“She’d actually take you up on that, just because.” Leon admitted, laughing and rubbing his temple. He noticed the immediate change in Hyun-Ae’s expression when he mentioned his mother-in-law. Before he could question her about it, she continued to speak and he nodded when she asked him if he remembered someone his uncle had told him about years ago. “Jinjja?” He reacted when she revealed that the person her father had been talking about in that story was Myung-Hee.
That’s what he said.
What he was thinking was ‘sh-t’.
He was well aware of the resentment his wife’s family held towards the company that fired her mother and the manager of her former group, which was apparently his uncle. They’d even forbidden Yeong-Mi’s brother from auditioning for that company when he was beginning his career as an idol. “Think you could maybe not tell your dad that?” He asked her. He knew that he couldn’t keep this from him forever but he knew that he would rather Dae-ho hear it from him.
He nodded as she advised him to give it time. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” He agreed, even though ‘giving it time’ was the last thing that Leon wanted to do. He didn’t like giving things time. To him, all it did was allow for things to worse and he really didn’t want to think about all the ways this situation with Persephone could go wrong. “Anything new and exciting in your life?” He asked her, clearly attempting to change the topic.
