Chapter 184 – Chapter 184
Eun-ah wanted to know about Eun-seol. She thought that she couldn’t just pretend she didn’t know Eun-seol, who had endured on her behalf.
Fortunately, there was someone next to Eun-ah who knew Eun-seol very well, which she did not know.
“Are you the old boss?”
“Yes, yes…”
After Eun-ah nodded her head slightly, she waited for Harim’s answer.
She doesn’t know all of Eun-seol’s time, but at least she knows Eun-seol after high school.
Perhaps someone who knows more about other personalities than Do-kyun.
“Hmm…”
Harim drooled at Eun-ah’s sudden words. It was because she was worried about what to say about Eun-seol in high school.
“It was ferocious. Um, he was very picky. Should I be the type to buy and make enemies?”
Eun-ah’s head tilted. Harim scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed by Eun-ah’s reaction and spat out his words.
“Well, it still is, but… At that time, the boss was really aggressive. His expression was much more savage than he is now, and should I say that every word he said stung a person? It would be fair to say that he was like a man on a precipice.”
A word that I once secretly mentioned to Do-kyun.
It was like that when Harim remembered Eun-seol in high school. She walked around with an expression that looked as if she would kill someone, and the way she worked hard was just like someone who was about to die.
The reason Harim couldn’t reject Eunseol’s proposal.
She gave a lot of money she never imagined she would earn, but it would be correct to say that she accepted Eun-seol’s offer because of her precarious appearance.
Perhaps sympathy. Harim was here now because he felt that way for Eun-seol back then.
“It’s almost work to say that it’s something I usually do, but it was just a follow-up to an accident that other bosses hit. Sometimes, when I have some free time, I read a little bit of a book, well… Did you drink too?”
“Go, when I was in high school… ?”
“Yes, when I was in high school.”
Embarrassment bloomed on Eun-ah’s face.
There was something I realized now.
‘Uh, somehow…’
The day she drank for the first time, this must have been the reason why she didn’t have a hangover. No, that was the reason I didn’t even feel drunk.
Like that, Eun-ah continued Harim’s words even while she was gaining her enlightenment.
“When I think about it now, the hardest part of helping the boss was serving alcohol. At first, she didn’t seem to be drinking that well, but the more she drank, the more she drank… Am I here to serve drinks? I thought so too.”
“Sorry, sorry…”
“Yes? Aye, just kidding.”
Eun-ah apologized. I don’t know why, but Harim’s expression when she said her words looked so empty, so I felt like I had to do that.
Harim giggled at the sight of Eun-ah lowering her head, then spat out her words.
“Um, but there was a rare time when the president’s expression brightened.”
“Yeah?”
Eun-ah’s head lifted. A mischievous smile crept across Harim’s lips.
“When choosing a gift. I’ll give you the boss of the main body.”
“Ah.”
What does Harim mean? Eun-a knew.
Clothes or things that are put on the table in the living room once in a while. Things you put on post-it notes with small messages.
“He’s like a real self-made man, but at that time, he asked me for my opinion and pondered for a long time before finally choosing a gift. Your expression is also very soft.”
Eun-a felt her stomach churn at her words.
“Um, the boss must really like the body boss. I can feel it even when I don’t know the relationship with the bosses.”
My fingers got numb for no reason.
Eun-a nodded her head at Harim’s words, and held on to her small rippled insides, raising her smile.

“A gift?”
“Yes, yes…”
Dinner spot. Do-gyun tilted his head at the sight of Eun-ah suddenly saying, “I want to give Eun-seol a present.”
“Uh, because my sister always worked hard… Bo, I want to repay you…”
“Ah.”
Was that the reason?
Do-kyun smiled at the sight of Eun-ah talking with her cheeks blushing slightly. Her head bobbed up and down.
“Good. Because I am very indebted. So, did you choose the gift?”
“Well, I don’t know what I like… How is the bee?”
What do you like
As Do-gyun looked back at the Eun-seol he had seen, he thought of something Eun-seol might like.
“… Alcohol.”
It was an answer that came out without a long thought.
Reading and drinking were the things Eun-seol did most often, and since drinking was something she did with a happy expression, there was no reason to worry.
“Why don’t you give me a gift of good wine?”
“Liquor…”
Eun-ah briefly thought about Do-gyun’s words, then nodded her head.
It was definitely a nice gift. Sometimes when I look into the wine cellar, the alcohol disappears very quickly, so I thought it would be okay to fill it up this time.
