Seung-Min: fidgets with tie S-so, um, d-do you l-like it here?
You mean as a high school student or in general?
W-w-what's the p-p-point of all this? Why are you people treating me like a t-t-teenager?
Because we are under the impression that you are a teenager
H-h-heh, you think I'm just some c-c-creepy 40-year-old guy who married into a k-k-chaebol family? W-w-well, l-l-let me tell you...
Why did you marry into a chaebol family
W-w-well, it's not what you think. I-i-i had no idea that I was actually married to a teenager until recently. And honestly, it was a huge shock to me.
Yeah, I heard about your wife running off with her lover.
Y-y-you heard about that?
Oh yeah, it made all the news outlets
W-w-what the hell?! How did they find out about my true identity? It's like my cover was blown before I even had a chance to start living as a high school student!
Did you enjoy your time in Japan?
Y-y-you want to know what I like doing for fun? B-b-baduk and hiking! N-n-nothing like s-s-strategy games or getting l-l-lost in nature...
So which part of Japan did you stay in? I spent two years near Tokyo and it was nice
A-ah, I was mostly in Seoul. It's a bustling city with so much to see and do. And you know what else I love doing there? Karaoke!
B-b-but you know what's even better than karaoke? Karaoke while drinking soju! S-s-so many good songs to sing along to, and it's such a fun way to let loose and enjoy life.
T-t-thank you! I'm glad someone appreciates my love for soju karaoke. But you know what's even more fun? Soju karaoke parties with all my friends!
Do you have any siblings?
Y-y-yes, actually. I have two younger sisters, and they're both very different from each other. One is super responsible and studious, while the other is kind of carefree and reckless.
If you don’t mind me asking, why aren’t they living with you?
W-w-well, my s-s-sisters are both adults now, and they decided that they wanted to live on their own. They both have their own apartments and are doing just fine without me.
Does your son know about you?
H-h-heh, well... y-y-you see, my son's father ran off when he was young, and he grew up without knowing who his real dad was. M-m-my wife hid the truth from him until she passed away.
Is that why you married a teenager then?
L-l-let's just say that my marriage to a teenager didn't exactly go smoothly. It was a mistake, and it ended up hurting a lot of people.
W-w-well, you see... I had been pretending to be a teenager for so long that I started to forget that I was actually an adult.
Is that why you tried to seduce a teenager at your wife’s funeral?
H-h-heh, well... y-y-you see, when my wife passed away, I was so lost and confused. I didn't know what to do with myself anymore.
What happened after your attempt?
W-w-well, I got caught, of course! My son saw everything, and he was furious. He confronted me right there in front of everyone, and it caused quite a scene.
Who wouldn’t be mad finding their dad hitting on a teenager
Y-y-you can't blame me for wanting to reconnect with my son. I had missed him terribly during all those years when he was growing up.
Yeah, but your timing could have been better
H-h-heh, y-y-you're right, I guess. Looking back, I can see that I should have waited until things were less... emotional.
Did you lose your job because of this?
Y-y-yes, unfortunately, I lost my job as a businessman because of my actions. But hey, maybe it was for the best.
