Episode 4. White water is right
A solemn atmosphere flows from the morning in the huge three-story mansion that occupies the middle of Pyeongchang-dong.
It was because breakfast for the people in the mansion was in progress.
Including Jin Yeon-seok, the head of Jinyeon Group, two sons Jin Gyu-yeon and Jin Su-hyeok, daughter-in-law Lee Ji-yoon, granddaughter Jin Woo-yeon, and grandson Jin Woo-kyung.
There was an only daughter, Jin Se-yeon, and a grandson, Woo Jun-joon, but he lived outside after his son-in-law Woo Hwa-jong died of a chronic disease.
“Soohyuk is at Seoul Central Hotel today at 5pm.”
Jin Soo-hyeok, whose name was called by Jin Yeon-seok, sighs while eating.
“Today, in addition to the company kids audition, there is also a meeting for actors entering new contracts. So I can’t go.”
“So… didn’t I tell you to close the tantara business right away?”
“This company was built without my father’s help. You have no right to interfere.”
“I’d rather focus on the construction we’re in charge of together! Don’t you know that other construction companies are in trouble because of the real estate business these days?”
It was a reaction that made the table tremble.
In the midst of everyone’s surprise, only Jin Soo-hyeok picked up the side dish and ate it.
“Didn’t you take it on the condition that you don’t touch my work?”
“Then you should do well!”
“If you don’t fail, you’re lucky.”
“Big-!”
Jin Yeon-seok’s fist trembles at the attitude of Jin Soo-hyeok who keeps hitting him.
At this, Jin Gyu-yeon, the eldest son, cautiously stepped out from the side.
“Father, just stop there. And Soo Hyuk. You also listen to what your father says. It’s not difficult.”
“older brother. I am now over fifty. What kind of marriage am I going to even look at?”
The promise of the Central Hotel earlier was right on the spot.
This is already the fifth time this year. Each time, Jin Soo-hyeok did not go out and endured as he is now.
“Still, in case you don’t know.”
“You must go out today! Ogeum Food second daughter decided to come out.”
“Are you coveting food affiliates now?”
“Noisy! If you want to get out, get out!”
“phew···! I clearly said no.”
“You can’t believe you still haven’t forgotten her!”
Jin Soo-hyeok’s forehead furrows at the sudden attack.
“I forgot about that woman a long time ago!”
“Then why don’t you get married!”
“Don’t get burned properly! Who do you trust? You left like that, but what and how do you believe and who will you meet!”
Soon after, Jin Soo-hyeok screamed and left the table. I took my jacket and bag off the sofa and went straight out.
After getting on the car, the destination was, of course, the company.
* * *
Kangsu arrived at the Jin Enter building and stood in front of the information desk.
“I’d like to meet the representative here.”
“yes? Did you promise anything?”
At the female employee’s kind reply, Kang-soo scratched his head slightly and said,
“no.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t meet you without an appointment.”
It was not easy to meet, perhaps because he was the representative of a company.
So Kang-soo thought of a way for Jin Soo-hyeok to move.
“Can’t you just tell me?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
“Can’t I do something? All you have to do is tell me if you know Han Jin-hye.”
“It’s not possible.”
The receptionist was quite strict.
Perhaps because of the scuffle, two men guarding the entrance approached Kangsu.
“What is it?”
“that is······.”
He did not speak to the embarrassing female employee until the end.
Rather, it motivates the men.
“Don’t do this and get out of here.”
A man grabbed Kang-su’s arm and dragged him away, but he didn’t budge.
In the meantime, Kang-su saw the badge hanging from the collar of the man’s jacket.
‘BG? Of the companies represented by Jin Soo-hyeok, is it the security company?’
Kangsu was still standing leaning against the information desk with a calm expression despite his whining.
In fact, he couldn’t move because Kang-soo was holding the end of the receptionist’s desk with his hand. Of course, that would have been impossible without a tolerable force.
“Can’t you really just deliver it once? Just once.”
The men, who completely lost face, grabbed Kang-su’s arms one by one.
It was awkward to hold the end of the desk with my hand.
At that moment, the right and left arms of the two men quickly turned, and in an instant they were broken and caught by Kang-soo.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Ah-! What, what!”
The men were on tiptoe at how painful it was, with their arms lifted and bent.
BG’s guards, who had been deployed on the other side, flocked to the commotion.
“I didn’t mean to make noise… Can’t you really just tell me over there?”
“aaagh! Come on, save me! Let go of this!”
A guard whose arm was caught screamed like a threat to a female employee.
Soon after, the female employee hurriedly picked up the phone.
* * *
Jin Soo-hyeok’s extension phone rings as he just finished work.
Ti-!
[Dae, CEO. A guest is coming.]
[Ah! Aagh!]
A strange noise was heard over the receiver along with the voice of a female receptionist.
“Did you have an appointment to visit today? What do you mean?”
[Not that. You don’t have any promises. Here’s the situation…]
Jin Soo-hyuk felt that something was strange. At the same time, his annoyance soared because he had been exhausted by his father, Jin Yeon-seok, from the morning.
“What is going on?”
[So, does the customer know a person named Han Jin-hye…]
“···what?”
For a moment, Jin Soo-hyuk’s expression hardened.
It was the name I remembered because of my father even in the morning.
“Who is the guest? Ask me!”
The extension phone was silent for a while to see if the transmission was being made.
“sh*t-!”
It was difficult for Jin Soo-hyeok to endure that gap. Feelings that I thought I had completely forgotten seemed to rise like mad.
