Clues
Foggy Rainy Night (5)
“No, I feel awkward and uncomfortable if I drive someone else's car. It would be better if we take my car.”
This is the opportunity I have now, how can I put a bully between us? And even so, my face was not thick enough to tease her in front of others. Ji-Won smiles with a good face even though she knows that Gaon would be lethargic if she heard him. He felt a bit of pity for Gaon, who unhesitatingly nodded his head, but now was not the time for conscience.
"Yes, I understand. See you in the morning. You can go now. I have to concentrate, but I keep talking because Director Cha is here.”
"Yes sir. See you tomorrow, then.”
Ji-Won who answers coldly, politely lowers her head and leaves her seat neatly. Wow, aren't I amazing? If I wanted to, there was nothing I could not do. Ji-Won who turns the corner with a proud face slowly lowers the corner of her mouth that soars high when she meets Dok-Yeom who has a shocked expression on her face. Gosh darn. Since when is he here?
What's wrong with this crazy guy? Are you trying to tempt the CEO? How dare you…. Have you gone crazy? How can you flirt openly in a place where a dog or cow comes and goes, regardless of everything else? You didn't see anything? Although she does not open her mouth, Dok-Yeom's overwhelming feelings are conveyed through her hot eyes.
"out. Let's talk.”
"Yes, let's do it, talk."
Ji-Won and Dok-Yeom, who move to the back of the security office to avoid the employees' sight, go quiet for a while and set their minds on it. Both are embarrassed by the unexpected situation, but Ji-Won is a little faster recovering his damaged mentality than Dok-Yeom.
"Have you come to look for something in the library?"
“Oh..., I'm working on the drama from tomorrow. I happened to get a nose piercing from someone I knew. I thought it would be difficult to come to the headquarters for a while, so I will examine the unsolved long-term case…. No, that's not the problem now! Are you serious?"
"Yes." Yeah."
“Really...., really?”
"Yes." Yeah."
"Oh my God!"
When Ji-Won agrees, Dok-Yeom, who forgot what to say for a moment, opens her mouth and takes out the curse in vain. He crazy. Dok-Yeom thinks Ji-Won is an emotionless cold person because his expression is always like he won't raise his eyebrows even if a naked woman passes by. He thought he was not interested in girls like that. But a person like this only goes out when someone catches his attention. Even so, how could his eyes direct him to the CEO? It's not convenient for him to eat at one table with the CEO.
“How can you see the CEO as a woman?”
"Why can't I see her as a woman?"
"That's not what I meant. He's not an ordinary man…. How can this happen?”
"Is there a reason to have a crush on a woman?"
Dok-Yeom falls silent again due to Ji-Won's calm response. Yep. The feeling was like an accident, so he knew it was impossible with willpower…. He also knew it could not be helped with effort…. Thas right. But what's he gonna do about this?
“It's a very difficult road.”
"That's right."
“When are you so close to the CEO? I barely had a chance to meet you…. What does the CEO do to make a cold person like you be attentive and friendly? What's with that relaxed tone? Do you usually talk to girls like that? I get goosebumps because you seem like a completely different person.”
"Have you heard everything?"
"I heard it. I really don't want to hear it voluntarily, but I can't help but stay there because I'm afraid I'll wake the lion while screeching to get out.”
"thank you. I'll treat you to a meal soon.”
"Eat .. please do that."
Seeing Ji-Won smile, Dok-Yeom finds it hard to judge someone by his first impression. Ji-Won still doesn't know, but on the day she forcibly escorted the dead half a year ago, there was a stir in Jungcheon.
“Ouch! Helpme! Helpme! It's too hot! Please turn this off! Come fast!"
“Calm down, dead man. The fire is not real, so it is not hot. Look, it doesn't burn if I touch it, does it? And you are the deceased who is dead. I can't save you.”
“Hey, where am I? Where did you send me? I'm not going anywhere! Even if I go, I will go with Su-Bin! I can't go alone!”
“People die, please be quiet. I'm well aware that you're confused about being forcibly repatriated without any explanation, but you've committed too many crimes. From now on, you must take responsibility for all your mistakes. Can you see that the meter is tilted to the right?”
"Well, what is that?"
“This is a judgment meter. If you want to adjust it a little closer to the horizontal level, calm down and answer our questions sincerely from now on. Understood?"
" …cf.Yes."
“Where are you from now? Do you remember the description of the person who sent you to Jungcheon? Say whatever comes to your mind.”
He said that it was the senior guide that Zanice had not found for 22 years and caused the judges to be exhausted from the morning. After a while, Ji-Won, who walks confidently with her head raised, looks straight at Gaon at his first face-to-face meeting with CEO Jungcheon and ignores the orders he gave. It was unprecedented for Kwon, who had always been calm, to be so sad.
Truly a shameless and rude person. And there's no fear. I've never stood in front of a CEO before, but isn't that scary? I would never be close to someone like that. This is what Dok-Yeom thought at the time. However, just a few days later, at a company dinner that he attended reluctantly, Dok-Yeom sees Ji-Won again.
"May I call you brother?"
"Haa, do as you please."
