#79. May Today’s Tears Become Tomorrow’s Smiles
2024.03.01.
Assemblyman Kwak once again fixed his gaze on the video that Lee Hyun had shown him.
“If the child in this video is the Han Ye-rin I know, then you are making a mistake. That child’s family is… … .”
Lee Hyun cut off Assemblyman Kwak’s words.
“It seems that father and daughter are very similar in that they like to gossip about others.”
Assemblyman Kwak shut his mouth tightly at those words.
“I have politely told your daughter several times that I will refuse, but she didn’t seem to understand, so I asked to meet you in person today.”
Assemblyman Kwak’s face turned very red.
Seo Yoon had clearly said that things were going well since their last blind date, so it was even more absurd.
“If your daughter keeps showing up in front of me like a stalker, I will release this video on the Internet. You know what kind of repercussions that will cause.”
Since Rep. Kwak was aiming for the next presidential election, he had to be more careful about his image than anyone else.
The biggest risk was a family scandal.
It was a moment when he really resented his daughter, who was like a rugby ball that could bounce anywhere.
He had nagged her so much to behave properly, but it had been so useless.
Rep. Kwak soon gave up and opened his mouth.
“Yes, I know what you’re talking about. You shouldn’t regret telling me this story today.”
“Of course. There’s no need for that.”
Rep. Kwak got up first.
Contrary to his excitement before coming here, he was in the worst mood.
***
Arriving home, Rep. Kwak knocked on Seo-yoon’s door.
After a while, the door opened and Seo-yoon peeked out.
“Dad?”
Rep.
Kwak, who had been inside the room, couldn’t suppress the anger that had been building up inside him the whole way home and just slapped her.
Seo-yoon turned her head to the left, and large tears fell from her eyes. Seo-
yoon slowly turned her head while covering her cheek that had been hit by Assemblyman Kwak with one hand.
Assemblyman Kwak was grumbling, as if his anger hadn’t subsided even after hitting Seo-yoon.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“What are you doing? That’s what I wanted to say.”
Seo-yoon instinctively felt as she watched Assemblyman Kwak raise his voice.
Lee Hyun had insisted on showing her the CCTV footage.
As expected, Ye-rin’s name came out of Assemblyman Kwak’s mouth.
“I really don’t understand. Why on earth did you attend the KK Foods founding ceremony, and why did you push Han Ye-rin into the swimming pool there?” She
didn’t like Assemblyman Kwak, who only listened to Lee Hyun’s words and said this without even listening to her own story.
“Dad, listen to me. That’s not… …”
“Shut up.”
Rep. Kwak raised one hand as if he didn’t want to hear Seo-yoon’s voice and made a gesture to stop.
“Do you know what I heard when I met Cha Yi-hyun today?”
Seo-yoon wiped away the tears streaming down her cheeks with the back of her hand.
Rep. Kwak didn’t seem to care about that and just kept saying what he wanted to say.
“I don’t want to see your face again.”
“… … .”
“Just give up your obsession. I’ll find you a better match.” When
Seo-yoon didn’t answer, Rep. Kwak frowned even more.
“Didn’t you hear me telling you to stop getting involved with Cha Yi-hyun?”
“Okay.”
After looking at Seo-yoon who answered obediently, Rep. Kwak left the room.
The door closed and Seo-yoon wiped away the tears that were falling down her face.
Seo-yoon glared at the door Rep. Kwak had left through and swallowed her anger.
“How is dad going to see my face later?”
The Jiseok Group, which had the largest capital in the country, was the company that could provide Rep. Kwak with a lot of political funds.
That’s why Rep. Kwak had once coveted the Jiseok Group.
At this point, he was even more jealous.
He had to marry Lee Hyun and see Rep. Kwak thanking him.
Since he was planning to target Mrs. Yoon and not Lee Hyun from now on, it wasn’t like he wouldn’t listen to Rep. Kwak’s request.
Seo Yoon was hoping more earnestly than ever that today’s tears would turn into tomorrow’s laughter.

Yerin had come down to the first floor of the villa after receiving a call from Lee Hyun.
A moment later, Lee Hyun’s car smoothly entered the villa.
The passenger window slid down and Lee Hyun’s voice could be heard.
“Han Ye-rin, shall we go for a drive?”
“Okay.”
As Ye-rin got into the passenger seat, Lee Hyun’s car quickly took off.
Lee Hyun’s car, which had been driving on a quiet road, stopped at a park with a good view of Seoul’s nightscape.
“The weather is nice today. Shall we take a walk?”
“Lee Hyun, aren’t you still feeling a little cold?”
Lee Hyun smiled brightly at Ye-rin’s concern.
“I’ve been feeling fine since that day. I think it’s probably thanks to the kiss I had with Han Ye-rin.”
