Chapter 155 – Chapter 155
Eun-ah looked at Do-gyun, who was eating, with a very satisfied face.
“Oh, it’s delicious… ?”
“Well? Yes, Eun-ah’s food is always delicious.”
“Lol…”
I bowed my head in response to the answer he handed over with a smile.
Feelings seemed to rise to the sky.
As always, just being together makes me happy enough, but today, Mr. Bee saw the mop and said that I was so satisfied that I was so happy.
‘Everything, next time I smile, I don’t think I will be able to meet you… !”
It was cool. The friendly bee was cool, but the bee with a hard expression and talking coldly like that was also really cool.
Eun-ah felt her face heat up from her smile.
She was laughing like that for a long time.
“Oh, no, that’s right…”
“Yeah?”
Do-gyun tilted his head at Eun-ah’s voice.
“Come on, honey bee. Uh, my sister asked me to clear time the day after tomorrow…”
“Are you Eunseol?”
“Yes…”
To Eun-ah’s words, Do-gyun nodded his head slightly, revealing an affirmation.
“Yeah what… It’s the weekend, so I don’t have anything to do.”
Why is that?
It wasn’t often that Eun-seol asked for time aside, so Do-gyun’s curiosity rose.
Let me try to guess the reason for a moment.
‘… Well, you’ll understand when you go there.’
Do-gyun, unable to find any plausible clues, picked up a spoon again and continued eating.
Well, that’s what I think about every time.
‘As expected, she’s a good cook.’
Eun-ah was the best at cooking.

Two days later, Do-gyun narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth at the sight of Eun-seol drinking from the wind in the morning.
“Aren’t you tired?”
“I can’t get enough of it.”
The answer comes back calmly. Do-gyun, who made a tired expression, sighed deeply and sat down next to Eun-seol.
“So, what did you call today?”
“Let’s get some fresh air.”
“Yes?”
Eun-seol’s head tilted toward Do-gyun.
“Get ready because you’re going out.”
The words came out without context, but as always, Do-gyun answered with a nod.
*
The place I went out with Eun-seol was a cafe in a corner of downtown where Eun-seol’s department store was located.
Quiet atmosphere overall. Even Do-gyun, who has been to the city center countless times to help Eun-ah commute, is the first cafe to visit.
There, Do-gyun slightly pursed his lips as he watched Eun-seol sitting across from him and sipping a sip of coffee.
“I am surprised.”
“What.”
“You’re here to drink coffee, not alcohol.”
“Sick. Where is the bar open at this hour?”
Oh, was that the problem?
Do-gyun quickly came to his understanding and sipped his portion of coffee with a slightly embarrassed face.
Hororok-.
There was a sound as the coffee went up the straw.
Do-gyun continued to be silent for a while, feeling that the cold energy passing down his throat was awakening him.
Most of the time with Eun-seol was like this. Wherever you go, whether you are at home. Sitting in the same space, doing what you have to do while remaining silent with each other.
It was an atmosphere that could be approached with enough awkwardness or discomfort, but strangely, when I am with Eun-seol, the feeling of comfort comes to mind rather than those feelings.
Maybe it’s because we’re so used to each other.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-seol, recalling her new impression that he had known her for over half a year.
The back of the hair, tied up in one, falls neatly. He doesn’t like his petite figure, so he wears a suit with sleeves on the outside. Behind the half horn-rimmed glasses he was wearing, he could see deep sunken eyes.
In the past, the very eyes that I thought the look of impoverishment was buried.
At some point, the eyes that made me think that I was addicted to alcohol.
While Do-gyun was looking into those eyes, the pupil in the middle moved and turned towards him.
“What.”
“… No, I just saw it.”
Do-gyun trembled at the words being handed over and replied.
“Sick.”
“No, why are you cursing again…”
What do you say about staring at me? When Do-gyun, who became angry for no reason, continued to grumble, a sigh escaped from Eun-seol’s mouth after watching him for a while.
“Well, okay. I didn’t come here to talk about this.”
What followed were words in a slightly annoyed tone.
“Things got a little annoying.”
“Yeah?”
“Two days ago, Eun-ah met your ex-girlfriend.”
Words handed over. Do-gyun tilted his head at him.
“Why is that? Any problem?”
“There is. A little too much.”
After saying that, Eun-seol took a sip of coffee and continued with a frown.
“The company your ex-girlfriend works for is a bit of a problem.”
The company Jiu works for.
“Are you Hanseong?”
“Yes, there.”
“Why is that a problem?”
It was a natural question for Do-gyun. Apparently, the company is run by Eun-seol’s department store VIP. To Do-kyun, it is a conglomerate that he considers to be the best in the industry he works for.
Why is that company having problems with Eun-ah? While Do-gyun tilted his head at that question.
“Chairman over there. Eun-ah’s grandfather.”
A shocking answer came from Eun-seol.
Jureureuk-.
Coffee spilled from Do-gyun’s mouth.
Eun-seol frowned at Do-gyun dripping coffee into his mouth and handed him a tissue.
“You dirty bastard. What are you doing spilling it?”
“No, wait a minute. That’s not what’s important.”
Do-gyun felt that he was losing his mind, widened his eyes and looked at Eun-seol.
“… Really?”
“Then would that be a lie?”
“Her.”
Do you know That when people are really embarrassed, nothing but laughter comes out of their mouths.
Do-gyun was speechless at the sudden shock declaration.
Eun-seol clicked her tongue at the sight, stood up, and wiped Do-gyun’s mouth with a tissue.
