Perfect Possession - Episode 66

“Have you ever seen such a crazy bastard? How dare he quit whenever he pleases!”

 

Mi-ryung looked at Chairman Han, who couldn’t contain his resentment, with a contemptuous gaze. Immediately after Jaehoon announced his resignation as vice president to the board of directors, Do-young Group was experiencing the most precarious day in its history.

 

First, Wingsder, which Jaehoon had planned the European project with, completely suspended the project itself. All they wanted was one thing: to reinstate Han Jaehoon as the project manager.

 

Hans, the team leader of Wingsder, who had tried to hold Jaehoon responsible for abuse of power and appoint Director Park as the manager, ended up resigning himself.

 

So, it was only natural that the board members poured out their complaints to Chairman Han and Director Park upon learning this fact.

 

“What should we do about this, Chairman?”

 

“The stock price is currently showing a slight decline, but we can’t guarantee this once the vice president’s resignation is official.”

 

Director Choi and Director Jung, Chairman Han’s closest aides, visited Do-young residence early in the morning.

 

“Keep it down. Do you think I don’t know that’s why I’m like this?”

 

“Do you know that’s why you make such a decision?”

 

Mi-ryung, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward to say something to Chairman Han.

 

“Jaehoon prepared and planned that project. How can you hand over the position to Director Park at this point when all that’s left is to stamp the seal?”

 

“It’s because it’s all done. And what do you know that you’re meddling in company affairs now?”

 

Chairman Han couldn’t contain his anger at Mi-ryung’s contemptuous gaze and shouted.

 

“Have you forgotten? I’m also a shareholder of Do-young Group. I also have the authority to dismiss you.”

 

“What, what did you say!”

 

Chairman Han glared at Mi-ryung with bloodshot eyes and a fierce expression. Anyone else would have stepped back at his appearance, but to Mi-ryung, he only looked like an anxious child.

 

She simply couldn’t believe that Jaehoon, who should have been sitting in that position someday, had quit the company.

 

“Bring Jaehoon back before the stock drops any further!”

 

Mi-ryung shouted back without backing down. Director Choi and Director Jung couldn’t refute her statement as one of the major shareholders. It was what they wanted too.

 

They knew very well why Chairman Han was going to such lengths. Once they formed a marriage alliance, Do-young could seize the golden opportunity to acquire the technology held by J&D.

 

But because of a woman named Min Seo-yeon, everything had gone down the drain, so he must have hated Jaehoon. Moreover, he turned J&D, whom he should have maintained a friendly relationship with, into an enemy.

 

As a result, Woojin Group made them look ridiculous, so Chairman Han was bursting with frustration. If he had followed the advice of his father, the late Chairman Han, and maintained a friendly relationship with Woojin, they could have become companies that could help each other.

 

But Chairman Han ignored his father’s advice and chose J&D, so everyone couldn’t help but be dissatisfied.

 

“Bring Jaehoon back? Am I crazy? Why would I bring back a guy who abandoned Do-young and left!”

 

“Who drove Jaehoon out in the first place?”

 

“So, you want to bring such a woman into the Do-young family? Oh, I guess you would. Why? Do you feel a sense of camaraderie or something?”

 

“What, what did you say?”

 

Mi-ryung’s face turned blue, and she trembled.

 

The two directors, who had come to ask for a solution, were caught watching a marital spat and were restless.

 

“I’m not like some secretary. My father was the president of a small business.”

 

“Hmph, a failed small business is still a business.”

 

“You! Are you done talking?”

 

Chairman Han was about to shout again when a hurried knock was heard, and Chairman Han’s secretary, Secretary Cho, entered.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

“Ch, Chairman, please take a look at this.”

 

Secretary Cho showed Chairman Han an internet article.

 

‘Woojin Group, which has secured 10% of Do-young Group’s shares, is drawing public attention to what impact it will have on Do-young Group….’

 

“Wh, what kind of bullshit is this! How did Woojin buy so many Do-young shares overnight? Who sold them? If it’s someone with this much stake….”

 

His reddened eyes looked at Mi-ryung. Even if all the shareholders with small amounts of shares gave them to Woojin, it would be impossible to obtain this stake overnight.

 

“Why are you looking at me?”

 

She snatched the tablet PC from Chairman Han’s hand and read the article.

 

“What did I say? I told you not to turn Jaehoon into an enemy.”

 

“So, Jaehoon sold this?”

 

“It’s Tae-yul’s stake. Have you already forgotten? The 10% stake that Father passed down to Jaehoon’s child!”

 

Mi-ryung was shocked that something Jaehoon had warned about had become a reality. No matter how Jaehoon was, she never thought he would hand over Do-young’s shares to Woojin.

 

Of course, since he said he would, she thought he would at least pretend to do so, but she never imagined he would sell it off entirely.

 

“What are you going to do now? Do you think Jaehoon will come if you call him now?”

 

“That bastard is out of his mind. He’s really gone crazy!”

 

Chairman Han staggered backward.

 

“Chairman!”

 

Secretary Cho supported him and sat him on the sofa. Only then did Director Choi and Director Jung, who had checked the article, slump into their chairs like people who had lost their minds.

 

“G, go and bring Jaehoon back right now. Right now!”

 

Chairman Han shouted, making the house shake, and looked for Jaehoon.

 

 

At that moment, Jaehoon and Seo-yeon were at the Geoje Island villa with Tae-yul. The Geoje Island villa was a place Jaehoon had bought separately to enjoy a trip away from people’s eyes while dating Seo-yeon.

 

So, the main family had no way of knowing. Jaehoon was visiting for the first time this time because Seo-yeon had left as soon as he bought it.

 

“Wow, good.”

