Chapter 139 – Episode 139

I couldn’t even remember what the Intimidation skill was or what exactly Intimidation meant. I just used it because I thought it would be a good skill to look strong. I guess I chose the right answer.

When the cow sees this, it backs away and catches the mouse.

… Did you say?

“Ha, you bastard. Still, he’s still a man… You know how to make eyes like that, right? Wow, is this body stuck in the corner of the room the one with rotten eyes? “Not my granddaughter?”

I, who was relying on my intimidation skills, just swallowed my saliva when I heard Han Se-ryong’s interesting voice. Even that sight is full of intimidation. In fact, this side was fake, and that side was real.

“That’s not necessarily true, Grandpa. It took me a long time to realize that Hyeonwoo was manly. Moreover, since we lived under the same roof for some reason, I was able to notice it to some extent. If it weren’t for that, I might have reacted the same way as my grandfather. Usually, you can see a little less detachment. However, he is a man who does things clearly.”

Hearing Han Ae-bom’s somewhat excited voice, Han Se-ryong also smiled while playing with his beard in a completely different mood than before. He has a truly happy face.

“Yes, that’s right. There is no way that Han Se-ryong’s eyes have already rotted like that. “In other words, he’s a great bastard who knows how to fool not only me but my granddaughter.”

Han Se-ryong looked me up and down while muttering. A little while ago, I treated you like someone who didn’t exist, and now I feel like I’m meeting you properly. That alone made my cheeks tingle, so I had to put more strength into my eyes to keep it from showing.

“Hehe, look at this guy? “I think it’s at least a bit of encouragement for our baby to say something like that.”

Saying something like that?

At the same time as I was wondering, a voice came out from the side.

“Are you saying I deserve to be indebted to you?”

“Okay. “I need to be able to believe you when you say you are indebted to someone else.”

As the conversation between grandfather and granddaughter went on so smoothly, I nodded. I wondered if Han Ae-bom had said something strange. I guess there really wasn’t anything like that.

‘Phew.’

I breathed a sigh of relief because it felt like the violent storm had passed. Han Se-ryong is like that, and Han Ae-bom is like that. Does everyone in this family feel this way?

As soon as you check your abilities, a person suddenly changes 180 degrees. Although she couldn’t tell Aebom Han, she also understood why her dead brother made such an extreme choice. Living in a family like this would have been suffocating and unbearable.

‘You may be the best at hiring and assigning people to the right people based on their abilities, but it’s truly breathtaking when your family looks at you that way.’

When I compare myself to this family, I think that the looks and pitiful attention I received when I went down to my parents’ house on holidays were from the noble class. I feel pathetic for not reserving a train ticket and avoiding it just because I didn’t want to. Well, everything is relative. What should I do about something I really disliked?

“Sit there.”

“Yes. Hyunwoo, sit over there.”

This is the moment when Han Ae-bom is smiling brightly, holding my hand and leading me to a sofa that looks expensive at first glance.

“Eh, hmm!”

In my life, I have never heard such an artificial and uncomfortable cough in my life. One Aebom didn’t pay any attention to her, and she thought I was the only one turning her head and punching a hole in her face. Han Se-ryong was glaring at me with burning eyes.

‘Fuck, where did I taste this before?’

It wasn’t even that long. Because I felt it from the driver as I was being dragged here.

“The sofa is really nice.”

I took Han Ae-bom’s hand away while randomly looking around, and only then did her stinging gaze return to its original state. What is that human, tsundere?

“You haven’t even sat down, can I understand just by looking at you?”

“Yeah, well… It has to be so luxurious. “It feels clearer now that I’m sitting down, right?”

It feels like shit. I’m still so relaxed that I don’t think I’ll taste anything even if I eat the sweetest chocolate in the world.

“Secretary Jang, if it’s okay, could I ask for a light snack and something to drink?”

“Sure. Miss. “I’ll bring it to you right away.”

Is it a bit surprising that I withdrew my hand, or is it regretful? … Or maybe Han Ae-bom just noticed Han Se-ryong’s violent reaction, I don’t know. Close. It was really quite close.

I understand that you are snuggling right next to me on a sofa that looks like it can seat 4 people… His upper body was almost tilted towards me. When I breathe harshly, her breath touches the back of my neck.

“Bang!”

I’m surprised.

“You’re so close. … “If anyone saw me, they would think I was married.”

Although he was speaking in as polite a voice as possible, the corners of his mouth that were trembling and the hands that were hitting the desk were not polite at all. I was convinced that if I even picked up a golf club in that hand, it would hit me right in the head. It’s not doubt, it’s confidence.

“I guess it’s become a bit of a habit since the four of us are living together in a small studio.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll buy the entire studio building for you, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to live separately from now on. Where are the grown children…”

“No, thanks. I have no intention of getting help from my grandfather in my personal life. There are things that are good the way they are.”

“What… ?”

As I looked at Han Se-ryong, who even had veins growing on his forehead, I prayed that the golf ball hitting my face would hurt less. It’ll be okay, right? Your nose won’t break, right? My stamina is a whopping +8.

“I brought some snacks with the tea.”

Nice timing!

