“hey! Hyeonjaeha!”
Hyun Je-ha’s head turned as the tires of the car with the brakes applied made an unpleasant sound.
Namgoonghyuk got out of the car and ran straight to Hyunjeha. Because of the sudden stop, Namgung-hyuk grabbed Hyun Je-ha’s arms and examined her body to see if he could hear the cars behind them honking their honks.
“What happened.”
“Hey, you pheromone… … .”
Hyeonjaeha frowned at the pheromones that Namgoonghyuk emitted in excitement.
“Oh sorry.”
While Namgoonghyuk was waving his hands as if to chase away body odor, Hyunjeha took a key out of his pocket and handed it to the hotelier. While he quickly got into the car and cleared the street, Hyeonjae leisurely looked back at Namgoonghyeok.
“Are you okay?”
“Which one do you think would be bad?”
“No, it’s the same with my pheromones… … Also, I wonder if something happened because you contacted me.”
Even though Namgoonghyuk stuttered, he did not withdraw his worried gaze towards Hyeonjeha. Perhaps because he always shows the same attitude, Hyeonjeha maintained his composure despite Namgoonghyeok’s uproar and approached the hotelier.
Then, Hyun Je-ha took the car keys from the hotelier and went his way without even looking at Namgung-hyuk.
“Jeha.”
“The reason I called you was because I didn’t want to be alone.”
In response to Namgung-hyuk’s urging, Hyun Je-ha calmly explained the reason.
“Today was the day of Kang Ha-jun and my engagement ceremony.”
“what? engagement? with who?”
Namgung-hyuk stood next to Hyun Je-ha, looking embarrassed.
“You said you broke up, why are you getting engaged?”
“Rep. Kang promoted it.”
“Then you should have canceled it.”
“I tried to do that.”
Hyun Je-ha stopped and turned towards Namgung-hyuk.
“But after seeing Seong Eun-yul, my thoughts changed. I thought it would be better to use it rather than get rid of it… … .”
So, Hyun Je-ha left it alone and called Seong Eun-yul.
“Using it?”
“I was just putting Seong Eun-yul there. “Now it’s a story that has nothing to do with me.”
“uh… … “Then you’re completely with Kang Ha-jun.”
“huh. “It’s completely broken.”
Hyeon Je-ha threw the car keys to Nam Gung-hyuk. And when he got into the passenger seat, Namgoonghyuk followed Hyunjeha into the driver’s seat.
“hungry. Let’s eat.”
Namgung-hyuk gently gritted his molars at Hyun Je-ha’s innocent tone, which seemed to have completely resolved the relationship between him and Kang Ha-jun. I shouldn’t like it, but I thought it would make me laugh, so I bit my molars. We need to get Seong Eun-yul away from the evil Kang Ha-jun right now, but right now, taking care of Hyeon Je-ha comes first.
“rice? What should we eat? Should I eat that pasta I had last time? Or do you want to go eat sushi for the first time in a while?”
“… … “Hangover soup.”
Hyeon Je-ha turned his head, made eye contact with Nam Gung-hyuk, and raised his voice.
“Let’s go eat hangover soup.”
“Hangover soup?”
Namgung-hyuk was repeating what Hyun Je-ha said and asked if he wanted to say that.
“You’re Suni?”
“huh. “Let’s go there.”
Having said that, Hyun Jae-ha leaned his head on the passenger seat and closed his eyes.
“Are you going to sleep?”
“huh. “I smelled the pheromone and my head hurt.”
“good night. “Sleep well.”
The pheromone that made Hyun Je-ha tired was mine, so Namgoonghyuk took the wheel without another word.
As the car started to drive, Hyun Je-ha slowly opened his eyes.
I was curious how Kang Ha-jun would react when he saw Seong Eun-yul. I really wanted to see it in person, but I knew I shouldn’t be there, so I put my regrets aside and left.
〈I abandoned Alpha and gained a friend.〉
She abandons Kang Ha-jun and gains Seong Eun-yul. In the past, Seong Eun-yul knew that I was suffering from Alpha’s pheromones and took advantage of it. When they saw me suffering, they laughed at me as if it was fun. When he met Seong Eun-yul again, instead of repaying him in the same way, he pushed him to get along with Kang Ha-jun. I wonder why I made that choice, but Hyun Jae-ha did not regret my choice.
Because I realized that what I said about waiting for Kang Ha-jun to return would not come true after meeting Seong Eun-yul.
〈I have to curse and ask why I was bullied. I have to say that I will return it in the same way as what happened to me back then. I should at least act like a villain because I can never give up on Ha-Jun, so I fall for a meal.〉
The meal I had at that restaurant with Seong Eun-yul, who had changed, was so warm that Hyun Jae-ha seemed to have forgotten his old memories.
