Chemistry

< 20. Battery War (7) >

7 p.m., Jongno Street.

Jungwoo stopped in front of the ‘Seungam Art Hall’ which looked particularly plumped even in the tall building forest.

It's quite a vibe, isn't it? ’

The building exhibits massive contemporary paintings as if the entire wall had become a canvas. I've heard it was made by hundreds of current artists, although I don't care when I saw the article.

It was impressive to forget that you might experience the 'Chamberlain's Drama' for a little while.

Jungwoo, who was walking to the entrance, opened his mouth to the sight of hundreds of millions of cars who had never seen before.

“It's the same people in Seoul, right? ”

Upper class birthday parties at museums. I felt like a traveler who came to see what was happening in a different world. I wanted to take a picture, but I only polished my clothes to make it look so empty.

“When are you coming back? ”

It's been a long time since Seo Mi-hee took Song Bo-young away to take care of her clothes and make-up. Meanwhile, Jungwoo also stopped by the house and put on the cleanest suit possible.

Jiaying.

I don't think he's good enough. I put my cell phone to my ear immediately on Song Young-young's phone.

- Jungwoo.

“Yes, sir. Where are you? I'm at the entrance to the Dongguan Arthall · ·”

- Uh, I see it.

The call went down immediately. Even when I looked around, I waited for Jung to look confused because they were all strangers.

Sweet.

“Here.”

After turning her head to Song Young-young's voice, I saw her sitting in the passenger seat of a polite sedan, completely different from the rowdy sports car of Seo Mi-hee who came in the morning. Jung, who identified the man in the driver's seat, widened his eyes.

“Chief Chauffeur? ”

“Oh, Jungwoo. It's been a long time."

As soon as the setback left the driver's seat, the valet parking attendant immediately climbed into the sedan and moved to the parking lot. He approached and immediately greeted Cha Jin-seong.

“Good morning.”

“How are you? Director Jang often hears about the action award. She always complains about you not being there every time she visits. ”

“Do you think there's a constant exchange of fragrance centers and basic materials? ”

“Of course. It's been a lot harder since Chabriz's success. We've been working on a few more projects because I think we've seen this collaboration go a long way. ”

After a long time, Song Bo-young in heels walked carefully next to Jungwoo, discussing the research on KG Life Health. Saw her standing next to Jungwoo, and her eyes sparkled.

“Bo-young. It's been a long time since I've seen my relatives. I'll go up and say hello first. Jungwoo is going to enjoy himself. ”

I turned my gaze to the side of Cho Jin-seong, who was walking into the museum waving his hands. Song Bo-young, who was standing still in a pink dress with her body curled up, was in some way unfamiliar.

“You've been cremated. ”

“Mi-hee did this. Is that weird?"

Song Bo-young, who scratched the tip of her nose for no reason, replied with pure admiration.

“It looks good on you. ”

If I didn't decorate it, I couldn't take my eyes off it easily when I added femininity to my face during the time I would be mistaken as a student. Today's Bo-young senior was so beautiful that she felt awkward that she might have to revise the beauty ranking of KG chemistry at a weekly meeting.

Song Bo-young suddenly opened her eyes with a slight smile on her mouth, taking a compliment.

“What? I can't help but stare at what you want. ”

“No way. I thought if my X.O. came every day, they would be up to no good. We might be able to recruit members of the Korean SDI team. ”

“I spent hours drying and decorating. I can't do this every day. ”

Song Bo-young frowned slightly as if she was sick of time at the beauty shop.

“If it's difficult to prepare, let me emphasize that you're usually good at it. ”

“Usual?”

“Laughing Energy Center. Make your team smile with puffy eyes. He has his own view in the field · ·"

“Hey!"

Eventually, it ended with ridicule, but today, Song Bo-young's face, who was nervous, was gradually relieved because Jungwoo's mood was soft. She hesitated, said Najk.

