Kang Chan went up to Kang Dae-Kyung’s room and found him leaning against the propped-up bed. Yoo Hye-Sook was beside him.
Kang Chan dragged a chair and sat next to Kang Dae-Kyung’s bed.
“Go home and get some rest,” Kang Dae-Kyung told Kang Chan.
“I’m okay. I should see mom when I can.”
Kang Dae-Kyung smiled awkwardly. It seemed like how Kang Chan had acted yesterday and how he was acting right now were overlapping in front of Kang Dae-Kyung.
How scared could Kang Dae-Kyung have been of the knife fight that unfolded before his very eyes? He was just a person that had a normal upbringing and family. His child participating in that battle only made it worse.
Kang Chan carefully thought of a way to relieve Kang Dae-Kyung’s shock. Rather than trying to relieve his shock, Kang Chan would have more confidence teaching Kang Dae-Kyung how to fight spitefully.
They soon got bored despite the TV trying its best to attract their attention. Kang Chan couldn’t figure out what had to be done right now.
“I’m hungry. Should we order something to eat?” Kang Chan asked his parents.
“Do you want to?”
The couple didn’t eat snacks often, so they didn’t show special interest when they answered him.
Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—.
Kang Chan’s phone rang, which he took as an opportunity for him to divert their attention. It was Michelle.
“Ello!” Kang Chan answered in French.
- Channy, are you in a predicament?
Michelle replied in French as well. Her tactfulness was amazing.
“I’m at the hospital. My father’s been hospitalized.”
- Why? Is he okay?
Her reaction was understandable. She didn’t know that Kang Dae-Kyung got in a car accident yesterday, after all.
- If you’re okay with it, can I go there?
“Where are you?”
- I’m at D.I. Which hospital is it?
The memory of her being on the verge of tears yesterday came across his mind. He also remembered his promise to have a beer with her today.
“Wait a minute.”
Kang Chan put down his phone and told his parents that Michelle was going to come here to see Kang Dae-Kyung. They appeared to have found the idea awkward, but they didn’t look like they disliked the news.
Kang Chan told Michelle the name of the hospital, then hung up.
“We can treat her to lunch when she comes,” Yoo Hye-Sook commented.
Kang Dae-Kyung didn’t know why Yoo Hye-Sook suggested that. After Kang Chan briefly told him that the daughter of Yoo Hye-Sook’s friend got to participate in a drama

Buzz— Buzz—Buzz—.
Seok Kang-Ho was the one calling Kang Chan this time.
“Yes, Mr. Seok Kang-Ho.”
- Are you with your parents?
This fucker was still loud even after reincarnating into a different body. Kang Chan lowered the volume of his phone so that his parents wouldn’t notice that Seok Kang-Ho was speaking formally to him.
“I’m at the hospital because my father isn’t feeling that good.”
Kang Dae-Kyung discreetly observed Yoo Hye-Sook’s mood.
- I heard that he was discharged yesterday. Is he feeling very unwell?
“I was told that he has severe body aches. He’s going to be discharged after a few days.”
- Is there anything we can do? If you were going to go to the hospital, you should’ve told me to bring the car in the morning!
Don’t go overboard and just hang up the phone!
“Okay. I’ll give you a call later.”
Kang Chan swiftly ended the uncomfortable phone call.
“My goodness! Your teacher really cares a lot about you. We should at least meet him someday,” said Yoo Hye-Sook.
“We can do that some other time,” Kang Chan replied.
If possible, they shouldn’t meet Seok Kang-Ho. Kim Hyung-Jung and Kim Tae-Jin also called Kang Chan in order. He gave them similar answers, and everyone seemed to have tactfully understood what was going on. Lanok called him as well.
“Yes, Mr. Ambassador.”
- Mr. Kang Chan. Are you busy today?
“I’m at the hospital. My father has been hospitalized due to overwork.”
- I didn’t know. I’m sorry.
“Don’t be. Are you calling for an urgent matter?”
- No, I’m not. I’ll call you later.
Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook looked curious about who Kang Chan had talked to.
“That was the ambassador. He asked if I had time today, so I told him that I’m at the hospital. He then said he’ll just call me some other time,” Kang Chan told his parents.
“If you said that because of me, then you should’ve just made the appointment,” Kang Dae-Kyung said. He felt bad.
Rattle.
“Hello!”
