Chapter 199: Chapter 199 It was already dark when he left the police station. Yoo-hyun had a light dinner with his friends and then went back to the hospital where his mother was admitted. His father was still keeping watch in the ward, and his younger sister Han Jae Hee was also there. His mother greeted him with a cheerful expression. “Did you have fun with your friends?” “Yes, I had a lot of fun.” Yoo-hyun answered sweetly to his mother’s question. Sometimes, a white lie was necessary. That’s when his sister asked him without any tact. “Brother, your fist looks scraped. What happened?” “Huh? Oh, this? I guess I scraped it a bit.” “What’s that on your clothes? Where did you roll around?” She should have stopped by now, but Han Jae Hee was persistent. She really showed her true colors when she drank. Yoo-hyun tried to laugh it off awkwardly. “No, nothing like that. Hahaha.” “Brother, did you...” “Ah, Jae Hee, hold on a second.” “Why are you like this? Hmph.” When that didn’t work, Yoo-hyun finally covered his sister’s mouth. Then he smiled as if nothing was wrong and said. “Father, mother, excuse me for a moment. I need to talk to Jae Hee for a bit.” “Go ahead. Don’t be too hard on her.” As soon as Yoo-hyun let go of his hand, Han Jae Hee shouted. “Dad, why do I have to get scolded?” “Hey, be quiet.” “Hmph. What’s wrong with you?” Yoo-hyun quickly covered his sister’s mouth again and dragged her out. Han Jae Hee crossed her arms and looked at Yoo-hyun in the hallway. “Don’t tell me you’re going to talk about graduation again.” “That too.” “I’m working hard, you know.” “I know.” He had heard that she was working hard. But what should he talk about? He had pulled her out impulsively to cover up, but he couldn’t think of anything to say. “What is it? Spit it out.” “Um...” “Be honest. Brother, you got into a fight today, didn’t you?” Yoo-hyun shook his head at Han Jae Hee’s question. “Huh? No, not at all.” “Come on, I can tell just by looking at you.” She had a surprisingly sharp eye. Yoo-hyun looked at his sister in wonder. A name popped into his head. The name he had thought of when he faced the thugs at the gym a while ago. “Ah, right. I remembered the name.” “What?” “The Yang guy I told you about.” “Not that again?” Yoo-hyun said with a stern expression to Han Jae Hee who was fuming. “Yang Woo Chan, that bastard.” “Gasp.” “You know him, right?” “Gulp.” It was obvious. Han Jae Hee knew Yang Woo Chan without even looking at her face. Yoo-hyun pressed his sister. “Hey, tell me.” “Well, I know... I know him.” “Never get involved with him. He’s a total piece of trash.” “...” Han Jae Hee blinked her eyes as Yoo-hyun spoke harshly. She seemed to be confused by the sudden turn of events. She regained her senses and asked. “But how do you know him?” “Hey, that’s not important right now.” Yoo-hyun ignored his sister’s words that came in. Fortunately, Han Jae Hee’s expression wasn’t good when she thought of Yang Woo Chan, so Yoo-hyun was relieved for now. But he was still worried about one thing. His sister’s husband in the past was a very mean guy. “Can I see it?” Yoon Ki Choon nodded at Kim Young Gil’s words. “Yes, of course.” “Hmm, good.” Yoon Ki Choon also nodded and dug deeper. He didn’t need to know all this at this point. “And this is...” “Yes. This is the countermeasure for this part...” But Kim Young Gil answered sincerely. He was the only person who actively stepped forward from the development team. He also received a lot of help along the way, so he wanted to tell him more. Yoon Ki Choon, who was listening to the explanation, tilted his head and asked. “Did you prepare a backup plan for the panel side? This is not easy, you know.” “Yes. The panel part is...” Then, Yoo-hyun kicked Kim Young Gil’s foot. Kim Young Gil, who paused for a moment, looked at Yoo-hyun. ‘It’s better not to say this.’ Kim Young Gil read Yoo-hyun’s small gesture and quickly changed his words. “Yes. As you said, it wasn’t easy.” “I’m sure it wasn’t.” “Yes. I think I’ll need a lot of help from you, senior.” “Sure, sure. Don’t worry. Then, prepare well for the presentation.” Yoon Ki Choon’s expression changed to a slightly disappointed one. He got up from his seat. He was about to turn around when he said. “Ah, the new person in charge is pretty scary. You should know that.” “Yes. Thank you.” “Hehe. What can I do? See you later.” “Please take a look.” “Hehehe.” Yoon Ki Choon left a laugh and got up from his seat. The artificial laughter that had been going on since before irritated Yoo-hyun. After Yoon Ki Choon left, Kim Young Gil hurriedly asked. “Yoo-hyun, why did you do that earlier?” “Just. I thought there was no need to tell him everything.” “I guess so. But don’t worry about him. He’s a good person, at least.” “That’s good to hear.” Yoo-hyun hid his feelings and nodded. It was a wrong judgment. To Yoo-hyun, he was a person who could change his attitude at any time. He was nice to anyone who helped him, but he also had to be prepared for the possibility that he wouldn’t. It was the most bitter thing to be stabbed in the back by someone he had a good memory of. Yoo-hyun thought for a moment, and Kim Young Gil sighed. “Sigh... But I’m more worried about the presentation.” “Don’t worry too much.” “You don’t know Go Jun Ho, the executive. He’s no joke.” “Really?” “Yeah. I worked with him and Apple when I was in the 3rd part. He’s famous for being scary.” Yoo-hyun couldn’t not know Go Jun Ho, the executive. He was the former 3rd part who had taken the achievements of the 4th part where Yoo-hyun was dispatched. He had a bulldozer-like style, but he was also very vicious in front of the results. Now he was the 4th part and was connected with Yoo-hyun. Thanks to that, the difficulty of his work life had increased. Yoo-hyun imagined the situation and looked at Kim Young Gil’s intentions. “Manager.” “What?” “Can I step up a bit at this meeting?” “What are you talking about? You’re also in charge.” “Yes. Then I’ll do that.” Kim Young Gil answered as if it was obvious, and Yoo-hyun nodded. It was time to get serious. A little later, the meeting was held in the 4th part conference room. Everyone from the preceding product team, including Go Jun Ho, the executive of the 4th part, attended. Yoo-hyun looked at Go Jun Ho and remembered the past. The deep wrinkles on his forehead, the thick eyebrows, and the fierce eyes matched Yoo-hyun’s memory. He glared at the team members with a fierce expression. “It’s shabby.” “Our team has a few people.” Kim Ho Gul, the chief (same rank as director), answered Go Jun Ho’s words. “It’s not about the number of people. Just go ahead.” “Yes, sir.” Kim Ho Gul answered with a stiff expression. He was clearly nervous.
