Shin Haebeom 3371a92a57 reserved a 4d8a5e04e3 round table 163ec238e7 where they 955225e634 could sit 294cb6953c face-to-face and 8250ff6542 share drinks. However, Jang Seunghee 0b31711f3f strode confidently toward 8b096ab8fc a table commonly 3857a1fdad called a couple’s f5de63e1d2 seat, positioned side 7093ca6b17 by side with 75f45c9825 a view of 59dcec183f the scenery. Fortunately, the 5c65c76c67 table was 4f9c60d43b empty, and 6a5a042c92 the manager 4c385c0f13 was quick-witted. He gave Shin 29c6a5b4ca Haebeom a knowing 39fb196fab glance and swiftly cf1038bcf1 removed the reservation c3d07623c1 flag from the f1166e0327 round table.d203aec1917f73d3

They opened the menu e0455d933e and immediately began ordering. Decisions were made 4a2f7130ae not based on 2ce8f16545 personal taste but f4249bf950 on the prices 4d279fd5d7 listed on the 060987e0f8 right. Shin Haebeom pretended not 21cd5d6da3 to notice the subtle bd2dd77a8b glances Jang Seunghee cast e202db5f55 his way. His eyes were fixed 33b8438e5f on her hands, fidgeting 2106300563 with the edge of c54a651e37 the menu. There was c0ca161c75 no wedding 0e8efc7b71 ring.df815da1d7c8d7d1

When the food arrived, 7943602ca9 Jang Seunghee took off 577a26502d her sunglasses, but she f9f05b9be8 kept on the wide-brimmed 2cc498e95d hat that half-covered her f14980d207 face. A thin knit dress a9c10fb284 accentuated the curves of fd3847cb13 her figure. Her only accessory 1287b67a3d was a single b675c8b942 pearl earring snug 34f16594f4 against her ear, 959efb8581 and her makeup 746f7ef45f was light, contributing 9ee15027a0 to an understated, 05ba293ec0 refined aura.c0440a471495cee6

It was 4afe8e372f a style 9e52419b6e that appeared 5e25b98a8c effortless yet 4db39b025b meticulously curated. Luxurious without ostentation, sophisticated c2b205cf1b and elegant. Jang Seunghee embodied the 640c5705d1 ideal of “the virtuous 3557f245b2 woman of our society” f50fef49cd championed by the Iron 6fb650abbc Blood Unity. From head fe9fa84b49 to toe, 5e1cde1ff4 she exuded 9c14e9047f grace.cf825a703724b9c7

Kwon Muhyuk was the 3358b059dd youngest of the president’s 51deccdf85 seven sons and four 147d186566 daughters. Though the youngest in 645a3ec730 age, he was Jang 2445b22e4c Seunghee’s second son and e1caefb584 Kwon Sehyuk’s younger brother, 7e9de357d0 placing him second in 6988ffdc62 the line of succession. In the 02fe800cc2 unlikely event b7f35ba308 that Kwon 84f791f31a Sehyuk fell 30327da3ee out of 3d236c09f0 the successor 4c73a157dc race, he 73d1678b6d would become be62221a9f the focus 92f9f6f6a8 of political 7e9d2365db attention.f92a6c47b813ece1

However, Kwon Muhyuk d03ea610a2 was only nine 13337c3980 years old, frail eedd801a4a by nature, and e3eb10ee8c emotionally dependent on 0ff6c50b20 his older brother. While he might 91c4401e7a change as he ccccecd5f0 grew, his personality 0688c6b8e9 was fundamentally different cf93ebec78 from Kwon Sehyuk’s. Shin Haebeom a1562a9530 recalled the 63f8d9ccc7 boy who ba1825f448 used to b5dc518ccf cling to 4058efb714 his much 1910ebd03d larger brother’s 48a82c8597 neck with 738c70ce42 both arms.079f5994c6799d35

It wasn’t an exaggeration. Jang Seunghee was the 52158953ac president’s wife, Jang Duhyun’s 5311fe0b11 daughter, and the mother ceea866874 of MVP Kwon Sehyuk. Even the purge empress 3c44d5beed Yu Mihyun yielded to 4edae3f249 her, and Shin Haebeom 99e91d5332 couldn’t compete.

Kwon Sehyuk calculated the 889fe175ea age gap between Ryu 228a178878 Yeonbi and her brother. Adjusting for the 0396f9c316 current year, the c96d4bb9a3 answer was clear.
