#93. Lee Hyun’s Love
2024.04.19.
It was a morning like any other.
Today, Lee Hyun had a breakfast meeting at Jinheonjae and was going to work, so the secretary’s office was empty.
“Secretary Choi, can I buy you a cup of coffee?”
Hyejin was trying to avoid doing any work while Lee Hyun was away.
Secretary Choi nodded, as if she had given up.
“Before you go down, send me the quarterly report I requested yesterday by email.”
“Yes, I understand.”
After writing the email excitedly, Hyejin checked something and shouted loudly.
“Wow, what is this?”
Secretary Choi frowned as he watched Hyejin fussing.
“What’s wrong, Secretary Shin.”
“Secretary Choi, were you dating the director?”
At that question, Secretary Choi’s pupils as well as Yerin’s fluttered.
Ahem- Secretary Choi cleared his throat and spoke.
“What are you talking about out of the blue?”
And at that moment, the secretary’s office phone started ringing at the same time.
She was completely out of it.
“Director, there’s a news article about your relationship!”
After hearing Hyejin, Yerin immediately logged onto the portal site.
“Is it real? What’s going on?”
Yerin froze when she saw the article that was as big as the portal site’s main page.
[Jiseok Group’s crown prince, Director Chaehyun, who is your public dating partner?]
The secretary’s office was in complete chaos.
Some people hurriedly answered the phone call, while others checked the article belatedly and covered their mouths in surprise after seeing the photo in the article.
“Yes, yes, we’ll check and get back to you.”
Seolgi hung up the phone and read the article again before speaking.
“Secretary Choi knew, right? Director, who is your relationship?”
“I don’t know either.”
Secretary Choi immediately pretended not to know.
“I’m so surprised by this photo. If they’re kissing like this in a park with lots of people, doesn’t that mean they’re really in a serious relationship?”
The woman’s face was mosaiced, but Secretary Choi could tell.
The other person was Yerin.
Yerin, the person concerned, was so flustered that she couldn’t say anything.
‘Who took this picture?’
But in fact, that question was useless.
Knowing that it was a park where anyone could pass by, she was the one who kissed Hyun without a plan.
It was a reckless act that she committed even though she knew that all eyes and ears were focused on Hyun.
At that time, she couldn’t even think about it because she only saw Hyun, so it was something she couldn’t regret now.
“But can you guess who the other woman is in this article?”
“Really?”
Yerin quickly came to her senses and scrolled down.
She worried that she might be mentioned, but it was a useless worry.
“I think I know who this woman is.”
Hyejin clapped her hands together, and the attention of the secretarial staff turned to her for a moment.

At the same time,
Seoyoon was talking to someone on the phone, smiling brightly as if she had everything in the world.
“Yes, reporter. Oh, did you see that article?”
Seo-yoon’s lips were raised high enough to fly into the sky at any moment as she smiled innocently on the phone.
“Chief Cha Hyun came to see my recital and became friends with me.”
– So the woman in the article is Seo-yoon?
Seo-yoon covered her mouth with one hand as if she had been waiting for that question and laughed heartily.
“Oh, if you ask me like this when you know so much, it’s hard for me to answer.”
Yes or no, because she didn’t answer accurately, the reporter who called asked even more curiously.
– Seo-yoon, don’t you trust me? I’ll just keep it to myself. I’m just too curious.
“I really can’t live. I’m telling you because you’re a reporter… … .”
Seo-yoon laughed as if she was so happy that she could die, dragging out her words.
Why had she taken a detour when she could have taken such an easy path?
“I did go to the park where the photo was taken that day.”
The woman in the photo wasn’t Seo-yoon, but there was nothing wrong with what she had just said.
He happened to come across Yerin and Lee Hyun on a date at a park he stopped by, and he secretly took a picture of the two just in case, but he didn’t expect it to be used like this.
However, the reporter completely misunderstood the fact that Seo-yoon was there, and he immediately assumed that the woman in the picture was her.
That’s understandable, because the content of the exclusive article was all reminiscent of Seo Yoon.
Last night, Seo Yoon anonymously reported a photo of a woman whose face was not clearly visible. She wrote a long introduction about the woman Lee Hyun was dating.
She was the daughter of a current member of the National Assembly, majored in the gayageum, and was a talented person with both intelligence and beauty.
Without even properly investigating, one media outlet reported it exclusively, and as a result, she was receiving such reasonable suspicions.
– That’s what the article said. If you’re the daughter of a three-term member of the National Assembly and majored in the gayageum, you’d be the only one. Right? And I saw a photo on Seo Yoon’s SNS.
“What photo?”
– Weren’t you in a public relationship? You posted a photo with Chief Chae Hyun.
“Oh, that one?”
The day Lee Hyun came to Seo Yoon’s gayageum recital, a photo taken to provoke Ye Rin could be used like this.
