S1 (Chapter - 4)

The next day, Jeong Gukk returned home with some movers. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that everyone in the house was waiting for him, watching him with some embarrassment.

Jeong Gukk was too lazy to pay attention to them, taking people upstairs to pack his important stuff and move out.

As Jeong Gukk brought people upstairs, his dad, stepmother, and Yun Seojun carefully followed him up to see what Jeong Gukk was bringing people to do.

They thought that Jeong Gukk had brought someone to throw out Yun Seojun’s things, but he instead led people into his own room and told three of them what needed to be packed away. He then took several others to his mother’s study.

In this study, there were many very important things, so there were two kinds of locks: password and key. Only Jeong Gukk could open the door.

“Gukk, are you going to move out?” Yun Haejin and Jeong Yongsu looked at each other, then turned back to Jeong Gukk and said, “Gukk, I know you’re angry, but we really didn’t want to hurt you, which is why we hid it from you. These kinds of feelings can’t be forced…”

“Did I say I was trying to force anything?” Jeong Gukk interrupted her, saying, “If you want to watch, stand back and don’t stop them from working.”

“Gukk! It’s clear that you’re doing more than you say!” Jeong Yongsu posed with the authority of a father figure. “You angered Kim Mingyu, which was very irrational for you and the company! Besides, if Kim Mingyu doesn’t marry you, he’s free to be with who he wants. If it’s not Seojun, he’ll be with other people. You should be glad that Seojun is with him, otherwise if you did all of this, the company would be destroyed by your own hands.”

“Everything you say makes me sick, can you shut up?” Jeong Gukk said expressionlessly.

“Gukk, I know that this’ll be hard to accept for a while, but Seojun really feels guilty, and you’ve already made so many people talk about him and laugh at him. You’ve already punished him. Mingyu is very angry now, and Seojun has already gone to plead with Mingyu for you. You can go apologize personally to Mingyu and let him vent his anger, then it’ll be a thing of the past, okay?”

Yun Haejin and Jeong Yongsu sang both a white face and a black face (1), acting both soft and hard towards Jeong Gukk. They wanted him to personally apologize to Kim Mingyu so that Kim Mingyu could save some face. They also wanted him to pay less attention to Yun Seojun, so that Yun Seojun could continue to live in the family.

Jeong Gukk’s mother took the company over from his grandfather, which mainly dealt in products like perfumes, aromatherapy, essential oils, and other such items. Although it wasn’t a big brand, it was a small and well-established company. Because of its good price-performance ratio, it was very popular with ordinary people.

Jeong Gukk’s mother, while very good at business, didn’t inherit his grandfather’s gift for fragrance. Jeong Gukk was the same; although he had learned about perfume since he was a child, his talent for fragrance could only be considered average. His sense of smell was not particularly sensitive and his olfactory senses weren’t that great. He was no match for Yun Seojun, who was later called a perfume genius.

His grandfather left Jeong Gukk’s mother more than fifty books about perfumery, incense, and aromatherapy, which were all passed down from the previous generation of the Jeong family ancestors. The content recorded in the books was all encoded. When Jeong Gukk was young, his mother taught him the correct way to read them, and told him he must never forget. In the past, although Jeong Gukk could read them, it was impossible to understand the profound contents of the books because his olfactory senses weren’t very good. However, after his rebirth, Jeong Gukk read through the books and found them much easier to understand.

In his previous life, Jeong Gukk was distressed because he couldn’t understand the contents of the books and felt that he had betrayed the hope and trust of his mother. Yun Seojun said that he would help him, and because he trusted Yun Seojun, he was really stupid enough to write out the way to understand the books and gave them to Yun Seojun to read. Later, Yun Seojun became a very famous perfumer and aromatherapist at a young age. These things played a key role.

In this world, Yun Seojun had only seen two of the books, and just these two books greatly benefited the talented Yun Seojun. Even before entering university, Xu Wangya, a famous perfumer, selected him as a disciple. Occasionally when he went to other countries to participate in displays and purchase raw materials, he would bring some back for Yun Seojun.

Yun Seojun stood at the door of the study and saw Jeong Gukk carefully packing the ancient books away into an anti-theft box with a password lock, ready to be moved away. He was immediately anxious, as he had a hunch that he wouldn’t ever learn anything from those books again.

“Gukk, it’s all my fault, I’ll apologize to you, do I need to kneel down for you?!” Yun Seojun really knelt down at the door, anxiously looking at Jeong Gukk and saying, “Please, as long as you can forgive me, I’ll apologize as much as I can! I’ll move out of this house, and as long as you’re angry, I won’t come back, okay?!”