As if I had met an angel in hell, I happily held out my hands and accepted the beautifully filled bowl of sweets.

“Thank you!”

“No, enjoy your meal and relax and talk. “It’s nice to see that the Chairman seems more excited than usual today.”

The hand that was lifting the cookie filled with chocolate chips stopped. Oh my, that’s a shame. Doesn’t this snack make the story longer? If that’s the case, you don’t need these snacks…

「Augh, crispy.」

What? The snack that I thought I had put in my mouth suddenly disappeared. It’s crunchy yet moist, yet sweet, without any greasy or chewy feeling at all… Is this the snack that rich people eat?

“When I see this brat acting like a brat, I still feel like I’m being deceived.”

“It’s because I’m nervous. “Is there anyone living in Korea who wouldn’t feel nervous in front of my grandfather, the chairman of Hanban Group?”

“Hmm.”

Han Se-ryong moans softly and strokes his beard with one hand. I saw. The corner of the mouth is slightly raised behind that hand.

This person, are you happy to be praised by your granddaughter?

“It’s even better when it’s just me and you. “What I saw earlier felt like it was stopping the bleeding.”

「Pajik!」

In an instant, the corners of the mouth lowered, and blood vessels appeared on the backs of the hands. I felt like crying. I was sandwiched between these two humans, going back and forth between heaven and hell.

‘Please stop, Mr. Aebom.’

Today, strangely enough, you keep getting on people’s nerves without notice.

… To say that, her fingers, avoiding Han Se-ryong’s gaze and holding my hand, wiggled in a very seductive and pleasant way. Her smile looks fresher than usual, and her face looks like her stress has completely melted away…

‘This man… You’re doing this knowingly!’

I tried to suppress my agitation. At least it had to be hidden from Han Se-ryong and Han Ae-bom. If I revealed anything like this even a little bit, these people would use that as an excuse to bite me. Oh my god, where am I now?

‘You really are in the jaws of a tiger. It was already in.’

As I was repeating myself for an unknown number of times, Han Se-ryong’s voice caught my ear.

“Not even a pig. Let’s stop talking and get to the point.”

“Gasp!”

When did you start eating snacks like this? While I was distracted for a moment, I ate half of it. Han Ae-bom smiled and wiped my mouth with a wet tissue, covering it with cookie powder.

It seemed like her throat was choking, but she didn’t bother to lift the teacup. If I lift the teacup now, it will be 100% trembling, and if I drop it again, there will be a major accident.

“Hey, tell me what help you need. “I will listen and judge for myself.”

“Yes, I understand.”

I felt like my heart was going to explode. Because she never thought the day would come in her life when she would personally make a presentation in front of the chairman of the Hanban Group. On the other hand, I also think about how much this will help my life.

“… This is the situation. “Can you help me?”

Contrary to what I was worried about, I didn’t tremble as I spoke, and I think I said it well, as only the main points were in an orderly manner. Han Se-ryong’s expression after hearing the story was extremely bored.

“Even if I took my 7-year-old child, she would speak better than you.”

“That’s far-fetched, Grandpa. Although it was a little lacking, considering Hyunwoo’s experience and the amount of education he received, it was excellent.”

“Under! “Who is using force?”

Han Se-ryong looked at me with a shocked expression and opened his mouth.

“No matter the circumstances, helping is not that difficult. All I need to do is call that kid from Ilha Group and have a quick chat.”

“… !”

How could it be so simple that no matter how hard Ohana and I racked our brains, we couldn’t even find a solution? I was about to express my admiration that the world we live in is different, but Han Se-ryong added.

“By the way, I am Han Se-ryong. In my entire life, I have never once helped anyone without compensation. Do you know what that means?”

“Well, you only helped me…” …”

I was a bit late as I was reflexively trying to answer urgently, but I was able to recall the memory of being thorough in the negotiations with Han Ae-bom before coming here. It was said that just because it is a strictly B-side stance, you should not just keep nodding your head in an unconditional manner.

“… “Tell me what you want.”

“Huh?”

Perhaps I did something too arrogant.

… I was worried.

Haha! Haha, yes! Very nice. Not bad. I really like how he shows his unexpectedly bold side like this sometimes. Yes, this is how men should be!”

Looking at Han Se-ryong’s loud laughter, it seemed like it was for no reason. When I glanced next to her, I saw Aebom looking at me with a happy smile, as if she was a little surprised.
I did it! This time, my heart was filled with pride differently. Should I say that I feel proud to have been recognized by such great people? My heart was pounding so pleasantly that I could hear it in my ears.

「Tap!」

“That’s what you have to do.”

Before I knew it, a wad of paper had slid onto the table. I carefully lifted it and tilted my head.

“Title: Confessing my sins to the stars that came down from the sky? Please forgive me?”

What is this cringeworthy sentence? It’s as if it was forcibly stretched out to make it look like a novice writer…

“Aaaaah!”

It was at the same time that Han Ae-bom screamed and the paper in my hand was torn to shreds. Oh, really?

“Is this… The cow written by Mr. Aebom, oops!”

Before I had time to react, Han Ae-bom’s fist hit me in the face.
