Chapter 136 – Chapter 136
Do-kyun opened his mouth small and spat out a question while watching Harim, who was constantly blowing cigarette smoke.
“How was Eun-seol then?”
“Yes?”
Harim’s gaze, staring at the scattering smoke, turned to Do-gyun.
Harim thought about Do-gyun’s question with a ‘hmm’, then continued with a giggle.
“Was it brutal?”
Bloody
Harim said that and chose his words for a while, then added an explanation.
“I’m glaring at someone with an expression that will kill anyone right away… Wow, I wanted to see what kind of kid was so bloody, but the way he put the money in the bag was strangely uneasy, so my eyes went to him.”
Do-gyun tilted his head at those words, but soon remembered Eun-seol’s situation at that time and came to a small understanding.
Maybe it was a harder time than now.
Like most of her people, she must have had periods of immaturity.
There must have been a time when she was more familiar with failure than success, and there must have been a time when she stumbled even after running for a long time.
In addition, Eun-seol had no one to help her when she fell.
Through Harim’s words, Do-gyun was able to roughly guess what kind of situation Eun-seol was in at that time.
Harim looked at Do-gyun’s complexion, which gradually darkened, and soon recalled a grin and continued to speak playfully.
“Ah, the face was a bit too big. Honestly, does the boss look pretty? I thought that there are people like that in the world…”
Seeing him giggling while saying that, Do-kyun narrowed his eyes and let out a laugh.
“Well, it was just like that. After that, I built a department store, and no matter how well it rolls…”
Long words.
Do-gyun nodded his head at him, recalled his understanding, and laughed at the joke he handed over once in a while, listening to Harim’s words.
While talking for a long time, Harim made an ‘ah’ sound and she added her words with a somewhat mischievous look on her face.
“Something funny happened.”
“Is it funny?”
“The day the boss first drank.”
Eun-seol’s first drink.
Do-gyun’s eyes twinkled at him.
Isn’t it? Eun-seol, the alcohol ghost, probably didn’t drink as strong as he does now when he first drank. Of course, there would have been a lot of ugliness.
When Do-gyun looked at Harim with sparkling eyes at the topic that came up, Harim shook his shoulders and smiled, then spit out his words.
“That was five years ago…”
It was five years ago, when Eun-seol was 18 years old.
Recalling him, Do-kyun smiled and agreed with Harim’s words.
“It was a lamb.”
“Right, a high school student made a fuss about buying something to drink, so I bought it… Because it was really funny.”
“How was it?”
“What, is that so? It was like a kid drinking for the first time. He didn’t even know how much he drank, and he staggered from drinking, then broke several glasses and ate.”
A smile crept across Harry’s lips.
“I still remember the lines the drunken president said then.”
“Ambassador?”
When Do-gyun tilted his head, Harim stared into Do-gyun’s eyes for a moment, then made the appearance of holding a glass with his hand.
Right after that, when Do-gyun’s gaze turned to him, Harim continued to speak solemnly with an expression and tone that seemed to imitate Eun-seol at first glance.
“After… You know what? Even if people betray me, alcohol will not betray me.”
Words that speak louder and louder.
To him
“Pooh!”
A laugh escaped Dokyun’s mouth.
“Puhahahaha!!!”
“Hey, my boss. Who would have known that the second grade disease would have gotten better by the time I was 18?”
Words that shake shoulders and hand over.
Right after, Harim continued her words with a lower tone this time, hardening her expression.
“Don’t let me down. I’m not that generous.”
Her hand was like stirring a glass.
“Kkeuhhahahaha!!!”
Do-gyun’s body shuddered at the words he heard.
Oh, I imagined it.
That gesture was strangely similar to Eunseol’s usual gesture, so I started imagining the scene in my head.
“No, did you really?”
“So you think I might have lied?”
The answer given with a giggle.
While Do-gyun laughed at him for a long time, he recalled a pleasant feeling at the thought that he had something to eat by teasing Eun-seol.
I’m already looking forward to seeing what the reaction will be.
“Oh, and again…”
Do-gyun’s eyes turned to Harim again.
