Chapter 135 – Chapter 135
“You look so fucking ugly.”
It was Eun-seol’s first line in a long time.
As soon as Do-gyun saw his face, he felt like he was stabbed once again by Eun-seol saying that.
“… You don’t even have to say that, do you?”
“Sorry. If you lie, thorns grow in your mouth.”
“Grunt…”
I was upset, but I admitted it.
The swelling had almost subsided and only blue bruises remained, but it was funny because the skin around the eyes was uniquely different.
Do-gyun sighed deeply and went to the kitchen to make coffee.
Eun-seol stared blankly at Do-gyun, who was brewing coffee, and opened his mouth to speak.
“Get ready because you’re going out today.”
“Suddenly?”
Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-seol. When Eun-seol met Do-gyun’s eyes, he sighed and smiled, then spoke again.
“I have to go to work. I have someone I can introduce you to.”
Work. Introduction.
Do-gyun tilted his head at the words that were conveyed.
It is because the intention of the words was not understood.
I knew that Eun-seol was running the company.
That’s true, he spent almost all of his time looking at documents, except for the time he was reading or drinking, so he couldn’t have known it.
How the company was run in such a state was still a question, but Do-kyun recalled the memory of convincing himself, thinking that Eun-seol would do well, and asked the question again.
“What kind of introduction is this all of a sudden?”
“Even Go Eun-ah must have come to her senses. Slowly, I have to take over the work I do. What I introduce today is a person who can help with that.”
“Ah.”
Do-gyun’s fingertips flinched at Eun-seol’s words.
A fact I hadn’t thought of.
The company that Eun-seol runs means that it is the company that Eun-a must run someday.
Isn’t it? If it wasn’t for the sudden abandonment of that company, Eun-ah would be the only one who would take charge of the company after Eun-seol disappeared, but considering him, it was right to take over the takeover right now, as Eun-seol said.
No matter how much memories are fused, isn’t there some advice that Eun-seol can give as Eun-seol?
When Eun-seol introduces that person to her, it must mean she wants him to meet Eun-ah.
An accident quickly followed, and the understanding was over… Even so, the reason I didn’t feel comfortable was because we realized together what Eun-seol’s words meant.
Eun-seol was preparing to disappear now.
When Do-gyun looked at Eun-seol with a slightly blurred expression, Eun-seol caught his gaze and then spit out his words with a smile.
“I do it in advance because I don’t know what will happen. I have no intention of disappearing right now.”
“Absolutely. I’m just starting to feel at ease, so why not enjoy it?”
Saying that, Do-gyun looked away from Eun-seol.
For some reason, when he drinks a cup of coffee because his throat is burning, bitter energy rises from within.
‘Did it burn too dark…’
Coffee felt bitter today.
*
The downtown area I always stopped by whenever I went out with Eun-seol.
Do-gyun looked at the large department store at the center of it and blurted out his words.
“… Therefore.”
“That’s mine.”
At the words he heard, Do-gyun’s gaze moved back and forth between the department store and Eun-seol.
It’s a department store I’ve been to. So, it is the same department store that Eun-ah came to buy clothes for on the first day she went out with Eun-seol.
Realizing this, Do-gyun’s mouth fell open.
I expected it to be large, but I never thought it would be a department store.
“… Come.”
“Don’t be fooled and follow me.”
A word spoken with a small tongue click.
After Eun-seol said that, she moved forward with a click of her shoes.
Do-gyun’s gaze blankly followed Eun-seol’s back.
Even though she was wearing kill heels, Eun-seol, whom she always thought was small, felt as if she could reach the sky today.
“Aren’t you coming?”
“Ah, here we go!”
Do-gyun’s steps quickly followed Eun-seol.
Immediately after entering the department store, Eun-seol headed for the elevator with familiar steps and went to the office on the top floor and opened the door there.
“Ah, boss. Long time no see!”
“Yes.”
Do-gyun, trembling at the sound of a voice coming from inside, cautiously stepped inside and saw a woman with a smiling face standing in the middle of the office.