What’s going on?
Even Kang Chan was flustered that they came here.
Yoo Hye-Sook quickly got up from her seat, and Kang Dae-Kyung forced himself up a bit more and leaned against the bed.
“We’re here because we heard that the President’s father is unwell. I’m Eun So-Yeon. We met at the ‘Chiffre’ presentation hall. And these are all D.I. actors.”
“Nice to meet you! Father, please recover quickly!” They cheerfully greeted Kang Chan’s parents as if they were chorusing. Yoo Hye-Sook and Kang Dae-Kyung seemed to have recognized Eun So-Yeon.
“Thank you for coming. Please have a seat. What should we do? There aren’t enough chairs!” Yoo Hye-Sook exclaimed.
“It’s okay. We have to go to the broadcasting station today to practice the script anyway. And here
” Eun So-Yeon handed over flowers, and behind her, the trainees held out boxes of drinks and a fruit basket[1].
“You guys shouldn’t have. Please have a cup of tea or eat these fruits with us at least before you go,” Yoo Hye-Sook offered.
“We got to film a drama thanks to the President, who’s been protecting us. And all of us here are a part of it. We’re not big yet, but even if we’ve become huge stars, we still won’t forget his kindness. That’s why we’ve made a decision,” Eun So-Yeon spoke politely. She then looked behind her.
“From now on, we’ll make an appearance on all advertisements for ‘Chiffre’ and all advertisements that the President’s father does in his business for free until we die!” the trainees yelled.
They had shouted their determination like elementary school students reading a book. Their voices filled the room.
“We still have a practice scheduled, so we’ll go now. Father, please get well soon,” Eun So-Yeon continued.
“Please get well soon!” The rest of the trainees yelled.
Eun So-Yeon bowed her head toward Kang Chan while looking disappointed, then left the patient room with the trainees.
It felt like a huge storm had just swept past the room.
“Was that young lady also affiliated with the company that you’re in?” Kang Dae-Kyung asked Kang Chan.
“Yes. I forgot she was at the ‘Chiffre’ presentation hall.”
Kang Dae-Kyung was flustered, and Yoo Hye-Sook was slightly blushing.
“My goodness! It was really nice to see them. They had such bright expressions,” Yoo Hye-Sook commented.
Kang Chan just smiled. They definitely came here because Michelle told them to. Sure enough, Michelle arrived with flowers, a fruit basket, and a cake box not long after they left. She forcibly opened the door with the hand that was carrying the flowers.
“Welcome,” Kang Chan said.
“Hello, mother?” Michelle was speaking in Korean, though she cleverly used a French accent. Even if he put her in the drama, her acting skills wouldn’t lose to the current actors. Michelle hugged Yoo Hye-Sook and kissed her cheeks, ten greeted Kang Chan in the same way.
Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook looked at Michelle with an expression that seemed to say she should definitely be here.
“Please sit. I actually felt bad for asking something unreasonable last time,” said Yoo Hye-Sook.
Michelle looked at Kang Chan, so he asked her in French, “You’re the one that sent Eun So-Yeon and the trainees here, right?”
“It wasn’t unreasonable, mother,” Michelle replied to Yoo Hye-Sook in Korean.
“Your Korean has improved a lot,” Yoo Hye-Sook commented.

“It’s all thanks to Mr. Kang Chan.”
What a load of bullshit. Was she also acting when she was on the verge of tears yesterday?
Anyway, the atmosphere had completely changed. Michelle even brought disposable plates and plastic forks. The cakes were all in different flavors, all of which were delicious. She went above and beyond, almost as if she was their child, and Kang Chan was the one who came here to visit Kang Dae-Kyung.
Kang Dae-Kyung and Yoo Hye-Sook got absorbed in their conversation with Michelle. Kang Chan felt like bugs were crawling on his back when Michelle told them about him stopping Alion from exploiting Eun So-Yeon.
Yoo Hye-Sook became completely absorbed in the story about a scary person visiting them in the office and Kang Chan arriving and protecting the actors and employees so that they wouldn’t get scared.
Writing scripts were better for Michelle than acting. Kang Chan wondered how she could tell the story in such an interesting way despite taking out all the violence from it, including him breaking their arms. Later on, he remembered that she was originally an editor for a magazine company.
Kang Dae-Kyung looked like he could roughly guess how Kang Chan acted at that time.
