[Episode 102] The nature hidden in the mask
Kang Eung-ryong, whose relationship with Shin Ae-ra is completely offended, came into the house and threw the phone strongly.
I stared at Kang-jun, who sat on the sofa and looked at the TV.
“What the hell are you doing right?”
“… Why are you all of a sudden again?”
Although he was famous for being naughty outside, Kang-jun couldn’t do it at home.
All the wealth and position he now holds belonged to Kang Eung-ryong in the first place.
It was thanks to Kang Eung-ryong that he was able to be in the position of CEO.
“You can’t bring down even that innocent child, so you can make this Satan rise. If your guy had only properly roasted Aera, this wouldn’t have happened!”
“Why is his story here? No, I’m not part of it. I didn’t know you’d come back inside when you’re drunk.”
Kang Eung-ryong had a hard time pretending not to know.
Shin Ae-ra caught him as if he had never known the incident, but Kang Eung-ryong was behind Kang-jun’s actions.
She kept Shin Ae-ra by her side just because she was competent and worth using.
But one day, Kang Eung-ryong moved Kang-jun because of something he learned.
“Damn it! If you had attacked Ae-ra at that time and made her have children, the old man Shin Won-sun would have had no choice but to support me.”
“No, how do you get pregnant all at once? I am not a god!”
“At least I should have taken Ae-ra drunk and took a picture! Then I would have threatened him with a weapon. I didn’t know you were such an idiot who couldn’t properly follow any of my instructions.”
Kang Eung-ryong and Kang Joon did not blink an eye as they talked about dirty things.
At that time, if she had knocked down Shin Ae-ra properly, she could have forced her into her daughter-in-law.
It was an opportunity to get political support from Shin Won-seon’s in-laws.
It was Kang-jun who missed that golden opportunity.
“And due to Shin Ae-ra’s personality, even if she had a photo, she wouldn’t have left me alone.”
“That wasn’t your thing to worry about! I knew it was going to go smoothly.”
“How long do I have to act like this?”
“Think about it. If this father becomes president, you will have the title of the president’s son.”
“I know that, but… … .”
“Go ahead and pray right now. Bring Ae-ra so she can become my daughter-in-law somehow!”
“Do you think he will meet me?”
“Pray and make a seat. not. I’m going to make a place for Aera and I’ll have to do it straight this time.”
I couldn’t give up Shin Won-seon’s support like this.
If only Shin Ae-ra is there, she can even attract Inje-hu of that handsome prince group to her side.
Somehow, I had to win Shin Ae-ra’s heart again.
Be it intimidation or whatever form it takes.
Kang-jun sighed.
“Whoa, I see. Please make room.”
“Prepare properly. It’s okay to mobilize people, so I’ll make this work unconditionally.”
“I know.”
He thought he still had a chance.
Even though she and Shin Ae-ra were at odds, she would still look good to her.
I had to prepare to catch a giant named Shin Won-seon behind Shin Ae-ra once again with a caring image hidden behind a mask.
‘Well, it’s not bad for me either. If I could have the half-hearted Shin Ae-ra as my wife, there is nothing more I could wish for.’
As Kang Eung-ryong entered the room, Kang-jun, who remained in the living room, grinned.
To be honest, Shin Ae-ra had a good background, but her appearance and face were the best.
* * *
“Whew… Whoops… … .”
After meeting Shin Ae-ra, Lee Si-woo, who entered the container at the headquarters, took a shower and entered the room.
Doing push-ups, I blew away my alcohol and sweated.
“I should have exercised and showered.”
After filling the target amount of exercise, the door was wide open.
When I decided to become an actor, I even went to an action school to exercise.
Siwoo Lee thought that action was essential for an actor.
And I also thought that in order to become a good actor, you should refrain from using a double as much as possible.
There was no place to give a new actor a double.
He has strengthened his capabilities as an actor while preparing in advance.
Of course, those efforts are now in vain, but the movement has not stopped.
Drenched in sweat, I took a shower and went back to my room.
It’s been a long time since I’ve spent a day here.
When Siwoo Lee moved to the shredding plant, the landscape of the headquarters changed a lot.
But there was one thing that never changed.
right here.
This container, where he lived with Lee Do-woon, remained the same.
Lee Seok-jun, the manager of this place, made sure that the employees were not allowed to enter the place without permission.
