Chapter 964 – I Think I Won This Time? (3)
Boast. Now, he said openly and clearly that he was proud.
We tried to be careful with each other, but in the end, the alcohol got involved, and both parties knew clearly what the other was thinking but were pretending not to know, so it wasn’t something worth complaining about now.
The place to find fault is rather another part.
‘A gift.?’
It’s a gift now.
If it’s a gift, Lee Eun-seol has received it countless times whenever she goes shopping with Choi Min-seok, so it’s not something she can be jealous of anymore.
Could it be that Choi Seol-ah has never received a gift before? If so…
“Minseok said that. He bought me this and that while on a date because it was just a sponsorship relationship, so it was a light-hearted gift.”
As if he had peeked into his thoughts. A natural explanation flowed.
“So, it felt a little awkward to give a personally prepared gift like this.”
“…”
The corner of the mouth that was slowly rising to sneer lowered again.
According to Choi Seol-ah, she was the one who never received a proper gift.
“I was thinking about something like a ring or a necklace. Since I don’t wear accessories often, I chose one that wouldn’t raise suspicion even if I wore it often. A choker, well, it’s worth wearing as fashion.”
“Is that so.?”
It had been like that for most of the conversations we had had so far, but this one felt particularly bitter, so I managed my facial expression with difficulty as I answered, and then looked at the choker around Choi Seol-ah’s neck.
A choker with an extremely simple design without any decoration that can be seen anywhere.
No matter how high-end a product it is, it cannot be expensive.
To begin with, Choi Min-seok wasn’t the type of person to be very obsessed with luxury goods, and since he is the type of person who prefers what suits his partner, it would never be an expensive item.
It must have been chosen with that much thought in mind that it would suit Choi Seol-ah.
But still, a gift is a gift.
As Choi Seol-ah said, this is a gift that Choi Min-seok personally prepared and gave, unlike the things that are bought casually during dates.
Lee Eun-seol also received a leash with a similar design, but the leash and choker have different purposes.
No, Choi Min-seok’s intention in giving it as a gift before its intended use would be completely different.
No matter how you think about it, this was your own defeat.
‘Still.’
We are not completely defeated yet.
The hypnosis of not wanting to lose to Choi Seol-ah, which had been in effect long before Choi Seol-ah. That hypnosis calmed Lee Eun-seol’s mind.
Even though Lee Eun-seol was ahead of her, she only received a choker as a gift.
When viewed as an ordinary man-woman relationship. With just one gift, she couldn’t say she had made much progress.
“. Well, that would be nice.”
Even after gathering herself together, she still felt sick, but she was able to manage her strength and expression in the nick of time.
‘I probably won’t even think about dating properly yet.’
For that matter, when you are first offered a spawn relationship. Didn’t she listen to Lim Ye-jin?
There were a lot of things going on with the women I dated before, so right now I have no thoughts about dating or marriage.
So, she wants to meet women casually and have fun as a sponsor.
In that case, the spawn relationship may be a safer zone.
Now that it is a relationship between a man and a woman rather than a spawn relationship, what if Choi Seol-ah clings too closely to him and makes him tired?
‘I have to be careful too.’
Even in a drunken state, Lee Eun-seol calmly summarized the situation and muttered to herself.
Of course, she has no intention of remaining in the spawn relationship just because it is a safe zone.
Rather, she needed to establish herself and change her relationship so that she no longer needed Choi Min-seok’s support.
There are two places that have recently received exclusive contracts.
Both of them were good companies with well-known names, but I was contemplating a decision as I was worried that I might get an offer from a better place.
But now I was going to make the right decision.
Lee Eun-seol, who had clearly composed her mind, filled her empty glass and drank it all down.
“Well, is there anything else to talk about?”
“Huh? That’s…”
When asked in a confident manner whether receiving a choker as a gift was her greatest pride, Choi Seol-ah seemed hesitant and hesitant.
“I guess there isn’t one. Then, should I just drink it for now? I have work tomorrow too, so I shouldn’t drink too much.”
“. I do that.”
I’m sure he was the one who won. It looks like something isn’t right.
Normally, the opponent would have had to go away in defeat, but he was acting so confidently, so it was probably suspicious that there was something else going on.
In reality, it was just a confident bravado, but in a fight between women, this bravado had its own meaning.
“Okay then, I’ll go first. See you later.”
Since she didn’t intend to get along with Choi Seol-ah and go out together, she got up first, left the room, walked out of her store a little quickly, caught a taxi, and returned home.
When I returned home and drank cold water, the conversation at the bar came to mind and I felt irritated once again, but I calmed down as much as I could and washed up.
I wanted to lie down in bed like this and fall asleep, but in this situation, I had to pay even more attention to my beauty care.
* * *
The day after drinking with Choi Seol-ah.
After thinking about it for about two hours, Lee Eun-seol accepted the offer of an exclusive model from one of the two places.
