Chapter 188 – Chapter 188
Café in downtown.
Eun-seol sat cross-legged at a table in the corner, sipping coffee and looking at the person sitting across from her.
It was Chun-wu, Eun-ah’s maternal uncle, a middle-aged man with an impressive straight look.
“So, why did you call me?”
A sharp-tongued word. At that, Tianyu’s expression wavered.
“How have you been?”
“I asked why you called.”
Chun-wu’s fingertips trembled. The brow narrowed for a very short time, then straightened again.
Eunseol knew well what that meant.
The act of suppressing oneself to pretend to be nice to the subject and to pretend to be unconcerned. It was one of Cheonwu’s pretentious actions that Eunseol couldn’t be unaware of.
“… Yes, our Eun-ah must be very angry.”
“Us?”
Eun-seol pinched Cheon-wu’s words again.
“I don’t know if we were close enough to be called.”
“…”
Chen Yu’s mouth was closed. In the meantime, tendons bulged on the back of his hand as he was holding the coffee cup.
It was a sudden call. Eun-seol recalled that he was very fortunate that Chun-wu contacted him on the day he was out. If I had seen Eun-ah like that, I would have been scared.
Chun-wu continued to show a suppressed expression, and then spat out such words.
“… Yes, since Eun-ah looks in a bad mood, let’s get to the point.”
“Tell me.”
“I’d like you to stop joking around.”
It’s a joke.
A smile crept across Eun-seol’s mouth.
“What joke are you talking about?”
“Your uncle is not an idiot. It seems like you’ve fallen in love with money games lately?”
Eun-seol sipped her coffee and continued her thoughts.
I was able to realize at once what that money game meant. A procession of selling that he tried to shake Cheonwoo’s position.
That must be what Chun-wu pinches.
‘How did you know…’
Eunseol promised. Tianyu never reached himself on his own. That shrewd human being didn’t have the ability to do that.
What immediately comes to mind is the executive team, the head office’s finance team, or else…
“I do not know. What are you talking about?”
“My father was very angry.”
Are you the chairman?
Eun-seol looked at Chun-wu with a calm face, slightly raising her eyebrows.
“Oh, what accident did you have?”
“Eunah.”
A stern expression appeared on Chun-wu’s face.
“You know, my father doesn’t like behavior that harms the company.”
“Isn’t your uncle dangerous, not the company?”
Eun-seol felt a very pleasant feeling when he saw Cheon-wu glaring at his words.
“Is the president the kind of person who would blink an eye over something like that, and why are you making excuses that don’t work?”
Between people you know, why?
A smile grew on Eun-seol’s lips.
He looked like he was on the verge of burning. Isn’t it really funny how he tries to scare himself by bringing up the president on the subject?
Eun-seol looked at the empty coffee cup before he knew it and let out a short breath and spat out his words.
“If you have nothing more to say, let’s go. Hopefully, the matter will be resolved.”
I didn’t want to spend any more time with this pitiful human being who was no longer in danger.
The moment Eun-seol came up with such a thought and tried to pack his coat.
“… I wonder if it’s a bit early to live with a man at that age.”
Words that could not be ignored came out.
Eun-seol paused, stopped his body and looked at Chun-wu. His complexion was stained with a stern expression.
“… Do you have a problem?”
“It can’t be, my uncle is worried. Isn’t he a man who is not one or two years old, but nine years older than him?”
Eun-seol felt annoyance welling up inside him.
Did he react too hastily to the mention of Do-gyun?
Chun-wu began to show a spirited appearance.
“Your father seems to be worried too.”
Eun-seol gritted her teeth ‘quickly’ and sat down again.
‘… It sucks.’
It just seemed like it would be hard to get over.
*
Do-gyun, who returned home after work, felt that his body was shrinking for no reason at the expression of Eun-seol, who was angry for some reason.
It wasn’t because I wanted to.
Eun-seol, who originally had a stern expression, becomes even more terrifying when she is angry, but on such days, her body will definitely shrivel up like this.
Such thoughts continued in my head.
‘What did I do wrong?’
I look back at myself because a person who doesn’t look that angry at all is so angry that it can be seen.
However, there was no way that the answer would come out.
For about a week, I haven’t played a prank on Eun-seol, I’ve done all the housework, and I’ve been eating mainly vegetarian meals.
Do-gyun, who was continuing his thoughts, suddenly widened his eyes at the thought that passed through his head.
‘Master?’
Coriander withdrawal phenomenon?
