“Yes, yes. Let’s meet sometime. Okay.”
CEO Kim ended the call right away when Lee Wooyeon, who had gone out to smoke, sat down in front of him.
“Then I’ll call you back later.”
Lee Wooyeon, who was drinking water, realized that it was his cell phone in CEO Kim’s hand and frowned.
“Then stay healthy, uh!”
Taking his cell phone away, Lee Wooyeon casually ended the call.
“I’m on the phone!”
“Why are you using someone else’s cell phone?”
“My battery ran out, so I left it for charging now. There was something I had to confirm today.”
“But you carelessly… Did you call Choi Inseop?”
While looking at the call list, Lee Wooyeon’s voice went low.
“I pressed the wrong button by mistake earlier. Why?”
Lee Wooyeon glared at CEO Kim with irritated eyes.
“I hung up right away. I didn’t even receive it, so why?”
Lee Wooyeon did not answer and poured Western liquor into the glass. CEO Kim, noticing the cold atmosphere, asked cautiously.
“Did you finally break up?”
“You’re going to have a funeral if we break up.I was just telling a joke”
CEO Kim grumbled and continued.
“There’s no way a guy who wants to hand over a five-billion-dollar villa will break up so easily.”
From his self-talk, Lee Wooyeon easily guessed why he had been summoned to this place today.
That day, when he saw the contract he was reviewing after calling lawyer Shin, CEO Kim’s face turned blue. Leaving behind CEO Kim, who wanted to talk, Lee Wooyeon left his office. Since that day, CEO Kim has been calling him constantly. Of course, Lee Wooyeon did not answer his phone call.
In the end, CEO Kim came to the fitness center and forced Lee Wooyeon out, telling him not to just exercise and get some fresh air. The award ceremony was tomorrow, and there was no crazy agency representative who would come out to have a drink without any intention.
“I spend my money, what are you so dissatisfied with?”
“Who is complaining?”
CEO Kim jumped up as if he had been stabbed. Then he let out a couple of dry coughs and continued.
“I’m not complaining, I’m just saying it because I’m worried. Wooyeon, human-to-human relationships are not just about spending money.”
“The relationship between me and the CEO is ruined by money.”
Fucking bastard. He didn’t say a word.
CEO Kim changed his words.
“Our relationship is a business based on a contract, but you and Inseop…”
CEO Kim murmured as he ate the cheese that came out as a side dish. Lee Wooyeon, who had been silently tapping his cell phone screen for a while, raised his head.
“Inseop, did you know that he was adopted when he was young?”
“Yea. I know.”
It was a sudden topic, but CEO Kim nodded at first. He knew that fact from Inseop himself. Hearing that story, Manager Cha and CEO Kim shed tears, saying how they were proud of Inseop, who grew up flawlessly in such a dark past.
“It looks like his birth parents abandoned him because of his heart disease. They wrapped him baby in a blanket and put him in a paper box and left him in front of the orphanage.”
“No, what about that child… what if something went wrong?”
CEO Kim frowned, as if the baby was right in front of him.
“I’m glad they threw him? away before it went wrong.”
Wooyeon smiled and put the grapes into his mouth. With one hand, CEO Kim carefully brushed the goosebumps on his other forearm.
“After giving birth, they can’t take responsibility for it, because if they kept holding him, he would have died. They won’t have done the surgery, right?”
“That’s it, but…”
“You’ve seen the parents who raised Inseop. They’re good people. He grew up with parents like that, so he was able to grow up like that.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoticing CEO Kim’s blurry gaze, Lee Wooyeon smiled and lifted his chin slightly.
“My personality is not due to circumstances, but it’s just temperament, so there is no need to sympathize with me.”
“…Yes. Yes. To sympathize with your parents.”
“Haha. What are you doing out of sympathy for someone who is tens of times richer than you? The most useless worries in the world are worrying about celebrities and rich people.”
CEO Kim calculated the size of Lee Wooyeon’s parents’ wealth inwardly and vowed never to worry about him again.
“Anyway, it was natural for Inseop to be abandoned by his biological parents. It’s all good since he grew up with god-like parents.”
Lee Wooyeon lightly shook the ice-filled glass. Hearing the clatter of the ice, Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes halfway.
“Choi Inseop’s first love is me. It’s bad luck. Parents too, I don’t know why all his first times are like that.”
Wooyeon took a sip of his drink.
“Honestly, if he breaks up with me, he’ll meet someone better. Someone better than me.”
CEO Kim was quite surprised inwardly. Even in his dreams, he never imagined that such humane and normal words would come out of Lee Wooyeon’s mouth.
“I’m the worst…”
Because of his conscience, CEO Kim did not dare to move his mouth. Lee Wooyeon was the worst.
“Stop saying things that you don’t mean. Even if I listen to it, it’s uncomfortable.”
“Thanks.”
CEO Kim let out a sigh as if a burden had been lifted. Then, he looked at Lee Wooyeon’s eyes and carefully took his luck.
