Kim Seo mil (Tae's grandpa)
(leaning on the headboard of the bed)
(his expression is calm and relaxed)
Kim Seo mil (Tae's grandpa)
(stroking his grandson's head)
Kim Tae
(leaning on his grandpa's chest)
Kim Tae
(trying hard to control his emotions until a broken sob broke free from his restraint)
Sob...
Kim Seo mil (Tae's grandpa)
(smiled)
After I am gone... You must take good care of my Manor and my car collection otherwise I will be mad.
Kim Tae
(abruptly looked up at him)
Seriously... At times like this...
(laughed through tears)
You and your obsession with your Manor and cars.....
Kim Seo mil (Tae's grandpa)
(wiped his tears)
Promise me or my ghost will haunt you....
Kim Tae
(tried to give a reassuring smile)
I promise.
Kim Seo mil (Tae's grandpa)
(his expression changed and he almost looked guilty as he looked at Tae)
My little treasure....
💭 there's something I haven't told you yet..💭
Kim Tae
(noticed and immediately know that something is bothering his grandfather)
Kim Tae
Grandpa... What are you hiding??
Tae's grandpa passed away.
butler
(standing beside him)
Young master...
Your parents have arrived...
Kim Tae
(stood up and dashed out of the room)
A couple walked in.
The servants bowed and greeted them without looking at them.
The man had a cold and detached aura around him while the woman beside him remained calm and composed... Until...
They saw their one and only son running down the stairs towards them.
Mr Kim
(caught his son in his big wide arms)
(his cold and detached mask cracked instantly)
Mr Kim
(worry was all that was written on his face)
Tae... my son.
What happened???
(called gently and he continued patting the back of his crying son)
Kim Tae
Da....dad... Dad ....
Grandpa... grandpa....
Wuuuahhh....wu....sob ...sob...
Mr Kim
(panicked)
What happened to Dad....
butler
(came and told them that Mr. Kim's father has passed away)
Mr Kim
What...what???
💭 how's this possible...
Didn't the doctor say that dad was fine a few days ago.....then how ... Suddenly...💭
I am afraid
Tae's grandfather's funeral was as per his last wish, was very simple.
Tae's grandpa was wealthy and had always cherished his beloved manor and his old car collection but he never liked to show-off his wealth.
Yet, No media reporters have ever caught a sight of him because he didn't like to be photographed Because
even if he(Tae's grandpa) was a well known respectful man, he liked peace and quiet.
And he hated to be on the news.
That was why, his funeral was simple and no media reporters were allowed in the process.
Not a single photo was taken.
Only a few close family members attended the funeral.
But the world still knew that the Kim Seo mil, the wealthiest man in the country has passed away leaving his wealth to his only son, Mr. Kim.
And his son, Mr. Kim is a self-made industrialist.
He started his company at the age of 18 and worked hard to create his own career.
now, his name comes in the list of the country's biggest businessmen.
All the news channels are playing this news and speculating about the amount of wealth that the old master Kim left for his son...
And how wealthy the Kim family is...
Meanwhile the Kim family is slowly coming out of their grief.
Mr Kim
Tae...
Are you sure about it??
Mrs. kim
(sobbing)
Baby... You...
You don't have to do this??
Kim Tae
it was grandpa's last wish.
He... He wants me to give it a try and if it doesn't work out then he won't blame me.
Mr Kim
(pulled him in his hug)
Baby... You don't have to force yourself in a relationship with an unknown boy.. Just because your grandpa said it.
Mrs. kim
Yes.
You don't have to force yourself.
Kim Tae
(came out of his father's embrace)
dad, it's what grandpa wanted and he just asked me to try it.
So, I will just give it a try.
Mr Kim
(sighed because he knew nothing can change Tae's decision)
Mr Kim
But first, you have to come back to the city with us.
You are not staying here anymore.
Kim Tae
But...(got interrupted)
Mrs. kim
Baby...
Your grandfather loved this Manor and didn't stay in the city with us. That's why we let you stay here to accompany him.
And I know you loved to stay with him but now...
(her voice grew heavy)
Mrs. kim
Now....after he is gone.
We can't let you stay here alone.
It will be too much for you to bear.
Mr Kim
Moreover, I was planning to introduce you at the company.
As my heir, you have to take responsibility.
You can no longer hide your talent.
Mrs. kim
we want the world to know that.....(got interrupted)
Kim Tae
Mom, dad..
You know i am just like grandpa.
I don't like to show off.
I want peace and quiet and here it's peaceful.
Kim Tae
Moreover, I can't abandon my botanical garden.
All my exotic flower and plants will die if I leave them in the care of house help.
Mr Kim
Sometimes, I feel you don't even love us...(got interrupted)
Kim Tae
(hugged his neck again)
Dad.... to be honest,
I am just scared.
I... I don't want to reveal my truth.
Kim Tae
So... Your company... I can't..
Mr Kim
Tae.. You are my son.
Mr Kim
Your are Kim Tae
Noone in this world will say something about your body or physique.
Kim Tae
But I.. I just don't want the drama.
I don't want to hear news about me being different from normal people and affect your business....
Mrs. kim
Baby... You...
How can you even think like that...
(sighed)
Come here.
(hugged her tightly)
Kim Tae
💭 mom.. Dad...
I just don't want to create problems for you two.
I am just fine living here.💭
Mrs. kim
Baby... It's ok.
If you don't want to work in the company... It's ok.
Mrs. kim
You want to stay here...We agree.
but... you have to promise that you will never think about yourself like this....
Mrs. kim
Moreover, your dad, grandpa and I...
We have never treated you differently.
for us, you are our child, our treasure, our most precious thing.
Mrs. kim
Baby.... we just want you to be happy and live your life to the fullest.
Kim Tae
Thanks mom.
I love you both.

There were ten key witnesses in the engagement ceremony and photos were also taken as proof.

butler
There's no way out.
Kim Tae
(didn't understand his meaning and looked up to look at him)
Please, Explain.
butler
Your fiancé must marry you otherwise 80 % of their businesses and properties will be claimed by Kim family.
And they will have to go to jail for at least 20 years....
Kim Tae
(shocked)
That's... That's just threatening them.
Why would grandpa threaten them like th.....(stopped when he realised that his grandpa did all of it for him but)
Kim Tae
Even if we do get married, he will only see me as a burden. Won't he??
butler
Then, we can charge them for mental assault to put him behind bars...
Don't worry, young master.
We will not let anyone harm you.
Kim Tae
(sighed)
That's not the problem.
💭the problem is that it will only remain a forced relationship??💭
Forget it.

butler
i have, however,
The main family has moved abroad ten years ago and there's hardly any way to contact them...
Kim Tae
Then, with whom have you arranged the meeting if they aren't in the country.

It's the family of your fiance's uncle.

Your Father-in-law has a younger brother. So, we will be visiting their place tomorrow.

I will, young master.

Wait...
Uncle, call my lawyer to come meet me in the evening.

As you wish.
Anything else you want me to do.
