Episode 10
“Should I go see the ocean today?”
Whether that happened or not, Seung-hyun, who woke up in the afternoon, erased the company from his mind and started to decide today’s schedule while enjoying the spa in the room.
First, since he didn’t bring any clothes, he would go out and buy so clothes, and then spend ti walking around the beach. Seung-hyun stretched leisurely and ordered room service.
“Yes. We will bring it to you right away.”
Since he had no clothes to wear right now, he had to wear what he wore yesterday. Seung-hyun waited for room service while looking out the window.
“It’s fun to people-watch too.”
Looking at the people walking around and the waves, he soon felt a presence at the door as if room service was ready.
Knock knock.
As expected, at the sound of knocking on the door, Seung-hyun perked up his ears and got up from the bed. I’ll eat and go out right away. Opening the door in an excited mood, an unpleasant face was waiting for Seung-hyun.
“…What is this?”
“You ordered room service, didn’t you?”
“I did order it, but is it okay for a non-employee to bring it?”
“I am also a proper employee of Y Hotel, dear guest.”
When he opened the door, what appeared with the room service was none other than Jae-young. Jae-young, dressed in unsuitable attire and pushing a serving cart with room service, invaded Seung-hyun’s room.
‘I knew he was the successor of so hotel, but it had to be this one. I just chose what looked good randomly.’
Seung-hyun looked at Jae-young, who was slowly putting food on the table, with a displeased face. His hands were so slow that it even gave the illusion that the world was moving at 0.5 speed.
“…There’s definitely been a change of heart, I see.”
“What?”
“If it were the old you, you would have called the police as soon as I ca in.”
Oops. It seed he had accepted this unrealistic situation too calmly, thinking it was inside a novel. Seung-hyun picked up his cell phone, filling it with wariness. But he didn’t really intend to call the police.
When Seung-hyun just held his cell phone, Jae-young saw it and smiled slightly.
“I guess you don’t dislike as much as you say after all.”
“I was just startled and forgot.”
“You even go along with jokes like this. You’ve definitely changed.”
Darn it. It wasn’t easy to imitate the original Han Seung-hyun’s image because he was such a personality wreck. When Seung-hyun let out a small sigh, Jae-young nonchalantly sat on the chair in front of the table where the food was placed.
“If you’re an employee, you should work. If you’re done putting down the food, please leave now.”
Seung-hyun said, tapping the cart with the tip of his foot. But Jae-young just shrugged his shoulders without even blinking an eye.
“I’m an employee, but not one with fixed working hours.”
“I’d appreciate it if you could tell how to file a complaint before you leave.”
“Oh my, I’m properly fulfilling the guest’s request though.”
“What do you an by that? All I clearly ordered was eggs benedict and fresh fruit juice.”
Seung-hyun glanced into the cart. The food he requested did all co up on the table. It’s just that unnecessary things ca with it.
“Useless things ca along.”
“You may not have ordered it today, but you definitely ordered it, dear guest.”
Jae-young said with a relaxed smile. He wanted to kick him out right away, but he seed to be quite weak to handso n. Moreover, as they say you can’t spit on a smiling face, the grinning face offset the absurd feeling a little.
“When did I ever order sothing like that?”
“Do you really not rember? That can’t be true.”
“…It depends on when the conversation took place. There are things I rember and things I don’t.”
Looking at Jae-young’s face filled with injustice, Seung-hyun realized that what he was saying was not a lie. And that the “order” he was talking about was related to that night he couldn’t properly rember.
“Hmm. From where to where do you rember exactly? From when we t at that bar? Or when Director Han vomited on my shoes…”
“Excuse ?”
The startled Seung-hyun cut him off. He hoped it was a joke, but judging by the reaction, it didn’t seem to be a lie.
“I, I did sothing like that? Why didn’t you say so?”
“Is there a need to say that? They weren’t shoes I particularly cared about, and how can I suddenly say sothing like that to soone I spent the night with?”
“So you’ve been thinking of as a shaless person who vomited on soone else’s shoes and ran away without compensating?”
“I thought of you more as a heartless person who blocked soone you spent the night with without any lingering attachnt.”
Seung-hyun held his forehead and let out a small sigh. He had already been treating him quite obediently because he was weak to that face, but hearing these words made him feel guilty and sorry to push Jae-young away.
“…”
“I didn’t say that to make you feel sorry.”
“…I’m sorry. Did I… make any more mistakes?”
Seung-hyun apologized with his head bowed. He probably didn’t know, but that attitude further piqued Jae-young’s curiosity.
“Well, you said this and that.”
“So what did I say?”
“That you want to travel, you want to date, you want to sleep with a handso man, and that it’s unfair that you’ve lived this way…”
“That’s enough. Stop talking.”
He shouldn’t have asked. Seung-hyun shut Jae-young’s mouth and sighed again. I should have just kicked him out without asking. He regretted it belatedly, but it was already too late to send Jae-young away.
“So I ca to have fun with you.”
“Don’t you have work to do?”
“I don’t have anything that urgent. Director Han is more important.”
“I think you’re misunderstanding sothing, but I’m not a director anymore. I expressed my intention to resign and even got permission from the chairman. I don’t intend to get involved with the company…”
“I know. The news that you quit has already spread. I ca down after hearing that.”
It didn’t work even though he tried to emphasize that he was soone Seung-hyun didn’t need to care about to send him back.
“Anyway. I’m not a director anymore, and I can tell my secrets to anyone. You can go tell the chairman that you slept with , I won’t resent you, so do as you please.”
“I’m already doing as I please.”
It was hard to tell if he was talking to a person or having a conversation with a stone statue. Seung-hyun made a suffocating face and asked again.
“Fine. I vomited. And what did I say after that to make you bother like this? I’ll compensate you for those shoes, so tell the price and account number.”
“I have a lot of money too. I didn’t co all the way here because I’m short on money.”
“Then why the hell did you co? You didn’t co to play twenty questions with , did you?”
Unable to endure the frustration, Seung-hyun finally snapped. He had left him alone because he felt a little sorry, but now he felt like he was being mocked, so he wanted to send him back regardless of feeling sorry.
“What were you planning to do today?”
“…I was going to do so shopping and see the ocean.”
anwhile, Seung-hyun kindly answered Jae-young’s question and hardened his expression again. Seeing that, Jae-young said with a bright smile.
“Then let’s do that shopping together. You can buy shoes if you really want to compensate .”
“Why would I?”
“If I tell you everything that happened at once, you’ll send back, won’t you? I have to tell you slowly so Director Han won’t kick out.”
What on earth happened that day to make Ju Jae-young react so annoyingly? Seung-hyun let out a long sigh. If he sent him back without hearing what happened, he felt like he would still have an unsettling feeling.
“Then, shall we have a al first and get ready? By the way, the highest rated room service nu at our hotel is this sandwich.”
Jae-young smiled brightly and held up the sandwich that was left in the cart. It was a mischievous face that was hard to believe he was older than Seung-hyun.
