Chapter 468: 468
Gun-Ho looked at the table where Chan-Ho Eum was sitting at . Chan-Ho was not there anymore . Maybe he went back to the car after having dinner . Attorney Young-Jin Kim brought his car, and he didn't have a chauffeur, so he didn't drink any; he just kept filling up Gun-Ho's glass with liquor when it became empty . A congressman and a minister who were sitting at the same table with Gun-Ho did the same .

"Mr . Minister, let me fill up your glass with liquor . "
"Thank you . I just need a bit . "
"Mr . Congressman, I will fill up your glass with liquor . "
"Just a little bit for me as well . Thank you . I'm currently taking some medicines, and I'm not supposed to drink . "
While Gun-Ho was filling up a glass with liquor, he inadvertently tapped a man who was sitting next to him .
"Oh, I'm so sorry . "
"It's fine . Umm… Are you, by any chance, from Asan City?"
The man with a sturdy build asked .
"I don't live in Asan City, but I have a business there . "
"Oh, I remember now . You have a joint venture business with a foreign company, right?"
"That's right . Do I know you? I think I saw you somewhere . "
The man gave his business card to Gun-Ho and so did Gun-Ho .
"Oh, you are Mr . Chief of Police of Asan City . "
He was the Asan City's chief of police who came to Dyeon Korea's building dedication ceremony .
That chief of police person looked at Gun-Ho's business card closely and said, "I'm so glad to see you . I feel like I'm meeting someone from my hometown . "
The man offered his hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake .
The minister and the congressman, who were sitting at the same table with Gun-Ho, stood up to leave .
"I guess we'd better leave now too . "

Attorney Young-Jin Kim said as he stood up . Gun-Ho stood up from his seat as well and said bye to the chief of the police .
"I'm taking off now . It was very nice meeting you . "
"Oh, you are leaving?"
The chief of police extended his hand to Gun-Ho again for a handshake .
"I hope I see you around in Asan City . "
It was Friday .
Gun-Ho felt happy knowing that Young-Eun would be home today . He went to work feeling pleasant . When he arrived at his office, the secretary—Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh—brought a cup of coffee along with two daily newspapers and one economic newspaper .
When Gun-Ho was reading the newspapers, Director Kang entered his office .
"The tenant on the 17th floor decided to vacate the office . "
"Oh, really? When are they moving out?"
"They are leaving on the 15th of this month . They actually had moved in on the 15th, and I guess that's how they came up with the date—15th—as their moving-out day . "
"We need to let GH Media's President Shin know about the date then . "
"Okay . I will do that, sir . "
"The office is 60 pyung large, right?"
"Yes, it is . I wonder if President Shin would be able to handle the monthly rent . "
"How much do we charge for that unit per month?"
"Its monthly rent is 3 . 5 million won with 50 million won of security deposit . I was told that she is currently paying 1 . 5 million won monthly for their office in Hapjeong Town . That concerns me a bit . "

"Well, we can ask President Shin to make more money . "
After Director Kang left the office, Gun-Ho continued to read the newspaper until his phone started ringing . It was from Dyeon Korea's Director Kim .
'Director Kim? Why is he calling me?'
"Sir, I'm in Egnopak right now . "
"Oh, you are?"
"I'm calling to let you know that Egnopak's president wants to see you privately . "
"Is something wrong?"
"I don't know . He wants to talk to you in person . "
"Okay . I can't go see him today since I'm in Seoul right now, but I will stop by his office tomorrow morning . "
"Okay, sir . I will tell him . "
Gun-Ho thought it was weird .
'Why does that sneaky old man want to see me?'
Gun-Ho got off work early that day . He wanted to cook for dinner before Young-Eun came home .
On the way home, Gun-Ho stopped by a side dish store to pick up some dishes and also some ingredients for his own dishes . When he came home, he cooked rice and seaweed soup . He also steamed bamboo shoot and prepared red chili-pepper paste with vinegar which would go great with bamboo shoot . When he was frying eggs and tofu to add more side dishes, Young-Eun came home . Young-Eun seemed to stop by a supermarket on the way home as well . She was carrying bags filled with food ingredients and also trash bags .
"Huh? Oppa, are you cooking?"
"Yeah, I thought you would be tired today, so I cooked for us . "
Young-Eun went into the kitchen and started checking how Gun-Ho was doing . She first opened the rice cooker .
"You cooked the rice too?! But this is too much for us . If you put too much rice, it will be scorched . "

"We don't have to cook rice every time we eat, right? We cook a lot today and save some for tomorrow . That way, we don't have to wash the pot every day either . "
"You are using too much oil for tofu . "
"Young-Eun, go and wash your hands and sit on the sofa . I will call you when dinner is ready . "
"Okay . I will clean the dishes after dinner . "
Gun-Ho and Young-Eun sat at the dining table facing each other . The rice was fresh and shiny .
"Try the seaweed soup . "
"Hmm . "
"How is it?"
"Haha . Well, it does taste like seaweed soup . "
"Try the fried tofu . Oh, shoot, I forgot the soy sauce . Hold on . "
Gun-Ho brought the soy sauce and dipped a piece of tofu into it before putting it into Young-Eun's mouth . Young-Eun took it without any complaint .
"How do you like it? It's tasty, isn't it?"
"I think you can cook dinner for us from now on . I can retire from that duty . "
"Well, it's a one-time occasion . "
"Why is that so? I think you have a talent for cooking . "
"These are all I know . You don't want to eat the same dishes every dinner, right?"
After dinner, Gun-Ho and Young-Eun sat on the sofa in the living room . They watched news on the TV while having apples . Gun-Ho felt cozy being with Young-Eun at home . The same condo didn't feel empty or lonely anymore .
While watching TV, Gun-Ho gave a massage to Young-Eun by rubbing her calf .
"You must feel your legs are tired since you are standing while you work all day long . "
Gun-Ho diligently rubbed Young-Eun's calf, and Young-Eun continued to watch the TV while receiving a massage from Gun-Ho . She looked relaxed .
Gun-Ho and Young-Eun changed into their pajamas and laid down on the bed .
Gun-Ho kissed Young-Eun on the cheek and tried to undress her when she said, "No . Not today . "
"Why not?"
"Today is that day . "
"What day? Oh, the day that comes every month?"
"Yeah . "
"Why does it have to be today?"
"Let's just talk for a while, and then you go to your room to sleep . "
"I have nothing to talk about . I don't feel like doing anything else . "
Young-Eun laughed and pulled Gun-Ho's nose .
Gun-Ho said, "That's why many men in the old days had a concubine . "
"You want to have a concubine, too, oppa?"
"Yes!"
"If you do, you wouldn't be able to see me again . I will pack my stuff right away . "
"Men and women have different needs biologically . I think we will have to figure out what we would do about it . "
