—This past Wednesday, two pieces of news came out of the Ilhyeon Group. The first was that President Jeong-eun Lee of Ilhyeon Securities is stepping down from her post, taking responsibility for the slump in the Buy Korea fund. Ilhyeon Securities stated that it will do its utmost to normalize the Buy Korea fund for the time being under the leadership of current Vice-President Seong-hwan Yun…
—The second piece of news concerns the three-way Big Deal negotiations among Sunwoo Group, Mirae Group, and Ilhyeon Group. Ilhyeon Group…
"Driver Kim. Could you turn the sound off, please?"
When the radio began to wake the baby, Gyeong-eun asked the driver to switch it off. Patting the baby's chest gently, she said to Seong-ho, "I should've just said we weren't coming today."
"Worried it'll be noisy?"
"There's no way Sister will stay quiet, so it's bound to be, don't you think?"
"That could happen."
Every time the Ilhyeon Securities matter came up, Jeong-eun would either shout that it wasn't her fault or pin the blame on Seong-ho, so Gyeong-eun figured this time would be no different.
"If Sister makes another scene, it'll frighten our Dong-min…" She looked down at her soundly sleeping son. "Should I have them turn the car around, even now?"
"Today will be fine."
Seong-ho, wearing the same tender smile as Gyeong-eun, gazed down at his son.
"Sister's not one to let things lie, though…"
Gyeong-eun looked at Seong-ho with a puzzled face and tilted her head. The Jeong-eun she knew was by no means one to stay quiet, but at Seong-ho's word that it would be fine, she went on toward Pyeongchang-dong for now.
"Grandpa, Dong-min's here."
Gyeong-eun carried her son in her arms into the Pyeongchang-dong house.
"Good. Come in. You're late."
"We were a bit late because I had to feed Dong-min. Sorry."
Arriving at Pyeongchang-dong, they found the family gathered in the living room around Tak-hyeon, talking. Gyeong-eun quietly studied her siblings, Tak-hyeon, and Suk-ja—to see whether Jeong-eun had made a scene.
"Well, at least you weren't late for the meal. You did well."
Just then…
