“Oh my, he. Isn’t it Yesul?”
At the middle-aged woman’s question, a woman with a characteristic dark hair turned her head indifferently.
Putting on her glasses, she looked at him for a moment and then nodded slightly.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Who is next to you? Which family are you from?”
“I do not know.”
“Let’s go, schedule, you too, follow me soon!”
The woman let out a small sigh as she looked at her.
They soon approached the place where Jin Ye-seul was dancing with a boy who seemed to be a classmate with a wide smile.
And at the fact that Jin Ye-seul could smile like that, her older sister and Urea’s youngest professor, Jeong-jeong Jin, moved her eyebrows as if slightly surprised.
Jin Ye-seul’s younger brother, Ye-jun Jin, who had a good relationship with Jin Ye-seul, was also surprised.
However, the middle-aged woman looked dissatisfied with the situation.
She painstakingly refined her expression and painted the most elegant smile in her opinion.
“ah.”
Jin Ye-seul, who found her, immediately hardened her expression, as if she had ever smiled like that, and looked at her with inorganic eyes like glass beads.
When she met that gaze, she flinched slightly, but then tried to smile with a cracked smile.
“Oh my, boy. If you see an adult, you should say hello.”
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul stopped moving when she appeared, and the other party who was dancing naturally also stopped moving.
In that brief moment, she quickly moved her eyes to scan her opponent’s face, and thought quietly.
The clothes aren’t cheap, but they aren’t good either.
Her looks are still nice to look at, but she likes… I’m not the ‘courteous and sincere type’.
Her sharp eyes look like Jin Ye-seul, who is rebellious.
It was the first thing I saw there.
She was also well aware that Ivan Hunt, the man who felt a commotion behind him and turned his head, was the suddenly-appearing young owner of the fallen Hunt family.
In a word, it was said that the background of the boy she did not remember would be terrible.
“Will you not even introduce me to who you are?”
“… Why?”
Jin Ye-seul slowly came forward and asked.
At the words, as if she didn’t really know the reason, the woman felt tears in her eyes and her anger build up.
“Hey, haven’t you gotten over the habit of babbling like that yet?”
However, as if she did not want to admit that she was excited about her daughter Jin Ye-seul at best, she smiled softly and looked at the man.
“It’s my first time seeing it. This is Park Hee-sun, the mother of Yesul.”
“ah.”
Then the man immediately bowed his head and said hello.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Yoo Ji-hyuk. Yesul and I are in the same class and we are close friends.”
“Hey, my friend… .”
Jin Ye-seul’s eyes trembled softly at the tone that said, “I can’t believe you’re a friend to a kid like you.”
She quickly hid Yoo Ji-hyuk behind her and stepped forward.
“If you’re here to filter your fertilization, why don’t you just go and have your favorite wine?”
“What?”
Jin Ye-seul smiled a little and muttered.
“Even though you didn’t even know how to read a logo properly for eating like that.”
“this… !”
Then, a woman sneaked out in front of me.
It was her older sister, Jin-jeong.
Jin Ye-seul frowned when the second person she hated appeared in front of her eyes.
“It shows up one after another. Is there anyone there?”
“My father was busy, so he couldn’t come.”
Unlike Jin Ye-seul, Jin Ye-seul answered in a quiet voice.
“That’s very fortunate.”
“… You look healthier than that.”
Jin Ye-seul snorted.
“What do you mean, you’re pretending to think because you’re in front of other people? Stop it because it’s disgusting.”
Then, gradually, people started to pay attention.
A middle-aged woman who noticed it moved her fingers gently, and then a wine glass placed on the table next to Jin Ye-seul spilled to the side and wet her dress.
it should have been
“… huh.”
Han Soo-young, who was secretly hiding behind Choi Hyun-woo, snorted and moved his fingers quickly.
Then, the wine that should have been poured on Jin Ye-seul was poured on her.
“Ahhh!!!”
The sharp scream immediately drew people’s attention.
As the dress got soaked in wine, she tried to wipe it off in vain.
“this… !”
Then, the woman immediately slapped Jin Ye-seul’s cheek with a sharp hand.
Jin Ye-seul’s head turned to the side with the sound of jaak.
There was a moment of silence, and Yoo Ji-hyuk’s eyes became as thin as snakes.
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul, who was about to move at any moment, grabbed his hand roughly and stopped, shaking her head slightly.
Then he slowly turned his head to look at the woman who slapped her on the cheek.
“Where am I going to get hurt by hitting like that?”