“Joe, okay… !”
A smile crept across Eun-ah’s lips.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-ah and spat out words.
“Well, then shall we go shopping this weekend?”
“Yeah… !”
Head nodding. Do-gyun nodded his head following the figure and continued his thoughts.
It was because he felt that he should choose a present for himself.
*
Weekend. The day before, Eun-ah and I bought wine for Eun-seol as a gift, and filled the storage room with it.
There was still a schedule left until Eun-seol’s turn, so Do-gyun stopped by Eun-chae and the bookstore to prepare his share of gifts.
Eun-chae entered the bookstore with Do-gyun, reminding her that her cheeks were red as if she was excited about going out after a long time.
“Is there a book you want to read, too?”
“Fairytale.”
“Um, then would you like to see it? I’ll be picking out some books for Eunseol as a present.”
“Yeah.”
Eun-chae looked at Do-gyun, who swept her hair and walked away, with her twinkling eyes at the bookshelf lined with fairy tales.
Most of what I’ve seen. However, there were also books that I hadn’t seen intermittently in the large bookshelf.
Eun-chae nodded her head and started picking up the books she found appealing.
The number of books that are increasing one by one suddenly exceeds five.
Eun-chae stopped choosing a book and she looked across at Do-gyun on her bookshelf across the street.
I saw Do-gyun holding up the books one by one with a serious expression on his face.
She said it was because she was struggling to choose a book to gift to Eun-seol.
Eun-chae came up with the idea that she didn’t like the way Do-gyun put so much effort into a gift for a witch, but she immediately moved her gaze to the bookshelf with fairy tales and thought of something else.
‘… A witch’s gift.’
Should I give it too?
That thought came to my mind.
Eun-chae was worried. She was a witch that I didn’t like, but she still likes Do-gyun, so if I choose a gift for a witch, Do-gyun will praise her.
Eun-chae’s eyes twinkled at the thought that came to her mind, and she soon began to choose one more of her books.
A book to present to the witch.
The thought of which one would be better soon came to an end when I found a book in a corner of the bookshelf.
*
Eun-seol’s head tilted.
“What.”
It was like that when he saw the packaged goods in front of his eyes.
Do-gyun smiled and gave an answer to Eun-seol, who said that with a questioning face.
“It is a gift. I prepared it to thank Eun-ah for all her hard work.”
Startle. Eun-seol’s body trembled.
“I prepared this, and Eun-chae prepared this. The big one over there was prepared by Eun-ah.”
“…”
“Open it.”
Saying that, Do-gyun looked at Eun-seol, who seemed surprised even at a glance.
Her eyes widened slightly. Her mouth was tightly shut. Her fingertips were trembling slightly.
“Come on.”
Eun-seol’s gaze turned to Do-gyun, and then to the gift again.
Her hand, which was slowly raised, unwrapped the large package Eun-ah had prepared. Yangju was revealed.
“Eun-ah sells that, and I went around a lot looking for it.”
There were only a few places that had it right away, so it was a drink that I finally found after visiting 10 places.
Eun-seol blankly looked at Yang-joo and nodded her head slightly.
The next thing I unwrapped was Do-gyun’s gift.
It was a classic that Eun-seol remembered that he often read classical literature.
“That’s what I prepared.”
“… I read it.”
The answer is to keep your head down. Do-gyun’s body trembled at that.
“… No matter how many times you read it, it is a classic that moves you.”
“Thanks.”
Eun-seol lowered his head and his hair covered his face. Do-kyun couldn’t confirm Eun-seol’s expression, but he could tell from the voice he heard that he liked this gift.
The last was the gift of Eunchae.
A cover with a picture in soft pastel tones. In the middle was the title of the book [The Greedy Witch].
Do-kyun kept an eye on Eun-seol and continued his explanation in a low voice.
“He said he wanted to give Eunchae as a gift too.”
Wouldn’t it feel like irony? Still, it’s a gift that Eunchae chose after thinking about it, so can’t she like it?
As I waited for an answer with that kind of heart, I heard a laughing sound from Eun-seol.
‘Good… Are you doing it?’
It was difficult to identify because I couldn’t see his face.
Do-gyun watched Eun-seol cautiously fiddling with the cover of Dong-hwa, and when he noticed that his earlobes were slightly red, he let out a short breath.
Fortunately, Eun-seol seemed to like the gift.