 

Tae-yul, who had arrived in Geoje Island while sleeping because he had left early in the morning, was blank for a while after waking up in an unfamiliar room.

 

Then, he looked at the sea outside the window and jumped up, shouting ‘Water!’ and pulling Jaehoon’s hand. The three of them got up and took Tae-yul, still in his pajamas, for a walk on the beach.

 

Tae-yul was excited and shouted as he touched the sand and stepped on it barefoot. Seo-yeon silently watched Jaehoon, who was watching Tae-yul’s steps in case there was anything sharp.

 

Seo-yeon knew very well why Jaehoon had suddenly come here. It was probably because he didn’t know how Chairman Han and Mi-ryung would react if things got noisy.

 

She thought that Jaehoon wanted to protect himself and Tae-yul from the main family, but also wanted to clear his head for a while.

 

“Dad, what’s that?”

 

When Tae-yul picked up a broken seashell, Jaehoon lifted him up and put him on his shoulders.

 

“Let’s ride on my shoulders so you don’t hurt your feet.”

 

“Wow, wow!”

 

Tae-yul shouted for joy, not scared even though he had suddenly gone up high. Tae-yul shouted ‘Wow, wow!’ and looked around.

 

“Suddenly on his shoulders?”

 

“There are a lot of seashell fragments mixed in the sand. You shouldn’t hurt your feet.”

 

“You can just put on his shoes.”

 

“Will he try to wear them?”

 

“Um, no.”

 

Seo-yeon smiled softly and looked up at Tae-yul.

 

“Mom. Tae-yul here?”

 

These days, Tae-yul was always tilting his head and asking, ‘Where is Tae-yul?’ whenever he had a chance, so she was busy pretending to look for him. At that time, she had to point at Tae-yul with her hand and say, ‘Here it is.’ to end it.

 

Of course, she had to play that game about ten times a day, but everyone answered happily because he was so cute.

 

“Tae-yul is here.”

 

Seo-yeon poked Tae-yul’s nose and smiled. Tae-yul shrugged his shoulders as if ticklish and laughed out loud.

 

“But it doesn’t seem like Ms. Kim and Butler Park are at the villa?”

 

The two of them also moved together when they left early in the morning. Jaehoon brought them because they would be in trouble if they stayed at the house and couldn’t escape Chairman Han’s harassment.

 

“Over there.”

 

Jaehoon pointed to another villa next to the villa with a wink. When she looked closely, there was a door between the fences between the two houses.

 

“I liked this house because it was connected to the sea, but the house next door was too close.”

 

“So, you bought both houses?”

 

“Well, I was planning to come with you. I can’t show your sexy side to other people.”

 

Jaehoon winked and gave a sexy smile. Seo-yeon quickly looked at Tae-yul and glared at Jaehoon.

 

“Tae-yul can hear everything.”

 

Tae-yul was not interested in what they were saying and reached out as if trying to catch the sky.

 

“Tae-yul, do you know what ‘sexy’ means?”

 

“Dad, what’s that?”

 

Tae-yul didn’t pay attention to Jaehoon’s question and pointed to a bird flying in the sky and asked.

 

“See, he’s not interested.”

 

“I can’t stop you anyway.”

 

Seo-yeon wrapped her arms around Jaehoon’s waist and glared at him again.

 

“You’re a little too mischievous.”

 

“Really? Me? Uh….”

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

Seo-yeon asked, looking at Jaehoon, who suddenly stopped moving.

 

“My neck….”

 

“What’s wrong with your neck? Does it hurt?”

 

“…It’s hot.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Seo-yeon looked at Tae-yul, who was shivering, and then immediately shifted her gaze to the stream of water flowing down Jaehoon’s neck.

 

“Oh… I won’t laugh.”

 

“Wait, what should I do?”

 

Jaehoon froze and moved only his eyes.

 

“Just a moment, please. First, you should move after Tae-yul is all done. I’m sorry. I can’t help but laugh.”

 

Seo-yeon couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She felt sorry for Tae-yul, who was whining that he didn’t want to change his diaper early in the morning, so she thought she would fill it when he woke up and just put him to sleep.

 

She had forgotten about it and came out to the beach, so Tae-yul had endured a lot.

 

Tae-yul was sorry that he had peed on his dad, so he stuck out his tongue and smiled, then reached out to Seo-yeon. She quickly hugged Tae-yul.

 

“Go like that and have you take Tae-yul and wash him.”

 

“Me?”

 

Jaehoon couldn’t turn his face because of the pee that had flowed down to his chest, and only moved his mouth.

 

“Go quickly.”

 

“I can’t move.”

 

Seo-yeon burst out laughing again at Jaehoon, who was standing still like a robot. Then Tae-yul also laughed out loud, then suddenly frowned and pointed to his wet pants and said.

 

“Mom, Tae-yul pee. Yucky.”

 

“See? He’s telling you to wash him quickly.”

 

“Son, you should have notified me in advance so Dad could have dealt with it.”

 

Jaehoon burst out laughing when Tae-yul frowned and said, ‘Yucky.’ He picked up Tae-yul and returned to the villa and went straight to the bathroom.

 

Ms. Kim, who had already moved to the villa, was helping Butler Park prepare breakfast.

 

“Tae-yul peed on Jaehoon’s neck.”

 

Seo-yeon explained to Ms. Kim, who approached with a worried face.

 

“Haha, is that so? Madam, please wash up and come out soon. I made soybean paste stew for breakfast.”

 

“Wow, that sounds delicious. I’ll be right there.”

 

Seo-yeon felt good at the thought of eating soybean paste stew for the first time in a long time. Seoul may be turned upside down, but Seo-yeon decided not to worry in front of Jaehoon.

 

She hoped that Jaehoon would escape from the Do-young family even for a day.