“this person… !”
It was a time when the angry woman didn’t know what to do.
A middle-aged man stomped in as if waiting.
“What fuss is this?”
“Ah, the CEO.”
A middle-aged woman who immediately recognized that he was a member of the Naseong group, immediately screamed in pain.
At that moment, Jin-jeong shook her head slightly.
“No, well… That kid… !”
She spoke as if Jin Ye-seul had poured wine on her.
Hearing that, he said he was right and looked at Jin Ye-seul, more precisely, Yoo Ji-hyuk.
“What are you looking at right now? Come on, apologize to your wife! No matter how rude, even in a place like this… ttt.”
He was famous as a person who never forgot his grudge, and he did not forget that his only son, Il-jun Na, was humiliated and lost for a while because of Yoo Ji-hyuk.
It was when Yoo Ji-hyuk opened his mouth, who burst into laughter at his demeanor.
“Is it okay to persecute young students so unjustly?”
It was a beautiful voice.
I looked to the side and saw a young woman looking at Nile-sung and Park Hee-sun with cold eyes.
She was such a young woman that I wondered if she had just turned twenty.
‘Silver hair?’
Yoo Ji-hyuk looked at her in embarrassment.
There was only one silver hair he knew in this world.
However, it belonged to men, if it were to be judged by gender.
It wasn’t that he had such an unreasonably beautiful appearance.
“… Who the hell is that lady?”
“Does it matter who I am?”
Nil-seong, who was momentarily speechless, asked in a calm voice.
Then he looked around and opened his mouth as if to listen to the people gathered as if watching.
“I happened to see it from a distance, but it was a sight that I couldn’t understand no matter how I looked at it, so I intervened.”
“… Then you’d better leave, miss. As you can see, this is a personal family story.”
“Isn’t that director also an outsider?”
At her question, Nile-Sung kept her mouth shut.
Seeing her seemingly overpowering others for some reason, Yoo Ji-hyuk nodded slightly as if he understood now.
White hair that looks like silver hair.
look younger.
And it looks like a mixture of Choi Hyun-woo and Han Soo-young.
It was clear that Nam Hyeon-hwa had become younger due to his unique skill, phantom metamorphosis.
… But why the hell is she here?
While he was thinking quietly, another person appeared.
It was Ahn Joo-hyuk.
“Five… ! Director Ahn Joo-hyuk!”
At the appearance of Ahn Joo-hyuk, Nile-sung showed a triumphant expression.
It was typical of a person who regards the power of others as his own.
Ahn Joo-hyuk, who gently held out his hand to restrain him, bowed his head slightly.
“It’s been a while, CEO.”
After a brief greeting, he immediately looked at Yoo Ji-hyuk.
Then he approached him in a very friendly manner and spoke to him.
“Hey, it’s been a really long time. Have you not forgotten me?”
Yoo Ji-hyeok smiled as if he knew the sound of a very welcoming voice.
“Yes. I haven’t seen you since that day.”
“So that’s it. I wonder how cheap Myeongjun is… Do you know how much attention we pay in case our guild takes it away?”
“haha… .”
At that sight, Nile-sung seemed to be a bit perplexed.
he asked cautiously.
“that… Do you know each other?”
“Ah, yes. Yes. He’s my coveted friend… Myung-Jun Lee, that guy made a point first. It was disappointing in many ways.”
When Lee Myung-jun’s name appeared, Nile-sung made a mysterious expression and nodded his head.
Even Joo-hyuk Ahn could not handle it, and even a tycoon named Myung-jun Lee came out.
“But I saw it earlier… It seems that there was a misunderstanding on both sides. How about just skipping this one? There is no need to shout out loud on a good day, right?”
Ahn Joo-hyuk smiled like that and looked down at Nile Castle.
“And children learn by watching adults. In such a case, I wonder what it would be like to behave like an adult, but what do you think of the director?”
“that… .”
Nile Castle, who had been blatantly disgraced, trembled in anger and shame.
Then he spit out a word of ‘I’m sorry’ as if tossing it, and then immediately ran away with a thumping footstep.
“How is your wife?”
At Ahn Joo-hyuk’s words, Park Hee-sun also kept her mouth shut.
“Are you on the side of those children now?”
“Surely, I’m thinking about your wife’s face.”
Park Hee-sun looked at the three of them in turn as if in a bad mood, then turned back and walked away.
Then, Jeong-jeong Jin bowed her head, saying that she was sorry for causing a disturbance around her, and quietly followed her.