“Yes, I wouldn’t know if my ex-girlfriend was just an employee, but, of course, the managing director… So, since I’m in the direct line of the person who becomes Eun-ah’s uncle, we’ll talk about it.”
Ji-woo? That he was such a great person?
While Do-gyun was frowning at her because he didn’t match the girl he knew, Eun-seol, who wiped the coffee from Do-gyun’s mouth before he knew it, went back to his seat.
“That person has a lot of interest in Eun-ah. He feels guilty towards Eun-ah. He memorizes Eun-ah’s face because his direct line knows all about it.”
Eun-seol tossed the tissue onto the table, then sighed and continued.
“I didn’t want to get involved in any way, but now that I have an excuse like this, that person will approach me. It came out because of that.”
“Do you know Eun-ah?”
“You understand?”
A ‘Keuk’ sound came out of Do-gyun’s mouth.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to tell you?”
“Not good. Go Eun-ah, that clumsy bitch is no match for that human.”
A sigh escaped from Eun-seol’s mouth.
“He is a person who has been defeated by politics. He is a person who takes care of his own interests somehow.”
The words that followed were full of annoyance. Seeing Eun-seol frown on her face and speak her words, Do-gyun was able to realize that Eun-seol really hated her uncle.
“… Didn’t she feel guilty towards Eun-ah?”
“That makes it even worse.”
Eun-seol said that, sipping a cup of coffee, and then spat out her words.
“The guilt I have with Eun-ah is the guilt of neglecting Eun-ah while looking after the president after Seo Han-kyung committed suicide.”
Food. A sneer formed on Eun-seol’s lips.
“Isn’t it funny? I neglected that young kid to take care of myself, but now that I’m a bit fatter, I’m snooping around.”
“Ah…”
“I am not a person to be trusted and relied upon. He is a person who pretends to be good and has a personality, but will take care of his own interests at the crucial moment. He is a person who could be harmful to Eun-ah if he gets involved.”
It was a long talk.
Do-gyun could clearly feel Eun-seol’s hatred for Eun-ah’s uncle in the words that followed.
“That’s why I called you. Even if he looks like an idiot, at least he had a place to trust him more than that person.”
Eyes collided. Do-gyun’s fingertips trembled accordingly.
It was so unexpected that it was difficult to come up with an answer.
As Eun-seol said, the situation was very nasty.
“… What can I do?”
“I will approach you too. As much as possible, don’t give that person any information about Eun-ah.”
“Is that enough?”
“I plan to deal with it on my own first. So, while I’m gone, you’ll have to block that person from approaching Eun-ah.”
Do-gyun’s head nodded slightly at the words handed to him.
“I will try my best.”
“Whoa… I had to meet a bitch like that.”
The words he murmured while sighing deeply were reprimanding Do-gyun for why he met Ji-woo.
Do-gyun flinched at him, then made a sullen expression on top of his serious expression until just before, and shed a secret.
“… No, but after all, isn’t it fine if Eunseol didn’t make a fuss?”
It was unfair.
Honestly, wasn’t it because of Eun-seol’s fuss with his notebook that things got so twisted?
If I hadn’t made a fuss over the appearance of my ex-girlfriend, wouldn’t Eun-ah and Ji-woo have never met?
When I tried to glar at Eun-seol with that thought in mind, Eun-seol flinched and trembled, avoiding Do-gyun’s gaze.
“… Is that important?”
“Then it doesn’t matter?”
A mischievous laugh escaped Dokyun’s mouth.
Eun-seol’s gaze fell even lower.
Eun-seol had nothing to say. Honestly, that was right.
However, there were downsides nonetheless. Isn’t that normal? No matter what story in the world you look at, the moment your lover’s ex-girlfriend comes out, the story advances into an affair.
A blood-curdling fight and, at the end, exhaustion and catastrophe.
As Eun-ah’s guardian, it’s natural to be worried about that.
… That’s what Eunseol thought, but only Eunseol didn’t know that the reason why such an idea came to her was because Eunseol read only that type of book.
“… Anyway.”
So the method Eun-seol chose was to run away. It takes the story in a different direction.
“I called to tell you to be careful.”
“Are you going to leave like that?”
Of course, the tenacious and narrow-minded Do-gyun never lost sight of his weakness.
If you hold a grudge once, you will keep it for the rest of your life.
Do-gyun clearly remembered Eun-ah’s resentful gaze that had bothered him for a while.
How frustrated were you?
I know something is offended, but I have no idea why. How hard it must have been because of Eun-ah, who seemed to be ‘exciting’ even when he spoke to her, and other personalities who were scratching at her insides.
Do-gyun continued to speak while glaring at Eun-seol, putting the pains of his past inside him again.
“Please apologize. It was really hard for me.”
Eun-seol’s body trembled again.
“… Little pup.”
“Apple.”
Kwok-. Eun-seol’s lips were tightly shut.
As if her pride was somehow hurt and as if she was ashamed, Eun-seol, who was avoiding Do-kyun’s gaze while making his face slightly red, spat out an answer after some time had passed since then.
“… Do.”
“Yeah?”
“… Say no.”
A smile tugged at the corner of Dougwan’s mouth.
The moment when the position was overturned with the opponent who was always above him was pleasant for Lee Da-ji.
“Can’t you hear me well?”
Do-gyun deliberately made a sarcastic tone and put his hand next to his ear, leaning his upper body forward and continued.
“Could you say it again?”
Eun-seol’s fists clenched tightly.
Eun-seol made his face turn red and gnashed his teeth as he spat out the words again.
“Sorry… Do!”
Words that came out like a squeeze.
At that, a big smile appeared on Do-gyun’s lips.
