Gun-Ho’s Bentley arrived at the entrance of Seoul National University Hospital . Usually, a security guard would come to ask to drive off from the entrance if they saw a car parked there, but since it was a Bentley, no one said anything .
Young-Eun showed up at the entrance . She was wearing a heavy scarf because it was a cold day .
“Here! Over here!”
Gun-Ho got off the car and opened the door for Young-Eun . Young-Eun seemed to be surprised when she saw Gun-Ho’s Bentley .
Chan-Ho was curious when he realized that the person who Gun-Ho wanted to pick up was a young lady . Chan-Ho glanced at Young-Eun through the rearview mirror . Young-Eun asked Gun-Ho, “Is this your company car?”
“Yes, it is . ”
“It looks so expensive . ”
Young-Eun didn’t ask how much it would cost to buy a car like that, and Gun-Ho didn’t say anything about the price either .
“Chan-Ho, say hello to her . She is a doctor at Seoul National University Hospital . ”
“Hello . ”
Chan-Ho greeted Young-Eun while looking at her through the rearview mirror . Young-Eun smiled and said, “You must be working for the company . ”
“Yes, I am . ”
“You are such a good looking young man . What’s your name?”
“I’m Chan-Ho Eom . ”
“Mr . Chan-Ho Eom! Please take this . ”
Young-Eun took out a health drink from her purse and handed it to Chan-Ho .
Gun-Ho said to Young-Eun who was sitting next to him in the rear seat, “Chan-Ho is 29 years old . ”
“Oh, I am older than him . ”
Chan-Ho spoke while still looking at Young-Eun through the rearview mirror, “I’ve been always hoping to know a medical doctor personally . ”
“Haha . Knowing a medical doctor personally is not that useful as you might expect . We just know our area of specialty . ”
When the car entered into a riverside road, Young-Eun stared outside the window . She didn’t say much, maybe because she was not alone with Gun-Ho, but Chan-Ho was present and could listen to their conversation . Gun-Ho was also looking outside the window without a word .
Gun-Ho’s phone started ringing . It was from his sister .
“Gun-Ho, are you on the way home?”
“Yes, I am . ”
“I heard you are bringing a medical doctor? Is it true? How did you two meet?”
“Sis, she is in the car with me right now . I will talk to you later . ”
“Okay, got you . I will be waiting for you . I really look forward to meeting her . ”
Gun-Ho’s Bentley arrived at his parents’ home—HillState Condo in Guweol Town .
“I will be waiting for you here, sir . ”
“Okay . I will give you a call if I’m going to be late . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
Gun-Ho and Young-Eun walked toward the building entrance . Young-Eun looked calm . She didn’t seem to be the type that easily showed her emotion .
When they arrived at the door, he found it slightly open . His parents purposefully kept it open expecting Gun-Ho to come in . When Gun-Ho and Young-Eun entered the condo, Gun-Ho’s mother ran toward the door . His mother was wearing a Korean traditional dress . Gun-Ho thought that her mother was overly prepared to meet her future daughter-in-law .
“This is my mother . ”
“Hello . It’s a pleasure to meet you, ma’am . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother stared at Young-Eun while standing at the entrance hall without moving . She was supposed to say hello and ask Young-Eun to come in and have a sit on the sofa, but she was just staring at Young-Eun without a word .
Gun-Ho finally broke the silence .
“Mom . You probably remember her from Seoul National University Hospital . She is the doctor who helped relieve your constipation . ”
“That’s right! I was trying to figure out where I saw this lady . Oh, my gosh . I’m so glad to see you again . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother grabbed Young-Eun’s hand in delight .
“Please come on in . Have a seat . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother dragged Young-Eun while holding her hand and led her to the sofa .
Young-Eun said while sitting on the sofa, “How are you feeling these days? How’s your spine?”
“I’m doing great . I can’t believe you will be my daughter-in-law . I’m so excited . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother’s voice was shaking in excitement . She quickly went to the master bedroom to ask Gun-Ho’s father to come out . He was wearing a traditional Korean dress as well .
‘Oh, my gosh . Why are they wearing traditional Korean dresses? They look so unnatural,’ Gun-Ho thought .
“This is my father . ”
Gun-Ho introduced him to Young-Eun .
“Hello, sir . Very nice meeting you . ”
As Gun-Ho’s father sat on the floor, Young-Eun came down from the sofa and sat on the floor to greet him .
“Please sit comfortably . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
“So, you are a medical doctor, huh?”
“Yes, I am . ”
Gun-Ho’s father smiled, and he looked definitely satisfied by the fact that Young-Eun was a medical doctor . Gun-Ho’s sister came out from the kitchen and introduced herself to Young-Eun .
“Hi, I’m Gun-Ho’s older sister . ”
Young-Eun quickly stood up from the floor .
“Hi . ”
Gun-Ho’s sister smiled and said, “I’ve introduced several girls to Gun-Ho, and he rejected every single one of them . Now I understand why he did that . Haha . ”
Gun-Ho’s sister brought a floor table in the living room . They usually used that table on a special occasion like Thanksgiving Day . She then placed some fruits and tea .
Jeong-Ah came back from school . Gun-Ho’s mother hugged Jeong-Ah and told her, “Jeong-Ah, meet your future aunt . ”
“My aunt? Hello, I’m Jeong-Ah . ”
Young-Eun smiled and said, “Hi, Jeong-Ah . You are so cute . ”
Gun-Ho’s father asked Young-Eun, “Are both of your parents still alive?”
“My father is . My mother passed away . ”
“Is your father living in Seoul?”
“Yes, he is in Sillim Town . ”
“He must be retired, isn’t he?”
“Yes . He used to teach in an elementary school . Now, he stays home after his retirement . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother said, “Don’t ask her too many questions . That’s rude . ”
And then she went to the kitchen . After a moment, Gun-Ho’s mother and sister started bringing food to the table .
“You must be hungry . It’s after lunchtime already . ”
When Young-Eun stood up and tried to help them to set the table, Gun-Ho’s mother stopped her .
“Please don’t . You are our guest today . Please have a seat and stay put . ”
Gun-Ho set the table with food . Gun-Ho’s sister brought a spicy fish stew which was the main menu for today’s late lunch .
“Haha . Please try the fish stew . It’s a special dish you can have in Incheon City . ”
Gun-Ho helped his sister place the fish stew on the table, and then he said, “I will ask my chauffeur to join us . ”
His mother asked him, “Your chauffeur came with you? From the company? Ask him to come up . I’ve prepared tons of food today . ”
Gun-Ho made a call to Chan-Ho Eom .
“Chan-Ho? Come to unit no . xxx . Let’s have lunch together . ”
When Chan-Ho came, Gun-Ho introduced him to his parents .
“These are my father and mother . ”
“Hello . It’s nice to finally meet you . ”
Gun-Ho’s mother grabbed Chan-Ho’s hand and said, “You are my little son now . Please come in and have a seat . ”
Gun-Ho’s family, Young-Eun, and Chan-Ho sat at the table on the floor .
“I’m so happy that we’re all eating together today . We are now a big family . ”
Young-Eun responded to Gun-Ho’s father with a smile and said, “That’s right . It’s going to be one of the best meals . ”
Chan-Ho seemed to like Gun-Ho’s mother’s food . He finished two bowls of rice in no time .
