Relationships (4)

An upscale Japanese restaurant with a subtle scent of delicious food.

“Would you like one more drink?”

After the discussion stopped and we moved together, I was being entertained by Baek Yu-jin.

Crackle-

Clear sake filled into each other’s glasses.

When he took the glass and poured it into his mouth, the pleasant bitterness wiped away the faint bitterness that remained in his mouth.

“… Whoo… .”

I sighed softly as the drunkenness was slowly rising, and I put my glass down, and glanced at her sipping alcohol sitting across from me.

‘I don’t think I’m drunk at all.’

Is it not clearly revealed in the first place, or is it really not intoxicated?

I think I drank more than one bottle, but Baek Yu-jin showed no sign of intoxication.

‘I think I hardly drank water… .’

Contrary to his delicate appearance, he seemed to have a strong drink.

“Aren’t you already drunk?”

At that time, Yujin Baek spoke to me with a playful smile.

“It’s been a while since I drank, so I’m getting a little drunk.”

When she laughed lightly and shivered, she smiled and continued the conversation.

“Actually, it’s been a while since I’ve been drinking, so it’s a little difficult.”

“Do you still look fine?”

“Really. When my family sees me, will they ask me where I am sick?”

Along with the story that she was very strong on alcohol from generation to generation, she brought up the story of the family that she had heard from her childhood.

“It is said that one of the adults in our Baek family got a husband with a bottle of whiskey.”

“Drinks?”

“The two of us emptied a bottle all night… , What. It was a story about that.”

It was a story that made me sick to my stomach just hearing it.

“I heard that he was born with gray hair and red eyes just like me. I must have received less of his blood.”

Her long eyelashes fluttering through her white hair are like a painting.

I, who gave strength to my eyes for no reason as I recalled the story of the man in the story she recites, sips cold water instead of alcohol and sips my luck.

“therefore… , When are you going to say what you were about to say?”

OK.

Baek Yu-jin glanced at me with tears in her eyes, and answered while looking down at the food with a sullen expression on her face.

“Are you so curious about that?”

“I came all the way here because I was curious.”

“Oh, did I drink kimchi soup first?”

She pretended to be a little startled, then she got down and shifted her gaze to meet her eyes,

I smiled involuntarily at her cute act of directing an answer, and returned the desired answer.

“Maybe not.”

Then Baek Yu-jin, unable to hold back her laughter, raises the corners of her mouth.

After a long time, she raised a glass of water to moisten her mouth, and finally brought up the topic.

“Did you know that our group is famous for pharmaceuticals?”

“I heard that it was in a textbook.”

Baekil Pharmaceutical, the main business of Baekil Group, has been making a lot of money with male contraceptives for a long time.

Currently, various items and new drugs are being developed with accessories from the gate, and I used to use Baekil Pharmaceutical’s pain relievers at one time.

“There is a new drug developed by us this time… , I think it will be of great help to Jihyuk.”

“… What kind of drug is it?”

She crossed her arms and gently touched her chin as she continued her explanation.

“How can I explain this… . Do you know how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly?”

“A caterpillar?”

“Some scholars studied it in the past, and it is said that the caterpillar melts its own body to become a pupae, and then reconstitutes the melted body to become a butterfly. Are you curious?”

Baek Yu-jin has said that the drugs they are developing are such drugs.

In short, it was meant to be a drug that reconstructs a part of the human body.

‘… Reconstructing a part of the human body… .’

Dry saliva drips over.

Glancing at the legs under the table, I calmed my simmering excitement and spoke.

“It means that it completely melts bones and muscles… . Isn’t that too dangerous?”

“It’s dangerous. So, we spent a lot of money on research to reduce the side effects.”

“That is… .”

“The side effects are about 9%. It’s a weak and similar level on the market.”

Side effects were 9%.

It’s not an absolutely safe number, but your heart starts pounding.

‘I can fix my leg properly…’ ?’

