Chapter 191 – Chapter 191
Do-gyun had an accident quickly.
‘Do you know Eunseol?’
How do you know No, if you know, why did you leave Eun-ah unattended until now?
Questions come to mind in rows. As a result, his expression began to show a more serious face, and his fists were getting stronger.
It is the same with Eun-ah that her face has changed.
Eun-ah felt her heart drop with a ‘thump’ as she stared blankly at Baeksan.
“Uh, how…”
“Call me.”
Baeksan didn’t say anything else. His expression was like a calm lake, and he couldn’t catch anything in it.
Silence that followed. An atmosphere that has sunk even more heavily.
Eun-a, who didn’t know what to do in the midst of it, pursed her lips, then chewed her lips and nodded her head.
It was too confusing right now to make a normal judgment, so it was concluded that it was better to hand over the body here.
Eun-ah closed her eyes.
Right after, Eun-ah calmed her thoughts in a way she was used to, and Eun-seol came out.
With sunken eyes, Eun-seol looked at Baeksan across from her and Do-gyun right next to her, then checked her own attire, then let out a deep sigh and bowed her head to Baeksan.
“Long time no see. President.”
“Yes.”
“What did you call for?”
“I was kidding.”
“I have no face.”
“Done.”
Do-gyun blinked blankly at the conversation that flowed so fast that he couldn’t even keep up with it.
‘What kind of situation is this?’
I understand that Eun-ah called Eun-seol. Even if Do-gyun thought about it, the judgment was not bad.
Eun-seol must be the one who knows this situation and Baek-san best.
However, as far as the flow of the conversation that followed, it was difficult to catch even Do-gyun, who would have been saddened by the second best.
“Company management. Do it.”
“I have no idea.”
“How long are you going to play with him?”
“Are you letting go?”
“Do it yourself. If you’re a guy who can’t even bring a bowl of food, you shouldn’t have anything to say even if you just walk out.”
“I will restore it.”
“Take care of one affiliate.”
“Sorry.”
It was something to be excited about.
It seems like there is definitely a conversation going on, but since we are exchanging words while just throwing keywords without any context, it is impossible to catch the focus of that conversation from the listener’s point of view.
What I was able to notice was that every time Eun-seol uttered words of rejection, a very brief moment of ‘regret’ appeared on Baek-san’s face.
Through it, Do-gyun was able to realize that a person named Seo Baek-san had a favorable view of Eun-seol.
The reason is still unclear, but the moment Do-gyun tries to let go of his tension, thinking that things seem to be going well anyway.
“You.”
Baeksan pointed out Dokyun.
“Yes, yes!”
Do-gyun’s body hardened. His voice was so loud that it was said to be the second coming of Private Chae Do-gyun.
Wasn’t it over The thought of that disappeared at once.
Yes, it was Eun-seol and herself who called in the first place. He has business with himself, so he must have called.
Do-gyun endured the stares staring at him with a tense face.
Baeksan looked at Do-gyun, who was hardened, for a long time, then continued.
“How much do you need?”
Do-gyun’s head tilted.
“… Yeah?”
“Money, how much do you need?”
Baeksan’s expression darkened slightly. Do-gyun felt goosebumps rising from his back.
This is it Is it the kind of ‘when will you break up with my child?’ That you only see in dramas.
Do-kyun felt a jolt and fear rising, and soon remembered the thought that he could not part with Eun-ah, and he bent his waist at 90 degrees and said so.
“Sorry! I can’t break up with Eun-ah!”
How can you sell love for a few pennies? When Do-gyun let out a voice filled with such determination, Baek-san clicked his tongue and continued.
“I didn’t ask you to break up.”
Flinch. Do-gyun’s body trembled.
“… Yeah?”
Another half-word that follows. Baeksan said that to Eunseol, frowning as if he didn’t like Dogyun’s retortion, “Yes?”
“Why are you so deaf?”
“You are quick to notice.”
“Done.”
Do-gyun shook his head with a shy face.
‘Uh…’
Then why are you talking about money? When Do-gyun’s face was questioned by such thoughts, Eun-seol explained Baek-san’s words.
“You asked if you needed money.”
“Ah.”
“Tsk-.”
Baeksan clicked his tongue.
Do-gyun flinched again at the sound, then glanced at Baek-san with eyes filled with resentment.