Lee Seok-jun did the cleaning himself rather than having the staff do the cleaning.
The next day, Si-woo Lee got up from his seat with a messy appearance and washed.
At 7 a.m., I saw Lee Seok-jun coming in with the door open.
“CEO!”
Lee Seok-jun was surprised to see Lee Si-woo as if he had spent a day at the headquarters.
“CEO!”
“Are you here early?”
“Now that the CEO is not at the headquarters, I have to open the door early, so I go to work early.”
Like Siwoo Lee, Seokjun Lee opened the junkyard door faster than the other employees.
At the first hearing, Siwoo looked at him.
“You just have to come on time for work just like other employees. If that’s the case, I’m sorry for this manager.”
“You don’t have to be sorry. It’s something I love to do.”
As the head of the headquarters, Seok-Jun Lee tried to imitate what Si-Woo Lee did.
Even if Siwoo Lee didn’t recognize him, I wanted to show his mature image as a person in charge.
“It was fortunate that the head office was entrusted to Manager Lee.”
“Are you sleeping here?”
“yes. I’m drinking at the pub. You don’t have to go to the shredder until you have to pay the agency fee. This is also my home.”
“Oh, I heard from the deputy chief. Ae-ra Shin, a public official, has become Kang Dong’s new boss.”
“That’s how it happened. Whoa.”
“Your heart will be complicated.”
In fact, there was no reason for Siwoo Lee to be complicated.
However, Moon Jae-shin confirmed that the two of them did not reveal their feelings to each other and that they were dating.
“Am I?”
“Weren’t you maintaining a good relationship with CEO Shin Ae-ra? That’s what the deputy chief said. We’re not dating, but it’s safe to say we’re dating.”
At Lee Seok-jun’s words, Lee Si-woo scratched his head and grinned.
“It’s just the vice president’s thoughts. My relationship with Ae-ra noona is just like a younger sister.”
“Do you really think so?”
“And right now, I’m not relaxed enough to be dating.”
“If you find a good relationship, you have to catch it. When I met my wife too, I felt ‘this is this person’, so I corrected it.”
“It’s too hard to even date. I wish I had two bodies. I won’t be able to see you often as my sister becomes Kang Dong’s president.”
* * *
But that was Siwoo’s mistake.
Siwoo Lee was sitting blankly in the office.
From that moment on, he was just staring at his cell phone.
woo woo-
When the cell phone rang, Siwoo Lee quickly answered the call.
[Were you waiting for my call?]
“… no. I was just looking at my phone.”
[You know that your voice shakes when you lie? There should be a taste that makes people bounce a little.]
“Don’t be kidding. What’s going on?”
[come out. I have arrived in front of the shredder now.]
“yes? now?”
[I’ll wait just 30 minutes. If you don’t come, will you just go?]
With that said, Si-woo immediately hung up the phone, got out of the office and quickly changed clothes.
And there was Kim Jeong-nan, who looked at it with sad eyes.
“Jeong Nan-ah, will you stop giving up now?”
“I told you not to call me by my first name, Ji Hyun-soo.”
As soon as the dormitory was completed, Ji Hyeon-soo, an employee who moved in faster than anyone else, offered coffee and smiled.
“Yeah, you’re only one year older than me.”
“A year older is a lot, isn’t it?”
“I’m comfortable with this… I think the CEO has made up his mind now, so don’t grieve alone.”
“… I do it myself.”
Yesterday too, she fell asleep while waiting for Si-woo Lee, who stayed overnight.
Kim Jung-nan did not want to let go of his unrequited love Lee Si-woo.
It is funny to compare herself to Shin Ae-ra, but I believed that if she showed her pure love, she would one day be interested.
However, as Shin Ae-ra became Kang Dong’s president yesterday, Kim Jung-nan felt a wall he could not overcome.
“You slept late yesterday while waiting for the CEO.”
“… How do you know that?”
“yes? Oh, I saw you outside for a while.”
Ji Hyun-soo turned his head and scratched his head.
Kim Jong-nan sighed deeply at his appearance, which was different from his usual appearance.
and asked him.
“ha… Hyunsoo, am I that bad as a woman?”
Kim Jeong-nan leaned his face in and turned Ji Hyun-soo’s head with his hand.
