137 – Adults just need to cheer quietly
After the simple tasting dishes, the heads of the three families finally take what can be called main in their hands.
William and Soichiro were on the side of liking meat, but Hyunjin prepared just in time also Nebiani, Japchae, and other foods like Sinseolro.
‘I hope it works well.’
Still, I did my best in what I could.
I just hope that the result will be a satisfying meal.
“Come on, don’t stand around and sit down. I think I’ve been cooking because I have something to talk about.”
Soichiro said to Hyunjin.
Hyunjin waved his hand and declined.
“It’s okay. I will listen to you after you finish your meal.”
“It is polite to sit down and have a meal at such times, Hyunjin. There is a good reason why the head of the household asks you to sit down. Come on, you guys, come and sit down too.”
William, who was next to him, helped Soichiro.
Hyunjin was still dazed, while Amelia, Ayako, and Tsubasa hurriedly sat down and prepared a meal.
‘Ehrara.’
Do I have to sit on this? By the way, the servants next to me are standing still?
Hyunjin pondered for a moment before sitting across from Soichiro. It happened to be the seat next to Ayako, but Soichiro saw it and laughed.
“Speaking of which, what do you want to say? It wouldn’t have taken a lot of effort if it was dressed so grandly.”
Soichiro said, acknowledging Hyunjin’s efforts.
“Um…… That is.”
Hyunjin hesitated for a moment at Soichiro’s words.
“It’s okay. Let me tell you first. If you listen to it and it doesn’t make sense, you’ll think it’s not.”
“I’m sorry to say, but I understand that the Kosanke meeting is a kind of exchange meeting every year where ideas are exchanged. Are you right?”
When Hyunjin hesitated and then boldly delivered a light straight punch, Soichiro brushed his beard lightly and said,
“That’s how it is. By the way, I will make a business proposal…… What do you mean?”
“Yes, there is that too. It’s just that I suggested an idea to what the ladies were talking about.”
Soichiro listened to Hyunjin’s words, nodded his head once, and exchanged glances with William and Tsubasa’s father, Atsushi Hoshizora.
William nodded his head, and Atsushi put on a look of deep thought.
‘Is it 1 upvote or 1 concern?’
Hyunjin carefully grasped the situation with a sidelong glance.
Before Soichiro could speak, he took a bite of japchae.

Noodles with a rich sweetness. Unlike the soba, udon, and ramen noodles commonly eaten in Japan, the taste of japchae will feel different because it is closer to sticky noodles.
If you dare to compare it, it would be about yakisoba, but you won’t be distracted by the unique taste of vermicelli in japchae.
Hyunjin made that decision and waited for an answer.
“The texture is unique.”
“Even pasta noodles don’t feel like this, after all.”
“Hmm.”
Leading by Soichiro, William and Atsushi ate japchae and started looking at Hyunjin at the same time.
Hyunjin began to break out in a cold sweat as the unbearably intense gaze pierced him.
“To be honest, today’s meeting was a place where I received a plan from my daughters and decided to give it a try.”
Soichiro opened his mouth again.
Hyunjin couldn’t keep his eyes on him as if he was sitting on a cushion of thorns.
“I don’t know where the last time’s ambition went, but at least I can feel the sincerity in the food.”
Soichiro said as if giving an evaluation.
“Then…… Are you giving me permission?”
“Permission. I and William have already made up our minds, but I’m not sure if the guy next to me will think so.”
At Hyunjin’s question, Soichiro said while aiming at Atsushi who was next to him.
“What am I?”
“No, it’s okay to be picky.”
“Eh, if I say that, what am I going to be? Listen to it once tell me.”
Atsushi denied Soichiro’s words and asked Hyunjin.
“Can I really tell you?”
“Even though Atsushi is a bit reticent, she is a friend who never talks empty words. Well, you already know the personality of me and William, so let me tell you.”
Hearing that, Hyunjin nodded her head and politely opened her mouth.
“Actually, the ladies talked about Japanese-style costumes, Western-style costumes, or school uniforms, but I recommended costumes from my home country.”
“Cosmetology of the homeland?”
It was Soichiro who first questioned Hyunjin’s words.
“Yes, it is called Hanbok. Please wait a moment.”
Hyunjin searched for hanbok to show what it looked like on his smartphone, then handed it over and said.
“This is what the outfit looks like.”
At Hyunjin’s words, Soichiro took a few quick glances and handed it over to the other family heads to confirm.
“Surely a nice outfit. Don’t you think so, Takako?”
“Um…… The pattern itself is sober, but the outfit is full of elegance. It is also very interesting to wear this daily hanbok.”
“If you have prepared this far to propose this, you can say that you put a lot of effort into it.”
While tasting the food, William, Takako, and Soichiro nodded their heads.
“Creating a new costume is obviously difficult, but I like the spirit. Have fun reviewing it.”
Atsushi, who was next to him, looked at Hyunjin and said.
“Atsushi, this is my friend. Can I use it if I just decide like that?”
