Heroine App 58

Chapter 58 – My Girlfriend Is Sujeong?! (3)

For a moment, I thought I saw a glint in his eyes.

I bowed at a 90-degree angle, just like when I first met Sujeong’s mother.

“Yes, that’s right. I’m Cheon Jinhyun, and I’m dating Sujeong.”

Adults liked this kind of politeness. Especially when it came to the people who would be my future in-laws, I had to be extra respectful.

When I worked part-time, the boss would sometimes come by, and if I greeted him like this and made him coffee, he would occasionally give me a ten-thousand-won tip. Sometimes he would even buy us chicken or pizza to share.

“Hmm. I see.”

Sujeong’s father nodded after receiving my greeting.

It was hard to read his expression.

He didn’t seem particularly upset, but his unique aura was heavy.

“I’m Kang Jeonghun. It’s nice to meet you.”

With those words, Sujeong’s father got up from the sofa.

He walked over to me, extending his hand for a handshake.

Just as I was about to take his hand,

*Slap.*

‘Huh?’

Suddenly, Sujeong’s mother slapped her father on the back.

What, what was that?

“Oh, honey! Why are you being so serious? Sujeong brought her boyfriend home for the first time, don’t make him nervous.”
“Well, that’s…”
“Oh, come on. You always told Sujeong to get out more and date, but now that she has a boyfriend, you’re all flustered?”
“Ahem, ahem.”

Sujeong’s father coughed, his face turning red.

“…”

Her father seemed stern, but it seemed like her mother was the one in control.

Sujeong’s mother gave me a warm smile.

“You said your name is Jinhyun, right? Make yourself comfortable. Our man here gets a little weird when it comes to things related to his daughter…”
“No, not at all. He seems like a very cool person.”
“Oh, really? You’re a sweet talker. I like you.”

Sujeong’s mother smiled, and her father coughed again before extending his hand to me once more.

“Ahem. Anyway, it’s nice to meet you. As my wife said, make yourself at home.”

His tone was the same, but his expression had softened, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

“Yes, please take care of me.”

I took his hand with both of mine.

When I looked at Sujeong, she was smiling happily, her eyes following me.

Sujeong’s mother chuckled as she looked at her daughter.

“Are you that happy?”
“Huh? Yeah. I’m glad I brought him. Hehe.”

Her mother shook her head.

“Oh my, they say raising a daughter is useless. She’s practically shooting lasers from her eyes.”

Her father looked back and forth between me and Sujeong.

“By the way, have you had breakfast or lunch yet?”
“No, I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Oh. I haven’t either.”

Sujeong’s father nodded.

“Then let’s go out to eat now.”
“Huh? Wasn’t there food already prepared at home? I smell stew…”

When Sujeong said that, her mother clicked her tongue.

“Oh, my daughter, you need to learn to read the room.”
“Read the room…?”

Sujeong’s cheek was stretched out by her mother’s hand.
Cute.

“We can’t just feed our guest a home-cooked meal, can we? I only prepared a little, thinking it was just you coming.”
“Wow. So, that means I’m just a little?”
“Yes, you little brat. He’s your boyfriend, we should take him out for something delicious.”

Come to think of it, both of them were wearing their outdoor clothes.

Sujeong’s mother was wearing comfortable clothes at first, but it seemed like she had changed in the room earlier.

“If you had told me earlier, I would have made a reservation at a nice place. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
“Hehe, I wanted to surprise you.”

Sujeong smiled brightly, and her father smiled as well.

“Well, you did surprise us, so I guess you succeeded.”
“That’s true. Honestly, it’s the most surprised I’ve been all year.”

The two of them said that as they moved towards the entrance.

“Hmm? What’s this?”

Her father tilted his head, looking at my gift placed in front of the entrance.

“Oh, right, it’s a small gift for visiting.”

I handed the red ginseng extract and the fruit basket I had bought to Sujeong’s father and mother, respectively.

“Oh my, you didn’t have to buy all this.”
“I know. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted on buying it.”
“Still, it’s a sudden visit, and I didn’t want to come empty-handed. Sujeong said that you both like fruit and that she wanted you to stay healthy, so I bought fruit and red ginseng extract.”
“Oh my. Our Sujeong said that?”

Suddenly, her father’s face crumbled.
But then he realized I was there and quickly coughed, fixing his expression.

His stern look was only for work, and he was very weak to his wife and daughter at home.

“Ahem. Anyway, it’s not polite to refuse a gift. I’ll gladly accept it. We can bring out the fruit for dinner.”

The two of them put my gifts on the table and came back.

