"Did you put that kid in the car?"
"Yes, I put him to sleep because he kept rebelling in the car."

"That guy's stubborn... Okay. Let's go."
"Yes, sir."

"Mr. Chairman, I brought that child."
정국 아빠
"...Let's take a look."

"...."

"Greetings, this is Chairman Jeon Hyeon-guk of JH Group. He is the father of the young master Jeon Jeong-guk whom you are with."
김석진
"....."
비서
"This guy, even if he says hello!"
정국 아빠
"Just leave it. If it were you, you'd greet the person who brought you here for no reason."
정국 아빠
"Sit down, Seokjin! Thank you for coming all this way. And you should go now."
비서
"Yes, Mr. Chairman."
김석진
"Why did the chairman of such a large corporation call me?"
정국 아빠
"You know very well why I called you."
정국 아빠
"You took our Jeongguk home back then and have been taking care of him ever since, right?"
정국 아빠
"I called you here because I was curious about what kind of child you are to do such a bold thing."
김석진
"To be exact, you must have dragged him here."
정국 아빠
"...I'm sorry I brought you here after putting you to sleep. But I should know what kind of child is taking care of my son."
김석진
".....Why are you so curious about the child who abandoned the father who abandoned his child?"
정국 아빠
"......Haha! I like how direct that guy is! Haha!"
정국 아빠
"Okay, let me get to the point. There's a reason I abandoned Jeongguk. He has a heart condition, and the doctor says he has less than a year left to live. So, you can't blame him for abandoning a child who's destined to die young, right?"
정국 아빠
"I don't know if you know, but I've been running this company for 13 years now. You have no idea how much effort I've put into growing it. If that child dies, it will be a huge blow to the company, and if that happens, the company's image will plummet."
정국 아빠
"But is there any reason I should keep this child? If I abandon him, he can live out the rest of his life without worrying about what others think, and I won't suffer any consequences for the company either. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
김석진
"....Did you call me here to make excuses?"
김석진
"Do you think Jungkook will be happy if he doesn't live feeling the gaze of those around him?"
김석진
"Abandoned by his father and left to his own devices in a missing state, how can an eight-year-old child handle that?"
정국 아빠
"That's why I called you, Seokjin. I need you to take care of Jeongguk."
정국 아빠
"Jungkook must have been shocked to see you dragged here by our secretaries. So now he won't trust me even if I come to him. So, you take care of him like you did before."
정국 아빠
"I did some background research on you and found out you're an orphan, too. Think of him as your own brother and take care of Jeongguk."
김석진
"I was planning to do it even if you didn't say so, Chairman. So, don't worry about that kid anymore."
정국 아빠
"what?"
김석진
“Do you really want to hear the word ‘father’ from the son you abandoned?”
정국 아빠
"No. That's enough. I think I've taken too long. I put an envelope of money in your pocket while you were asleep. Please take good care of our Jungkook with it. This is Jungkook's last request as his father."
정국 아빠
"I trust you'll treat me well. Then you may leave now. Thank you for coming. Be careful on your way back."
김석진
"...."
Bam-
bang-!
Bam-
김석진
"Jungkook, hyung is here."
전정국
"Sh...Seokjin hyung...? Huh...hyung!"
김석진
"Jungkook... how have you been? Haha.."
전정국
"..huh...huh...sob...I thought you were dead...sob..."
김석진
"Why did you die, hyung... hyung won't die, Jungkook. I'll be with you until you die."
전정국
"I...saw...my...dad...telling me to kill someone...sob..."
김석진
".....what...?"
김석진
"Dad... So, Jungkook saw his dad... ordering him to kill someone...?"
전정국
"N...yes...huh...I knew you'd be like that too...!! Huh..."
김석진
"...Jungkook, it's okay... it's okay... I'll always be by Jungkook's side... it's okay..."
전정국
"Huh...hyung...really...really...you're going to do that...?"
김석진
"Then~...hehe...hyung will make you a delicious dinner, let's go in! Now stop crying and stop!"
전정국
"...Yes...hyung..."
To me, Jeongguk's father remained in my memory as a father who ignored and avoided his children until the very end, and only cared about his own interests.