My leg, which was shattered during training with Lim Arin during the academy, was fortunately repaired quickly with the help of modern medicine.

However.

It wasn’t completely restored to its previous state, but I was told that battles should be avoided in the future.

In fact, it was almost like a death sentence for me, who was covering up my lack of physical abilities.

Of course, I couldn’t give up at all, and thanks to repeated rehabilitation and training, I have now reached a level where short battles are possible.

If I get injured again, I’m obsessed with the thought that it’s really over, and I’m in a situation where I can’t use my energy in practice.

“If your legs are healed, do you think you will be able to debut as a Hunter? Did you know that our guild specializes in male teams?”

“Hunter… . Just producing is enough for me.”

“Aren’t you sad that you won the S rank?”

She mentions her confrontation with Hyo-Min Choi in a friendly manner.

It was something hidden from Sejin for the sake of the image, but it seems that the rumors could not be stopped.

“If you mistakenly think you won because you were lucky, you will get hurt.”

“Are you careful?”

Baek Yoo-jin smiled and filled my glass,

I handed the bottle to her, filled her cup, and whispered.

“What can I do?”

OK.

“Uh… .”

Baek Yu-jin dragged on an answer, pretending to be a little worried, then slowly got up and moved to a seat next to me with a glass.

“At first, I was just trying to make a clean transaction… . When I see you in person, I have another desire.”

A subtle scent that lingers on the tip of the nose.

No matter what perfume he had sprayed, Baek Yu-jin’s body odor penetrated his dull senses and stuck in his mind.

“Am I being presumptuous?”

Baek Yu-jin secretly hugged me and looked up at me and seduced me.

Normally, I would have cut it off resolutely, but… .

Wouldn’t it be okay to accept a little for a smooth relationship?

Suck-

Naturally, I put my hand on her thin waist and answered while holding a glass of sparkling wine.

“I’ll see you today.”

“Only today?”

“Maybe not.”

Baek Yu-jin quickly brought in a glass of wine with a satisfied smile,

blah-

We started having a more serious conversation.

*

next day.

“eww… . head… .”

After drinking alcohol with Baek Yoo-jin until dawn, I finally got home and got a short sleep, grabbing my aching hair and getting ready to go to work.

‘What kind of drink do you drink so well… .’

Baek Yu-jin was a drunkard beyond imagination.

He said that the strong alcohol was part of the family history, but apparently it wasn’t an exaggeration.

“I can’t drive… .”

I thought that I might be driving drunk unintentionally if I went like this, so I was seriously thinking about whether to pay half a car in the morning, and I was putting on the hangover reliever I bought in advance… .

Woo-Woo-Woo-Woah-

The phone, which was in the middle of charging, began to ring.

‘Who is this early in the morning?’

Without a second thought, I put the bottle down and walked over to my phone.

and.

“!”

The moment I encountered the name that appeared on the screen, I froze without realizing it.

[ Arin ♥ ]

It was Arin.

‘Bur, are you awake already?’

The drinking party with Baekil Group officials has already been completed after the report has been completed.

Just in case, as soon as I got home, I left a message with a verification shot… .

Apparently, he called as soon as he saw the message he had left.

gulp-

Slightly nervous as if caught lying for nothing, I took a short deep breath and answered the call as naturally as possible.

“hello?”

[Jihyuk-ah… ! Have you been to work right now?! ]

A-rin Lim’s strangely urgent voice is heard through the speaker.

It felt as if a phone was ringing in the hallway of a building.

“I haven’t done it yet. Anyway, I drank too much yesterday, so I was thinking about taking a break in the morning.”

[ Oh, I see… ! Yes, if you are tired, you should rest… ! ]

Arin Lim responded as if she was really lucky and sympathized with me.

By the way.

[It went well. Then can you open the door… ? ]

“… uh?”

Then came the incomprehensible words.

[I made a little bit of haejangguk for you… ! ]

“… what?”

That moment.

ding dong- ding dong-

The sound of a doorbell ringing in the house.