“Why would a guy who knows that transfer the villa? Do you think you’ll be a better guy if you spend five billion?”
“Does spending five billion make me a better person?”
“Gosh. Think about it.”
CEO Kim shook his head. No matter how hard Lee Wooyeon tries, he may make the wrong choice with a moment of passion and beating. It was the responsibility of the CEO of his agency to hold him in.
“If I want to use it, I’ll have to use everything.”
“Yeah, you’ll just use it all… What?”
An uneasy air pervaded. CEO Kim doubted his ears.
“I’m going to make Choi Inseop the heir to my legacy. Even if it’s not the case, I tried to meet the CEO once because of that, but it went well.”
“Wha, what are you talking about… No, wait, inheritance? The whole fortune?”
“Yes.”
Lee Wooyeon replied indifferently.
“Are you insane? Realistically- hey, wait.”
CEO Kim drank cold water. As if it wasn’t enough even after emptying the entire glass, he drank a glass of water again.
“Ha ha. Yes. Okay. Come on, talk.”
Lee Wooyeon tilted his head.
“What are you talking about? It’s just as I said. Choi Inseop is the heir to the inheritance.”
“Do you think that is the same as handing over a house? What if there is a problem later?
“My family doesn’t care about pennies like that. No, they’d find it awful to be involved with me.”
It’s unfortunate, but it was for a good reason. CEO Kim covered his forehead.
“Why!”
Until now, he was a normal person who said that Inseop would find better than him no matter who he met after breaking up with him. But suddenly he’s handing over his entire property. The criminal’s way of thinking did not make sense.
“I want to be involved in a legal relationship.”
A light of astonishment lit up in Kim’s eyes.
“Hey, what are you going to do with it?”
“Don’t you know Choi Inseop’s personality? Can you tell him to take my inheritance and break up with me?”
“Because of Inseop’s personality, he wouldn’t sign the contract in the first place.”
“So we have to make him sign it.”
Kim’s face turned pale.
“…Lee Wooyeon. As I said before, confinement, intimidation, and violence are illegal.”
“Don’t you know who I am?”
Lee Wooyeon leaned against the chair with an expression of absurdity.
“Then how are you going to get his signature?”
Inseop was infinitely soft, but he seldom backed down when he thought that things were wrong. Even if he had a lover who was rich enough to have money left over for three generations, he was like that, renting an apartment for him to live in.
“It looks pretty.”
“… ”
Lee Wooyeon’s face was needlessly beautiful to say it was a joke, but his soul was too vicious to say it was serious.
“Just because your face is pretty isn’t enough.”
Putting aside the past of being fooled by that face and even renewing the contract, CEO Kim seriously criticized Lee Wooyeon
“So you think an ugly face will help in this situation?”
“… ”
“I am trying to be as pretty as possible. Enough to close my eyes to the bad things Choi Inseop did.”
CEO Kim frowned.
“Did Inseop smash the car?”
At this point, he wondered if Lee Wooyeon had made up the car accident.
“That guilt will also play a part in getting the signature.”
Throwing the Lamborghini key to Inseop was 100 percent mean. The moment he was asked to give him a car that would be fine even if it had been in an accident, his mood soured.
No matter how expensive the car that Inseop took was, and even if he broke it, he didn’t pay attention to it. But Inseop getting injured was a completely different matter.
When he heard the news of the accident that day, he literally went blank in his head. He almost got into an accident several times as he drove to the police station.
The moment Lee Wooyeon saw Inseop sitting in the police station, he realized. Because of that bastard, he can’t die in his name.
Even when the hospital confirmed that Inseop was fine, the anxiety did not subside. On days when Inseop was sick or not feeling well, he always had nightmares. On those days, even while sleeping, he went to Inseop’s house and hugged Inseop as an excuse to go to sleep.
He was confused by the ambivalence he felt every time he held Inseop in his arms.
Relief and fear went hand in hand. As much as Inseop was precious, his fears grew.
He always thought of Inseop as he hugged him in his sleep. If the day comes that he loses this one more time, he will never be able to stand it.
If possible, he wanted to check the health of Choi Inseop’s organs every day and confirm it.
While taking Inseop home, he asked what caused the accident.
It reminded him of the sound of an insurance company employee explaining the car’s condition and kicking his tongue saying, “The front and side of the car were evenly and splendidly installed.” It was rare to see meticulous Inseop flustered to such an extent while driving. It was clear there must be a reason.
‘Suddenly, a puppy came out… ’
The moment he heard the excuse, his stomach chugged. He experienced for the first time that being too ridiculous can make him feel sick.
‘Was that all?’
Choi Inseop was as affectionate as fuck. Even though he knew that he had infiltrated the kind human nature of Choi Inseop, he felt resentment for it.
‘I’m sorry.’
Inseop cried. He liked Inseop’s crying face, but he didn’t even notice that day.
What should he do? How can he prevent him from making a single scratch on his body, which was more precious than his life? How can he keep him tied to his side forever before he came to his senses and gets his feet out of this mud?
