Chapter 417 – #62. One More, One More! (3)
“I didn’t even know that… Really sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“I know very well why Lanna said that. It’s my tribe that I didn’t live properly. Oh, it’s very embarrassing anyway.”
She blushed not because she was embarrassed, but because she was lying, but Lanna-san seemed to believe it.
I also think that you will never ask me to introduce you as a friend in the future.
“Don’t be shy! It could be! I also don’t keep in touch with all my close friends from school days, well.”
Mr. Lanna tried to comfort me.
After hearing the word friend for a long time, it reminded me of my friends on Earth.
Are they living well?
‘I would have really liked them if they came to this world.’
My friends who were ordinary men just like me.
If I came to this world where there are a lot of women, like I did in the beginning, if I saw only pretty women, I would have turned my eyes away and put my body first.
Maybe he didn’t take a woman with him as much as I did?
It was a pity that I couldn’t introduce those pleasant guys to Lanna-san.
My friends and Mr. Lanna must have gotten along quite well.
“I can’t introduce you because I don’t have any friends, but I can invite you to my house.”
“Then please! It’s enough for me to invite you home!”
Ms. Lanna quickly asked about the way I had prepared for her to live.
Who would have known
That I couldn’t introduce myself because I had no friends.
“Do you want to go right now?”
There’s nothing wrong with taking her right away from her.
The only thing that made me hesitate was that there was only dusty furniture there.
I don’t remember the details as I haven’t been there for too long, but it must be such a chilly house that you won’t feel the slightest sense of life.
It was very reluctant to show Lanna-san that such a place was my home.
‘In my heart, I want to show the warm ‘my house’ where I really live, but if I do that, there will be an uproar.’
Anyway, I think that’s why I always went to Lanna’s place or stayed at a motel when I went on a date.
It is because she cannot be invited to a place that will look like her empty house to anyone.
“If the boss is okay.”
It’s something I don’t really like, but it must have been what Lanna-san was looking forward to.
In my words, I show the meaning that I want to go quickly.
“Hmm, really nothing to see. As you know, my job is my job, so I don’t live there often. When I come to Korea, I always meet Lanna, so I don’t have to go home anymore.”
“Are you okay. Ah! If you don’t mind me visiting right now, you can go next time.”
Being kind is also nice, so I even say words of consideration, as if I thought that I could be uncomfortable.
He’s the kind of person who cares about me, but I can’t disappoint him.
“It is not a burden. But I’m worried that I’ll be disappointed when I see my house. It will be worse than you think.”
“No! Even if you show me a single room, it will be a precious time for me.”
“Then let’s go now. Get up.”
In the end, Lanna and I decided to move towards the house Bianca had arranged for us.
If you want to see Lanna-san, you should see her.
Isn’t the reason you want to see my house because you want to know more about me?
‘It’s not like I’m worn out by looking at it, and it might look a little strange, but you’ll understand that I go here and there often.’
If we put it off until later, I think we’ll get tired of caring about each other.
Anyway, I never thought Lanna would be curious about my house.
I don’t think this is the part that can be touched.
Wouldn’t these actions be greedy because I thought that I wanted to marry me after all?
‘Should I push through and get married at this point? You might be surprised to see how I live and ask you to marry me.’
We still had a long way to go with her.
I think the day will come when I can tell Lanna-san my real identity.
Although it was a story of a far-off future in a situation where they hadn’t even gotten married yet.
‘It’s not good for me to be by her side with a false identity.’
In Fairy and the Woodcutter, there is something the deer said to the woodcutter.
She told the faerie not to give her wing clothes until she gave birth to 4 of her children.
When the fairy ran away, even if she took 3 people, she couldn’t take 4 people, so wouldn’t she have said that?
And I think the deer is right about that part.
‘If you don’t want to lose a woman, you have to do something ugly to hold on to her. Missing it to take care of my conscience like an idiot? I can’t see that.’
I think it’s right to hold on to it regardless of means and methods and keep it by my side.
Moreover, what if I give birth to my child?
Not to mention.
Because blood is thicker than water.
Since I have a strange obsession with my family, I had no intention of letting go of the beings recognized as ‘family’.
So you need to marry her and have children with her.
She needs a solid link between her and me so she won’t run away when I tell her the truth.
‘Is this too trashy?’
If others hear my thoughts, I have nothing to say even if I think they are trying to use my child as a means.
I know I feel sorry for the child, but I want her to understand because it’s for her mom and dad to not break up.
“This is my house.”
How far did you travel from the cafe?
It took some time because Bianca had spent a lot of money on a house she wouldn’t even use.
I guess that’s why I couldn’t come here anymore.
Moreover, there was an unused space on the upper floor of the store building, so I used it when necessary.
A cot was placed on the upper floor of the cafe, and it was used for occasional dates with Lanna-san there, and also for Lanna-san to rest.
There was no need to prepare a separate house because it was enough living space, but Bianca said she had to be more thorough because she had a fake identity, and she dared to buy a house.
It was the reason that even the smallest details had to be prepared to reduce the risk of being caught.
‘Good to hear from Bianca. Who knew this would happen. She asked me to take her home, but if she said she didn’t have one… I’m dizzy just imagining it.’
