Chapter 69: Stupid Bear

Tap tap tap tap tap-

“…….”

A quiet room.

Choi Jintae was sitting in his seat, looking at his work.

Tap tap tap tap tap-

“…….”

There were several documents piled up on his desk.

It’s a world where digital documents are increasing, saying it’s a digital world, but it was difficult to replace everything with such things.

Tap tap tap tap tap-

“…….”

The work of a broadcasting station director is very much.

He mainly makes the final approval of the program and is in charge of the overall flow of the broadcasting station.

And as the highest position, he has to solve various troublesome problems on behalf of the broadcasting station.

For example, the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) strictly picks a fight.

For example, an employee of a broadcasting station shows emotional instability like a puppy that can’t poop.

Tap tap tap tap tap-

At the continuing sound, he raised the blood vessels in his head and shouted.

“Hey, you! You barged in here and why are you so restless?! Please stay still!”

The person who poured out his annoyance was Lee Seongbeom.

Even though Choi Jintae’s face and even his scalp turned red with anger, he didn’t tease him by saying he looked like a ‘boiled octopus’, so you can guess that it was a fairly serious situation.

“If you have a problem, talk about it, or think quietly. Don’t you see I’m working?!”

“Ah, I’m sorry. You’re so petty.”

“Petty…. Sigh, whatever. So what’s the reason you’re making such a fuss? You came here because I’m the only person you can talk to, right?”

“Well… that’s true….”

Lee Seongbeom is a smart and strong person.

Therefore, he usually solved most of the problems he faced alone or somehow found a way.

Nevertheless, if he needed counseling, he would talk to Song Jakga or Choi Jintae and solve the problem.

Lee Seongbeom, who was sitting in his seat and thinking deeply, sighed deeply and started talking.

“I think I’m going to get married.”

“You’re bullshitting again. You’ve taken the budget three times after starting with that kind of story and shocking me. I won’t be fooled anymore.”

“No, I’m serious.”

What kind of image does this person have of me?

Lee Seongbeom felt a sense of skepticism in his human relationship.

“That…, Song Jakga proposed to me yesterday….”

“Proposed? Not even asking to date?”

“Yeah, she called me to a place where there were no people and said she wanted to get married…. Huh? Wait. Aren’t you surprised? Your younger brother got proposed to?”

Choi Jintae’s reaction was somehow lukewarm.

Could it be that he still thinks it’s a joke?

Thinking that, Choi Jintae snorted at Lee Seongbeom.

“You. You insensitive bear-like bastard. You blind monk-like idiot who treats women like stones.”

“Ah, why are you suddenly cursing?”

“Wouldn’t I say that? You stupid bastard.”

“Ah, c. What is it?”

“Why did Song Jakga quit KBZ, where she was working well, and follow you?”

“Because the directing style matches mine….”

“Then why would a variety show writer edit with you?”

“Because she wants to make the scenes she wants…?”

“Then, why does she always take care of you and go to you to have a cup of coffee even if it’s not her own program?”

“That….”

“Wouldn’t I curse at this? You stupid bear-like bastard.”

Choi Jintae looked at him with a pathetic expression.

Even if a third party saw it, Song Jakga was clearly showing favor to Lee Seongbeom.

It was not from the respect she felt for her boss, but from the feelings of the opposite s*x.

Choi Jintae, who didn’t see their relationship often, knows it.

Probably, people in the broadcasting station who often see them would almost all know.

“So, Song Jakga proposed to you. What do you think?”

“Well, I…. Song Jakga is a person I cherish and she’s a good person…. Honestly, it’s a little awkward that she feels affection for an old bachelor like me, but I’m just grateful.”

“Then you can do it. Marriage.”

“It’s not that easy.”

Marriage is not a connection between a person and a person, but between a family and a family.

It is questionable whether her family will accept Lee Seongbeom, who has no family, and even if they accept him, there was a bigger problem.

“…What about Sua if I get married? Right now, because I live alone, we can barely live together in my studio.”