Lee Wooyeon rubbed the wound on Inseop’s eyebrow and chewed on his tough and strong emotions. He informed Inseop of his selfishness, who was only waiting for a disposition.
‘I’ll take what I want.’
The film festival awards ceremony was held this Saturday. He remembered what he had said as a joke that he would propose to Inseop if he won the grand prize.
He was thinking of living together. If he doesn’t want to come into his house, he’ll give it to him, so that he’ll come in. He can raise anything he wants, whether it be a dog or a cat, so he was going to force himself to give him a room while raising it.
Since Inseop’s help with his work would soon be over, he needed an excuse to hold on to him. But he felt that that was not enough. Lee Wooyeon met with his lawyer again and drew up a contract regarding the inheritance of his estate.
His emotional charge was not enough. He wanted to belong to him somehow. He was going to get entangled in Choi Inseop’s life by any means and methods.
He said, “You know that if Inseop signs the documents, you will have to live with him for the rest of your life, right?”
“I’m getting a signature for that.”
“How come that’s very similar to a proposal… Oh, no.”
CEO Kim quickly drove out the words that popped into his head.
“It’s a proposal.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLee Wooyeon answered with a face like it didn’t matter.
“What kind of proposal is that…”
Lee Wooyeon smiled lightly.
He prepared a trophy instead of a ring, a contract instead of an oath of love, and such a vicious proposal. He also thought about his acceptance speech.
‘I give all this honor to the person who helped me make the right choice, not the wrong choice intentionally.’
It was a feeling that only Choi Inseop could understand. It was going to be accompanied by tears. He has never done anything nasty like showing tears at an awards ceremony. But this time, he intended to properly cry in front of Choi Inseop.
He deliberately did not contact Inseop. It was clear that the timid Inseop was at a loss, not daring to contact him. He wanted it to be as unsettling as possible.
It was the same reason why he left a drunken Inseop at the house of Manager Cha.
When the anxiety reaches its peak, the effect is multiplied by being moved. The rocking bridge theory did not come out of nowhere.
All he had to do was wait quietly until Saturday for Inseop’s anxiety to rise. The problem was that each day felt like years. No matter what he said, time passed slowly.
Lee Wooyeon tapped his cell phone screen with his fingertips.
“Then what if you get tired of Choi Inseop?”
“Me get tired of him?”
Lee Wooyeon asked as if he was really curious.
There is no eternal love. It was one of the few pieces of advice Kim, who had a brilliant divorce career, could give with confidence. However, in front of Lee Wooyeon, who was born with pure curiosity like a child, he couldn’t bear to say that his first love was very likely to be destroyed.
“…You never know what will happen to people.”
“It’s true. I didn’t know I’d be so thirsty for a boy.”
“Then think carefully about inheritance.”
Lee Wooyeon touched his cell phone and laughed with his eyes closed.
“CEO, do you think I will be able to date again after I break up with Choi Inseop?”
“… ”
In fact, CEO Kim still couldn’t believe that Lee Wooyeon really liked him. But these days, he often thought that Lee Wooyeon was quite sincere towards Inseop. There were even times when he seemed to hang on to Lee Wooyeon more.
“This will be my first and last.”
Lee Wooyeon muttered quietly.
… yes, like now.
CEO Kim felt sorry for Lee Wooyeon, even though he was like an ant stuck to his balls. He looked like an ordinary young man of his age who was heartbroken and troubled by love.
He was old too. Did he sympathize with Lee Wooyeon?
CEO Kim helped him with his softened mind. It is said that worrying about celebrities and worrying about rich people were the most useless things, but he himself was doing both at the same time.
He should have a drink.
Lee Wooyeon suddenly asked CEO Kim, who was filling his glass with alcohol.
“How many beeps did you hear?”
“What?”
“How many beeps rang out when you called Choi Inseop before and hung up?
He wondered if this was out of the blue again, but CEO Kim answered by tracing his memory.
“Three or four times?”
“Then the number must have been seen.”
“It must have.”
CEO Kim replied indifferently. Then, Lee Wooyeon looked down at the cell phone, which was still silent, and slammed it on the corner of the table.
“Hey, what are you doing!”
Surprised CEO Kim stopped him, but Lee Wooyeon didn’t pretend to hear and smashed his cell phone again. Due to his violent power, the cell phone quickly became a tattered rag.
“He can’t contact me because he’s weak.”
Come to think of it, Lee Wooyeon had been glancing at his cell phone since earlier. It’s like he was waiting for someone to contact him.
Lee Wooyeon dipped his tattered cell phone in an ice bucket and continued.
“Inseop can meet someone better than me. But even if you bring all the good people, I still like him. No matter what he does to me, I will take it.”
Lee Wooyeon drank the remaining alcohol in the glass at once and smiled.
“But how do I let it go?”
It was a talent to make romantic words so vulgar and bloody.
… fuckin’ tricks.
CEO Kim emptied his glass without a word. The alcohol that went down his throat was exceptionally bitter today.