How embarrassing she would be to hear that she has no friends and no home.
In the end, after saving it, it will be used like this.
She internally thanked Bianca for making preparations in advance.
“… Is this really the boss’s house?”
Ms. Lanna checked my house and her eyes widened in surprise.
It’s understandable that she’s so surprised.
I don’t like houses that big.
Even if the floor space is small, it is better to have a place where you can live comfortably with your family.
However, the house Bianca had saved was unnecessarily spacious, grand, and even splendid, so even looking at it, I didn’t like it.
“On the top floor of a building of this size… Isn’t that a penthouse?”
“Um, you’re probably right.”
Luxurious living spaces on the upper floors of high-rise buildings such as apartments, hotels, and residential-commercial complexes are called penthouses.
And it was the same here.
The view of the city from the top floor was splendid and beautiful.
It is thanks to the lights of the building that brightly illuminate the dark night.
As the night view of the city unfolded under the window, Ms. Lanna was mesmerized for a while and was mesmerized by the overwhelming sight.
While she was staring out of her window, I was busy checking the unfamiliar house I hadn’t been in in a while.
‘Is there no dust? You hired someone to clean it up.’
I can’t even remember when I’ve been here, but surprisingly, it boasted a neatness without a single dust piled up.
Being able to be this neat meant that it was in the hands of people after all.
‘I’m glad there’s no dust… It’s still a house I don’t really like.’
“President! Is this a charter? Are you sleeping?”
“I’m on my own.”
“Ah… That’s right. He also owns the building, so I knew it.”
I think I liked the night view of the city from the top floor, but when I saw it again, Lanna’s expression looked very complicated.
I don’t like the fact that this house is in my name.
Whether you’re a snob or not, it’s normal to like your boyfriend if he has a lot of money.
“Are you embarrassed?”
“… I can’t say no.”
“There is no need to be embarrassed. Do you think my wealth is a reason to change our relationship?”
“However, this is a bit too different. Boss, why the hell are you meeting me? I am a very ordinary person. Now, thanks to the boss, I am working as a cafe owner, but until then, I was just an ordinary college student who was worried about getting a job.”
She doesn’t have a special corner where she is.
I have no ordinary corner anywhere.
Even though they were different, they were two very different people, so Lanna-san said that.
‘Actually, at first I was also surprised that Lanna-san was so ordinary.’
If her fairy, Chili, had pinpointed that woman in her and told her to impregnate her, I thought it was because there was something special about her.
However, the Lanna she had met so far was not a special person.
She is an ordinary college student with frizz in her red hair, a woman with a bright personality that might be similar to someone somewhere.
If her personality is that she knows how to lead and take responsibility for her work, she will be special.
Certainly, Lanna-san is a very ordinary person compared to me.
But that’s it.
If Mr. Lanna was really special, would I be able to love her completely?
“Does she have to be special to be able to love that person? Do I really need to meet someone like that? There’s no law saying she can’t be loved if she’s normal.”
“It is too different.”
“What difference? Height difference? Age difference? Difference in taste? Isn’t that a problem, are we?”
“Boss, you know I’m not talking about that.”
“There is no difference between me and Lanna other than that. I don’t know anything else.”
I like Lanna-san for her normality.
The mediocrity makes us forget that we are artificially met for business.
If she was special, I would keep reminding myself of her dealings with him.
However, when she is with Lanna, it feels like meeting her as me who used to live on Earth, not as an idol named Jin Hae-sol.
I think it makes me feel that way mainly because I enjoy going on a normal date that other people would do.
“Actually, she knew from a long time ago that Mr. Lanna was burdened with the things I had. But wealth can’t make love. My love is made of the memories I had with Lanna.”
“President…”
“I was worried about what she would do if Lanna asked me to break up with her because she felt burdened. So she worked hard to hide it as best she could. But you said you were curious about me today. Was that a lie?”
“I’m not lying.”
“But why are you doing this again? What are you going to do if you feel burdened by this? Will she even break up with me? Am I the only person who is that much to Lanna-san? Ha, this is why the person you love more is considered a loss.”
When I said this with a sad expression on her face, she exclaimed that Mr. Lanna had become unfair.
“Nonsense! The boss likes me more than me! No!! I like you more than the boss!”
“Doesn’t it seem to me? When the talk of marriage came up, I said yes, but she said she wasn’t Mr. Lanna. Wow~ Thinking about it again makes me feel sad again.”
I’m sorry, but I’m going to whine a little today, Lanna-san, let’s understand.
When I looked like I was getting mad, Mr. Lanna said impatiently.
“I said no because it wasn’t a proper proposal!”
“Then, does Lanna-san have any intentions to propose?”
“Sure! What girl in the world would propose so stupidly?!”
“All right. Then she believes in Mr. Lanna and she’ll be looking forward to the proposal. But she please don’t do it too late.”
“Uh… That… Uh? Yes?! A proposal? No, why is the story going this way all of a sudden?!”
They said they liked each other more, but then suddenly moved on to the proposal, and Mr. Lanna was about to change her mind.
“So you won’t?”
How long are you going to see me, huh?
Let’s be family now
I’m waiting for you like this
Just give permission
I will take responsibility for the rest of my life and make you happy.