Soon after, Jin Soo-hyeok spurred on, stood up, and rode the elevator down.
The situation in the lobby on the first floor was spectacle.
Two guards screamed as they were grabbed by the arms one by one by a man in a suit with shaggy hair.
Even though other guards came around, they couldn’t use their hands separately.
“What are you doing now!”
The guards were surprised by Jin Soo-hyuk’s voice that raised the lobby and hurriedly corrected their posture.
“Wait, CEO!”
“What is this situation?”
“It seemed like a scuffle had broken out in front of the reception desk, so I was trying to stop it.”
The answer was Jaeho Oh, the security team leader of BG’s JIN Enter.
At such an explanation, Jin Soo-hyeok’s eyebrows furrowed even more.
“Has this situation stopped you?”
“no.”
“Whoa… Is that the person who mentioned that name earlier?”
The gaze was cast on Kang-soo.
“By the way.”
“Don’t let me follow you. Since you are my guest, everyone go to their positions.”
Only then did Kangsu let go of the guards’ hands.
Even though everyone had dissatisfied faces, they couldn’t do anything because they were in front of Jin Soo-hyuk.
Soon, Jin Soo-hyeok and Kang-soo got on the elevator and went into the office and sat down.
“Ask straight forward. Jinhye Han. How do you know its name? what kind of relationship?”
“Because she is my mother.”
“mother? Are you by any chance… how old are you?”
“I am 31 years old this year. I am only 30 years old.”
Jin Soo-hyeok started calculating something. The fingers fold one by one, then flicker, then repeat.
“If you calculate the time we broke up…”
It has already been over 30 years. Even so, Jin Soo-hyeok’s eyes changed to something that was clearer than any other memory.
Of course, there are also doubts.
“Hey, why did you come to see me?”
“I’m curious.”
“What were you curious about?”
“Well, this and that.”
Kangsu revealed that only his mother was Han Jin-hye. He deliberately did not bring out the fact that he was his son.
It was still necessary to confirm that Jin Soo-hyeok was the real father.
“Did your mother ever talk about me? More than that, how is your mother doing?”
Was it wishing for something like a thread?
However, Kangsu’s answer shattered it.
“My mother . . . died 12 years ago.”
“How do you mean?”
“You have lung cancer. It was a bit of a struggle, but it went well. I heard about it last.”
It was a lie.
Mother had never mentioned anything about Jin Soo-hyeok.
It’s something I can’t just say I knew, so I made it up in moderation.
“I see.”
“yes.”
“What is your name?”
“This is Han River.”
“That surname is…”
“I took my mother’s last name. The stepfather was not there from the beginning to the end.”
It was a reassuring explanation.
In response, Jin Soo-hyeok sighed and massaged his temples.
“That’s right, it must have been a lot of hard work…”
“Not really.”
“Can I ask you just one favor?”
“Tell me.”
“I’d like to get some strands of your hair.”
Tutuk.
Kangsu immediately plucked a few strands of hair and laid them on the table.
“You do whatever you want. I just came here out of curiosity. I don’t really want anything, so I’ll just go back.”
Jin Soo-hyeok was taken aback by Kang-soo’s act of getting up soon.
“for a moment! If you have a business card, could you give me one?”
“I don’t have one.”
“To work…”
Jin Soo-hyeok scanned Kang-soo’s body. A suit aside, the messy hair that covered her eyes did not look like an office worker.
He proceeds to speak cautiously.
“Are you in business?”
“I don’t work.”
“Is it unemployed?”
[Unemployed: A scoundrel who sits around and eats without a penny.]
Once the dictionary meaning was like that.
Kang-soo thought about it while thinking about it, and felt strange.
“It’s okay to play, but I don’t have money.”
“Isn’t that what it is? how much money do you have wait.”
Jin Soo-hyeok went back to his desk and took out a black credit card from his wallet inside his jacket and held it tightly to Kang-su.
“What is this? I have that money.”
“It’s okay, so take it for now. I’ll contact you after my confirmation. You can return it then. Oh, what is your contact information?”
“There are no contacts. I don’t even have a cell phone.”
“···what?”
“Not really. I came out after living in the mountains until the day before yesterday.”
“···mountain?”
“If you give me your contact information, I will contact you in a few days.”
In response to Kang-soo’s answer, Jin Soo-hyeok took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to him.
“My business is over, so I’ll go now.”
“That, it is.”
Kangsu went out straight away.
Left alone, Jin Soo-hyeok sat down on the sofa.
Jinhye Han. The woman with that name had disappeared 30 years ago, leaving behind a note in the house she lived with.
「Break up. Don’t look for it.”
I fell in love like fire when we met.
Although he was only in his early 20s, he loved him more than anyone else, and even thought about getting married even though he hadn’t met for a long time.
Jin Soo-hyeok clearly did.
“Are you really my child? Did you take my child and disappear so cruelly? Not even coming back?”
At the time, I was so dumbfounded that I cursed Han Jin-hye and lived.
However, considering Han Kang-soo’s age and the time when they met, the timing was right.
“It won’t be. Absolutely not. If you had my child, why! Why would you disappear?”
Jin Soo-hyeok called Go Jeong-se, his secretary, on the extension phone.
When he came inside, Soo-hyeok Jin pointed to the table.
“Please order a genetic test. A place you can trust.”
“What should be the test object to be compared?”
“Make it mine. It’s a paternity test.”
Go Jeong-se was surprised to hear that, but did not show it outwardly.
