#78. Colds are contagious

At those words, Yerin made a fist and hit Lee Hyun’s chest without hurting him.
“What is that?”
“Are you serious? Me
right now?” The playfulness had disappeared from Lee Hyun’s eyes.
Looking into his dark eyes soaked with desire, she could also tell that his words were very sincere.
Yerin wrapped her hands around Lee Hyun’s waist and whispered quietly.
“There’s a saying. It says that you have to catch a cold to get better quickly… … .”
Before Yerin could finish speaking, Lee Hyun’s face was right in front of her.
“Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard that before.”
“Right?”
Yerin closed her eyes like half moons and smiled, and Lee Hyun responded with the same smile.
Their lips quickly covered each other and remained in contact for a long time.
Until their body temperatures were similar.

President Han entered the VIP ward of Jiseok Hospital late at night, having another drink today as usual.
Chan-sook, who had fallen asleep, opened her eyelids with difficulty at the noise.
“Are you here?”
“Has Ye-rin not contacted you yet?”
Although the room was soundproof, Chan-sook was worried that Pyeong-hoon’s voice might be heard in the next room.
“Honey, let’s talk quietly. It’s when everyone else is asleep.”
“The wife makes fun of her husband, so the daughter X doesn’t contact her at all and neglects her!”
“Honey, how could you say that?”
CEO Han kicked off his slippers on the floor and screamed.
After moving Chan-sook to the room, Ye-rin’s boyfriend Lee Hyun had clearly said that he would review the business plan if she sent him.
However, he was frustrated because he had not received any contact even after sending it by email.
Although Ye-rin was still sending him small amounts of money, CEO Han was not satisfied with that.
“A man should keep his promises. Oh my!” Chan
-sook grabbed the arm of CEO Han, who was yelling at her, asking if it was okay to make an adult wait like this, and hung on to him.
“Honey, let’s talk again tomorrow morning.”
“Let go! This!”
CEO Han quickly shook off Chan-sook’s grasping arm. He
ignored Chan-sook’s swaying and falling onto the bed, and walked over to the sofa.
“Just wait another week, and if she doesn’t contact me, I’ll go and visit her in person. This is it.”
Chan-sook’s birthday was coming up soon, so CEO Han laid down on the sofa, thinking that Ye-rin might show up.
That night, CEO Han had a dream.
He dreamed of receiving a large investment from Lee Hyun and running a big business again while making a fuss.

When Ye-rin was concentrating on her work in the empty office after everyone in the secretariat had left,
a message arrived from Mrs. Yoon.
[Is it uncomfortable for you to contact me so suddenly? I sent you a message because I wanted to get to know Ye-rin.]
Soon, another photo with an invitation to a famous designer’s fashion show arrived.
[It’s a private fashion show at Jiseok Department Store. It’s too lonely to go alone, but if you have time, do you want to go together? If you have a prior engagement that day, it’s really okay to decline.]
Following that, another girlish emoticon arrived.
It was a part where I could really feel her intention to make herself comfortable. She
had already planned to stop by the department store to buy a birthday present for her mother Chan-sook’s birthday next week.
After watching the fashion show with Mrs. Yoon, she thought she could go shopping, so Ye-rin quickly replied.
[Okay, ma’am. I’m really happy you asked me to go together.]
Ye-rin smiled at the message, but someone came over and knocked on the desk.
When she raised her head, she saw Lee Hyun, who had just finished a meeting.
“Are you done with the meeting?”
“Yes. Meetings aren’t fun anymore. I can’t concentrate because I keep thinking about Han Ye-rin.”
Ye-rin laughed softly at those words, as if she couldn’t stop herself.
“Was there anything funny?”
This was a comment referring to Ye-rin laughing while looking at her phone.
Yerin, not keeping it a secret, mentioned the conversation she had with Mrs. Yoon.
“Your wife asked me to go with her to a private fashion show at Jiseok Department Store.”
“Just the two of us?”
“Oh, yes. The director didn’t say anything about me going with you either… …”
Lee Hyun let out a breath, looking quite shocked.
Every year, Mrs. Yoon would accompany Lee Hyun to that event, so it was natural for her to be so embarrassed.
But if you tell her that story, Yerin will probably say sorry and not go.
“Isn’t your mother bothering you too much?”
“No, absolutely not!”
In fact, she really liked watching these fashion shows, but she didn’t have many opportunities to attend them.
That’s why Yerin was so grateful for Mrs. Yoon’s offer.
“If you keep bothering me, feel free to sneak a peek at me.”
“Yes, I will.”
Lee Hyun already felt like he had his girlfriend stolen from him.
Of course, it was much better than openly opposing their relationship.

