He didn't forget to bring a gift for him . He bought a box of ginseng drinks made by Korean Ginseng Corporation .
"Sir, I really thank you for coming to my wedding the other day . I know you are a busy person, and you made your time for me . "
"Of course I had to . It was not just anyone's wedding, but it was your wedding, President Goo . Congratulations again on your wedding . Your bride seemed to be a very fine person . "
"I also want to thank Master Park who came with you . "
"He happened to be in the area when I talked to him about your wedding . When he learned about your wedding, he insisted that he had to be there . "
"I will visit him in the near future to show my gratitude . "
"A lot of people showed up at your wedding to congratulate you . I guess you are so popular . "
"Haha . I don't know about that . "
"Did you already done Shinhaeng?"
"Shinhaeng?"
"Yes, you know, a newlywed is supposed to visit the groom's parents and the bride's parents after their honeymoon trip . "
Gun-Ho thought, 'Oops . ' He hadn't done it yet, but he couldn't tell him that because he was afraid that Chairman Lee might think of him as a disrespectful person who just ignored the tradition and their parents .
"Ye… Yes, I did . "
"I hope you have a happily-ever-after life with your wife and future children . "
"Thank… Thank you, sir . "
Gun-Ho gave a deep bow to Chairman Lee before walking out of his office .

When Gun-Ho entered the elevator, someone said hi to him .
"Hello, sir . "
Gun-Ho looked at the man . He was the dandy manager from BM Entertainment .
"Oh, hi, Mr . Manager . "
"What brought you to this building today?"
"The owner of this building—Chairman Lee—is someone very close to me . I visit him here sometimes . "
"Oh, I see . I came here to see a friend of mine . He has a business in this building . Did you have a chance to meet Seol-Bing by any chance?"
The name of Seol-Bing pricked Gun-Ho's conscience .
"As a matter of fact, I did . I once invited her over to the art gallery in the basement in my building in Sinsa Town during its grand opening . That was the last time I saw her . "
"Seol-Bing just came back from Japan after photo shooting . I can find out where she is right now for you . "
"Oh, no, no . That wouldn't be necessary . Well, I'd better get going . "
When the elevator arrived at the ground level and then when they walked toward the front entrance, they ran across a group of young people who looked like celebrities . When they saw BM Entertainment's manager, they looked surprised, and then they gave a deep bow to him .
"Sir, how are you?"
Gun-Ho thought, 'I guess that this dandy guy has some power in the entertainment field . Hmm . '
Gun-Ho got in his Bentley that was parked in the building parking lot . When he was on the way out toward the gate, he saw the BM Entertainment's manager walking into the parking lot . Gun-Ho rolled down the rear window of his car . He craned out of the window and said, "Why don't you visit me at my office in GH Building when you have a chance? I have something that I'd like to ask you about . "

"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?"
