Chapter 60
His hot lips plunged into Sua’s in an instant. His touch was so vivid, warmth seeped through.
As if delving into her heart, his tongue delved deeper into her. Each time the sensitive mucosa was scraped by his soft palate, she forgot her pain and leaned on Hyun-oh to the point of collapse.
“Suck.”
With a slight pull away from Sua, Hyun-oh whispered again.
“Say it again.”
The breath from Hyun-oh’s lips tickled Sua’s as she felt how close they were.
“Say you won’t leave. Tell me. I want to make sure I didn’t hear wrong.”
“…”
“Okay?”
Gently, coaxingly, he whispered to Sua.
His voice tickled her ears again and again. His left hand, which had been on her shoulder, slowly descended to her waist, pulling her against him.
“Tell me.”
“I won’t go.”
She might regret it someday. Maybe what he was doing now was just a fleeting emotion. But Sua couldn’t leave him when Hyun-oh wanted her like this.
She wanted to be with him, no matter what.
“I won’t go. I can’t leave.”
“Good.”
He lifted one corner of his mouth slightly and smiled. Then he covered Sua again.
She hesitated, stepping back until her back touched the wall under the pressure of his kisses. Even though it felt like Hyun-oh might swallow her whole, she let her lips meet his.
“Hmm, ah.”
Their intimate kiss continued. Occasionally, when their lips parted, Sua desperately took a breath, and Hyun-oh whispered to her.
“Good, Sua.”
“Ah…”
“I like being with you like this.”
His fingers gradually moved down. He caressed the exposed skin as he lifted her shirt. Even though they weren’t kissing, Sua’s body felt itchy and hot inside.
“I like you.”
“…Hyun-oh, Um, not there…”
His fingers moved to a more sensitive area. Even though she knew she shouldn’t, Sua couldn’t help but melt under his touch. Slowly, her vision blurred as she became immersed in him.
—
The villa of Pyeong’s honorary chairman, Ji Seon-ung, of the PY Group.
Hyun-oh looked around at the mansion, too big to be called a house, and swept his hair back. The wind blew fiercely, tousling Hyun-oh’s hair.
This summer had seen many typhoons.
After Typhoon Serio, which indirectly caused Hyun-oh’s traffic accident, two more typhoons had come. The weather would be sunny one moment, then heavy rain would pour down, and the wind would blow fiercely enough to uproot trees, only to clear up again.
It was like Hyun-oh and Sua’s marital relationship.
It seemed like it would end any moment, but then the weather cleared up again.
“Oh, sir. What are you doing out there? Come on in.”
“Oh, yes. It’s been a while.”
“Indeed. Please come into the guesthouse.”
At the Pyeongchangdong villa, Hyun-oh smiled and climbed the stairs at the voice of the villa keeper, who had been working there for a long time. Already in his thirties and having risen to a position of responsibility in the company, he was still treated as a young master here.
The same was true in front of Chairman Ji Seon-ung.
“Grandfather, I’m here.”
As he entered the guesthouse where Seon-ung often spent time, Hyun-oh greeted loudly. The door opened with a thud, and a gruff voice was heard from inside.
“Your grandfather’s not deaf. You don’t have to speak so loudly.”
“I was afraid you wouldn’t hear me coming.”
“Did I ask you to come, or did I summon a ghost?”
Although he was already in his eighties, Seon-ung’s eyes and ears were sharp. Moreover, his vigor was still robust, and he never missed an important event outside even now.
“It’s good to see you’re healthy.”
“What good is it for an old man to be healthy?”
With that, Seon-ung sighed. When he gestured for Hyun-oh to sit down, he took a seat opposite him.
Seon-ung glanced at Hyun-oh’s body, sitting upright. Then his gaze stopped at the cast on his arm.
“By the way, how’s your body? I heard you were as good as dead. How did you manage to survive?”
Hyun-oh chuckled. He knew that Seon-ung’s way of worrying was to say, “How did you manage to survive?”
“Thanks to you, I’ve recovered a lot.”
“Besides the arm.”
“It’s fine. I’ve been back to work at the company since last Friday.”
“Good job.”
Still, Seon-ung couldn’t help but frown at his grandson’s accident.
“When you go down to the countryside and travel, you should be careful. What’s with the highway during a typhoon?”
“I’ll be careful.”
“Your body isn’t yours alone. Don’t you have family members attached to you? Your family and broadly speaking, the employees of PY Chemical are all your family. Should the leader get hurt to be useful? And in the future, you’ll have to manage the entire PY.”
Manage the entire PY?
At first, Hyun-oh casually listened to Seon-ung’s words, but unexpectedly, there was a surprising remark at the end of his sentence. He raised his head in response to that reaction. Even to Seon-ung’s silent smile, Hyun-oh focused intently.
Seon-ung may have seemed to casually speak, but he had never uttered a single unnecessary word. Especially when it came to the power struggle among his grandsons, he was even more careful.
Even his closest aides didn’t know where his intentions were headed.
But there was a clear intention hidden in his words now.
“What do you mean?”
“Just as I said.”
Then, Seon-ung gulped down the hot tea in front of him.
“I’ve heard that your father’s condition isn’t good. In my opinion, you’ll have to come down within a few years.”
Hae-chan, the chairman of the PY Group and also Hyun-oh’s father, was not in good health. He was not in immediate danger of death, but the position of group chairman demanded constant work. Despite being in his sixties, considered still young by today’s standards, he was easily fatigued, and this affected his work.
Hae-chan also showed signs of wanting to rest a little now.
That’s why both inside and outside the company, there were rumors that the power of the group would be inherited by Hae-chan’s eldest son, Hyun-oh, and second son, Hyon-jae, faster than other companies. Seon-ung and Hae-chan hadn’t revealed their intentions yet.
Until today.
“Reorganizing the regime and learning things in the head office. By now, shouldn’t you have decided on that?”
Even Hyun-oh, who was hardly ever tense, concentrated on Seon-ung’s words, with his left hand, which had risen to his knee, squeezing tightly.
When Hyun-oh didn’t respond, Seon-ung asked again.
“What do you think, son?”
“What does Father say?”
“Your father?”
Seon-ung paused for a moment before speaking again.
“I’ve always thought you would be good at it. It must have been difficult to say.”
Hyon-jae and Hyun-oh.
As the only two brothers, they had no choice but to grow up monitoring each other. There was only one throne in PY, and since it was impossible for the other one to have anything, the two had to grow up in opposition to each other.
Apart from the environment, when you thought about it, Hyun-oh was more suited to the position of Chairman than his brother, Hyon-jae. Even after entering the company, Hyun-oh didn’t have any scandals or scandals about his private life, unlike his brother, who often caused scandals and controversies. In addition, their management styles were different.
While Hyon-jae didn’t focus well on his work and left everything to subordinates, Hyun-oh took care of each and every detail. That small difference made a big difference, enough to push PY Chemical, which Hyun-oh currently manages, to the top of the industry.
But..
That was only when talking about one person.
Hyon-jae was a legitimate heir. Besides, he was the eldest. If Hyun-oh were to sit in the chairman’s seat, it would once again become a topic of public interest about the extramarital affair between Mrs. Cha and Chairman Hae-chan, which had already caused a stir.
That’s all.
The woman Hyon-jae was seeing these days was the daughter of a powerful presidential candidate. But Hyun-oh’s wife was Han Sua. The daughter of the chairman of the fallen Han Dong Group.
“It’s scary, isn’t it, what’s going on between my mother and people.”
Seon-ung chuckled at Hyun-oh’s words.
“Are you scared?”