As I worked in the field, my personality became rough and I became less talkative.
So she wondered if she was unattractive as a woman.
On the other hand, Ji Hyun-soo blushed and turned his head in haste.
“As a woman, I am not very good. You’re pretty and you’re strong.”
“tooth. Why is the competitor Shin Ae-ra CEO? He is someone who cannot be compared to me.”
“Who is it? In my eyes, my older sister is more… … .”
Ji Hyeon-soo, who revealed his inner feelings without knowing it, stopped talking and got up from his seat.
“… Are you Hyunsoo?”
“I’m in! Don’t wait too long. And it’s all for my sister. Give up now.”
Ji Hyeon-soo rushed to the dormitory like someone being chased by something.
Kim Jeong-nan, who looked at him, gave a blank expression.
* * *
Two people walking on the street.
Lee Si-woo smiled brightly and picked up the petals that fell on Shin Ae-ra’s head.
“It’s spring now.”
“I know. Time goes by so quickly.”
“It’s cherry blossom season, so I want to go flower viewing.”
“Are you doing flower viewing right now?”
“If you go up the Yongin amusement park, there is an art museum. If I remember often, my father and I went to play around the time the cherry blossoms were blooming. The view there was so good.”
“Then shall we go together this weekend?”
Lee Si-woo’s face was stained with a sudden request for a date.
I quickly turned my head and looked at the flowers twinkling with the lights.
“sister.”
“yes? why?”
“When other people see me, what do you and I look like?”
“At least they won’t look like friends or siblings. Shiu-ya, look into my eyes.”
Shin Ae-ra no longer tried to hide her feelings.
At her words, Siwoo turned his head and met his eyes.
“Why eyes?”
“What kind of emotions do you have in the way I look at you? When a third person sees my eyes, are they emotionless or are they dripping with affection?”
“Yeah… … .”
“Probably the latter.”
Si-woo Lee scratched his head as she smiled brightly and spoke honestly about her feelings.
“Then what do my eyes look like when others see me?”
“I think it’s the eyes of an indecisive man who can neither do this nor that?”
“… To be honest, I am confused.”
“Why don’t you be more honest with your feelings? like me.”
At Shin Ae-ra’s words, Lee Si-woo showed a playful sense of humor.
“I can’t afford to worry about other things because I’m in business?”
“A pretty and kind older lady is aggressively approaching me, but are you going to reject me because I can’t afford it?”
“I admit that I have an active association, but wouldn’t it be a bit unfair to say that I am pretty and kind with my own words?”
“Ugh, there is no mood. How did I come to love you so much?”
To be honest, Siwoo Lee’s remarks just weren’t good.
If another woman had heard of it, I might have fallen in love right away.
But Shin Ae-ra liked even his appearance.
“yes? what… … .”
Slowly—
side-
Shin Ae-ra grabbed Lee Si-woo’s arm, who was bewildered when he said that he liked him.
Then he immediately kissed him on the cheek.
Shin Ae-ra smiled at Lee Si-woo, who couldn’t remember what had happened.
“It’s a punishment for saying something wrong.”
“sister… … .”
“You and I, aren’t we comfortable with each other? Now that I am old enough to be called an old virgin, there is no need to tremble.”
At Shin Ae-ra’s aggressive words, Lee Si-woo put a blank expression on her face.
“Spring has come. It’s great. Is not it?”
“… good.”
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
The appearance of two people full of brilliance.
Pedestrians passing by the street looked at the two men and women with envy.
But the man watching them from afar had other thoughts.
“It’s very skinny. You look so happy that you want to ruin it, don’t you?”
Kang-jun, who was watching Shin Ae-ra in the heavily tinted car, sharpened his teeth.
That woman should be hers now.
Even for Kang Eung-ryong, he was someone I had to catch unconditionally.
“Will the kids move, sir?”
“Don’t ask for the obvious, Secretary Kim.”
“sorry.”
“Now, this is the only method left in my father’s yard. You have to force yourself to take it. I never let go of what I want. know?”
“I know.”
“Heh, how would it be if I could make that woman mine?”
“Aren’t the background, face, and abilities all good? She’s the perfect woman to be the president’s wife.”
“Never fail. When Shin Ae-ra’s side is the only one who’s corrupt, she has to succeed.”
“I will unconditionally make it successful even for the governor.”