“Thank you so much for coming like this. ”

“I don't think it's time for an audit yet. I don't know what's gonna happen. I blamed myself for being blinded by the meat, so I could blame you. ”

“Chi. Mi-hee is exaggerating a lot. Just be quiet and no one will touch you like that, so Jungwoo can enjoy the meat that the top chef at the hotel grills. That's all I owe you. ”

“What kind of calculation makes one person so unilaterally lose money? You didn't do math, did you? ”

“There's nothing wrong with this woman. ”

It was when I walked into the door while talking.

A man walking past the lobby with a thin woman, finds Song Bo-young, and stops.

“Bo-young?”

Even though he was wearing a very expensive suit, the man looked at Jungwoo and spoke to Bo-young.

“He has a thick face. They're all here. ”

“Brother, who is she? ”

When the woman next to him asked, the man replied as if it was not a big deal.

“Cousin who left home. Oh, he ran away? ”

“What's the matter? ”

“Whatever. If he crawled back in, he'd be a fool. Bo-young, it's hard living in the world, right? The symbol for sharing your legacy somehow is very hypothetical. ”

Song Bo-young's shoulders flutter with the murmur of the man. She doesn't say much about her reaction just to silently observe the man walking to the second floor.

‘That cousin doesn't look like much of a gentleman. Chief Cha Jin-seong seemed to really care about Bo-young. ’

Jungwoo looked at Song Bo-young, who was biting her lower lip. While thinking about it for a while, I decided to do what I did when Susu was angry. That's what I'm here for.

“Bo-young. ”

Song Bo-young's head turned to Jungwoo.

“Does he look like a breakfast drama? ”

“What?"

“That's what it looks like. Typically a mean rich guy who picks out his opponent's nasty words. I'm a little disappointed because it's so obvious. Shouldn't the reality be more subtle than the drama? ”

What could be more comforting than "insulting him so much" in a situation like this?

“Well, what the hell. Anyway, Mi-hee threw it all away. ”

Fortunately, Song Bo-young smiled.

“Just my cousin. As you can see · · ·"

“Asshole?”

“Well, sort of. Let's not do this here. Let's get up there, too. ”

Song Bo-young told me the behind-the-scenes story of the Chairman's family to see if she was feeling better as she headed to the second floor.

Chairman Shyla has a total of five siblings, and she nodded her head to the fact that she is the son of his second father, who just led a part module company called KG ENSIS.

“· · Household adults are responsible for their own affiliates and have delegated operations. In the case of the KG chemistry president, you're my third father. ”

The story of the succession of the two and three years of the reigning reigning supreme was quite exciting and quickly passed by the long corridor on the second floor where precious artwork was hanging.

“Jinsung's father is number four. He's the head of WM Holdings, the largest investment in KG health. ”

Jungwoo arrived at a large area where the banquet was taking place and glanced inside.

I could see the old people gathering and talking beyond the restless staff with a plate full of champagne glasses.

Then, I could see Song Bo-young standing at the entrance, muttering something from the group of younger people.

“It's a party like this, but I hope you enjoy it. ”

I nodded my head as soon as I heard Song Bo-young's voice. A man in his fifties with a frightfully neat suit came through the entrance of the banquet hall.

“Lady.”

“Deacon? ”

A middle-aged man with a polite appearance bowed slightly to Song Young-young.

“The chairman is looking for you. ”

“Already?”

As soon as Song Bo-young arrived, she was embarrassed to see the butler who came without any time to breathe. I thought it was time to accept my grandfather's wrath.

Song Bo-young pointed to the above one by one.

“I'll be up in a minute. Mr. Jungwoo · · ·"

“Don't worry. I could have handled that bitter man by myself. ”

After expressing his apology to Jungwoo for smiling boldly, he went to the stairs to the VIP room next to the entrance.

‘Young lady, that's what Bo-young is called here. ’

I felt the weight of the family.

Someone walks in front of Jungwoo, dumbfounded, with a glass of champagne.

“Who's here with Bo-young? ”

A man who looked like he was in his late twenties stood in front of Jungwoo.

“Who are you?”

