Chapter 1981 – [Death Scandal]

Jihee’s father came to the Blue House, or more precisely, to the President’s residence within it.

After going through strict procedures… Oh, of course, since I am the president and can’t tamper with things, he was able to come to the official residence after going through better procedures than before. He can barely remember how long it has been since he last saw him.

Maybe you met him when he was dying of cancer? I got some elixir from here, fed it, and extended its lifespan, but it seems to have survived quite well. Even if you use your energy to treat cancer, the elixir will not go away, so you will live longer than the average person.

“It’s been a while… No, nice to meet you, Mr. President.”

“Speak comfortably, Jihee’s father. This is not a public place.”

Although he must have heard the story separately, Jihee’s father did not show much anger. I think it’s thanks to the elixir that I maintain the appearance of a middle-aged person so that it doesn’t look like I have a daughter who is in her 40s.

First, we decided to talk over a light meal. Of course, it is natural for Jihee and Seok to be together.

At the same time, we talk about personal matters and various other things. Oh, by the way, I deliberately avoided talking about my wife, Jihee’s mother. Even though he is in contact with his father, his relationship with his mother does not seem to have resolved yet, so he is acting wisely.

“As you may know because you have already contacted me, Jihee likes me and I have come to accept Jihee. Although it may not be officially recognized now, I think I have at least become a romantic relationship with Jihee.”

“Yes, I see.”

“… If you have any complaints, please tell me now. I am prepared.”

Jihee’s father shook his head. I said I was prepared, but if you look at it, it looks like the other person was the one who made the decision.

“I’ve already noticed this for a long time. Every time I text, the conversation centers around Eden’s father or Jihee suddenly becoming the president’s secretary. And considering the fact that she remained single until recently, it’s obvious what she’s feeling. Because it’s work.”

“Ah…”

No matter how distant your relationship is, family is family and dad is dad. When I see people detecting sincerity even in a text-based relationship rather than face-to-face, I think that blood cannot be deceived in many ways. On the contrary, since I couldn’t give him any attention before, I probably tried to give him more attention after that.

There was a lot of evidence below. It’s just that I’m an asshole and didn’t notice it… Or I deliberately ignored it and escaped reality.

“As I just said, it will be difficult for my relationship with Jihee to be acknowledged right now. But as president, I will make sure that we can have a proper relationship even if I end up being impeached, so don’t worry.”

“Are you going to practice polygamy?”

“Well, we should also have polyandry. There is no need to get into trouble about gender issues.”

He was lost in thought for a moment. At least he doesn’t think what I’m saying is a lie.

I am not a person who goes back on what I said unless it involves my family. My personality is the type that doesn’t lie, but my family is more than just my beliefs.

“I am grateful if you cherish Jihee. If I can make a child happy who has been treated with indifference for almost 20 years… That is enough.”

“I will make you happy. Although I accepted that child a little late, I plan to spend at least twice as long with him as I did now and give him a happy life.”

“Thank you for doing so. Please do for that child what you couldn’t do for me.”

The direction was different, but he also loved Jihee. At least at this moment, it was as if Jihee knew what a happy path was and actually accepted a relationship with me.

Perhaps it was quite surprising that Jihee was also looking at her father with special eyes. Although it may be difficult to improve the relationship on the mother’s side, I think the relationship on the father’s side will become good relatively soon.

“Oh, one thing before that. Can I just hit you once?”

“Yes?”

“No matter what, if I think of my daughter marrying someone similar to me, I understand it rationally, but emotionally it’s a bit awkward.”

“That’s right. Actually, we prepared something like a shotgun. Shall we give you that instead?”

“It’s tempting, but a fist is better than an object that ends when you pull the trigger. So just let me hit you once.”

“I understand.”

I guess it’s a cultural difference. In the U.S., People are familiar with the use of a shotgun when referring to a guy who messes with their daughter, to the point where there are even words like shotgun marriage, but Korea is not a country where guns are legal…

Soon, Jihee’s father punched me. Huh!!! The fist he was swinging was quite threatening given his relatively young physical ability thanks to the elixir he took for cancer. What’s more, it’s even more so because you don’t just throw it away with your hands.

