Chapter 1161 – So, You Don’t Like Pets? (2)
Lee Eun-seol, who received a call from Choi Min-seok out of the blue in broad daylight, was as worried as he was, even though his heart was pounding.
[〈 Eunseol. Do you have time this evening?]
It didn’t seem to have much meaning other than to suggest a date for the evening, but it was quite rare for Minseok Choi to contact me first like he did today.
‘Will work be finished quickly today?’
It will happen. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tried to make an appointment like this since he’s usually so busy that he doesn’t even check the messages right away.
‘. I guess you contacted me first?’
This part is a little ambiguous, but it probably is.
He has another option besides himself, Choi Seol-ah, but if he had contacted Choi Seol-ah first and asked her out, she wouldn’t have contacted him.
Choi Seol-ah, who was contacted first, may have declined the date because she was really busy with work, but that seemed unlikely.
Anyway, how should I reply to his long-awaited date request?
If it were Choi Seol-ah, he would not think anything and say ‘Yes! ‘Time is fine!’ The reaction of a puppy meeting its owner would be to wag its tail and run, but Lee Eun-seol does not have that type of personality.
If her tail was really attached to her, she would be wagging with excitement, but that didn’t mean she had a little, just a little bit of pride left in her to jump right in and stand on her own two feet and jump up and down. . However,
‘. Should I just say it’s okay?’
First, I don’t pretend to be busy and postpone my schedule to another day even though I don’t have any schedule like I used to.
If that happens, instead of putting it off to another day, the order may pass to Choi Seol-ah.
If she had seen her in the past, she would have said a word, or even a few words, telling her to snap out of it and asking if she was the kind of woman who would go out whenever you called her, but things had changed in many ways since then, so she couldn’t help it.
She and Choi Seol-ah have developed a competitive relationship to the point where they are conscious of each other, and unlike in the past when it was easy to meet, Choi Min-seok’s work has made it difficult for her to meet him.
The biggest reason is that, unlike in the past, when I drew the line and said that it was just a sponsor relationship even though I had a certain crush on him, I started to truly want him.
Even though it was easy to say ‘I like it’, the reason I organized my thoughts into ‘I want it’ was due to my little remaining pride.
‘. Anyway, I’m the only one who loses by throwing things around unnecessarily.’
It’s not like I’ve given up all my pride.
However, even in situations where there was no need to build pride, he simply stopped trying to build pride.
[〉 Yes. It’s okay.]
[〉Do you think work will be finished quickly today?]
Although I accepted it right away, I sent a concise reply and included some light chat so as not to show that I was excited.
[〈 Yes. It’s been a while since that happened. You’re busy, but you’re not overdoing it, right?]
[〉No. Now, evening hours are generally free.]
Is it because I bounced around so much in the past? Even though he accepted it right away without hesitation, he clicked his tongue in response to the question as if he was slightly watching.
If from the first time we met, you didn’t set me up, didn’t take pride in me, and treated me normally, wouldn’t our relationship have been better than it is now?
It was already something that couldn’t be undone, but it was something I often thought about recently.
In the first place, Choi Seol-ah received the spawn before him, so he couldn’t monopolize him in the end, but he couldn’t easily erase the thought that he could have made him lean a little more.
[〉But, are the three of us meeting again this time?]
[〈 No. Last time, I did it to make you two reconcile, and today it’s just the two of us.]
Just a moment ago, he was clicking his tongue in annoyance, but when he heard the reply that it was just the two of them, the corner of his mouth twitched and turned up again.
A date just the two of us for the first time in a while.
He may have remembered what I said about wanting to meet only the two of us next time.
Since we met late at night after work, it was as simple as going to a motel after a meal, but I couldn’t help but feel better thinking that we could spend time alone together.
It already felt like time was passing slowly, to the point of frustration.

After enjoying a leisurely massage at the beauty salon and taking a nap, I felt very refreshed.
“Are you going now?”
“Yes. I have an appointment. Please take care of yourselves, Jimin.”
The aces of the store are Seong Ha-yeon and Ha Yeon-soo. It’s been a long time since these two were chosen, but since the other employees were also selected by Yoo Seo-yeon, they were not far behind those two.
When I came to the store today, Seong Hya-yeon was receiving other customers, and Ha Yeon-soo received a message from another employee for the first time in a while after hearing that the store was closed because she and Yoo Seo-yeon were preparing for the second store.
My skin seemed to be smoother and shinier than usual just by standing at the counter, perhaps thanks to the expectant look in my eyes and the repeated massage during the massage.
If others saw it, they would think it was the employee who received skin care, not me.
After briefly saying hello to the employee standing at the counter, I left the store and drove away.
There was still some time left until the time I was supposed to pick up, but I had some preparations to make, so I set the alarm and left in a bit of a hurry.
