Confession (3)
“You said you were going to tell your parents?”
I asked again, thinking I might have misheard for a mont.
However, Kang Juyeon’s expression was firm as she nodded her head.
“Yes. Ga-eun will speak first, then , and then Chae-eun after that.”
Moon Ga-eun, Kang Juyeon, and Kim Chae-eun.
The fact that they were going to speak in that order ant, of course, about our romantic relationship.
Although the trend is becoming more open worldwide, simultaneous dating is still not accepted in Korea.
Let alone their parents’ generation, who will certainly not understand it even more.
It takes courage just to reveal the truth.
“This suddenly?”
But I didn’t expect it to happen right now.
I didn’t even know it was a decision announced in this form.
“…It’s not sudden. I’ve been worried about it for a long ti.”
“For a long ti ans…”
“Since rumors about you started appearing often with Ga-eun or .”
“Ah.”
It was then that I understood what she ant.
Recently, as I gained fa and took major steps as a Holder, articles with rumors about and my girlfriends have increased considerably. (Although they’re not really rumors.)
The subjects were mainly the famous figures Kang Ju-yeon and Moon Ga-eun.
Kang Juyeon is originally the daughter of the clan master of .
As the clan’s only heir, it goes without saying…
Moon Ga-eun is also the princess of who has no suitable heir.
Both are treated as key figures within the clan and from an outside perspective.
Since I often spend ti with them and handle important matters together… It was inevitable that rumors would arise.
What’s more, my other girlfriend Kim Chae-eun’s popularity has skyrocketed through this as well.
For now, they can be brushed off as friends or colleagues, but we couldn’t ignore it forever.
“It seed better for us to tell them directly rather than them finding out through articles later.”
In that sense, my girlfriends’ choice was reasonable.
It’s a truth that will co out eventually, and in that case, it’s cleaner for their parents to find out first and act accordingly before us.
After all, they are our seniors in life’s affairs.
“But at least let know.”
It was just a bit disappointing that they decided without consulting .
But I agreed with the content itself.
“Sorry. You seed so busy lately…”
Kang Juyeon apologized as she pulled into an embrace.
And a light kiss on the lips.
At her clumsy yet enthusiastic gesture…
I felt the resentnt in my heart lt away like snow.
‘This is cheating.’
I find myself smiling inadvertently.
Kang Juyeon’s signature clueless expression and actions to cheer up.
Seeing that adorable side of her…
There was no way I could stay upset.
“It’s okay.”
So I placed my hand on her head and said.
Kang Juyeon’s eyes widened slightly.
“…Really?”
“Yes. You were right that I’ve been really busy lately, and I was planning on telling them too. I’m sorry I didn’t get to it first.”
Telling their parents the truth about our relationships.
This was sothing I had in mind since I started dating them.
It’s just that I kept putting it off as I dealt with major incidents one after another.
So in a way, I was grateful that my girlfriends thought about it first and brought it up.
Just as I was steeling my mind like this,
Kang Juyeon, embraced in my arms…
Suddenly dropped a quiet bomb.
“Then shall we go see them tomorrow?”
“Huh?”
I dumbly repeated after her.
For a mont, I didn’t understand.
But the spilled water couldn’t be undone.
Words I never expected ca ringing in my ears.
“Actually, when Ga-eun spoke up, I told them too. Then Father said he wants to see you once…”
Saying this, Kang Juyeon lowered her gaze.
Along with her gaze,
My head drooped down at the sa ti.
Her apologetic manner and unfinished words.
It was then that I realized for certain.
‘Fuck.’
It was ti to persuade the ultimate daughter-con, Kang Woo-hyun,
soone who seed absolutely unpersuadable.

“What a disappointnt.”
A heavy voice descends, filling the room.
It was not Kang Woo-hyun’s voice.
He was standing on the other side of the room with his arms crossed, looking at .
A familiar face and sharp expression.
Muscle about to burst and a tall stature.
A large bow placed in one corner of the room…
It was the voice of Moon Jong-hyuk, Ga-eun’s father.
After hearing the sa news,
The two were eting in the sa place.
“I’m sorry.”
I bowed my head and apologized to him.
In fact, I had nothing to say to Moon Jong-hyuk.
Now, I was really dating them, but before, saying I was dating Ga-eun was a lie.
All the conversations we had while drinking together must have felt like lies, so the betrayal he must have felt was even greater.
“You had the nerve to lie to . Bold indeed.”
“Dad! I asked him to do that!”
Moon Ga-eun, who was next to , shouted with an aggrieved expression.
She was there with because she couldn’t leave alone.
But Moon Jong-hyuk was firm.
“Ga-eun, you go out.”
“Dad!”
“Hey.”
No matter how much he usually listened to her words, Moon Jong-hyuk kicked her out coldly right now.
And the sa went for Kang Woo-hyun next to her.
“Juyeon, you go out too.”
“…But I didn’t say anything.”
Her small defiance was aningless.
And so the worried lovers standing there all left, and in the end only the fathers and I remained in the room.
It was a three-way confrontation.
