"Okay, sir. I will do that."
The man, who was with BM Entertainment's manager, asked, "Who is it?"
"He has a 20-floor building in Sinsa Town. He has a connection with a lot of high-ranking government officers in China as well."
"Wow, did you see his car? It's Bentley. That car costs 300 million won."
When Gun-Ho came back to his office, the first thing that he did was send a text message to his wife—Young-Eun Kim. He didn't want to give her a call because she might be in the middle of giving medical treatment to her patients.
[I just got scolded by a relative for not having visited our parents yet after our honeymoon trip. I think we'd better visit both our parents this Saturday.]
Young-Eun replied to him after quite a while.
[Let's go to your parents' during lunchtime on Saturday to Guweol Town in Incheon City, and then we can stop by Sillim Town to see my father in the evening.]
Once he received the confirmation from Young-Eun, Gun-Ho made a call to his mother.
"Mom, we will stop by home around lunchtime this Saturday. I wanted to go see you and father right after the honeymoon trip, but I couldn't make it because I was held up at work."
"Sounds good. Why don't you visit Young-Eun's father after coming to see us on Saturday? Since her father is living by himself, he must feel lonely and will be happy to see you both."
"Okay, mom."
It was Friday. When Gun-Ho went to his home in TowerPalace, Young-Eun was there already. He could smell Doenjang-jjigae*.
"Did you cook?"
"Yeah. I cooked rice with a rice cooker. It will last at least three days. The soup can't go more than two days, so if you don't finish it by then, just throw it out."
"This condo feels homey now."
"Go and wash yourself first before dinner."
"I guess I don't have to eat outside any longer."
After washing his hands and feet, Gun-Ho sat at the dining table facing Young-Eun.
There were just-cooked white rice, Doenjang-jjigae, kimchi, fried eggs, and other side dishes like seasoned vegetables and beans.
"The rice, Doenjang-jjigae, and kimchi are the only ones that I cooked. Everything else is from a side-dish store."
"Bon appetit."
It was the very first time for Gun-Ho to eat food that was cooked by his wife. The rice was good, but the Doenjang-jjigae was below average. Gun-Ho missed his mother's Doenjang-jjigae.
'I shouldn't let her know that her Doenjang-jjigae is not good. I should appreciate her time and effort for this. I read some articles from the Internet about how to maintain a happy marriage. It said I should pretend that I really enjoy my wife's food even though I actually don't. Well, this Doenjang-jjigae is really awkward.'
"How is it? Is it good?"
"Yeah, it's good."
"You like it?"
"Sure."
"Then how come you don't eat much?"
"I'm eating right now."
Gun-Ho ate fried eggs, dried seaweed, and kimchi mostly. Again, the rice was good since it was just cooked by a rice cooker.
"Thank you for dinner. I will clean the dishes. Just leave them in the sink."
"I will do the dishes. Can you move things from my car for me, instead?"
"What things?"
"I have some books and gifts for our parents in my car."
"Oh, okay."
Gun-Ho followed Young-Eun to the garage.
When Young-Eun opened her SM5's trunk, there were tons of books there.
"You have so many books here."
"These books are old books that I don't often read anymore. My condo is currently cranked with my books and the bookshelf there is overflowing, so I just wanted to move some of them here."
"I think I need to bring a cart. I have it in my car. Give me one second."
Gun-Ho moved all of the books to the condo. It took him two travels.
"How did you get these from your condo to your car? These are heavy."
"The security guard there helped me. I had to travel four times between my condo and my car."
"It's good to have a husband, huh?"
