When His Eyes Opened- TK

Jungkook reached his arm out through the car window.

Clipped between his slender fingers was a pack of tissue.

Tae was stunned. He was about to decline but ended up uncharacteristically accepting it.

"Thanks."

The warmth of his palm still lingered on the tissues.

Jungkook quickly averted his gaze from his face and rolled up the window as the car sped off.

It was ten in the morning at Kim Industries, and all of its employees were working away at their respective stations.

It had been a month since the company had paid wages. However, Kim Industries was an old player in the industry. Even if all kinds of negative news were circulating on the internet, its employees refused to give up until the very last moment.

If he(Tae) had not known about the company's many debts, Tae could not imagine that the calm atmosphere in front of him was an illusion.

He entered the meeting room with the company's vice president, Moon Minhae.

The lawyer went straight to the point when he saw Tae and said. "I'm very sorry for your loss, Mr. Kim. Your father entrusted me to announce his will, which I will do now."

Tae nodded lightly.

The lawyer opened up a file and said firmly, "Your father had six pieces of real estate which are respectively located in... Here is the file. Please go through it."

Tae took the document and examined it thoroughly.

"Your father also had three parking lots," said the lawyer as he passed another document to him, "as well as eight shop lots, and twelve vehicles."

Tae knew nothing about the family's fortune.

First of all he had no interest in it!

Second of all, his father had never explained it to him.

Now that the lawyer was describing his father's fortune to him, he could not help but feel a sense of unease.

He had no idea that his father was this wealthy.

Since he had all these fixed assets, why did he not sell them and use the money to treat his illness?

"Apart from the aforementioned assets, there is also the company in which we are sitting right now," said the lawyer. Then, after a brief pause, he added, "Your father planned to leave the company to you, but the company is currently operating at a loss."
Tae glanced at the lawyer and said, "By how much?"

Minhae adjusted his glasses and chimed in, "The current deficit is a hundred and twenty-five million. If you take over your father's company, you would also inherit his debt. You may have to sell off all of the properties and cars that were mentioned just now in order to make up for the loss."

Tae was stunned.

A hundred and twenty-five million!

Even if he sold off all of his father's assets, it still would not cover a hundred and twenty-five million!

"You can choose not to accept this, Tae. That way, your father's debt would not fall on you," Minhae said with a sullen expression. "However, I hope you will seriously consider this. This company is your father's life's work. Do you really have the heart to watch it shut down?"

"What about Minji and Sana?" Tae asked after taking a deep breath.

"Don't even mention your stepmother! It's partly her fault that the company is in dire straits. She arranged for her brother to join our finance department a few years ago. He embezzled a lot of money from the company through the years. We don't even know where he's run off to now," sighed Minhae.
