The Tiger’s Baby Peach

Junghyun visited Jeo Capital at his mother’s desperate request without knowing the reason.

“Excuse me, are you CEO Ji Seunghyeok?”

He had come looking for him impulsively, holding an envelope and business card his parents had given him.

The man in a perfectly fitted suit with a friendly smile had unusually sharp eyes, as if a tiger’s eyes had been placed directly into a human.

“This is troublesome. I don’t usually accept living collateral.”

A low voice that pierced right through the eardrum.

“Do you know why you came here?”

Junghyun belatedly realized he had been sent to the man as a substitute for the hundreds of millions of debt his parents had incurred.

He was willing to take a risk if it meant repaying his parents who had raised him until now.

“The principal alone is 2.3 billion won.”

At least until he heard the amount was larger than expected.

As Junghyun was flustered and at a loss about how to handle such an amount that was impossible to manage alone…

“Twenty-year-old Jo Junghyun-ssi.”

“…Y-yes?”

“What will you do for me if I keep you? Is there anything you can do for me?”

His unexpected question.

Their relationship, which began as a debtor-creditor relationship, gradually deepened in an unknown direction…

“Junghyun-ssi is really someone who only sees the good sides.”

Jo Junghyun wondered if this situation was like insulting someone to their face.

Of course, what Ji Seunghyeok said was praise in itself, but he couldn’t quite understand why such words suddenly came out.

“It’s a good talent.”

“…Is it?”

“Yes.”

Ji Seunghyeok’s long, rough fingers tapped on the table.

“It might be different for everyone, but at least I really like it.”

Not just like, but really like.