Presumably, the attendant of the concealment.
Her hair was tightly tied up and her forehead was exposed, her thin features, her tall height, and her passionate expression made an impression.
While Do-kyun looked at her for a while, he narrowed his eyes and glared at her, feeling a sense of déjà vu for some reason.
Clearly, it was someone I had seen.
‘Where did you see it…’
Do-gyun, whose brows had narrowed, took a closer look at her features once again.
A face with thin lines, full of passion, yet strangely youthful.
Do-gyun, who had been thinking about her for a long time, belatedly realized who she was and vomited her voice.
“Ah!”
A loud sound echoed through the office.
At that, Eun-seol and the attendant’s eyes turned to Do-gyun.
Do-kyun opened her mouth while pointing at the attendant with his index finger, catching the two gazes directed at me.
“Employee!”
“Oh, do you remember?”
Clever answer.
Do-gyun’s mouth opened again.
He was someone I had already run into twice.
The clumsy waitress I met when I first visited this place with Eun-seol, and later met once more at the party supply store.
“Why… ?”
Why is she working as Eun-seol’s attendant? While that thought passed by for a while, Do-gyun was able to quickly answer the question.
“Is this your main job?”
“Oh, as the boss said, your eyes are no joke.”
The answer given while looking at Eun-seol.
At that, Eun-seol let out a deep sigh and briefly introduced each other.
“This is Chae Do-gyun. This is my direct subordinate.”
After saying that, Eun-seol, sitting on the sofa in the middle of the office, crossed her legs and added her words.
“This is the guy who said I would introduce you. He’s the guy who takes care of company affairs while I’m gone, so you can learn pretty much anything from him.”
“Boss, I’m not a bastard, but a bitch…”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
“Yep.”
“Okay, I have some work to do, so you can take him out.”
Eun-seol said that and shook his hand to drive Do-gyun away.
Do-gyun, who had been wearing a blank face until the day before, looked at the attendant as he finished his assessment of the situation a step later.
The name tag placed over his left chest had the name ‘Yeon Harim’ written on it.
Do-gyun looked at him for a moment, then moved his gaze to her face again and spat out words.
“Long time no see?”
Stupid two. In addition, it was a tone tinged with faint hostility.
It was natural.
What did that woman do during her second meeting?
-Reel? Have you changed your lover?
The words she said while holding Eun-ah by her side. If she said it without knowing, it would have been extenuating circumstances, but…
‘… Knowing everything!’
If it’s a direct subordinate, the story is different.
The fact that Eun-seol introduced herself meant that this woman knew everything about Eun-seol’s situation.
Even so, if she said that, wouldn’t that mean she was trying to bury herself?
When Do-gyun recalled that thought and looked at his attendant, Harim, Harim smiled and asked for a handshake.
“Is this the third time? Nice to meet you. It’s a younger age.”
“I am Cha Do-gyun.”
Saying that, Do-gyun received a handshake, and looked into Harim’s eyes as he spoke.
“… At the party supply store.”
“Yeah?”
A look of tilting one’s head.
At that, Do-gyun’s eyes shed Harim with sharp energy.
“Did you enjoy it?”
It was a pitch filled with deep resentment.
It was Do-gyun who was polite to people who were not used to it, but this time he came out a little stronger.
Do-kyun was a narrow-minded person who once harbored a grudge and carried him for the rest of his life.
When Do-gyun sent his eyes wide open, Harim, who continued to think while rolling his eyes, let out a laugh and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
“At that time, she asked if she had changed her lover?”
She remembered
Do-kyun’s eyes widened when he realized him.
Ha-rim looked at Do-gyun’s eyes glaring at me and continued her words with a laugh of ‘Pu-ha-ha’.
“Ah, please understand. It’s annoying to work on weekends when other people are playing, but dating in front… Isn’t it heartbreaking to show such a friendly side?”
The answer is given with a good laugh.
When Do-gyun let out a stupid laugh, Harim let go of the hand he had been holding until the day before and tapped Do-gyun on the shoulder, continuing her words.
