Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

"Weren't you preparing lunch?"

Wu Haiyuan's father spoke to Wu Haiyuan's mother, who was standing next to Han Xijun.

Han Xijun stood up and asked, "Does Auntie need my help?"

Wu Haiyuan's mother waved her hand and said, "How can I let you help in the kitchen?"

Wu Haiyuan's father asked, "Do you know how to do housework?"

Han Xijun said, "Yes, I can cook too."

Wu Haiyuan's mother suddenly complained, "You, who never even step into the kitchen, have absolutely no idea how to take care of people."

Wu Haiyuan's father, who was being criticized, was unable to refute the criticism.

This is also a common phenomenon in families in country H.

The male lead outside, the female lead inside.

After marriage, most women choose to give up their jobs, careers, and dreams, and return to their families, enduring the difficulties posed by their mothers-in-law, working long hours to take care of their husbands, do housework, and manage the household.

Having children means devoting even more time and energy to their care, often working at least a dozen hours a day without rest. Even so, men who work outside often take out their frustrations on their wives after a long day at work, never thinking of helping with housework.

Perhaps Wu Haiyuan's father is a special exception.

Unlike what Wu Haiyuan's mother said, he did nothing.

Because of the nature of their work, judges also need to continue reviewing case files after returning home.

Han Hee-joon does not take sides.

He hasn't experienced it, so he's not qualified to comment.

He just does that, he takes the initiative to share the housework.

To put it bluntly, young couples or spouses should share the burden of living together and shouldn't be expected to make sacrifices. Women from average families almost always continue working after marriage until they become pregnant and need to rest.

Even after having children, young people will still try to earn money to supplement their household income; this is the current trend among young people.

Wu Haiyuan's mother went to the kitchen.

To properly entertain Han Hee-joon, the cooking requires a lot of effort.

Once again, only Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan's father remained in the living room. Wu Haiyuan's father asked, "You work at Kakao Group?"

"Yes"

"A permanent employee?"

"Yes, head of the AI ​​R&D center at Kakao Group."

Wu Haiyuan's father did not acknowledge that Han Xijun was a promising young man.

I changed the question: "Are you from Incheon?"

Han Hee-joon said, "Yes, it's the SL apartment near my home in Nam-dong."

A hint of surprise flashed across Wu Haiyuan's father's face.

He certainly knew about SL Apartments; it was the most famous luxury apartment in Namdong, or rather, the most famous in Incheon.

A 50-ping (approximately 33 square meters) apartment costs twice as much as theirs.

What do your family members do?

Han Xijun said, "My father is a professor at Pusan ​​National University. Before being transferred to Pusan ​​National University, he was a professor in the Physics Department at Hanyang University. My mother is now a housewife. She left S Group five years ago and works as an accountant." After a moment of silence, Wu Haiyuan's father asked, "And you?"

Han Xijun said, "I work at Kakao Group on an annual salary system, with an annual salary of 500 million H yuan, not including the year-end bonus, stock options, and team bonuses."

"I haven't bought a house in Seoul yet. I currently live in a luxury apartment provided by my company in Yongsan R Apartment. I bought two cars, which I paid in full last year after I received my salary."

"I don't smoke, I almost never attend social gatherings, I rarely drink alcohol, I have no other bad habits, and I have no criminal record."

"Uncle, I don't have any mental illness or hereditary disease, and I don't have violent tendencies."

Wu Haiyuan's father hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He didn't get to ask what he wanted to ask, but Han Xijun blurted it all out himself.

If this is true, then there's really nothing to criticize.

Wu Haiyuan's father asked, "Then why did you choose our Haiyuan?"

Han Hee-joon answered calmly, "The first time I met Hae-won was when we were recording a show. At that time, I refused to record the show, but because Hae-won needed to record the show to promote the group, I finally agreed. I agreed because Hae-won's eagerness and her sincerity moved me."

"I am an introverted person. Apart from work communication, I rarely speak. When I do speak, I only say the most crucial things that can accurately convey information."

Wu Haiyuan's father interjected, "You?" because Han Xijun had been responding ever since he sat down on the sofa, and he had been very detailed in everything he said, from beginning to end.

How could a quiet, introverted person perform in this way?

It is not impossible.

The premise is that someone who can change him, someone who can make him behave in a way that is completely different from his usual behavior, is very important to him.

Han Xijun's subsequent words also clarified the reason.

It was because I was influenced by Wu Haiyuan's lively and outgoing personality after spending time with him.

Whenever Wu Haiyuan is around, I always find him amusing and I always think that this person with a personality completely opposite to mine is very interesting.

I learned some corny jokes from Wu Haiyuan and told them to my colleagues.

When I don't see Wu Haiyuan, and when I relax and have some time to myself, I really think of Wu Haiyuan.

That's why Han Xijun realized he had fallen for Wu Haiyuan.

It was another long, eloquent speech.

This time, Wu Haiyuan's father did not interrupt Han Xijun. He believed that Han Xijun was telling the truth.

The more this happened, the more frustrated Wu Haiyuan's father felt.

In addition, Han Xijun said that the reason he came to visit alone was to get his parents' permission to date.

Han Xijun heard from Wu Zhiyuan that he had brought his boyfriend home before but they broke up. No matter what he has to face, Han Xijun still has to come over as soon as possible.

Wu Haiyuan's mother came out carrying a tray of food.

Hearing this conversation, she said, "The boyfriend Zhiyuan brought back last time was a nice young man, but he definitely can't compare to you, Xijun."

Wu Haiyuan's father said, "A fine young man? He thinks he's something special just because he works at SK Group. He doesn't know manners, has no plans for the future, and even gave Zhiyuan a hard time in front of me."

Turning his head, Wu Haiyuan's father stared at Han Xijun.

Han Xijun immediately said, "Whatever Haiyuan says goes, whatever Haiyuan wants to do, I will support Haiyuan unconditionally."

Wu Haiyuan's father seized on a key point and immediately said, "So, you lack your own opinions?"

Han Xijun nodded in response: "I will follow Haiyuan's arrangements regarding personal matters. Life is not work, Uncle."

At the crucial moment, Wu Haiyuan's mother added insult to injury: "Listen to this, this is how you should love someone, this is the attitude of being responsible for your family, my Judge Wu." Instantly.

The living room was incredibly awkward.

Han Xijun originally wanted to smooth things over, but the judge was different; he was just a company employee, and their work situation and nature were incomparable.

Before Han Xijun could speak, Wu Haiyuan's father stood up from the sofa and said, "You said you wanted to drink, so are you drinking at noon today?"

Han Xijun stood up and said, "Uncle, I brought two bottles of wine down. I will definitely drink with you today and nothing will bother me."

"well."

"Uncle, I'll get the wine."

Wu Haiyuan's father looked at the liquor Han Xijun took out of the bag and said, "Maotai?"

"Yes"

"this……"

"Uncle, the wine I brought to eat and drink at your home is not a gift."

After coughing twice, Wu Haiyuan's father walked towards the dining table.

He wasn't trying to talk about the gift.

He has drunk Moutai.

A strong liquor with an alcohol content of 53%.

Originally, he just wanted to drink soju with Han Xijun.

Now Han Xijun has turned the tables on him.

We definitely can't admit defeat; we have to drink, and we have to drink Han Xijun under the table. Of course, getting to the dinner table is also an important moment to test Han Xijun's character, upbringing, and manners.
