Chapter 271 – Chapter 271 – The Protagonist Is Captured (11)

“How’s the Vietnam contract going?”

The high-pitched yet heavy voice of a woman wet the car seat low.

“It’s going smoothly. Five candidates have been selected in Hanoi, and they are currently reviewing the details.”
“It’s good.”

Rollsbourg, one of the world’s leading automobile brands.

A woman in the back seat of the brand’s most luxurious vehicle sipped her tea elegantly and nodded her head.

Joo Ah-rim.
The first daughter of the CEO of Royal Hands Hotel.

To be precise, the first daughter of the chairman who owns the hotel brand ‘Hans’, she travels back and forth to Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai, Beijing, New York, and Chicago, where six of the eight hotels operated by Hanz are located, and her father manages the brand management. Was learning

Although she has spent most of her time abroad since graduating from university, she has decided to change her lifestyle starting this week by staying mostly in Korea and only going abroad for her work.

The reason is because of the new ultra-large resort hotel to open in Jeju Island.

1st store in Seoul. Hanz, which has its second hotel in Busan, operated all of its third to eighth branches as overseas branch hotels.

Therefore, I had been thinking about re-establishing the 9th store in Korea, but the mega-scale hotel resort business in Jeju Island had finally reached its completion stage.

The idea of ​​the project began 10 years ago, and in a few months, the enormous ‘Jeju Grand World Hands’ will be completed in a theme park with all leisure facilities such as a water park, golf course, and casino.

‘If Jeju Grand World opens safely… And the expansion project goes well in Hanoi, the brand image will be further enhanced.’

Joo Ah-rim, who thought so as she crossed her arms, was immersed in her thoughts as she saw the mark of the first branch of the Hanz Hotel, the ‘Royal Hans Hotel’, which was about to arrive.

The starting point of the hotel brand Hanz.

It is the second hotel in Korea to be listed in the GHW (Grand Hotels of the World), which says that only luxury hotels around the world can join.

Royal Hanz Hotel was a filial hotel that worked well without much attention and continued to raise the value of its name in Korea.

Looking at the large building, Joo Ah-rim enjoyed a good feeling with a humane smile that others would not see.

And this time, he thought of one of his younger sisters who was staying at that hotel, whom he only saw occasionally.

‘Harin…’

Joo A-rim slightly turned his head.

“Come to think of it, how is Harin doing?”

The attendant in her passenger seat immediately answered her question.

“Yes, you seem to be doing well. This time, I met all the conditions for early graduation…”
“No, not that.”

Juarem cut him off.

“Yes?”
“After graduation, do you have any plans to work with me?”
“Ah yes. That……”

Hearing the pitiful voice of the man who couldn’t finish his answer, Joo Ah-rim let out a weak sigh.

There are still a lot of things to pay attention to in the future with Jeju Grand World.

‘I can’t join right after graduating, but what the hell am I doing?’

Joo Ah-rim frowned, and the attendant, who checked her face in the rearview mirror, swallowed in tension.

She didn’t quite understand her one and only sister.

There was a five-year age difference, so it was understandable. She could not find any reason why she would not think of climbing the well-paved stairs, and would deliberately take the rough road with no set path.

‘In the past, I listened very well.’

From the time Arim Joo took her toes, she did not forget Harin, who was receiving education for gifted children.

Even though her parents scolded her a lot, Harin showed her strong side by holding back her tears even when it was difficult from a young age. To the point where she says that she is also her own sister.

However, one day it suddenly became difficult, and I hate Mom and Dad! As she did, she ran out, and she seemed to get a little weird as she started hanging out with her weird friends who lived in the neighborhood.

Her playtime naturally increased, and during her elementary school years she even rebelled against something she hadn’t done before.

Although her father seems strict on the outside, he is soft on Harin.

Her moderation let her play.

Still, as she entered middle school, she fell out with them again, and she wondered if she was studying well and going to school…

‘When she graduates from college, will she live on her own for a year?’

Ju Ah-rim, who heard from her mother a few months ago that her Harin had said such a story, was dumbfounded and felt like running away.

She also hangs out with her pathetic kids in her childhood for so long that you wonder if the aftermath is still there.

‘How much can I learn in one year?’

Ju Arim shook her head.

After all, her father allowed her to do whatever she wanted for a year or so if she graduated early, so she couldn’t really change anything herself, but…

‘Still, I’ll have to give a sermon when I meet him.’

A car arriving at the hotel.

