(Actor Park Sungwoong)
"Look, he's here." Sungwoong smiled as he watched Jeonghwan and Jooeun enter the hall. He then gestured for Bogum to stand up.
Seo-jin also spotted Jeonghwan, but his eyes did not remain on him. After all, he had already seen his face for many decades, it wasn't anything new. Instead, he placed his eyes on the woman by his side, Cha Jooeun.
At first glance, this young lady felt quite cold but she didn't seem arrogant. She was quiet with a non-intimidating gaze. Those around her naturally felt comfortable.
Originally, the entire family had expected this nephew of his to remain a bachelor forever. Who would have thought he'd finally be awoken. However, would someone from the entertainment industry be clean?
"Come sit. Were you stuck in traffic?" Seo-jin immediately asked.
He originally thought, no matter what reason Jeonghwan had for being late, he would create an excuse for him: traffic. However, Jeonghwan pulled out the chair like a gentleman and helped Jooeun sit before pulling out his own chair and replying, "There was no traffic."
Seojin's expression changed. Meanwhile, Bogum and Sungwoong's expression wasn't any better.
Jooeun glanced at Seojin and back at Jeonghwan. She noticed the smirk on Jeonghwan's face and quickly responded. "I am so sorry. I was the one stuck in traffic. Jeonghwan was only late because he was waiting for me. I feel really bad for having made you all wait."
As soon as Seojin heard this, his face warmed up before he looked approvingly at Jooeun.
At this time, Jeonghwan grabbed Jooeun's hand under the table, rubbed it a few times, and buried it in his palm. Jooeun understood Jeonghwan had done this on purpose to give her a chance to perform and gain a good impression.
"It's no big deal." Sungwoong waved his hand. He then pointed at Jooeun and said to Seo-jin. "I know who this young lady is. She's been in the news quite often lately."
On the surface, Sungwoong seemed to be praising Jooeun's popularity and fame. But in reality, he was trying to hint that she wasn't someone simple.
After hearing his words, Seojin asked Jeonghwan. "You know about this?"
"Of course."
"Good." Seo-jin completely trusted Jeonghwan's judgment. Since he had brought her to such an important meeting, she definitely meant something to him. It wasn't easy for Jeonghwan to dispose of the single life, so Seojin wasn't going to let her escape.
As a result, he decided to put in a few good words for Jooeun. "It's normal for young people to be fresh and vigorous. Of course, compared to Bogum, we still have a long way to go."
In other words: 'How dare you to ridicule my niece-in-law when your son changes three women a day?'
In actual fact, the two elders were merely here to put on a show. In the world of business, a sword had no eyes. They had already hurt each other so many times, there was no way they could truly be friends.
Of course, Sungwoong was rendered speechless by Seo-jin. After quite some time, he finally returned to the main topic. "I feel really bad that Bogum couldn't keep his mouth shut and has created trouble for Jeonghwan."
"Uncle Sungwoong, did you think everything would be forgiven just because you said you 'feel bad?'" Jeonghwan asked.
"President Lee, if you have the ability, you should go prove yourself to the media. Was it necessary for you to complain to my father?" Bogum asked with a frivolous tone and arrogant attitude. It appeared he had no intention to apologize. Of course, Jeonghwan wasn't here to get an apology from him either.
"Shut your mouth!" Sungwoong roared at Bogum angrily. "Apart from playing with women all day, what else can you do?"
"I don't understand. Does SM need to be suppressed by GK?"
"It seems President Park has his objections." Jeonghwan looked at the father and son as he lifted his eyebrows. At this time, Seojin did not intend to step in, he just wanted to concentrate on watching the show.
"Let's compete, so you can prove to me that you are a real man?" Bogum squinted lazily at Jeonghwan.
"Let's do it then." Jeonghwan replied swiftly.
"What do you want to compete with me against?"
"Since we have everything we need here, then let's compete for one thing at a time. I'll let you decide on the challenge. We will have 5 rounds. As long as you win one, I'll consider you the victor."
Victory with one win!
Let's not mention Bogum, even Jooeun was a little surprised by Jeonghwan's offer. Victory with one win? How much disdain and shame did this represent?
Bogum's face turned red as he stood up from his seat. "Since we are men, we should speak with our fists. The first round, let's compete in boxing."
"You asked for it." Jeonghwan gave a refined smile.
"A word of warning though, I plan to let the media in." Seojin pointed to the furiously photo-snapping reporters.
Originally, Seojin thought Jeonghwan would disagree. But he instead answered in an unexpected way. "Up to you."
He then stood up and pulled Jooeun up with him. "In 10 minutes, I'll see you in the boxing ring. Let's go get ready."
"Just because you are getting ready, why do you need to take...?" Seojin looked at the couple and questioned.
Jeonghwan's expression remained composed as he lifted an eyebrow. "I need her."
After speaking, he led Jooeun towards the boxing stadium, disregarding the media at the entrance.
Seojin turned around and sighed. He suddenly realized, his normally emotionless nephew had this other side of him – what a shock.
Bogum watched as the couple left. He then stood up and also headed for the stadium.
"Should we go too?" Seojin said to Sungwoong.
"Let's go have a look."
In actual fact, Sungwoong was also curious about how his son compared to others.
Not long after, the reporters were led into the boxing stadium to become the audience for the fight.
"The only reason GK is being so open today is because they want to clear up the rumors, right?"
"What rumor is he trying to clear with boxing? From my point of view, when has President Lee ever lost? Previously, the netizens' discussions were saying that President Park's body is perfect. I have a feeling President Lee is going to show us all his body."
"But he's never been this childish."
"Then how do you explain what we see before us?"
The reporters located their photography vantage points and whispered amongst themselves. They were right, Lee Jeonghwan wasn't usually this childish. But this was before Jooeun said one simple thing. When she said that she didn't want to see him get devalued.
Sometimes, when life got too boring, bringing one's wife out to play could increase the level of enjoyment. Especially when one could teach a jerk a lesson.
Inside the change room, Jooeun looked at Jeonghwan's naked upper body. Her face involuntarily turned red. "I don't want others to see it."
"It's OK, they can only look. From now on, they can merely drool!"
