Chapitre 24: How Is Lee Whan?

Lee Yong felt so stupid and useless as he realised he had no idea what demisexual actually meant.

Lee In-Su took deep breaths, trying to calm himself and gather the thought to explain. But it was hard, and he decided to be honest about how it was for him when he read about it. "It is… I don't know how to explain it. You can read about it. When I read about it, the more I read, the more I got confused. But reading about it is better. If not, ask your little brother. He can tell you. He can actually tell you better!"

Lee In-Su rambled on as he became nervous about explaining his second son's sexuality to his first son.

"He won't speak to me." Lee Yong looked away, forcing down the cry threatening to break any moment.

Lee In-Su was a businessman and opportunist. So he made use of what his son said without a second thought. "Maybe it's time you behave like an elder brother and fix the issues between you two. I won't interfere in that. I have to search for my son now."

Lee Yong neither agreed nor disagreed. He chose to understand his brother and then speak to his mother before approaching his brother. He was determined to fix everything soon.

"Dad… please tell me when you find him. I would go out and look for him myself, but the situation… it will ruin all the effort little Whan did for me so far." Lee Yong, for the first, considered his brother's hard work.

Lee In-Su smiled even though he was worried. "Do not worry! He will be fine. His friends always got his back. The problem will be them trusting me enough to say where he is?!"

Lee In-Su knew his son's friends were protective of him and would make him suffer before letting him see his son. Still, a part of his warmed softly to know his son had protective people who treated him like family when the family failed.

"Maybe I can speak to them. Why don't you share their contact if you think they won't respond to you?" Lee Yong felt hopeful about knowing his brother's whereabouts early.

"They hate you enough to kill you. You are lucky your brother always hid your identity. If you ever come across your brother's friends, run away! Trust me on this! Never reveal that you are Lee Whan's brother." Lee In-Su warned his son seriously.

The CEO's office assistant opened the door and entered the room to relay the most crucial information. She did not even knock on the door, knowing very well the importance of the person demanding to speak to their chairman Lee In-Su. "Sir… Young Master Wang is on call… Shall I connect it?"

"Which young master?" Lee In-Su asked, holding his breath and praying to his ancestors to show mercy and pity on him.

"Third young master!" The office assistant spoke softly.

Lee In-Su was relieved a little bit to know it was the third young master. It would never work if it were the fourth master of the Wang family, no matter how he tried to appease.

Even if the ancestor were raised from the grave and begged for forgiveness on their knees, the fourth young master would walk away as if it did not matter. In contrast, the third young master could be considered a little laid-back young man who was nothing but a gentleman.

Lee In-Su told the assistant to connect the call and spoke to his son, intending to terminate the call. "Your brother is safe. His best friend is probably calling me to say stay away from Lee Whan."

"Dad… please let me listen to the conversation. I want to know if he is fine. I want to hear it myself." Lee Yong wanted to know about his brother's well-being, and he felt his father might hide some truth if he relayed the information later.

As much as Lee In-Su wanted to refuse his son, the landline rang, and he knew he had less time. "Okay!"

Lee In-Su placed his mobile down and turned on the loudspeaker mode on the landline before he accepted the call.

"Third young master! How have you been?" Lee In-Su spoke politely to the boy he saw growing up.

"Quit acting like you don't know why I called you uncle Lee." The third young master's voice was icy as if he was one step away from making his father cut all ties with his best friend, Lee In-Su.

"How is Lee Whan? Is he with you?" Lee In-Su questioned as if he was entitled to know it right away.

"I am in Sweden. Came here for business. Shouldn't you know where your son is or why he is no longer where he should be?" The lazy question of the third young master felt like a slap on the face of the father, who knew nothing about his son's whereabouts.