After completing the necessary preparations, I was able to arrive in front of Lee Eun-seol’s house just in time.
It would be easier for both of us if we picked her up at the office instead of having to go to her house, but we don’t want it to be known that Eunseol Lee is in a relationship with a man.
As always, I parked my car in front of the officetel and made a call, and took a quick look at Lee Eun-seol’s clothes as she came down after answering the phone.
Unlike her usual attire, which showed off her body to a moderate degree, she wore a thin blouse and skirt that loosely exposed her body, making her look more like a nicely dressed office worker than a model.
“You dressed a little differently than usual today?”
“. The day is a bit hot, and I think it might be okay to do this sometimes.”
Suddenly, I brought up the topic of coordination before greeting Lee Eun-seol, who naturally opened the passenger seat door, came in and sat down, and the answer came back in a slightly sour voice as if I had prepared it in advance.
“It suits you to wear it like this. It’s refreshing and cool, so it’s nice to look at.”
“Then I’m glad.”
As it was a compliment to the coordination rather than the appearance, the answer came back calmly and without a very positive sign this time, but seeing the corner of the mouth twitch slightly, I could tell that he was managing his expression to pretend to be calm even though he was happy on the inside.
“Mr. Eunseol.”
“Huh? Why.”
As if trying not to reveal her good looks, she calls out Eunseol Lee, who is slowly looking towards the window, and makes her look this way again, and when she opens her palm and gently holds it out, she flinches and her expression hardens.
“Hand.”
“Ugh. Really.”
It was as if he had been expecting it from the moment I held out my hand. With a slightly annoyed expression and a small grumble, he lifts his hand and carefully places it on his palm.
“That’s right. That’s good.”
Then, with his hand still on the palm of his hand, he placed his hand on Eunseol Lee’s head and stroked it so hard that the hair was slightly tangled.
Considering Lee Eun-seol’s personality, it would not be enough to complain that her hair was getting worse, but she was just happy, her cheeks blushing deeply and her body shaking as she continued to train her through hypnosis.
Lee Eun-seol’s last pride would be to try not to let her expression fade.
If you do that during sex, you won’t be able to think of pride or anything, and you’ll look like you’re going to die of happiness, but since it’s better for me to be able to see various expressions, I didn’t break this and left it alone.
“Our Eunseol. I was worried that you might be upset since we haven’t seen each other for a while. I’m relieved to see that you’re listening well. Now, do you want to lift your chin this time?”
“Ugh…”
Stroking followed by chin tickling.
Even if you’ve gotten used to it, it would be quite a blow to your pride to be treated like this as soon as you see your face, but as if he couldn’t refuse, he lifted his lowered head slightly and exposed his chin for easy touching.
“Our Eunseol. She’s kind, she’s kind.”
“Ahhh.♥”
It seems that this side is more sensitive than the head, and the body that was flinching began to tremble as if it had goosebumps, and a small trembling sound escaped between the pursed lips.
Just stop the car and pet Lee Eun-seol for a moment.
If I continued here, I felt like my body would slowly get hotter, so I dropped the hand that was tickling my chin, and my lips, which I had been trying hard to close, parted slightly and a small, regretful sound came out.
“Are you sorry?”
“. I don’t know. Can’t this just be done on the bed?”
“It’s because Eunseol’s expression is cuter when we do it outside.”
“…”
Instead of responding to complaints about enjoying everything without resistance, he expressed that he had no intention of listening to him as a compliment.
He seemed embarrassed and happy to suddenly receive praise again, but also annoyed that his request was lightly ignored.
The expression on his face, neither happy nor angry, but keeping his mouth shut, was quite cute.
“How about some simple pasta today?”
“. Do whatever you want.”
I guess he got upset because they teased him too much from the start. I smiled at the way he responded appropriately, as if it was okay, and drove off.
Since I’ve been going on dates all over Seoul, it was easy to find a restaurant that was delicious and had a nice atmosphere as long as I decided on a menu.
Sushi is my favorite food, and in the case of Lee Eun-seol, she prefers late-night snacks in a luxurious atmosphere, so she chose an Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere.
If I said I wanted to eat, I would follow without complaint even if it was a noisy restaurant with no atmosphere, but today, my goal was to keep pace with Choi Seol-ah, who was a little ahead.
The idea was to create a good atmosphere to suit Lee Eun-seol’s taste as much as possible.
When you do something nice, do it in a friendly and pleasant way so that it remains as memorable as possible. That way, even if they were tormented a lot later, there would be fewer setbacks, and they wouldn’t be able to escape.
Even though I thought about it, it felt like I was only accumulating know-how that would be called trash, but since it was my job and not someone else’s, I decided to be as lenient as possible and move on.
