Chapter 16
Translator: True Detective
Chapter 16: Fallen Chaebol 3rd Generation Baek Ha-rin (4)
"So let's summarize."
Kicked out of the house because they hated seeing you play and eat for 24 years.
If you don't succeed, you're expelled from the Baek family.
So now you have nowhere to go, is that it?
"Yeah."
"Noona, still, sudden marriage is..."
Even though I rose suddenly enough to buy a house like this.
Getting proposed to suddenly is still too much.
"It's a joke, right?"
It must be a joke.
As I tested the waters, Noona avoided my gaze and said hesitantly.
"H, honestly, aren't I an S-class listing? Young, pretty face, big breasts."
"...."
"Plus a v, v, vir, virgin on top of that..."
"Wait wait wait."
I cut off Ha-rin Noona's words immediately as she was about to go brain-dead.
Because I felt like an accident might happen if she went further here.
"Noona, honestly the mission grandfather gave isn't difficult."
It's difficult for commoners like me.
For someone like Ha-rin Senior, succeeding is an easy task.
Right now if she says 'Hands up who wants to make connections with a Baek family member!', everyone will line up.
Next, if she says 'I'm the granddaughter of Baekseong Group Chairman, who wants to invest in me?', they will offer their liver and gall bladder.
Even saying idol or internet broadcasting entertainment acts are OK.
If she does cam broadcasting with that face, she'd earn 10 million a month.
"...Can I speak honestly?"
"Try it."
Ha-rin Noona lay down on the floor spread-eagle and shouted.
"I don't want to work!"
And the words that followed.
It was doubtful whether she was truly the same person as the Noona who acted maturely until just a moment ago.
"I want to play and eat for the rest of my life, I want to live as a rich unemployed person! I want to scratch my belly and watch TV!"
Noona rolling around on the floor and ranting.
"Why do I have to labor! I'm a chaebol 3rd generation!"
Honestly, it broke the illusion a bit.
Noona raised her upper body from the floor and said.
"So that's why, will you marry me?"
"...Why on earth does the talk go there."
"Because I think I can live comfortably if I marry you."
"...."
"If you just give me a little pocket money, I'm confident I can support you better than anyone. Plus, you don't even have to worry about your wife cheating with another man, since I've lived as a 'forever solo' for a whopping 24 years."
It is a bit fascinating that this Noona has never dated.
Noona continued speaking.
"You can't meet a woman like me anywhere?"
Certainly.
No matter how much money I have, I am an ex-convict in the end.
It's hard to meet someone who understands everything about me and has perfect looks anywhere.
But there is one more person like that besides Ha-rin Noona.
"Noona."
"Hm?"
"There is someone I'm meeting."
Showing the picture of Yoon-seo I took, her already shocked face becomes even more absurd.
"Wow, this girl is using cheats. This is her bare face?"
"Yup."
"No, what does a kid like this like about you to meet you?"
"Somehow..."
Meeting for 2 and a half years, even a clueless bastard can't not know.
Yoon-seo likes me.
Not as a friend, but romantically.
And I like her too.
When Yoon-seo's illness is fully cured, I intended to confess to her.
"I didn't know Seo Do-hyun would date before me."
But there is a problem.
"...She's not my girlfriend though."
"Eh?"
Intending to confess means we haven't gone there yet.
A complex and subtle relationship more than friends but less than lovers.
That was our relationship now.
"You said there's someone you're meeting."
"No well, isn't 'some' (flirting stage) meeting too..."
"Ey no. How is that meeting."
Noona shook her head side to side.
"I got surprised for nothing thinking you had a girlfriend."
"Still, I plan to date her so well."
"But is it really a 'some'? Aren't you drinking kimchi soup alone? (Counting chickens before they hatch)"
"We're a relationship that says 'I miss you' on the phone?"
"Even a woman managing a fishery (stringing along guys) says things like that."
There is only me as a man meeting Yoon-seo, so how can that be.
"I think this woman is quite suspicious. With this face, to you?"
No, what's wrong with me.
Even as empty words I can't say I'm handsome, but still, don't I hit average?
I'm tall too, and my physique is good because I suffered a bit since old times.
Although I lost some lately due to only gaming.
"Still, the class is different. If we rate by grade, you are A. This woman is SSS."
At least she rates me as A.
"Think carefully. Whether you got caught in a fishery. Didn't she approach you looking at money from the start?"
"I've known her for a long time, and met her since I had no money."
"When was that?"
"About 2 years and a half?"
"Since you earned money?"
...Has it been a week?
"Did you win the lottery or something? Does lottery give 14.5 billion these days?"
Haven't bought one so I wouldn't know, Noona muttered adding.
She asks back.
"I'm really curious, can't you tell me the secret?"
"I'll tell you later."
Ha-rin Noona clicked her tongue as if regretful.
"Anyway well, seems like it's not what I thought."
Trying to diss Yoon-seo scratched me a bit, but I endured since she said it out of worry for me.