“There's nothing to know. Are you playing today? ”

Jungwoo tilted his head.

“Sun? I'm a colleague at work. ”

“At work, KG chemistry? You brought a researcher with you? That's not funny.”

Another man interrupts while the opposing Pokémon laughs.

“Hyunsu, who is it? ”

“I'm a colleague. I work. ”

“Did you just bring anyone here? ”

The two men left Jungwoo in front of them and talked as if there was no such thing.

Jung quickly engraved the story he had heard earlier because he had a feeling that Song Bo-young's evil cousin family. A relative of a similar nightclub and two hardened idiots.

‘Cha Hyun-su, did you say it was a margin ticket? ’

Jungwoo silently looked at the man who was presumed to be the margin. Then the opponent stares at Jungwoo with a ferocious expression.

“What are you looking at? ”

“I was wondering if it was you. ”

“This guy? How do you know me? ”

He seemed furious just knowing the name.

Perhaps it was because I had just met a lot of people who were growling with much more intimidating weapons during a secret ISTC advisory activity, and I felt like I was watching my sister stumble adorably.

“What are you calling my name? ”

Jung glanced at the finger of the dash that was extending to him, looking around and covering his mouth with his hands and laying his voice low.

“Pardon me. I asked you this sensitive question because I think I need to speak plainly. ”

At that moment, I asked Cha Jin-tae, who had become a confused eye, with a face that I thought was wrong.

“Aren't you happy with your marriage? ”

“What nonsense. ”

“The Platinum Ring. ”

The user stares at the ring worn on the ring with its molecular field of view.

“There's a lot of dirt on the outside, and it's semi-resistant on the inside. I took a lot of care, and then I got stuck. Then it's obvious.”

“That's funny. ”

“Funny thing is, I think you should hear all about it. My nose is very sensitive. The smell of perfume on your lapels and hands is the same as the woman looking at Mr. Chachon over there. She's probably your wife. Strange, isn't it? The other perfume on my cheeks is the same one used by a woman who looks like a model on the other side. Who's the wife? ”

“Do you · · ·”

The blank dash didn't answer right away, and I ran away. Jungwoo continued to say what he had originally wanted to say in that gap.

“If you keep talking about Bo-young in front of me and you keep provoking me, you may want to ask these two women directly. ”

The unknown threat must be dealt with with with a card that cannot be beaten, thanks to the vicious kidnapper rotting in a prison somewhere in Europe.

“What the hell are you? ”

“Mr. Jungwoo! ”

Before Jungwoo even gave his name, there was an opponent who approached him calling out to him.

Standing where the heads of the three men returned at the same time, she was a white beauty with a very tall nose on her red hair.

“Oh, Michelle? ”

“I didn't expect to see Mr. Lim Woo here. ”

The appearance of foreigners who delivered fluent Korean language opened the eyes of two idiots.

“Oh, Audrey Perfume Representative? ”

“How do you know him? ”

Michelle's gaze is on two fools. Cha Hyun-Soo quickly approached her.

“Jules, I'm Cha Hyun-soo, Head of New Product Development at KG Electronics. ”

Michelle narrows her eyes and looks at Cha Hyun-soo.

“So?”

“Jules, our team has an internal opinion on adding Audrey's signature fragrance to the health care appliances under development ·”

“That's rude. Ask for formalities, not parties." ”

“I heard you refused the formal procedure. ”

“Rejection? KG Electronics · · · · · · · · · · ·. Oh, that fake proposal? The plan to disregard the intrinsic value of its scent and insert a liquid spray button into a machine that is merely a drape. I'm not interested at all. ”

Cha Hyun-soo hesitates as Michelle turns away with a dagger.

Michelle turns to Jungwoo.

“Are these Mr. Lim Woo's acquaintances? ”

“No.”

Jungwoo later replied in French, "These are creatures that I don't need to worry about very much." Michelle nods, pointing to the inside table.

