Childhood Friend of the Youngest Daughter of a Conglomerate Family

11 – Are you crying?

Entering the house, I saw the servants busy moving.

People who would normally get off work at this time are still working today.

But it’s a very clean house even in normal times.

Since even a speck of dust was about to come out, I could roughly guess how strict King Yoo-cheol was in cleaning thoroughly.

“Araya Hansol, do you want to go to Ara’s room for now? Ara, I cleaned my room first.”

“Yes, madam.”

“Yes… “

Ever since Ara heard that her grandfather was coming, she lost her energy.

The same goes for Han Seung-ah. His face is full of worry.

As soon as she entered the room, Ara covered herself with a blanket and lay down.

“Ara Yoo, don’t you play with the Fizzly toy? Am I ready?”

“… I am tired.”

No, on the bus earlier, they said let’s play with the exciting new toy…

Seeing that Yua Ra isn’t catching even with the fizzly, she’s seriously ill.

‘But I guess. Why are Han Seung-ah and Ara avoiding King Yoo-cheol so much?’

Han Seung-ah married Yoo Jae-jun seven years ago.

However, Yu Ji-tae is 13 years old and Yoo Hyun-hyun is 11 years old.

Of course, there is no such thing as a child that Han Seung-ah secretly gave birth to while working as an actress.

In my previous life, I just heard that Han Seung-ah, a top star, married into a conglomerate family, so I didn’t know that.

I wasn’t interested in news like that, so that’s all I knew.

Anyway, what are the unwritten rules of chaebol families in Korea?

Eating together. It’s a mixed vein.

It is common for chaebol families to marry someone from the same chaebol family or a family with power such as politicians or the legal profession.

However, Han Seung-ah came from an orphan, let alone a conglomerate or a powerful family.

The marriage between Yoo Jae-joon and Han Seung-ah is not normal.

No, much worse than normal.

It is also questionable how the hell this marriage came about.

‘It’s just that Yoo Jae-joon fell in love with actor Han Seung-ah… Is that old man really that sentimental?’

Well, anyway, I don’t know the circumstances of the two, but this is certain.

King Yoo Chul doesn’t like Han Seung-ah, a celebrity daughter-in-law.

And, not to mention the daughter she gave birth to.

I looked at Ara, who was drooping with the blanket over her head.

He’s not even asleep, and he barely moves.

“Yooara, are you going to keep doing that? I’m bored.”

“…… “

No answer came back.

It’s hard to think of Ara, who seemed like she would pick a star for me.

I approached and turned over the blanket Ara was covering.

Ara belatedly tried to resist, but her blanket was already taken off.

“Ooh, ooh… don’t look… “

“… Are you crying?”

It is understandable that her grandfather, who does not like her, is uncomfortable, but I did not expect to cry.

Could it be that King Yoo Cheol treats Ara every time he comes to this house?

I went up to the bed and sat on Ara’s bedside, wiping her tears and asking.

“Why are you crying, Yuara? Are you that afraid of Grandpa?”

“Sniff… Her grandpa hates it, but it’s not scary enough to make her cry. I’m just… Because of you Sol… “

“Why me?”

“… Grandpa Sol will hate you. I’m going to tell you to get out of my house.”

“Me? Why?”

“I don’t know. But I think my grandfather would.”

After saying that, Ara wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face in my stomach.

Sniffing and smelling me.

It looks like a puppy.

But I don’t know why, but I think I’m going to be kicked out…

I don’t know if King Yoo Cheol is really like that, but if he cries and says this, he seems to be a person who hates outsiders entering his family.

But I’m not adopted, I’m just a ward.

It wasn’t Yoo Jae-joon, it was Han Seung-ah’s.

Could that be a problem for him?

I was prepared for something to happen when I decided to live in this house, but I was already in danger of being kicked out…

“Sol.”

“Huh?”

“Shall we have dinner just the two of us? In this room. Then you and Sol won’t have to see Grandpa.”

“Huh? No, but what if he comes into this room?”

“It’s okay. Grandpa always eats and goes. Sol, then. Please. Huh?”

“No, but… “

Ara held my hand tightly and gave me a bright look.

No, but I don’t like being kicked out all of a sudden, but we can’t decide that among ourselves.

It’s strange that her granddaughter doesn’t see her face even though her grandfather is coming home.

Besides, if it really seemed like King Yoo Cheol would kick me out, wouldn’t Jaejoon Yoo or Seungah Han have talked to me first?

Or are the two of them intending to leave me to the choice of King Yoo Chul?

Will you take me with you or send me to another place?

Well, even Yoo Jae-joon will not be able to go against his father, the chairman, so I think he can.

Because he will aim for the position of the next chairman of Daehan Group.

Huh? For a moment. Come to think of it, if he is the next chairman of Daehan Group…

Smart-

“Hansol, are you okay?”

“Ah, yes… uh? Chief Lee?”

Han Seung-ah came in with Chief Lee.

I think it’s the first time I’ve seen him enter this house, which I’ve only seen in front of the gate.

Still a stout body and a blunt look, he still looks at me with a blunt face.

“Hansol, that… Would you mind eating out tonight?”

“Eating out?”

What is it? Did you decide to see Yoo Cheol from the outside?

Then, can I not go out?

No, wait. Why did I clean the house so much if King Yoo Cheol didn’t come? Then this…

“Oh no! Sol is eating with me in my room today! Sol won’t show her grandpa!”

“No. Ara, you should see your grandfather. And Hansol, you… “

“Am I the only one eating out?”

“… Yes, it is.”

“Huh? Only Sol… ?”

That’s how it ended up.

It seems that Ara’s worries were right.

