Taehyung

"Of course, of course, my daughter also has a business degree so she can definitely help Taehyung." Mr. Lee said in response when my father asked if Miss Lee had knowledge about business.

"That's very good. Then from tomorrow she can help Taehyung with the company's work. These days he is also very busy with our new project, right? Taehyung?" Hearing my father call my name, I looked up from my food plate at him.

"Sure." I said curtly. Both of them continued their conversation after my response. I looked again at the food plate in front of me. I honestly barely touched it and I don't have much idea about its taste either.

"Don't you like the food?" I heard Miss Lee ask me from across me. I looked at her, her eyes staring at my full plate of food, "I thought you might like to try Korean food."

"Yeah, I like it, it's just that I had a coffee in the morning, and now I'm just full." I said, taking some scallions from the fork and putting them in my mouth,it's taste  slightly spicy - they call them kimchi or something - and she smiled, turning back to her plate.

It's been two days, I've yelled at my wife and apologized for it, but I'm still really upset. I didn't say anything that I said out of desire or intention. I sent the words out of my anger, fear, and sadness. But I know my wife thinks about them too much.

It's a bad habit of hers.

Overthinking every little thing. In these two days, I saw her zoning out more than usual. I know I'm the reason and I'm angry with myself now. If I had control over my mouth at that time, none of this would have happened.

But again, when she gets hurt or something happens, I don't even know what I'm doing at that time. At times like that, I always act like I've lost my mind.

I was planning to go home early and make it up for her today. But it seems that God is not on my side.

Well, when was he at least on my side?

If he had been by my side, these absurd things would not have happened in our lives.

My father called this morning and said that with the problem that happened two days ago, Mr. Lee called and asked for a meeting again. He invited us to his home for lunch.

But surprisingly, my father did not tell me anything about that incident. In the call with Mother that night, she said he was very upset, so I at least expected him to preach like usual, saying how I had behaved in front of the guests in a way that tarnished his image and that I had disappointed him. But he didn't say a word about it and I know very well that my mother is behind it. She took care of it as she told me. I am very thankful to her for that.

So here I am, eating lunch at the dining table of the penthouse the Lee family bought to stay in Italy. My mother couldn't join the meal, because her unmarried sister was sick, mother went to take care of her, she said she would come back in two days. So it was just me and my father.

I looked at the two old men. Laughing with each other and enjoying the night more than ever. The two of them are apparently talking to join Miss Lee with me to work in the office.

They think that it will give her more knowledge and experience about business. But I know that father is doing this on purpose. His ulterior motive is to bring her closer to me. I mentally rolled my eyes at their foolish attempts.

Surprisingly, Miss Lee has no problem with that either. Or does she really not know the underlying meaning of their words?

There was a sudden silence in the atmosphere. I think the two old men got tired of talking and finally decided to eat. Mrs. Lee was silent the whole time anyway, but if my mother had been here I would have heard her talking endlessly. In the silent atmosphere, the sound of chopsticks hitting glass plates can be heard.
