The restaurant that Seojun received from Hyunseo was a high-end Korean restaurant in a quiet and secluded neighborhood.

‘Old man’s taste.’

I remember her having mature tastes since she was young.

Chairman Kang Seok-ho and the siblings’ mother also looked at Hyeon-seo with wonder.

“Go in and wait.”

When I arrived and parked my car and came to the front of the restaurant, I saw Hyeonseo waiting without going inside.

“Oh, I was smoking a cigarette. You weren’t waiting.”

There was a separate smoking area in front of the restaurant, and although I had forgotten about it, Hyeonseo was a fairly old smoker.

“I thought I quit because I couldn’t smell it, but didn’t I?”

“Yes, changed to dedicated.”

In the past, Seojun had commented on the smell of a cigarette when he was in the thick of it, but after that, Hyeonseo switched to an electronic cigarette because he was bothered by the smell.

Of course, I had no intention of quitting smoking.

“Still, it doesn’t smell?”

“Is the smell a problem? Smoking itself is bad for your health.”

“Ugh, they look at kids like you and call them young old guys.”

“No, it’s a fact that cigarettes are bad for your health, lady.”

“What did you say, you crazy person?”

Hyeonseo was a person who used quite harsh wording.

“…I’m sorry.”

“Ajumma is a taboo word.”

“..I heard that only fat ladies react like that.”

“You mean you want to fall behind?”

As there was a big age difference, he was the younger brother whom I raised on my back, but when I saw him at times like this, he was truly obnoxious.

“Let’s go in quickly.”

When Seojun finally gave up first, Hyunseo had no choice but to accept it and enter the restaurant together.

“Welcome.”

As expected, it was a place that only businessmen, politicians, or older people from conglomerates would visit, and from inside, all the employees lined up and bowed to the two people.

“…”

Hyunseo looked very natural as she often goes to places like this, but Seojun looked very uncomfortable.

“Look at the expression. Haven’t you been to a place like this since you were young?”

When I was young, I often went to restaurants like this with my parents and grandfather, Kang Seok-ho.

At that time, Seojun only remembered feeling very dissatisfied.

This was especially true since I was young and certainly not old enough to like Korean food.

“Ugh, no, whatever. Every time a guest comes, they go out like that and say hello to everyone?”

“Is that so? It’s just because we are.”

It was natural for the restaurant to go into high gear upon hearing that the granddaughter and grandson of Chairman Kang Seok-ho, who still charismatically controls the leading conglomerate Sogang, is coming.

“I will take you this way.”

Seojun actually felt burdened by his overly friendly attitude.

“Do you know that you really aren’t the grandson of a chaebol family?”

After my mother passed away, I lived in a dormitory since I was in middle school, and even though I received pocket money, I didn’t use it at all and just kept it in my bank account.

In fact, when I was a student, there were more people who had no idea that Seojun was a master of the Sogang Group.

Is that why?

Seojun didn’t really get the feeling of a chaebol family that the others did.

Of course, the charisma that came out when I dressed up properly or treated people didn’t go away, but when I dressed casually like this, I felt like I was just a local boy.

“Wherever you go, dress well. Don’t you have money or something?”

“It’s annoying. How comfortable is it to wear this? Sister, aren’t you tired when you come to see your brother and go to the store dressed up like that?”

Although she was just coming to the cafe to meet Seojun, Hyunseo clearly looked like she went to the shop and got set up.

“I didn’t do it because I was coming to see you.”

In fact, the setting itself was given to handle the work part that took place before Seojun called, but even if that didn’t actually happen, it was clear that he would have decorated it to some extent.

“And if someone as famous as me walks around sloppily, that’s also a problem.”

Seojun felt like he was living comfortably because his face was not yet well known, but Hyunseo was a little different.

Since I have been exposed to the media since I was young, I had to show myself maintaining a certain level of dignity.

“You can’t stain grandpa’s face.”

“If I go around like this, will I be dishonored?”