[ Ding-dong- Ding-dong- ]

Coincidentally, the same doorbell sounded over the speaker.

“… !”

Surprised, I hurried out to the front door.

Beep- Beep-

Then I quickly unlocked the door and opened the front door… .

burst-

As usual, she was lovingly dressed, waving her hand through the crack in the door and greeting her brightly.

“Jihyuk… !”

He really came to our house.

“Ah, Arin… .”

“It’s a little bit ok… ? Can I eat rice?”

She asks for greetings with a worried expression on her face.

As if it was not an empty word that I had been making haejangguk, I had a small shopping bag in my hand… .

“… What is that?”

“ah. this? It’s haejangguk… !”

“… Haejangguk… ?”

“yes! I checked that you sent me a message in the morning, and I cooked it right away… !”

“… uh?”

She made a shocking remark casually and surprised me again.

It was 5 am when I got home and sent her a message.

It’s 7:20 in the morning… .

In other words, after waiting for the message until dawn, the breakfast was prepared.

“My, did I do something too burdensome… ?”

At that time, Arin Lim looked into my eyes and spoke carefully.

It felt like he was really unaware of his actions, or that he barely noticed my subtle reaction.

“Oh, no! It’s burdensome. If you take care of me like this, it’s good for me!”

“That’s right… ?”

Recalling the seizures she had recently had, I trembled even more in fear of dying.

“then! Who doesn’t like to be taken care of like this? I was just worried that you might be overdoing it.”

“Heh heh. I’m okay… !”

“… okay. Let’s go in and eat.”

After that, he smirked in moderation and brought her into the house.

While Arin Lim went to wash her hands for a while, I was quietly swallowing my saliva while preparing the breakfast I had prepared.

‘no… . Why does this look so appetizing again?’

Maybe it was because there were only side dishes I liked, so I also had an appetite that I didn’t have.

“Jihyuk… !”

At that time, Arin Lim, who came back after washing her hands, gently asked a question.

“Have you ever bought a new perfume? ?”

It was a random question about perfume.

“yes? perfume? Didn’t you buy it?”

“ah… . okay… ?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“No, just… . The laundry basket smells good.”

“Laundry basket… ?”

That moment.

Memories of last night flashing through my mind.

‘What perfume do you use?’

‘I made it myself. Okay?’

‘Really? It’s very well made.’

‘If you hold it close, you can smell the peach.’

‘okay? then… .’

Apparently, the perfume from the process of entertaining Baek Yu-jin was still there.

“… I don’t know.”

I kept as calm as possible and pretended not to know.

OK.

“It was just like a woman’s perfume… . I had a drink with a girl yesterday… ?”

Arin Lim asked a sharp question at first.

Juruk-

Cold sweat running down the spine in line with the slightly lowered tone.

Arin Lim was clearly suspicious of me.

‘… Chi, calm down… .’

You are the one lying here in embarrassment.

Tell the truth, but you have to say it in a vaguely grouped way.

“Did I not tell you? There was a woman who moved there… . oh I sprayed perfume in the middle of that person, and it must have been buried.”

“… okay… ?”

Arin Lim sent her gaze quietly with a meaningful answer.

It was a calm look that clearly showed no emotion, but

Those dry eyes made me feel even more pressured.

“It’s all set. Shall we eat now?”

In order not to make a fuss for nothing, I turned the topic of acting with my whole body,

“I will enjoy this food.”

“Eat a lot… !”

Arin Lim seemed to have cleared her doubts soon, and showed her smile again.

“So what did you talk about yesterday? What are you talking about in a hundred days?”

“Well… .”

To surprise her, I deliberately pretended to be nothing and moved the spoon and brought out the story I was offered.

“A new drug has been developed at Hundred Il Pharmaceuticals, and they say that it will be able to heal my leg.”

That moment.

“… uh?”

Perhaps because of her mood, Arin Lim’s expression hardened.
