CH 48

“What about furniture?”

“Furniture too.”

“It’s still a newlywed house. You should at least get a new bed.”

Jun-Kyung’s mother gently persuaded. Jun-Kyung tried to tell her that the bed was top-notch, so she didn’t need to change it, but then he met her eyes and closed his mouth. It’s because he received powerful telepathy. The bed changes no matter what. Jun-Kyung decided to do what he was told.

The parents continue the topics that he didn’t really care about. The wedding venue seemed to have already been arranged at the hotel. He’s an affiliate of who is close with the chairman. Therefore, despite his busy schedule, he was able to hold the grand banquet hall.

“I wondered if we should make it in a grand way. But the children’s opinions are important.”

“A good marriage should be big. Of course, as you said, we have to talk to the kids too.”

This was Junkyung’s marriage, but it was also his mom’s first marriage for her son. Marriage is just marriage. Jun-Kyung doesn’t care much about order.

However, there seemed to be a huge difference between the two. They emphasized that their opinions are important, but they did not ask Hyun-Seung Min or Jun-kyung about the size of the wedding, even the mother-in-law.

Regardless of the worries Jun-Kyung had in advance, the atmosphere throughout the meeting was always good. As expected, it was decided that the wedding hall, gifts, and ceremonies were prepared at a minimum, and most of the necessary things were taken care of by the chairman’s wife.

A simple commoner with only one building. It’s a great thing for others to hear as that was the goal closer to the common people. However, compared to the wealth and expenditure of the Taewon group, it was nothing.

Even his mother, who was at first a little proud, heard of the multi-billion-dollar watch and a range of jewelery arrangements, she quickly put it down. The only preparations to be made from her side were a new bed and a couple of blankets for Jun-Kyung and Hyun-Seung Min. That alone was at the level of an ordinary preliminary budget.

While mothers check the details, fathers keep drinking. It was fortunate that his father was quite a drinker. When the person who had thought that they would argue with each other actually met the chairman, they were laughing and hugging each other by the time the seats were being arranged. It was fortunate that Jun-Kyung’s father was like his older brother. Only when the older brother is good can the family tree of honor be less twisted.

“Okay, then. See you next week.”

“Yes, hyung.”

When did they make another appointment? It was not heard in detail, but the mothers were also in the mood to meet separately soon. Director Min asked while quietly following the adults in front of them.

“Is this what marriage is supposed to be like?”

When Jun-Kyung asked what he meant, Executive Director Min answered with a slightly tired look.

“I am the one who is getting married, but somehow it doesn’t seem like my job.”

“Me too.”

There is a saying that if the funeral is for the children, the wedding is for the parents. But this is a bit too much.

“I’m glad I was able to live separately.”

“I think so, too.”

Executive Director Min, who was silent for a moment, said something creepy.

“If my mother calls you to come, call me right away. I’m going to stop it.”

“Me too. I don’t think my mother would call Hyun-Seung, but if anything like that happens, please contact me.”

At this moment, he was convinced that no one could understand Hyun-Seung Min’s feelings better than Jun-Kyung himself. Thanks to the parents, Jun-Kyung can form a common facade with Director Min.

Chairman Min Chang-Heon, the eldest and the richest of the participants, gladly paid for it. From the beginning to the end, the two parties simply stayed silent and followed suit. It was quite comfortable.

Jun-Kyung was about to pass the lobby after being guided by the staff as he left the restaurant.

“Hello. Father, mother.”

A fresh, lively, and at the same time, a voice that goes against Jun-Kyung’s nerves flew in.

There are many fathers and mothers here. At the same time, four pairs of eyes looked in one direction. Judging by the unraveling expression, the winner was madam. Even if it wasn’t, the woman who smiled brightly brightened up as if she had seen an angel.

“Oh my, Si-Eun.” The president also turned his head to the high-pitched call of excitement.

“Lee Si-Eun, what are you doing here?”

Again, Si-Eun Lee. Jun-Kyung’s prediction was too good. He smiled bitterly.

“I stopped by here for work, but I can see Hyun-Seung because of it.”

“What do you mean? Hyun-Seung is so tall that you can’t help but see him.”

“It’s nice to see my mother and father thanks to that.”

As she did a while ago, Si-Eun Lee treated Jun-kyung and his parents as invisible people. Apart from the always friendly madam, the chairman’s attitude was surprising. He had quite a bit of liquor and his laughter seemed so sweet for something that naturally came out in a good mood. In addition to calling Executive Director Min’s name informally and calling them as parents, what could the relationship be?

“It’s nice to see you after a long time. Is everything all right? How are you?”

“It always is. How about your mother and father? Is everything well?”

“Yes, thanks to you, I’m doing well. You look really good.”