“If I'm not in your way, can I talk to you for a second? ”

“Anytime, except for the scouts. ”

Michelle smiles lightly and walks away first. Cha Hyun-su and Cha Jin-pyo saw the opponent, Lim Woo, who had been asked to politely go with Audrey, who was rumored to be a knife-like CEO, and couldn't put a word in his mouth.

Jungwoo passed by his cousin, two idiots standing in front of him, and arrived at a table for the noble guests with food placed separately.

“Have a seat there. ”

Michelle opens her mouth as soon as she has the authority to take her place across the street.

“Mr. Jungwoo. The sales of fragrances made from a combination of natural spices exceed expectations. ”

“Really? That's great. ”

“We plan to expand our sales network to the European market with this fragrance composition. · · · · · Restoring and adding extinct black tulips from the Dutch province. ”

As soon as I sat down, I spent time appropriately advising myself on the flavoring stories that began.

“Phew.”

Song Young-young, who walked out of the VIP room after closing the door, approached the butler.

“How was it?”

“It's the same. I heard you yelling because you said no. ”

“Even if you speak harshly, you usually worry a lot about the lady. ”

Even Chamberlain, who comforted Song Bo-young calmly, began to walk forward as if protecting her.

“Deacon, too. ”

The butler turned his head to Song Bo-young's call.

“You've been through a lot with your grandfather for a long time. Can you give me one piece of advice on that? ”

“If that's what you think, I'd be happy to advise you. ”

“Is there something to be done from birth, and is life happy for those with a certain future? Even if you have a lot. ”

Song Bo-young apologized for thinking it was a question she couldn't answer easily. Just before opening the door downstairs, Deacon turned his head.

“Director Cha Do-joon ran famous because of the plane accident, and soon even Mrs. Song Marie died in a car accident. The young lady is standing up for all of it. You're strong enough already. Whatever happens, we can sublimate it to happiness. ”

Song Bo-young bowed her head in gratitude to the unexpected power.

“I knew it. I only thought of you after I left the house. ”

“You're not having a hard time doing laundry, are you? ”

“Heh, something like that. But I'm pretty much alive now. ”

“I'd like to see that too. Come back anytime. The gates for the lady are always open. ”

Song Bo-young muttered as she walked downstairs, where Jungwoo would be waiting.

“First, I want to find my happiness. ”

More than 30 minutes have passed since my conversation with Michelle.

I was looking at the artwork hanging on the wall with a glass of champagne in my hand because I was a little used to the atmosphere of the uncomfortable lavish party.

I did not know the artistic value at all, but I looked back at the painting of an unknown author who seemed to have a good name, and Jung recalled Cha Hyun-su's words that I heard earlier.

You were looking at the line here? ’

It was also misunderstood that he appeared as a partner in such a position. So more than half the passers-by are watching their backs.

“Just Woo. I heard a funny sound from Hyunsu. ”

One of them approached Jungwoo's side. It was the first scene I saw while entering the museum.

Did you say your name was Cha Hyun-cheol? ’

I heard you are a senior executive of a telecom company called KG M +.

“You're Cha Hyun-chul, right? ”

“Are you her boyfriend? ”

“A close colleague, I'd say. ”

“Colleague KG chemistry? A general staff member sneaks into the room to tell me where it is. What do you know about this painting? ”

I even expected some fresh flute to calm me down, but the sound from Cha Hyun-chul was a cliché repertoire.

Jungwoo pointed to the picture in front of his eyes.

“Do you know Director Cha Hyun-chul well? ”

“Better than you. It's a 500-million-dollar painting. ”

“Wow, 500 million. ”

“Pure White Woman is considered a masterpiece among the works of Cho Hyun-ho Hwa. Joe Hwabaek painted her as pure and innocent. Instead, I painted a fur on the face of a ferocious animal underneath her feet, giving her an inherent passion. ”

He shrugged his shoulders as if he had taught me a lesson, then looked at Cha Hyun-chul turning his eyes around like he was looking at a luxury item near the painting, and asked Jung.

