84 Unsettled Hearts (2/2)

Heo Woo Seung wondered why the girl was still around.

Seeing the apparent question in the older man's look, In Guk hurriedly explained, ”Ah, did Jin Goo not tell you? Yeo Ri and her brothers are staying in the house for a while because of their... circumstances.”

Heo Woo Seung nodded, ”I see.” He flashed a smile to the restless girl, ”I hope my son has been a good host,” he smiled warmly, seeming as if he was unbothered by the fact that his son had allowed strangers to enter their home without notifying him.

”Y-yes,” Yeo Ri hastily nodded. ”Jin Goo-oppa has been nothing but kind to us,” she says fawningly.

”That's good. I hope you enjoy your stay. Make yourselves at home,” he concluded with a small laugh, appearing gentle and friendly.

”Thank you very much,” Yeo Ri bowed down, thanking the older man for the hospitality.

After the small conversation ended, Heo Woo Seung left.

”Jin Goo-oppa's dad is really nice,” Yeo Ri says, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

”Yeah,” In Guk replied noncommittally.

Yeo Ri continued on with the cooking.

The delicious smell of food wafted in the air, and soon enough, Hyuk, Jin Goo, and Gun came downstairs, just in time for breakfast.

”Yeo Ri-ah, did you cook?” Jin Goo commented upon seeing the food on the dining table. ”You should have just let the housekeeper do these kinds of things,” he says. The housekeeper was scheduled to arrive in half an hour, but Yeo Ri had already prepared a meal for the house.

”Are you that hungry already?” Asked Hyuk, his eyebrow raised.

”No,” Yeo Ri quickly denied. ”I just wanted to do something for Jin Goo-oppa since he's letting us stay at his house.”

Jin Goo smiled at the girl's consideration, ”You didn't have to, Yeo Ri-ah. I'm happy to help.”

Yeo Ri smiled gratefully towards Jin Goo. She ushered everyone to come to the dining table, ”Come and have a taste, everyone.”

The five people sat at the dining table, enjoying Yeo Ri's home-cooked breakfast.
