134 – Hey, talk to me for a moment
“Ha… ….”
When I ride in the car and see the scenery outside the window changing in an instant, I can’t help but sigh.
There is no particular reason.
It was simply because I was going to meet the person who would become my future father-in-law.
Today was the day we decided to have a meal with Seol So-young’s parents.
“Are you nervous?”
At that time, Seol So-young, who came out to meet me with Cha Min-seok, asked me with a bitter smile.
“Um… little?”
Actually, I’m not just a little nervous, but a lot nervous.
I heard that Seol So-young’s mother, Mrs. Lee Hwa-young, is also taking her place. She has been strongly wanting me and Seol So-young to continue since two years ago, so she will not have any negative thoughts.
The problem was, of course, on President Seol Han-yong’s side.
I knew that she was such an idiot, so I was a little doubtful whether she would view me favorably.
Of course, I did something to earn points before meeting my father-in-law, so it’s probably okay, right?
Anyway, this wasn’t the first time we had a meeting.
I met Lee Da-hye’s parents the day before I met Seol So-young’s parents, that is, yesterday.
Thankfully, they welcomed me very much.
Lee Da-hye had told me before that her parents were her fans, so I think it was helpful for her to bring her autograph.
In conclusion, we passed one gate safely and now it was time to clear the next gate.
“Anyway, what’s on the menu today? “If you think about it, I didn’t ask that.”
“Course meal.”
“Course meal?”
At first glance, a word with a strong image of looking expensive jumped out.
If you think about it, have you ever eaten a multi-course meal in your life?
I guess there isn’t one… ….
In that sense, I had some expectations.
“We have arrived.”
With Seol So-young saying those words, I got out of the car.
And as soon as I got out of the car, the first thing I saw was the huge hotel spread out in front of me.
I could immediately tell who owned this hotel, called ‘Baekje Hotel’, which looked very luxurious to anyone.
From noble mtl dot com
It was a five-star hotel run by Seol So-young’s mother, Mrs. Lee Hwa-young, as her CEO.
And as far as I know, there was only one place to eat in the Baekje Hotel.
It was a high-end Korean restaurant called ‘Daon’, which had three stars.
As expected, Seol So-young guided me there, and we arrived at the reserved seat before Mrs. Lee Hwa-young and CEO Seol Han-yong.
And Seol So-young, who was sitting right next to me, smiled and said.
“This is a place I once asked to go together. “Now we’re finally together.”
“Is this really the place two years ago when you strongly suggested that we set a date first?”
Seol So-young looked a little surprised, as if she was asking if she remembered that.
Actually, the reason I remember this conversation is because at this time, I sent a text to Seol So-young, who was in her rookie year, putting a little pressure on her.
Was it a text message that made you feel like you were always looking forward to it?
After this, Seol So-young’s acting skills deteriorated so drastically that filming for ‘Welcome Cafe Violet’ was disrupted.
After hearing the news, I personally visited her on set, checked her performance as Seol So-young, and talked to her on the phone for the first time.
In the end, the conversation probably helped a little. That day, Seol So-young showed off her incredible acting skills and created a famous scene that will be a hot topic for a long time.
“Somehow it feels like a long time ago now. “Only two years have passed.”
“I see… …. But you know what? “I think it was probably from then on that I fell in love with the author.”
“Um… I don’t think I’ve ever said anything that cool. “I remember her getting a little excited and saying something about taking charge of her life.”
“And in the end, those words became reality.”
Seol So-young was smiling faintly.
Just like me, she seemed to be recalling her memories, recalling what happened at that time.
And immediately she opened her mouth with an expression on her face that seemed to indicate that she had thought of something interesting.
“Maybe if I had caught the artist back then, the picture might have been a lot different.”
“Hmm? What are you talking about?”
“After finishing filming the climax scene, I saw the silhouette of the person with the producer. That’s when I got a feeling. That person is the author of 927… Called.”
Seol So-young found me right after filming was over.
This was a bit of an unfamiliar story.
Almost as soon as the filming was over, she left the filming set and when she saw me, it seemed like she had planned it in advance.
She was the one who asked me to watch her performance in the first place after her phone call ended.
