“What are you doing right here?”

“I heard that you simply’re spending your trip on the villa, so I additionally got here right here to chill off my head. I appeared round right here for some time, however this place is basically the identical. The final time I got here right here was after I was in center college.”

“Did you come alone? What about your spouse and Yoon-a?”

Yoon-a was Jae-won and Si-yeon’s daughter. Tae-jun was fairly keen on his niece, Yoon-a. She was a daughter, the best treasure of their life, who was obtained by means of only one mistake of Jae-Gained. Maybe, if it wasn’t for Yoon-a, their marriage wouldn’t have been doable because of the robust opposition from each households.

“Si-yeon went on a visit to Europe with my mother-in-law. It’s her birthday quickly. And I left Yoon-a with my mom.” Jae-won barely frowned as he took the looking gear that Tae-jun was holding. “The scent of gunpowder isn’t any joke. Did you catch numerous wild boars?”

“4 in the present day. I’ll should name the county workplace tomorrow and have them slaughtered.”

“Feels like disposal shouldn’t be a simple job as properly. Can’t we distribute them to the villagers?”

“We will’t due to the chance of spreading the ASF virus. Catch a couple of whilst you’re right here. Their quantity isn’t any joke.”

“It’s robust for me. It’s been 10 years since I final handled a gun.”

After returning all of the hounds to their kennel, Tae-jun cleaned up his gear and went to take a bathe.

After the wedding, Jae-won moved his place from Lodge Seoin to Daejin Division Retailer. It was an company for Si-yeon, who was away resulting from childbirth and childcare, however he determined to proceed to run the division retailer for now since he confirmed a enterprise acumen.

“It’s not unhealthy. Besides that I’m dying of fear about gross sales. If it drops even a bit of, my mother-in-law will scold me.”

“Would you like me to lift the gross sales for you?”

“It’s okay. I shall be acknowledged for my very own capacity. What’s extra necessary than that’s I heard that the brand new drug growth failed this time. To be trustworthy, I got here right here as a result of my mom instructed me to go and see you whereas she takes care of Yoon-a.”

“It wasn’t one thing I jumped into, considering that it will achieve success from the start. I’ve to take the chance. I simply hope it’s not too late.”

“What do you imply by late?”

When Tae-jun diminished the dimensions of the protection business and revived the event of a brand new drug for Alzheimer’s illness, which was on the verge of being scrapped, everybody mentioned he was loopy. Nonetheless, he had been steadfastly pushing his enterprise ahead by doing issues like constructing an Alzheimer’s Heart at Seoin Hospital.

As an alternative of answering immediately, Tae-jun spoke after downing all the glass into his mouth directly. “Inform my aunt to not fear about it.”

“I’ll try this. Oh, and I introduced a gift.”

Jae-won took out a cigar field that he ready. It was an costly present introduced by his international purchaser however was ineffective for Jae-won who didn’t smoke. Nonetheless, Tae-jun’s response to the cigar was completely different from what he anticipated.

“I stop smoking.”

“What? You stop? Unexpectedly?”

“It wasn’t rapidly. It’s been some time.”

Pondering again, there was no scent of cigarettes anyplace in the home. Jae-won slowly rolled his eyes and checked out his cousin’s situation. So he stop smoking? Why is he doing that? There was just one factor that got here to his thoughts. The rationale for all of the modifications that began with Tae-jun… Yuri Han’s departure, which occurred three years in the past.

Jae-won didn’t even know why Tae-jun let the girl he beloved a lot go away, or what occurred between them. In any case, after she left, this man frantically devoted himself to work. Though he was initially a workaholic, for the final three years, he had been abusing himself as if he have been ascetic. It was not unusual that Director Website positioning was nervous about him.

Jae-won opened his mouth across the time when the drink went backwards and forwards and he received drunk.

“Can I ask you one factor?”

“No, please don’t”

“You don’t even know what I’m asking, do you?”

“There’s nothing proper to speak about as an excuse for being drunk.”

Oh no, that’s too correct. However Jae-won didn’t retreat.

“What occurred between you and Miss Yuri Han?”

“…It ended.”

“I don’t know what occurred between you two however simply go and beg her for forgiveness.”

“You mentioned you don’t even know what occurred.”

“No matter it was, you in all probability let her go away since you did one thing unsuitable.”

If solely it was sufficient to make him quit what he as soon as imprinted as “his” in his hand.

Tae-jun’s face distorted as if Jae-won’s conjecture was right. He then took a deep breath and mentioned nothing.

At daybreak, Jae-won, who had fallen asleep on the couch after consuming, awoke within the chilly.

Has the heating stopped?

As he appeared round, he noticed an open window resulting in the terrace. And he noticed the again of an individual standing nonetheless. It was Tae-jun.

What’s he ? No, what’s he probably considering? What number of nights and hours has he spent like that?

The place the place he was standing appeared exceptionally darker. Jae-won couldn’t take his eyes off of Tae-jun’s again for some time.