“Don’t be so mean, let’s have a meal. Hyunjin, the dishes you cooked are so delicious. To the extent that it is second to none even compared to a top-notch chef.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“By the way, have you decided where to go for summer vacation?”
“Yes?”
At William’s question, Hyunjin asked back as if he wasn’t sure.
“There must be a schedule.”
“There is nothing in particular… ….”
“I see.”
William said as he snapped his fingers.
“Tommy!”
The door opened immediately at the sound of William’s fingers snapping, and he came straight to the side as if he had been waiting.
“Yes, sir.”
“Give me the key to the villa.”
At William’s words, Tommy pulled out a set of keys from her chest, took one of her keys, and handed it to William.
“This is the key to the villa on the Lionheart family estate. Feel free to use it if you like.”
“Ah, Father!?”
Amelia said to William with a surprised look on her face.
“Why, isn’t it good? Oh, return the key to Ed later. I hope you write well and return it. It’s been a while since I haven’t used it, so I’ll have to clean it.”
William gave the villa key to Hyunjin, responding appropriately to Amelia’s words.
“Are you okay? You can leave this to me…… “
“Of course, my company…… Oh, my gosh!”
“You’re too picky.”
William was about to say something, but Takako, who was next to him, quickly marked and said.
“Eh, isn’t it a bit like pinching?”
Looking at him like this made Hyunjin feel more like a village man than an aristocrat.
Correureu, tak.
The conversation ended with the sound of Shishiodoshi next to him.
***
After the serious conversation, the party had a meal and chatted in a pleasant atmosphere.
In the end, Hyunjin and Amelia, Ayako and Tsubasa were decided to stand as models.
As soon as Hyunjin was decided to be the male model, three girls rushed to volunteer.
The Lionheart couple and the Hozuki couple laughed out loud at their active daughters, but the Hoshizora couple didn’t feel that way.
On the contrary, it was to the point of making an expression that he didn’t know why his daughter fell in love with a guy who looked like that.
It was only after the brief meeting was over that the Gosanke meeting was over, and after that it went back to the social gathering.
“How about alcohol?”
Soichiro asked Hyunjin.
“Alcohol…… Are you talking?”
“That’s right. I wonder if a drink would be okay.”
“It’s okay. I’ll have to go back after the meeting, so I won’t drink.”
“Sorry.”
With a brief lead role, the Kosan-ke couple continued to bombard Hyunjin and the women next to her with questions.
What was high school life like, what happened with Hyunjin…… I started asking questions like that.
At this point, isn’t it almost at the level of a press interview? Hyunjin thought so.
‘Although I’ve never encountered a meeting.’
When she showed a smile that was stretched without making an uncomfortable expression, Amelia, who was next to her, caught it and opened her mouth.
“Father, Hyunjin is in trouble.”
“Couldn’t it be! And, call me Papa!”
“No!”
Ayako also cautiously tried to dissuade Soichiro, and Soichiro smiled.
Seeing how Ayako and Tsubasa kept going back and forth in such a situation, except for the Hoshizora couple who were displeased, the Lionheart couple and the Hozuki couple showed signs of liking them very much.
“Then, let’s go back to this point for today.”
Soichiro issued a congratulatory order to Hyunjin and the others.
“I will do that.”
“Ah, I will see you off.”
Only then did Hyunjin and his party get up from their seats and went out the door.
As Hyunjin and the others went outside, William and Soichiro exchanged words while laughing.
“That young man is my daughter’s knight. How is it, Soichiro?”
“I’ve seen him before, but his personality is kind and nice. It may seem like a bad thing to Atsushi, but.”
As we exchanged words with each other, Atsushi said with a puzzled expression.
“Thanks to that young man, I wondered what would happen if my daughter couldn’t concentrate on her studies.”
“I even ordered myself to sleep.”
Atsushi’s wife nodded and opened her mouth.
“It’s natural to want to be in a relationship at that age, Atsushi. What…… At first, I thought he was a bastard, but if you take a peek at the hot beast instinct nestled inside Hyunjin, you will change your mind.”
William had a very high regard for Hyunjin.
Just like Amelia was quick-witted, William had observed Hyunjin several times.
“Beast instinct? It sounds like you’re introducing yourself, William.”
William said with a grin at Atsushi’s words.
“Maybe that’s what you wanted. I feel sorry for not being able to take care of her daughter well because she is busy with work. Hey, have you had a proper talk with Tsubasa?”
Hearing William’s words, Atsushi slightly lowered her head and opened her mouth.
“Sure…… They seemed happy to be together.”
“Then, like adults, all we have to do is take a step back and quietly cheer. Originally, there is a saying that love is cutting water with a knife.”
“That example doesn’t seem right, but…… “
As Atsushi vomited at William’s words, Souichiro refuted.
“Just be quiet! It’s a shame that you can’t support the love of young friends without notice! Eh!”
“I see…… “
Atsushi recalled Tsubasa hugging Hyunjin, and she muttered quietly.
She was definitely a young man I liked, but she didn’t want to reveal her inner feelings easily.