Seeing him giggling as if he was excited, he momentarily thought, ‘But can I reveal everything like that?’, But Do-gyun tried hard to ignore him.
‘I’ll take care of it.’
Whatever it is, is it not someone else?
*
While the conversation continued for a while, Eun-seol called.
Do-gyun entered the office and looked at Eun-seol, who was sipping coffee.
“Have you finished your work?”
“Roughly.”
After saying that, Eun-seol put down his glass and looked at Do-gyun.
Let Do-gyun tilt his head at him.
“Looking at it again, it’s ugly.”
Those words came back.
Flinch.
Do-gyun’s body trembled.
“… What else are you doing?”
Words that I muttered for no reason.
Is there anything else you can do to pick it up? Do-gyun, who was grumbling with her savage heart, looked at her after belatedly realizing that Ya Ha-rim hadn’t mentioned her face.
Harim took her gaze towards me, and she continued with a giggle.
“Why, it’s not like I can’t see you?”
If I was moved by the words I heard, would it be too exaggerated?
In the past few days, Do-gyun, who had been upset by his face that had turned into a laughingstock, spit out words of gratitude while frowning at the feeling of his heart beating.
“… Thank you.”
“Ah, what did you tell the truth?”
A thumbs up answer.
While there was a warm atmosphere for a while, Eun-seol, who was sitting on the sofa watching him, spat out the words with a frown on his face.
“Stop talking nonsense and sit down.”
Do-kyun’s eyes narrowed at the words he heard.
‘As he started…’
Is this what I call my husband?
Do-gyun was glaring at Eun-seol because he hated his disapproving expression.
“What.”
I went back to my seat with a sigh at Eun-seol’s stare, which returned my gaze with harsh words.
“No…”
Geun-tae’s trauma was brushed off, but those eyes were still frightening.
Immediately after, Eun-seol, who was sitting at the head of the office, looked at Do-kyun and Har-rim, who were sitting on either side of me, and spat out a question.
“Okay, have you two talked?”
When Eun-seol asked if they had gotten closer, Do-gyun remembered Eun-seol’s rudeness he had heard before.
It’s Eun-seol, the 2nd year of high school, who is not getting better from his 2nd grade in middle school… Isn’t this a bit precious?
When Do-gyun remembered him, a sound of laughter came out of Do-gyun’s mouth, and when Eun-seol tilted his head at the sight, Do-gyun managed to hold back his laughter and nodded.
“Yeah, he was a fun person.”
“Ah, what else…”
Another gongchisa.
At that, Eun-seol ‘tsk’ once again, clicked his tongue, and then spat out his words.
“Yeah, it seems like we’ve become close friends, so that’s okay. Why did you introduce me…”
“You mean to introduce me to Eun-ah?”
“Hit.”
Do-gyun looked at Eun-seol nodding his head, then cast his gaze at Harim.
Harim scratched the back of her head as if embarrassed by the two gazes directed at me, then spat out words in a playful tone.
“Hey, I’m a little nervous because it’s the first time I’ve seen the main body president. You’re not just killing people, are you?”
Pop.
Do-gyun’s hand, which was heading for the teacup, stopped.
Was that a joke? Do-kyun glanced at Eun-seol, then realized that Eun-seol didn’t react differently, and let out a small breath and spat out an answer.
“… Would you like to kill me?”
“Eh?”
Harim’s head tilted.
Seeing Harim looking back and forth between himself and Eunseol with a blank face, Dokyun thought to himself, ‘Isn’t that person ignorant?’, Then shook his head and brushed off his thoughts.
Whatever it is, if you stay still, half of it will go, didn’t you?
It was good for my mental health not to care whether that person had an accident or not.
In the midst of such thoughts, Eun-seol, who was quietly sipping coffee, sighed.
“I still have some work left, so I will be there until tomorrow. If Eun-ah Go comes out the day after tomorrow, bring her here.”
“Ah yes.”
Suddenly, a thought passed through Do-gyun’s head as he nodded.
The gaze turns to Harim.
‘But can Eun-ah talk to that person?’
In a way, it was a natural concern.
Extreme hikikomori and end-of-person phobia. Eun-ah is startled by the mere passing of a person nearby.
