Chapter 265 – Chapter 265 – The Protagonist Is Captured (5)

“Hey, how long until the opening?”
“Right. Are you looking forward to it?”
“Can I not? How jealous she was when Delia was the only one named.”

Sujeongi said with a smirk.

At the end of her gaze, a signboard reading ‘Crystal PC’ was elegantly hung.

In the morning, after training with Delia, I lay down on the sofa and enjoyed chatting with Harin and Eunju. Sujeongi, who was next to her, kept stabbing me in the stomach with sharp eyes.

Lately, Sujeongi’s jealousy has increased significantly.

We’re always together in the evening or morning, but lately I’ve been busy targeting Naeun’s mother.

I’ve been dating steadily, but it’s inevitable that the frequency will decrease.

So when Sujeongi asked me to go for a walk in the morning, I had no choice but to nod my head willingly.

“Did you find a part-time job?”
“Yet. I’m going to post an announcement now.”

Since Delia decided to help with computer installation and setting, there was no need to find a part-time job for installation.

“Let me know when you open, okay?”
“Of course.”

Taking Sujeongi with a happy smile, I explained the structure of the PC room in a bit more detail.

Some have couple seats, some have large monitors…

Even in the empty PC room after the interior work, Soo-jung’s eyes were shining. Wouldn’t it be so nice to have her streaming nickname on her billboard?

When her mood was slightly strange, he would hug her and kiss her soft lips.

After she left the computer room, she walked around a few more places with a pod in her hand. About an hour and a half later, I escorted Sujeong back home.

Sujeongi made a bolmen sound.

“Ugh. I don’t want to go in.”
“Shall we just date the two of us all day?”
“Uh? Really?”
“What if you’re sober? Today is not a day off.”
“Huh. So I’m going to shorten it…… Whoa. It’s hard because there are so many requests for horror games these days.”

Sujeongi shook her head and kissed her lightly for the last time before she entered the house.

I went to work at the cafe as it is.

As always, after paying the money and giving back a game or two, I looked at the clock and saw that there was less than an hour and a half left until the time I had promised with Harin and Eunju.

‘Great.’

The preparations are over. I looked in the mirror and smiled contentedly.

Because I was dressed pretty well today.

It’s not just fancy, should I say it’s a coordination that doesn’t feel burdensome but gives off a clean impression.

It was the clothes I shopped with Sujeong, and I liked it anyway.

“But I’m bored…”

I muttered that while staring out the window for a moment.

Now, the stage where you have to desperately copy money has already passed, and you have risen to the top rank in the game you enjoyed, the Legend League.

After tapping the desk with my fingers for a while, I got up and went down to the first floor of the cafe.

Daughter and daughter-

There were still many guests.

Part-time workers were making menus with smiles, and customers staying at the cafe were each enjoying desserts and drinks with happy faces.

It was a heartwarming sight. After looking around the hall with a smile, I naturally looked outward.

And.

“An example?”
“Ah, Jinhyun!”

Just in time, I could see the shape of Yehwa’s mouth as if she was saying that while looking at me from outside the door.

Yehwa quickly entered the cafe.

She was about to run quickly after seeing me, but after realizing that this was a cafe with a lot of people, she calmly closed the distance with her embarrassed expression again.

“Are you with me today?”

At Yehwa’s words, I laughed lightly.

“By Bored. You want to work on?”
“Oh no, just. Stopped in for takeout. Look at your face too.”
“Okay?”

It was quite common for Yehwa to do takeout.

However, today’s takeout was a little different from usual.

Yehwa packed five cups of Americano in addition to five financiers. Looking at her, I tilted my head at her.

Yehwa had never packed so much of her coffee before.

She seemed to sense the curiosity floating in my eyes, and she said with a Betsy smile.

“I’m going to real estate.”
“Real estate?”
“Yes. Come and sign a contract for a villa that was vacant today.”
“Ah.”

I don’t know the details, but I’m sure it’s a good thing.

“Good.”
“Is not it. I wish I was someone who doesn’t make noise between floors, would I?”
“It is an issue these days. Could it be?”
“Ugh. If that’s the case, I’ll have to tell you.”

Yehwa raised her proud eyebrows and clench her fists as she did.

I looked at it cutely.

‘Come to think of it, Harin and Eunju also said they were signing a monthly rent contract this time.’

