## Chapter 80 – (7)
I was at the hypermarket with Minji.
After overcoming the major hurdle of gaining Bella’s trust, I figured I could just slap on the wolf tattoo sticker and be done with it. But for some reason, Minji dragged me here.
I wanted to see Minji after a long time anyway, so I didn’t really complain.
First, we grabbed a cart and headed to the snack aisle.
“Hurry up and put stuff in.”
“…Snacks?”
“Of course.”
She glared at me as if I was saying something ridiculous in front of the snack aisle.
I was overwhelmed by her gaze and ended up putting in a few of my favorite snacks.
“Matdongsan and Ace crackers? Are you an old man?”
Minji smirked as she looked at the snacks I had put in.
I knew my snack preferences were a bit unique, so I just smiled awkwardly.
I reached out to the cart to take the snacks out, thinking I should put in different ones, but Minji slapped the back of my hand.
Then, gently stroking the back of my hand, Minji said,
“Leave it, you idiot. Let’s go buy booze.”
Next was the liquor section.
Minji picked this out herself.
She put in what looked like an expensive bottle of whiskey and some cola.
Honestly, I’m not much of a drinker, so I just watched.
“You drink soda.”
Minji glanced at me and led me to the soda aisle.
I wondered if she was being considerate because I don’t drink much.
But I was curious.
Had I ever told Minji that I don’t drink well?
“Why do I get soda?”
“…I heard guys can’t get it up when they’re drunk?”
“Huh?”
I burst out laughing at Minji’s serious expression and unexpected consideration.
To think that’s what she was thinking.
“Are we doing it today?”
I deliberately asked Minji in her ear.
With a slightly flushed face, Minji pushed my face away.
“…I don’t know, you son of a bitch… Maybe we will…”
I put a few sports drinks in Minji’s cart as she said that.
There’s nothing better than this kind of drink when you sweat a lot.
I decided to buy it in case a situation where I sweat a lot might come up.
After that, we headed to the cosmetics section.
It was a place where not only cosmetics but also shampoos, conditioners, and hair dyes were gathered.
Here, Minji put in two things in a row.
It said “hair removal cream” on them.
“…Hair removal?”
“You and I have to put on stickers. It sticks better and looks more natural if there’s no hair.”
“Ah… you too?”
I had to put on a wolf tattoo, but Minji—
“Did you forget?”
Minji pointed to her abdomen with her finger.
The empty space between her navel and her… you know.
Then I remembered the promised uterus tattoo sticker.
“You were really looking forward to it back then, weren’t you?”
Minji laughed and imitated my expression back then.
It didn’t look similar.
Our faces were too different to make similar expressions.
No matter how much Minji contorted her face, she couldn’t look like me.
As she did, Minji explained the reason we were meeting up today.
It just so happened that we both had situations where we needed to put on tattoo stickers, and she thought it wouldn’t be bad to do it together.
As she said that, pointing to her abdomen, my head heated up without me realizing it.
And we bought condoms too.
Again, with the excuse that we might use them.
Besides that, we bought what we needed, and we took a taxi to the hotel.
But instead of the usual hotel, I suggested we go to a different one this time.
Minji looked puzzled but trusted me and decided to go where I said.
“This is…”
“Do you know where it is?”
“Yeah.”
The place I changed the destination to and brought Minji to was the hotel where Bella was staying.
Regardless of my connection with Bella, the hotel itself was luxurious and clean, so I thought it would be nice to come here with Minji later.
I didn’t expect this moment to come so quickly.
As it was a particularly famous hotel in Korea, Minji knew about this hotel too.
At the same time, she showed a not-bad expression.
“Nice. Spacious.”
Minji nodded as she entered the lobby, slowly looking around at the hotel’s decorations.
Then a hotel employee approached us, took our luggage, and headed to the elevator, saying they would take it to the room we had booked.
Thanks to that, we were able to leisurely look around the hotel lobby with our hands light.
It was a good choice to book it on my phone on the way here.
There were many people walking around inside the hotel.
The thought of waiting among them made me feel suffocated.
Suddenly, Minji asked me a question.
“So, who did you come here with?”
“Huh?”
“Who did you come here with?”
“…No, it’s not like that.”
I waved my hands in embarrassment.
I don’t know where the misunderstanding came from, but it wasn’t like that this time.
“You’re such a horny pervert…”
I felt a little wronged, but I couldn’t really argue.