And over the next few days, I organized the remaining work and signed the contract.
I felt a little anxious and nervous about life without being a freelancer, but even more than that, I felt relieved at the thought that I could confidently tell my story to Choi Min-seok.
And, as if he knew everything about his situation, he received a call from Choi Min-seok on his way home.
[〈Are you okay with time tomorrow?]
It wasn’t long after he signed the contract, so he probably didn’t contact me after hearing the news.
‘Should I tell you now? No.’
He thought about it for a moment, but then recalled the story he heard from Seol-ah Choi and shook his head.
Just like it was with Choi Seol-ah. He wanted to be celebrated in a proper atmosphere.
If so, the day before we meet like this. It wasn’t a good idea to tell the story in the evening hours.
Shouldn’t we at least give Choi Min-seok time to properly organize his thoughts and congratulate him?
For this meeting, I decided to meet as a sponsor, spend a reasonable amount of time, and tell the story before the next meeting, so I sent a reply.
[〉It’s okay during dinner time.]
Since it had been quite a while since we had seen each other, she wanted to meet in the daytime and enjoy the date properly, but now she was unable to free up her schedule.
She could have postponed the meeting to another day like before, but she couldn’t relax like she used to, thinking that Choi Seol-ah might snatch up that empty space.
A moment after sending the reply. Choi Min-seok responded again saying that he would pick her up in time for dinner, and Lee Eun-seol was able to return home in a much better mood for the first time in a long time.
Although I was tired in many ways today, I didn’t have time to rest to prepare for tomorrow’s date.

The reason I gave Choi Seol-ah a gift and waited a week to call Lee Eun-seol again was to give Choi Seol-ah time to meet Lee Eun-seol and show off.
If it was as I expected, Choi Seol-ah would have shown off to Lee Eun-seol the gift she received, and Lee Eun-seol, who felt a sense of competition, should have reacted.
Since there was no response even after a week, I contacted them first.
Even if she was hypnotized into wanting to brag to Lee Eun-seol, she could have quietly endured it without bragging, so it was better to check for herself than to wait any longer.
‘It’s definitely pretty at the bottom.’
I parked my car in front of the officetel and nodded with satisfaction as I watched Eunseol Lee coming out the front door.
If Choi Seol-ah has an innocent look and a sexy body, Lee Eun-seol is just as sexy, but she gives off a haughty cat-like vibe.
She naturally felt good about the fact that I had made such a proud cat-like woman into my personal pet dog.
As always, I was also satisfied with the attire, which had little exposure but subtly emphasized the body, making one imagine a naked body just by looking at it.
In my case, I was able to naturally think of her naked body because I had already seen it so much that I didn’t even have to try to imagine it.
Dalkak-
Now, without even knocking, she naturally opened the door, came in, and greeted Eunseol Lee with a light smile as always.
“It’s been a long time.”
“I guess so.”
Even though it’s been quite a while since we last met, his haughty and harsh attitude still remains.
Of course, as she had clearly taught me before, her attitude would change as if she had switched a switch when she got into bed, but I couldn’t help but feel that she was a little cocky.
“How have you been?”
“. I had a good time.”
This time too. As always, the answer is short and cold.
Although I had my own plans for today, I thought it would be better to give them a quick taste before going into the actual show.
“Silver snow.”
“. Yes?”
“Hand.”
“W-what happened all of a sudden.”
Very slightly. Lee Eun-seol’s body flinched and stiffened when she calmly lowered her voice and called out her name. In response to the slightly embarrassed response, she stretched out her palm and spoke.
“Hand.”
“…”
However, when I give him another brief command, his cheeks blush slightly, and he gently places his hand on his open palm with an expression of shame.
“Okay. You should listen carefully.”
“W-What is it? Suddenly.”
Eunseol Lee nodded and grumbled as if he was dumbfounded by what he said, but his raised hand still remained motionless.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you, so I thought you might have forgotten.”
“. I didn’t forget.”
“I guess so. Still, you didn’t listen right away at first and hesitated for a moment, right?”
“Uh, that’s it. You said it so suddenly.”
“Uh huh.”
“. I’m sorry.”
As Lee Eun-seol said, it was so sudden that it was understandable that he was a little embarrassed, but I was quite satisfied with the way he completely ignored the situation and calmly apologized despite being scolded.
“Do better from now on, okay?”
“. Yes.”
“Bow your head. I will pet you.”
“Ugh.”
Even though he makes a small trembling sound as if he is dying of embarrassment, he gently lowers his head to a position where he can be stroked, as if he wants to be stroked.
Feeling a little satisfaction from that sight, he lifted the hand that was still on hers and lightly pressed and stroked Lee Eun-seol’s head.
“Haa, sssss…”
Even in this situation, I could hear her shoulders twitching slightly and a loud breathing coming out, as if it was quite nice to have her head stroked.
