Episode 149
“Haa-“
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ sighed deeply.
‘Cha Jiyoon’ turned on her cell phone.
Then I started going through the contact list.
“…Who should I drink with?”
The bar that ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ made a reservation was a high-end bar in Hannam-dong.
To go there, you definitely needed one companion.
And the companion was of the opposite s*x.
Zeuk-
Zeuk-
Cha Ji-yoon began to download her contact information at a rapid pace.
Then her fingers stopped at one place.
It was a contact number with the name [Nam Do-yoon] Written on it.
“…Let’s keep going down for now.”
First, she started taking down her contact information over and over again.
Zeuk-
Zeuk-
However, that contact soon came to an end.
“…Is this person the only one?”
The only men in her contact list are those she met through official work.
He is the president of a business partner or the son of a member of the National Assembly.
I have never had a single private conversation with these people.
The only person I had even a little bit of private conversation with was ‘Nam Do-yoon.’
“…But this person must be quite busy.”

‘Cha Ji-yoon’ shook his head and said.
‘Nam Do-yoon’ is currently spending his daily life busily seeking revenge on Mine, who killed his parents.
So, does he have time to drink with me?
“…Hmm-“
Cha Jiyun wiggled his fingers.
Should I still call? Maybe he’s had a really bad day today and wants to drink.
No. For him, every day must have been a continuation of hell.
He must have always been gritting his teeth to get revenge on his parents.
Quietly hiding his power. Sharpening the blade of vengeance in the abyss.
“…Uhm-“
The phone button does not press immediately.
Cha Ji-yoon squatted down on one side of the garden and repeatedly tried to press and release the phone button.
“…I can’t do it either..”
The moment when ‘Charge Yoon’ takes his finger off the phone button again.
Meow-
A voice came from behind ‘Cha Ji-yoon’.
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ was startled and turned his gaze towards that place.
“…Ah.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ breathed a sigh of relief.
It was just an ordinary cat.
“…How did you get in here?”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said with a gentle smile.
She really likes looking at cats and dogs.
Meow-
The cat cried again.
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ smiled happily and stroked the cat’s head.
“…Cute.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’s’ cheeks turned slightly red.
That moment.
“Hello?”
A man’s voice was heard from Cha Ji-yoon’s cell phone.
Cha Ji-yoon looked at her cell phone with a surprised expression.
The name of [Nam Do-yoon] Was written there.
“…No way.”
When she was startled by the sound of a cat crying, she seemed to have touched the phone button without realizing it.
“Hello? “What’s going on?”
Nam Do-yoon’s voice continued to be heard.
****
Tiriring-
I looked at my phone when I heard it ringing.
Then he tilted his head.
The sender was [Cha Ji-yoon].
Does she need to contact me?
“Hello?”
First, I received a phone call.
However, Cha Ji-yoon’s voice could not be heard.
“Hello? “What’s going on?”
After that, there was silence for 5 seconds, and then ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ spoke.
“…Are you okay with the time?”
“Time?”
“…Yes. Of course, you are very busy, but I would really appreciate it if you could spare a moment.”
“What are you doing this for?”
“…..”
After that, silence continued for about 10 seconds again.
After that, the voice of ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ was heard again.
“…The whiskey bar I reserved said I had to be with someone of the opposite s*x.”
“Ah… “
“…There are many people to go with, but… Yes..”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ hesitated.
“Ah… “
I let out a sigh.
Well, Jiyoon Cha has almost no personal connections.
Especially with regard to men.
They are all just relationships tied to public affairs.
I was probably the only one who had a somewhat private conversation.
“Wait a minute. By the way, a whiskey bar?”
“…Yes. “If you have the time, there are a lot of people who would go with you, even if it’s not Doyun, so you can refuse.”
“I’ll go right away. “Where should I go?”
I spoke before Cha Ji-yoon’s voice finished.
I also really wanted to drink.
Because of the story I heard from the president, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep soundly today.
I think I should go and drink some stronger alcohol.
***
I soon arrived at the bar.
The clothes of the people there were all decorated with luxury goods.
The name of the bar is [‘Malino Whiskey’]
It was a high-end whiskey bar in Hannam-dong.
“..Welcome.”
