Episode 105. Family (1)
A few days later.
In addition to Cho Tae-gu, Kim Dae-jin and Ha Seung-jo were sent away at once.
First of all, today’s grandfather, Jin Yeon-seok, had a family gathering scheduled for the evening.
Kang-soo, who had been to the police station, thought about going for a jog as it was a day off.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
The cell phone rang on the table.
[President of Jinyeon Hospital]
It was a call from Lee Ji-yoon, my aunt.
When I was admitted to the hospital for an injury, I got a number and saved it.
“I got a call.”
[Are you Kang Soo?]
“… yes. What are you doing?”
[are you in hurry?]
It was the first proper call.
Kang-soo wondered what business the girl, whom he would meet in the evening, called for.
“no.”
[then… If you’re not busy, why don’t you go shopping with me?]
“… Jang?”
[I’m going to prepare dinner tonight. Will it be okay?]
Kang-soo had no reason to refuse.
But it wasn’t a comfortable relationship, so I was a little worried.
“All right. Where can I go?”
[Are you really okay? Then come without bringing the car. I’ll go to my car I’ll take a picture of the location in a message.]
That’s how I made an appointment with my aunt Lee Ji-yoon.
.
.
.
The meeting place was Oseong Mart near Pyeongchang-dong.
Kang-soo arrived by bus and met Lee Ji-yoon, who was there first.
“Did I call you for nothing?”
Lee Ji-yoon was a little worried that he thought he had just made an appointment.
At this, Kangsu let out a breath and said.
“it’s okay. Nothing else happened until meeting time anyway.”
“I’m glad. Shall we go then?”
The family gathering was in the evening. And now it was a little after lunchtime.
Lee Ji-yoon called Kang-soo earlier than the scheduled time, saying he was buying ingredients for cooking.
“Originally, I was going to come with Woo-yeon, but yesterday I drank and became a rice cake and came in. Woo-gyeong is uncomfortable around crowded places and because she has something to study.”
“Everyone is busy.”
“It is my wish to go shopping with them, but it is not easy. Ho ho ho, shall we be satisfied with the precipitation today?”
With those words, Lee Ji-yoon crossed her arms with Kang-soo, who was pulling the cart.
He wanted to enjoy the feeling of shopping with his children with Kang-soo.
In the first place, since Kangsu entered the mart, his eyes were focused on it.
Tall and tall, with cool and fine features. In addition, the suit that did not match the mart made it more noticeable.
The two of them walked between the shelves of the mart and stood in front of the dumpling tasting corner.
“Mm—this is delicious. Would you like to try river water?”
“… I will eat.”
“Uh huh, if mom gives it to you, you should take it.”
Kangsu awkwardly accepted the piece of dumpling she gave him and ate it.
Then, Lee Ji-yoon smiled brightly.
At this, a woman working at the dumpling tasting corner intervened.
“Oh, do you have an older son like this? You don’t look like that! Besides, he’s even good-looking, so it’s okay to be a talent!”
“really?”
As the lady said, Lee Ji-yoon looked younger than her real age.

Nevertheless, Lee Ji-yoon skillfully put the dumplings into the cart while exchanging compliments with the lady.
“… I’m sorry if I offended you because I was your mother.”
“no. it’s okay.”
When Kangsu was young, he often went to the mart with his mother.
It was only natural that he was the only family. I remember that time and it felt good.
“Thank you, our Kangsu.”
“… … .”
At Lee Ji-yoon’s one word, Kang-soo felt his heart tingle again.
What my mother, who was cooking, told me to bring tofu. What I said when I bought ramen at the local supermarket.
The last words I said until I closed my eyes… … .
It’s not difficult, but it’s because it’s not an easy word to hear.
“Whoa—”
Kang-soo followed Lee Ji-yoon and went around putting things in his cart.
Finally, a cart piled with goods arrived at the checkout counter.
Beep— Beep— Beep—
Even though the checkout staff took pictures quickly, there was no sign of slowing down easily.
Then, after a while, the amount appeared on the screen of the cash register.
[KRW 1,183,100]
Kang-soo was surprised at that amount.
‘At some mart, the price is displayed in units of one million won.’
Most of them were high-quality materials, but there were also a lot of things that were included as impulse purchases.
In particular, when the word organic was attached, it seemed to be picked and packed.
At this, Kang-soo shook his head and asked Ji-yoon Lee.
“What are you going to cook?”
“hmm… this and that?”
