While waiting for the traffic to subside, a handsome chaebol sat in the back seat of a sleek black foreign car. As he remained as if he was lost in thought, his gaze was fixated on the glowing billboard above. The car window to his right was descending slowly, while his sight grew clearer than before, due to the slight black tint of the glass. The man with an untouchable vibe sighed and spoke with a slightly irritated tone.
“Um……. Let’s take a break here. I felt the need for some coffee.”
His eyes stayed on the billboard whereas the car didn’t move a single inch backward or forward. His face continued to be expressionless.
“We’re a bit behind your usual schedule, due to the traffic block.”
His secretary checked the time on his left wrist. He already had a rough idea of what the current time was as the surroundings were dawned in a warm, yellowish orange shade.
‘It’s 4:30 P.M, huh?’
“And it’s around the time for your coffee break. Would you like me to grab coffee for the others as well, since we’re already on the way, Sir?”
His secretary, who was driving the car, spoke to him, pulled the car to a safer side of the road so that he could park the car. While playing with the small strands at the edge of his hairline near his left ear, the elderly business man in the back of the car shook his head gently and quickly changed his mind.
“No, it’s okay. You can buy coffee for the others and return without me. I have some personal matters to attend to.”
“Personal matters…….”
Only silence persisted in the car after that response.
The secretary shifted his gaze toward his boss in the rearview mirror, analyzing his boss's expression. After assessing the situation closely for a few seconds, he broke the silence.
“Are you meeting with your wife again, Sir?”
‘I can’t tell if he lost his own screws today after all…… Ha…… ’
He viewed the expression of his driver from the car mirror and sighed.
‘My secretary is unusually happy. Youngsters…….”
He was tired, and was unwilling to get involved, but he didn't retort back.
“Perhaps.”
Even then, he managed a businessman’s smile in front of his subordinate. His secretary was content with his casual response, before his mind wandered back to memories of his own wife.
“Should I drive you there then, sir?”
The question caught his attention again.
“No need. I’ll handle it from here and take a cab.”
They got out of the car after the conversation ended. He handed his secretary his black card to buy the coffee, and then they made their way to a nearby café.
While he was waiting outside, he looked up at the billboard of Chae Yoo-jung, holding a perfume bottle, displayed on the screen above the building. It was a video advertisement for a famous luxury brand.
The chaebol looks surprisingly young, with his black hair neatly slicked to the sides, considering he’s in his mid-fifties. He stares at the screen for a moment. His expression remained serious and unaffected, before taking off his black sunglasses. He put his sunglasses in the corner of his suit pocket.
His secretary returns with several cups of coffee in one hand and hands him his warm cup, before giving back his black card.
“Then, farewell, sir. I hope you enjoy your dinner date.”
After nodding back to his secretary, the chaebol was sent off in a cab to who knows where.

Chae Yoo-jeong returned to their apartment after buying groceries to cook for his hyung. A joyful smile spread across his face as he thought about it. In his mind, he recalled his smile when he went to work this morning.
‘I wonder what I should get him for our first anniversary. I don’t have any clue……. There are too many things I want to give him. Should I buy everything I can think of?’
His mind was lost in the moment, drifting like floating clouds. That was until he got a call from his mother.
Ring, ring.
With a bitter expression, he hurriedly rejected the call before making his way to their apartment.
When he reached the floor through the elevator, he noticed a strange, yet familiar man standing in front of the door.
‘Is he one of my stalkers……? I’ve been getting too many weird comments these days. Maybe I should just ki……’
The man turned around to see Chae Yoo-jeong’s face. He flinched due to the chilly air around that strange man, but he didn’t let go of the grocery bags. After he unclogged some memories in his mind, he finally understood who this man is.
‘It’s been years since I have seen him. I have had a bad feeling since this morning. Is that why he’s here?’
“Uh…… Hm…….”
Chae Yoo-jeong was at a loss for words on how to begin and sighed. The man noticed his behavior and spoke first, nodding as he stepped forward. He stood just a step away from him, removing his sunglasses.
“It seems you know who I am. Well, that’s good to know. Since that makes things easier on my side then.”
After a moment of silence, Chae Yoo-jeong invited him inside to avoid any disturbance to their neighbors and let the man enter the apartment first, before he closed the entrance door. They began to walk toward the living room without a single word between them.
Chae Yoo-jeong gestured toward the couch for the man to sit down and wait. He went into the kitchen to put down the grocery bags. Just a minute later, he came back with a glass of water. He questioned why he was here.
After listening to the man for ten minutes, Chae Yoo-jeong understood the reason for his unannounced visit.
“Hmm……To summarize, you’re telling me to go to college, due to my mother nagging you about it, since she thinks what I'm doing now is a… shame.”
The man, wearing a black suit and emitted the vibe of a chaebol, was his stepfather, the man his mother had later got remarried, just after he finished his elementary school. It was rare for his stepfather to come home early, since he arrived very late most of the time. In fact, the only time he even saw him was probably once a year, and that was during Christmas Day. But it was more like his mother didn’t care about Chae Yoo-jeong and he didn’t bother to see his stepfather either, aside from occasionally meeting once in a while, when they bumped into each other in the huge vacant penthouse. Everytime, he met his stepfather, his cold expression remained, making him feel so distant, thus they were not even close to begin with.
