Chapter 437 – Taeyeon Kim (7)
*
“Are you really okay?”
“Yes. It’s 20,000 hours late, so go back first.”
She waited until the meal was over, and she sent Oh Hye-yeong to take her home.
I know she cares about the Reaper Guild, but I didn’t know she cared about this much.
I’m not yet officially a member of the Four Gods Guild, but I never thought they’d take care of me this much.
Hmm, when I looked around, it seemed to be around the Republic of Korea Academy. There are many shopping districts around the academy, so it must be because this is the biggest downtown area.
I asked for directions to a place with a lot of shops, so this would be the most appropriate.
“Kim Si-woo.”
“Huh?”
“What’s your relationship with the Death Guild?”
Kim Taeyeon, who had been silently following her, opened her mouth. Well, from the standpoint of the third person, the relationship must be questionable.
I don’t know what to say, but I can’t say that I slept in the same bed with the master’s daughter, and I care too much to be one of the recruitment targets.
Would it be correct to say that I just decided to join the guild?
“Well… Actually, it’s because I belong to a guild.”
“Hmm… Is that so?”
“Don’t tell me where to go. Know?”
It is legally illegal to sign a contract before graduation. The punishment isn’t that severe, but it’s better to go quietly.
It’s not uncommon to scout prospects in advance, so Taeyeon Kim nodded as if she understood.
“Well… I got some help, and I’m not that sleazy, so don’t worry.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“I never specifically said I would eat with you, but I will have to reciprocate.”
“Huh? I asked to eat, so I’ll serve it.”
“No. I just want to say thank you. Do you have any favorite food?”
“What. I’m fine with anything. I eat Western, Japanese, and Korean food well.”
“Is it. Then.. There is a restaurant I often go to.”
Are you referring to the tonkatsu restaurant you stopped by before loading?
But I don’t think regular restaurants will be open until this time.
I followed Kim Tae-yeon like that, and as expected, the door was closed. Hmm, unlike that guy who said it was Seojun or something, I tried to eat it very deliciously, but it turned out to be a pity.
“Is it too late after all?”
“How late.”
It was already past midnight, and since it was early morning on a weekday, all the restaurants that looked good seemed to be closed.
Bars were the only ones that opened, and occasionally there were shops that were open 24 hours a day.
‘Because I liked tonkatsu. I’ll be fine there too.’
What I pointed out was a 24-hour gimbap restaurant, in fact, a place with a variety of menus to call it a gimbap restaurant.
Actually, I don’t know the taste of food, but since it’s a place with good value for money, Kim Tae-yeon won’t be satisfied.
Fortunately, I nodded and headed inside, as if I thought it was okay. As soon as I walked in, I felt a sense of kinship seeing them checking the prices on the menu board.
*
After thinking about what to eat, I just ordered the same one Kim Tae-yeon ordered.
There was a set that sold pork cutlet and jjolmyeon together, and they seem to like eating together like this.
‘Should I remember it?’
Well, it’s common food for men too, so it didn’t seem strange to order the same menu.
Compared to the stores Taeyeon Kim usually goes to, the quantity seemed a bit lacking. After all, it would be better to have a place specializing in one thing.
Kim Tae-yeon, who was eating pork cutlet with a sip of ten-kasu broth in the water in which the udon dashi was made, looked at her.
I felt it even then, but I should say that I eat well. Usually, if you put in that much, it looks messy, but Kim Taeyeon didn’t have that.
Watching them eat neatly, I also put the pork cutlet in my mouth.
The taste of fried ordinary frozen pork cutlet, I think I ate it as a gift to myself when I had time in the past.
Should I say it feels like the emotions from the past are reviving because I’m looking at Kim Tae-yeon?
If you eat pork cutlet with seasoning and jjolmyeon with excellent spicy seasoning, it can be said to be a delicacy.
As I was thinking about the old days and eating food, this time Kim Tae-yeon looked at me curiously.
“Why?”
“I was surprised that I ate better than I thought.”
“Okay? What did you think?”
“Honestly, I thought that food like this wouldn’t suit my taste very much.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because I don’t like people around me very much. Nothing to worry about.”
Are you talking about the guy who says Seo Joon or something? A faint smile formed on Kim Tae-yeon’s lips, probably because she ate her favorite food.
Doesn’t he feel proud when the other person likes what he likes? Probably a similar mentality.
I wonder if the way I ate deliciously made me like it, and I could see that the stiff atmosphere was loosening up. Well, I haven’t said a word about the end of it before.
When I ate, I didn’t say a word and ate militantly, to the point where I was mistaken for eating with a man.
In this case, it would be right for me to speak first, as I had a good experience to share.
“Honestly, I was nervous when the commandos came, wondering if something was wrong.”