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul then released Yoo Ji-hyuk’s wrist, which he had been holding tightly.
He tried to take the handkerchief out of his arms, but when he realized it was stained with blood, he reached out cautiously.
“… Are you okay?”
“yes. It doesn’t hurt at all.”
As Yoo Ji-hyeok gently touched her cheek, Jin Ye-seul laughed softly.
“It was red and swollen, but what… .”
As he mumbled, he bowed his head towards Ahn Joo-hyuk and young Nam Hyun-hwa.
“Thank you for your help.”
“Thank you, I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner.”
Ahn Joo-hyuk said so and reached out to Jin Ye-seul’s cheek.
For a moment, his hand seemed to shine, but then her cheek was back to normal.
“Then see you later.”
With those words, he waved his hand and left.
Meanwhile, Lee Yu-na touched Jin Ye-seul’s cheek as if worried, and Han Soo-young reached out and repaired the torn part of Jin Ye-seul’s dress.
“Well… .”
In the meantime, Nam Hyeon-hwa looked at Han Soo-young wearing the necklace well, Yoo Ji-hyuk, and them in a strange atmosphere, and nodded slightly.
“Then I will go. Please have fun.”
As she left, the attention of the crowd gradually faded.
Jin Ye-seul said quietly.
“Sorry, I ruined the mood.”
“I know. What the hell is this?”
Han Soo-young responded like that and patted Jin Ye-seul and Yoo Ji-hyuk’s shoulders.
“Then go ahead and dance.”
“uh?”
Han Soo-young whispered to her, pushing Jin Ye-seul’s shoulder, who seemed surprised for a moment, once more.
“If I stop like this, won’t you later call me a coward?”
Han Soo-young smiled a little.
“So I can take it again with peace of mind.”
At that, Jin Ye-seul smiled as well.
Then, with a voice telling him not to regret later, he grabbed Yoo Ji-hyuk’s hand and led him back to the center of the hall.
“… … .”
Lee Yu-na, who saw it right next to her, thought that it was fortunate that Jin Ye-seul seemed to have regained her energy.
* * *
“Whoa.”
After dancing with Han Soo-young, Yoo Ji-hyuk came out of the terrace to catch his breath for a while.
He knew that Jin Ye-seul was not on good terms with his family, but what he knew and what he saw in person were also different.
The moment she was hit in the face, memories of the past came to mind and I almost ran into her without me knowing.
If Jin Ye-seul hadn’t caught on, it probably would have been.
“uh?”
Meanwhile, Yoo Ji-hyuk sniffed and sniffed.
It smelled like alcohol.
He turned his head to see where he was coming from, and was immediately startled.
“Seniors?”
“… yes?”
The cause of the smell was none other than Yeeun Lee.
She sat on a chair on the patio and looked at him with her eyes wide open as if she had fallen asleep.
“… Jihyuk?”
When she asked in a dazed voice, Yoo Ji-hyuk quickly tapped his inner pocket and touched it.
Then, the mandragora in his inner pocket dug into his clothes with a skillful movement, and he took off his robe and put it on her body, which had cooled down once.
“You catch a cold if you sleep here. But why are you here… .”
“Ahh. Well… It looked ugly.”
Yeeun Lee, who immediately regained consciousness, shook her head and regained consciousness.
But she frowned as she was still out of focus.
“Can I bring you some water?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Yeeun Lee muttered like that.
For a moment, he was a little surprised that he was covering Yoo Ji-hyuk’s robe, but it was difficult to return it now, so he held onto it tightly.
It smelled of perfume, not perfume.
But somehow it was that way, and without realizing it, I crouched down and buried my face.
“How much did you drink? If you’ve already eaten like that… .”
“Oh, not long ago! Just two cups… ! I’m just a little tired today because of something I’m worried about… !”
It must have been said that Yoo Ji-hyuk was worried, but from Lee Ye-eun’s point of view, it seemed pathetic.
Noticing that her current appearance has deviated from that of her ideal and perfect older sister, she raised her voice as if making an excuse.
“Hey, what is that junior?”
“What am I?”
“Tie, tie! It’s crooked.”
Lee Ye-eun, who quickly found Yoo Ji-hyuk’s disheveled appearance, thought this was it.
A chance to show the image of a sister you can rely on… !
She struggled to get up from her chair and held out her staggering hand.
“Come on, I’ll tie you back.”
“Okay, I can… .”
“Uh-huh!”
Yeeun Lee, who made a sound as if she was growing up a puppy, grabbed her tie.