Stupidly and foolishly.
* * *
“What? Why did you come.”
“I came to the hangover soup restaurant to eat hangover soup, what are you coming to have fun with?”
Namgung-hyuk pulled out a chair so Hyun Je-ha could sit down and went back to the other side. And just as he was about to pull out a chair and sit down, Lim Bong-soon hit him on the back.
“Hangover soup is an afterthought, and what’s wrong with the theme of coming to play on a fake day…” … .”
Lim Bong-soon caught Namgoong-hyuk’s words as if he wasn’t even funny.
“I really came to eat today.”
“There is no food.”
Lim Bong-soon turned his head with his back to me.
“Why is there no rice at the hangover soup restaurant?”
“Time for a break.”
“You’re not talking about break time, are you?”
“Not really.”
Lim Bong-soon slapped Namgung-hyuk on the back again. This time, I didn’t mean to hit him in pain, but to get up.
“If you want to eat, work.”
“I’m going to pay for food and not work.”
“Aren’t you going to wake up quickly?”
Namgoonghyuk made a disapproving look at Lim Bong-sun’s scolding, but still got up. At the same time, she sent a look to Hyeon Je-ha, who was still watching as if watching, asking for help, but he urged her to go quickly with a glance.
Namgung-hyuk, who was betrayed by Hyeon Je-ha, whom he trusted, followed Lim Bong-soon with a tearful face.
“Come on in.”
And when Lim Bong-soon entered the kitchen first, Namgung-hyuk hesitated, then heard a sharp shout and was so moved that he disappeared beyond the kitchen door.
“That’s fun.”
I don’t know how long he’s been frequenting this restaurant, but it was surprising to see how close Namgoong Hyuk was to the restaurant owner.
Hyun Je-ha fell down on the table while listening to the conversation between Lim Bong-soon and Namgung-hyuk coming from the kitchen.
Today, I smelled Alpha’s pheromones with my sensitive nerves, and my body felt heavy as if it had been made of rebar. Hyeonjaeha lowered his heavy eyelids.
“Don’t eggs taste best when they are cracked open? What kind of sieve are you going to use? … .”
“Be loud and do what you’re told.”
“Are you really afraid that if I wake up, I’ll fall into a shell? “No matter how bad I am at cooking, something like this breaks easily.”
“Close your mouth and do it.”
Namgoonghyeok’s grumbling disappeared due to Lim Bongsun’s short reply, which he didn’t hear, but it lasted at most for a minute.
Namgoonghyuk opened his mouth again, and Hyunjaeha fell into sleep with the sound of Lim Bongsun’s scolding as background music.
“I really can’t do this. Jehaya. We’re just somewhere else… … .”
Namgung-hyuk ran out of the kitchen and tried to tell Hyun Je-ha to leave, but when he found him asleep, he covered his mouth.
“This guy. They tell me to eat something, but I don’t like that either… … .”
“Shh.”
Namgung-hyuk placed his index finger on the mouth of Lim Bong-sun, who was coming to catch him.
“song. go. What do you want me to make? egg roll? And? “I will make everything.”
“You make everything? Then, do you have to make something for the afternoon business? Do you have time to do that too?”
“sun. sun. “I do it all.”
Namgung-hyuk, who didn’t want to wake Hyun Je-ha, turned Lim Bong-soon’s shoulder and went back into the kitchen.
Before heading to the kitchen, Namgung-hyuk saw Hyun Je-ha’s sleeping face. Even though he said he was sleeping in the car earlier, I realized he couldn’t sleep. However, it was nice to see his relaxed expression, even though he was in an uncomfortable position now compared to when he was in the car.
“I thought you would be upset because it was Kang Ha-jun’s engagement ceremony… … .”
Namgoonghyuk, who felt fortunate, said to Lim Bongsun.
“But did someone cast a spell on Suni’s here? “When they come here, the kids just become mellow and comfortable, right?”
Namgoonghyuk tilted his head and said one word.
“It seems like the store has become outdated… … .”
Im Bong-soon’s ladle flew through the air as she said these words while thinking of Eunyul.
* * *
While Kang I-heum was explaining the situation to the people, Eun-yul, who had even changed her clothes, stood next to Kang Ha-jun and received congratulations from the people.
The engagement ceremony proceeded peacefully as the people who were confused at first accepted Eunyul’s existence one by one.
“You two get along very well. “See you at the wedding.”
“Yes, I will meet and greet you like this again then.”
“I’m fine.”
The man happily shook hands with Eunyul and then returned to his companion. After being alone for a moment, Eunyul took a deep breath.
“Whoa.”
“are you okay?”
Eun-yul turned to Kang Ha-jun at the sound of a hand on her shoulder and a gentle voice.
“yes. “It’s okay except I’m nervous.”