Yun Haejin watched Yun Seojun kneel and apologize to Jeong Gukk and was very distressed. She said with some anger, “Gukk, Seojun has already kneeled down and came clean to you, what else do you want? Do you have to be so unreasonable?!”

“Yes, Gukk,” Jeong Gukk’s aunt added. “We’re all family here, why make things so ugly? Seojun begged you, so just forgive him. Kim Mingyu loves Seojun and doesn’t love you, that’s not Seojun’s fault. In fact, we all think that even if you love Kim Mingyu, you won’t be able to marry him. Kim Mingyu obviously really loves Seojun and is very likely to marry him, which is why we didn’t tell you. This is also for your company’s sake.”

Jeong Gukk automatically ignored everything they said and let the moving company move all the packed things away. The men stepped over Yun Seojun’s kneeling figure, put the anti-theft box on the cart outside, and pushed the cart directly into the elevator.

“Gukk!” Yun Seojun saw that the books had been moved away and became even more anxious. “I’ll break up with Kim Mingyu, as long as you forgive me, I’ll never see him again! I promise I’ll break up cleanly with Kim Mingyu (2)! Please don’t move out!”

Jeong Gukk finished checking the study to see if there was anything left. He decided that everything necessary had been moved away and walked out while saying, “This house has already been sold; you have two days to move your things out. In two days, this house will belong to someone else. If you don’t leave then people will call the police, so don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

“What did you say?!” Jeong Yongsu looked at Jeong Gukk in shock and angrily said, “You sold the house?! This is a house I bought with your mother, I am your father, and you dare to sell it without my consent?!”

Yun Haejin, too, was so anxious that she quickly followed Jeong Gukk and said, “Gukk, you’re really going too far. Although you’re an adult now, your father still matters, how can you sell the house without his consent? And since you sold the house, where will we live?”

“Where you want to live, what does it matter to me? Isn’t your son with Kim Mingyu now? One of the Kim family’s businesses is real estate, they have plenty of money and houses. Let the Kim family give you a house or a mansion, why bother living in my house?”

Yun Haejin and Yun Seojun looked even more ugly after hearing Jeong Gukk’s words. If they really did live in a house given to them by Kim Mingyu, then Yun Seojun would go from dating Kim Mingyu to being kept by him (3), which was completely different. If Yun Seojun had a reputation of being a kept man, not only would he be looked down upon, but the Kim family and Kim Mingyu’s grandfather would not agree to let them marry.

Yun Seojun didn’t expect that Jeong Gukk would go so far as selling the house. He quickly ran after Jeong Gukk and looked at him with a pale face. “Gukk, what do you want me to do? As long you say it, I’ll do it.”

Jeong Gukk smiled coldly and said, “I’ve already sold my house and I’ve finished saying what I have to say. I’ll do whatever I want from now on. The times when you would rely on while calculating against me are over. You should learn to be self-reliant.”

“Gukk!” Yun Seojun called out to the leaving Jeong Gukk. “You’re gambling at the cost of your own future and the entire company, you know that? I know I’m sorry, I can apologize to you, I can confess my sins, but I sincerely hope that you don’t punish yourself because of my mistakes.”

“As a person, you shouldn’t be too full of yourself, but do you really think that Kim Mingyu is so great that he can do whatever he wants to me? You’d better worry more about where you’ll live.” Jeong Gukk walked away as he finished speaking.

“Stop it! This is my house, who allowed you to sell it! Stop!” Jeong Yongsu screamed as he chased him out.

Yun Haejin sat on the sofa with her legs soft, then looked at Yun Seojun and asked, “This…Will it affect your marriage to Kim Mingyu? What should we do?”

Yun Seojun sat down with a grim face. He had no idea what to do for the time being; he could only discuss it with Kim Mingyu.

Jeong Yongsu chased after Jeong Gukk, but Jeong Gukk had already driven away. He could only angrily return to the house in a hurry.

When Jeong Gukk’s mother and Jeong Yongsu divorced, Jeong Yongsu also got some property. Jeong Yongsu began to make various investments to prove his ability, but all his investments failed, and he lost all his money. Now that Jeong Gukk sold the house and would no longer be responsible for all their expenses, it could be said there’s a salary at the bottom of the kettle, and they’d face many problems. (4)

“Brother, Gukk sold the house, where will we live in the future?!” Jeong Gukk’s aunt turned around anxiously and angrily scolded him, “This Gukk has too big a temper and a hard heart! I can’t believe he didn’t even care about his dad and sold the house! What do we do?”

“Don’t move! This is my house, I will definitely not move!” Jeong Yongsu gritted his teeth.

Jeong Gukk had already gone through the formalities of the transfer procedures; the owner of the house had changed, and they had to move.