“Well…, that’s something to think about.”

If he gets married, he will naturally find a house and live together.

Then Sua’s position becomes ambiguous.

“I can’t think of a way to explain Sua to Song Jakga’s family….”

If he says that she is Lee Seongbeom’s daughter, he can give her the modifier of marrying a man with a child, and even if he adopts Sua after marriage, his father-in-law will surely not say good things.

“Do you have any good ideas?”

“The best way to deal with family matters is to be honest.”

“No, but….”

Seeing Lee Seongbeom, who was unusually hesitant and lacking confidence, he sighed deeply and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

And he found a person in the phone book and immediately called.

“…Hyung?”

“I can’t stand it because I’m frustrated. Wait.”

After a few rings, the call was connected and he said to the other person.

“Hey, Song Jakga. If you have time, come to my office and take this stupid bear-like bastard away.”

“So, you postponed my proposal because of that worry?”

Song , who arrived at the office, smiled and heard the story that Lee Seongbeom had consulted with Choi Jintae.

She sat next to Lee Seongbeom with her lips curled up, which she couldn’t hide.

“I’m really glad it wasn’t a rejection. I didn’t know you’d already thought about the aftermath.”

“…It can’t be helped. She’s a child I took in, so I have to take responsibility. But I can’t force that responsibility on Song Jakga.”

“Hmm, is that so.”

His words were reasonable.

It was true that he took Sua with him and lived with her like a daughter.

He didn’t want to pass that responsibility on to someone else.

But Song raised her lips as if she was a little sulky.

“I know a lot about PD Lee, but PD Lee doesn’t know me well?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, it’s okay. We can get to know each other better from now on.”

She smiled brightly.

“Did you think I proposed to PD Lee without thinking about Sua?”

“Huh?”

“Sua is already PD Lee’s family. Marriage is a combination of families. And families are responsible for each other. Surely PD Lee doesn’t want to take responsibility for my parents, so you don’t want to get married?”

“Ah, no. That’s not it. If we get married, they will be new parents….”

“It’s the same. If my parents become PD Lee’s parents, PD Lee’s daughter becomes my daughter.”

She said it as if it were natural, but Lee Seongbeom’s worries did not end.

As she said, this was a combination of families.

“As Song Jakga said, it’s a combination of families. What will Song Jakga’s parents think? It’s strange to introduce Sua as my daughter, but if I tell them the truth, I think they’ll hate it more.”

“Well, it’s true that my parents are a little old-fashioned. But that’s okay.”

“It’s okay?”

“I’ve already settled it with my parents.”

Song has a definite personality in everything.

Therefore, when she proceeds with something, her creed was to get a definite answer from the other person and remove the obstacles.

This case was the same.

There was a little quarrel, but with the declaration, ‘Then I’ll live single for the rest of my life,’ her parents eventually raised the white flag.

“So all PD Lee has to do is say okay.”

“Oh…. Song Jakga, you’re bold?”

“That’s why I confessed to PD Lee.”

“Hey, both of you be quiet.”

Lee Seongbeom covered his face because he felt embarrassed when he heard the story.

Then he quickly turned his head and brought out something that could be a problem next.

“Okay, then, let’s say that’s the case. What about Sua? Shouldn’t we listen to Sua’s opinion?”

This issue is not only a matter for Lee Seongbeom and Song, but Sua’s opinion is also important.

Even though our problems have been solved, a new family will suddenly increase.

When he said that, she smiled brightly.

“That’s okay.”

“Why?”

“I told her about my friend’s story last time, and she was positive? Of course, she seemed to know that it was my story. She’s a smart child, so she must have known that it was about her and said that.”

“Hmm…, if that’s the case….”

It was a state where all the definite answers were obtained.

It was a state where only Lee Seongbeom’s answer was needed.

Choi Jintae, who was listening to all of that, said mockingly.

“You’re going to be scolded a lot by your wife in the future. Look at how thorough she is.”

“…….”

He opened his mouth with a devastated laugh.

“That’s what I’m saying.”