Kang-soo hung all the bags of shopping items on his fingers and followed Ji-yoon Lee.
It was an unbelievable amount and weight, but the precipitation was all it took.
Without knowing what people are looking at… … .
“I will listen too.”
“… it’s okay.”
I loaded things into the car parked in the parking lot.
Then Kang-soo sat in the driver’s seat and started off.
Upon arriving home, Kang-soo put the bag containing the ingredients on the table next to the kitchen.
In the meantime, Jin Woo-yeon, dressed in pink pajamas, walked around scratching her stomach.
Jin Woo-yeon, who had just woken up, could not even open his eyes properly. Then I found Kangsu standing in front of the table and looked at me blankly.
“… … .”
“… … .”
We just kept looking at each other.
Then Jin Woo-yeon asked slowly.
“Why are you here?”
“My aunt said she was shopping for a family reunion today, so I helped.”
“… huh? Is your mother shopping?”
match-
At that moment, Lee Ji-yoon hit Jin Woo-yeon on the back and passed by.
“If you wake up, wash up and come down. Don’t just hang around.”
“evil-! mom! It hurts!”
“Did you hit me because it hurt, or did I hit you to cool it down?”
Jiyoon Lee also put the bag he was holding on the table.
As I got out of the car, I forcibly took the thing I was listening to.
Jin Woo-yeon was concerned about that figure before the tingling back.
“Mom, why did you go shopping? What about the aunt?”
Usually, the meal and housework of the Jin family in Pyeongchang-dong was because the contracted helper took care of everything from one to ten.
“Today I want to prepare. So I told her to take a break from cooking today.”
“… … .”
Upon hearing that, Jin Woo-yeon quietly stepped back and entered the study on the first floor.
In the study, Jin Yeon-seok and Jin Woo-yeon’s father, Jin Gyu-yeon, were playing Go.
After a while, the door to the study opened and everyone rushed out.
“Father, is seafood soup okay?”
“Ugh— eating out today!”
“… yes? I also bought all the ingredients. Do it soon.”
“no. Since I am very hungry, I think it would be better to eat outside.”
“but… … .”
“Mom—I really want to do that.”
It was a more serious request than ever. It was difficult for Lee Ji-yoon to say anything further.
In the meantime, Jin Woo-yeon hugged his father Jin Gyu-yeon from behind and hid, and when he heard that, he let out a sigh of relief.
Kang-soo did not know what was going on.
In the meantime, Jin Woo-gyeong dragged a wheelchair out of the room.
“What’s going on? Oh, the river has come. You came quickly.”
“hello. President.”
Only then did Kangsu greet Jin Yeon-seok first.
It was because I couldn’t find a gap to intervene with the sudden eating out.
Jin Yeon-seok nodded to Kang-soo.
“Welcome. come here.”
Kang-soo, who followed, headed for the study.
At that time, as soon as the helper lady returned from doing the laundry in the kitchen and decided to eat out, she began to quickly organize the ingredients she had been shopping for as if she had been waiting.
At the same time, he had a genuinely relieved expression like Jin Woo-yeon.
.
.
.
Kangsu closed the door to the study and walked to the bookshelf where Jin Yeonseok was standing.
“Is it worth working for your father?”
“It’s pretty good.”
“You still have no other thoughts?”
“… There is nothing.”
In the past, I was asked to take charge of an affiliate, half jokingly and half seriously.
Of course, that was impossible. The other grandchildren, Jin Woo-yeon and Jin Woo-kyung. And it was because he didn’t do that to the dead Woo Joon-jun.
“Even the eyes and the atmosphere… It seems to be a little different from Ji Abby. It is the same at times like this.”
“… … .”
Kang-soo has not yet fully established his feelings for his father.
At least the last time I went to my mother’s grave… ? I could feel that he really thought of his mother a lot.
“Still, nothing has changed about the family register arrangements?”
“… I don’t feel the need to.”
“Aren’t you a family? Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand that you’ve been living like that for so long. respect enough but… You should think of your father.”
“… … .”
It was a very serious talk.
At this, Kang-soo could not say anything and remained silent.
In response, Jin Yeon-seok continued to speak.
“30 years… What a stupid boy. When you are separated from your mother, curse, hate. After pouring out all sorts of words… In all those years, I couldn’t forget a speck of dust. Tsk—”
It was the same when I looked at the cafe called ‘No Sunset’ in Mukho.
He understood his feelings for his mother to some degree now.
