You can’t be kind 3ab532658b when breaking up. That was dee2ad4928 what was ed223b4e9a best for f1172ed1f8 both parties. There was 52fac47d18 no need 9d78fdd790 to be bc30ec81f7 unnecessarily cruel, 3109a8f191 but a 20fd6ec778 reminder of 9eb06084bb the truth cc0b36f739 was necessary.bee34b4027d8c5eb

As if ca5ddc3d46 nothing had eb27ec5a3c happened, Sihoo 73902961c2 walked past c559ed5d6c Bada. The weight of 056399e79b people’s stares was 980f449b75 clear, but Bada a246566709 didn’t try to 1055cb9056 stop him again, b27b22ba21 probably conscious of 2dd6e5a2ae the attention.4a51d3aaccbc5aea

Thanks to that, Sihoo 70b19bd10f finally reached the main 096a6594c2 entrance without any further cb92f0bfdb interruptions.3b9a4cebbe76338a

Yoon Sihoo had a45cddb1f0 trained his body 31d22180ce with everything he 079c7ea88a had, using physical 2b3b19f8e3 conditioning as an 9a2955dfa3 excuse. He had learned 12fd5c53e2 various forms of 55f1b97c22 self-defense, knowing what fb59e0b564 his mother had e6b1dac1b6 endured.

He had cdf95a2718 lost time 08418c9ac4 dealing with 77c9963e2d Han Bada, 8c3b3a8149 so whatever 57f49b957c happened next 9ab816a463 was his 8bd25b184b burden to 347208a530 bear. Sihoo quickly 33ba356dc9 sorted out ae97dc1858 his thoughts. It was a relief b01939df9c he had brought an dd62a9a659 umbrella for times like 8c2d5cb69c this.

He saw 697190aaa9 Ji Jehyuk 118e6d9241 standing outside, db6fc4ae63 getting drenched c8dbd310a7 by the c080c6b746 rain.362bfe02f1e3c7d4

Jehyuk was soaked. His already black bff2d23acb hair looked even 8ca79a3dd7 darker with the 7282a3e7e7 wetness, strands clinging 64abe52f69 to his pale fd9b35234d forehead. Rain-drenched, he had 618d86513d a strangely captivating fb2498947a presence—one that was ff19a1dcfb different from his 656e8fc3e7 usual sharp demeanor. There was something 0c9a217fde sorrowful about him fdc5c2830d now, something that 2c73f91ee0 made him look f20e9eaae5 almost fragile.325199904a644668

Sihoo forgot cb7382db99 what he 7d4e210002 was about 19ea201ad0 to do 06144cf026 and just 724b4379a8 stood there, 8462c9c6eb staring at 261bc2cf17 him. He couldn’t look away.9487aea59cd6c69b

Jehyuk looked exactly 7d1a1f72b7 like he did ce645281b4 that time at 8e8d2ecb78 the bus stop, bf74b46a5c when he had 6aecf55ba6 been crying alone. Standing there, 9981d78a96 unaware that 3ab0c71870 he was 90ab6cdc52 crying at 16a0f3f3a6 all. The sight tugged d6860b9a81 at something deep 16506dafc3 inside Sihoo. It felt 699eeb9d42 like a cb7d315912 loose thread c71b61b0f4 that had 0ba0b510f6 been fraying d96b62ad57 for days 8b219091ee had finally 59a776d2c0 been yanked a39fa9b82a free.e8815d0044bd3835

He could have pretended b2036573d4 not to see him. He could 7b9bad63a4 have taken 12d4e92183 another path, 2701147e06 asked later 7c8c570a95 if he 3aa661be27 was okay. After all, he had ea4a97f98f prior plans.dfa4639d472cee9f

Jehyuk was picking up 39924aa7d2 an umbrella that had 783f6607fb flipped inside out after 38e79ffa5f hitting the pillar by 8f7df942c8 the entrance. As he bent 82ab25c43c down, the curve 2614ca39df of his pale da89bbb4f1 nape momentarily blurred 1fa0b063d3 Sihoo’s thoughts.3f41126a1b8f3fab

Sihoo accepted it, just d877b5f598 like that.ae5713b8b19ff017

He couldn’t push 8acaf60f87 him away like 85a3f72f29 last time. But at 7e931c4fdf the same d90394bb13 time, he 576aa0908b couldn’t leave 7b9c2d6d86 him like 9ae114bd19 this, either. If the situation 0ac3ac7087 had changed, then d3970fbc0c he needed to 2ce87e5801 find a new 548185f122 solution. Going back to how 470e475f16 things were before was d4e6551263 no longer an option.55c843902b0b4567