‘Looking back, he is still the same even now. I wished I could rip his cold demeanor apart. Right here and now.’
Chae Yoo-jeong stared at his father’s shoes, which he hadn’t taken off before coming inside the apartment. Only disgust and loathing remained near the depths of his throat, as if they will be vomited outwards if he even spouted a single word right now. His bright eyes darkened while he thought about his past memories.
‘He must also think it’s a shame that his only son is just a gamer, doing modeling and other gigs these days.’
“She’s not the only one who feels that way. I also think that Chae Yoo-jeong’s career is rather troubling, considering what all my nephews are doing right now, since you’re my stepson……. But just to be clear, I have no intention of handing over my company to anyone, not until the day I die. I just don’t want your personal matters to affect me in any way possible. You’re still my stepson, and whatever you do will reflect on my presence regardless of whatever you think.”
‘He’s saying stepson this and that……. I’m losing my shit over this. His presence. My ass.’
A frown appeared on Chae Yoo-jeong’s face. He remembered how it was back in middle school. However, no matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to remember his face, at all, from that time. The only reason he recognizes him now is because of the way he was dressed, and especially his glare.
He felt discomfort with his stepfather’s presence and attitude.
‘But…… Why did he come now? Whatever, it doesn’t matter now. I thought he wouldn't bother me as long as I stayed out of his way.’
Although anger was fuming inside him, Chae Yoo-jeong remained composed. After a moment of thought, he spoke.
“I’ll go to college on one condition. You must atleast let me choose where I want to go.”
‘At the very least, I should get something out of this bothersome matter.’
“Sure. As long as I approve of it as well.”
His stepfather smirked before standing up from the couch. After loosening and retightening his tie again, he smiled like a snake with his eyes squinting. Chae Yoo-jeong’s lips twitched with disgust. He clicked his tongue in irritation.
‘I really want to curse this shameless bastard and rip his head bald.’
Chae Yoo-jeong, who was aware of his own bad manners, guided him to the door.
“I hope I will never have to see you and my mother, ever again, after this. You can get my number from my mother, if you want. After college, I’ll be cutting both this number and any ties to your messed-up chaebol family. Don’t expect me to come crawling back to you. Don’t worry.”
Chae Yoo-jeong said in an expression, that may look like a gentle tone on the outside, but it truly isn’t. He then flashed him with a cold but shivery smile, before he slammed the door.

Later that evening, Yoo Ji-han came home and hugged Chae Yoo-jeong, while dropping his own bag at the entrance. This surprised Chae Yoo-jeong a bit, making him lose his balance and almost trip over on the ground.
After removing Yoo ji-han from his body, Chae Yoo-jeong put on this grey apron, and then started to cook dinner. While they were eating what Chae Yoo-jeong had made, Yoo Ji-han explained why he is like this in a calm but stressed voice.
“I have something to tell you. You see…… the head of the department told me that I was selected for the transfer program to Germany… on the condition that I would finish my master’s degree there and also work for the company for five years in return.”
‘It’s kinda noticeable that he’s trying to be calm, but he’s also kinda worried and stressed about how I’ll react.’
Chae Yoo-jeong thought with a sweet smile, as Yoo Ji-han looked at him, waiting to see how he would respond.
“I’ll come with you. I really want to go with you…… I can take this chance to give myself a vacation and a peace of mind and rest. We have a lot to prepare before we go there…… if you want to go, of course……”
“The date isn’t fixed yet, but she said it’ll be, probably, around two or three months before I can go. But… are you really okay with leaving Korea with me?”
‘I’m truly happy and content with this opportunity but… I don’t want Chae Yoo-jeong to follow me just because I need to leave. I don’t want to force him to come along with me, and I don’t want to interfere with his work. Even if we must end things here……’
Yoo Ji-han glanced at Chae Yoo-jung with a worried expression. His dark eyes stared into his brown eyes. Chae Yoo-jung noticed it and reached out to place his hand over Yoo Ji-han’s on the table. Warmth spread from Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand to Yoo Ji-han.
“I’m really okay with going with you, Hyung. And… actually, I’ve been wanting to go somewhere with you. We can take this chance to go on dates as well.”
Chae Yoo-jeong stared at Yoo Ji-han, smiling with golden retriever eyes, like a puppy eager to go on a walk with his master. An imaginary tail wagged behind Chae Yoo-jeong. Yoo Ji-han sighed with relief upon seeing his usual cute behavior. The corners of his eyes loosened since his tension was eased.
‘He’s too precious.’
Chae Yoo-jeong took his hand from the table and kissed Yoo Ji-han’s ring finger, as if to soothe his worries. Yoo Ji-han flinched as he blushed, wanting to hide his face, but could only avert his eyes away.
‘I shouldn’t have been so overly worried about this. It’s so embarrassing.’