I don’t know exactly where it is, but I said it was close to a cafe.

The closer you live, the more things you will naturally see. The two haven’t even registered as heroines yet, and I haven’t thought about how to build a relationship yet…

‘First of all, while building a kind image… Okay, wouldn’t it be okay if I approached slowly?’

As expected, when I didn’t know, there seemed to be nothing better than going out in a standard way.

“If you have nothing to do, Jinhyun, would you like to go with me?”

After thinking about the two childhood friends for a while, Yehwa asked me.

“Together? Oh, on real estate?”
“Yes.”
“Is that okay?”
“Ugh. Is there anything that can’t be done?”

At Yehwa’s words, I pondered for a moment, then nodded her head. There was still some time before we met, but there was nothing bad about it.

“Yes, then.”

Naturally, I accepted the paper bag containing five cups of Americano packed by Yehwa.

“Hey.”

With one of her hands empty, she smiled broadly and folded her arms around her.

“Eat slowly.”
“It’s been a while since I ate home cooked food, so I think I like it. How is it?”
“No, I think I’m going to pretend like that.”

Kitchen decorated with white marble.

Jeong Eun-ju, sitting at her table, frantically inhaled the side dishes prepared by her parents. Her mother, Yoo Ji-sook, stared at Eun-joo, then turned her head to her husband and asked.

“Did he not like American food?”
“Hmm…”

When both father and mother touched their chins with their hands, Jeong Eun-ju, who saw that, shook her head as if not at all.

“Ah, it’s a dog.”
“Eww, swallow some and tell me.”

Mumble, gulp-

“Ugh. It was fine.”

There were more Koreans attending Berklee College of Music than I thought.

Since Massachusetts, where Boston is located, is also one of the states with a large number of Koreans, Jung Eun-joo had a not too difficult time picking out a Korean restaurant that suited her tastes.

The rice she ate in America was somehow to her liking. It’s just that the home-cooked food I’ve tasted for the first time in a long time tasted better than most American meals.

“Would you like more?”
“Uh.”
“So, are you still living in Korea?”
“Right? I might go on a trip sometimes.”
“Well, Me Tube is doing so well, but I should go on a trip before doing it.”

Jeong Eun-joo’s answer made her father smile happily and nod her head.

Her daughter has successfully completed her study abroad. She is so amazing that she safely graduated from the Berklee College of Music, and this is how she goes well on Me Tube.

Naturally, her worries about the future faded away, leaving her with only pride.

Of course, the Berklee College of Music graduation ceremony has not yet been held.

She said that her daughter did not participate in the graduation ceremony and she came to Korea, but as long as she has completed all the credits required for graduation, her diploma will come flying by itself even if she does not attend. From her father’s point of view, her daughter had already graduated from college.

“It would be nice to go on a family trip sometime.”

Jeong Eun-joo’s father, Jeong Hoo-il, muttered something while watching her daughter eat. Then Yoo Ji-suk gave him a suspicious look.

“Huh, really. When I asked to go, you said you were always busy at work?”
“Hmm. No, I didn’t want to go there for the rest of my life. Sometime, around next year, you can take a vacation and come back.”

Jung Hoo-il, who received Yu Ji-sook’s eyes, initially made a slightly stinging expression, but soon said it was not a big deal.

He gave such an excuse because he felt more comfortable just resting quietly than traveling when he was alone with his wife… But this fact was something that could not be said for the sake of peace in the marital relationship.

Yoo Ji-sook also didn’t seem to be particularly conscious of her.

“Okay. Anyway, I’m glad my daughter is doing so well. She is also graduating. Do you love your daughter?”
“Ahhh, yes.”

Jeong Eun-ju smiled happily at her mother’s praise.

Her compliments always felt good. These days, her friends, her professors, and many others have always handed her compliments toward her, but her parents’ face-to-face compliments were different.

It was a pleasant day.

However, it didn’t take long for the pleasant smile to disappear from her face.

“Now, it would be perfect if I had a boyfriend here.”

It was because my mother brought up a topic that has been creeping up lately. Jung Eun-joo put on a disgusted expression right away.

“Oh, I’ll take care of that.”

Even her father heard a word.

“Yes, why are you burdening the child?”

When Jeong Hoo-il said that, she put on an expression that Yoo Ji-sook was astounded.