“Honestly, if I told you that the grandson of a chaebol family would go around like that, there would be a lot of people who would say something.”

“Truly, even the remote areas are spacious.”

Seojun, who was ushered into a quiet and private room and sat down, thought that being a second- or third-generation member of a chaebol family must be very tiring.

In fact, there was a part of me that did not want to inherit the position of chairman.

He was a person who wanted to live freely.

“So. Tell me what happened. Isn’t that enough to talk about here?”

Seojun thought it was strange that he only came to eat.

It seemed like Hyunseo wanted to hear stories about things she was curious about.

“Oh, why do you keep asking so annoyingly.”

“ Hey, I’m not going to help you with anything I need to know.”

“I have no intention of getting help from you. I’ll do it alone.”

Such a scene could not help but be very frustrating to Hyeonseo.

I’m going to use everything I can to get to the top with my own strength, as if I’m just heading to the ground.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t know Seojun’s abilities.

Among the river people, he had the greatest ability.

However, the position of chairman of a company inevitably required the help of personal connections.

“Do you really think you can do it on your own?”

“Yes.”

But Seojun was confident.

I am confident that if I use my abilities and the abilities I gained through awakening as a hunter in a good combination, I can rise to the position I want without anyone’s help.

“Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything once the situation gets better.”

“When is that?”

“When your father comes down from his seat?”

Hyun-seo knew well that Kang San-ho would be Seo-jun’s biggest obstacle.

But still, he looked a little surprised because he didn’t expect to say it so openly.

“It’s quite authentic.”

“Yes, father has to clean up. I can’t see people with no ability taking up positions.”

Chairman Kang Seok-ho was a very cold person, but he was actually a very warm person to his family.

Even if he pretended not to, all of those things were revealed in his attitude.

“Grandpa may be aware of it to some extent, but in the end, he won’t be able to cut it off.”

“The fact that Grandpa doesn’t cut it doesn’t mean he has that level of ability?”

The two people’s thoughts were slightly different.

“You must have the ability. If I didn’t have the ability, my grandfather would have been fired a long time ago.”

They were only spending money, hanging out with bad lawmakers, and ruining the company’s image.

In the first place, this was not very good in terms of image rather than ability.

“But my father does not have the ability to rise to the position of chairman, and he is the main culprit that is ruining the company’s image.”

It would have been easiest if Kang Seok-ho would cut it out, but in any case, Kang San-ho was like Kang Seok-ho’s sore finger.

“If grandpa can’t do it, I’ll have to cut it off.”

Hyunseo looked at Seojun, who had made up his mind, with a curious expression.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you like this.”

When I was young, before my mother passed away, I was an ambitious child.

But because it was such an old story, in fact, seeing Seojun like this was touching for Hyunseo.

“Okay, try hard.”

So I just thought I wanted to support them.

No matter what she did, it was a natural feeling for Hyun-seo, who cared for Seo-jun and always watched over him.

But I couldn’t help but feel that it would be better to take a slightly easier path.

“Anyway, I can use it whenever I need it.”

I thought that I would gladly be used even if it meant using myself.

“Thank you. But that won’t happen.”

It definitely could have been a little easier if I got help from my older sister.

But I thought it was meaningless if I didn’t achieve it entirely on my own.

“Wow, that damn stubbornness.”

“I’m a bit like that.”

“It’s not a compliment.”

After listening to Hyeonseo’s grumbles, the food began to be set up one by one.

“Ah, I really didn’t like taking the course like this. It’s tantalizing.”

“Wow, that’s lame. This is trendy these days. Don’t you know omakase?”

“I think this is a little different from that. And when did the omakase trend last? You’re old so you don’t know?”

The two returned to being normal siblings and showed off their affection for each other.

“You fell behind, today.”

“Yeah, try killing him~”

The two of them were able to start eating only after giving Seojun, who was behaving obnoxiously, a slap on the head.

Still, the fact that Seo-jun is the only one in the family who relies on Hyun-seo was actually shown through these appearances.
