[ Reckless ] - Korean actors

10. Freedom

The final details for the opening are finally settled. Everything is in order and the firm is finally ready to open its doors. Ji Wook and Seo Joon have decided that the fateful date will be exactly 12 days away. They want to allow themselves a week of respite before resuming full-time work. Being a new firm, they will only be able to get a little downtime for quite a while.

The news that the two top lawyers in town are planning to open a firm together has been circulating pretty quickly. As expected, finding clients is not going to be complicated. Several people have already presented themselves at the firm's door, but they have yet to be opened, they have been informed to come back or call to make an appointment during the opening. Hyung Sik is now one of the three lawyers of the firm, he will have his own files and he can, therefore no longer help with everything related to the reception and organization of the files... So they hired a secretary to remove a share of the work. The choice fell on Yacob, who has already worked in several small firms and has legal knowledge. He also seems like a diligent and hardworking person. He gets along well with everyone, Ji Wook and Seo Joon immediately had a good feeling with him. Yacob has gotten to know the team better and is looking forward to getting to work. Being from the middle, he knows that working with such renowned lawyers will not be easy, but he is ready to take up the challenge, it is a huge opportunity for his business.

« Hyung, the two lawyers turned around simultaneously, not knowing who Hyung Sik was referring to. I have an idea... What do you think of doing something with the group to celebrate the firm's opening? We could go to a chalet. We have a week left and everything is already ready. After the opening, taking time off for a while will be hard. Could you bring Hye Kyo Noona and Han Na Noona? What do you think ?

– I like the idea, it's been a long time since we all did something together. I know Todd is free, he has no games this weekend. I don't think Han Na will want to come, but I will ask her.

– Theo isn't doing anything either and I'm sure it would do Yohan good to get a change of scenery. Ji Wook Hyung, can you convince him to come? I will talk to Gam Ri to come, I think she will be happy to spend time with everyone.

– I'll call him tonight. I also think it would do him good. He's been much better for some time now and he's slowly starting to smile again. He shouldn't refuse, especially if Gam Ri comes.

– Perfect ! We could leave this Friday and return next Thursday, giving us 3 days free before the cabinet opens. I'll let Yacob know we'll be away, but it looks like he'll be gone for a few days too for his father's birthday and he's coming back on Friday. »

In the aftermath, Ji Wook goes to his office to talk to Yohan. He is undoubtedly better, but he is still determined to make him come. In the end, he worried for nothing. Yohan is delighted to be invited, he knows that being close to his friends will do him good. It's been three weeks since he's seen anyone but Ji Wook. He spoke with Hyung Sik, but they didn't see each other. The country air will do him the greatest good, he knows it.

Two days later, everyone is excited to go to the cabin. To everyone's surprise, Hye Kyo and Han Na decided to come. Seo Joon and Ji Wook would never have bet on this, as the two have strained relationships with their wives. Seo Joon and Ji Wook go there in their respective cars with their wives. Theo and Todd decided to make the trip together, finding it unnecessary to take two cars while living near each other. Moreover, the two half-brothers have become very close in recent weeks. Both have struggled since the trial and are trying to compensate for lost time. Yohan, Gam Ri, and Hyung Sik share a car. Hyung Sik insisted on bringing the other two, Yohan not particularly wanting to drive; he didn't hesitate.

Hyung Sik having the keys to the chalet, he made sure they arrived first so as not to keep the others waiting. They arrive at the end of the morning and take the time to remove their belongings from the car. They want to wait until everyone is there to divide the rooms. While waiting for everyone to arrive, Gam Ri walked in front of the chalet to the lake.

« Hyung, why are you making that face? Is it because of the conversation we had last week? Ya, why are you still thinking about that...

– Han-ie, I don't understand why you-

– Ah why are you still arguing? I've already told you, it's not your fault if we lost contact, the events made it so that we lost sight of each other for a moment, but look, we found each other. Hyung, that's okay. I know Yoo Jung's passing made you think back to the events of Mom's death, but don't feel guilty. Get that idea out of your head. Don't think about the past, we can't change anything. For now, we are thinking about the beautiful week we will have.

– Hmm, okay, but the subject is far from closed.

- The subject is closed. Anyway, I thought odd that you were looking forward to seeing Theo again. Hearing Yohan's words, Hyung Sik turned to him with wide eyes. Don't look at me like that! Why are you playing innocent? Know that Theo is also looking forward to seeing you again, it was Todd who passed the message.

– I don't know what you're talking about. Ignoring Yohan's laughter at his comment, Hyung Sik continued. Oh look, Ji Wook and Hye Kyo have arrived. I will welcome them. »

Yohan's smile faltered a bit, having forgotten that Hye Kyo would be there. It's the first time he's seen her in real life and he doesn't know how to react when he sees the couple together. He welcomes them with a big smile and makes them discover the chalet's interior. Hyung Sik watches the scene pained, he is not stupid. Nobody is, especially not Hye Kyo.