“Thanks to the chairman.”

The atmosphere became very lively. The meeting at the cafe can be called a coincidence. However, the second meeting is suspicious to just be a coincidence. Did she wait on purpose?

Jun-Kyung glanced at Executive Director Min. He was in mercury mannequin mode, so it was hard to notice the subtle differences. Could it be that they contacted separately during the meeting? Or he may have told her beforehand. I am going to wrap up by now so wait.

“How are you doing these days?”

“I am preparing for the exhibition. Here is a gallery.”

“Do you want to paint again?”

“Yes.”

Madam applauded and was very happy.

“That’s good. Let me know when the exhibition opens. I must see Si-Eun’s drawings.”

“Of course, I will send you an invitation first. Father is coming too, right?”

“If it’s Si-Eun’s exhibition, I should go.”

“I need you to buy my painting.”

“Haha. All right, as much as you want.”

Only after receiving the big promise did Lee Si-Eun cast her eyes on the people standing around.

“Am I not wasting too much time?”

“No, no. If it’s Si-eun, we can spare as much time as she wants. By the way, say hello. They will be our in-laws.”

“Hello.”

Following the chairman’s introductions, Jun-Kyung’s parents greeted her with a smile as a courtesy.

“She is my friend’s daughter. I’ve known her since childhood, so she’s just like a daughter.”

“I see.” Relief can be seen in Jun-Kyung father’s eyes.

“You said you were having a meeting, so how come you didn’t contact me? I was surprised when I saw you in front earlier.”

“It must have been because he’s in a rush to schedule.”

The chairman rarely defends Executive Director Min. Si-Eun Lee pretended to be sulking and complained to Hyun-Seung.

The hotel staff approached and informed that the car was ready.

“Before the traffic jams, we’ll go first.”

Jun-Kyung’s parents wanted to leave first. It was weird to stay on. Naturally, the chairman and his wife moved quickly.

The adults each got into the prepared car. Jun-Kyung’s mother sat in the driver’s seat because his father was drinking. Madam saw his parents off until the very end. “Go with caution.”

“You too.”

Jun-Kyung’s parents’car went out first and the chairman’s huge limousine came in. According to the secretary’s protocol, the president got into the car first, and his wife looked around at Jun-kyung and Director Min.

“What about you guys?”

“I will go with my car.”

“Go home safely. Si-Eun too.”

The car carrying the chairman and his wife drove out of the hotel. In the midst of this, Si-Eun Lee stayed at the side as if she was the party involved. She didn’t seem to want to go.

Executive Director Min asked the hotel staff for a car. It was just after lunch, so they had to wait a bit because there were a lot of cars leaving the hotel.

“I didn’t even hear that you have a girlfriend.”

“I never said girlfriend.”

“What if she’s not a girlfriend? Does that mean she’s a boyfriend?”

Lee Si-eun, who had just laughed, sensed the awkward atmosphere and smiled.

“Maybe this person?”

She widened her eyes as if she just found Jun-Kyung. As she saw his parents off, naturally it was revealed that Jun-Kyung is their son, and the chairman and his wife also looked after Executive director Min and Jun-Kyung.

What did she think of the relationship between them after seeing it? She doesn’t look stupid. Is she doing that on purpose?

“Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?”

Only after receiving a direct request did Executive Director Min react mechanically.

“Say hi, this is Si-Eun Lee, whom I have known since childhood. This is my fiancée, Ho Jun-Kyung.”

“You didn’t say it was a man. I thought she was a woman because you said she was pregnant. Are you a male Omega?”

“He’s in front of you. Mind your words.” Mercury mannequins rarely showed displeasure.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Jun-Kyung Ho.

“Hello, my name is Si-Eun Lee.”

Si-Eun Lee looked at Jun-kyung with very interesting eyes. Looking at the way she speaks, she is the same age as Executive Director Min, but she didn’t look like that at all. Rather, she looked younger than Jun-kyung. Is it the power of management?

“I heard you are pregnant, but it doesn’t show at all.”

“Yeah.”

He doesn’t want to talk about this outside. In fact, people waiting for a car nearby turned to look at Jun-kyung. 

A male omega. I’ve never seen one before. The words that he had been hearing for a long time echoed vividly in his ears. It wasn’t the actual words of the hotel guests, but the memories engraved in his mind.

He felt embarrassed without doing anything wrong. He becomes restless. He hated the curious gazes of others.

“Lee Si-Eun, why are you acting like this?”

A low, cold voice was heard. Executive Director Min moved and soon covered Jun-Kyung naturally. Others don’t know, but at least Lee Si-Eun understood Hyun-Seung Min’s attitude as clearly as Jun-Kyung.

“Me? What am I doing?”

“You are acting like an uneducated person.”