In it, A-rim Ju, who opened her eyes sharply, began to organize in her head one by one the contents of the sermon to her sister.

* * *

3rd floor of Royal Hands Hotel.

“Wow, that’s wide.”

When she arrived at the hotel buffet, Da-jung, who looked around her, exclaimed.

She felt that the other day, when she visited Ye Gallery, it was really luxurious inside. Because the buffet itself is like a hall.

The taste of the food was quite good, and it was a good place for an awards ceremony.

The time is 4:50 PM.

She arrived about 10 minutes early, but there were quite a few people.

It has to be.

2 Grand Prizes, 3 Grand Prizes, 5 Excellence Awards, 20 Encouragement Awards, and 3 Special Awards. There were a lot of people I could invite per person, and there were a lot of people who would receive awards.

Maybe that’s why Da-jung seemed a little nervous.

“Oh, brother.”
“Yes?”
“This… Shouldn’t I just go upstairs and say my acceptance speech…?”

Da-jeong’s lips, looking at me, were more pursed than usual.

Even her eyes, which always showed her sparkling, confident and strong look, were clearly nervous as much as today.

I laughed lightly.

“Ah, it’s not like that.”
“Really?”

In line with Da-jeong’s mood, who seemed to be asking me to say yes, I nodded.

“Then, just get the prize and come down. After it’s all over, why don’t we go up together and just take pictures of ourselves? There are people who haven’t come at all.”

In the first place, if I had to give my acceptance speech and there was such a thing, I would not have given a little word to prepare in advance. I thought so.

“I wish I could…”

That’s why Da-jung answered like that, but…

.
.
.

“Here are the grand prize winners! First of all, a cartoon that did not miss the first place in the romance category throughout this contest! Yoon Da-jeong, who was in charge of writing and drawing for ‘Sky Blue Light Purple’! Congratulations. Please come forward.”

After some time, the awards ceremony began with a free meal time, and Da-jeong, who finally came forward with a happy expression when it was her turn, was greatly embarrassed by the moderator’s words.

“Congratulations. It looks like your family came to congratulate you on winning the grand prize. Would it be okay to say something about your feelings?”
“Uh? Yes yes? Cow, how do you feel?”

Just looking at it, it’s a very disconcerting sight. Look at your expression.

“Yes, just one word.”
“Hey, uh, that’s, uhm…… I think I’m really happy to win an award…”

Is it because Da-jeong is the only high school student among the winners, or is it because she is the grand prize? The moderator asked about the acceptance speech, which was not even asked by others.

Of course, he seemed a little embarrassed as well, perhaps not knowing that Da-jeong would be so embarrassed.

Anyway, there were a few incidents like that, but because Da-jung was so cute, she burst into laughter here and there, and her short acceptance speech ended well.

Da-jeong, who came down with her fancy plaque, sat down next to me with her melancholy expression on her face.

“Ugh, why only me…”
“Oh, it was so cute.”

When I saw Da-jung and smiled in love, she put on a happy expression for a moment, then regained her senses and pouted her lips.

“Huh……! Lie. I was very strange…”
“No, it was very cute.”
“Oh really. Don’t keep teasing me.”
“Because it’s true.”

As Da-jung and I were arguing, Na-eun’s mother, who was next to her, also overheard a word.

“Yeah, how cute was that. Hey, did you film the video?”
“Yes? What is it video?”
“Yes. Here.”

Da-jeong widened her eyes at the presence of her suddenly popping out video, and her mother just played the video to her daughter with her smile on her face.

[Hey, uh, that’s, uhm…… I think I’m really happy to win an award…]

“Ah! What are you doing mom! Why are you filming that!”
“It’s a historic moment, so I have to film it.”
“No! Erase it quickly yes?”
“I don’t like it.”

Ignoring her pleading sweetheart, her mother shook her head, and she soon returned the cell phone she took the video to to its original owner.

“Uh?”
“Huh.”

And when I received the cell phone from Naeun’s mother, I twisted the corners of my mouth with a very evil expression I had never seen before.

“Uhhh, I’ll have to use it later-.”
“Give it to me-!”

Shush, shushuk, shush, shushuk, shush-

“Daddy, erase it quickly!”

Shyuk, shushuk, shook-

Well……
But in my opinion, wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to do this now than to say it in a trembling acceptance speech?

Anyway, the childish fight between me and Da-jeong that happened for a short while ended with my victory.