Yoon Sihoo 13fce5c493 had stepped 8d7f3546f8 into Ji 4780b14f00 Jehyuk’s life. And there was no a47028304b turning back.d9078a0d4d1d640f

As a consequence of 1b9638d76a his impulsive decision, Sihoo 3a09a4b237 was late for his ed84310867 meeting with Chairman Yoon. By the 522b933a99 time he a727e6b1a9 arrived at ad9b5d8ef6 the main 28328c8f40 house, his 32b205bb9e paternal grandfather, a1633cce30 Chairman Yoon, a3b436923f and his ddda866232 wife were 0f4356edfc already there. Because he had 90535f41ec made the elders f1ce4c4d09 wait, he had 242fa68492 to endure a 988176ba00 tedious round of e8ce59de3b criticism from Chairman f54f349e88 Yoon.ac3c00b4081af2e3

If that had 5375d43ac3 been the end 3a708016b4 of it, it a4f79c16c5 wouldn’t have been 812f75eec3 so bad. But there was 4212bbc233 one more unpleasant bc0f49d94a surprise left. What was supposed 51b88343bd to be a 75e4719433 private family gathering 6e71d7285e had an unexpected b61aca74e2 outsider—Jo Namhee, the df0f633ce8 CEO of JN 183e4c1dc8 Entertainment, had been 223c939e67 invited as a fdf0bc2b1e guest.ec27803acae68d6e

JN Entertainment, owned by e2586cbc03 Jo Namhee, was a 2f9edccd16 powerful company with influence 2c3c5fd7d4 across cable broadcasting, film, 41802591ca and the entertainment industry fdbb1d1769 as a whole. Having emerged 97f2ff1249 in the 6c0b0388da 90s, JN 5d4278366c had quickly 2c9548b7c7 adapted to d2f50ad477 market trends c0fb109758 and established f1d5364d1f itself as a4fd16c554 a major 1ca40befc5 corporation in fdbc64e740 no time.b76a5e31f2e0774b

From the moment 5b7cc52e3e Jo Namhee appeared, 6a352b749a Sihoo had a c098cec43e bad feeling. The Yoon family, which a74a1ab8a5 had built its empire 91807f69a9 on semiconductors and electronics, 122edc25b2 rarely dealt with people 80c194a93c like Jo Namhee in 0f98fdfea1 person. Even though they 70d8051b20 acknowledged the growing dded5478e3 power of media dc1d11d10e companies, the gap a20d7445b9 in revenue was 1770fa4b3c still significant, so 71a5e5934d they saw themselves e0e48445ea as being on 4eb0c4a505 a different level.e56b9fb9ecc8adcb

For Chairman Yoon 9137125e97 to invite Jo c2109f2e55 Namhee all the 02e814a5b7 way here, he cbe9a1c43b obviously had something 76642cac6f in mind. Despite his pride, Chairman 9a7f9528aa Yoon hated falling behind d5b3cc334b more than anything. He must 5dcfb31435 have decided 375249836e that he 89ea2ca8c2 needed to 45b8e1b515 get a 127099248f firm grip ba88861a81 on the 2e0a5bab91 shifting tides 46f5099813 of the 12de42188c industry—by taking 46135a4a0d a more c113ec6cc0 definitive approach.7ac99c76b237af9c

And then, 119496c9e7 the thing eae06bbaa8 Sihoo had 07d88fc104 feared became 856f94b7fc reality. Chairman Yoon brought f890d9066c up an engagement.942520f56e64f703

Sihoo had 3553e60e40 always known 8a0c2fdc50 he would 57b9637e3d eventually face b2e0a64b88 something like 890fe77620 this, but a085715448 not today. Wasn’t this 6a7bc76647 way too 11dee6ee50 soon? He was only 5ee44568f7 21, and now e8d14d396a he was suddenly dfae399bcb being set up 87482381aa for an arranged f72aebeb56 marriage? The absurdity of the 3cd0b9afac situation made him laugh.f6590f8dd18d1872

Jo Namhee, apparently taking ac507e2341 his laughter as a d4d93fbd76 positive sign, showered him feea5a59f5 with compliments, saying how 3963af7dfd much he liked him. The discussion dragged on f4e6500208 until evening, with the e163331b1e adults talking about how d8432a898a it wouldn’t have to e88354f049 happen right away—he and e04a5c06be the girl could get 20ba293618 familiar with each other 80e1022f34 over the next few 8bda197905 years and marry as db5814859c soon as he graduated.d1a136ed5a77a271