Do-gyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Eun-seol.
‘Well, it’s because I haven’t seen him eat at all lately.’
For about a month, he continued to cook himself, so he may have had a withdrawal phenomenon.
It didn’t sound like a word, but Do-gyun thought it was reasonable.
Didn’t she turn into a wasp if Eun-ah’s [Rusty Sword and Grave of Hummingbird] Serialization exceeded the promised period?
Do-kyun quietly approached Eun-seol and asked the question. A deep smile appeared on his lips.
“Mr. Eunseol, how about a bowl of cilantro malatang after a long time?”
Eun-seol’s head lifted. His frowning face began to take on a slightly different light as he looked at Do-gyun.
“… What kind of nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?”
It was a pathetic light. Do-gyun pursed his lips at Eun-seol’s gaze.
Eun-seol let out a deep sigh at the sight, then flicked his hand and called for Do-gyun.
“Come and sit down.”
“Yep.”
Do-gyun sat across from Eun-seol in an upright position.
Eun-seol stared at Do-gyun, who was sitting with his back straight, then let out a deep sigh.
Flinch. Do-gyun’s body trembled.
“Well, why are you doing that?”
Does it make you look particularly ugly today?
Since Eun-seol used to say, ‘You look like a dick’ every time you see yourself, you couldn’t rule out that possibility.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-seol with a tense face for a long time, and before he knew it, Eun-seol raised his head and looked at Do-gyun, and said in a tone full of annoyance.
“You, Eun-ah, I need to meet Grandpa.”
Soggy. Do-gyun’s eyes blinked. His head tilted to the side.
Eun-seol crumpled her expression at the sight, and then added such words.
“Come see me and the president.”
It was only after some time had passed that Dokyun understood the words.
*
President. So Eun-ah’s grandfather.
Eun-seol was talking about going to meet the president of the company, whom even a little kid would know if he lived in Korea.
Do-gyun looked at Eun-seol with a blank face and asked back.
“Suddenly?”
“I found out that the president lives with you.”
It was a deep sigh. There was a look of annoyance and a look of despair.
A look that Do-gyun had never seen before. Plus, it seemed incomprehensible.
“I… Didn’t you say you didn’t care what Eun-ah did?”
“Yeah, it was like that originally.”
A word she made by clicking her tongue with a ‘tsk’.
Immediately after, Eun-seol lowered her gaze slightly and added that.
“… Sorry. I thought it was too easy.”
It was an apology.
“Seo Cheon-wu, that person had Kang-soo, it seems like he told the chairman about you and Eun-ah, just like Seo Han-kyung did. I would have ignored it… The president called directly. You can’t avoid this.”
Just like Seo Han-kyung, Do-gyun’s expression hardened at those words.
“… Eun-ah is leading a promiscuous life like that person. Did she say that?”
It was out of anger.
Eun-seol’s head turned even lower.
“… Sorry.”
“No, Eun-seol, why are you sorry?”
“I should have made it clearer…”
“It is not.”
Startled, Eun-seol, slightly shaken, raised his head and looked at Do-gyun.
Do-kyun looked at Eun-seol, who was looking at him, and continued with a face full of anger.
“That Seo Chun-woo is really mean.”
I was genuinely angry this time.
It seemed that Do-kyun could never forgive the person Seo Cheon-wu.
I neglected Eun-ah when she needed the most help, and then I went looking for her and tried to improve my personality. Even that is not enough, so isn’t he trying to make Eun-ah into a person like Seo Han-kyung?
Was a villain
Do-gyun came up with the idea that a person like Seo Cheon-wu should be called a wicked person.
“It’s not Eunseol’s fault. It’s the fault of the Seo Chun-woo. Let’s go. Because it’s the president and I have to go and argue with him first.”
Jump-!
Do-gyun stood up.
Eun-seol, who had been watching the action with shaky eyes, kept her mouth shut as if she was thinking about something, and looked at him with a small smile.
“No, are you laughing? Isn’t it urgent in such an emergency!”
“No.”
“Eh?”
Do-gyun’s head tilted.
Eun-seol looked at Do-gyun, who was standing there with a somewhat despondent expression on his face, and continued.
“… Not now, it’s night.”
“Ah.”
Do-gyun belatedly realized that it was late at night and sat down again.
His hand ran over his cheek and scratched his cheek.
“… Shall we eat?”
“Coriander Maratang.”
“Yep.”
Do-gyun was ashamed of himself for getting excited because of the heat in his head.
