Gyeong-eun's siblings, having skipped even their meal, sat gathered in a circle with Seong-ho at the center.

They simply couldn't understand how convertible bonds in the logistics division spun off from Ilhyeon Distribution could possibly count as a gift.

Seong-ho looked around at Gyeong-eun's siblings, who watched him without blinking, and thought.
