Unfortunately, the information of Kim Kyung-wook that Ha Tae-heon delivered didn’t contain what we wanted.
It was true that Kim Kyung-wook had been living by committing illegal activities, but when he actually asked the group to deal behind the gate, he was already being ntal control.
‘If he had voluntarily joined the Praus Cult, he would have had more information to gain.’
Of course, if that was the case, it wouldn’t have been this easy. I was so disappointed that I had a lot of useless thoughts.
As I clicked my tongue and folded the open docunt, I heard a brief, neat knock on the front door.
Who is it? I tilted my head since there was no one to co and opened the front door.
“Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi?”
“Good afternoon.”
The person standing outside the door was unexpectedly Woo Seo-hyuk. Woo Seo-hyuk, who greeted calmly when I was surprised, ca up with a question.
“Are you busy?”
“No, I was looking at the docunt from Roheon. Co in.”
I glanced behind him as I answered, but no one was in sight. Did he co alone?
It must have been an important business if Woo Seo-hyuk, not soone else, ca to visit . I led him into the room and t his gaze.
“……”
“……?”
What? Why didn’t he say anything?
A sudden silence ca while facing Woo Seo-hyuk.
Should I say anything first? I was seriously thinking about it, but after a while, Woo Seo-hyuk hesitantly opened his mouth.
“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”
“Yes.”
“That…”
Unlike usual, his behaviour which wasn’t being able to speak easily while looking around, only made my doubts grow even bigger.
It was at that ti when I was worried that Woo Seo-hyuk, who had been calm all along, might have had sothing bad that caused him to hesitate.
“Could you… give so ti?”
“Ti?”
“Yes. If you don’t mind, I would like you to go out with .”
Going out? He asked to take so ti, so I thought it was just a conversation, but I guess that wasn’t the case.
It was the first ti I received such an offer from Woo Seo-hyuk, so I was a bit surprised, but nothing was impossible. Rather, it was quite nice to go out with Woo Seo-hyuk, who still felt awkward compared to other team mbers.
“All right. Are we leaving right now?”
“Yes.”
“Where is the destination?”
When I asked while putting on the cardigan that had been laid on the sofa, Woo Seo-hyuk avoided answering by turning his face away this ti.
What the hell were you doing. It was Woo Seo-hyuk who answered quickly to whatever I asked. This look was so unfamiliar that I doubted if he was the sa person.
“All right. Let’s go out first.”
Well, I’ll know when we go. Thinking lightly, I passed Woo Seo-hyuk and left the room first, and he quietly followed .
* * *
“…um, Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi.”
The place I arrived at was really a place very different from what I had imagined.
Touching the corner of my mouth and feeling embarrassed, I struggled to open my mouth.
“Therefore…”
How should I talk about this? I looked down at the pale yellow object in front of and spoke as carefully as I could.
“The place you tried to co with … is this right?”
“Yes.”
Right? Feeling embarrassed, I looked at the table placed between Woo Seo-hyuk and .
The round wooden table was filled with various desserts and drinks, from cheesecake to vanilla latte. I rolled my head again, but I couldn’t figure it out.
“Why is the café…?”
“Healer Min Ah-rin told that it was a new cafe that opened a while ago.”
Aa. Co to think of it, it seed that Min Ah-rin said sothing similar to . Here is where it was.
“As Han Yi-gyeol-ssi knows, I didn’t have anyone who could co with to a place like this, so I asked.”
“I see. You want to co to the new cafe…”
Woo Seo-hyuk, who returned with a blunt expression, which I didn’t know where that hesitating attitude that he showed before go, naturally pushed a plate of cheesecake in front of .
“Please eat.”
I was embarrassed, but there was no sin in food, so I raised the fork in silence.
Yeah, Woo Seo-hyuk is also a human being, so he must want to co out to get so fresh air from ti to ti. Considering his job, where he always worked by Cheon Sa-yeon’s side and worked overti like a al, it might be rather natural.
‘I feel sorry for him…’
He must be very busy with just his original secretary job, but since he went from researching materials related to the Praus Cult to following them here and there as a team… How much rest like this was needed in the anti.
I guessed I was a little careless. I received a lot of help from Woo Seo-hyuk, but I didn’t think of giving it back. I didn’t have too much sha.
Feeling sorry, I swallowed all the desserts and coffee piled up on the table. After leaving the cafe and getting back into the car, I fastened my seat belt and asked Woo Seo-hyuk.
“Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi. Are there any other places you would like to go to?”
I didn’t know why Cheon Sa-yeon sent Woo Seo-hyuk out of work hell, but I couldn’t blow this opportunity just by visiting a cafe.
“What about Han Yi-gyeol-ssi?”
I wanted to avoid going back to the guild like this, so I quickly thought of places worth visiting. But there was no way I knew a good place.
“I don’t know.”
If Min Ah-rin had been here, she would have told a good place. Or Kwon Jeong-han.
It was difficult for to suggest a good choice to Woo Seo-hyuk because I could count on my hands the mories of going out.