Ye-rin blushed at those words. She
started to feel unnecessarily nervous when she thought that if she and Lee Hyun were in a closed space like the car, they might kiss again like that day.
So Ye-rin opened the car door first and got out.
The weather was neither hot nor cold, so the two of them started walking slowly.
“I just met with Assemblyman Kwak a little while ago.”
It seemed that he had really told Assemblyman Kwak about Seo-yoon letting go of his hand and letting him fall into the pool at the KK Foods founding ceremony.
“What did you say?”
“Kwak Seo-yoon warned me not to show up in front of you again.”
“Aren’t you avoiding Lee Hyun for no reason?”
Lee Hyun secretly clasped Ye-rin’s worried hand.
“I don’t want you to meet that woman and cause us any harm.”
Ye-rin slowly nodded her head after hearing Lee Hyun’s calm sincerity.
“I will protect you from anyone else from doing anything to Han Ye-rin in the future.”
Ye-rin knew all too well that it wasn’t just words.
“I will also be a great help to Lee Hyun.”
“It’s enough as it is.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The night breeze blowing gently enveloped them both in a pleasant mood.
***
Hye-jin, who went into the pantry to have a cup of coffee, read the message that arrived on her phone and bit her fingernails nervously.
It was a message from Seo-yoon.
[Isn’t there anything else you want to tell me about Chief Cha Hyun?]
Since Yerin mostly managed her personal schedule, there was no way for her to find out the details.
‘I should have gotten closer to Han Yerin.’
She always said harsh words because she was jealous of Lee Hyun
, who seemed to care about Yerin the most. She had a lot of worries about whether she should get close to Yerin now in order to do business with Seoyoon.
As Hyejin started the coffee machine, the pantry door opened just in time and Yerin appeared.
“Secretary Han, do you want some coffee?”
“I want to give the chief coffee.”
“Oh, really?”
In that short time, Hyejin quickly thought about it.
There was a way to find out without having to become close to Yerin.
It was to strengthen her relationship with Lee Hyun. A
big smile appeared on Hyejin’s lips as she thought about it.
“Secretary Han, I’ll give the chief coffee today. I just got off to have some coffee anyway.”
Anyway, it didn’t matter who delivered the coffee, but Yerin hesitated slightly because it seemed like she was ordering someone else to do her work.
Hyejin had already put cookies exclusively for Lee Hyun on the tray and put the freshly brewed coffee on top.
“Secretary Han, you’re already busy. I’ll take care of the director’s coffee from now on.”
“Uh, uh… …”
Before Yerin could say anything, Hyejin grabbed the tray and stormed out of the pantry.
***
Knock knock-
Lee Hyun checked the time and smiled.
10 AM. It was the time when Yerin always came to the director’s office with freshly brewed coffee.
“Come in.”
Lee Hyun slowly raised his head, thinking that he would hold Yerin for a long time with the excuse that he didn’t understand the documents she had organized.
However, the person who entered Lee Hyun’s field of vision was a completely unexpected person.
“What is it?”
Hyejin was suddenly standing where Yerin should have been.
Holding a tray of coffee and cookies.
Lee Hyun’s brow furrowed.
However, Hye Jin paid no attention to that and walked over to Lee Hyun’s desk with a bright smile.
“Where did Secretary Han go and Secretary Shin came?”
“Starting today, I’m going to bring the director coffee.”
Lee Hyun snickered as if he found that ridiculous.
“Secretary Shin Hye Jin, do your job well. Don’t do things you weren’t asked to do.”
“… … .”
Hye Jin didn’t know what to do as she received Lee Hyun’s cold gaze.
And then, looking at the steaming coffee, he let out a short sigh.
“Secretary Shin Hye-jin, it’s been quite some time since you’ve worked with me.”
“Yes, Chief. It’s been three years.”
“You don’t know what I like about coffee after three years?”
“Huh?”
Hye-jin stared at the steaming hot Americano with wide eyes.
“I don’t drink hot Americano.”
“Ah… … .”
She didn’t think about that because she was trying to move quickly just to see Lee Hyun.
Lee Hyun picked up the receiver, dialed the extension number, and spoke softly.
“Secretary Han, come in.”
Then, looking at Hye-jin, who was still standing there blankly, he spoke coldly again.
“Aren’t you going out?”
“I’m going out.”
Soon, the office door opened and Ye-rin came in.
Ye-rin also felt unnecessarily tense in the unusually cold atmosphere.
Hye-jin just carried the tray she had brought and went out.
Yerin bowed her head and apologized first.
“I’m sorry, Chief. I went to the break room to get some coffee and met Secretary Shin Hyejin. She left before I could say anything, so I didn’t have time to explain to you about your coffee preferences.”
Lee Hyun got up from his seat and walked around the long desk.
Then he slowly lifted Yerin’s face, which was bowed, up with one hand.
The two of them stared deeply into each other in the air.