Lee Hyun was checking the CCTV footage of the KK Foods founding ceremony that Hyun Joon had brought in his office.
“Kwak Seo-yoon pulled a secretary and staggered, and the CCTV footage even showed her body falling toward the pool and intentionally letting go of her hand.”
There were bright lights installed above the pool, so even though it was dark at night, all of their actions were recorded on the CCTV.
“What are you going to do now? “I’ve already reserved a dinner with Assemblyman Kwak, as you requested, tonight.”
Lee Hyun responded without hesitation to Hyun Joon’s words.
“Warning him didn’t work, so now I’ll have to threaten him.”
He had told Seo Yoon the same thing over and over again, but he wouldn’t listen, so he had no choice but to talk to Assemblyman Kwak himself.
He had heard that Assemblyman Kwak’s image as a doting daughter was a fabrication, so it was a choice he could make.
On the day of the KK Foods founding ceremony, after rescuing Yerin from the pool, he had also deliberately mentioned Assemblyman Kwak to Seo Yoon to confirm that.
As Lee Hyun had expected, Seo Yoon looked unusually agitated, and he was certain.
“Then, shall we start now?”
He couldn’t tolerate anyone touching his woman.
He was going to build a completely safe fence and build a huge palace inside it.
“Yes, Chief. I’ll go with you.” As they
were going down to the parking lot, Hyun Joon asked a question.
“But since when have you been so close with Secretary Han? No, I didn’t know that the chief was such a frivolous man.”
“Frivolous?”
Lee Hyun tilted his head as if to ask what he was talking about.
“No, you clearly asked a secretary to find your first love that you met at a party. Why are you dating a secretary instead of looking for that woman?”
Hyun Joon shook his head as if he really didn’t understand.
“Oh, that.”
After listening to Hyun Joon’s story, he thought that misunderstandings like that could happen.
Lee Hyun was about to say that the woman and Yerin were the same person, but he stopped himself.
If he found out, Hyun Joon would be able to sense every little detail of their secret private life.
“Secretary Choi really is slow-witted.”
“Chief! You’ve been saying that I’m slow-witted for a while now, but it’s not true, is it?”
“Okay, let’s just say that.”
The road to meet Assemblyman Kwak was surprisingly pleasant.
***
Assemblyman Kwak arrived at the quiet Japanese restaurant first and was waiting for Lee Hyun.
At the appointed time, Lee Hyun appeared.
“Hey, you’re here. Chief Cha Hyun.”
He had been very busy recently, traveling around the country to gain public support, but since Lee Hyun was the one who wanted to meet him, Assemblyman Kwak readily agreed. He
had become quite close with Seo Yoon, so he was thinking of formally confiding in me.
He was under the illusion that
he would have a drink with her. “Would you like a drink?”
“No. I have a place to stop by, so I don’t think I can drink.”
“Hey, okay.”
Only Assemblyman Kwak’s glass was filled with clear alcohol.
After picking up a piece of the deliciously presented raw fish and putting it in his mouth, Assemblyman Kwak blurted out.
“Actually, I was a bit surprised that Chief Cha asked to meet me first.”
“I guess that’s too early to be surprised.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Lee Hyun held out the tablet PC he had brought in front of Assemblyman Kwak.
“What is this?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
When Lee Hyun touched the tablet PC screen, a video started playing.
“Huh?”
He found two familiar figures on the screen and brought his face closer to Rep. Kwak, pushing up his glasses.
Plop-
The sound flowed out of the video, and Rep. Kwak stared at it for a long time without saying a word.
After the video ended, Lee Hyun took the tablet PC with a blank expression on his face.
“As you can see, Rep. Kwak’s daughter drowned my girlfriend.”
“I, wasn’t that an accident?”
“It might have been like that at first, but from the moment she let go, it became intentional.”
“Hmm.”
Rep. Kwak filled his empty glass by himself as if his throat was burning, and quickly emptied it.
“You have to be even more careful, especially since it’s election time soon.”
“Tell me what you want to say first.”
“I want you to make it so I don’t have to see your daughter’s face anymore.” Rep
. Kwak’s face turned red at the blatant request.
“Are you sure you won’t regret saying that?”
The corners of Lee Hyun’s mouth went up with great confidence at those words.
“Yes, of course.”
His answer came without a shred of hesitation.