Han Seung-ah and Yoo Jae-jun intend not to show me to King Yoo-cheol.

Perhaps they also thought that if King Yoocheol saw me, he would tell me to let him go immediately.

“Okay. Then can we prepare right now?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, I understand. Then, Araya, wait for a while.”

“Uh, uh… “

Ara seems to have no complaints even though she is shy.

She is also a child who is quick to judge the situation.

She probably knew right away why her mother asked me to eat out.

———-

“Is it delicious?”

“Yes, Chief Lee.”

“Just call me Mister.”

“… Yes, mister.”

Right now, I’m eating alone with Mr. Lee.

The menu is beef.

I got the card from Han Seung-ah.

As an excuse for sending me outside, she said something funny, saying, “Chief Lee wants to get close to me.”

That’s the face of a person you want to be close to wherever you look.

Well, it would be difficult to say to me openly that King Yoo Cheol would see me as an empty person attached to the conglomerate family.

“Ah, it looks like this is finished.”

“Well, yes.”

“Oh, it’s delicious… “

“… Okay.”

Anyway, this person is very reticent.

Well, people who want to attend might be better off with this kind of personality.

No, haven’t you heard what your employer, Seung Ah-sin, said?

You said you want to get close? Do some acting

“Ah, come to think of it, I couldn’t say thank you to Mr. Thank you for saving me then.”

“… At that time?”

“… ? Don’t you remember? Together with Ara and her wife, she saved me from being abused by my mother.”

“…… “

Chief Lee stared at me for a moment and then gave a small nod.

What, did you not recognize me?

No, but the other day we went to the police station together.

Isn’t this guy a twin brother who looks very much like Chief Lee?

“Yes, it was you. Her hair color is unusual, so you will recognize her right away.”

“… No, you didn’t recognize it right away.”

“This is enough for me. I quickly erase things that are not related to work from my memory.”

What is that? Well, it’s kind of sick, but it’s also a little cool.

Then, when I asked who did you think I was, I just said that I must be Yoo Jae-joon’s relative.

If suddenly there is a child at your employer’s house you haven’t seen, you’d have to ask, but to pass it off like that.

He is a real machine.

“When I saw it then, I couldn’t recognize him because his face was swollen. You have a very pretty face.”

“Oh yes, thank you.”

“… Don’t treat women carelessly when you grow up later. And don’t just trust her face, build her muscles. A man’s value is not his face.”

I’m still 6 years old? Well, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start exercising.

Because the guru also advised me to exercise.

When I say exercise, I am drawn to martial arts for some reason.

In my previous life, there were so many bastards who hit me one by one.

Chief Lee started to talk about how many bad guys out of handsome guys are, and that a man’s true value comes from his manly body and behavior.

Well, it seems like a long time ago, even a woman was stolen by a handsome man.

But I was also a person who suffered because of my face in my previous life.

After we agreed, he said he liked me and offered to shake hands.

In my previous life, I worked as a service worker and dealt with the old men.

I know what middle-aged men like.

Taking advantage of the improved atmosphere, I whispered something to him.

“I heard Grandpa Ara is coming home today.”

“… Yes, the president is supposed to visit the boss’s house.”

“I was curious about what kind of person you are, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t meet you… Oh, but it’s nice to come to eat with you. It’s just that the timing is a little disappointing.”

“…… “

Uh… Is it out?

Director Lee’s face, which had been happy until now, returned to an expressionless expression.

Rather, it became more and more frowned upon.

Taking advantage of being a child, I said something rude.

It might have sounded like ‘I couldn’t even see the president’s face because I was out with you’.

But I even added that it was nice to come out with you later, but I can’t…

“Are you scolding me?”

“Yes?”

“If you want to know about the president, ask straightly like a man that you want to know. I hate being asked in such a subtle way.”

“… Sorry.”

… I got mad.

But this person has no prejudice.

Don’t you think that a 6-year-old kid usually looks at people, but she thinks so cleverly.

After all, he’s an attendant, so he’s sensitive to being looked at like this.

“All right. Don’t do that in the future You’re still young, so you can catch it right away. So, what are you curious about, Chairman? I will only tell you what I can say.”

“Uh… Do you, President, hate children?”

“Are you really curious about that? You’re still not being honest.”

“… I heard from Ara. If the president sees me, he’ll kick me out of the house. Is it really so? Do you hate it when outsiders come into your house? Has something like that happened before?”

I don’t know. I just asked honestly.

I told you to ask like a man, so he will tell you like a man.

Director Lee was silent for a moment.

Are you choosing a horse?

“… The President likes talented children.”

“Yes? Suddenly what… Are you sure you answered the question I asked in the first place? No, did you just ask? You want me to ask you honestly?”

“I haven’t heard of anything else. Let’s stop How about ice cream for dessert? … Oh, don’t answer the phone for a second. Wait.”

Chief Lee just cut through and ignored my protest.

No, whenever you do something like a man…

Well, I’m a fool for barely expecting an attendant.

I mean there is. People who only look for masculinity or a real man when they are very comfortable.

While I was mumbling alone like that, the self-styled man came back after talking on the phone.

“Why are you complaining so much? Men are not obsessed with small things.”

“… I don’t know what it means to be a man anymore.”

“Nawon, let me tell you one thing. Bow down as much as possible in front of the president. No such cocky attitude. Don’t even joke. Of course you can’t lie… No, if you ask something, just answer and don’t open your mouth first.”

“Isn’t it just one thing? Besides, you don’t tell me what I want to know… “

He sighed at my voice and answered.

“Then go and ask yourself. The President is looking for you.”

“… Yes?”

King Yoo Cheol is looking for me.

Something must have happened at home.