When I brought up the story from earlier, Kim Taeyeon also nodded. His expression turned grim, probably thinking of that unlucky bully from earlier.
“If I had known it would end like this, I would have slapped myself too.”
“Are you sorry you didn’t hit me?”
“Little.”
“Poof..”
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter, probably because I felt the truth rather than joking.
“Why are you smiling?”
“No. Because you look so serious.”
“Am I serious?”
“Okay?”
“What. Honestly, it would have been complicated without you. Thanks again for your help.”
“I didn’t do anything.”
It’s me, I’m done with a cool slap on the cheek. Jia noona took care of the rest.
Should we say that it was her mother who solved it, not Ji-ah’s sister?
Anyway, maybe it was because the first impression wasn’t bad, I could see Kim Taeyeon’s attitude softening a bit.
There is no significant change in liking, but it’s okay to say that it’s not awkward even if you say hello when you meet.
“Hmm..”
“Why?”
“I have a question.”
“Ask. Is there anything we can’t ask?”
“… “
It’s not really special, but it’s going to be like that soon, so it won’t matter.
His expression was subtle, but it didn’t seem like he cared too much.
“In the Four Gods Guild… Are you usually that comfortable?”
“Convenience? Ah.”
It’s like the fact that she came running as soon as I called, and she’s talking about Oh Hye-young, who acts like a personal assistant.
“Wouldn’t that be for just anyone?”
When I said it with the nuance that it was because I was special, Kim Taeyeon crumpled her expression.
“I feel unlucky.”
“Why. Haven’t you experienced it yourself?”
You lost to me in a friendly match.
The desire to compete seemed strong, so when I mentioned the match at that time, Kim Tae-yeon immediately asked for the bait.
“I may have lost then, but do you think I will now?”
“Why. It hasn’t been long, and I don’t think it’s changed much.”
“You seem to be making a big mistake. At that time, I was embarrassed by the technique I had never seen before, so if I fought again, the result would be different.”
“Is that the same for me?”
“Are you so confident that you only won once?”
“Why. Shall we try one more time?”
“Come on if you want. Because I can fight right now.”
“Well, I wonder if it will be difficult because there are co-op classes right now.”
“Come to think of it, it must be soon.”
“Yes?”
When the story of the cooperative class came up, he seemed to have calmed down a bit, seemed to be thinking about something, then opened his mouth.
“Have you heard anything about the content of the class..?”
“What. Roughly?”
“I heard that all loot obtained from dungeons can be disposed of, but did Daehan Academy say that too?”
“You say so?”
“I see, do you know how the distribution works?”
Well, I roughly expected it, but it seems like there’s a lot of interest in it because it’s a class that can make a profit.
I looked at Taeyeon Kim alluding to the story I had heard from Daehak Minah.
“Do you need money?”
Depending on the person, the story may sound unpleasant, but considering Kim Tae-yeon’s personality, it would be better to speak directly like this.
“Okay.”
As expected, Taeyeon Kim nodded with an expressionless face. I knew it roughly as I watched, but she was careful not to show off.
“Why? Didn’t the Republic of Korea Academy support you quite a bit?”
“That’s true, but all the equipment I use is made-to-order weapons.”
While saying that, Kim Tae-yeon took out the gun she saw before loading. Although she looked around, she didn’t think it was a real gun.
“Seeing all the weapons specially made for me, managing them is also costly.”
“It will be difficult. Then there won’t be many points left?”
“Why are you asking that?”
Did you think I would mock Kim Tae-yeon’s expression that gets sharper in an instant?
I have no intention of doing that.
“No. It just reminds me of the old days.”
“… ?”
“Actually, I entered Daehan Academy as a low-income class.”
“Really?”
“My parents died when I was young. I stayed at a relative’s house, but… Well, I couldn’t get help all the time.”
“Ah..”
Kim Tae-yeon, who was making a sad expression, had a face that somehow felt a sense of sympathy.
Was it a better story than you thought?
“I see… I understand. Because I also lost my parents in an accident.”
“Ah.. Did I say anything?”
“No.. Well, it’s already in the past. That..”
__Geeing… Jiying..
As I tried to continue talking, Kim Tae-yeon’s phone started to ring.
“Hello?”
[ “Hello? Teyeon? How are you? Did things go well?” ]
Checking the voice coming from the phone, is it Kang Seo-joon?
“Okay. It ended without any problems.”
[“Everything…It’s fortunate… I was worried because I knew something big was going to happen. Are you in a dorm now?” ]
“No. I am eating outside.”
[ “Huh..? It looks like you went out. Don’t eat alone, call me too.”
“I’m eating with Siwoo Kim.”
[“… ? Uh? Kim.. Who?” ]
“Kim Si-woo.”
[ “Why..?” ]
Why does the corner of my mouth go up when I hear your trembling voice?
