Secretly Meeting With My Boss

Epilogue (8)

"Well, I'm fine. I fully understand how you feel."

In a nervous atmosphere that was about to explode, So-young hurriedly opened her mouth. It was because she thought Vice Chairman Cha would collapse by grabbing the back of his neck as if he can't even deal with it.

"Really…"

Vice-Chairman Cha, who was trying to get angry at Taekyung, managed to swallow his excitement and watch So-young. Then, he turned his back on Tae Kyung and told her.

"How many times do we have to meet like this? Taekyung is silent when he asks, and would I have had a way? Still, it's a job to get people in the house, so I won't check.”

"What do your parents do? Taekyung is always silent when I ask. But it's your family, so I have to check them out."

"…Yes, you're right."

It was true that she didn't feel good even if she understood it in her head. So-young accepted moderately and lowered her gaze. The cool tension tightened her lungs.

So-young's parents have lived hard throughout their lives, but they have never shown shame on her. If the two, who were proud of So-young, were disparaged here, the marriage would never take place. So-young loved Tae-kyung, but it was another question of whether she could take the insult of her parents.

It was the moment when Taekyung, who knew that, tried to change the subject with an anxious face.

"Both of her parents were healthy, and she grew up well. That's enough, so don't say useless things.”

Vice-Chairman Cha's answer differed greatly from the two's imaginations. In a clear and positive answer, not only So-young but also Taekyung stared at him with a surprised face.

"Greedy means that my son marries a woman who lacks it, but do you think so yourself?" Too much humility is not polite."

“To be greedy means you lack my son in life, is that what you think?”

Regardless of Vice Chairman Cha's fundamental personality, he was a snob who believed that he was superior, belonging to the top group of society. In addition, Vice Chairman Cha actually had a history of a successful marriage business with his two sons.

Therefore, Tae-kyung thought that no matter how much he liked So-young, he would say something that made him angry at least once. However, Vice Chairman Cha's attitude was surprisingly naive and favorable.

"If you become a member of my family, you will become something to pay attention to. But the world has changed, and I care little about that. Everyone lives their own lives, so if Taekyung likes you, what's there to object to?"

"Thank you for saying that."

"However, that punk…"

Vice-Chairman Cha's expression, who had been arrogant and confident all the time, was sharply changed. For the first time, he seemed hesitant. So-young also opened her mouth with nervousness and determination.

"Tell me, vice president."

"……There's a flaw in that man, do you know that?"

Vice-Chairman Cha coughed in vain as if it was difficult to say. So-young couldn't hide her puzzled expression, but Taekyung smirked and asked him back.

"Do you want to say that I'm a eunuch?"

Vice-Chairman Cha, who he thought he would yell again this time, became quiet. Only then did So-young realize why he hesitated, flushing and shaking her hand in embarrassment.

"Yes, Taekyung, he's a eunuch… N-no, I mean…… I already know that he had surgery."

"Do you mean you still want to get married?"

Vice Chairman Cha's expression changed bizarrely. It was then that Tae-kyung realized the root of his friendly but somewhat low-key attitude. Vice-Chairman Cha was reluctant to let an innocent girl marry a son who was an eunuch. He seemed to be quite concerned about it when he talked like this, but when So-young said that she was okay at once, he seemed confused and relieved.

"Does it really not matter?"

Vice Chairman Cha slowly relaxed his hardened expression and asked So-young again. She nodded at once with no hesitation.

"Yes, vice president. From the beginning… I mean, this is what Taekyung told me even before we dated seriously. As much as I knew and dated him, I want to respect him if he doesn't want a child."

"Child, do you agree with Taekyung? I'm asking if you don't like children.”

She couldn't miss Vice Chairman Cha's expectations. So-young hesitated to move her lips well and said honestly.

"I don't really care. You may want to have children in your life, but I don't think you need a child to complete your family. I believe the two of us can be happy enough. And that kind of course…… Tae Kyung's mind would have been determined enough to perform the surgery, so I think it's right to respect his decision."

So-young was not a firm DINK like Taekyung, but she didn't think she needed a child. Of course, it was a lie if she wasn't completely disappointed. Just because he doesn't want a child now has no guarantee that he wouldn't want a child in the future.

(DINK – double income, no kids)

In addition, the child resembling Taekyung and her was filled with loveliness just by vague imagination. However, in this situation, she already thought that the family they would create would be perfectly happy with themselves. So, instead of falling into useless emotions, Soyoung smiled softly.

It was then that Taekyung, who was persistently looking at So-young's expression, opened his mouth.

"The vasectomy."
