“He said you would be able to meet some familiar faces when you come.”
“Are you going to change your clothes to meet a familiar face that you don’t know who it is?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s strange.”
Eunyul tilted her head. I know that the old man is a high-ranking politician, but when he comes to the restaurant, he is no different from an ordinary grandfather. He was wearing very old, faded shoes, and I couldn’t understand why he was asking me to wear these clothes.
“Do I have to change my clothes?”
“That’s not it. “We were told to give priority to Seong Eun-yul’s opinion.”
“then… … .”
Eunyul turned away from the mannequin.
“Is there a shower room other than a locker room?”
“shower room… … “This?”
Are you planning to wash and change clothes? A question appeared on Director Park’s face.
“From what I saw earlier, it looked like a party where people wore really fancy clothes, but they took care of it so I wouldn’t be discouraged. “Indeed, even when I came to the restaurant, he treated me like his grandchild.”
I thought it wasn’t right before and came out shamelessly.
“So I try not to get discouraged. The clothes are okay. “Because you have a more gorgeous face than clothes.”
I saw Director Park’s expression change into something bizarre, but I ignored it. It wasn’t just that I was really confident in my face, but I didn’t think I would be able to get used to the unfamiliar space I saw earlier just by changing my clothes. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to wear my own clothes to relieve the awkwardness even a little?
Eunyul asked where the shower room was and said she would go alone, preventing Director Park from following her.
Director Park, who was watching Eun-yul walking away, picked up his cell phone and made a call.
“Yes, Senator. As the congressman said, clothes… … “You didn’t receive it.”
The congressman’s chuckle came out like a cell phone ringing, as if he was happy that his prediction was correct.
* * *
Meanwhile, Eunyul, who came to the powder room after washing, messed up her wet hair and pushed it back. Because nothing was applied, some of it flowed back down to the front, but it didn’t matter because his face was exposed. Eunyul, who was checking the condition of her face in the mirror, suddenly sighed, wondering what was going on.
“What are you doing here… … .”
I should have gotten clothes, I thought it would be less awkward if I wore my own clothes… … . It’s already too late to regret it.
As I was smoothing out the wrinkles in my clothes, thinking about leaving, two people entered the powder room. They took one look at Eunyul’s clothes and ignored him, as if they thought he was not a very important person.
The two men looked at their faces in the mirror and continued talking among themselves.
“You postponed your engagement?”
“They say it’s because of Prosecutor Hyun?”
“Then what about marriage?”
“We’re not even engaged, so do you know when we’ll get married?”
engagement? marriage?
Eunyul had a lot of doubts in her mind about the conversation that she could hear without even trying.
“Maybe that’s why?”
“What?”
“Hyun Je-ha went to study abroad.”
“Why can’t I wait to study abroad? “Honestly, if you two get married, will it only be good for you?”
“okay? I thought differently… … . “There’s that gangster.”
“Gangster?”
“Why… … .”
The man who continued talking as if frustrated took a glance at Eunyul and closed his mouth.
“There is such a thing. Anyway, Kang Ha-jun is still alone.”
“Is it that important?”
“It’s important. “There is still a chance.”
The man smiled confidently. At the same time, Eunyul stopped breathing at the sweet scent wafting from the powder room. It is Omega’s pheromone.
“If you capture Kang Ha-jun’s heart with this pheromone… … Who knows, maybe I’ll be his omega.”
“So much.”
The other man laughed and went out first, and the man who was emitting pheromones leisurely followed. Eun-yul, left alone again, looked in the mirror like before.
“Kang Ha-jun isn’t married?”
Instead of looking at my own face, I think of someone’s face as if reflected in a mirror.
* * *
As Eunyul came out, all she could think about was Hajun Kang.
I thought he was definitely married and I thought he might even have a child who looked like him. However, I couldn’t help but be taken aback because the reality was completely different from the original story I knew.
‘Shouldn’t we have been lovers who could die forever? She went on some kind of study abroad trip and wasn’t even engaged… … .’
Is there something else that happened that I don’t know about? I wanted to, but since I didn’t know anything, nothing came to mind. If I didn’t ask directly, my imagination would only continue to be limited.
“for a moment.”
Eun-yul, who had been focusing only on why Kang Ha-jun wasn’t married yet, was struck by a truth that struck her like a lightning bolt.
“So that means Kang Ha-jun has one child.”
And my son, Sky, is one.
“… … What happens if Haneul is found out to be Kang Ha-jun’s son? “Isn’t that being taken away?”
I felt like every single word I spoke out of anxiety was choking me.
“no. “You’re not the type of person to care about such things.”
Just as you don’t remember who you spent the night with, at least one child born outside… … .
“ha.”