I could have blocked it with a force field, but I didn’t block it and just caught the punch with my face. Wow!!! The impact makes my bones tremble slightly.

The life history of a man just transitioning from middle age to old age. The station commander and I, who had relaxed our guard as much as possible, soon had a nosebleed. In fact, if he had put his mind to it, even without a force field, his single punch would not have resulted in bloodshed, but on the other hand, it is because he understands the feelings of a father who has a daughter.

Even if it were me, if I told Eden that she was getting married to someone my age, I would want to throw a tantrum. But if the opponent is okay with that fist, it would be really shitty. That’s why I treat you like this on purpose.

… And I think we’ll have a good relationship in the future, but if I don’t do this one thing, won’t it be a problem later? On the other hand, you can think of it as entertainment.

“How long has it been since I shed blood due to someone else’s attack…”

“Huh? Huh?”

“It was because I caught the punch on purpose. I couldn’t avoid or block the punch.”

“No, I never thought you would really accept it like that…”

“What? I also have a daughter, so I understand how your father feels. So I have no choice but to accept it.”

“You’re honest. That’s probably why Jihee likes you.”

After talking about various things with Jihee’s father, I parted ways. Perhaps because time has passed, we have recovered from each other’s wounds and become deeper in our thoughts, so we can think about improving our relationship with Jihee.

After he returned, Jihee seemed to have quite complicated thoughts. Although her parents officially approved the relationship, on the other hand, old memories remain, and the contradiction seems to be causing Jihee agony.

“Something is complicated…”

“What do you think? Time will tell that too. It’s not like I’ll die in just 10 or 20 years.”

“Telling about my age, I’ll be 40 the day after tomorrow. I want to have at least one child before it’s too late…”

“How many people do you want?”

“Hmm… Well, I’m thinking about children, but I haven’t really thought about how many.”

Eden, who noticed that the customer had left, quietly joined in and expressed his opinion. It would have been nice if Eden, who likes his family, had increased, but it wasn’t something he would have rejected, so he confidently shouts out.

“I don’t care about men or women, I have three younger brothers!!!!!!”

“Three? Then, if you want to have one before 40, you have to have one child a year from now on?”

“It would be better if there were more, so from now on, can’t we have children born in the same year? Ji-hee… No, Ji-hee’s mother?”

“I’ll try my best. I wonder if you’ll accept it.”

“No matter how much I want to have a child, I don’t just refuse. It’s a matter of timing and situation, so it’s something I have to consider first.”

“Oh, so if I want to quit my job and focus on raising children, you can have a baby tomorrow?”

“That’s true, but why don’t you say it only after you’ve done it at least three times?”

“… I guess I’ll have to wait about a year. And I’ll have to learn some sports or something like that.”

It would be good to learn something like exercise. Sex is also about stamina. It’s not for nothing that you lose all your stamina just after having sex.

Anyway, after meeting Jihee’s father, the time has come to reveal our relationship in earnest. Meanwhile, the media, which had been excited about the story of the moon base, gradually calmed down, and news began to spread focusing on my relationship with Jihee.

-This is a photo I took while inspecting [Dream Land] With Emperor Hung and his secretary. Is it spring?

-Now that I think about it, they say someone saw the two of them going to the guest room…

-? Isn’t this the person who worked for this secretary when he was self-employed? I remembered her as a beautiful secretary, not as pretty as Hyung J’s family.

-ㅇㅇ, I said he was the kid next door that I knew before he became president.

-On the outside, they look like they are the same age… But is it really true?

-Oh, no way.

-But the opponent is evil.

-Persuasive…!!!!

-How many lovers does this guy have haha

-But isn’t the secretary purely Korean? Even if people in other dimensions say the same thing, this is really an affair.

The policy here is set, so the important thing is to wait until enough people are interested. Gradually, the rumors began to spread.

This is the first time since I became president that I have to face people with a scandal or scandal, but I have no intention of running away. If he was going to run away in the first place, he would have just buried it as soon as the rumor started spreading.

