Ilhyeon's championship dominated every newspaper and broadcast all through the weekend, starting Friday.

The story of this year's championship run even got made into a documentary special.

A weekend special program bringing in the players themselves to talk about the win aired as well, drawing plenty of eyes to television screens across the country.

Jeong-eun looked across at Seong-ho and offered her congratulations.

"Why not? It's something everyone should be happy about, so why shouldn't it be shared? It's exactly this kind of attitude that's put the company in the state it's in."

"Dad."

Tak-hyeon slapped a palm down on the armrest.

Jeong-eun pursed her lips and lowered her head at that.

Sitting beside her, Yeong-su Cha, seeing Jeong-eun like this, spoke up in her defense.
