On the
day of the appointment .
While busy preparing to go out, I paused at the weather forecast from the TV that I had turned on habitually .
[ The weather is getting hotter lately. It seems that you have to be especially careful about the heat today. The sweltering heat across the country… ]
“… .”
Then he turned his head away from the TV and looked out the open living room window .
Blue sky outside the window .
There is not a single cloud in sight, so it must be quite hot today . I approached the window, wrinkled my eyebrows
in
the scorching sun, and pulled down the curtains, and , again
, I fell into deep contemplation and continued preparing to go out .
*
At the time when Yoo Ji-hwan was busy preparing to go out .
Jooyeon’s house .
Horok – Joo Hee-
hee was quietly sipping tea while looking at the two men and women sitting opposite each other .
“… … .”
A woman wearing a suit and constantly changing her posture as if she was very nervous, and a man with a sad expression .
They are the people sent by the association to bring Joo Joo-hee back .
Tak –
The moment Joo Hee put down her glass slowly, the man who was watching the timing swallowed his saliva and carefully spoke .
“ I will tell you straight-forward. Please come back to the association .”
A man who had previously worked for Joo Hee since her days at the association was well aware of Joo Yeon’s calculating personality .
“ The old school is in full swing, and the status of the association is falling to the bottom .”
That’s why I thought that there was no need to convince people by turning the horse around, and there was no need to be humiliated by bowing their heads .
All you need is truth and negotiation .
“ The association executives do not think they will come back, but the president sent me, believing that the swordsman would come back. and… . You have promised yourself that you will be rewarded accordingly .”
When the man glanced at the woman who came with him , he said ,
“ Yeah, yep… .”
A very nervous woman hurriedly pulled out something and carefully held it out .
Suck –
“ Thank you for checking it out .”
What the woman offered was none other than a contract .
[ A: Jooyeon-hee, B: Hunters Association of Korea ]
Literally, it was a contract with all kinds of unprecedented privileges .
“… … .”
Ju Yeon-hee glanced at the two men and women, took the contract, and then glanced through the written content .
[ If Min So-yeon and Yoo Ji-hwan are required to perform a class A or higher, B must obtain the consent of A . ]
[ B is obliged to hand over Yoo Ji-hwan’s personal information and CCTV data to A on a regular basis . ]
└ A can freely make a request regardless of the date .
Among them, a lot of information about Min So-yeon and Yoo Ji-hwan were written ,
[ A has the right to elect and refuse the appointment of the president of the Korea Hunter Association . ]
[ A has the right to give orders to all departments of the Korea Hunter Association . ]
[ B is responsible for A’s words and actions . ]
There was also a huge clause that allowed the association to be handled freely .
“… Huh… .”
Ju Joo-hee, reading the contract, thought .
By doing this, what is the reason for taking yourself to the association ?
Jooyeon-hee decided that the association was not just going out because of the price of the name .
No matter how great the name of ‘Swordsman’ is, it is not enough to give all the authority of the association .
However… .
Conversely, it means that there is always a reason to bring the ‘swordsman’, even after pouring out such irresistible provisions .
It’s not a good excuse for the old school… ,
something hidden .
“… Hmm… .”
After pondering for a moment, Joo Hee picked up her cell phone and called Jeong Nan-do to confirm .
And after receiving confirmation once again about the contract… .
“… Can you give me a pen ?”
“ Hey, here it is !”
After completing the calculation, Joo Hee took the pen without hesitation .
Even if the association became infamous, it was calculated that everything that could be pulled from the association until then could be pulled and eaten . So
,
Joo Hee signed the contract and officially returned to the association, and said ,
“ Then, I will contact you about the return schedule soon. Thank you so much !”
“ Thank you !!”
The two men and women who achieved a contract that was considered impossible and became a reversing hero were guaranteed huge bonuses and promotions later .
It was the moment when the operation of the old school, which had been painstakingly under the water for a long time, paid off .
*
[ This station is Pia University entrance. Pia University entrance station . ]
I glanced at the time of the announcement echoing inside the subway .
[ 12:07 PM ]
About 50 minutes until the appointment time .
“… .”
I left early with the thought of waiting for Soyeon to come before me, but I came too sooner than I thought .
After a while, the subway stops .
Ur -Ru –
I got out of the station, mixed with the crowds of people getting off the subway .
Screaming –
As soon as you step outside, the stinging sunlight and dry, hot air hit your face .
“ It’s already hot… .”
I
I quickly used the UV protection magic, passed the crowd in front of the station, and headed towards the meeting point, the cafe .
Probably because the cafe in front of the station is a typical building, there were already quite a few people there ,
“… huh ?”
in those… .
There was a woman standing there that caught my attention . it
was
soyeon “… .”
Just in case she didn’t find it, she was standing in a place where she could see clearly in the scorching sunlight, and she was so beautiful that she could involuntarily spit out admiration .
A hairstyle that was tied high differently than usual, and a blouse with a slightly exposed shoulder. And a subtly short skirt… .
With my mouth open, I blankly stared at Soyeon , and I
… , calm down… .
I barely came to my senses, brushed off useless thoughts and approached Soyeon .
OK… .
“!”
Soyeon found me and was startled, then she opened her eyes with a surprised face and made eye contact .
Maybe I didn’t expect it to come so soon .
“… .”
I couldn’t think of anything to say when I first met her, so I glanced at her pale shoulders, where even the sunlight was shining, and then carefully raised my magic .
Then he approached Soyeon ,
and
grabbed her hand and applied UV protection magic .
Hwaah –
“ Ah… .”
