As Namgoonghyuk spoke while rubbing the back of his head with his hand, Hyeonjeha narrowed his eyes to think about what he meant.
“Kang Ha-jun’s pheromones don’t hurt. “I thought you felt more relieved than I did.”
“What nonsense.”
Hyun Jae-ha showed a sensitive mood for the first time since coming to the restaurant.
“I’ve had enough now, Hajun and you… … No. “If I had to be honest, you would be more comfortable than Ha-jun.”
“I… … “It’s comfortable?”
“Because he’s a comfortable partner.”
“ah… … .”
Namgoonghyuk trailed off as he seemed to be saying that being a comfortable partner does not mean being seen as an alpha. And Hyun Jae-ha, who noticed it right away, looked at him pitifully.
“What is there to be so disappointed about? “You knew everything.”
“yes.”
“And I have no relationship with Ha-jun now. “Did you forget?”
In response to Hyun Je-ha’s question, Namgung-hyuk slapped the table with his spoon and raised his head.
“betrothal.”
“that’s right. “If everything goes according to plan, it will be the engagement ceremony of Kang Ha-jun and Seong Eun-yul.”
“You two are getting engaged? Do you really think you can get engaged? Rep. Kang will be there too.”
“It might be possible if we can take advantage of the situation.”
We’ll have to see what happened later, but that’s what Hyun Je-ha was thinking right now.
“I sent Seongyul on time. It was the right time to introduce it, so you wouldn’t have missed it. “We even captured Rep. Kang, but the reason we can’t do it is because Kang Ha-jun’s abilities are not up to par.”
Hyun Jae-ha worked quite diligently for the engagement ceremony. She bought clothes that fit Eun-yul’s size in advance, and had someone report on the situation in the hall, and helped her put Eun-yul in.
And since he had even arrested Congressman Kang through his father to prevent him from interfering with Eun-yul right away, he was encouraged to think that the engagement ceremony would have proceeded as is. If the engagement ceremony was ruined despite all the preparations, there was nothing I could do about it.
“If everything goes well without screwing up, will Seong Eun-yul really become Kang Ha-jun’s fiancé?”
Namgoonghyuk put down his spoon and opened the beer he brought earlier. It was a beer that Eunyul had been saving for cooking in the kitchen, but had actually bought for herself.
“I guess so.”
“Are you okay?”
“what. Are you completely breaking up with Hajun? Or did you push Seong Eun-yul to Ha-jun?”
“both.”
Hyun Je-ha thought for a moment and smiled slightly.
“It’s nothing.”
“really… … easy?”
Even though Namgoonghyuk confirmed it one more time as if he didn’t believe it, Hyunjaeha didn’t erase his smile.
“I feel rather relieved. “I held on to it even though I knew it wouldn’t work from the beginning, but now I feel like I have an excuse to let go.”
“If you… … .”
Namgoonghyuk turned his head away from Hyeonjeha, pretending to drink beer. I was realizing that my long-time crush had broken up with Alpha, so I had to comfort him, but other thoughts kept trying to creep in. She barely suppressed her laughter earlier, but now, perhaps because she drank beer, her facial muscles couldn’t move as they should.
“I can see you smiling.”
Namgoonghyuk put down his beer as if embarrassed.
“This is… … “It’s because of Eunyul, Seong Eunyul.”
Namgoong-hyuk dragged Eun-yul for no reason when he could have revealed it honestly.
“Honestly, it’s a good opportunity for Seong Eun-yul. “How great would it be for the girl who gave birth to Kang Ha-jun’s child and lived hiding in a corner like this to become Kang Ha-jun’s fiancé?”
“You don’t know that.”
While Hyun Je-ha was shaking his head, Lim Bong-soon, who had left the restaurant, came in.
“Ah, this beer… … therefore… … .”
Namgung-hyuk was trying to excuse that he was drinking beer because he was feeling sick, but Lim Bong-soon looked around the restaurant.
“Where is the sky?”
“yes? “The sky?”
And as soon as he realized who Lim Bong-sun was looking for, Hyun Je-ha’s face hardened.
In the car on the way to Suni’s restaurant to pick up Haneul, Eunyul couldn’t console her distraught mind.
“why?”
“Because of the sky.”
Eunyul was worried about what to say, but she just opened up and brought out everything that was in her head.
“It would be nice to have an engagement ceremony with Haneul, but you have to tell the child before that. “I don’t think Haneul knows what happened, but I think I was only thinking about myself.”
While I was sorting out my feelings for Kang Ha-jun, Haneul expanded the family circle on her own.
“I’m also sorry I didn’t tell you before.”
Sky wasn’t a baby who didn’t know anything, so he didn’t tell me in detail. My heart was heavy because I felt like I was hiding it from a child who would have understood if I had explained it to him.
Kang Ha-jun seemed to be concerned about Eun-yul’s feelings and held her hand.
“It’s not too late.”
“Is that so?”
“okay. Let’s explain step by step what happened to us. “I will wait until heaven says he will accept me.”
Eun-yul couldn’t help but smile despite Kang Ha-jun’s words that he would never force the child. The strange feeling in his stomach from earlier was dragging down his mood. Eunyul tried to calm down by breathing so deeply that his chest moved noticeably.