I was so happy I could go crazy.
“Reporter, but it’s not really confirmed by both families yet, so I can’t tell you more.”
– I know, I know. I’ll never let you get in trouble. Do you trust me?
“Of course, reporter. Please take care of me.”
After ending the call, Seo-yoon screamed in joy.
In fact, the process wasn’t important at all when doing something.
If the result was good, the process would be glorified no matter what.
In other words, no matter what method was used, as long as the desired goal was achieved, it didn’t
matter. It was hard to understand why he only thought of the easy way out now, which was to make the news public and then clean it up.
If he had first written an article about his fiancée, Lee Hyun wouldn’t have any other way to do anything.
The engagement between the two would have already become a fait accompli and articles would pour out.
Chairman Cha also wouldn’t have any intention of accepting his secretary Naburang as his daughter-in-law, so the likelihood that he would just push through the engagement was much higher.
In the end, the only one who was uncooperative with this marriage was Lee Hyun.
Seo Yoon knew all too well that Lee Hyun had changed his mind for a moment because of the nonsense he had said to his father, Assemblyman Kwak, but he still couldn’t let go of the Ji Seok Group.
If Lee Hyun revealed that the woman in the photo was Ye Rin, Seo Yoon planned to report that the two had an inappropriate sponsor relationship.
“We’ll go to hell together, then.”
A moment later.
The reporter who had spoken to Seo Yoon had published an article about the conversation with Lee Hyun’s fiancée, claiming it was an exclusive interview.
In the article, it became public knowledge that Lee Hyun’s fiancée was Seo Yoon.
***
A breakfast meeting was being held at Jin Heon Jae.
Today, Mrs. Yoon was not feeling well, so only Chairman Cha, Lee Hyun, and Soo Hyun were present.
While they were having breakfast, Chairman Cha’s secretary came rushing into the kitchen of Jin Heon Jae.
“Mr. Chairman, I think you should take a look at this.”
Chairman Cha frowned as soon as he saw the tablet PC his secretary had handed him.
Just seeing the provocative title, Chairman Cha got angry.
“What are you talking about in the morning?”
“I think you should check the photo and the content.”
The secretary slowly lowered the screen to show a photo of Lee Hyun kissing a woman in a park.
Chairman Cha slammed down the spoon he was holding and raised his voice.
“You’re crazy, you’re crazy!”
Lee Hyun had not yet checked the article and had no idea why Chairman Cha was acting like that.
“I think you should read this part.”
The paragraph the secretary showed was a part where he could infer the personal information of the woman in the photo.
Chairman Cha narrowed his eyes at the explanation that was somewhat different from what he had thought.
“What is this?”
“There are also articles about Chief Cha’s fiancée pouring out right now.”
At those words, Lee Hyun also belatedly took out his phone and logged onto the portal site.
He was surprised once by the article title and twice by the photo, and when he finally saw the mention of his fiancée that he didn’t even know about, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
Unlike Lee Hyun, Chairman Cha just laughed heartily as if it was funny.
“Things are going interestingly.”
Soo-hyun also checked the article from the side and clicked his tongue.
“What is this? Aren’t you seeing a secretary?”
“That’s right.”
“But the fiancée the article talks about is Kwak Seo-yoon.”
“So. What’s going on here?”
Lee Hyun was just dumbfounded.
The person Lee Hyun was kissing in the photo in the article was clearly Ye-rin, but why was the introduction about her aimed at Seo-yoon?
Chairman Cha laughed for a while and then turned to Lee Hyun.
“That’s a good thing. At this point, just… …”
Lee Hyun cut him off.
“Chairman, the woman in the photo in the article is not Kwak Seo-yoon.”
“Okay, let’s say that’s true. But what does that matter now?”
Chairman Cha’s eyes were shining even brighter than before.
“In fact, it’s a good thing for us. Let’s use this opportunity to drive a wedge in. In any case, both families were looking at your relationship positively.”
Lee Hyun made a very stern face.
“I have no such intentions, you know that.”
Chairman Cha shouted at Lee Hyun, who was still firmly expressing his opinion.
“Then are you really thinking of marrying that secretary, Naburang?”
“Didn’t you clearly say that you would inherit the Jiseok Group if you married whoever you were?”
“I told you to marry someone of your level, not to choose such an absurd person.”
Chairman Cha, whose face quickly turned red, added one more thing.
“Marry Ms. Seo Yoon, whom I recommended, and inherit the Jiseok Group. If you continue to see that secretary, there won’t be anything you can do.”
Lee Hyun asked with extremely calm eyes.
“Are those the only two options?”
“Yes.”
Chairman Cha also went hard, and Lee Hyun made his decision without hesitation.
He stood up and spoke in a low and deep voice that was easy on his ears.
“Then I will choose my woman.”
Everyone in the room’s mouths dropped open.
