71 Were You Even Listening?

He headed upstairs and knocked on Ha Eun's bedroom door. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Chang Wook on the bed; his back turned to him. It surprised him, even more, to see that Chang Wook was in nothing but his underwear. His pants, s.h.i.+rt, and tie were on the floor next to the bed. He then saw a slender arm dangling over Chang Wook's waist, and on the floor, he saw a bra. Mr. Oh quickly closed the door and placed his hand over his chest.

"Why is it always me?" he asked himself.

"Hey, dad. What are you doing?" Ji Seok walked towards Mr. Oh. He noticed how his father was sweating, and his face was a bit red "What's wrong, are you having a stroke?"

Mr. Oh hit Ji Seok on the back of his head "Don't be an idiot" Mr. Oh told him "Let's go downstairs. Quickly."

Ji Seok looked at the door. He was planning on visiting Ha Eun, to see how she was doing, but his father seemed very against it. He freed himself from his father's grip and ran up to Ha Eun's bedroom. Mr. Oh yelled at him to not go in, which only made him want to open the door.

Ji Seok opened it. After a few seconds, he closed the door and looked down at the floor.

"I told you not to open it" Mr. Oh told him.

Ji Seok started to laugh "These two are crazy! Doing it at a house party?!" Ji Seok said, "And dad…dad…You walked in on them again!" Ji Seok kept on laughing.

"It's not like I want to!" Mr. Oh said.

"Hey, dad. What does it feel like, walking in on your daughter?" Ji Seok asked Mr. Oh as he put his arm over his shoulder.

Mr. Oh grabbed Ji Seok's ear and pulled him downstairs "Ow, ow, ow! Your grip has gotten stronger. Ow!"

"At least she's married to him. What about you? Where's your wife?!"

Ji Seok rolled his eyes "Here we go again" he whispered. They went to the living room and sat opposite each other.

"Why don't you have a wife or at least a girlfriend? Heaven knows I've arranged many marriage dates for you, but you refuse all of them. You prefer to play around, and you don't even take your job seriously. The other families won't respect you if you don't show how serious you are towards relations.h.i.+ps. I've lost count of how many scandals I've saved you from. Have you ever wondered what will happen to you after I'm gone? You are the only male heir to OG Group. People will look at you and compare you to me…"

After a while, Ji Seok stopped listening to his father. It was always the same thing with him. Ji Seok didn't see the point of having a wife. As long as he does a good job, what does it matter if he's single or not? Ji Su doesn't have a husband, and Ha Eun was doing just fine as CEO without a husband.

"Take a look at Ha Eun, she was doing a fine job as CEO, but then, at the board meeting, her job was put in jeopardy because she didn't have a husband. After Chang Wook walked in, she exposed their relations.h.i.+p. Poor Chang Wook was shocked. I guess he wanted to keep it secret a little longer. Thank goodness they were dating. If they weren't, I don't know what would have happened." Mr. Oh chuckled remembering that day.

Ji Seok was brought back to reality when he heard his sister being mentioned. He didn't know her position was put in jeopardy.

"It's a good thing Chang Wook walked in when he did" Mr. Oh added.

Now, Ji Seok couldn't help wonder about his sister's relations.h.i.+p. Ha Eun never showed any interest in her secretary or showed any signs that she was dating someone. Her home had no signs of male life, no extra toothbrush, not even a s.h.i.+rt. He didn't want to question his sister's relations.h.i.+p; a couple that doesn't love each other wouldn't be half-naked in the same bed right now, but he couldn't help wondering.

"So?!" Mr. Oh yelled.

Ji Seok looked at his father, surprised "What?"

"Were you even listening?" Mr. Oh asked. It seemed that Mr. Oh kept on talking about something else while Ji Seok was questioning his sister's relations.h.i.+p. Ji Seok smiled at his father and shook his head. Mr. Oh sighed, "Is there anyone you at least like?"

Ji Seok looked away.

Ji Seok started to rub his chin "I wonder" he answered.

Mr. Oh took off his shoe and threw it at Ji Seok, which he dodged easily and laughed "You're losing your aim, old man."

"Why you little…" Mr. Oh took off his other shoes, but Ji Seok stood up and ran away "What am I going to do with him?"

Ji Seok walked to his room and locked the door behind him. He sat on the bed and thought back to his father's question about liking someone. The memory of trying to help Hong Joo from a robber, and then spending most of the night at a police station came back to him. She was the first girl who he spent a night with and didn't even touch her, which made him chuckle.

He laid down on the bed and wondered how she was doing. He then slapped himself on the face. He got up, rubbing his cheek "Why am I thinking about that woman? I barely know her, and she's brother-in-law's secretary. An employee at my family's company. I can't possibly like someone normal…right?"

…

Hong Joo's apartment

Hong Joo was sitting on the sofa, reading a book, and drinking tea. She suddenly sneezed "Is someone talking about me?"

She turned on the TV and on the entertainment channel they talked about her company and how the Chairman was throwing a party to celebrate Ha Eun's marriage. They showed a previous recording of Ha Eun and Chang Wook getting out of a car walking towards a house.

They then started to interview a few of the guests. It surprised her when suddenly Ji Seok appeared on the screen.

"I've never seen my sister as happy as she is when she is with my brother-in-law. We are all here to celebrate their marriage. Think of it as the party after the wedding, but without the wedding."

The reporter laughed with him and moved a strand of her hair behind her ear. Hong Joo widened her eyes. That's what a girl does when she's flirting!

"What about you, are you seeing anyone in particular?" the reporter asked.

"What the h.e.l.l? That was live! Why was she flirting with him on live television?!" Hong Joo yelled.

"Our female viewers would love to know" she said. Hong Joo scoffed.

"This reporter sure has some nerve. It was Ha Eun and Chang Wook's party, she shouldn't change the subject!"

"Well, we're all here celebrating my sister. Not me, but if you want to know. I'm still a bach.e.l.lor." Ji Seok looked at the camera with a smile.

Hong Joo couldn't help but blush at his smile. She then quickly felt embarra.s.sed for yelling and turned off the TV. She shouldn't be jealous of a reporter or of any girl that tries to get close to him. She's nothing to Ji Seok, just an employee at his family's company. Why would he ever look at a normal girl like her?

She sneezed again "Am I catching a cold?" she wondered.