It's something that not everyone knows, but Sae-Hoo who relies on her instincts like a wild animal won't stick to anyone easily or quickly. The fact that Hae-Soo, who is friendly on the outside but secretly curls away from the people, treating Ji-Won like her brother whom she met in 10 years means she judges Ji-Won at least not a very bad or rude person. .
From that day on, Dok-Yeom tries to maintain an objective perspective as much as possible, and observes Ji-Won. But he discovers that Ji-Won is surprisingly grumpy and loyal. When contacted in an emergency, never once did he refuse, even if he later swore and hit the back of his own head in regret.
Of course, he had a pretty vibrant personality, as it seemed. When the opponent came out in a clueless manner, he was also equipped with the ferocity of punishing them mercilessly, whether the opponent was a person or a ghost. Dok-Yeom thinks he's an amazing human being, but…. But he really didn't know he had a leopard heart.
"What are you going to do from now on?"
"For now, as I wish."
“That's a brave heart. Do you know how old the CEO is? He was born in the 11th century, in the Goryeo Dynasty*.”
[T/N: Goryeo ( ⁇ ) is a Korean state founded in 918, during a period of national division called the Three Late Kingdoms period, which unified and ruled the Korean Peninsula until 1392.]
"really? Does age affect love? In an era where boundaries and gender are transcended, why should I care about that? In addition, younger men like older women is a trend these days.”
“Younger men love older women…! Is this the level that can be discussed as an older woman and a younger man? How can a rational person like you go crazy? Are you really crazy?”
“That breaks my heart, Director Seo. I wasn't sure until I opened the door of my heart. I can't believe I have to wait until tomorrow morning to see his face.”
Ji-Won, who responds cunningly, laughs cheerfully as she sees Dok-Yeom's expression turn blue. Teasing Seo Dok-Yeom is fun. No matter what Yeon Hae-Soo said, she only listened to what she wanted to hear, so there was no damage at all.
“You're crazy, aren't you? You're not even crazy normal. You're totally nuts. I have to send you to the hospital. How can you say that? How long have you been like this?”
“Maybe from the beginning. Maybe the first time I saw him as CEO of Jungcheon? I've never pulled someone who pushed me away in my life, you know. But I instinctively knew that I would never see him again if I didn't make a fuss at the time. In London last week I realized my feelings. And this afternoon I decided to do something.”
“Haa. I don't know. For some reason, I'd like you to give you some advice, but I don't think you'll heed it.
Dok-Yeom, who shakes his head, reaches out in doubt, shakes in awkwardness, and pats Ji-Won on the shoulder a few times. It was a timid gesture that said, 'I can't actively push you away because my friend has always been my friend, but I hope you won't get hurt in any way.'
“By the way, what is the name of that Kalguksu restaurant? Is Kalguksu in Taebaek really good to eat?”
“Alright, I'll look for it now. Kalguksu restaurants are everywhere in the country. There are relatively many good restaurants. When I got home, I had to look through reviews of restaurants around Taebaek. I'll let you know later when I find something really good.
"…What?"
“CEO likes ramen. Such a noodle dish is easily available in Korea, Jajangmyeon or Kalguksu, but he prefers it with soup. But I can't make him go all the way to Gangwon-do and eat ramen. I don't know if it's delicious or not, but it's not good for his health.”
Dok-Yeom, who changes her expression for a moment, stares at Ji-Won from top to bottom with a critical look.
“What, your brother is a fraud, not a good person. What about the potato pancake story? You say like you really ate it. You said it was crunchy.
“There are many restaurants in Gangwon-do that serve potato pancakes as a companion. And potato pancakes are usually crispy.”
When Ji-Won looks at her with a gaze that doesn't know when to stop, Dok-Yeom smiles with a face full of helplessness. Yeah, he's wrong. Why didn't he know that Ji-Won was shameless from the start?
“Then I'm gone. Do your business well, and good luck in your drama well.”
“I'll take care of my work, so good luck to you too. If possible, do not get caught by Hae-Soo.”
“Oh, Yeon Hae-Soo! Come to think of it, I completely forgot. I'm sure he's looking for me right now. Huh, he really is a bully.”
"Be careful. Even if he had no common sense, he was an animal. If you behave a little unnaturally, he will soon notice. And you know, don't you? If Yeon Hae-soo finds out, she will tell this to everyone. He has no filter in his brain, so he can't keep any secrets.”
Ji-Won laughs at Dok-Yeom's serious advice and nods softly. Dok-Yeom's assessment of Hae-Soo is the same as Ji-Won's. If you are a guide living in the Seoul metropolitan area, everyone knows about Hae-Soo's long and long love history that began in kindergarten, the source of the rumor was his own mouth.
“Sister Ji-Won! Brother Ji-Won! Are you here? You said you'd wait for me. Where are you going?"
"I'm here. Come on come on."
Dok-Yeom let out a long sigh while looking back at Ji-Won, who lightly waved at him and stepped away. The heavy journey he was about to go through was clearly drawn in front of him, but he did not say anything and swallowed it because he thought it would be a bad seed that would spread for no reason.