Swallowing my tension, I t their eyes.
‘…I can’t read their thoughts.’
The eyes of Moon Jong-hyuk and Kang Woo-hyun were deep and dark.
I couldn’t tell what they were thinking from their gaze alone.
They were the Holders at the very top of the nation’s top clans.
It seed they didn’t easily get to those positions, as they showed even firr appearances in situations like this.
“So, you’ve been dating our daughters at the sa ti?”
Kang Woo-hyun opened his mouth with a stern face.
It was ti to seriously discuss what had been kept hidden.
Though he ca on a bit too strong from the start, which caught off guard slightly, there was nothing more to hide now, so I answered honestly.
“Yes. To be precise, there is one more friend nad Kim Chae-eun.”
“Hah, quite brazen.”
“I thought I should tell you everything now.”
I paused to catch my breath and continued speaking.
“I regret not telling Holder Kang Woo-hyun in advance, and lying to Holder Moon Jong-hyuk. It took ti to confirm our feelings for each other, and afterwards I was too busy, so telling you was delayed.”
I looked up at the two fathers.
At this mont, honesty was the only weapon I could use.
“But there was never any lie in my love for Juyeon and Ga-eun. I didn’t love one less than the other, and gave my heart equally to both of them. And I really wanted to tell you both that it would never change. It’s the truth.”
“…..”
“…..”
Silence swirled in the room.
The weight of my candid confession of true feelings was by no ans light, so the fathers seed lost in thought for a mont too.
And then.
“Those words…”
It was Kang Woo-hyun who first broke the silence.
“Do they an you plan to marry our daughters?”
The content was quite bold.
But there was no hesitation in my answer.
“Yes.”
“…What did you say?”
Kang Woo-hyun was the one who seed flustered by my sharp response.
In contrast, my expression was calm.
My love for them would never change.
These were not words I had uttered lightly.
They were the answer I had long thought about and agonized over fiercely.
“If you two give permission, I would like to marry both of you. There will certainly be more than a few problems ahead… But I will solve them. Please trust .”
Kang Woo-hyun and Moon Jong-hyuk.
and .
Just hearing their nas makes one tense up. How can I possibly convince these people?
After hearing the news from Juyeon yesterday,
It was a problem I had been agonizing over, nearly staying up all night.
I racked my brain and scribbled until the paper was almost torn.
‘There was no answer.’
But in the end, there was no correct answer.
There were no words or sentences that could beguile the veterans who had been rolling in the Holder world for decades.
The only way was a frontal assault.
My sincere, honest story.
Believe in and give your daughters.
Other than telling that simple story…
No appropriate thod ca to mind.
And perhaps that was…
The best option for this topic without a correct answer.
“Ha, hahaha!”
“What did I tell you? Isn’t this just like Do Jae-hyun?”
“Yeah, Moon Jong-hyuk. You’re right sotis. I completely lost. Haha.”
The atmosphere in the room instantly cleared up.
Bursts of laughter and scattered applause could be heard.
‘…What’s going on suddenly?’
I looked at them with a puzzled expression at the abrupt change.
I had been honest in my frontal assault approach…
But I didn’t expect the result to be this good.
No, how could the heavy atmosphere change so quickly in an instant?
However, the gazes of Kang Woo-hyun and Moon Jong-hyuk looking at were only warm.
“We’ve already given permission.”
“…Huh?”
“From the mont Ga-eun and Juyeon told us last night, Woo-hyun and I had already discussed it. As you said, there are many problems, but we’ve decided to give our permission anyway. What can we do? Our one and only daughters love and want you so much. We haven’t discussed it with Professor Kim Myeong-hyun yet, but he probably won’t be able to refuse his daughter in the end either.”
Kang Woo-hyun explained the whole story in a gentle tone.
It was sothing I never expected.
I knew the two of them were friends, but I didn’t think they would keep it a secret from their daughters and discuss my relationship with them.
I also didn’t expect the result to be so positive.
“However, I was just curious about your sincerity. You nicely t our expectations and conveyed that sincerity in a simple way.”
“But Mr. Kang Woo-hyun…”
“Oh co on. Why so formal with Mr. Kang Woo-hyun? Just call father-in-law from now on. Hahaha.”
Laughter broke out and the two n embraced my shoulders.
Although they were speaking rather lightly, their ‘permission’ implied quite a lot.
Kang Juyeon, the only heir of .
Moon Ga-eun, treated as the de facto heir of .
The fact that the three of us were eting with marriage in mind was not just a personal matter, but could also be tied to clan affairs.
Yet Kang Woo-hyun and Moon Jong-hyuk did not ntion that at all, readily giving permission for our relationship.
That ant…
They were also prepared to solve the problems that would lie ahead of us.
“So, which one of them did you date first?”
“Oh co on, why ask? He’s been dating my Ga-eun for a long ti anyway!”
“That was a fake relationship!”
“It’s real now, so it doesn’t matter!”
But the very people who had made such a montous decision
Were rely throwing childishly silly questions at …
While enthusiastically bickering with each other.
