Chapter 143 – Episode 143

“Miss, I think it’s over.”

Secretary Jang lowers her head because she doesn’t want her sad eyes to be seen. As she was calm in her deceased brother’s room, Abom, who was reading her book, looked at the clock hanging in her room.

[AM 2:14]

“It took a little longer than I thought.”

“Yes… I see.”

Widely. A baby closes her book and raises her body. She walked around the huge mansion that her guests would inevitably wander through, familiar with it. Secretary Jang quietly follows him… My footsteps stop suddenly.

The place she stopped was in front of the door of the room where Han Se-ryong and Kim Hyun-woo had a drinking binge.

“Is it okay to come in?”

“Yes, lady.”

「Kkiik!」

Let’s open the door carefully. Hot air and various smells of alcohol rush out through the gap in the door. A Bom frowns slightly. The smell of her alcohol was so strong that I felt slightly intoxicated just by smelling her.
I wave her hand and look around inside her.
Empty liquor bottles rolling around here and there. The snacks that filled the table were as clean as if they had just been made, as if they had never been touched.

“…”

Her grandfather sitting in his chair, lowering his head and snoring at her. And Kim Hyun-woo fell asleep on his side because it was uncomfortable on the sofa. Lastly, my father was sleeping, stretched out on the floor… Huh?

“Why is Dad here?”

“Ah…”

Secretary Jang glanced inside and explained.

“You broke in the middle. It wasn’t anyone else, but the young lady got angry at the news that a man was brought into the house…”

“We broke in the middle, were you the first to reach out?”

“Yeah, maybe…” …”

“Hey, Secretary Jang, I’ll ask your dad for a favor.”

“All right. “No!”

As Secretary Jang nods and drags Han Ae-bom’s father away, Han Se-ryong’s eyelids, who were snoring as the world goes by, flutter.

“Keu, keung…” … “Mr.”

Han Se-ryong, who ate his nose loudly, pressed his eyebrows and opened his mouth.

“Baby, what time is it?”

“It’s 2 a.M. Grandpa, are you okay? “Someone is older.”

“Damn it. It’s only 2 a.M., But you fell asleep? “I’m dead too.”

“You can rest assured that even if you search all of Korea, my grandfather would be the only person who drank this much alcohol at that age and is still sober. Still, just in case, go to the hospital.”

“That’s ridiculous! Even when I grow old, I am still Han Se-ryong! “If I just drink a glass of honey water, I’ll be fine.”

“I heard you’re stubborn for no reason. Phew.”

Han Ae-bom sighs and lifts Kim Hyun-woo’s arm from side to side. Han Se-ryong said while finding the optimal posture and supporting her.

“That Ciberom thing’s stamina looks like a monster. “Even though I poured alcohol into the stomach of a child who didn’t even know what alcohol was, he did his best to hold on until the end.”

“I didn’t know it would be like this. It seemed like my stamina and strength were improving as the days went by. Also, my abilities as a person.”

“What are abilities? Looking at the tail falling in front of me, I still have a long way to go.”

Despite the fact that they were bickering over Han Ae-shin’s work, the conversation between Han Ae-bom and Han Se-ryong was very friendly, as if it had never been that way. They were people who were certain that when they had to bring up their personal feelings, they brought it up, and when they didn’t, they didn’t.

“Keuuuuu…”

As Han Ae-bom lifts him up, Kim Hyun-woo makes a groaning sound and drool leaks out. The saliva that fell from her mouth wet Han Aebom’s clothes, but Han Aebom didn’t care at all. Han Se-ryong’s eyelids flutter when he sees that.

“If what you said was truly sincere, then whether you like it or not, you will have to face it often from now on. Do you know?”

“Yes. I know. I don’t have anything to say about that, Grandpa. “The reason I’m stubborn is that it has to do with my brother.”

“Tsk, who do I resemble so much that I’m so stubborn?”

“Who do you look like, grandfather? “My grandfather knew who I resembled the most, so he cared so much about me.”

“Ugh, if I can’t even talk…”

Han Se-ryong fiddled with his glass while looking at Kim Hyun-woo, who was still asleep, leaning on Han Ae-bom’s shoulder, without even showing any signs of waking up. I feel like throwing it on that face.

“I told that bastard of mine to help you with your novel, but you’ll have to help him too. “It’s not enough, it’s a long time!”

“I know.”

“And next time, don’t drink in places like this. Are you planning on taking me to ‘Hwamong’? I know so. If you show a disappointing performance there, you are out. Keep in mind that I haven’t acknowledged that guy yet.”

“That’s something you have to experience. “Hyeonwoo still has a very naive side in many ways.”

“Okay.”

As a moment of silence continued, Aebom was the first to bow her head.

“Then let’s go in, Grandpa.”

“Get out of here. … Oh, by the way.”

Han Se-ryong, who was about to let her go, stopped her.

“Seeing you putting in so much effort, I’m guessing that among the kids you’re living with in that small studio apartment right now, you’re quite concerned.”

“…”

“Don’t lose. Even if I leave home, I cannot bear to see my Han family lose somewhere. Do you understand?”

“That’s natural.”

Nodding, Han Ae-bom bowed her head once more and left the room with Kim Hyeon-woo.

After a while, Han Se-ryong said as he looked down at Han Ae-bom, who was putting Kim Hyun-woo in the car parked at the entrance to the mansion in the distance.

“Secretary Jang.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Let me start the car. I have to go to the hospital… I’m a lot older now too. Furthermore, I might not be able to last much longer than I thought.”

