《Still With You》
| 03_The mastermind (2) |
✢✢✢
At Jimin's words to get to know people
The frightened employee began to stutter.
"A..person..? Who..?"
Then Jimin continued speaking with a snicker.
It looked like a beast targeting a herbivore.
"Why are you like that when you know so well? What's your name?"
"Jung...Hoseok..."
"Yes, Mr. Hoseok. The person I want you to find out.
You know who it is, did you think I didn't know?"
"That...that's..."
I like the way Hoseok keeps hesitatingDon't listen
Jimin, whose face was hardened, approached Hoseok.
Jimin, standing right next to Hoseok,to softly
WhisperIt was.
"Lee Yeo-ju, you know too?"
"..!!"
Those words were enough to surprise Ho-seok.
Because Hoseok knew Yeoju.
That's quite a lot too..
"Are you surprised? Do you really know him?"
But if you say you know the female protagonist here,
It was obvious that Jimin would become prey.
"..No. I'll look into it."
Jimin smiled with satisfaction as if he knew it would happen.
I patted Hoseok on the shoulder and headed out of the office.
✦✦✦
"ha..."
After receiving a request from Jimin that was almost like a threat
Hoseok, who went up to the company rooftop for a moment, closed his eyes.
I breathed in and out repeatedly.
"I'm crazy... Why did I have to go there?
"Don't be scared of that crazy guy..."
Although Ho-seok belatedly regretted his actions earlier,
Even he knew it was already too late.
Because it was already in Park Jimin's hands.
"Hey, what on earth are you doing?"
Ho-seok and Yeo-ju only knew each other when they were young.
He was a precious childhood friend who was second to none.
Of course, now that a lot of time has passed, contact is rare..
He was a friend who sometimes came to mind when I thought of my hometown.
"I didn't know I'd be doing background checks on you. Hehe."
With a bitter face filled with regret and guilt towards the female protagonist
It was Hoseok going down the rooftop stairs.
✦✦✦
"You're Lee Yeo-ju, right?"
A man with a low, bass voice
Sitting in a cafe waiting for Jeong-guk to be called by his father
He called the name of the woman who was resting.
When the female protagonist, who was looking at her cell phone, raised her head,
A man with distinct features appeared before my eyes.
"who..?"
When the female protagonist gave him a questioning look, the man just said
Sing-smiled and sat down with his legs crossed across from me.
"..Do you know me?"
Let's act as if we know each other well
The slightly bewildered female protagonist asked again.
But the man reacted like thatnerves
As if he didn't care, he just said what he wanted to say.
"Aren't you thirsty? How about an Americano?"
"No, I..."
"Oh, if you don't like bitter things, a cafe latte is fine too. I'll buy it."
In the conversation that has been going on my own since earlierI'm annoyed
The female lead is moreHe spoke sharply.
"Excuse me, this is my first time seeing you there?
So stop joking around.."
Then, he kept a bright smile on his face
It's so creepy that even the man watching it gets goosebumps
His face hardened coldly.
"Why, do you hate me?"
Gulp -
Frozen in the 180 degree change in atmosphere
The heroine couldn't say anything.
When the female protagonist did not answer,
A man stands up again with a smile.
"Since Ms. Yeoju is uncomfortable, I'll be leaving for today.
You will gradually come to know who I am. Hehe"
It was a sweet smile that would have made my heart flutter in any other situation,
To the female protagonist right now, it was a smile that gave her goosebumps more than anyone else's.
The man slowly stroked the female protagonist's head once.
I smiled leisurely and walked out of the cafe.
But in that brief moment, the heroine saw it.
One of the letters engraved on the ring the man was wearing on his hand...
I couldn't figure out what the letters meant,
It clearly caught the heroine's eye.
