Chapter 222 – Bad Choice #2

[This is YuRia. The doctor secretly asked for help and is now in Lyon. We’ll let you know more details later. I also passed it on to Marcella. I got a cannon phone and I’m texting you, but I’m going to throw it away right away, so don’t send me a reply.]

Seeing YuRia’s message, I tapped the side of my forehead with the edge of my phone.
He is currently interrogating criminals and reorganizing international organizations.
No, he said he was doing it.
It’s not like we’re discussing face-to-face with people from international organizations, so there’s nothing dangerous at all. Need help? Secretly too?

‘There’s something.’

The doctor hid something from me.
I think it’s about the ‘thing to find out’ that the doctor said on the phone yesterday…
It’s good to see that there’s something going on.
I’m sure I’ll be included in that catch-up too. She wouldn’t even tell me, the one she loves the most.

‘Haa… Jenny… Why are you like this… Seriously…’

Why do you bother to buy it? Just finish the reorganization, put a few people to death as examples, and come back.
If that’s the case, I’m you… No, let’s decide after receiving Yuria’s report later.

I still don’t know what to look for, but since I called Yuria as my helper, it was good to say that whatever the doctor did was in my hands.
The doctor made the wrong choice.

Fuck!

Yes, like Sylvia, who has a special heart for me, who now sneaks up and hits her butt with affectionate force.
I said without even turning her head.

“Don’t hit me.”

Then, Sylvia, who announced her presence with her kick, scratched the back of her head as if embarrassed.

“A man has come and you don’t even look back, do you? If you said hello, you should accept it.”

“Greetings? Oh, yes.”

I tried to lightly kick her Sylvia’s ass with her shin.
But the moment she lifted one of her feet, her step foot slipped.
I fell from my back with a dull sound.
A gasping Sylvia burst into laughter, pointed her finger at me, and laughed at me as I jumped up and looked around her.

“Are you really stupid? Why is the kid so strong? His size is distracting and everything he does is stupid…”

Did you do that on purpose?
I was annoyed as her face turned red.

“Stop laughing. People are staring at you.”

“Can you not laugh?”

Sylvia, who was babbling, came up to me and gave me a pat on the back, she says.

“Her head doesn’t seem to be hurt. What a waste.”

“What a waste… Is that something to do? Who am I to become like this…”

“Okay, sorry. So will you stop complaining?”

She brushed off her buttocks and legs without hesitation, and she patted my back! She did and hit.

“It’s done. Let’s go.”

“Yes…”

“Don’t be intimidated. Things like that happen, too.”

I let out a deep sigh like an embarrassed person and walked into the mart.
Time passed quite quickly as I went on a trip with Sylvia, bought food to eat, and ate at the food corner.
After finishing the shopping, we went to the underground parking lot carrying boxes one by one.

I said, putting the box in the car.

“Get on. I’ll give you a ride.”

“Then just go to the entrance of the town.”

It must have been that she was afraid that Adele would find out.

“Is it necessary to do that?”

“Yes. You have to do that.”

“What… I see.”

I get into the car and start the engine, and Sylvia, who is wearing a seatbelt, says as if spitting out.

“And you are sneakily speaking half-heartedly? Originally, they said that the four-year age gap couldn’t even be sick. Because it’s me, they look after me… Be careful in the future.”

“I can’t even be sick… What kind of Joseon Dynasty is this? And are you bragging about how old you are?”

“I joked once, but wasn’t the reaction too strong?”

“Haa… When I chat with Sylvia, she’s in a drained mood. We really don’t fit.”

“You think it suits you very well?”

It’s become more comfortable to say the least. This is a good phenomenon.
I shook my head roughly and stepped on the accelerator.
We are heading to Uijeongbu like that, and Sylvia asks cautiously.

“How complete is my device?”

“Quite a lot.”

“Okay…? I thought you would reply that there is no progress, but I am surprised.”

“What else do you mean by that?”

“You date Adele all the time. So I thought she was just letting go of her hand.”

“When I stop by the company or before going to bed, I always carry a production kit with me and make it. Whenever I have a chance.”

At those words, Sylvia put on an apologetic expression.
I looked at her face in her room mirror and smiled lightly.

“Don’t worry, I will tell you good news soon.”

“Somebody was worried… I was kidding, but don’t take it seriously.”

“Was this a joke again?”

“Yes. Didn’t you know Is it my fault for joking with a fool like you?”

A car caught at a traffic light.
Hitting her brakes, I slammed her face into Silvia.

“Sylvia-san is also a bad bath… Did you know?”

She panicked as in her lab as her face got so close.
I could see her pulling her chin out and trying to distance herself from me.

“Look at this. Even if you touch it, your face will turn red. Should I say that I am not shy, rather than blind?”

“Ooh, drive or do it right. It’s a blue light now.”

Pretending to be tough, pretending that nothing is wrong, but at the level where there is no separate sukmaek.
Can you play with me properly like this?
I raised one corner of my mouth and turned my gaze back to the front.

“I see.”

**

I stopped by the officetel after a long time after dropping off Sylvia, and after a friendly expression of affection with Sehwa, I asked for a favor in a very cautious manner.

“Can you invite Adele over and let her sleep for a day or two, starting tomorrow?”

“Adele? So what?”

I would gladly agree…
You decided to endure it for the sake of the cause. This demon king really likes Sehwa, who is developing the dignity of a queen.

“What is it? I thought you’d be angry…”

“Adele is cute. It’s good that you follow me well.”

