CHAPTER 846

He knew very well that out of sight, out of mind.

Especially when the other party was the top idol of South Korea, his beloved sister could get hurt in the process of dating.

Nadoha, who received Yoo-hyun’s worried gaze, waved his hand.

“Don’t worry. We’re seeing each other a lot.”

“What do you mean? You’re always working.”

“I’m not working, I told you.”

Sure.

It was obvious that he was beating around the bush, afraid of Yoo-hyun’s concern.

“Then what are you doing that you don’t go home?”

“Actually…”

“Actually what?”

“Never mind. You’ll find out tomorrow.”

“What are you talking about?”

Yoo-hyun was dumbfounded by Nadoha, who couldn’t bring himself to say it.

That day, Nadoha left work early, saying he had an appointment.

Yoo-hyun wanted to have a drink with him and share some honest stories, but he let him go since he seemed tired.

He also told him to go home for sure.

What did he say?

He was going to another place, not the house where his grandmother lived?

He wondered when he got his own place, but he didn’t ask any more.

‘He must have found a place to rest for a while after working all night.’

He thought it was a big improvement for someone who used to sleep at the office every day.

And the next day came.

Yoo-hyun, who was sitting in the River CEO’s office, picked up his phone.

Messages were pouring into the With messenger family group chat.

-Sister: Watch the Ellen Show later. Jang-woo is the guest. It’s live-streamed on the internet, so log in here and watch it. (link)

-Mother: Doesn’t this cost money if I click it?

-Sister: Mom, just watch it. I’ll pay you.

-Mother: No, no. Of course I’ll watch it. Thank you for letting me know, Jaehui. (heart)

If it was the mother of the past?

She would have tackled Jaehui right away, but now she was very caring.

She had changed since her mother’s birthday.

‘The power of gifts is great.’

Yoo-hyun chuckled and connected his laptop to the large TV on the wall of the CEO’s office.

The recording was over long ago, but it was the first time it was broadcast.

It was morning in Korea, as it matched the US broadcast time.

Why did he have to go to the internet link to watch the broadcast?

He put that thought aside for a moment, and the Ellen Show mark blinked on the black screen waiting for the broadcast.

Below that, the name of the sole guest, Lee Jang-woo, flowed.

Yoo-hyun felt a new sense of wonder.

“He was such a timid guy…”

He did a ramen commercial, starred in a movie, and now he even entered a talk show.

And he was the sole guest of the most famous talk show in the world, the Ellen Show.

What was he going to talk about?

Yoo-hyun put his curiosity aside and shared the broadcast link with Jeong Da-hye, who took a vacation today.

She, who had become close to him while briefly interpreting for Lee Jang-woo, must be looking forward to it too.

Sure enough. She sent a message saying she would watch it with her mother.

As soon as Yoo-hyun checked the content, he put down his phone.

Bang.

The door opened and Yoon Bomi came in.

“CEO! Did you see the news?”

“What news?”

Before he could answer Yoon Bomi’s question, Jang Manbok rushed in.

“CEO! It’s amazing, amazing!”

“Again, why…”

“CEO!”

This time, Won Gijun stuck his face in.

Was there a war or something?

They were not the ones to make a fuss over minor issues.

“Come on, calm down, and sit down.”

Yoo-hyun, who maintained his composure as a leader, gestured with his hand, and Yoon Bomi, who sat on the sofa, pushed her phone forward.

“It’s not something to calm down about. Look at this, this.”

“What the…huh?”

Yoo-hyun felt like he was hit on the back of his head with a hammer.

It was because of the official dating confirmation article that appeared on the screen.

Was this what he meant by finding out tomorrow?

He didn’t even read the whole article before Jang Manbok exclaimed.

“Wow! Director Na is amazing. How did he woo the aegyo master Yoo Sooyeon?”

“Didn’t you read the article? Yoo Sooyeon liked Director Na first.”

Yoon Bomi, who was hitting Jang Manbok, asked Won Gijun.

“But why did they admit it?”

“The day before yesterday, Dispatch caught them on a night date. They said they met almost every night.”

Every night?

“No wonder. Director Na looked tired for no reason.”

“Hehe! Youth is good, good.”

“…”

Jang Manbok laughed loudly, but Yoo-hyun couldn’t say anything in shock.

‘He was working all night…’

He thought he didn’t go home because of work and worried about him, but it turned out to be a date.

It was a good thing, but why did he feel a bit betrayed?

Yoon Bomi asked Yoo-hyun, who had a stiff expression.

“CEO, you didn’t know either?”

“Yeah, well.”

“Oh? You look nervous. Are you jealous?”

“Maybe because the other person is an aegyo master.”

Won Gijun nodded, and Jang Manbok raised his voice.

“Hey! CEO Jeong is not lacking anything. CEO, that’s not it. A man should be loyal like a dandelion.”

“Stop being so impulsive.”

Yoo-hyun calmed down the excited Jang Manbok.

Yoon Bomi pointed to the TV in surprise.

“Huh? Jang-woo is on TV?”

“Oh! He’s the sole guest on the Ellen Show. CEO, are you a fan of Jang-woo too?”

