I folded my arms and thought deeply. If Noh Jae-sik was threatening my mother, I had to stop him as much as possible. I don't know what would happen, but it wouldn't be good for me either.

And I had to be fully prepared because I didn't know if this would just be resolved or if it would be resolved through the intervention of Choi Seung-hyun from the original. I racked my brain.

The best thing to do would be to say that the father already knows the facts and has accepted everything, so he cannot be threatened based on that fact. However, this is nonsense, so it is rejected.

Next, Nana's mother was the first to tell her grandfather about his threats. She tearfully appealed that Mr. Noh was threatening us with false facts. However, in this case, apart from dealing with Noh Jae-sik, there was a high probability that I would have to undergo a paternity test again. This also would not work.

'Damn, please write the supporting side character's stories in detail too.'

I swore at the invisible writer. Then Do-yoon looked at my serious face and asked cautiously.

"...Hyung, are you okay?"

"Huh!"

I flinched and deliberately made a brighter expression. The story about Noh Jae-sik was one of the things that had to be kept a secret from Do-yoon. Even if he found out later, I didn't want it to be now.

But then, the phone suddenly rang loudly. When the name [Father] appeared on the screen, Do-yoon and I stiffened slightly as we looked at him. It was the least welcome name at that moment. I coughed a few times and picked up the phone.

"Yes, father."

He said it out of the blue.

<The CEO keeps saying he regrets that you left early today. Come out, and make an appointment this weekend.>

"...Yes?"

Is this guy crazy? He should have just roughly matched the mood at the gallery earlier, but he can't read the mood and just calls people anywhere, causing a ruckus. I answered almost reflexively.

"I'm going on a business trip this weekend."

<It's not like you have to go there. You don't have to prioritize your work.>

You don't know what my job is, I said bluntly.

"Anyway, it won't work. Either postpone it or have your father go on his own. Do whatever you want."

<What? Are you crazy?>

"I'm hanging up."

Then Do-yoon opened his eyes wide and looked at me. He seemed a little shocked.

"This is the first time I've seen you talk like that to Dad...."

I was a little flustered after yelling at him in a fit of anger.

"Oh really? How was I usually?"

"Just a little more.... Whenever father called you, you would always obey. In the past, your really liked it when father contacts you."

The original Choi Seung-hyun must have been like that. Since I had almost no contact with President Choi Young-gil after I was possessed, I didn't even know that. But if even Do-yoon could notice that I was swearing at my father, then President Choi Young-gil himself couldn't have not known. Thinking about it, I felt disgusted that he had been neglecting me all this time, and now that an important business partner had taken a liking to me, he was suddenly calling me.

He was like a person who didn't know what was important when his wife's lover was right in front of him. For my own safety, the secret of my birth should not be revealed, but when I thought of President Choi Young-gil, I had mixed feelings about wanting to tell him before he died.