I thought it was worthwhile to practice over and over while watching the video, just in case.
But for some reason, the tie was getting more and more messed up, far from being properly tied.

On the way, Yoo Ji-hyuk was so choked that he even let out a groan without realizing it.
“Uh, uh… This isn’t it… ?”
When I practiced, I was sure to tie it up beautifully.
I practiced a lot because I didn’t know, I might tie it to my younger brother.
I’m sure it was good back then… .
“Seeing… Why, why can’t this… ?”
Ye-eun Lee muttered in a trembling voice without realizing it.
He always wanted to be helpful and supportive, but in reality, he always looked like this.
You can’t even tie a tie properly.

Once again, she felt that she was too pathetic.
“Chi… .”
As he muttered in a weeping voice, Yoo Ji-hyuk carefully took Lee Ye-eun’s hand.
Then, holding her hand, he began to move slowly.
“Come on, you can do this.”
“ah… .”
In an instant, looking at the tie tied properly, Yeeun closed her lips.
it was again
And he couldn’t help him.
No, I’m just a hindrance.
“eww… .”
She didn’t even know if this was because of the drunkenness she still had, or if the emotions she had accumulated over the years were bursting out.
What is certain is that the action just before became a trigger to overflow a full cup.
And because of that, tears began to form in her eyes.
“Why why… .”
“Senior, wait… Are you crying now?”
“Oh, I’m not crying… why me… .”
Tears streamed down the corners of Lee Ye-eun’s eyes, which she replied while smirking.
He didn’t want to show his weakness to Yoo Ji-hyuk.
But this was already the second time.
And the second was more violent than the first.
“Uh, uh… Why are you doing this… ? weird. Why do tears keep coming… .”
She pretended not to panic, wiping away her tears with an effortless, calm look.
However, even after wiping it off, the tears did not stop flowing.
“Uh, this… That’s weird. Why, why don’t you stop… ? Why continue… .”
Yoo Ji-hyeok carefully grabbed her hand as she began to scrub with a drum drum.
Then he looked at her as if to calm down and said.
“it’s okay?”
“Yes Yes. By the way… .”
“Seniors.”
Yoo Ji-hyuk was looking at her as if he was really worried.
Even in the midst of this, she thought that her eyes were kinder than her own.
“really. Are you really okay?”
“ah.”
At that, Yeeun Lee stopped talking without realizing it.
Then he stared blankly at Yoo Ji-hyuk.
“It’s okay, it’s okay… .”
The throat starts to choke.
This time she tried to run away, but she couldn’t.
The back was a cliff, and they were alone on the terrace.
If he retreated, he had no choice but to fall, so now he had to move forward and hug him.
“Okay, fine… .”
My lips started to tremble.
The emotions she had accumulated during this time began to shake her inside as she was.
Unbeknownst to me, there was a sound of pain.
“It’s not okay… .”
Yeeun Lee muttered like that and looked at Yoo Jihyuk.
Tears were already flowing like crazy, and I couldn’t see properly.
“It can’t be okay.”
does he know
Seeing myself dancing with Jin Ye-seul from afar.
When he came to his senses, his nails were digging into his palms, and at first glance, he saw his face sitting coldly.
When he realized what emotions he was holding, he was surprised and continued to drink alcohol he had never even touched.
And above all else.
When you realize that you can’t stand in their place no matter what you do.
Realizing that, what the hell was he thinking?
If he finds out the truth, if so.
If even the slightest remaining possibility disappears.
“no… .”
I had to give up.
I didn’t even have any regrets anymore.
I had to hide even the fact that I had this kind of heart.
Those who violate the Heavenly Law will literally be punished.
That’s what I repeated to myself to know the subject and be respectful.
“Nope… .”
If I had known it would be so painful.
rather.
“I wish I didn’t know.”
That was the last word.
With her hugging and cuddling with him, Yeeun Lee literally started crying like a child.
It was the heartbreak of a person who experienced a late first love and broken heart at the same time.
* * *
“Okay, then.”
Jaejoon Lee smiled brightly.
He seemed to have enjoyed the festival to the fullest, and with food in one hand, he murmured as he looked at the building where the party was being held.
“Where shall we go to burn the World Tree?”
He got up from his seat with a groan and muttered.
“Now is the time, Svengalli.”
A crackling sound was heard.
He nodded quietly.
“Yes, now.”
squeaky sound.
“Now, let’s free Surt.”
Long ago, he started moving with the name of the giant who burned the world tree.