Actually, I knew it didn’t make sense. Even if it’s just one night, you don’t care, the bloodlines are different. This meant that there was no guarantee that it would just pass by even if you knew about it.
Why did you call me here… … Did I make him hear something he wouldn’t have heard if he hadn’t come here?
“ah? no way… … .”
Being able to meet the nice person you mentioned… … .
“Seong-eun-yul, what are you doing like this?”
Eunyul looked at the person who called her name. He was accompanied by two other people and it was my first time seeing him. No, you might know his previous last name as Yul, but he might be someone you don’t know much about now.
Is this the man you were talking about?
‘Well, who knows what’s between us?’
Of course, I assumed I was going to meet Kang Ha-jun.
I felt sorry for myself for thinking that I was something for no reason.
“hey.”
Eunyul raised her head at the call of the man blocking her path.
“What happened? I heard you completely screwed up… … .”
The two other men standing next to him chuckled at the man’s sarcasm.
“That arrogant kid who was covered in luxury goods from head to toe and wouldn’t even look at cheap clothes has become a complete beggar.”
The man lifted Eunyul’s t-shirt and put it down as if he were picking up a rag. Even when he mocked her asking where she could buy something like this, Eunyul kept her mouth shut and did not respond.
“That high nose has all collapsed. The most unsightly Seong Eun-yul I’ve ever seen… … “Are you crying now?”
The man who had been openly looking down from his head and laughing at me asked in surprise when he raised his gaze again. Eunyul’s face was distorted and half of her eyes were covered in tears. Eun-yul said, looking so precarious that she couldn’t tell when the cold tears were about to fall.
“Why is it not Seong Eun-yul from back then, but Seong Eun-yul who is all ruined?”
“Seong Eun-yul, who ruined everything, why are you crying anyway?”
“I do it because I’m sad.”
Eunyul cried openly without covering her face.
Since he had already become Seong Eun-yul, he did not commit suicide even though it was unfair. He comforts her by saying that he has Haneul now thanks to the choice he made back then, but honestly, it would be a lie if he said he didn’t regret the time when Seong Eun-yul was a rich man. It was such a waste that she wore luxury goods from head to toe, so I wanted to squeeze her breasts.
That was it. It was definitely not because of the anxiety of losing Haneul to Kang Ha-jun.
“I’m holding on well, so why are you poking me where it hurts?”
“No, I didn’t mean that… … . don’t cry “Are you saying I did something wrong?”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be this sad.”
“don’t cry. Stop it. “Try taking a snot.”
The man was so anxious that he didn’t know what to do, and the two men next to him were also confused and didn’t know what to do.
“A long time ago, when I was flirting with you, you didn’t let me down. Who would have thought that you would end up like this? Shall I give you a towel? Do you want some water? “If I eat something, will the tears stop?”
Where is this place right now? The man looked at his father behind Eunyul and tried to end the situation quickly.
“If you have sympathy, give it in money.”
“money?”
“You laughed at my failure. Yes, I’m screwed.”
Eunyul’s crying gradually stopped as she reached out for her wallet as if she really wanted to give it to her.
I didn’t cry so much that my face got wet, but I felt somewhat frustrated. After that, I was embarrassed that I cried, so I was joking, but when I actually took out my wallet, Eunyul looked at me with anticipation without even realizing it. Why is he so nice?
“How much is it? How much is it for you…” … .”
“Why are you trying to buy people here with money?”
A low voice rang out coldly, and the four people, including Eunyul, froze like ice. In particular, the man who opened the wallet in front of Eunyul slowly turned his head to check on his partner and could not hide his embarrassment.
“This is why I told him to give me sympathy if he was going to cry and pay for it… … .”
The man seemed to feel that the more he spoke, the more his words became tangled, and now his face was contorted as if he wanted to cry. If it were a suitable person, I would make excuses as to what happened, but the person in front of me is ‘Kang Ha-jun’.
Kang Ha-jun’s disapproving gaze looked down at the man’s wallet and muttered.
“It would be better to do it in moderation. Otherwise, something might happen to your father. “There is a son who commits such an indecent act in front of the assemblyman. How can his father be nominated?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Instead of explaining his injustice, the man bowed closely to Eun-yul and Kang Ha-jun, apologized, and walked away. As the others who were watching also disappeared, only Eun-yul and Kang Ha-jun remained.
“What is this…?” … .”
Eunyul blinked, bewildered by the situation that had gone so crazy. Because of this, the tears that remained in her eyes ran down her cheeks. Eunyul wiped away her tears and turned away from Kang Hajun.
“Why did you come here?”
“… … .”
Eun-yul slowly turned her head and looked at Kang Ha-jun. Why did I come here? … .
