Chapter 56 His mother calls him Hee-joon
Wu Zhiyuan panicked even more.
Instead of frantically searching for her mother and Han Xijun, she sat back in the driver's seat and continued trying to call Wu Haiyuan.
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
As long as we get in touch with Wu Haiyuan, the situation can be brought under control.
However, Wu Haiyuan's phone remained unanswered.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Zhiyuan dialed his mother's number again.
This time, no one answered Mom's phone either.
Completely helpless, Wu Zhiyuan started the SUV and drove forward along the mainland.
With the car moving slowly, it's all about "taking a chance".
S chain coffee shop near JYP Entertainment in Seongnae-dong.
In Seoul, it's so easy to find a coffee shop to sit down, relax, and chat.
It's no exaggeration to say that there are just as many coffee shops as convenience stores.
Han Xijun ordered a cup of hot tea, and Wu Haiyuan's mother ordered a latte.
Standing at the bar waiting for his hot tea and latte, Han Xijun cautiously glanced back at Wu Haiyuan's mother, who was sitting in the left corner near the bookshelf.
My heart was pounding.
We just went into the coffee shop together.
To be precise, Han Xijun pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop first, and Wu Haiyuan's mother entered the coffee shop slowly afterward.
I said thank you very politely.
Then I politely ordered a latte at the bar.
It was Han Xijun who let Wu Haiyuan's mother sit down first.
Wu Haiyuan's mother didn't stand on ceremony and found a corner spot that Han Xijun could see right now.
This seat is clearly for discussing "secret" topics.
Han Xijun originally thought that he would be "held accountable" after being recognized by Wu Haiyuan's mother in the parking space outside, but nothing happened.
Before the storm, there is always calm.
"Hey customer, your hot tea and latte are ready."
"Thanks"
Picking up the tray, Han Xijun took a deep breath.
This was the first time in his life he had ever been so nervous. He had never been nervous before major exams during his student days, before the results were announced, or when he stepped into a new and unfamiliar campus.
I was getting a little distracted.
Hearing another "thank you" brought Han Hee-joon back to his senses, and he realized that he was already standing next to his seat.
He put down the tray and gently placed the coffee cup in front of Wu Haiyuan's mother.
Wu Haiyuan's mother glanced at the "nervous" Han Xijun and said, "Please sit down."
Han Xijun lifted the chair, trying not to make any noise, and sat down very quietly. After sitting down, he did not lean against the chair, but stood about ten centimeters away with his back straight, facing away from Wu Haiyuan's mother.
Wu Haiyuan's mother took a sip of coffee and said, "Your name is Han Xijun, right?"
Han Xijun stood up abruptly, bowed, and said, "Hello, my name is Han Xijun, I'm from Incheon, I'm 21 years old, and I currently work for the Kakao Group."
Wu Haiyuan's mother gestured with her hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. This isn't an interview. Please sit down."
Sitting down again, Han Xijun said first, "I'm sorry, because of me, Wu Haiyuan Xi was subjected to cyberbullying."
Wu Haiyuan's mother slowly asked, "Is being insulted online considered cyberbullying?"
"Yes."
"Han Xijun Xi"
Looking up, Han Xijun said to Wu Haiyuan's mother, "Yes, Auntie."
Wu Haiyuan's mother asked in confusion, "Auntie?"
Han Xijun explained, "I didn't know how to address you. You are an elder, so I took the liberty of calling you Auntie."
Wu Haiyuan's mother didn't dwell on the form of address. She pinched the handle of the coffee cup with her right thumb and forefinger and said, "Our Haiyuan has never been insulted like this before. Let's talk about cyberbullying. He's never been cyberbullied."
"sorry"
Wu Haiyuan's mother said, "Han Xijun, don't apologize yet. This wasn't something Han Xijun caused on purpose."
Han Xijun nodded repeatedly.
He understood the unspoken meaning behind Wu Haiyuan's mother's words.
Not apologizing right away doesn't mean you don't have to apologize.
Just because it wasn't intentional doesn't mean it wasn't caused by Han Hee-joon.
In fact, Wu Haiyuan was cyberbullied because of Han Xijun. Those who criticized Wu Haiyuan were all people who supported and liked Han Xijun online.
