A second chance at love

Chapter 168: Young and handsome

**********************

Sure! Here's the rewritten version with the names replaced:

---

As the sun sets and darkness covers the sky, a beautiful Spanish mansion stood in all its glory. All the lights outside flicker on, radiating the mansion's beauty.

Inside one of the many rooms of the brightly lit mansion, Old Man Kim sat in his study. Laid across his desk were every piece of information about the almighty and cold king of the business world.

Reaching out his old and wrinkled hand, he grabs a piece of paper. His eyes scan through every word.

"Cough... cough!"

Old Man Kim quickly takes his handkerchief out and covers his mouth. He continues to cough.

"Chairman..."

Standing quietly at the side, Zhang Yong quickly reacted, but was stopped. Old Man Kim held one hand up and shook his head at his assistant.

"I'm fine... cough."

Zhang Yong's expression turned to sorrow. His friend and boss was sick, and there was nothing he could do about it. If he could, he would rather be the one sick. Unlike Old Man Kim, he didn't have any children to worry for him. His wife had left him behind ten years ago, and now, he was just waiting till it was his time to join her...

Old Man Kim took a deep breath as his coughing stopped. Moving the handkerchief away from his mouth, he looked at it.

*Knock knock*

"Grandpa?"

Hearing the voice of his grandson, Old Man Kim quickly hides the handkerchief. He takes another deep breath to steady himself.

"Come in."

The door to the study room opens, and Bangchan enters the room. His youthful self was almost healed, except for the bandage gauze wrapped on his head and a cast on his left arm.

Old Man Kim looks at his grandson. After he left the Lu Household, Bangchan had called and said he didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore. He had said he could recover at home. The doctors had also done a thorough check on him and said he was stable enough to leave.

Old Man Kim sighed inside his old heart. He clenched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, then he smiled warmly at his grandson.

"What is it? You're bored, so you come to pick a fight with this old man?"

Hearing this, Bangchan pouted his lips. He mumbled under his breath, then walked to the chair across from the old man. He plopped down and flung his head back.

"Old man, I'm in great pain and here you are saying I want to pick a fight. No shame at all."

"In pain? Who was it that called and cried like a baby to leave the hospital?"

"Y-You..."

Bangchan quickly looked at the old man. He pouted his lips again. The old man had spoken the truth, but Bangchan wasn't crying like a baby. He sighed, and his body sat lazily in the chair.

"What are you doing? Why do you have so much information on people?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Bangchan shot his eyes open and pointed at the old man.

"D-Don't tell me you're looking for a wife? You're so old already!"

Old Man Kim: "...."

Zhang Yong: "Pfffff..."

Old Man Kim looked dumbfounded at Bangchan. For someone in pain, the boy sure had a lot of energy. However, this was the Bangchan he loved- the boy who always kept his daily life occupied. Old Man Kim lightly waved his hand to gesture to Zhang Yong.

"Yes, Chairman."

Zhang Yong moved forward and started collecting all the pieces of paper on the desk. He moved so fast that Bangchan didn't get a chance to see what the papers were about.

"Zhang Yong, you can leave."

"Yes, sir."

With narrowed eyes, Bangchan stared suspiciously at his grandfather. Thinking of something, he waited until Zhang Yong left the study room.

When the door closed, Bangchan scoffed at the old man, "Ya, why are you being so secretive? It's just an old lady, right?"

Old Man Kim shook his head. Did his grandson somehow lower his high IQ and EQ after what he experienced?

"Why are you planning to remarry? You're already over 70 years old... you should-"

"Bangchan."

Old Man Kim interrupted the boy. His eyes glaring daggers, as if he wanted to suffocate him.

Seeing this, Bangchan pressed his lips tightly together to hold in his laugh. He just wanted to get back at the old man for calling him a crybaby.

"If I wanted to remarry, I would have done that a long time ago."

Old Man Kim moved his eyes from Bangchan and looked at four picture frames neatly lined up on his desk. From right to left, the picture frames were in order: Bangchan alone in one frame, Lisa in another, then Lisa's mother and father together. Lastly, his eyes landed on the picture frame in the far left.

The picture inside this frame was of a woman. She was neither young nor old- a woman in her fifties. She sat in the middle of a flower garden, and the smile on her face was one that could bring joy to one's heart, like the sun shining on one's world.

Seeing where his grandfather was looking, Bangchan's expression turned indescribable. He spoke in an almost whisper.

"Do you miss nai nai?"

Old Man Kim stared deeply at the picture. He could remember everything about the woman- from their childhood to when they became girlfriend and boyfriend. Even their time as husband and wife.

Hearing Bangchan's question, he sighed, "Everyday."

A faint smile curled on Bangchan's lips. He still remembered his grandmother, and he missed her too. She was the one who suggested a new life for the poor him- the him who had nothing.

He looked at the old man, and his expression turned serious, "Grandpa, don't remarry. You can't betray nai nai."

"...."

Old Man Kim was dumbfounded. Remarry? Betray? When did he say he was going to remarry? Let alone betray the woman he loved?

Old Man Kim: "Oi, who said I was remarrying? You dare to look down on my love for your nai nai? Hm?"

Bangchan: "But I saw the-"

Old Man Kim: "Hmmf, I may still be young and handsome, but there is only one woman for me. Even in death, I will love and be loyal to her. Hmmf."

Bangchan: "..."

Old Man Kim: "Say, who said I was going to remarry? Huh?"

Bangchan: "I just saw all the things Zhang Yong took away. Why do you have information on people?"

Old Man Kim arched both his brows in surprise. This is why Bangchan thought he was remarrying? However, to keep from laughing, he nodded his head and maintained a serious look.

"I was looking to find your sister a husband. What do you think about it?"

"What do I think? I think you shouldn't think about remarrying. I mean, why-"

Realizing the old man's words, Bangchan's eyes widened in great shock. This entire time, he had thought his grandfather was going to remarry, but it was actually...

Bangchan pouted his lip, "Who?"

He really wanted his sister to be happy, but her happiness was taken from her when Shin died. Even he didn't know if his sister would ever marry again...

Old Man Kim smiled faintly at his grandson. Everything was written on the little boy's face. He sighed and decided to ask for Bangchan's opinion.

"What do you think about Jungkook?"
