165 – Decision for younger siblings
“… ha..”
Aare gets out of the car with a deep sigh.
At this moment, her heart was filled with regretful feelings in many ways.
‘Anyway, calling on a day like today…’
Today is the day when a large-scale mission is over and there is an after party.
By now, it was clear that Hunters and Lieutenant Jinhyun Lee would be having a good time enjoying drinks and food at Dreamers Headquarters.
However, that was not the only regret from Are’s point of view.
On a day like today, with that person who is definitely likely to be connected.. Sleeping with Adjutant Lee Jin-hyun.
In the meantime, Are was starving as much as he had to endure all the time while suffering on the Kaesong front.
For her, today’s drinking party was a place where she could satisfy her desires.
‘Well… no matter how, I’ll have to go first.’
I don’t like it, but as an office worker… at the same time, as a younger brother, I can’t help it.
So, Are slowly entered the building in front of her eyes.
*
“Welcome.”
“I’m back, Chairman.”
A familiar room located deep inside.
And… a familiar voice heard right after entering the place.
Then, in front of Are’s eyes, the figure of the person who resembled her except for the color of the eyes began to appear.
Han Soo-young.
Her real sister, the one who called her here today
Looking at her face, Areh bowed politely and took a seat across from the person.
“You don’t have to go that far now, do you? No matter how superior or subordinate they are in the company, they are sisters..”
“no. No matter what, the principle is to keep the basics.”
“..ha.. yes. If you still want to do that, it must be inevitable.”
In response to her sister’s words, Are rejected it with a voice that felt a little determined.
Seeing his brother like this, Sooyoung spoke with a bit of regret as always.
Are’s attitude, always polite but slightly rigid, was certainly not that bad from the point of view of working life.
No, in a way, the way she tries to make sure of her position every time by drawing a line between blood sisters to some extent is quite positive in Korean society where the so-called tyranny of the owner’s family is unrestricted. There was also room for viewing.
At the very least, it meant that with the help of blood ties, he would not be rashly greedy for things beyond his ability.
However, apart from the fact that
Seeing his younger brother like this, Suyeong let out a small sigh inwardly, as always.
Of course, it’s a good thing to make the public and private affairs clear in everything, but no matter how much, there was a wish that it felt a little more friendly as a younger brother.
Thinking about that, I once again put aside my bitter feelings about the work I had half given up on,
Sooyoung then said with a friendly smile on her lips toward her younger brother whom she hadn’t seen in quite a while.
“I heard that he was quite active on the Kaesong front. You really worked hard.”
“No.. up to that point.. Jinhyeon-nim suffered more than me. I have only provided very little help.”
“hahahaha.. Anyways.. Judging from Ji Seo-bang-nim’s already taking care of you, you’ll be a really good bride later on?”
“! That…it’s not like that.”
“hehehe… I don’t think there’s much meaning in denying it with your face blushing like that, right?”
“Ugh..”
Are, who immediately starts to blush at her sister’s jokey words.
No matter how much he tries to maintain a public feeling, his younger brother is showing the appearance that he can’t help it in this kind of story.
Seeing her precious, if precious appearance, Sooyoung gave a small smile and then looked at her younger sister with a more calm expression and a look of deep joy.
‘Certainly… in many ways, it has changed a lot. Are we… Compared to when we first met, he has become a completely different person.’
Are, who first appeared in front of him in a military uniform in the past.
Describe her appearance at that time…
It felt like something was dead.
Unfocused blurry eyes, an expression that could not be found to be lively.
Still, the only fortunate part is that her face, looking at his own, contains a feeling of relief or something that could be called hope.
However, at this moment, Are’s face in front of Sooyoung’s eyes was completely different from what it was back then.
It is… the appearance of a woman who has come to have the feeling of love.
Feelings of vitality, happiness, and joy for life were oozing from her face.
‘It’s nice.. Really.. It looks good.’
Soo-young, who was captivated by a warm feeling for a moment, seeing her younger brother showing feelings of shame that he could not even think of in the past.
At the same time, she began to make up her mind once again in her head.
‘Are, my younger brother with whom I share blood.. And our Jinhyun, who shares time and emotions with me more than my own.. Now, in order for these children to live happily… I must make a decision.’
To be honest, she didn’t want to go this far.
Even if you are aware of the need for it. Because of this, it is clear that the blood of innocent people will flow.
But..
Nonetheless, she made up her mind.
For the brother in front of you…
For a younger brother who is not in front of my eyes.
And.. for my daughter who will be watching this moment from upstairs.
As she always did,
as an older sister
as a mother.
and..
As the chairman of Dreamers, and the hidden real-life owner of Laie, the company her late husband inadvertently passed over.
The woman whose name is Han Soo-young
I decided to do what I had to do in this situation.
“Okay then… let’s hear about our sister’s love story a little later. Today, this older sister called because she wanted to talk.”
“ah… Yes, what is it, Chairman?”
Are asked seriously while erasing the emotions contained in her face in her words.
In response, Sooyoung is the leader of Dreamers standing in front of her.
Looking at Iare’s face, he opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“I decided to do what I had been thinking about for a while.”
“!
Are begins to show embarrassment at her sister’s words.
But at this moment, she realizes that what her sister is saying is clearly true.
I could clearly recognize that a decision had already been made in her heart.
Sooyoung is looking at us with an expression of firm determination.
It was an expression that Jinhyeon rarely showed except when preaching in a serious voice.
However, at the same time, Are was able to notice that it contained a calm chill and a strange eerie feeling that Jinhyeon had never revealed before.
And, considering the nature of the ‘work’ she said, this is a natural fact.
Regarding this, Aree swallowed dry saliva without realizing it, and Sooyoung still feels calm while watching her..
However, at the same time, he continued speaking in a voice that felt more cold than that.
“Don’t worry. As I always said, you guys won’t suffer any harm because of this. I am telling this story only to ensure that you do not act recklessly while misunderstanding that you have staged.”
“… ..”
Sooyoung talks in a bittersweet voice.
Regarding this, Areh lowered his head for a moment and remained silent for a while.
Although she was not clearly aware of the whole situation.
Although she is the leader of Dreamers, as the chairman and older sister Soo-young are in a position to take care of external matters, her concern was limited to work within the company.
And now, the older sister, who was reading the external situation clearly, made a declaration to herself.
That I can’t stay like this anymore…
now bye…
It means that it is time to put into action the one decision that has only been given intermittently.