"So there is a spot for me to squeeze in."
"Yes?"
Isn't there?
"Do-hyun-ah, put your hand on your chest and think."
Noona pulled my hand to her chest.
Not my chest but Noona's chest.
"I'm F cup."
The size is really.
'Is this a human or a cow.'
It's rude to evaluate a woman's appearance.
But when scoring the looks of Yoon-seo and Ha-rin Noona, Ha-rin Noona was superior even just because of the body and chest.
"Although expelled, I'm still a chaebol, and confident to look only at you."
"...."
"And a virgin."
Overusing TMI.
"I hate alcohol so I don't go to drinking parties either. And also..."
"Noona. No matter what, sudden marriage isn't right."
"Why, you dislike me?"
Not that I dislike her.
"...Sorry."
Even if Noona is the one I met first, Yoon-seo is the one I saw longer.
And considering the tearful and faint story between us, it was hard to accept this proposal.
A sorrowful romance with a terminally ill girl.
Vs
(Former) Chaebol 3rd generation kicked out of the house because she hates working.
Anyone would raise the hand of the former.
'Is the example a bit harsh?'
Recalled Noona's appearance earlier.
A sorrowful romance with a terminally ill girl.
Vs
Chaebol 3rd generation who supported from behind when it was hardest.
This compares a bit.
Still, even though it was under the influence of alcohol, I'm in a relationship where I did such and such things with Yoon-seo.
If I go to Ha-rin Noona after this, that's something beyond trash.
Even my dead father, the synonym of trash, would shake his head looking at me.
As I showed an intention of polite refusal, Ha-rin Noona speaks as if pulling a trick.
"If you really feel that way, there is a method."
"What."
"Take her as the legal wife and take me as a concubine."
What kind of crazy sound is this again.
"What kind of crazy sound is this again."
Thought and mouth spat out the same sentence simultaneously.
Is this a sentence that can truly come out in 21st century Korea?
"Right now, I'm also a concubine's granddaughter?"
Surprisingly, there was already a precedent.
Noona said her father was a son born between the Chairman and another woman, not his wife.
That the reason he fell a bit in succession rank was also because of that.
"Originally people with lots of money have multiple wives and such."
"Doing that in Korea is illegal."
"Where is the law in front of money? Originally people with lots of money stand above the law."
Noona suddenly brings her body close.
Burdensome chest pressed against my body.
"If you like that kid named Yoon-seo, live happily with her, and just enjoy with me giving a little pocket money occasionally. Okay?"
Looking up with a shy face, shaking hands tak tak.
That gesture with that face is foul play.
I barely held back my third leg trying to stand up.
"Enjoy my ass..."
I knew this person was eccentric, but didn't know it was this severe.
I asked.
"No, but do you hate working that much?"
"Yeah."
"Even so, isn't it wrong to date someone you don't even like?"
Noona pushed her pressed chest further and said.
"When did I say I dislike you?"
Yoon-seo can like me.
Actually, I still don't know what point of me she fell for.
But sticking together for about 1000 days, affection can develop, right?
But Ha-rin Noona felt romantic attraction to me?
No matter how much I think, I don't understand.
Let's think about the past again.
The things I did to Noona are as follows.
Staring with crooked eyes from the first meeting.
Throwing away human dignity and acting like a clown.
Eyes turning over seeing money and making low-grade acrostic poems with older teachers' names.
Cursing at her when she kindly came for prison visitation.
Not even noticing she was helping from behind and telling her to get out of the house.
'Hmm.'
What is it?
Don't know.
I absolutely cannot read this woman's mind.
Maybe bad guys are her taste?
But the image of a bad guy and the image of a clown conflict too much for that.
Then is it because I have lots of money?
For that, she herself has lots of money in the first place.
Of course, she is in a position kicked out of the house, but just being able to contact her parents means she is still a chaebol.
I can't even contact mine now.
Then my face?
Honestly, I'm not on the handsome side.
Not that I'm ugly, but it's not at the level where Ha-rin Noona, who is on par with male idols on TV, would appeal herself this enthusiastically.
"Anyway, think about it slowly."
"...."
"If it ends badly with her, you can come to me. Or date both simultaneously. Don't know what she would think though, ahahah."
For now, Ha-rin Noona decided to stay at my house for the time being.
Since she has nowhere to go, and I'm not so heartless as to make a benefactor sleep outside.
Familiar ceiling, but unfamiliar bed because all furniture was changed.
Lying down feels completely unfamiliar.
Ha-rin, who rolled around covered in the blanket for a long time, suddenly stopped moving.
And looked at the floor.
"...Do-hyun is on the floor below this, right."
No matter how immature and unemployed chaebol Baek Ha-rin is, she's not blinded by marriage just because a junior she met after a long time earns some money.
The reason she acts abnormally as soon as they reunite.
There was a reason she absolutely must not miss Seo Do-hyun.
6 years ago.
