Rivalry Rewritten: Enmity to Intimacy ( Volume: 2)

Six

As San's parents show him the picture of Wooyoung with another guy, San's mind races with questions and concerns. He reassures his parents that while social media may be quick to jump to conclusions, nothing is confirmed until they hear it from Wooyoung himself. Sensing his parents' growing unease, San suggests giving Wooyoung a call to discuss the situation directly.

San's parents nod in agreement, and they dial Wooyoung's number together. With a mix of anticipation and anxiety, they wait for Wooyoung to pick up, their hearts pounding with uncertainty. Finally, after a few rings, Wooyoung answers the call, and San's parents waste no time in asking him about the picture and the guy in it.

Wooyoung listens patiently as his parents voice their concerns, his heart heavy with the weight of their expectations. Taking a deep breath, he gathers his thoughts and explains that while he values their opinion, the picture may not tell the whole story. He reassures them that he will address the situation with honesty and transparency, and asks for their support as he navigates this delicate matter.

" I understand you, Wooyoung. But you know that you are related to me, the owner of one of the most known enterprises in the country. You are my son and therefore you are currently the talk of the town for this scandal of yours. You should've informed us before wanting something like this."
Mr Choi expressed his concern.

Mr. Choi's words weigh heavily on Wooyoung as he listens to his father's concerns about the potential fallout from his relationship becoming public. With a somber expression, Wooyoung acknowledges his father's point, feeling a pang of regret for not considering the implications of his fame before entering into a relationship.

"I'm sorry, Mr Choi," Wooyoung says softly, his voice tinged with remorse. "I should have thought about how this would affect our family, especially with my status in Korea."

Mr. Choi's expression softens as he speaks, "It's okay, son. We understand that love knows no boundaries. We just worry about the impact this might have on you and the family."

Wooyoung nods, gratitude swelling within him for his father's understanding. "I know, Mr Choi. But Seonghwa makes me happy, and I hope that won't cause trouble for us."

Mr. Choi's gaze softens with paternal affection as he gazes at his son. "Your happiness is what matters most to us, Wooyoung. We'll figure this out together as a family. Take care of yourself, son."

With that Mr Choi disconnected the call and turned to San, a serious look on his face. San listens intently as his father informs him of the plan to hold a press conference regarding Wooyoung's relationship. While the idea of facing the press is daunting, San understands the importance of protecting Wooyoung's privacy and allowing him to live his life without undue intrusion.

"I'm with you, Dad," San says firmly, his resolve shining through. "Wooyoung deserves to have his personal life respected, and if holding a press conference is what it takes to make that happen, then I'll do it."

Mr. Choi nods, pride evident in his eyes as he looks at his son. "Thank you, San. Your support means a lot to Wooyoung and to our family."

With a sense of determination fueling him, San prepares himself mentally for the task ahead, knowing that standing up for his brother is the right thing to do. Together, father and son will face the press tomorrow, united in their commitment to safeguarding Wooyoung's happiness and well-being.

The next day, San was already seated in the conference room for the matter. The conference room buzzed with the energy of reporters eager to uncover the truth behind Wooyoung's relationship. San, seated at the head of the table, exuded an air of composure as he prepared to face the barrage of questions.
