Chapter 164 (1/2)

Choi Jeonghyun closed the door of the clinic and walked to the place where the group was waiting. If his memories were correct, that woman was the doctor in charge of his deceased mother. Why was she here? He didn’t know the reason but strangely, it was nice to see her again. He didn’t know how to explain but it felt like he was sharing the memories of his deceased mother.

‘She is still beautiful...’

His thoughts didn’t last long.

“What’s going on now? Did you have a chat?” Park Muyeol suddenly asked with a dull expression.

He had thought it since he was a child but he really couldn’t adapt to his uncle’s face. Well, the face wasn’t everything. The group of people was looking inside the building like it was a novelty.

“What? He just came out with a lowered head.”

Still, his uncle wasn’t so scary. Choi Jeonghyun’s father was the really scary one when he was angry. The other family members might not know it but he knew his father’s true self. The youngest child, Seohyeon, had a stalker who chased her when she was in high school. Choi Jeonghyun happened to come across him on the street. He saw his father break the stalker’s leg. He was so scared that he couldn’t sleep for two weeks after that day. He still got the creeps when he thought of that scene.

Park Muyeol spoke, “Tsk tsk. Is she that good?”

“Huh? What does that...”

“The female doctor.”

“Eh? Uncle, you already know her?” Choi Jeonghyun asked with a surprised expression.

“I know. Chuntaek and Seonyeong praised her so much, I thought my ears would scab over every time I went to the hospital.

Seonyeong was the name of his deceased mother. Uncle Muyeol was like a brother to his orphaned father. One day, they were sitting in a coffee store together when his mother passed by. His father fell in love at first sight. He didn’t know the details but Uncle Muyeol was very close to his mother.

“Hmm. At that time, your mother really wanted to pair the two of you up. I can still remember that day.”

“Pair us up? What do you mean?”

“You didn’t know? I thought you knew.”

Choi Jeonghyun was confused by the sudden words. A pair. His mother had been considering pairing them up since that time? Of course, he was divorced at that time so he was technically single. It was ridiculous.

“Based on what I heard, she has been divorced from her husband for quite some time. Hum.”

Choi Jeonghyun exclaimed, “Ah... Huh? Really?”

“Yes, it must’ve been quite a while. I don’t know if she is remarried now.”

“Ahh... Ouch. No.” Choi Jeonghyun hurriedly shook his head. It didn’t seem to work. She was a doctor while he was a gambling addict. Was this fair? No, wait a minute.

“It was no wonder why Father said at that time....”

Park Muyeol smiled like he heard Choi Jeonghyun’s mutters. “Yes, that is what Chuntaek said. Kuhahaha! He is a really funny guy! Hahaha!”

Park Muyeol was laughing loudly when the group of people looking around came to this place. Seongchan asked like he had been listening, “Ohh~ Uncle Jeonghyun is getting married~?”

It was a playful expression. Choi Jeonghyun could instantly tell that this person was making fun of him. “Dude, are you making fun of your uncle?”

“Nope~? I saw your mouth twitching just now. You seem to like her?”

“W-What?”

Choi Jeonghyun became embarrassed and touched his face with one hand. Then laughs burst out from behind him.

“Puhaha. Look at that. Seeing his shyness, it seems he really likes her?”

Jekyll and Baroque nodded at Muksabal’s words.

“Fighting.”

“Baroque... cheering for you.”

The bald brothers placed hands on his shoulders.

“Huhu. If you want to seduce that woman, tell me any time.”

“We’ll shave your hair.”

Choi Jeonghyun had thought it before but these two bald brothers seemed crazy.

“I-I will think about it. Haha...”

He wasn’t able to refuse. It seemed like he really might be shaved.

“Shut up, these guys. Don’t make a normal guy bald.”

After hearing Park Muyeol’s words, the bald brothers stepped back with a cough. Phew. Fortunately, it seemed like his head wouldn’t be shaved.

“In any case, Jeonghyun, do well.” Park Muyeol hit him on the back. He did it lightly but it hurt.

“Uncle, no matter what, she and I...”

Suddenly, the door of the clinic opened. Was the treatment already over? The woman whose name he didn’t know came out. There was blood on her hands.

Park Muyeol approached her. “Is the treatment finished?”

“Yes, fortunately. Didn’t we meet at the hospital once?”

“Yes, I remember. It is nice to see you, I’m Park Muyeol.”

“Hello, I’m Kim Sujeong. Ah, I can’t shake your hand because of the blood. Haha.”

The two people bowed slightly. Her name was Kim Sujeong. It was at this moment...

“Eh?” Someone exclaimed from behind them.

Suddenly, Choi Jeonghyun was pushed in front of the woman called Kim Sujeong. He looked back and saw everyone in the party blinking. This was a deliberate move, no matter who saw it. Damn, who did it?

“Oh my, hello. Haven’t we met?” Kim Sujeong smiled.

“Ah, hello. I-I-I’m Choi Jeonghyun.” Oh, his heart. Why was he stuttering?