* * *
“I’m here.”
As Eunyul entered the restaurant, she noticed my clothes again and awkwardly adjusted them. After changing her clothes, I came back and found that she was still in her suit. I wondered what Haneul would say if he saw this. But she didn’t get an answer back.
“Grandma, sky?”
It was time to do business, but not only was there no one there, but the dishes that hadn’t been put away were also left disorganized on the tables. At the unfamiliar sight she saw for the first time while visiting Suni’s restaurant, Eunyul’s expression hardened and she went inside.
“Grandma, Grandma Lim Bong-soon.”
When Eunyul entered the kitchen, where she was likely to be, there was only silence in front of her. As she looked at the kitchen, which was as disorganized as the hall, and the hangover soup she had prepared to sell today, Eunyul became increasingly anxious.
“Sky.”
Eunyul hurried out of the kitchen and opened the door next to the hall. Even if there was no sky, there was nothing in the room where even a kindergarten bag should have been placed.
“Where has everyone gone?”
Eunyul, who finally realized that the restaurant was empty, couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
“Eunyul.”
Meanwhile, Kang Ha-jun, who was making a phone call somewhere, approached Eun-yul.
“I tried calling the supermarket… … .”
Kang Ha-jun showed a complicated look in front of Eun-yul, who was trying to come to his senses for a moment, wondering when he had saved Young’s Super’s phone number.
“They say Haneul has disappeared and they are looking for it.”
As soon as Kang Ha-jun finished speaking, Eun-yul quickly ran out of the restaurant.
“Sky!”
Eunyul put her hand to her mouth and called out Sky’s name loudly and ran to find the child. All his thoughts about where he had been and what he was wearing were all lost in the wake of the fact that Haneul had lost him.
When Eun-yul left the restaurant and called Haneul, Kang Ha-jun looked around the restaurant again. As he was checking one by one to see what had changed from before, he found a cell phone among the disorganized dishes.
Kang Ha-jun’s eyes became sharp as he picked up his phone and turned on the screen. A wallpaper that seems like something you’ve seen before. She wondered if it belonged to someone she knew, so Kang Ha-jun picked up my cell phone and called… … .
Kang Ha-jun looked outside the restaurant with embarrassed eyes as he saw his name on his buzzing cell phone.
“Why is Jeha’s cell phone here… … .”
It was strange that he invited Eun-yul to the hotel and then Hyun-jae-ha came to this restaurant. Kang Ha-jun put Hyun Je-ha’s cell phone back and left the restaurant, but then he remembered something and stopped.
“Namgoonghyuk.”
Across from where Hyun Je-ha was, there was another set of spoons. I knew who the other person was without even looking. Kang Ha-jun immediately called Namgoong-hyuk.
* * *
“Holy sky!”
Namgoonghyuk, who was running in all directions and shouting Haneul’s name, wiped the sweat from my forehead with his rough hands.
“Where on earth have you gone?”
Im Bong-soon said he was going to pick up Haneul, so he was the one guarding the restaurant instead. She didn’t know that Lim Bong-sun had sent her Haneul first, but that didn’t mean she didn’t feel responsible. A shiver ran down her spine just thinking about where that little boy might have wandered off to. She took her steps again and looked for Sky.
“Holy sky! “Sky!”
As Namgoonghyuk was calling the child’s name, his pocket rang. Namgoong Hyuk picked up his cell phone and answered the phone with an annoyed expression, wondering if someone had found Haneul.
– What happened.
Kang Ha-jun’s soft voice. It was the tone of voice that everyone knew that I was at Suni’s restaurant.
“I don’t know either. Fuck. Her grandmother went out to pick up the child, but she came in alone. “It turns out she sent her child first, but she didn’t come into the restaurant.”
– When was that?
“30 minutes ago.”
Namgoonghyuk wiped the sweat running down his temples and wondered if 30 minutes had been this long.
– What happened?
“If you knew that, would you have let it escalate like this? “All I did was talk to Jeha.”
Namgoonghyuk also flapped his front skirt as if he was frustrated. There was definitely a cold wind blowing in, but strangely, my insides were getting hotter. How much time has passed? Hajun Kang’s question was heard.
– What did we talk about?
“What does it matter now…” … Ha, just something. I asked him if he didn’t eat any more, and when he ate with Kang Ha-jun, did he eat a lot? … .”
Namgoonghyuk wondered why he would say this, but he thought back to the conversation they had earlier.
“And what… … Seong Eun-yul is a good opportunity… … Kang Ha-jun… … .”
Namgoonghyuk, who was speaking whatever came to mind, became blurred at the end of his words. What if Sky overheard their conversation? As Namgoonghyuk let out a silent sigh, Kang Hajun asked in the same calm tone as the first time.
– Where are you looking?
“I don’t know, I just wander wherever my feet take me.”
How do I know where Haneul often goes? I just walked around the neighborhood looking for Haneul.
“Are you in a restaurant now? Is there anyone there… … hello?”
Namgoonghyuk looked down at his cell phone after seeing that there was no word or reaction and that the call was cut off in the middle.
