The Country Life Diary of a Gangster’s Secretary Chapter 28

The Country Life Diary of a Gangster's Secretary - c28

Hyeseong was startled awake. The person who opened the door and entered was none other than Kwon Ihyeok.

“What is it?”

“Isn’t it a bit rude to have that attitude as soon as you see soone?”

“Why… is the CEO here…”

Hyeseong looked around quickly with a confused face. This was definitely his ho and the place he was lying down was also his room’s bed.

“Because soone fainted from being drunk last night.”

Ah, Hyeseong held his forehead. Right, this wasn’t an issue he could say anything about to Kwon Ihyeok. It was no different than Ihyeok helping him when he drank too much out of resentnt yesterday. He felt really stupid himself. Even though he said he would be careful in front of that person, he ended up causing this trouble again.

“But why didn’t you go ho and why are you still here?”

The clock he glanced up at was pointing to a little past 7 in the morning. It was too early for him to have co in the morning, his clothes were the sa as yesterday. Could it be that he stayed the night at his house?

“…Wash up and co out. Let’s have breakfast.”

However, Ihyeok didn’t answer. He tried to ask more, but he just left the room like that. Hyeseong tilted his head and went straight to the bathroom next door, washed his face with cold water, and ca out. As if proving the words about having breakfast were true, the sll of food was wafting up from inside the kitchen.

But Ihyeok had no talent for cooking. Since he didn’t need to, his cooking skills wouldn’t have improved in the anti, could he really be cooking himself? Thinking that he would have to redo it if it turned out badly, Hyeseong slightly opened the sliding door.

“Oh! Hyeseong is up?”

“What is this.”

The scene he saw was quite strange. Dohyun was wearing an apron and boiling soup, and Ihyeok was sitting at the dining table looking at his cell phone with coffee. The combination was fresh, but the situation was even more so.

“Hyeseong, does your head not hurt? When I woke up, it was completely…”

“The soup, it’s boiling.”

“Ah, yes.”

Dohyun approached Hyeseong to chatter excitedly like usual, but at Ihyeok’s single word, he imdiately returned to his original position. Hyeseong doubted his eyes. Dohyun puckered his lips and diligently stirred the soup.

“What is it? This.”

Hyeseong ended up changing the subject of his question to Ihyeok.

“We’re setting the table for breakfast.”

Even though he said that, in the end, it was only Park Dohyun who was setting the table.

“No, not that…”

“I can’t cook. I asked him and he said he’s good at cooking. He said he cooked well when he was abroad, so I asked him a favor.”

At those words, Dohyun turned around as if he had sothing to say. His face was covered with a sense of unfairness.

Because what Ihyeok did wasn’t a favor.

“So you know how to cook?”

“Yes! Even when I lived abroad, I took turns preparing als with my roommate. But…”

He was about to say that it had been a long ti since he cooked Korean food, so he wasn’t good at it. If it wasn’t for that threat disguised as a favor.

“Then try making breakfast. And if you’re going to stay here for a month, you can make the als from now on. You’re not going to do anything after sticking on like a parasite. Right?”

“…Yes.”

“Hey, help a little?”

“Oh? Okay, if you let …”

Then Ihyeok turned his body and looked at Dohyun.

“No. Hyeseong. This is my job, so I’ll do it. You rest a bit.”

Dohyun gave an awkward smile and diligently stirred the soup. Hyeseong only tilted his head at the subtle air flowing between the two. It seed like there was sothing, but it was vague to point it out.

“Right. Your friend says he’ll take care of everything, so just sit down. Does your head not hurt? Is your stomach okay?”

Ihyeok pointed to the seat in front of him.

“It’s fine. But aren’t you going to work, CEO?”

Hyeseong sat down in his seat helplessly and looked at him worriedly, who wasn’t ready to go to work yet.

“I should eat breakfast and go to work too. Thinking about how I suffered thanks to so people, I can freeload a little before leaving, can’t I?”

Hyeseong, who belonged to those ‘so people’, fake coughed with a startled face. Dohyun, who was serving the soup, also flinched his shoulders.

“I’m sorry about yesterday.”

No matter what his relationship with Ihyeok was now, he had made a mistake, so he had to apologize. Hyeseong also couldn’t be more annoyed when Dohyun or Sungjin would call him completely drunk. That’s how annoying and botherso it is to take care of a drunk person. But yesterday, he had made Ihyeok do that.