“Where are we going to eat?”

When Sujeong asked, her father’s gaze turned to me.

“Do you have any preferences? Like Korean, Japanese, or Chinese food?”
“No, I don’t have any preferences at all.”

When I shook my head, her father nodded.

“That’s good then.”
“So, honey, where are we going?”
“There’s only one place that’s good without a reservation.”
“Ah.”

I followed Sujeong’s family out of the house.

As soon as we got out of the house, Sujeong stuck right next to me. I could feel the soft sensation of her side breast against my arm.

Was she trying to show off? She was very bold in her actions.

“…”

As Sujeong stayed close to me all the way down to the underground parking lot, her father’s expression gradually filled with surprise.

Hearing that we were dating was one thing, but seeing us like this was a different story.

Her mother chuckled.

“Surprised, right? I was surprised too.”
“Hmm.”

When her father nodded, her mother poked him in the side.

“You can’t be jealous, okay?”
“Why would I be jealous?”

This time, her father put his arm around her mother’s waist.

“H-honey. The kids are here…”

But her mother didn’t take his arm off either. Instead, she placed her hand on top of his.

“Your parents seem to have a very good relationship.”
“Right?”

A happy smile appeared on Sujeong’s face.

The two of them stopped in a corner of the parking lot.

“Honey, which car are we taking today?”
“We should take the one the kids want.”

Her father looked at me.

Sujeong’s father had several cars.

Crazy.
They were all expensive cars, even at a glance. They probably all cost over a hundred million won.

Among them was a familiar sports car that I often saw in memes online.

When asked which one I wanted to ride, I chose a car that looked reasonably stylish and cool. Honestly, I didn’t have the eye to distinguish the expensive cars in detail.

I wanted to ride the sports car, but it was a two-seater, so I couldn’t choose it.

“You have a good eye, I see.”

But fortunately, it seemed like I had chosen the car that her father often used.

As soon as I got into the car, the seat felt incredibly soft and enveloped my body. Maybe she saw my face, but Sujeong sat next to me and held my hand.

“Hehe. Comfortable, right?”
“Yeah. It is. Wow… I could sleep here.”
“Yeah~. After high school, there were a few times when my dad picked me up in this car, and I often slept in it too.”

After we all put on our seatbelts, her father started driving.

About 15 minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

We entered the parking lot of a stylish building. It was a three-story building, and it seemed like the entire building was a restaurant.

“Ah. It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”
“We come here often, but it’s been about half a year for Sujeong, right?”
“Yeah. Has it been that long?”
“Let’s go. It’s a Chinese restaurant run by a friend of mine, and the food is quite good.”
“Okay.”

We got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.

The interior of the building was very clean, and there were luxurious decorations and paintings with a Chinese feel everywhere.

“Welcome. This is Honggak.”

As we passed through what seemed like a waiting area and reached the entrance, a person who looked like a manager in a neat suit bowed his head.

He recognized Sujeong’s father and greeted him happily.

“Ah. You’ve come again, Mr. Kang.”
“It’s good to see you. Is Mr. Hwang here?”
“I believe he’s coming in for the evening shift today. I’ll let him know that you stopped by when he arrives.”
“No need, there’s no need for that. Please show us to our table.”

We followed the manager to a VIP room on the third floor.

Inside the spacious room, there was a large round table and four chairs.

The room’s theme was gold, and the room, decorated with luxurious and stylish gold, had a mysterious atmosphere.

I sat across from Sujeong’s father, and Sujeong sat next to me.

“The highlight of Honggak is the course meal. If there’s a course you want to try, don’t hesitate to choose it. Come on, Sujeong, you too.”

I opened the menu at her father’s words.

‘Ah.’

And now I could understand.

When I went on a date with Sujeong at Namsan Tower, why she didn’t hesitate at all to enter a high-end restaurant.

And why she chose a course that cost over 300,000 won for the two of us without any hesitation.

‘The cheapest course is 89,000 won.’

There were eight different types of courses on the menu.

The expensive courses cost over 200,000 won. Of course, that was per person. If you added all the extra options, it could easily exceed 400,000 won.

Indeed, it was because Sujeong had been to places like this often that she didn’t hesitate to buy me things.

‘She even said she would take care of me if necessary.’

Of course, the reason she bought me things was because she liked me, but it was clear that her standards for spending were different.

‘But I don’t have to be flustered by these price tags anymore.’

That’s right.
In my wallet, I had three first-prize lottery tickets with the title of “life reversal.”

And with the “Heroine App,” a fraudulent system, I could go as high as I wanted.