Hehe…”
“Heh heh, where are you going to beat an oppa like the sky?”

Da-jung put on a frustrated expression, but seemed to give up, and I smiled triumphantly after uploading the video to the harem group chat room.

After that, we quietly sat down and watched the rest of the ceremony.

After the awards were all over, there was talk of how the webtoon series of the award-winning works would proceed in the future.

The target period is 3 months, and they say it would be nice if the series started at the same time as the school season next year…

If you listen to that, the main content was that each of you should set a date and talk in detail.

After announcing the overall plan, there was free photo time, and Da-jung stuck right next to me, showing off her raised nose and taking pictures. All the tension seemed to be gone now.

“Wow, but the prize money of 50 million won is really great!”

Dajeong’s performance in this contest was 2nd overall.

The first place was almost impossible to win because it was written with a thrilling narrative along with a great sense of immersion in school violence and Iljin, which boasts unrivaled popularity.

Rather, isn’t Da-jung, who won 2nd place overall for romance and won the grand prize and 50 million won in prize money, really great?

“Phew, now I can eat with peace of mind.”

Even during the awards ceremony, food was free, but Da-jung did not empty the plate very much.

“Didn’t the rice go over?”
“Hee hee, yes.”

Even after the award ceremony is over, you can eat freely.

After everything was over, we finally started to eat comfortably.

While enjoying various dishes while talking happily, Da-jung’s gaze suddenly turned toward the entrance of the buffet.

Then her pupils widened to the size of a lantern.

“Huh… Awesome. That sister is really pretty.”
“Yes? Where?”
“There, there.”

At Da-jeong’s words, Yoo-jung turned her head to see if she was curious.

“Wow… That’s right.”

When Yu-jeong’s sister looked at her entrance and admired it, Na-eun’s mother also turned her head, and she too made an admiring expression.

I tilted my head.

No, what is it

“What? How pretty is that?”
“Ouch! Don’t look at my brother.”

When I tried to turn my head at the reaction of the three, Da-jung hurriedly spurred her seat and tried to cover my eyes with me.

“Okay. You can’t look!”

Yu-jeong’s older sister also assisted immediately, and her two sisters attacked me as a group, but…

Cancer. There’s no way.

Shyuk, shushyuk-

I naturally escaped from Da-jeong and Yoo-jung’s noona’s hands and easily turned my head.

“Ah!”
“Oh!”

And.

“Five……”

I noticed a certain admirable person standing near the entrance to the buffet.

A woman with silky, pale purple hair. She was wearing a neat suit and showed off a model-like fit.

A body that can be said to be the golden ratio, with fine features.

As soon as my eyes widened when I saw my heroines including Delia and Yehwa, it was to the point that I automatically said that I was pretty too.

‘By the way……’

It’s very pretty, but…

I swallowed inwardly.

He has a very good temper, and he seems very strong.

Thick eyebrows and raised eyes.

The word “Looks like a dog” Fits the bill.

Yehwa and her style seemed a bit different. As for Yehwa, she usually keeps her distance from people she sees for the first time, but is generally kind, but if you want to say she’s not a bastard, her original personality comes out.

Before I straddled Yu-jeong’s older sister or Da-jeong over Su-jeong, she was kind to me, but after I realized I was straddling her, she hardly treated me like a human being.

Especially when she was caught sucking a fork once, she really gave me a look of contempt.

But that woman seemed to have that kind of eyes by default.

Anyway, that grumpy-looking older sister looked around the buffet for a while, frowned slightly, then turned around and went out again.

“……”

I watched her go out and touched her chin a little.

‘By the way… Looking closely at her face, it seems that she resembles someone…’

Who is it.
I’m sure he resembled someone…

Hmm.

“……?”

I sat there and pondered who the woman resembled, and suddenly, three stinging eyes pierced my body.

When I turned around and looked forward again, Da-jung and Yoo-jung’s older sister, and even Naeun Ma-man, were giving me suspicious eyes.

“……”
“……”
“……”

……Ah.
What.

I just thought I looked like someone, I didn’t think anything particularly suspicious or dirty…

However, since I have a criminal record, I can’t really say anything to them.

I also looked at it for a while.

“Hmmmm.”

I cleared my throat as if it was nothing, and then pierced the meat on the plate with a fork and put it in my mouth.

Mmm, delicious.

I wanted to resume eating naturally as it is.

“……”
“……”
“……”

The suspicious eyes of the three did not intend to disappear.
