Dirt Cheap — Chapter 4

M-MANAGING DIRECTOR DOOO...

YOU'RE HERE...

YES, CHAIRMAN. IT'S DO HYUN-IL.

THE, THE MARRIAGE...

WITH PRESIDENT JO'S... DAUGHTER...

SO THIS IS WHY HE SUDDENLY CALLED ME TO THE HOSPITAL.

JO MAN-IK'S DOING.

I'M ALREADY SEEING HER WITH SINCERE INTENTIONS, CHAIRMAN.

HURRY... QUICKLY...

BEFORE I CLOSE MY EYES... YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE WEDDING.

OH, CHAIRMAN!

MANAGING DIRECTOR DO, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

THE CHAIRMAN HAS DOTED TERRIBLY ON OUR EUN-SOO EVER SINCE SHE WAS LITTLE.

EUN-SOO... MY PRINCESS...

THAT'S RIGHT, THE CHAIRMAN ALWAYS CALLED HER HIS PRINCESS.

HE CHERISHED HER SO MUCH, SO IMAGINE HOW BADLY HE WANTS TO SEE HER GET MARRIED.

THAT'S RIGHT... PRESIDENT JO IS COM- PLETELY RIGHT...

STILL, WOULDN'T THREE MONTHS BE A BIT TIGHT?

HOW LONG COULD PREPARATIONS POSSIBLY TAKE?

WHY? IS SHE NOT LISTENING TO YOU?

IS SHE STUBBORNLY REFUSING?

IF I SAY YES, ARE YOU GOING TO HIT HER AGAIN?

MANAGING DIRECTOR DO!

THAT BASTARD IS THROWING HIS WEIGHT AROUND JUST FOR TAKING THE FALL AND DOING TIME FOR THE CHAIRMAN.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES SLAPPING A TIE ON HIM MAKE?

CLINGING TO AN OLD MAN'S DWINDLING LIFELINE, HE MUST BE BURNING UP INSIDE.

I'LL TALK IT OVER WITH EUN-SOO.

OF COURSE, AS A CO-CONSPIRATOR IN THIS PLAY, I INTEND TO DO MY PART.

GOOD. COME PAY YOUR RESPECTS TOGETHER SOON.

AND THINK ABOUT MOVING THE WEDDING FORWARD.

YES, SIR.

EXCUSE ME...

MANAGING DIRECTOR.

WHAT IS IT?

A COURIER DELIVERY JUST ARRIVED AT YOUR OFFICE...

A COURIER?

SEEING THAT THE SENDER IS HANEUL HOSPITAL, IT SEEMS THE YOUNG LADY...

...SENT BACK THE GIFT YOU GAVE HER...

I'LL EXPLAIN THINGS TO HER!

I'LL CLEAR IT UP SOMEHOW...

NEVER MIND.

PARDON?

JUST CANCEL MY AFTERNOON SCHEDULE.

WHY YOUR SCHEDULE...?

I SHOULD GO SEE.

THEY SAY OUR PRINCESS IS PROPERLY PISSED OFF.

young lady, an old woman like me actually likes that sort of thing.

just you wait. you won't find many husbands who make the first move.

even with my old man, ever since we were young, i had to feed him eel and raise holy hell just to get him to do it once in a blue moon...

MRS. CHOO!!

[Delivery Complete] Courier delivery complete. - Recipient: Do Hyun-il

RETURNING THE HUMILIATION LIKE THIS WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING, BUT...

...I HOPE IT SERVES AS AT LEAST A SMALL WARNING TO HIM.

ARE YOU HEADING OUT TO MEET SOMEONE?

YES. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I CAN'T BREATHE!

RIGHT, THE BRUISE...

MASTER EUN- SOO, HAVE YOU BEEN FARING WELL?

UGH, WHY ARE YOU BEING LIKE THIS AGAIN?

PRETENDING NOT TO NOTICE THIS TIME TOO, I SEE.

HOW HAS YOUR JADE BODY FARED IN HEALTH?

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

IN TRUTH, I HAPPENED TO BRING SOMETHING QUITE PRECIOUS TODAY...

OH, YOU FINALLY FINISHED THE RENEWAL.

YEAH. CHANGED THE SUPPLIER FOR THE RAW HAIR.

CHUNSU BRUSH SHOP

A TRADITIONAL CALLIGRAPHY BRUSH BRAND THAT JAE-CHAN INHERITED AND RUNS AS A FAMILY BUSINESS.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I HELD A BRUSH ALONGSIDE MASTER RYU CHUN-SU, A DESIGNATED INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE HOLDER,

BUT JAE-CHAN SAID HE PREFERRED CRAFTING BRUSHES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, EUN-SOO?

IT'S SO SOFT. IT'LL BREAK IN EASILY WITHOUT NEEDING MUCH WORK.

YEAH, TAKING EXTRA CARE REALLY PAID OFF.

BUT THE ENGRAVING HERE...

YEAH. MY GRANDFATHER WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT.

MASTER RYU CHUN-SU DID...?

IT WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS AGO THAT I WENT AROUND BRAGGING ABOUT THE TITLE OF “RYU CHUN-SU’S DISCIPLE,”

YET IT ALREADY FEELS SO DISTANT.

I REALLY SHOULD GO VISIT HIM.

IS MASTER RYU...

...IN GOOD HEALTH?

HE'S HEALTHY, BUT HE KEEPS SAYING HOW MUCH HE MISSES YOU.

SERIOUSLY, IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.

HE KEEPS HOUNDING ME, SAYING HE'D SEE YOU MORE OFTEN IF HE TOOK YOU AS HIS GRANDDAUGH- TER-IN-LAW.

HE HASN'T CHANGED A BIT.

WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?

DON'T YOU WANT TO BE MY GRANDFATHER'S GRAND- DAUGHTER-IN-LAW?

OH, SERIOUSLY...

I'LL TREAT YOU WELL.

YOU MIGHT GET SOME INK ON YOUR HANDS, BUT I SWEAR YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO TOUCH DISHWATER.

I TOLD YOU, THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

THAT ROUTINE IS GETTING OLD. SWITCH IT UP.

WHOA, OLD? DID YOU JUST SAY YOU'RE SICK OF IT?

MAN, TALK ABOUT HURTFUL—
