It was Sunday, Seungcheol found himself at the breakfast table with his parents.
The sun was casting a soft, golden light through the large windows of their dining room, adding a serene quality to the start of the day.
Seungcheol's father was a dignified man with an air of authority that came naturally to him.
His mother was warm and attentive, though she had a sharp mind and a keen sense of observation.
As Seungcheol enjoyed his breakfast, his father glanced at him with a contemplative expression.
"So, Seungcheol,"
His father began, his tone casual but with an underlying seriousness.
"You seemed particularly engaged last night at the gala. I noticed you spent a lot of time with Jeonghan."
Seungcheol looked up from his plate, his fork pausing mid-air.
He'd anticipated that his father might comment on the gala, but not this directly.
"Yes, appa. Jeonghan was very receptive and contributed a lot to the event's success."
His father's gaze sharpened slightly.
"I'm sure he did. But I need to ask you something important. Do you have... personal feelings for him?"
Seungcheol's heart skipped a beat. He met his father's steady gaze, feeling a wave of apprehension. He wasn't expecting this question, and it took a moment for him to compose his thoughts.
"No, I don't."
Seungcheol lied.
His father's expression remained serious.
"I hope you don't, Seungcheol. You know how important it is to maintain professionalism. The no-dating policy is in place for a reason, and it must be adhered to."
Seungcheol nodded, trying to mask the disappointment in his eyes.
His mother, sensing the tension, intervened with a gentle tone.
"Seungcheol, we know you're a responsible person. Just remember that there are boundaries for a reason.It's important to keep your personal life separate from your professional life."
Seungcheol took a deep breath, nodding in agreement.
"Yes, eomma. I will keep that in mind."
His father's expression softened slightly.
"Good. I trust you to make the right decisions. Your commitment to the company and its values is what matters most."
The conversation shifted as breakfast continued, but the weight of the discussion lingered in Seungcheol's mind.