Wu Haiyuan's mother continued, "I came to Seoul from Incheon because I was worried that Haiyuan couldn't handle this kind of cyberbullying. She clearly didn't do anything wrong; she was just doing a job assigned by her company."
"Of course, Han Xijun was also doing his job, it just so happened that he was doing his job with our Haiyuan. I think if it were anyone else, they might have encountered similar cyberbullying as Haiyuan."
"However, given what happened, I personally feel that Han Xijun might be..."
"Sizzle~"
With a sudden stop, Wu Zhiyuan looked at a black family sedan and a white Volvo SUV parked side by side.
She first checked the license plate of the white SUV.
That's right, Wu Zhiyuan remembered Han Xijun's license plate number. He had made a point of remembering it when he asked Wu Haiyuan to help him invite Han Xijun out for dinner last time.
Han Hee-joon's car was parked here, and the black family car next to it had Incheon license plates.
After driving two meters forward, Wu Zhiyuan saw the S Coffee Shop.
There was no one at the seats by the floor-to-ceiling windows, and I had a vague feeling that my mother and Han Xijun had come to S Cafe.
Turn right onto the internal road.
Fortunately, there was still a parking space available. Wu Zhiyuan quickly parked the car, turned off the engine, got out, and walked briskly towards the entrance of S Coffee Shop.
As they approached, they were also checking out the dry cleaners and clothing stores on either side of the coffee shop.
Without lingering outside, Wu Zhiyuan pushed open the glass door and entered the coffee shop.
"welcome"
The waiter is welcoming and greeting us.
Standing at the entrance, Wu Zhiyuan quickly surveyed the coffee shop lobby.
At a glance, she saw her mother sitting in the left corner near the bookshelf, and her upright figure.
Even from more than 20 meters away, Wu Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Han Xijun's sitting posture, wondering if Han Xijun was being scolded.
Others might "give him face" because Han Hee-joon is a genius who graduated from KAIST and is the head of AI research and development at Kakao Group.
Wu Zhiyuan knew very well that if he touched his mother's sore spot, she would not give face to anyone, including his father, who was a judge.
Don't try to reason with your mother at home.
Don't try to reason with your mother about social etiquette when you're out in public.
She has her own set of judgment methods.
And never think of your mother as just a gentle and virtuous housewife.
In the past, my mother was an Incheon female divers, a ruthless character whom even my judge father could easily manipulate.
Han Xijun definitely has never had any contact with someone like his mother.
He's alright.
Worried, Wu Zhiyuan casually ordered a coffee and quickly walked towards the coffee table on the left.
Her mother didn't seem to see her.
Even from three meters away, Wu Zhiyuan could already hear their conversation.
Just then, Han Xijun said sincerely, "Please believe me, Auntie, and give me a chance."
What gives you a chance?
Is Mom going to take action because she didn't get a satisfactory "answer" from Han Xijun?
"Mother"
Wu Zhiyuan called out.
The mother's gaze slowly shifted from Han Xijun to Wu Zhiyuan.
Han Xijun also turned back at the same time.
Han Xijun was stunned when he saw that the person who came was Wu Zhiyuan.
Wu Haiyuan's sister has also come to Seoul from Icheon. It seems that Wu Haiyuan's whole family is very worried and anxious about the cyberbullying she is being subjected to.
My mother asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wu Zhiyuan quickly went to his mother's side, looking at Han Xijun with an apologetic smile, and said, "I'm sorry, did my mother scare Team Leader Han?"
Han Xijun looked at Wu Haiyuan's mother and then at Wu Zhiyuan, saying, "Do I look like I've been frightened?"
Wu Zhiyuan hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Team Leader Han does seem to be feeling unwell. Actually, Mom is worried about Haiyuan. This isn't Team Leader Han's fault. I'll explain to Mom. Team Leader Han..."
The mother interjected, "What do you want to explain to me? Hee-joon has already told me everything."
and many more.
Hee-joon?
I hope I'm not hallucinating.
Is "Mom" the name Han Hee-joon?
They've omitted the surnames and are just calling each other by their first names. It sounds like the two people are very close. How is that possible?
