

Hearing about this, I asked, "What about the contract?"

"I was just about to take care of it, sir." A Yeong leaned slightly towards me, "Sir, you have to see him now. He looks bad today."

Without thinking any longer, I immediately entered the elevator followed by A Yeong, and pressed the floor of my office.

Upstairs, I immediately went to my office and entered without knocking on the door first. In here, Kim Myungdae was seen sitting behind my desk. When he heard the door open, he immediately turned his chair and looked at me without a smile. Then, he stood up and approached me. Beside me, A Yeong shifted his body, hiding slightly, and whispered to me, "Sir, I'm sorry. I want to take the contract sheet on your desk, but I'm afraid ... "

Hearing about this, I turned to look at her, frowned tightly before stepping forward to take out the contract sheet and give it to her.

When A Yeong received it, she looked at me and Kim Myungdae in turns nervously. She bowed and spoke before leaving this room. "Um, I have to go right away, sir. I have a lot of work to take care of now."

Even A Yeong, the innocent woman, knew how tense the atmosphere was between us and left immediately.

A few seconds after A Yeong left, Kim Myungdae began to speak indifferently, "Where have you been? Was it so important that you moved your meeting today?"

"Yes, and now I'm still busy. I still have many things to finish." Although I was surprised when I heard that question, I continued to try to be calm as usual.

"You are an idiot. You really are." He sighed heavily, then continued, "One of the investors canceled the contract because of your carelessness to cancel the meeting today. He just complained to me about this. Have you never thought that your father did everything in his power to attract those people to join us?"

I was silent and wanted to be captive. That sounded ridiculous.

What about you? Did you ever think that your son should leave all his pleasures from the past just to become a slave in his own family?

Not getting any response, he let out a heavy sigh again.

At the desk, he tapped his fingers. He looked at me for a moment before he asked seriously, "Where have you been?"

Glancing at him, I replied indifferently, "None of your business."

"Insolent. Where have you been?" he asked again firmly.

I was silent.

"Did you just meet Lee?"

Hearing that question, I suddenly gasped in surprise. I looked at him without words.

He laughed. "Heh, as I thought. I know you borrowed my men because you wanted to meet Lee." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Did something happen between you two?"

Feeling cornered, I sighed heavily, then replied, "Yes, but I can take care of it."

Kim Myungdae grinned coldly. "Good."

Previously, I wanted to ask him to cancel the contract with the GIM agency. The words were already on the tip of my tongue but it was swallowed up immediately when I saw his face in clear seriousness. Asking that would be like inviting a rattlesnake to bite your hand. It's stupid, pointless.

He spoke again. But this time, his voice was heard soft as a father talked to his son normally, "Okay, this time I forgive you. and forget about your business with Lee. Actually, I didn't come here to say that. I just wanted to ask you to go to Gwangju right now. Your uncle ... look for you. He wants to meet you. I've booked a plane ticket for you. Now, you must hurry to the airport."

"Looking for me?" I frowned tightly at him and asked in surprise, "Why is he looking for me? Unusual ... Why do I have to go to his place? If there is something important he has to tell, then why doesn't he call me right away?"

"Go now. Whatever your decision later, I'll try to accept it." Paused for a moment, he continued, "But, I hope, you'll think about me and your future too."

"What do you mean?"

"Just go meet your uncle if you want to know."

After saying that, the expression on his face suddenly turned cold. No smiles and friendliness.

However, he didn't look angry at all, only that cold expression showed fortitude and also a sense of pity. He then left without saying a word.

I was stunned. All my feelings as if stirring evenly in the same place. Sluggish, I headed for my desk and sat for a while thinking that my decision to find Chunghee today should be postponed.

Finding Chunghee was an important thing, but my father's order was absolute. Refusing it could get me into big trouble, that I wouldn't be able to get a chance to seek it out in the future. So, to avoid that worse thing, obeying him was a way that must be chosen.

In this restlessness, I continued to take deep breaths trying to maintain my composure and thought things through carefully and with common sense.