“Leaving aside the past… Oh, do you smoke?”
It was a word that was handed over with the index and middle fingers in front of the mouth and jingling.
Do-gyun looked at the situation, shook his head slightly and spat out an answer.
“I hung up.”
“Ew? Why are you giving up on this good thing?”
The answer to do it with blinking eyes.
Do-gyun felt his head start to throb.
Great my pace.
Indeed, Eun-seol’s subordinates are different no matter what. Harim could have been awkward, but she shamelessly smiled and continued her words.
‘Inexpensive.’
Instinct said so.
Cheap. Among them, it was the worst quality, ‘It’s a joke, but you didn’t feel bad?’
Again, a sigh escaped Do-gyun’s mouth.
If you think deeply about this type of person, your head hurts for no reason. The best way is to treat it in moderation.
Do-kyun looked at Harim, who was losing his appetite, and continued to speak in a weak tone.
“… Even if you don’t have blood, I can stay by your side, so let’s go.”
“Oh, you are sweet.”
Flinch.
Do-gyun’s body trembled at Harim’s words.
“… Take that sweet off.”
PTSD almost came.
When Do-gyun said that, Harim giggled and led Do-gyun to the smoking room on the roof.
Do-gyun felt the urge to smoke welling up when he saw Harim lighting a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth.
“By the way, can I ask you something?”
“Well? Which one?”
“Apart from the first time, Eun-seol brought them, how did you know you were there the second time?”
It was a question that suddenly came to mind.
On the day they went to the party supply store, Harim was preparing there before they even arrived.
It could have been that we met by chance because we were running two jobs, but judging from the way we talk, it didn’t seem like that, so I asked the question.
When Do-kyun asked that question, Harim gave an answer in a puzzled tone with a giggle.
“If you can’t do that, you won’t be able to do this. If you put a location in the navigation, it flies to me. Boss, if the other friends have an accident, I have to go to fix it.”
“Ah.”
Do-gyun’s mouth fell open at the answer that came back.
Certainly, it was a convincing answer.
Are Eun-ah’s personalities a bit eccentric? If he had an accident, he would have needed someone to deal with him, but Eun-seol inside his body couldn’t solve him, so he needs someone to solve it instead.
Do-gyun looked at Harim with a slightly surprised face.
“It must have been out of the ordinary.”
Why don’t you know If you count the number of times the personalities backtracked, wouldn’t it be yourself that you didn’t get pushed anywhere?
When Do-gyun spoke with admiration, Harim shrugged his shoulders and made a circle with his thumb and forefinger to answer.
“It is about money. Isn’t our boss’ spending a bit cool?”
A smirk escaped Do-gyun’s mouth at the reply.
“It’s okay.”
Isn’t it a use that surprises even Eun-ah? Do-gyun, who was breathing heavily at him, then spit out a question that came to mind.
It was a question that came to my mind while listening to the story.
“By the way, how did you two meet?”
“Hmm… , This is a bit long.”
Harim sucked in the smoke from her cigarette, and she continued to spit him out.
“Even if you look at it like this, I know a lot about what I can say because I ate some ink. Also, he is one of the talented people who shines at the top entrance and graduation at Korea University. But I ended up leaving the Department of Business Administration…”
A word that is passed by clicking the tongue and saying ‘tsk’.
Harim then took another sip of his cigarette and spat it out.
“I want to make money, but there is nothing I can do with the Business Administration Department, so while I was thinking about it, the boss asked me to work together… Hey, that wasn’t a joke. A little boy in school uniform came and said that, but how many would he have squeezed in if it wasn’t just the money he put in?”
After saying that with a giggle, Harim looked at Do-gyun and added his words.
“So that’s what I did. Put your signature on the memorandum! Fill up your bank account balance!”
Do-kyun listened to Harim’s words with an ‘oh’ sound.
He doesn’t know about Eun-seol’s past. Hearing him, it was because he felt a little unfamiliar.