In fact, I was planning to target Bella, who would be on the top floor of this hotel soon.
Minji sighed, grabbed my collar, and said,
“Focus only on me today.”
At her words that she couldn’t compromise on that, I nodded as if possessed.
She smiled, satisfied with my dazed expression, and let go of my collar.
And the two of us headed to the hotel room.
It looked like it would be a long night.
***
The top floor of the hotel.
In a space also called the penthouse, she was comfortably leaning back on the sofa for the first time in a while.
In fact, she was always leaning on this sofa most of the time, but there was always a sense of unease in one corner of her heart, so she had never felt comfortable.
The biggest source of anxiety was that Alex, who was like family to her, had been caught by the police.
At first, she was blinded by rage and tried to storm the police station to rescue Alex, but Brody, a fellow Wolf executive and S-rank villain, stopped her.
The reason was that there was something fishy about A-rank Alex being captured so helplessly.
‘There might be a spy, or a more skilled hero than we thought.’
She shook her head at the suggestion that S-rank herself might be caught, but Brody stopped her again, saying that it couldn’t hurt to be careful.
“Brody is too uptight.”
Despite his bear-like size, he always acted cautiously.
That was his strength, but from the perspective of someone in the same organization, it was sometimes suffocating.
“On the other hand…”
She thought of the man who had solved her worries.
He also had the size and ability of Brody.
“Seonghan.”
She slowly pronounced his name, two syllables.
It wasn’t easy to pronounce, but as she kept pronouncing it, it felt subtly catchy.
He was a unique person.
The way he pronounced English and Russian like a native, and the way he talked back to her.
The fact that he sometimes looked down on her from above was something that no one else could ever do.
He was different from ordinary guys.
He was different from the common villains she had seen so far.
He single-handedly took care of 14 B-rank villains.
Furthermore, he rescued Alex from the police station so easily.
And the almost magical power to tear handcuffs with just his fingers right in front of her eyes.
It was a sight she had never seen before in her life.
‘At least A, or maybe even similar to me.’
She thought about it for a long time and then shook her head.
Her worries disappeared after Alex escaped, but Seonghan had taken his place in that void.
How strong is his real power, where will he put the wolf tattoo, and what kind of past does he have?
She kept getting curious.
“Hoo, should I go eat something?”
One of the things she liked most about coming to this country was the food.
It was the taste, but the best part was that there was no unpleasant tipping culture and that people didn’t talk to her unless necessary.
She usually used room service at the hotel, but today she felt like going outside.
That was why.
She happened to see Seonghan and a woman next to him in the lobby.
“Gasp.”
She didn’t know why, but she hid behind a pillar after finding the two of them.
She didn’t understand it herself.
‘Why did I hide?’
There was no reason for her to hide anywhere.
But still, her body moved first.
She hid and watched the two of them.
“…Are they lovers?”
She was a beautiful woman with cat-like features.
She had the most beautiful appearance among the Asian women she had seen so far.
The downside was that she had a bit of a foul mouth.
She wasn’t fluent in Korean, but on the contrary, she could understand swear words accurately.
But Seonghan’s expression was always bright when he heard the swearing.
It was as if he liked women with foul mouths.
The two of them slowly looked around the lobby and talked, and then took the elevator somewhere.
As if possessed, she followed the two of them into the elevator and got off on the same floor.
Even while going up, she thought about stopping several times, but in the end, she was following him.
In the end, she even saw which room the two of them went into.
She slowly approached the room.
“Ha, shit, am I crazy?”
She felt disgusted with herself for trying to put her ear to the door.
She sighed and turned around.
And—
“Ah…”
At that moment, she heard a faint groan from a woman in front of the door.
It was such a weak and feminine moan that she couldn’t believe it was the same woman who had been foul-mouthed earlier.
She blankly approached the door and focused on the sound.
“Hey, you horny bastard… Out of nowhere…”
“You like it.”
“…Son of a bitch…”
“…”
It was a sound she had never heard before.
She was swearing, but the tone of her voice and the sensual breathing were no different from a woman flirting to be loved.
She herself usually had a foul mouth and used swear words, so she strangely overlapped with that woman.
As the act gradually lengthened, the woman’s attitude became weaker, and Seonghan became more masculine.
As she listened to it, she unknowingly put her ear to the door.
It was an action that hurt her pride, but now was not the time to think about pride.
She held her breath and bit her lip, focusing on the sound inside the door.