However, it is said that because of her excellent performance, her staff stopped her from praising her, so in the end, she was unable to catch me leaving her filming set.
“But what if I had shaken off the staff and somehow caught the writer?”
For some reason, Seol So-young, who was asking me a question, had a very alluring expression on her face.
Then she gently placed her hand on my cheek and opened her mouth.
“If that were the case, I would probably have you all to yourself by now… ….”
“…… “Soyoung.”
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding. “There are no ifs in history anyway, and no matter what the process was, I ultimately achieved what I wanted.”
I couldn’t help but smile at Seol So-young’s words.
Of course, as she said, such a future may have existed.
However, as the saying goes, ‘There are no ifs in history,’ it was a meaningless story to me now, who loved Seol So-young and Da-hye Lee at the same time.
“Oh my, did we intervene in the best of times without noticing?”
At that time, a familiar female voice came from the reserved seat where we were.
I turned my gaze toward the voice and saw Mrs. Lee Hwa-young standing there.
And then the person who was guarding her side comes into her eyes.
I’ve seen her often on the Internet and in articles, but this was my first time meeting her in person.
Is that person President Seol Han-yong? ….
It was definitely the kind of force that made you know right away what people were talking about as a unique charisma.
***
After simply saying polite greetings to each other, we started eating……
“Anyway, my son-in-law, does the food suit your taste?”
“Cough! Cough!”
Mrs. Lee Hwa-young’s sudden son-in-law’s voice immediately choked me up.
And naturally, Seol So-young next to me handed me a glass filled with water.
“Why are you now pretending not to know? Are you really going to confess so openly and block her daughter’s path to marriage and then get married?”
“…… No. “That’s absolutely not true.”
“Then I guess I should get used to this title as quickly as possible.”
She smiled slightly, as if it was natural.
I feel like I quite like the title son-in-law.
From the beginning, Mrs. Lee Hwa-young treated me kindly from the first time I met her in her hospital room two years ago.
Otherwise, there would have been no reason for her to ask me to take responsibility for her daughter’s life if her own surgery failed.
Anyway, from her perspective, I think she would be happy that her surgery was a success and that I am now with Seol So-young.
“So when do you plan on getting married?”
“Cough! Cough!”
Write… ….
It seems like it’s the same repertoire as before…….
“I guess it’s a little early to think about getting married.”
At that time, President Seol Han-yong, who had been watching Ms. Lee Hwa-young next to her all this time, opened her mouth.
First of all, I responded quickly because it was helpful in the current situation.
“That’s right. Because it is legally possible from the age of 18. “It would be impossible right now.”
“Hmm… “I didn’t know that the world’s 927 author would talk about the law.”
I think you are misunderstanding a bit.
I am also an upright citizen who wants to follow the law as much as possible.
Of course, if Cha Mu-sik had heard this, he would have had fun making fun of me, calling me an upright citizen.
What… I guess that’s because there is karma.
“Then shall we get engaged first?”
“That… I’m not running away anywhere. “Ma’am.”
As we continued this breathless conversation, before we knew it, the meal was over.
I understand that originally you only eat meals. So, I’m not sure what the schedule will be like after this.
But……
“Hey, talk to me for a moment.”
It seemed that Seol So-young’s father had something to talk with me personally.
Of course, there were those who did not look at him very kindly.
“You. “You’re not planning on saying anything weird to your soon-to-be son-in-law, are you?”
“No. “It’s just because there are deep conversations between men.”
President Seol Han-yong asked for understanding from his wife with a somewhat serious expression, and I also nodded to his suggestion and followed him outside.
So, President Seol Han-yong and I walked side by side on the site of Baekje Hotel, and as expected, a slightly awkward atmosphere flowed.
“I owe a lot to the writer called 927.”
And in that awkward atmosphere, the first person to speak was President Seol Han-yong, who said he had something to talk about with me.
But I couldn’t understand what he said right away, and I couldn’t help but look a little puzzled.
However, I immediately witnessed something even more incomprehensible with my own eyes.
“That’s why I wanted to say thank you to you someday.”
CEO Seol Han-yong of Cheonha bowed his head to me as a sign of gratitude.