Wouldn’t it be compatible with a person who doesn’t seem to know even the slightest bit of shyness?
After thinking for a while, Do-gyun’s eyes moved back and forth between Eun-seol and Harim.
“He’s quick-witted, so I won’t get on his nerves for nothing.”
“Oh, he said he’s giving me something like that.”
Do-gyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Harim, who was scratching the back of his head.
‘That one?’
Where are you looking?
His doubts welled up, but he did not speak at length.
It’s Eun-seol’s judgment, so it’s not quite right.
“… Well, I’ll get it right away.”
Do-gyun nodded his head slightly and uttered words of understanding.
After all, he didn’t even think deeply about it. If he did something against Eun-ah’s heart, he just had to restrain himself.
Immediately after, there was a short silence, and Eun-seol, who had finished drinking coffee before he knew it, stood up and opened his mouth.
“Once you know that, go eat. I finished everything I had to do today.”
“Oh, shall we call you as we always do?”
These were Harim’s words that followed Eunseol.
Watching Eun-seol nod at Harim’s words, Do-gyun recalled, ‘Aren’t those two having a conversation like a boss and a subordinate for the first time today?’ And got up along with Eun-seol.
While Eun-seol was putting on her coat, she saw Do-gyun, who had left the coat off until the day before, and her lips moved slightly.
“Take your coat. I have to walk a bit.”
“Ah yes.”
Are you eating outside?
Do-gyun nodded his head as he remembered his thoughts.
‘Well, since it’s a downtown area, there must be plenty of places to eat.’
Isn’t it the downtown area of the most thirsty neighborhood in Seoul? There were all kinds of restaurants just a short walk away, so he didn’t have to settle here.
Suddenly, Do-kyun thought of going to a department store or a food court instead of thinking of going to the food court.
Harim went to a corner of her office and was on her phone.
Do-gyun left Harim and followed Eun-seol as he left the office.
“… Even if people betray you.”
Startle.
Eun-seol’s steps stopped.
A small trembling body.
Do-gyun’s gaze quickly caught him.
I knew at once. I didn’t even say it properly, but I’m so startled with that one sentence? It was obvious.
At that time, that moment is the biggest dark history of life that Eun-seol herself remembers.
Realizing that fact, a mean smile appeared on Do-gyun’s lips.
The humiliation of the day passes through my mind.
-You’re fucking ugly.
-Sorry. If you lie, thorns grow in your mouth.
-Looking at it again, it’s ugly.
How… , How humiliated it was at that moment.
Selling from the moment I opened my eyes until now. Do-kyun, whose heart was full of tears, smiled at Eun-seol, who was looking at him with trembling eyes, and spit out the following words.
“… I don’t give up on alcohol…”
“Shut up.”
“… Disappoint me…”
“Shut up.”
“Generosity…”
“Hey.”
Growl voice.
Do-gyun, who was so excited and enjoying Eun-seol’s reaction, trembled. Her gaze examined Eun-seol’s expression.
Red-hot earlobes. A bloody neck. Eyes glaring at me with wide open eyes.
If it was another moment, I would have been scared… , I know that’s a reaction out of shame, so it feels ridiculous for some reason.
Do-gyun trembled, holding back the laughter that was about to burst out on his face.
“Well, I just thought of something like that…”
Sigh sigh.
As he moved the corner of his mouth and glanced at Eun-seol, Eun-seol, who had been glaring at Do-gyun with a red face as if he was about to burst, turned his gaze toward the door of the office.
“… Wait a minute.”
Again and again.
The sound of heels echoes through the hallway.
After saying that, Eun-seol went into the office.
Thud.
The sound of the door closing is heard, followed by the sound of talking from inside.
-Uh? The boss didn’t go… Evil!
-Now, let’s go to sleep… Aww!!! Bones, bones!! Boss, that bone was right! Aww!
A constant thumping sound.
Do-gyun, who was trembling at this, turned his gaze toward the floor and turned away from the office door.
The guilt that was rising little by little was quickly shaken off.
‘… This is karma.’
Do-gyun has yet to forget his grudge at the party supply store.