When the bartender saw me, he lowered his head.
No, more accurately, I lowered my head when I saw ‘Cha Ji-yoon’ next to me.
“…Yes. Hello.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ bowed his head.
Her clothes today looked quite luxurious.
Black dress and white earrings.
It matched her pale skin quite well.
“…Then let’s sit down.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ sat in front of the bartender.
I also sat next to her.
I looked at her and said.
“What would you like to eat?”
“…Yes?”
“First, let me show you here.”
I showed her the back page of her menu.
There were some of the most expensive whiskeys in this bar.
If it were her, she would probably only drink the highest quality whiskey.
I will choose to eat among these.
“You can choose what you want to eat here. “Don’t you know the taste because you eat it a lot on a regular basis?”
“…What… Yes.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ nodded and said.
“…”
‘Charge Yoon’ looked at her menu board in silence for a while.
“Aren’t you ordering it?”
I said with a puzzled expression.
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said as he closed the menu.
“…I will just eat what ‘Doyun’ eats.”
“Yes?”
“…I’ve tried a lot of these things, but today I want to try something different.”
“Ah.. Yes.”
No matter how I look at it, it seems like a lie.
I decided to move on for now.
“Bartender.”
“Yes.”
“Here, two Johnnie Walkers, please.”
“Yes. All right.”
Soon the bartender poured us two glasses of Johnnie Walker.
“…”
Cha Ji-yoon just looked at it without saying a word.
“Are you not eating?”
I said.
“…I have to eat.”
Cha Ji-yoon raised his glass.
Soon Cha Ji-yoon brought the glass to his mouth.
Soon he just took one shot at the glass.
“…Off”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said with a pained expression.
Perhaps she is quite bitter towards her.
However, it soon returned to its original expressionless expression.
“…Well, it’s not bad. “It’s not as good as what I usually eat, though.”
“…”
I looked at her blankly.
“…What is on my face?”
“No. “Can I ask you one thing?”
“..Yes.”
“Is this your first time trying whiskey today?”
“…What is that?”
The moment I heard those words.
Cha Ji-yoon’s pupils shook slightly.
I said with a grin.
“I’ve never seen anyone drink whiskey in one shot like that.”
“…I usually eat like this.”
“Ah..Yeah, that’s right.”
“…It’s true.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ said with a pouting expression.
“Here are the snacks.”
The ‘bartender’ soon handed me the snacks I ordered.
There were a huge variety of high-quality fish cut into sashimi shapes.
“Would you like to eat first?”
I told Cha Ji-yoon.
“..Yes.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ picked up the chopsticks and picked up the swordfish belly.
Then I put it into my mouth.
“…”
She started chewing.
However, his expression was not very good.
As expected, it doesn’t seem to suit her taste.
“Bartender.”
“Yes.”
“..Can I ask you something?”
“Yes. “Tell me.”
“Can I just order one chicken here?”
“…Yes. “It’s possible, but…”
The ‘bartender’ looked around.
Only the tables of people at the bar were filled with high-quality snacks.
“Then, please.”
As I said that, I handed the bartender a 50,000 won bill.
“Yes. All right. Then, I will order it right away.”
Not long after, the chicken came out.
“Here’s the chicken you ordered.”
The chicken looked quite appetizing.
The smell alone was enough to make my mouth water.
I picked up a piece of the chicken leg.
Then I felt Cha Ji-yoon’s eyes following the leg.
There was swordfish belly in her chopsticks.
“Would you like to eat this?”
I spoke to ‘Cha Ji-yoon.’
“..No. I’m fine. “This suits my taste better.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ took the swordfish belly into her mouth.
And then he chewed it thoroughly.
However, it doesn’t look particularly delicious.
It seemed like he was forcing himself to eat because he had to.
“Just switch with me and eat it.”
I said.
“…But, that’s a little… “
“Just change it and eat it.”
I changed the food and chicken placed in front of her.
“…Well. Then there is nothing I can do.”
She picked up a piece of chicken.
“..I don’t particularly like it, but you’re asking me that much.”
‘Cha Ji-yoon’ took a big bite of chicken.
I soon started chewing.

Then, unlike before, I saw her eyebrows slightly raised.
