Episode 38
‘No, you’re saying there’s a reason for to care. Never mind. anyway… ‘It’s soone I won’t see for even a year at most.’
It was sothing I said to comfort myself, but sohow I felt a little bitter. I decided not to have any regrets. As Seunghyeon thought that, he turned around and glanced at Jaeyoung, who was doing sothing.
‘I’m just treating it no different. It’s not that difficult. As if nothing had happened. Just like I did when we first t.’
If you get swayed, you lose. Seunghyeon got up from his seat and approached Jaeyoung. What does it matter if you don’t mind whether you make fun of him or not?
“It’s almost done.”
“It’s boring to sit still. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Is it a bit strange for a landlord to ask this? Seunghyeon thought for a mont and then stopped. Excessively ruminating on each and every action was probably the biggest reason why I felt sour.
Jaeyoung said he was a little concerned about searching through other people’s houses, so he asked if he could take out the dishes.
Soon, dishes began to be placed on the table one by one. Jaeyoung confidently presented the result, complete with plating that you would see at a high-end restaurant, and glanced at Seunghyeon as if to tell him to try it.
Seunghyun popped the rolled up spaghetti into his mouth. It was as delicious as it looked. The look, the sll, the taste. It was so good that I didn’t even think I needed to go to the restaurant.
“how is it?”
“… “It’s delicious.”
“Don’t you think there will be no need to go out and eat again from now on?”
Seunghyeon took his eyes off his food and looked at Jaeyoung. His eyes were full of interest.
“Why in the future? “Your aunt will be coming out tomorrow.”
Of course, Seung-hyeon’s tone of confidence that he would be in the future was a little funny, so he laughed and Jae-young laughed.
“I think you like it.”
Although Seunghyeon thought that he was talking about food, he felt sad because Jaeyoung’s question seed to have a different aning.
“… It’s not bad. surely.”
Seunghyeon gave an ambiguous answer and started rolling the noodles with a fork again. There was clearly a plate in front of him, but Jaeyoung was not paying much attention to the food and was looking at Seunghyeon.
If you care, you will lose. If you care, you lose. Seunghyeon thought so and moved his hand steadfastly. How long had passed? Jaeyoung’s hand began to move slowly.
Although it was so slow that it was hard to tell whether he was eating or not, Seunghyun continued eating, feeling fortunate that everyone was looking away from him for a mont.
“I guess I’m quite free.”
“Once again. “Are you saying that now?”
“As ti goes by, it becos more real. “I’m also jealous.”
“What is there to be jealous of? “Isn’t Han Seung-hyun spending every day like everyone’s wannabe these days?”
“… … .”
On the outside, it seems that way. There is a lot of money to spend, and ti is limited. When Seunghyeon did not answer, Jaeyoung continued speaking.
“Well, isn’t this a place like that? When you enter the competition, you have to run endlessly, high risk, high return… “But in fact, as you can see just by looking at forr director Han, it is a place where you can live a much more stable life than most people, regardless of whether you leave or are kicked out.”
“… … .”
“Of course, I am the luckiest one out of all of them.”
“We are ready to receive business without a fight.”
“haha.”
“I definitely don’t have a fiancé… .”
Seunghyun, who had been carrying on a aningless conversation, suddenly closed his mouth. There was no need for that, but because I knew sothing, it actually felt like my feet were numb.
“why. It’s common for both of us to not have a fiancé at this age… ah.”
The chaebol family in this novel had a setting that was not much different from the world of chaebols we usually think of.
In particular, marriage is a kind of contract and transaction. Getting engaged or married at a young age was depicted as a common occurrence. However, despite that, most of the main characters in the novel got engaged or got married late in life.
Did you think that Joo Jo-yeon’s age being too young would not fit the mood of the novel? She had that thought once while reading.
Well, I didn’t really pay much attention to it since I didn’t really need to know the author’s intention, but in any case, each of the main characters had their own story about missing the right age for marriage.
First, in the case of Tae-seong, the main public figure, the problem was that he did not find a marriage partner that caught Chairman Han’s attention because it was public knowledge that he was an illegitimate son.