“Is he dead? ”

“It's been over a decade. But how did you know that? ”

“Oh, I'm just chemically good at painting. ”

Jungwoo looked at the white paint of the woman's clothes with molecular vision.

“That pale white paint has lead in it. If you worked closely with that buried hand, you'd be in danger of lead poisoning. ”

“Lead? It's not the 19th century, and you use that kind of hazardous substance in paint? ”

“I don't know what the White White White Man's intentions are. Did he want to express his old style? ”

“Nonsense. ”

Cha Hyun-chul said that Jungwoo is lead, but he took a step back from the picture.

“Lead turns black lead sulfide when it reacts with sulfur. You see the black discoloration and the damage on the pale white edges? So where does the sulfur come from? The pigments in linseed oil mixed with cadmium yellow have sulfide in them. That innocent woman's purse. Closet, mostly painted pigments. ”

Cha Hyun-cheol was two or three steps away when he revealed clear evidence.

“Of course, even though the painting is old enough to harm the human body, it's gone. ”

Jungwoo said, "This is 500 million? ’After admiring it, Cha Hyun-chul's face turned red and blue.

“Since this bastard wants to see me, I want to play a prank. ”

Jungwoo looked around Cha Hyun-chul's mouth with molecular vision and stopped.

“Huh? What's that smell? ”

“What are you up to? ”

“THC? Huh. ”

Jungwoo found the molecular structure of tetrahydrocannabinol causing hallucinations and asked in a lower voice.

“Do you usually smoke weed? ”

It was very short on Cha Hyun-cheol's face, but I felt embarrassed.

“If you're going to keep talking nonsense, I'll call security with Bo-young or not. ”

“There's a really simple way to tell if it's bullshit or not. ”

Jungwoo handed the passing employee a glass of champagne and received two new glasses.

“The methyl perfural compound in the champagne is very juicy when it comes to the ingredients of marijuana. I would never drink it if I smoked it. ”

Cha Hyun-chul laughed at the sound of Jungwoo. That champagne has been drinking Susan for an hour.

“What do you think? Would you like to try it in front of me? ”

“You, when I finish that, I'll be expelled. ”

“I should. I shouldn't have doubted anyone. ”

Jungwoo stared at the sweet-flavored diploid molecular structure in the champagne glass in his right hand. Thump your finger on that thing that's trembling. The structure was modified to the opposite shape as it was copied to the mirror at the time of the shovel.

“Here you go. Cool shot. ”

Cha Hyun-cheol, who received the champagne, met the cup with a nasty smile. Chang looked at Cha Hyun-chul, holding a sip of the cup in his mouth, following the sound of the glass smashing.

Phew!

As soon as I put it in my mouth, Cha Hyun-cheol, who spit it on the floor, looked at the cup with surprised eyes.

“What's wrong with this? ”

“That's a lot, isn't it? The result says," It's not even a country that's lawful for weed, but it's lawful. "”

“Isn't there something in here? ”

Seeing him suspicious, Jung gives out his cup.

“If you don't believe me, try mine. It tastes good. ”

“Give it to me. And you drink it. ”

Immediately before exchanging, Jung touched the cup with his fingertips. And the cup from Cha Hyun-cheol restored the sweetness molecule to its original state.

“Cheers.”

He smashed the glass, and Jung swallowed the champagne.

“Yummy. ”

Cha Hyun-chul glanced at the champagne that was far beyond the taste level for people to drink, and then put the glass in his mouth.

Phew!

“Ugh, disgust me. ”

Cha Hyun-cheol spits out liquid in his mouth and becomes nauseous. Song Bo-young walked next to Jungwoo looking at him pitifully.

“What are you doing?"

Cha Hyun-chul sneezed and reached out to the passing employee and shouted for water. Jungwoo, who had done some retribution to Cha Hyun-chul, who had tortured Song Bo-young a lot, said.