Yoon Bomi raised her hand at Won Gijun’s words.

“You two are from the same gym, right? Lee Jang-woo respects you so much, Director.”

“Wow! The undefeated fighter with seven wins in UFC. The senior of Lee Jang-woo, who is about to become the world champion! Director, you are amazing.”

“Yes. But I’m going to stay here…”

Yoo-hyun’s words were cut off by the entrance of Gong Hyunjun and Lee Jihyun.

Bang.

“Director, did you hear the news about the director?”

“…”

What a mess, what a mess.

Yoo-hyun shook his head.

The news about Nadoha was temporarily submerged by the appearance of Lee Jang-woo.

Lee Jang-woo was one of the most famous sports stars in Korea, but there was not much information about him.

Was that why?

From his debut at Number One Gym to his current position as a UFC contender.

Everyone was hooked by the colorful stories that Lee Jang-woo told.

“Wow… Lee Jang-woo, you must have had a hard time.”

“Amazing. How did he endure the weight loss?”

“Martin Ortega was such a jerk.”

“Hahaha! The gym story is the funniest.”

Yoo-hyun listened to the reactions of the directors sitting across from him and recalled the moments he had with Lee Jang-woo.

‘I didn’t know any better when we first fought.’

Was it when he had just returned from Ulsan?

He didn’t know that Lee Jang-woo was a rising star and challenged him.

Lee Jang-woo, who experienced his first fierce defeat, called Yoo-hyun his senior and treated him especially harshly.

Looking back, he had a deep connection with him.

He encouraged his nervous junior for a long time on the phone before his pro debut, sparred with him for the domestic championship, and even coached him.

That was when Back Smashing came out.

After that, he also introduced him to Super Punch when he was having trouble with his agency in New York, or trained with him, and did not spare his support.

Lee Jang-woo was a precious junior and brother who always wanted to take care of Yoo-hyun.

And he mentioned Yoo-hyun in Korean on the broadcast.

-I want to express my special thanks to my senior, Han Yoo-hyun. Without him, I wouldn’t be here today. Senior, I really respect and love you.

Kid.

What did I do for you.

“Wow… Director…”

Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders at the surprised reactions of the five directors.

His heart was ticklish and he felt very proud.

The talk show was nearing its end.

In a friendly atmosphere, the host asked.

-Lee Jang-woo, do you have someone you love?

-Of course. I love all the fans who cherish and support me.

-Haha! How about one special person?

-Um… yes. Someone I want to be with now and always.

The talk show audience gasped at Lee Jang-woo’s answer.

The people in the Riverhead office also showed a strong reaction.

“Wow! Lee Jang-woo is so cool.”

“I wonder who it is. I’m so jealous.”

“Isn’t she a beautiful model?”

“I think I heard she was a Miss Korea.”

A photo taken with a cell phone camera at the airport had been published in the newspaper, but Han Jaehui’s name had not been revealed yet.

Behind that was Lee Jang-woo’s effort to protect Han Jaehui.

“Ahem.”

In this situation, Yoo-hyun couldn’t say that the other person was Han Jaehui.

‘He’s not going to reveal it here.’

It would be too much pressure to say her name in front of the whole world.

That was not Lee Jang-woo’s style either.

He thought he would do that, but…

-I want to say something to the woman I love on this occasion.

“Ooh!”

‘Why is he doing that?’

Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes and looked at Lee Jang-woo, who stood up from his seat.

-Pak.

The studio darkened and a spotlight shone on Lee Jang-woo.

A romantic jazz band played, and Lee Jang-woo held the bouquet he had prepared.

His face, which was close-up, looked very nervous.

Gulp.

In the tense atmosphere that made Yoo-hyun swallow his saliva, Lee Jang-woo opened his mouth.

-I love you, Han Jaehui.

“Huh? Han Jaehui?”

“That’s the same name as the director’s sister.”

“It must be a coincidence.”

As Lee Jihyun’s words fell, Lee Jang-woo looked at one side of the audience and knelt down with a bouquet.

No way…

Suddenly, Yoo-hyun’s mind flashed with Han Jaehui’s message.

-Watch Ellen’s show later. Lee Jang-woo is a guest.

Come to think of it, it was strange that she told him to watch it early in the morning according to the American broadcast time.

It was the first time that Han Jaehui sent a link to the family chat room and told them to watch the broadcast.

‘And Da-hye is watching too…’

His bad feeling was not wrong.

The woman who caught Lee Jang-woo’s eye was walking onto the studio stage.

The moment her face was captured on the screen.

“Oh my! It’s Han Jaehui from Double Y!”

“Wow!”

“Director, did you know?”

Lee Jang-woo, who couldn’t hear the noise here, looked up at Han Jaehui and confessed.

His sincere feelings were felt from the trembling bouquet.

-Will you marry me?

Han Jaehui nodded her head with emotion and took the flowers.

He kissed her after putting a ring on her finger.

-Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fireworks that he had prepared exploded, and Ellen, the most famous host in the world, applauded.

-Clap clap clap clap clap!

The studio audience also stood up and clapped their hands.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime proposal.

“…”

Yoo-hyun lost his words in shock, and his cell phone rang incessantly.
