    On the day of Seowoo’s discharge from the hospital, Jinwoong called her to Jinmyeongwon. Jinmyeongwon was a traditional Korean restaurant that the Daehan Group family used for important meetings, and Chairman Cha had ordered the entire annex to be emptied for the day.

     

    “It seems the conversation is going to be quite lengthy.”

    The chief secretary in charge of Chairman Cha bowed his head toward Minjun, who was standing stiffly. It was understandable, as he had already made Minjun wait for 30 minutes, making him feel uneasy.

    Unlike the irritated Minjun, the sounds of the old man’s hearty laughter echoed continuously from beyond the paper door of the next room. Along with it, a soft woman’s voice could be heard.

    “No… That’s not it.”

    Minjun snorted after overhearing the conversation. Judging by the fact that they were discussing astrological compatibility, it seemed that things had already progressed considerably.

    Cha Jinwoong, the founder of Daehan Motors, which was the beginning of Daehan Group, had a rhinoceros-like temperament. He had to obtain what he wanted, and he achieved his goals by any means necessary.

    Although he had broken off all the arranged meetings so far for various reasons, he hadn’t thought that he would be able to refuse his grandfather’s order to get married before he turned thirty.

    If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have just picked any random woman and married her. Minjun clicked his tongue in annoyance. It was nothing short of exhausting because of that one damn divination from the shaman.

    Once again, Jinwoong’s refreshing laughter resounded. The woman seemed to be quite good at flattering Jinwoong. Of course, no one but a fool would want to miss the golden opportunity before their eyes. What woman would refuse to become the daughter-in-law of the Daehan Group overnight?

    But things might be different if she knew she was merely a substitute to avert his fate. Because that has always been the case.

    With a bored face, he flicked his fingers back and forth. He wondered how the woman would react if he asked if she was willing to die in his place. Would she look displeased and storm out of the room like other women? If that happened, his grandfather’s expression would be quite a sight to see.

    The woman, who seemed to have more to say, pursed her lips, as if pressured by Jinwoong’s forceful demeanor.

    As the conversation seemed to have wrapped up, Minjun got up from his seat and cleared his throat loudly. He, too, was no longer willing to wait any longer.

    “Come in.”

    At Jinwoong’s permission, the secretary hurriedly opened the paper door. At the same time, the woman, dressed in a yellow outfit like a forsythia, turned her gaze towards Minjun. Unlike her disheveled appearance on the first day, she was quite well-groomed now, but for some reason, she just seemed like a mere high schooler in Minjun’s eyes.

    The thought of entering the wedding hall holding the hand of such a childish woman made his temples throb already.

    This time, she bowed her head in silence to Minjun before silently leaving the room. Minjun, who merely watched her long hair swaying smoothly with indifference, heard Chairman Jin’s voice layered over his thoughts.

    Minjun, who was sitting opposite Jinwoong, responded indifferently.

    “Above all, the Cheonsin Bosal predicted this long ago, didn’t she? Besides, Seowoo’s astrological chart has a whopping four trees in it. It’s an incredible destiny, destiny.”

    Minjun was starting to get angry. He couldn’t understand how an elderly man who used to lead an entire company could be so irrational, even if he was obsessed with shamanistic beliefs.

    “The date?”

    As if he had been waiting for it, Jinwoong took out a notebook and listed several auspicious dates. Moreover, the earliest date was as soon as next month, and at the latest, the wedding had to be held within three months. In other words, the ceremony would be held as quickly as possible, like roasting beans over a lightning strike1.

    At Minjun’s question, Jinwoong raised the corners of his mouth in a sardonic smile. Looking at him in times like this, his grandfather seemed to have a roguish nature.

    From the crack of dawn, Junseo, who was looking for Seowoo, couldn’t finish his sentence and wore a blank expression.

    “That’s right, Noona isn’t here…”

    Only Junseo was in the empty house. It was because both his Noona and Mom hadn’t returned from the church for several days.

    A deep sigh escaped his lips. Even though he was the one who injected the sleeping pill into his sister’s slender arm, the guilt that remained in a corner of his heart weighed heavily on him.

    He had not been religious before, but his symptoms improved surprisingly quickly the moment the Elder prayed for him. The Elder had improved a condition that no renowned doctor could cure with just a few minutes of prayer.

    He was so shocked by the miracle that he had witnessed with his own eyes, and he could only regret that he had not been religious or lived a life of faith. He thought he was really fortunate to have met Elder Daniel now.

    However, there were many others who also wanted to receive the Elder’s prayers, and so Junseo became anxious. He was already afraid that his condition would return to the way it was before if the Elder didn’t pray for him anymore.

    As if reading Junseo’s fear, Daniel smiled kindly and stroked his back.

    Recalling the conversation he had with the Elder, Junseo rummaged through the drawers. He finally found the last remaining packet of ramen and tore open the bag in a hurry.

    Junseo, who was chewing on the ramen noodles without any preparation, looked no different from a wild bird. It was because he couldn’t even cook a packet of ramen by himself without his mother or Noona.