“Oh, Bo-young's cousin, my brother, isn't very good at keeping the law. ”

Song Bo-young had to look at Cha Hyun-chul, who was disappearing with a painful face. She talks to Jungwoo and flinches as another cousin, Cha Hyunsoo, approaches. However, Cha Hyun-su bowed her head with an eyelash instead of sneering at her.

Song Bo-young said, "What is it? The atmosphere here? ’, Cha Hyun-su stood in front of Jungwoo.

“Mr. Jungwoo. You seem to be very close to Michelle's representative · · · She's a member of our affiliate family. Can you ask Michelle to reconsider my project? I'll make it worth your while. ”

“If that's what you want. It's not easy to go back once Jules says" Wontory. "Not unless you fold it up and do something else. ”

“LIMITED Woo SEC · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I'm sorry."

With Cha Hyun-soo desperately looking back, Jung-woo turned his eyes to Bo-young Song.

“How did it go with Grandpa? ”

“Somewhat. Shall we? ”

“You haven't eaten. ”

“Mi-hee's steak is much better. Go there. I have something to say on the way. ”

When I went up, I saw a serious look on my face, and then I came down, and I became engrossed in the thought of preparing Song Bo-young's face that seemed to be somewhat refined.

Streetlight gently shines on the streets of Jongno at night.

Jungwoo, who was walking down the road from the entrance of the Seungam Art Hall, asked Song Bo-young.

“Why did you leave the house and take the chemist's path? ”

“Doesn't everyone have a secret in their heart that they can't tell? ”

“You can't say that out loud. I understand.”

Song Bo-young said, 'I think I can talk to Jungwoo about everything.' Five minutes later, I felt awkward walking without a word.

Song Bo-young, who was constantly looking at Jungwoo's side, resolved to call him.

“Hey, Jungwoo · · · · · · · ·. ”

“That's right."

However, Song Bo-young had to feel breathless in Jungwoo's words one step ahead.

“I have someone I want to go out with, but I really can't talk about it. I'm worried that if I reveal this secret, I'll hate myself, and I'm sorry I didn't do it. I've got a lot on my mind. ”

“Such · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Look at me. You sound so serious all of a sudden. ”

When Song Bo-young was suddenly informed that she liked someone else, she turned white and couldn't add anything to her mind.

Bam-bam-

After hearing the horn as she walked down the street, Fluffy's head turned.

“Mi-hee?”

“I called you earlier. I thought you were coming with me anyway. Rest well and I'll see you Monday, sir. ”

“Mr. Jungwoo. ”

“I drank too much champagne, and it's making me sick. I don't think it's much more active. Oh, I'll take a cab back myself. ”

The sports car stopped right in front of me.

“Oh, you were right. That banquet hall meat was amazing. Rather, the party is unilateral damage. ”

Jungwoo, who raised his thumb, opened the passenger seat of the sports car.

Song Bo-young got into the car without saying anything. Seo Mi-hee opened her eyes wide as she watched Jungwoo closing the door without riding.

“What is it, Jungwoo? ”

“Let's go.”

“Aren't you coming? ”

“Let's go.”

Seo Mi-hee, who had a hunch that something had happened to her friend, not smiling or crying, left the car.

Song Bo-young glanced at Jung, who looked like a side mirror, and then closed her eyes.

That's what I just said.

Before the difference, I heard the strong feeling of caring for him by saying it out loud. It is not necessary to listen in words to convey the truth. In fact, there are some things that I feel only with my heart.

“Why is it so warm? ”

All the comforts that Jungwoo sent today were warm, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to relieve this pain now.

- Whatever happens, we can sublimate it to happiness.

I honestly don't feel confident this time.

Jungwoo sighed briefly as he watched the sports car drifting away.

The meaningful jokes of first-class students, the meaningful words of Seo Mi Hee. I've been trying to ignore this subtle part of the jungle, knowing that the mind belongs to me and that I won't change what I say next to it.

Earlier, however, we almost hurt each other a lot more. Once I understood the mind of Song Bo-young who was long-minded, there wasn't much I could do for her.

“I just want it to be less sad, you know. ”
