Chapter 24 The Girl Who Ran Away from Home
Park Jung-hyuk's older brother, who is ten years older than him, runs a spice shop with his wife in a vegetable market in Seoul.
Lee Ho-young drove Park Jung-hyuk to the spice shop in less than 20 minutes.
Unfortunately, the spice shop was already closed, and the couple were out looking for their child!
Left with no other option, Park Jung-hyuk could only call his older brother to confirm the location, and Lee Ho-young then drove him to his older brother's place.
"Thank you, Chairman Lee. I never expected you to personally bring Jeong-hyeok here!"
Park Jung-hyuk's older brother is a tall and muscular middle-aged man, even taller than Lee Ho-young.
Upon learning that Lee Ho-young was the chairman of Park Jung-hyuk's company, he repeatedly bowed in gratitude.
"It's alright, I'm just passing by. Have you found the child?"
"Not yet. That brat, once I find him, I'm going to give him a good beating!"
"Don't rush, search slowly. He doesn't have any money on him, he shouldn't have gone far!"
After appeasing Park Jung-hyuk's family, Lee Ho-young made the following suggestion:
"Let's split up and search. If we still can't find it in an hour, then we'll call the police!"
Li Haorong had already intended to help find the child, so he took the opportunity to say this.
Park's father wanted to refuse, but seeing Lee Ho-young's firm attitude, he said no more.
However, in a city as big as Seoul, finding a child is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Although Li Haorong was driving very slowly, he was inevitably distracted because he had to check his surroundings from time to time.
"Creak..."
Then, as luck would have it, a girl suddenly jaywalked across the road. Belatedly realizing what was happening, Li Haorong slammed on the brakes, but it seemed he was too late.
"what!"
Upon hearing a scream, Li Haorong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got out of the car to check.
The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, still with baby fat, but her features were very delicate, as if they had been sculpted!
She was wearing her school uniform and kneeling in front of the car, lost in thought.
It seems he wasn't injured; he was just frightened!
Are you alright?
"Hey, how do you drive?"
When the girl came to her senses, she was still frightened and yelled angrily at Li Haorong.
The girl's "dragon's roar" was expressed through her cute face, but it had no power to harm her.
On the contrary, Li Haorong looked at the girl in front of him and felt that she looked very familiar.
"Are you Park Jiyeon?"
Soon, he remembered that he had just seen her on his phone.
"Who are you?"
Park Jiyeon was shocked to hear Lee Ho-young call out her name.
"I'm your uncle Park Jung-hyuk's colleague. Look, this is the photo he sent me. We're out looking for..."
Lee Ho-young explained as he showed Park Ji-yeon the photos on his phone.
"Are you coming to find me?"
Before Li Haorong could finish speaking, Park Jiyeon's expression turned even uglier.
"What do you want?" Li Haorong was taken aback.
"Huh? Aren't they going to drag me back because I ran away from home?"
"You ran away from home? Wasn't it your brother?"
Upon hearing this answer, Li Haorong's eyes widened.
"What? My brother ran away from home too?"
Park Jiyeon's eyes widened when she heard Lee Ho-young's answer.
The two of them squatted in the middle of the road, staring at each other with wide eyes, until a horn behind them sounded, startling them awake.
Shortly after, Lee Ho-young came out of the convenience store with two ice cream cones in his hand. He handed one to Park Ji-yeon and then got into the driver's seat.
Park Jiyeon, who was originally looking around at the luxury cars, was eventually attracted by the ice cream cone and stuck out her small tongue to lick it carefully.
When Park Jiyeon learned that Lee Ho-young was not going to arrest her, her first reaction was to run away, but how could Lee Ho-young let her go?
If one isn't found, and another is lost, how am I going to explain this to her parents?
Looking at Park Jiyeon now, who is attracted by the ice cream cone, it seems that she has been kept in check.
At this moment, Li Haorong finally took a closer look at the girl in front of him. She was tall, lively and cute, but why did she seem to exude a kind of foolishness?
"Tell me, why did you run away from home this time?"
"I want to participate in a modeling competition, but they won't allow it!"
"How old are you? Wait until you're older before you go!"
"I'm 12 years old, not a child anymore!"
Park Jiyeon seemed unable to bear hearing this and immediately retorted.
"Okay, okay, so why do you want to be a model?"
"Actually, I don't want to be a model; what I really want to be is an actress!"
"...So why did you want to become an actor?"
"I want to be a star! I want to make a lot of money! Dad has bad teeth, Mom has a bad back, I want to get them medical treatment so they don't have to work so hard running the shop!"
Hearing Park Jiyeon's explanation, Lee Ho-young felt a warmth in his heart; she was indeed a very filial girl.
However, she then changed the subject:
"Besides, with my looks, wouldn't it be a waste not to be a star?"
"Pfft, hahaha..."
Hearing Park Jiyeon's serious answer, Lee Ho-young couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Are you mocking my dream?"
"No, no, this is the first time I've ever heard someone compliment their own beauty!"
"Am I not pretty?"
"Uh...so cute!"
Lee Ho-young smiled as he looked at Park Ji-yeon with her big, watery eyes.
"Wow, it's...wow...big (beautiful)!"
"Good, good, good! Big one! Big one!"
Why would Li Haorong bother with this arrogant little girl?
"Hmph, that's not sincere at all, but I'll forgive you for the sake of the ice cream cone!"
Then, Park Jiyeon happily licked the ice cream cone in her hand.
Upon seeing this, Li Haorong couldn't help but shake his head.
Park Jung-hyuk is such a smart person, yet his niece is an idiot!
After finishing their ice cream cones, Lee Ho-young drove Park Ji-yeon back to the dessert shop.
Park Jiyeon's half-hour runaway attempt was interrupted by Lee Ho-young and ended in vain.
"Do you know how worried your family was when you ran away from home?"
"Alright, alright, big brother, calm down. Hyojun, apologize to your dad right now!"
Lee Ho-young had just returned with Park Ji-yeon when he saw his father beating his son.
"No way! You're limiting my future!"
"Your future? I'll make sure you never have a future!"
As he spoke, Park's father picked up the scales again, ready to continue hitting, but fortunately Park Jung-hyuk stopped him.
Seeing this, Li Haorong couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
"No wonder they were born of the same parents; the siblings' genes are exactly the same!"
"President, you...wait, what are you doing with Jiyeon?"
Park Jung-hyuk was somewhat surprised to see Park Ji-yeon accompanying Lee Ho-young.
At this moment, Park Jiyeon was terrified. Seeing her runaway brother being caught and beaten, she felt that she would not escape the same fate.
"I ran into Jiyeon on the street who was looking for her brother, so I took her with me. Then you guys found Hyojoon, so I brought her back!"
Upon hearing Lee Ho-young's explanation, Park Ji-yeon looked at him in surprise, meeting his gaze.
Lee Ho-young winked at her, and Park Ji-yeon understood immediately.
"Honestly, look at you, you ran away from home, and your sister has to help you look for you. You're not even as sensible as your sister!"
Park's father was furious again and prepared to continue hitting him.
"Alright, bro, our guild leader is still here!"
Because there were outsiders present, Park's father did regain a lot of his composure.
"Alright, now that we've found the person, I'll be going now. Jung-hyuk, you don't need to go to work today. Get things settled at home, and come back tomorrow!"
"Thank you, President!"
Park Jung-hyuk was moved to tears.
"Oppa, are you the president?"
At this moment, Park Jiyeon opened her mouth wide and looked at Lee Ho-young, who was clearly younger than her uncle, in surprise.
Goodbye, little Jiyeon!
Before leaving, Lee Ho-young waved to Park Ji-yeon.
