219. Stop it?
Hoyoung originally had a personality that was not easily embarrassed.
It was like that before the regression, but even more so after returning to the past.
He was the type to move on after fully thinking about a solution if there was a problem or obstacle to overcome.
If you give it enough time, the solution will come out.
‘By the way, what should I do in this case?’
First of all, to Sumin, ‘Oh? okay? I’m so happy too.’ Ho-yeong hung up the phone and felt that her head wasn’t working properly for the first time in a while.
Of course, I know in my head what to do.
It would be best to be willing to meet her father and score points by doing something that would impress him.
But for some reason, Hoyoung felt a complicated feeling.
“Now is the time…”
Hoyoung looked at his watch.
The current time is 11:00 PM.
I know it’s not polite to call them out at this time, but…
Hoyeong took out her phone and called Lee Jinchan.
“Senior, I’m really sorry, but can you come out now?”
.
.
.
“ruler. So. I’ll just tell you the gist. If you see Sumin now, ah! I want to marry this woman This woman is my life partner! When the moment comes, then…!”
“What about then?”
“You have to get through that moment well, I mean!”
About 30 minutes later, Hoyoung was drinking soju over udon noodles at a food stall close to Lee Jinchan.
I could have gone to a better bar or bar, but Lee Jin-chan’s strong insistence brought me here.
From the moment Lee Jin-chan heard that Su-min’s father wanted to see Ho-young, he was in the middle of a long speech.
“haha. Is your marriage that hard?”
“You should get married too. You have to notice your parents, notice your in-laws, and even notice your wife at home. If you earn money, do you think it’s all my money like now?”
Lee Jin-chan was usually talkative, but today he was even more talkative.
He could still be called a newlywed, but he seemed to have a lot to say.
“The most important thing is that it is difficult to have a drink comfortably until late at night. Do you know how sensible you are to leave home alone and go out for a drink?”
“Then how did you come out today?”
“today? hahaha Today is the day your sister-in-law is filming a drama, but I got a call earlier saying that the filming will be delayed. I called Jin-taek and Gyeong-tae, but they said they couldn’t come because there was something they had to update until next week, and Ju-jeong said she was in Japan?”
“Ah, I sent it because I had something to send. But why didn’t you call me?”
Lee Jin-chan gave Ho-yeong a slight glance and continued.
“Have you ever come out even once when I usually ask the two of you to have a drink!”
“ah···. Didn’t you?”
“Have you not? At least four or five of us came out, but the two of us have never drank.”
“Sorry.”
“Ugh···. I’m sorry. Still, seeing that you call me even when things like this happen, I think you think of me as your older brother- I did. Sorry, you buy me a drink!”
Lee Jin-chan said and smiled.
Hoyoung seemed to feel his heart somehow.
Hoyoung seemed to be able to understand that the fact that he was making a fuss today also contained his consideration to distract Hoyoung.
“thanks. brother.”
“If you’re grateful, buy a drink!”
The two of them laughed at Lee Jin-chan’s joke.
“To be honest, I don’t think I’m calling you with marriage in mind right now. However, you probably want to see who the moon meets. You should fully understand the feelings of a father who has a daughter.”
Hoyoung nodded.
Talking with Lee Jin-chan, he was able to organize his thoughts to some extent.
Meeting Sumin’s father wasn’t so disquieting.
Until now, I just like Hoyeong and Sumin, so I’m dating.
However, beyond that, it was a wide-ranging concern about whether to seriously meet Ho-young and Su-min, thinking about marriage.
“Senior, when did you think you would marry your sister-in-law?”
“me? I have nothing wrong. When we went out together, your sister-in-law made curry and rice for breakfast.”
“Curry? Senior, you don’t eat curry.”
Hoyoung thought of Lee Jinchan’s usual eating habits and asked him back.
Lee Jin-chan didn’t cover much, but unusually, he didn’t eat curry.
Its unique scent is so strong.
“right. But if my girlfriend gives it to me, can I not eat it? So I had no choice but to take a bite.”
“haha. Did you?”
“By the way···. It was delicious. It wasn’t enough that I emptied the entire bowl that day, so I ate another bowl.”
Lee Jin-chan’s face was smiling without my knowledge.
Hoyoung found it both funny and strange.
“I like the senior’s expression.”
“me?! Did I put on a good face? Gee, I shouldn’t have eaten that curry then!”
Hoyoung and Lee Jinchan met eyes once and then giggled.
“Ho Young-ah. here’s my idea Of course, Sumin and you can meet and get married, or you can break up. But in the middle of meeting now, what is the need to meet after deciding whether or not to get married? If you just meet well and become meant to be, you get married, otherwise you can break up. In today’s world.”
“thanks. senior. It helped me a lot.”
“What help?”
Lee Jin-chan tapped Ho-young on the shoulder.
In many ways, it must be the desire to encourage Hoyoung, a junior.
Brilliant-
Just then, Lee Jin-chan’s cell phone rang.
“hello? honey? why?”
Looking at the reaction, it seemed to be Kim Mi-ae’s phone.
Lee Jin-chan looked like he was slightly drunk, but he seemed to have come to his senses.