A voice of sympathy. Compared to the annoyance I had when we first met, it was to the point where I felt a sense of alienation.
By the way… Did you have a crush on me without meeting a few times?
Could it be that Saehwa is being influenced by Adele’s innocence and divine power?
While I was thinking, I let out a sigh of relief at Sehwa’s words that continued.

“I don’t have Yuria unnie, but I think it would be fun to play with her.”

Thank god. You haven’t changed.

“Yeah well… It’s good to have fun…”

“Can we go far away? Shall we go to Jeju Island?”

It’s Jeju Island… The old days are full of thoughts.

“Jeju Island would be fine. Invite Sylvia too.”

“Why? Weren’t you planning on flirting with Sylvia?”

“Right. Sylvia will definitely refuse.”

“You’re telling me out of courtesy. Okay. But there are more important things than this. The doctor seems to have sensed something suspicious, what will she do?”

“I don’t have any plans. Yuria will be watching over the doctor, but after the work is over, she will decide after listening to the report.”

At those words, Sehwa stared at my face.
Something makes her mean-spirited smile.
I asked.

“What’s wrong with your expression?”

“Even if you say you don’t have a plan, it looks like you’ve made up your mind.”

“I?”

“Yes. The doctor has a lot of anxiety factors to just let go. Do you think this has made it clear?”

“Well… It’s not like that. Let’s stop talking about this and let’s go. I want to sleep with you for a long time.”

I hugged Sehwa and headed for the bedroom.
I have to love you as much as I haven’t had in a long time.

**

“Mr. Jihyeok. I have to tell you that I am sorry.”

Ahh… Adele let out a cute sigh.
I fixed my glasses and asked while closing the Bible.

“What is it?”

“Sehwa invited me. They suggested that we eat delicious food and play in the water together at the villa in Jeju Island. We agreed to meet at the airport this evening. So I may not see Jihyeok for a few days.”

“No, if there is such a story, he won’t tell you in advance… I’ve already planned to play… Besides, what kind of water play are you doing on this cold day?”

As I frowned and gave off a hint of sadness, Adele came over and gently stroked the back of my head.

“I’m sorry. But I couldn’t help it because Sae-hwa was busy now and that he might not be able to see him often.”

“Then I will go too.”

“That is difficult. I’m going to have a secret talk with the girls.”

“Among women? So are Sylvia and Yuria going too?”

“Yuria unni said she was traveling abroad. Also she said she was invited, but she declined, saying she had an athletic match.”

I laughed and said.

“It’s not like all four of us will get together… We’ll postpone it and go next time.”

“Didn’t I tell you that Sehwa will be busy from now on? If not now, I don’t know when we will be able to make friends. I’ll be back in two or three days. Even if I want to see you until then, can you bear it?”

I can tolerate it very well playing with Sylvia. Cancer, no way.

“Just play with me. Cancel your appointment.”

“Mr. Jihyeok. Saehwa is a Beast Slayer colleague, so wouldn’t it be nice to promote friendship in case we fight together? And you’ve been with Jihyeok every day. You shouldn’t try to tie me down too much.”

She was as pliable as she was a child, and seeing Adele trying to soothe me as if she were a teacher made her laugh and drive her crazy.
She even apologizes for cheating.

“No matter how it is, how can you leave me alone…”

“Okay, do it.”

“It’s really too much…”

I grumbled and opened my mouth wide.
Then Adele took out one of her mint-flavored candies and put it in her mouth.
Looking at me chewing on it, she smiles broadly and hugs me.
However, because of her small size, it was rather like hugging me.

“If you go on this trip, I will give you a prize.”

“…A prize?”

“Yes. You waited patiently for me, so of course I have to get off. The content is confidential, so don’t ask what kind of award it is.”

I feel like I’m going to do something dirty…
I replied reluctantly.

“All right…”

“Since Jihyeok is upset, I will finish studying today.”

“Yes…”

Even after that, Adele comforted me for a long time.
Seeing me obsessed with her, she was also happy.
Isn’t it bad to pretend like this? I should use it sometimes.

I ate her food with her Adele, helped her pack, and drove her to the airport. As soon as I got back in her car, I called her Sylvia.

-Why.

“Where are you now?”

– During exercise.

“I heard that Adele is going on a trip with Sehwa… Have you heard?”

– I heard. Should have left by now?

“I just dropped you off at the airport. We are leaving tomorrow too. I’ll take care of things like camping gear, so just pack a spare set of clothes.”

-My, tomorrow…? I thought it wouldn’t rain in the Grand Canyon for a while…

I certainly did suggest that we go on a trip on a rainy day.
But you refused Sehwa’s invitation because you wanted to go on a trip with me.
You know that now is your chance. I’m looking forward to even looking at the weather forecast, but why are you bouncing around? Is it the least conscience?

“The day we were there was special, and that’s how it was originally. See you tomorrow at 5:00 in the lab.”

-To go so early…?

“Due to the time difference, it will be evening in America by the time we arrive.”

-That’s right… But I don’t know how to pitch a tent… Are you going to pitch it yourself?

“Why are you pitching a tent? There is our hideout… A cave.”

When I was talking behind my back, I spoke in a slightly cryptic tone, lowering my voice.
To prick Sylvia’s conscience and inflate expectations at the same time.
And as if the effect had worked, the sound of Sylvia swallowing her saliva could be heard over her cell phone.

-That cave…?

“You said you wanted to play there in the first place. Don’t you remember?”

– I remember… Okay. See you tomorrow.

“Come on time. Go to bed early.”

-Don’t be late either. Hang up

“Yes.”

Throwing my phone into the passenger seat, I started the car.
The preparations were perfectly done. Now, all you have to do is enjoy the tryst and grow Sylvia’s feelings for me.