And when the rumors turned into something concrete, I decided to hold a press conference. Of course, Jihee is also present as she is a party to the event. However, not as a secretary, but as one of my lovers, I placed her at the head of the table.

“The reason we have arranged this event today is to announce the truth about the rumors that have been floating around. First, the relationship between me and my secretary, Min Ji-hee… Has developed into a romantic relationship, as rumored.”

It’s nothing else but the president’s mistress scandal. Since we haven’t been asked any questions yet, the reporters are busy making fun of the batter and recording my remarks by filming.

“First, there are no internal problems within the family because other families have also reached an agreement, but since Jihee’s status is undoubtedly a citizen of the Republic of Korea, I think ethical issues will arise regarding her. Oh, do you have any questions?”

“Couldn’t there be legal problems?”

“In Korea, there is no crime of bigamy, but there was a crime of adultery instead, but it was abolished. Although it is a relationship that is not officially approved, it is not a crime by law.”

“Then it seems like you are going to enter into a common-law marriage…”

“No, I have no intention of keeping a child who likes me in a common-law relationship. Other lovers can be recognized at that level, so it doesn’t matter, but since Jihee was born in Korea, if she is not recognized in Korea, I cannot officially have her as my wife, so I will have to change the law.” It’s a thought.”

“… Are you saying you are going to implement polygamy?”

“We will implement polyandry equally. Of course, I believe there will be opposition, but this time, we will push ahead and enforce it, even privately.”

The reporters’ clamor grows louder. On the other hand, it was nonsense to change Korean law for the sake of Jihee.

Abuse of power? Is it a part-time job? Even though I didn’t want to be president anyway, I didn’t want to come down with impeachment or something like that, but if it’s for my woman’s sake, that’s fine. My family is more important than my responsibility as president.

“So, it seems like you are revising the existing civil law and creating a new law regarding bigamy. If you do that, won’t there be more people committing bigamy due to abuse or other problems?”

“So, when making a bill, we will put a condition on it. Bigamy can be made possible for people who have contributed to the public interest of the majority, who have raised the country’s honor in various fields, or as a single person. In that case, that will allow Many people will benefit.”

“Then, Mr. President, since you are in a good position and personally, I think you will easily pass that condition.”

“No, I plan to set an example in my own way, so I will meet that condition as an individual, not with the power of the president or the reputation of a bad emperor. We will talk about that later.”

Of course, there will be public opposition. On the one hand, it was something he wanted to do because he hoped to lower the approval rating, but if he was impeached before the bill was enacted, it would be the end of the story.

In that case, it would be better to at least show something overwhelming so that public opinion sympathizes with me. Because if we do that, we can push for the bigamy law.

After the press conference, the Internet was on fire with this issue. Although nothing has been shown yet, there was more favorable public opinion than expected.

– Even if you fucked up the girl next door, you are a manly person haha.

-Eating a child as old as a daughter = Hamanam. A politician risks his life to change the law for that child = a real man.

-Then let’s compromise and become a middle-aged man… Ah.

-Jungnam looks a bit Chinese…

-But is it okay to change the law for personal satisfaction?

– Haha, it’s a hideous thing. And since I don’t know what the evil demon will do, I’ll just have to touch Pikachu’s stomach for now.

-ㄹㅇ, if you bring up something so fucking bad, public opinion can change like flipping the palm of your hand.

People had trust in me. At least there was an expectation that I would bring something that met the public’s opinion, so public opinion was relatively good.

On the other hand, it was thanks to the reporters who wrote the article while maintaining neutrality. Thanks to the article written summarizing the pros and cons of the bigamy law, I was quiet without being swayed or incited.

“Although it is limited, I have thought of a good excuse to push for the bigamy law. But you have declared that you will not use the power of the president or the reputation of a vicious king, so what are you going to do?”

“Even without that, a transcendent person’s body is their property. In another way, they should at least sell their body.”

The by-products of the transcendent are worth even a single hair. How much more can I sell when I reach the road?

I will be the first beneficiary of the bigamy law, so I will bring something that no one can refute!!!!!