Chairman Han was a utilitarian to his core. He waited for the right mont, thinking that soday, no matter how unfortunate, soone would reach out to him.
In the case of Seonhu, the main beast, it was the opposite. Although he was very enthusiastic, he was the youngest oga and loved by the family.
My parents’ theory was that they would rather have marry for love or live alone than let marry into a random family. In the end, we ended up having an arranged marriage.
Jaeyoung had hoped that the seat next to Seonhu would be his, and he believed that it would happen soday, so he persevered, rejecting all marriage talks that ca his way.
‘If it had been Han Jae-young, it wouldn’t have been possible. With that personality… ‘I would have been fired from the family register a long ti ago.’
Well, it may be a better life than living in a poor ho with a very temperantal family, but it is better to grow up in a harmonious and wealthy family.
Seunghyun, after thinking about sothing useless for a mont, continued to look back on the contents of the original work. The main couple and Jaeyoung were like that, and the reason why he, that is, ‘Han Seunghyun’, didn’t get married even when he was approaching 30… .
“You brought up sothing pointless.”
“no. It’s all in the past anyway. “It also happened several years ago.”
In fact, there was no need for an apology as there was no harm to Seunghyeon at the mont, but Jaeyoung apologized as if he had made a mistake.
The reason why Han Seung-hyun did not get married. Although the Passionate Alpha is not a very good deal in the marriage market, he is a man with a background that more than makes up for his characteristics.
In any case, he was an alpha, a young man who was definitely guaranteed a position as director of the group. Unlike Tae-seong, both his father and mother were descendants of powerful families, and even if he were to be pushed out of the succession competition, Chairman Han had only two alpha grandchildren, so he would at least inherit a stable position.
If you can build that kind of connection with HJ, being a passionate alpha isn’t a huge flaw that makes you reluctant to marry her. That’s why Han Seung-hyun also got engaged as soon as he graduated from college.
“Even if you’re fiancé… “I’ve only had a few conversations with you, so it’s like I’m a stranger who only knows your face and na.”
However, the engagent did not last long for so reason. Being a passionate alpha wasn’t a big flaw, but having the experience of breaking off an engagent with a passionate alpha once lowered Seunghyeon’s level in the marriage market.
‘The reason may be that my pride was hurt.’
“There is no need to dwell on the past.”
Seunghyeon briefly dismissed the situation and went on to eat. As the atmosphere seed to have cald down a bit, I glanced at Jaeyoung. It felt a bit strange to see soone who was always so relaxed being embarrassed.
“It’s not a good thing to hold on to it for too long.”
I didn’t like the awkward atmosphere, and since it was a story I didn’t know much about, I didn’t want to continue it for too long. Seunghyun started to blurt out his words randomly to end this story.
“I didn’t do it because I wanted to anyway, and if it had gone well, I wouldn’t have been as free as I am now. Moving around as you please and living alone must be difficult for a married person. For example… .”
“For example?”
“I would never have had the chance to spend ti leisurely with Joo Jae-young like I do now. No, a married person can’t go to a place like that in the first place, so we wouldn’t have ever t.”
When I thought about it that way, it seed like a good thing. To live comfortably, being alone is the best.
“Well, that kind of suits Han Seung-hyun.”
“What?”
“Of course, it is not desirable for soone with a spouse to go to such a place, but… “There are many people who don’t care about that.”
Seunghyun frowned slightly after learning sothing he didn’t really want to know. Jaeyoung, who didn’t know how he understood the aning of the distortion, hurriedly added a word.
“Of course, I’m not saying I’m that kind of person.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
It was a stupid thing to say, but thanks to that, the awkward atmosphere returned to its original state. Seunghyun laughed and said.
“Actually, as I said last ti, I don’t really rember that day, so I don’t know if I should count it as a fact.”
Going to a gay bar on a whim was the most courageous thing I did since becoming Han Seung-hyun, but because I didn’t think about my body’s changed drinking capacity and health, I couldn’t rember much of it.
“How much do you rember?”
Is it because of my mood that it seems sohow annoying? Seunghyun looked down at his almost empty plate for a mont and then opened his mouth.
