Secretly Meeting With My Boss

Epilogue (1)

Although they were scared even before they started, their relationship flowed smoothly like a boat on a tailwind.

From a temporary relationship, catastrophe, and subsequent reunification, the two made one promise to each other through a series of processes. They'll be honest no matter what, and they will not abandon each other.

Is it thanks to the experience of almost facing catastrophe with misunderstandings? Their promise was faithfully fulfilled. The two tried to understand each other in any situation and coordinated the conflict through sufficient communication. In that way, trust and affection were built one by one.

The realization that the world was on their side filled the two of them with fullness, and every day they saw each other was a new happiness.

In particular, Taekyung has no longer hesitated since they started dating. The man, who was harmfully friendly even when he was only a sex partner, became sweeter and sweeter over time.

Taekyung's affection was consistent and solid, and thanks to that, Soyoung was also convinced of the permanence of love. That's why So-young jumped into his arms with no hesitation when Taekyung proposed with no notice.

Neither of them had big fantasies about marriage. But falling in love completely changed the meaning of marriage. Marriage was not an act of legal binding force on the other party. It was the institutional bond that bound two people into a family.

So, the two visited each other's parents ahead of their full-fledged wedding preparations.

So-young's parents were ordinary and harmonious, just like most Korean families. When their only daughter joined a large company, they were very proud, and when she said she was dating her boss, they could not hide their concerns. Also, when she learned ‌the boss was the future heir of the CH group, they were confused.

[Soyoung, if you like him, we like him too. But marriage isn't easy. We're worried that you might have some troubles during marriage.]

The parents said indirectly, but there was no way that So-young could not understand what they were trying to say. She also hesitated to date Taekyung for realistic reasons.

However, So-young was no longer anxious. She went as far as possible with Taekyung, and spent a year together to be sure that her choice was right.

At first, her parents, who were not willing to do it, eventually changed their minds when they saw So-young soaked in happiness. And before the official meeting, Taekyung first visited Soyoung's parents.

"How do you feel today?"

"Wow… You look so cool."

At the promised time, So-young, who left the officetel, smiled sincerely as soon as she saw Taekyung waiting in front of the building. The man, who was usually cool, shone even more today. Just watching him made her laugh.

Taekyung had a strong sexual appeal, so even a minor distraction gave off a strangely decadent atmosphere. The man today pretended to be determined and strict. His well-groomed hair was not disheveled, and his body, dressed in a white dress shirt, dark navy blue tie, and old-fashioned dark gray suit, showed fewer lines than usual, giving him a conservative impression.

He was a man who made people crazy. Looking at So-young's expression gawking at Tae Kyung, he asked mischievously, closing his open jaw.

"Do I look ravishing?"

"No, that's not…. A little… Yes."

So-young, who was caught red-handed, spat out a reflexive denial, but eventually nodded. Then Taekyung burst into a light smile and guided her to the passenger seat, as if escorting her.

"You're just as pretty as yesterday. I don't know if it's okay for you to be this pretty every day."

"Your flattery increases every day."

"That's impossible. You know I can't lie"

Soyoung was dressed in a neat, pale dress that matched well with her innocent look. Taekyung was the only one who knew how bold the seemingly elegant woman could be. He started the engine.

Soyoung's home was outside of Seoul. Since she was an elementary school student, the neighborhood where she was born and raised was as quiet as it was old.

So-young got out of the car and called her mother.

"Mom, we just arrived. We will go up soon."

The first two planned to meet her parents at a Korean restaurant with a good atmosphere, but their thoughts were different. Since it was their first time meeting him, they seemed to have thought that they should treat him properly as a guest to their house. So-young and Taekyung did not intend to burden the two, so they recommended seeing each other again outside, but in the end, they could not break their will.

"Haa, I'm nervous."

Taekyung sighed as he rearranged his straight necktie once again. It's not that, but the face of the man, who was not nervous when entering the report of high-ranking executives, was slightly pale. So-young folded her arms and smiled at him.

"Why are you nervous? My parents are not difficult people. They wanted to meet you."

"Do you want me to be loved as a son-in-law?”

So-young tried to imagine the sight of her parents and Taekyung laughing, but honestly, it was not easy. Taekyung was basically kind, but he was not friendly, and he was not used to pleasing others. In addition, her parents were not good enough to treat the successor of the CH group as comfortable as their son-in-law.
