Chapter 17
When I finished speaking, I could see that Chairman Seong’s face was as stiff as a
Four Heavenly Kings statue
, even from a cloudy perspective.
Oh, you must be angry. Since I broke the established political engagement relationship made when I was young.
The atmosphere of silence and Chairman Seong’s alpha pheromone, which no longer pokes the lungs, made him feel even more frightened.
At the same time, I was choked up.
‘I’m not even the real Seong Chan-young, so why should I care about this?’
I missed my parents. I pretended to forget them because I had a long way to go back, and I pretended to adapt well, but the depression I had hidden poured out because I was sick.
“…..Don’t. Soon…”
Chairman Seong talked to me, but I couldn’t hear him well. Noticing that he told me not to do something, it seemed like he was telling me not to break the engagement.
“Please don’t be angry.”
Don’t say anything to me. I don’t even know where your real grandson went either.
“Free…… Please set me free. Please… Please.”
As I became light-headed, I even said what I usually had while looking at the gongs. I was relieved. I thought it was a good thing that I lost my mind.
‘He’s not going to hit a person who’s lost his mind.’
As soon as I took it that way, I lost my consciousness.

When I came to my senses, the white ceiling welcomed me.
“This is…”
It’s a hospital.
When I got up and looked around, I saw the sap in my hand and the patient’s uniform I was wearing. Above all, the spacious single-person patient room told me that I had been taken to the hospital.
The hospital was a familiar place for me, so I had expectations that I might have returned to the original world, but it was in vain.
“Ah, young master. Are you awake?”
With a rattling sound, someone opened the door and came in. He was an elderly doctor who seemed to be of similar age to Chairman Seong.
“Of course I am.”
There’s no way we’d use such a nice single-person VIP ward for our family.
It seems I was still in the novel in the form of Seong Chan-young.
“Who are you?”
“Well, you must have been shocked that you forgot my face, too. I’m Kim Bok-dol, Chairman Seong’s attending physician.”
‘This-’
I have made a mistake. If he’s an attending physician, he must also be acquainted with Seong Chan-young. When I bowed my head in case of doubt, an unexpected reaction came back.
“That’s all right, young master. This is the responsibility of the family, including myself, so you don’t have to worry so much.”
‘Huh?’
Contrary to expectations, the attending physician did not suspect me. On the contrary, he apologized for not paying attention to me properly. I don’t know what this is, but it was a profitable development for me.
‘Let’s give him a proper answer.’
But with a little more courtesy.
“My grandfather called me after a long time, so I went there nervously……. I didn’t know he wouldn’t know this basic thing. “
I didn’t know either. Wouldn’t it be a first-class victory?
Of course, the attending physician questioned me back.
“But why did you eat seafood? I am sure you knew that it wasn’t good for your health.”
“……There’s no way I can refuse the food my grandfather gave me. On my way to bring up the story of a broken engagement.”
If it was Seong Chan-young, he would never have said this, but I burned my acting skills that raised my soul to appeal to him as much as possible, “I’m just a scared human being because I’m scared of my grandfather.”
‘…did it work?’
I wasn’t confident, but strangely enough, the attending physician, who listened to me, was tearing up for some reason…… He then apologized to me.
“I’m sorry. I’m ashamed. On behalf of the chairman, I apologize to the young master.”
“No. It was a well-earned punishment. With how often I go out, I shouldn’t have forgotten that I am allergic to seafood.”
If I were to compare the levels of consciousness, someone at home would surely know. Nevertheless, no one knew that Seong Chan-young could not eat seafood.
‘……Did he really know but pretend not to know?’
Chairman Seong’s attitude, which was too much, was on my mind. I didn’t expect him to express his disapproval like this. As expected, the chairman of the largest company knows how to secretly spin the gong.
I was a little angry. It would be rude to me if this was done knowingly, but it was unforgivable in that it was an atrocity to just throw away precious food.
‘As expected, the conclusion is escape.’
There was nothing to be sorry about being Seong Chan-young’s family. It seemed that the ugly hair was already stuck, so it was a difficult situation to improve. I should never forget what I learned from dealing with gongs whose personalities seemed to have been chewed up.
Even if the people in this world are not paper humans, they won’t deviate much from the original characters.
The only one in the world to trust was myself.
‘I’m lonely.’
The fact made my shoulders droop. The attending physician, who saw it, was nervous and tried to soothe me.
“Not quite, young master. The chairman really wanted to spend quality time with you, young master.”
Hey, doctor. I don’t fall for that sweet talk. I’m not a 5-year-old kid.
“Thank you for saying so, sir.”
“In that case, the chairman…….”
“But I don’t believe it.”
“What?”
Unlike before, when I cut off the tail of the horse coldly, grandfather’s attending physician looked very flustered.
“My grandfather is my family. But he didn’t know that I was allergic to seafood? He really didn’t know that I’d get sick badly if I ate like this?”
“That’s… The chairman has a reason for everything.”
“I must not be included in that situation, then.”
I pulled myself up and came down under the bed. Putting on slippers on the floor, I faced my grandfather’s attending physician directly.
“Look now. Grandfather, or Chairman Seong, is not showing up in my hospital room.”
“No, he said he’d be here soon. The only reason for the delay is the guilt that the chairman didn’t know what he needed to know as a family, like you said.”
The pupils of the gray-haired physician, who spoke with an urgent excuse, were shaking. I smirked at the sight.
“You don’t have to try to defend the chairman that much. I understand what the chairman really means.”
In the original work, Seong Chan-young was always a
nuisance