“What are you talking about? You wondered if Eun-joo wasn’t dating a boyfriend, too.”
“What? This makes me a weirdo. I was just worried about meeting a tough guy. When did I do that?”
“Um… These days? Didn’t you mutter that there was no news about your boyfriend?”
“Ah.”

Jeong Hoo-il made an expression that he knew what Yoo Ji-sook was saying.

Jung Hoo-il was a father who didn’t want his daughter to date her boyfriend too lightly. I don’t know if all fathers who have pretty daughters feel that way, but at least he did.

Even when she sent her daughter to study abroad, that was the part she was most worried about.

Person.

The environment is also an environment, but the biggest concern was that Eun-joo might get stained by the strict delinquent students and get worse.

When her daughter moved to the US in middle school, he and her wife also moved to the US and lived with her, but that was only for about a year. After seeing her daughter go to school without any problems, they both returned to Korea.

It was a calculation that somehow I could do well on my own.

However, it was a different matter to have lived without any problems in the past and to live without any problems in the future.

Concerns still pierced the sky, and Jung Eun-joo’s father always asked to be absolutely careful of American children and repeatedly asked for trust.

Jeong Eun-joo seemed to be listening to what her father was saying.

Because she worked hard and focused only on polishing herself, she passed the Berklee College of Music.

No matter how much I miss it, once every few days. The information about her daughter was certain as she made video calls consistently once every 1-2 weeks.

However, as Eun-joo continued to show no particular interest in men right before she graduated, she just wondered if this kind of personality would continue a few years later.

“Anyway! Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”

Jeong Eun-joo looked at her parents resolutely in her strange atmosphere and said.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to date her boyfriend either.

It’s just that she just didn’t like being nagged at by her parents.

She said she was trying to loosen herself up a bit too now in the first place. While attending music school, she focused on music. Even so, now that her studying abroad is over and she came to Korea, shouldn’t she enjoy her daily life a little more leisurely?

When you meet a nice person, you date and do that.

“Um, yes…”

Eventually, her mother also nodded her head.

In fact, Yoo Ji-suk knew that her daughter would do well on her own.

She always brags at gatherings that she attends Berklee College of Music, but another normally silent mother brags that her daughter is seriously dating a man who goes to medical school, so she Lately, I wonder if she’s been feeling a little urged.

She quickly changed the topic.

“Anyway, they said they signed a contract today.”
“Oh, right.”
“But I managed to decide to live with Harin. I must have seen her after a long time, isn’t it awkward?”
“It’s okay. It wasn’t awkward at all.”

Jeong Eun-ju was also a bit curious about that.

Even when she met or chatted with Harin, she didn’t feel awkward. She was comfortable if she was rather comfortable.

“Yeah, I’m glad. Contact me if anything happens today. Oh, are you two meeting today?”
“No? I’m meeting Jinhyun too.”
“Yes? Jinhyun?”

When the name suddenly popped up, Jung Hoo-il’s eyes widened.

“……The other day, you asked for your contact information, so you really contacted me?”
“Yes.”

Jung Eun-joo nodded her head, and Yoo Ji-sook intervened.

“Come to think of it, what is Jinhyeon doing these days?”
“Oh, that’s-“
“I know. I just went straight to the army and it’s been about a year since I was discharged, are you repeating it?”
“Good luck? Aren’t you learning technology? I think the other day, you said you would study for a license while working part-time.”
“Well. Things like that happen, too.”

Jung Hoo-il shook his head.

Jeong Eun-joo put on a slightly absurd expression as she questioned herself and her two parents made guesses and conversed.

“I was really smart when I was young, tsk tsk.”
“You said you played when you were in middle school or high school. I can’t help it.”
“Well. Are you still out of your mind?”
“I was discharged, but I can’t believe it. And men naturally grow up late. You’ll get better with time.”

And the content of the conversation was even more absurd.

‘No, don’t my mom and dad know that Jinhyun opened a cafe?’

I’m still a relative

The gap between the Jinhyeoni she knew and the Jinhyeoni that her parents spoke of was too great.

Jung Eun-joo intervened between the two.

“No, mom and dad.”
“Yes?”
“Why?”
“Don’t you know what Jinhyun is doing?”

Jung Hu-il and Yoo Ji-sook looked at each other once and shrugged their shoulders.

“Don’t we know?”