However, it was a different matter than Kang-soo wanted.
“… Please reconsider.”
“Is that why you don’t want to be part of our family?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s because there are too many things that are a problem right now.”
There were many things that were not revealed in the current river.
Thanks to that, I was able to move freely in various things.
However, there were too many restrictions if he was revealed as a member of the Jinyeon group externally.

No matter how interested people were, he was a chaebol. In addition, there was a story between Kang-su and Jin Soo-hyeok.
Countless people will remember the river as they ponder over it.
“if… The Chinese side, did you do it?”
It wasn’t a question.
Jin Yeon-seok’s eyes were filled with questions and confidence.
The river that saw it was also well guessed.
“know… Are you there?”
“The Chinese side was so strange that I accidentally discovered that you went to China while looking into it. It seemed like a coincidence, but the timing was just right.”
Jin Yeon-seok was the first chairman who started Jin-yeon Group as Jin-yeon Distribution and made it what it is today.
It wasn’t that I didn’t get to that point without doing anything. Trusted more than anyone else, doubted more than anyone else, and made the current business a success.
China’s investment was also not received without thinking.
There might be some hidden trick, so I doubted and checked several times. However, Wu Pei, chairman of Chiniu Group, was really neatly investing.
Accordingly, Jin Yeon-seok collected recent events with Chairman Wu Fei. There they found traces of precipitation.
“I heard that Chairman Wu Fei’s eldest son, Wu Chao-shi, and his second son, Wu Xuan, were kicked out. Is it true that they were involved in that?”
It seems like you’ve researched quite a lot.
In the current situation, it was bound to look more suspicious.
“Similar.”
“… I see Chairman Wu Fei said he really wants to see you again, even later.”
Since the investment was made into the Jinyeon Group, it was no different than letting them know that they were related in some way.
Of course, Chairman Wufei accepted the condition that his personal wealth would not be revealed as collateral.
“I think it would be better if I didn’t see it.”
“Heh heh heh, spread that much… I never dreamed that one person would lift up and down the world’s Chairman Wu Fei.”
Jin Yeon-seok, whose curiosity was resolved, felt refreshed as if his clogged stomach had been pierced.
At the same time, Kang-soo thought of Teresa and Gong Chi-young, who had moved together.
From the airport immigration records, Teresa should have known. Gong Chi-young is also there, but I didn’t say it on purpose.
Jin Yeon-seok, whose expression was so comfortable, continued to speak.
“Are you really still thinking about getting an affiliate and running it?”
“… it’s okay.”
Jin Yeon-seok did not know exactly Kang-su’s ability.
It was because in the process of finding out the circumstances, it was not revealed how Kang Su persuaded Wu Fei.
However, an investment of 190 billion won was attracted in favor of Jinyeon Group.
It was inevitable that the operation of the company, which had been staggering for a while due to Woo Joon-jun’s work, was a relief.
“I think you’ll be better than my father.”
“no. However, regarding this matter, the representative… … .”
“I don’t know yet if it’s Soo-hyuk. I don’t even know if I should talk. But I guess they still call it that.”
The word “father” hadn’t stuck to Kang-soo’s lips yet.
Jin Yeon-seok made a sad expression.
“sorry.”
“no. If you can pass 30 years so easily, what is not easy?”
Jin Yeon-seok, who nodded, tried to change the atmosphere, but his eyes went to the checkerboard.
“More than that… Do you know how to play Go?”
“I know a little bit.”
When I was in Ejisto, I sometimes put it at the request of VVIP.
At first, I didn’t know the rules at all and got lost, but then I learned the method.
“Then, let’s put it in line once and when we get a rough idea, let’s lay the stones with Jeopardo.”
“All right.”
Kang-soo sat face-to-face with Jin Yeon-seok and started playing Go.
.

After some time, Jin Woo-yeon, who was soaked in alcohol, came down after dressing up for eating out.
I ran into Jin Soo-hyeok, who had just returned from an urgent company work at the front door.
“Your little dad is here.”
“… okay.”
Jin Soo-hyeok was called ‘the little father’ even though he was not married, and it felt strange.
“Ah— Kang-soo came earlier. And today we are eating out.”
“Precipitation already? Eating out rather than that?”
I’ve never had a family gathering outside.
It was because Jin Yeon-seok, the most powerful member of the Jin family, did not like to eat out very much.
The occasional day when I ate out was when my sister-in-law said she would cook for me.
