30 minutes before the stream of Spring and Summer was to end, Lee Hyun-woo, who was watching her stream, left the hotel.
*Vroom, Bouuuuu!*
The blaring exhaust sound of his sports car filled the hotel parking lot.
“Oh shit....”
A heavy tremor was transmitted through the steering wheel he was holding onto.
Or it may have been his hands which were shaking with excitement.
Lee Hyun-woo carefully stepped on the accelerator.
The black sports car smoothly pulled out of the parking lot.
Interestingly, Hyunwoo Lee was actually a pretty good driver.
It was because of his company job.
It had been the type of environment where there was no work to do within the actual building, so it was common for office workers to drive to the site of work or do deliveries.
The driving skills learned from that time were displayed without filter.
“Ahahaha!”
Laughter erupted out of nowhere.
To be honest, the driving stability and the transmitted vibration appeared to be worse than that of a regular car.
However, if riding comfort was evaluated with such a method, Lee Hyun-woo would not have bought a sports car.
The true comfort of this car was expressed on the road.
‘So is this what Moses felt when he parted the sea?’
As the sleek sports car passed, the cars around it moved out of the way.
It appeared as if they were acknowledging the difference in rank and paving the way for him to get past.
In reality, they were just saving themselves from having to pay huge insurance fees if they got into a crash with Hyeon-Woo Lee’s car.
“Okay. Since you guys are letting me through, don’t mind me.”
*Boooaaaaang-!*
Hyunwoo Lee fully enjoyed the feeling of driving the sports car.
The black car sped down the road.
Possibly because he was too excited about the new purchase, he covered the 30-minute distance to Yuna’s home in just 15 minutes.
It was thanks to his fast speed and the cars that got out of his way.
While it was good that he arrived quickly, it was inevitable that he had to wait that little bit longer now though.
“Still, she lives in a pretty nice area.”
Lee Hyun-woo got out of the car and looked around the house where spring and summer lived and marvelled at the surrounding scenery.
Spring and Summer had said herself that she had to become the head of the household due to difficult family circumstances.
But looking at their living circumstances, the neighbourhood they lived in was quite a good spot.
And the house she lived in looked to be quite an expensive villa.
Would that mean that the family is still living a lavish lifestyle even after having gone bankrupt?
There was a saying in Korea about how even if a rich man was to go bankrupt, the status of wealth would last for at least 3 more years.
‘Well, I guess I’ll just have to figure her out slowly.’
After all, there was plenty of time.
As long as Spring Summer continued to stream and Lee Hyun-woo sponsored her, there were countless opportunities for them to talk and meet up.
“...Huh? Are you leaving now?”
“We decided to meet while I was streaming earlier! Stop following me!”
On the 4th floor…
The movement-sensitive lights were switched and could be seen through the glass windows of the villa’s corridor.
And the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the two occupants.
He could hear a man’s voice followed by the voice of spring and summer.
“No, but does it make sense that only the two of you are meeting up alone at this time?”
“Then when else? My stream ended at twelve. When should we meet? And you’re not my father. Stop saying weird things and just eat your chicken and go to sleep!”
“Sister!”
The sound of footsteps running down the stairs and the pair’s voices grew louder and louder.
Very soon, Hyeon-Woo Lee saw Spring and Summer, who had come down dressed as she was while on stream, and her younger brother, Lee Ji-hoon, who had followed her down.
“Oh! President! Hey, it’s nice to meet you.” “President... Hello.”
Spring and summer was both excited and nervous when she saw Lee Hyun-woo standing at the entrance of the luxury villa.
And Lee Ji-hoon bowed his head with a trembling face and greeted him politely.
Lee Hyeon-woo had roughly worked out what the matter was judging by the facial expressions and gestures of the siblings.
Lee Ji-hoon was worried about his sister meeting up with some random man alone at midnight.
And it was clear that Spring and Summer was of the stance that it was necessary to keep her promise to Lee Hyun-woo, who was the biggest sponsor of their stream.
“It’s the first time you’ve actually seen me, right? I’m used to seeing you guys on stream, but since you’re seeing me for the first time, it might be a little awkward. It’s nice to meet you. You can call me Hyun-woo Lee.”
“Oh, yes! I am Yuna!”
“I’m Lee Ji-hoon.”
When he sent messages and sponsorships on the chat, the younger brother acted very friendly, but not so much right now.
Hyunwoo Lee tried to understand the thoughts running through the high school boy’s head.
He probably did not understand what was going on, but he was living alone with his older sister.
And if that same sister suddenly told him that she was going on a night out with some other guy, he’d feel like she was being taken away.
Lee Hyeon-woo understood and accepted Lee Ji-hoon’s complaint and decided to go about reassuring him like an adult.
“Jihoon. I don’t know if you heard but I just received my newly bought car today. I just suggested to Yuna that we go on a drive in the new car. And since the car is only a two-seater, I wouldn’t be able to take you too. Otherwise, the three of us could have eaten out together. Would it be alright if I go alone with your sister today?”
Lee Hyun-woo’s soft words caused Lee Ji-hoon’s expression to relax a little.
Most high school students were at that age where they thought they knew everything.
And regarding the situation of their household, he knew that if Lee Hyeon-woo asked to see either of them, they would have to go out even if he called for them late at night.
Otherwise, Spring and Summer wouldn’t be able to generate any more money from streaming.
But at the same time, one’s teenage years were also the time when one’s emotional thinking could overrule their rational thinking.
And so, while making money was important, so were his emotions and pride as a brother.
In Lee Ji-hoon’s eyes, it may have looked as if his older sister was being sold off.
But what was that kind of money even worth?
If only their dad and mom had come back, he would not have to worry about money ever again.
He tried to keep his sister from going out with that thought in mind.
But when he finally met Lee Hyun-woo, the adult appeared to be a good person.
And he also happened to be the hope for the siblings who were going through difficult times.
They also talked a lot through chat.
And as such a person had tried to deal with him with soft persuasion, Lee Ji-hoon thought that it would be okay for his sister to go out if it was Lee Hyun-woo.
As he had said, he was really in his 20s.
He didn’t seem to be one of those strange big shots that Jihoon had read about in news articles.
Besides, Hyeon-Woo Lee was a great help to the growth of Spring and Summer’s stream as well.
“Yes... That’s fine.”
Jihoon Lee agreed.
Seeing that, Hyunwoo Lee took out his wallet.
In it was a bundle of 50,000 won bills stacked together.
Lee Hyeon-woo roughly picked out five or six such bills and handed them to Lee Ji-hoon.
“Have you eaten yet? Order something delicious with this. She’ll be fine with me. So, Yuna, why don’t you get in the passenger seat?”
“Thank you.”
“Yes, ok! President!”
