“C-Chairman Hwang, just... What do you mean by this, sir?”

Kang Jin-Ho sighed when his mother asked the exact same question for the third time.

Hwang Jeong-Hu didn't lose his patience at all, though, and gently explained the situation to Baek Hyeon-Jeong once more. "So, it's like... I had a grandson, and he..."

The gist of Hwang Jeong-Hu's explanation was like this—he used to have a long-lost grandson. He searched for this child everywhere for many years. But when he finally discovered the boy's traces, it was long after an accident had taken the latter away from this world.

While wallowing in sorrow, Hwang Jeong-Hu heard about the boy's best friend during his middle school days. Then, he discovered his grandson's diary while going through the boy's keepsakes that detailed how kind Kang Jin-Ho had been to his grandson. The diary also repeatedly mentioned that the boy wanted to repay Kang Jin-Ho’s kindness.

Seeing this reaffirmed what Hwang Jeong-Hu wanted to do, so he sought out Kang Jin-Ho to carry out the wishes of his late grandchild.

'What a heartbreaking sight this is...'

Kang Jin-Ho mused while quietly staring at Hwang Jeong-Hu desperately and pitifully explaining this backstory that not even a cheap soap opera would have used. Watching an old man lying through his teeth while sweating profusely like that was so pitiful that Kang Jin-Ho almost averted his gaze from him.

If Kang Jin-Ho had been entrusted with explaining things, he was confident of doing a better job. A far, far better job at that!

Who would be dumb enough to believe that story...