“Is it over already? why? Ahaha. Did the shooting go smoothly? okay. Director Kim is taking you today? So, can you come in 30 minutes? Okay. I will wait.”
“why. Is your sister-in-law coming home now?”
“Gosh. okay. I took a long time to shoot because I thought there would be a lot of NGs because of the new actor, but he said that the new actor acted so well that it ended like roasting beans in lightning.”
Lee Jin-chan said, licking his lips, as if he was very sorry.
“haha. Today, that’s all I’m going to do. What. Talk to your sister-in-law next time and set up a date.”
“okay. Next time, I’ll have to make an appointment and come out.”
“Will it happen?”
“OK.”
Hoyoung and Lee Jinchan stood up, paid their bills, and left the food stall.
“Anyway, thank you very much for today.”
“Thank you for what. Anyway, think carefully Hoyoung-ah. please!!”
“yes. Please go in.”
After a short greeting, the two started walking in different directions starting from the food stall.
“hello? no. What do you want to eat? You want to eat strawberries tonight?”
Hearing Jinchan Lee’s voice, I glanced back and saw that Jinchan Lee had called Kim Mi-ae, saying something into the phone and gradually disappearing.
Hoyoung looked at him quietly.
Lee Jin-chan’s back was not just returning home.
Pleasant-looking steps that seem to lead back to his home, not home.
In fact, Hoyoung knew.
On the face of Lee Jin-chan, who joked that he would die because of his difficult marriage, happiness that was difficult to hide was embedded in many places.
And now his back, disappearing at the entrance of the alley, was overflowing with happiness.

that weekend.
He told her to take out the bullhorn at once, so Hoyeong and Sumin went to her house.
With a box of premium juice from the supermarket in hand.
He thought about buying a better brand name or wild ginseng, but Ho-yeong took the most ordinary one at Jin-chan’s dissuade, saying that he had to think about the recipient.
Sumin’s parents lived very close to Hoyeong’s house.
Air Force Apartment in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do.
Her father was a soldier.
Contrary to Hoyoung’s worries, Sumin’s father had a kind smile despite being a soldier.
Army in the middle of the conversation? To the question, ‘I am exempted from military service…’ His face hardened for a moment at the answer, but soon he smiled and said, ‘It’s a good ability recognized by the country.’
A harmonious family that is not extremely generous, but is not lacking either.
How much Ha Su-min was loved by her family and grew up, Ho-young knew immediately after meeting her parents.
That’s why it was Hoyoung who thought that Ha Su-min might have grown up without wrinkles.
Ho-young, who had a pleasant (?) dinner by barely putting all the delicacies prepared by her mother into her stomach, said that she would come again next time. He said that he would like to see him often and left Sumin’s house.
“Was it hard? My mom gave it to me so that I could eat all that much rice. How else did you eat all of that?”
Sumin, who had grown closer to Hoyeong, talked a lot with Hoyeong.
Hoyoung still couldn’t figure out how to hide such a talkative personality when he first met him.
“Nope. nice It was so good. My father is so cool, and my mother is such a nice person. The rice was so delicious that I ate too much in a long time.”
Hoyoung said and stroked Sumin’s hair.
“Do you want to meet my parents next time?”
“really? I want to meet you soon too. By the way···. Will you like me?”
“Why are you?”
“no···. What if you hate me for being different?”
“ha ha ha! This isn’t even the 80’s, who would think that? Shall I tell you a secret?”
“What?”
“I couldn’t believe it when I heard from my mother, but my father already said that he would video record himself when he appeared on TV. When I see you, you are already loved.”
“really? Good luck then.”
Sumin laughed out loud.
Hoyoung’s smile was cute and he hugged her tightly.
“I wish I was a little less busy.”
Hoyoung is working for the first time at this moment. I even felt that I liked the present with Sumin better than coding.
‘The senior told me to pass this moment well.’
Hoyeong recalled Jinchan’s words and laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
“me? just. I like it.”
Hoyoung’s words were sincere.
.
.
.
Hoyoung, who had a happy time, returned to work with a little more strength.
March is coming soon.
‘The Sammi Group goes bankrupt in March.’
Of course, it may change a little because of the past that Hoyoung slightly twisted, but looking at the situation of the Hanbo Group, it seemed that it would still be the same.
‘Sammi Group is also a company that collapses due to internal rather than external causes. The biggest reason is that excessive business expansion that relied on debt collapsed.’
Hoyeong slowly began to organize the Sammi Group.
‘I don’t know about other businesses, but special steel alone is currently one of the companies with the best technology in Korea. It’s well worth taking over.’
Hoyoung was convinced that synergies would be created by acquiring Sammi Specialty Steel and tying it up with Hanbo Steel, which would soon be taken over by Myungsung Group.
Although it would take a lot of money and time for the two companies to normalize, Ho-young was not worried much because Gaia Investment, which is earning money like a flower that does not dry, is holding up well.
‘Hanbo and Sammi are just a signal that announces the beginning of a full-fledged start.’
Hoyoung had a hunch that 1997 would be a long, long year.
However, he also had a strong premonition that if he spent 1997 well, he would make great progress.
