Ji Han-Seok, Je-Woon and Kang Ra-Eun’s family sat together on the couch.
“Where’s Yi-Seo?” asked Kang Ra-Hyuk.
“She went to the kitchen to get us some drinks. She’ll be back soon.”
As soon as Ra-Eun finished her sentence, Seo Yi-Seo brought a large tray filled with drinks and cookies and set them down on the table. Ra-Hyuk asked if she needed help, but she shook her head.
“You’re our guest today, so just stay seated, oppa.”
In the meantime, Ji Han-Seok and Je-Woon showered Ra-Eun’s father with their gifts.
“Sir. Je-Woon and I bought this red ginseng juice and nutritional supplements for you. You work a labor-heavy job, so energy supplementation is crucial.”
“Oh, you shouldn’t have...”
The two men had bought gifts far more expensive than the housewarming gift that Ra-Eun’s family had brought. Ra-Eun’s father had simply visited to congratulate her on the move and to give her their gift, but had ended up receiving gifts instead.
Ra-Eun sighed while bearing witness to their gift shower and said, “I told them that it’s okay so many times, but they were insistent on getting you something.”
Han-Seok and Je-Woon replied immediately.
“How could we possibly greet your father empty-handed?”
“For our very first meeting, no less. Wouldn’t you agree, sir?”
They were already famous for being kind to their acquaintances, but they were being excessively kind to Ra-Eun’s father. Every action had a purpose; there was a reason why they were being so assertive, and it was obviously because they liked Ra-Eun. Having no idea of this, Ra-Eun’s father thought about whether to accept the gift or not. It was difficult to accept their good intentions due to the pressure. However, Han-Seok and Je-Woon continued to say that it was alright.
“We’re giving these to you because we want to, so please don’t feel pressured by it. Right, Han-Seok?”
“Je-Woon is right, sir. If you need anything other than a gift, please just say the words and we will get it ready for you.”
Ra-Eun’s father quickly waved his hands in refusal.
“No, I don’t want anything in particular... I just want you to keep treating my daughter well. That will be more than enough for me.”
The request was a cinch for the two men. Even without his request, Han-Seok and Je-Woon were already treating Ra-Eun very well. However, their idea of treating her well might be a little different from what Ra-Eun’s father had in mind.
***
After a short chit chat, Ra-Eun continued the house tour that had been put on hold. She had realized that having Ra-Hyuk and their father come at this time wasn’t a bad idea at all.
‘I won’t have to do another house tour, so that’s good for me.’
Her family members stayed shocked during the entire house tour.
“I’ve never seen a house with a garden before. You could get a few people here and play football.”
That was how wide the garden was.
“Did you tend to it after you moved here?” Ra-Hyuk asked.
“We’ve only been here a few days. How would we have time to tend to the garden when we’re not even finished unpacking yet?”