No, to be honest, you talk so carelessly, but who understands that? Isn’t it strange that people understand?
… The thought came to mind, but right after that, Do-kyun kept his mouth shut when he remembered that there was someone right next to him who could understand it.
Eun-seol looked at Do-gyun’s colorfully changing expression and sighed ‘hu’, then lowered her head to Baek-san and spat out the words.
“I’ll just go.”
“Yes.”
This, too, was a conversation without context.
*
By the time we returned home, it was time for the sun to set.
Do-kyun lay down on the sofa feeling the strength drain from his tense body.
“Ugh…”
I felt like my whole body was going fast.
What the hell is the situation Do-gyun, who had mixed feelings about not understanding what was going on, asked such a question as he saw Eun-seol, who had changed his clothes before he knew it.
“What is it?”
“It is as you see it.”
“… Yes?”
“I finished talking to the president. You probably won’t be called twice for the same thing.”
After saying that, Eun-seol took out a bottle of liquor and started blowing on it.
Do-kyun kept his mouth shut and thought while looking at Eun-seol.
‘Just looking at cancer…’
Resembles.
I couldn’t understand the circumstances, but Baeksan and Eunseol were clearly similar.
Do-kyun couldn’t hold back his rising curiosity any longer, and asked Eun-seol a question in a slightly roundabout way.
“I think the president likes Eun-seol?”
“You like my abilities, not me.”
“Ability?”
“Didn’t I tell you? The president is a person who wants everything around him and himself to be perfect.”
“Ah…”
I remember hearing that. It’s definitely a story I heard when I was talking about Seo Han-kyung.
Do-gyun nodded his head slightly and recalled the meaning of understanding, then looked at Eun-seol again and spoke carefully.
“Mr. Eunseol…”
“No.”
The words that Do-gyun cuts off.
Eun-seol glanced at Do-gyun with his signature subdued gaze, and then spat out an answer as if he knew what he was thinking.
“I am not a personality modeled after the president.”
Flinch. Do-gyun’s body shuddered slightly.
It is because the temperature of the words was too cold to say that he was a created personality.
“… Sorry.”
An apology that comes out of the thought that I asked a useless question.
Eun-seol shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter, and then continued.
“I was trying to be like him. Because it was necessary.”
Needful. When Do-gyun’s gaze turned to Eun-seol again, Eun-seol pointed to the shower room with his chin and said.
“Wash up and come. I smell sweat.”
Tell me not to ask more.
Do-gyun knew that Eun-seol, who talked like this, would not give an answer no matter what he said.
His fists tightened slightly.
It was because of the frustration that filled up inside.
*
The next day, Eun-ah sat at her desk in her office and reflected on the previous day.
She recalled Baeksan.
Her nonchalant expression reminded her of her attitude toward herself, as if nothing had really happened.
Baeksan treated himself casually, to the point where he became miserable for being so sad and resentful. She treated herself with a calm face.
From what I heard from Do-gyun later, Eun-seol would never be called to the same job because he ended up talking well, but in the end it worked out. That was not a reason to erase the feeling of contempt now rising.
Eun-a thought. She blamed her low expectations for not being able to control her emotions.
She said it was because she had such anticipation that she hoped that Baeksan would feel sorry at least a little after seeing herself breaking the delusion she had been confining herself to and being able to live like this.
Her head was lowered a little further.
Was it really, really nothing?
Did her own sadness mean nothing to Baeksan?
Eun-ah let out a long breath as she clenched her fists.
She had work to do, but she wasn’t very focused.
Thoughts were shaken by her rising emotions, and thoughts sprang up all over her.
It’s something you should ignore. All she has to do is treat Baeksan as someone who doesn’t have it.
Didn’t she make up her mind to do that? Since Do-gyun was by her side, she decided to think of them as others.
But, did her heart fail to follow that resolution? What is it about blood and blood that shakes oneself like this?
Seeing the cold face of Baeksan, Eun-ah constantly rising, she clenched her teeth and raised her body with a ‘jump’.
“Boss? Why are you like that?”
Harim’s words.
As Eun-ah grabbed her own bag, strapped it to her back, and left her office, she said it.
“Okay, I’ll go out for a while.”
“Eh? Uh… Yep.”
A groan escaped Harim’s mouth.
Eun-a left the sound behind and went to find Baek-san, the cause that turned her inside out.