“Please don’t say things that are inappropriately weak. “You will at least correct it until you hand over the group to Miss Aebom.”

“Cluck, that’s how it should be.”

Han Se-ryong nodded and added while taking a sip of warm honey water.

“And, the kid from Ilha Group.”

“Yes.”

“Call me to the hospital. Right now.”

Secretary Jang quietly lowered his head at Han Se-ryong’s words.

* * *

Late in the morning, a luxury Japanese brand car stopped in front of Hanban Hospital. The secretary got out of the driver’s seat, opened the back seat door, and lowered her head.

“We have arrived, Vice President.”

“Okay.”

Oh Hanam rarely sighs, but today was different.

“Hey, let’s go in. “I wonder why the old tiger called me.”

“Yes.”

Hanam Oh walked to the VVIP room of the hospital accompanied by only one secretary. He smiled kindly at the people he met and the nurses.

“Oh my, aren’t you just Vice Chairman Oh Hanam of Ilha Group?”

“Oh my god, you are so sweet.”

“Even though it was early in the morning, he smiled very kindly. “What brought you here?”

“From what I heard, the Hanban Group just…”

That’s how we arrived at the VVIP room.

「Knock knock!」

“Forgive me for being late. Oh Ha, who serves as Vice Chairman of Ilha Group…”

“If an adult calls a young Nomu cub, it should come running. What time do you think it is!”

Ohanam, who always had a perfect smile, ‘s eyelids fluttered. The glove he wore on one side, which has now become his trademark, made a small clanking sound.

Nevertheless, Oh Ha-nam quickly regained his poker face and bowed his head.

“Sorry. I was going to meet the chairman of Hanban Group, but I thought I couldn’t show him with a dirty look. “I was a little late because I had to wash up.”

“Tsk, young people these days are so impatient that they can’t come up with excuses for whatever they do. Especially you. I’ve never liked the way you handle things. “Are you even going to make it reach my ears?”

“…”

Oh Ha-nam quietly raised his head and looked at Han Se-ryong, who was wearing a patient gown. Every time I see him, he is a person whose words naturally come out.

‘How is it that nothing has changed since I was young?’

How can a man who is old enough to be young to be so lively? Is the chairman of the Hanban Group taking the elixir that he kept for himself?

I thought it was an old tiger.
She was still a person who could not be underestimated.

“Take care of my business… “I also have something to say about that.”

“What? An adult is speaking, but are you trying to make excuses again?”

“I guess it’s because times have changed. He can’t just ignore injustice like he did in the past just because he’s young. The Chairman pointed out how I handle my work, but if you look at it that way, I tend to do things really neatly. There’s not a lot of back-and-forth about it. In comparison, what about the Chairman?”

Oh Ha-nam, smiling, looks at Han Se-ryong. Those eyes were full of arrogance.

“How many dirty things have you done with those hands? You are very fortunate to have been born at a time when public security, laws, and the level of awareness of the people in Korea were low. If you did that now, no matter how much you are the chairman, you wouldn’t have been able to get rid of everything.”

Even though he said something that would have made anyone else angry, Han Se-ryong burst into laughter without any hesitation.

Haha, you little bastard. That’s why people above you hate you. “You selfish bastard.”

“…”

“Even though our generation lived as dirty as you said. In some ways, they took our sacrifice for granted and gave the evil bastards at least a small glimmer of hope. But what are you? Aren’t you just manipulating me by suffocating me just for your own good? “If a bastard like you runs the business, your company may do well, but the country will become sick from within.”

“What do you think? All you have to do is eat well and live well. Everyone lives like that these days. Don’t even think about the next generation, just make yourself happy right now…”

“You’re such a traitor!”

“…”

Oh Ha Nam had no choice but to twitch his eyebrows and keep his mouth shut.

“Cluck. Looking at you, I think you’re much better off than the half-penny bastard I met today. What do you do if you are smart and capable? The kid’s mind is messed up. “He’s like a scumbag who doesn’t give credit to the country where he was born and raised.”

“His affection, romance, loyalty… Now is not the time to make a living from such things, Chairman. Chairman, I don’t know if you would have saluted the company first when you came to work. These days, it’s full of people leaving within a day if they get better conditions.”

“That’s what you think.”

You seem like a person who can’t communicate.

Ohanam’s eyebrows fluttered again. In fact, he didn’t like old people, just as they disliked him. Because I can’t have a logical conversation.

“By the way. That’s the half penny I was talking about earlier. “If you’re going to do something bad to that guy, you’d better quit.”

Oh Hanam tilted his head with a smile.

“I don’t know who that Banpoon is talking about, but if it’s the Chairman of Hanban Group, then of course…”

“Hyunwoo Kim. “The one who is with your sister right now.”

At that moment, Oh Hanam’s face, which had never cracked in an official setting, cracked.

Han Se-ryong saw that and laughed.

“Ckekekeuk, now you’re showing a more human face.”

* * *

“Driver, can you stop here?”

“Yes?”

The driver, who had reflexively stopped the car carefully at Han Ae-bom’s words, tilted his head. There was still quite a distance to her studio where she lived.

“I thought this place would be good.”

“Ah, lady.”

“Thank you for the ride, driver. “No!”

[LoveLove Hotel]

The driver looked blankly at the building where Han Ae-bom was dragging Kim Hyun-woo, groaning.

“As expected, I wasn’t giving you 200,000 won.”

At this moment, the driver felt truly sorry that his job was not to be an assassin.