‘Should I ask on the phone?’
When I couldn’t speak easily and my worries grew longer, Woo Seo-hyuk, who started the car, opened his mouth in a calm voice.
“If you don’t have it, we will return to the guild.”
“Wa, wait a minute. That… how about the Han River?”
Grabbing Woo Seo-hyuk’s arm as he was going to the guild without regret, I hurriedly shouted about the Han River. It was the most plausible and safe place among the things squeezed out of past mories.
“Han River… do you want to go there?”
“Yes. Rather than doing sothing great… Let’s walk for a while. I ate two of those cakes and I’m so full that I want to walk a little.”
If it was the Han River, it wasn’t too far from here. As I added an explanation, Woo Seo-hyuk gave a small nod and started the car.
I could feel that he was sohow happy from the profile of Woo Seo-hyuk driving. As expected, he must have wanted to play more when he said he wanted to go back to the guild.
There were quite a lot of people who ca out for a walk at the Han River, which we arrived soon after. It was full of trees and wild flowers coloured with colourful leaves, and people with their families and lovers.
Woo Seo-hyeok and I also parked the car in a suitable place and entered the pronade. Perhaps because of the brief rain during the day, the wind that blew was cool and clean.
“Shall we just walk around the area?”
“Yes.”
When I asked while sweeping the nape of my neck, Woo Seo-hyuk nodded again. In the awkward air, I started walking along the Han River side by side with Woo Seo-hyuk.
‘The attention is amazing.’
Everyone who passed by looked at Woo Seo-hyuk’s face once and passed by. Looking at Woo Seo-hyuk’s appearance and the atmosphere he gave off, it was understandable that they reacted like that, but it was true that it was a bit burdenso.
Woo Seo-hyuk still had a calm expression in the eyes of others who were stuck in . Was he familiar with it? Not only because of his appearance, but because he had been working as Cheon Sa-yeon’s secretary for a long ti, I expected him to be insensitive to this kind of stare.
‘Should I not co here?’
It was ti to sigh inwardly and regret belatedly. His big hand gently gripped my wrist.
“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi.”
Warm heat spread from my wrist like paint. Woo Seo-hyuk, who caught , stopped and pointed at the Han River.
“The sun is setting.”
When I turned my gaze to the place he pointed, I saw the Han River and wild flowers dyed red by the sunset. The dark blue sky turned to purple-red as it got closer to the sun.
As the darkness settled down little by little, the lights on the buildings across the Han River turned on one by one. Looking at the panoramic view in front of , I deeply understood why people co to the Han River to play.
“It’s pretty.”
It was a landscape that I wouldn’t get tired of even standing still and looking at for a long ti. While watching the diminishing sunset, I said to Woo Seo-hyuk.
“I hope you can have a break like this sotis.”
“……”
“It’s not sothing I should say because I always ask Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi.”
Woo Seo-hyuk, who blinked for a mont, asked in a low voice.
“Next ti… would you co with ?”
“Of course.”
It wouldn’t be fun to be with , who wasn’t good at talking and had no sense, but I was grateful that Woo Seo-hyuk asked to co with him next ti.
Next ti, I must co with Min Ah-rin or Kwon Jeong-han as well. Then we would be able to go to more fun and nice places other than the Han River.
We finished watching the sunset and got back in the car. The ti I walked along the Han River was less than 30 minutes and I only watched the sunset, but it was a satisfying enough ti.
Woo Seo-hyuk, who parked the car in front of the guild gate, handed over the car key to the bodyguard and followed closely behind . I was a little suspicious of the closer distance than usual, but it wasn’t uncomfortable, so I headed for the elevator without saying anything, but I heard the voice I heard the other day from behind.
“Oh my, Talented Han Yi-gyeol.”
When I reflexively looked back, Alice was approaching with a smile.
Beside her, I also saw the secretary who had attended the eting the other day. He said his na was Theo.
“It’s a coincidence that we et here. I guess you just co back from an outing?”
“Yes. It’s good to see you again, Deputy Master Alice.”
“It’s nice to see you, too.”
Alice narrowed her eyes as she greeted with her hand held out toward .
“Requiem didn’t tell us Talented Han Yi-gyeol’s schedule. No matter how many tis I asked, they didn’t even pretend to listen.”
Alice’s black eyes, which contained her irritation, went back and forth between and Woo Seo-hyuk once.
“Master Cheon Sa-yeon said that today the guild was completely empty. I guess you were on your way back after going out with Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk?”
“……”
It was only then that I realized the reason why Woo Seo-hyuk suddenly ca to my room and asked to leave.
‘That’s why it was strange.’
Cheon Sa-yeon made Woo Seo-hyuk go outside with while Alice was at the guild. The mysterious doubt left in the corner of my head was resolved in an instant.
Did he not want to et Alice enough to make Woo Seo-hyuk go outside? I thought it was a joke, but I guessed he ant it.
Should I call this jealousy? Later, when I et Cheon Sa-yeon separately, I should point this out properly.