“It’s fine. It was fun anyway.”

Fun? Hyeseong tilted his head while drinking water. There didn’t seem to be anything particularly fun. Did he have a funny conversation with Dohyun while his mory was cut off?

While Hyeseong was making deductions, Dohyun diligently took out rice, soup, and a few side dishes from the refrigerator and set them on the table.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

Dohyun clapped his hands energetically while proudly looking at the food he had prepared from start to finish by himself.

“Thanks. CEO, please eat quickly too. You need to go to work soon.”

“Don’t rush. I’ll handle it sohow.”

And so, breakfast began. Park Dohyun’s cooking skills, who only knew how to make foreign dishes, were a bit questionable, but fortunately, the bean sprout soup tasted quite good. He felt like his stomach was finally loosening up a bit.

“Park Dohyun, you’re quite good at cooking?”

“Really? Is it delicious?”

“Yeah.”

Dohyun smiled in relief.

“Then your friend can cook from now on.”

“No, well, not to that extent…”

Hyeseong shook his head at Ihyeok’s words. He had said he would help with housework as a condition of staying at his house, but he had no intention of entrusting everything completely.

“No. Hyeseong. Leave the als to from now on.”

But what do you know? Dohyun made a bold promise, telling him to leave it to him while awkwardly taking a fighting pose.

“Oh? Okay. Well, fine.”

Then Ihyeok also resud his al as if satisfied.

“Ah, but did you sleep in the small room yesterday? You wouldn’t have had a blanket.”

He didn’t think Dohyun would stay that long. When he first moved in, he only brought his own bedding, so he was thinking of buying Dohyun’s separately later.

“Oh? It’s okay. Yesterday, I just slept with the blanket in your room.”

“What kind of blanket is that? Let’s go buy one today. If you can’t buy it, you can sleep with for the ti being…”

“No!”

Then Dohyun suddenly shouted. Ah, you startled . Hyeseong almost spit out his soup. His voice was really good from the morning.

“I, I really like sleeping on the floor!”

“What?”

There are people who are okay with sleeping on the floor, but are there also people who really like it?

“Because you can’t experience the Korean ondol floor heating abroad, you know? When I lived abroad, the thing I missed the most was the ondol. Haha. So it’s okay.”

Dohyun explained with an awkward laugh and exaggerated gestures. In between, he also glanced at Ihyeok, which was sohow suspicious.

“Really? Still, you need to have bedding, so let’s go out today.”

“Mmm.”

Then Dohyun buried his nose in his plate and focused on eating. Sothing is definitely strange…

“What are you doing?”

As he was strangely looking at Dohyun, Ihyeok called from the front.

“It’ll get cold. Eat quickly.”

“Ah, yes.”

The uncomfortable and strange al continued.

After finishing breakfast, Dohyun put the dishes in the sink faster than anyone else and started washing them. He said he would clean up since Dohyun prepared breakfast, but Dohyun flatly refused and pushed Hyeseong’s back, telling him to rest. It was quite strange, but he couldn’t stop him if he said he would do it himself.

Perhaps he thought it was too shaless of him to not only suddenly co to his house, but also say he would stay for a month. Thinking that, Hyeseong glanced at Ihyeok who was preparing to return to his house.

“Um…”

Ihyeok turned his head as he was about to go to the shoe rack. He had an unadorned appearance, perhaps because it was morning. He seed to see Ihyeok’s appearance without his hair swept up quite often since coming here. And Hyeseong was convinced. Indeed, Ihyeok looked much better with his hair not swept up.

“How is work going?”

“Work?”

“The construction company case.”

“Ah.”

Then Ihyeok let out a low hum. These days, he had been pouring all his attention on Cheon Hyeseong, regardless of work or anything else. Of course, it was an important project, so there wasn’t much to worry about with the team he had ford by selecting capable team mbers, but still, his role as the team leader was the most important.

“Well, it’s a bit tough.”

Ihyeok narrowed his eyes and changed his words when he was about to say it was okay since it was still early.

“It would be nice to have a capable secretary.”

Hyeseong’s eyes, which had shown a slight wavering at the words that it was tough, quickly withered. His face seed to say ‘of course’.

“There are many capable secretaries. So hurry up and pick one.”

“You’re not falling for it.”

Ihyeok laughed. It seed like he had heard similar words from the Taesung faction office before.
