“……”
Hye Su nudged him again.
“How about it? Do you want to marry our Hyun Seo?”
Hyun Seo, his face flushed, met Do Ha’s gaze and inwardly awaited his response.
“Hyun Seo is… my younger sister.”
It would have been better if he had simply said no. The word ‘younger sister’ was one that extinguished any hope.
Upon hearing his words, Hyun Seo was so hurt that she cried for several nights.
She even resented her mother for making such a joke and causing her to hear that response.
When Hyun Seo just became a college freshman, Do Ha was already working full time. And then he left Hyun Seo and Hye Su.
From the time they started to get close, Young Suk often bragged that Do Ha was the son of Chae Hyun Woo, the president of Jin Sung Group, but at that time, no one in the neighborhood believed it. Surprisingly, it was true.
It was when Young Suk was working in a quiet hotel bar in her younger days. At the time, the unmarried Chae Hyun Woo was drinking alone, perhaps with some worries.
“Did you hear? The food and beverage manager just came in and said, that person over there is the illegitimate son of Jin Sung’s Chae Man Ho.”
Thanks to the senior staff member who noticed and carefully instructed to serve him, the staff were quietly talking amongst themselves, while Young Suk was secretly making a big plan.
She often suffered from insomnia due to working night shifts, and she successfully drugged his drink with half of the mild sleep inducer she usually took when she had insomnia.
It’s unclear what hard times he had been going through, but the fact that he was drinking heavily alone with a depressed face might have been an opportunity.
Soon, the collapsed Chae Hyun Woo was helped out of the bar by Young Suk herself, even before he could ask for anyone else’s help.
“Sir, are you very tired? You keep closing your eyes… If you can’t help it, how about resting in a room upstairs?”
She had managed to check in the barely conscious man and even support him into the room. There were onlookers, but Young Suk didn’t care.
With a mindset that the worst that could happen was losing her job, she tried to make a connection that might become more important.
About an hour after Chae Hyun Woo had fallen into a light sleep, Young Suk forcibly woke him. She had to strike while he was still under the influence of alcohol. That’s why she didn’t give him too much of the sleep inducer.
If she were to throw herself at a healthy young man when he was not in his right mind, any normal man would fall for it.
Young Suk, who had managed to pull things off as she wished, rummaged through Chae Hyun Woo’s wallet after he fell back to sleep.
As expected, there were a few of his business cards. She took one and secured his contact information.
And when morning came, she smiled her most seductive smile at Chae Hyun Woo, who had woken up with a grimace from a headache.
“Hello. It seems we made a big mistake yesterday… What do you think?”
Of course, Chae Hyun Woo was flustered and didn’t know what to do. Honestly, he couldn’t remember anything.
But he too could tell that something had happened.
“My name is Young Suk Han, who might you be?”
He gave his full name in response to her question pretending not to know. After a few exchanges with Young Suk, Chae Hyun Woo politely said,
“I’m sorry. I need to go to the office first, I’ll contact you soon.”
The next contact came through his secretary. The secretary came in person to deliver an envelope filled with a sum that couldn’t be considered paltry, for compensation.
While they both had made the mistake, it was a situation where a famous figure like Chae Hyun Woo had to be more careful and cautious.
Young Suk was fired from her job as expected, but she had no regrets since the envelope given by Chae Hyun Woo was thick with money. However, she was not content to leave it at that.
‘Would he fall for it if I tried once more?’
She wanted to become his girlfriend if possible. So, she tried contacting him using the number written on his business card. He surprisingly answered the call, but all she received was a polite apology.
Honestly, why would he want to meet a woman who couldn’t even remember what sort of night they had spent together? Young Suk had to be satisfied with the money she had already gotten out of him, as regrettable as it was.
And some time later, Chae Hyun Woo got married to a woman arranged by his family. It was a natural situation for a rich young man of marriageable age to have a fiancée.
But then, a miracle happened to Young Suk, who was reading his wedding article in the newspaper and feeling bitter. She was carrying his seed in her belly.
Fearful of making a mistake, Young Suk didn’t tell anyone about this fact and carefully gave birth to the baby. As soon as she recovered, she went to Chae Hyun Woo, who had become the CEO at the time, and showed him his son.
The main house where Chae Hyun Woo’s parents, Chairman Chae and his wife, lived, was naturally turned upside down.
At the request of the flustered former chairman, Young Suk even proved the son’s paternity.

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