She let out a soft sigh as if feeling cool, and I
let go of her hand and pretended nothing was wrong .
“ How are you?”
Then Soyeon looked at me and pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded her head and answered carefully .
“… yes… .” Is it because of your
mood ?
Today, Soyeon felt particularly cute .
*
Near the station, a corner seat in a cafe .
“… … .”
The two of them moved to a cool cafe, contemplating how to speak out, and only looked at the drink in front of them .
then .
Rumbling –
the ice in the cup melted, making a pleasant noise ,
“… there… .”
“ You know… .”
Both of them spoke at the same time .
“… Say it first .”
“ No, you tell me first .”
Min So-yeon withdrawn in a more subtle atmosphere .
Yoo Ji-hwan, who looked at her like that, let out a quiet sigh and casually led the conversation .
“ What have you been doing these days ?”
“… just… . playing games… .”
Min So-yeon was not able to tell the truth, so she wrapped it around him moderately, and Yoo Ji-hwan ,
knowing nothing, continued the conversation to calm the atmosphere .
“ A game? What were you doing with your friends ?”
“… yes… . this time… . I came home… .”
When Yoo Ji-hwan finally heard the news that the mother and daughter were separated, his heart grew heavy, but it was not important right away, so he joked about it as if it was nothing .
“ It was… , good job … It’s not as messy as before, is it ?”
“… Oh no! Are you doing well ?”
Yoo Ji-hwan inadvertently smiles at Min So-yeon’s cute, hot temper .
A little relaxed, he wet his mouth with coffee and spoke casually .
“ Our house is now completely organized. I’ll invite you later .”
“… Where did you tell me before ?”
“ Yeah. It is difficult to manage because the house is large… . Much better than that cramped room .”
Min So-yeon smiled a little as she recalled the bedroom she had visited before, and Yoo Ji-hwan observed her reaction and
intuited that the atmosphere was getting better .
By the time our feelings for each other slowly melted away… .
“… there is .”
Min So-yeon made eye contact and spoke carefully .
“… sorry. disappointing .” Yoo Ji-hwan, who received the apology
, silently
looked at her, and Min So-yeon quietly looked away at Yoo Ji-hwan’s reaction, uneasy .
And at that moment .
“… So Yeon-ah .”
Yoo Ji-hwan, who was weakened by her appearance, accepted her apology kindly and resolutely .
“ Thank you for telling me first. … I believe you will do well in the future .”
“… yes… .”
Although no special words were exchanged ,
it was clear that Min So-yeon and Yoo Ji-hwan had a mutual understanding .
A moment of silence passed between the two of them .
This time, Yoo Ji-hwan was about to open his mouth to reveal his intentions .
“… Soyeon… .”
“ There… . I’m sorry… .”
Suddenly, a man appeared and talked to Min So-yeon .
“ Maybe… . That, after the sword… daughter… ?”
“… yes ?”
“ Is that right? The last article was published… . Right? You must be dating! Excuse me, please sign only once !”
“… no… , that is… .”
The attention of the people around him began to draw attention to the excited voice of the man, and Min So- yeon ,
embarrassed, withdrew from the burden .
that moment .
Dap – seok – Yoo Ji-
hwan jumped up and stopped the man .
“ I’m sorry. I don’t do that .”
“ No, just autographs… .”
“ I’m sorry. … Soyeon-ah, let’s go .”
“… uh? Yes… .”
And Yoo Ji-hwan avoided the attention of the people around him and took Min So-yeon and avoided the seat altogether .
“ There’s a lot going on… .”
“… Sorry .”
“ No, it’s not because of you… . okay .”
Yoo Ji-hwan didn’t know .
The fact that it was Min So-yeon and her friends who spread the article… .
“ Uh… . It’s hotter than before… . Are you okay ?”
“… okay .”
The two of them left the cafe like that . Yoo Ji-hwan,
who missed the timing to speak, left regrets by looking back at the cafe for no reason ,
while Min So-yeon quickly checked information around her and wandered around looking for a way to spend time with Yoo Ji-hwan .
then .
“… Ah .”
Min So-yeon pulled the hem of Yoo Ji-hwan’s shirt tightly and said ,
” Huh ?”
“… Shall we see that ?”
He pointed to the outer wall of the opposite building .
[ Seoul International Fireworks Festival ]
There was a poster promoting the fireworks display, and “
… … .”
Yoo Ji-hwan looked at Min So-yeon’s desperate expression and the poster and thought .
Let’s decline this offer. say .
that moment .
“… 👌👌👌 _
Min So-yeon, who felt an unknown sense of crisis in Yoo Ji-hwan’s expression, spoke softly to arouse sympathy .
“… I was supposed to see it with my dad before… .”
However, Yoo Ji-hwan, who had no memory of making such a promise, struggled to remember with a questionable expression, and Min So-yeon, thinking that her strategy had worked ,
secretly looked up at Yoo Ji-hwan .
“… very busy… ?”
Yoo Ji-hwan, who looked particularly cute after meeting her after a long time, fell for Min So-yeon’s aegyo gesture for a moment .
“… Do you want to see me like that ?”
“… no… . I can’t help it if I’m busy… .”
“ Then let’s go see .”
“… huh ?”
Looking at his reaction, Min So-yeon, who thought she would be rejected, opened her eyes wide in surprise, and Yoo Ji-hwan smiled faintly at Min So-yeon’s reaction
.
and… .
“ Um… . I think we’re doing it tonight, where would you like to pass some time? Is there any place you want to go ?”
“… Well… .”
“ Let’s go over there for now .”
“… yes .”
Finally, the two of them started dating .
