170 – This meeting is the opposite! (1)

“?”

Question marks floated over my head.

It’s because of Seo Yoon’s unexpected words.

Cat? What kind of cat is this all of a sudden?

So I tilt my head once and ask a question.

“Seo-yoon, did you raise a cat?”

Since it was the first time I had heard this story, I blinked my eyes to express my doubts.

The story about Seo-yoon raising a pet felt a little out of place, even when including memories from before her regression.

Seo Yoon-i hesitated for a moment when asked such a question, and without being able to give a proper answer, she glanced at Cha So-yeon’s face. Cha So-yeon opened her lips as if she had no choice.

“Actually, the young lady adopted a cat a while ago.”

“Is that so?”

Seoyoon has a cat?

If you think about it, it’s not that strange.

That’s understandable. Seo Yoon has trouble getting along with people because of her telepathy ability.

There are many people who keep pets to relieve loneliness, so it wouldn’t be a problem if Seo-yoon kept a cat.

However, it is a little strange that Seo-yoon, who had never raised a pet before returning, adopted a cat now.

… … I guess raising a cat is just an excuse?

Suddenly, I began to have doubts.

“How old is your cat? And by the way, what breed is it?”

“5 months old, Russian Blue.”

“Oh. Russian Blue, that’s nice.”

I was suspicious so I asked her a question about cats, and Cha So-yeon answered without hesitation.

The Russian Blue is a bit expensive, but it is gentle and cute, so it is popular for many reasons. It is also called the aristocrat of short-haired dogs, perhaps because of its silver fur, green eyes, and luxurious atmosphere. I have also seen it on video a few times, and it is really pretty.

“But isn’t it a bit strange to go see a cat at this hour?”

Regardless of whether or not she actually raised a cat, it was almost nighttime at the moment, making it a bit ambiguous to visit Seo-yoon’s house without caution.

Although Seo-yoon was living in a separate mansion after becoming independent from Ilseong Group, several servants were also staying there along with Seo-yoon.

Because of Seo Yoon’s dislike of people, the number of servants was very small compared to the size of the mansion, but she didn’t want to cause trouble by visiting late at night on the weekend.

I think you’re probably resting comfortably by now.

If a guest suddenly comes at this time, wouldn’t it be a bit awkward for the employee?

And also… … First of all, it’s your girlfriend’s house, right?

If you go there and the atmosphere becomes a bit awkward for no reason… … .

‘… … .’

Suddenly, Jihyun’s face appeared in my mind.

After all the things I did with Jihyun, I felt a little reluctant to visit Seoyoon’s house on this late night.

Honestly, now that I think about it, it’s funny that I even felt any resistance to these things.

Also, I’m not cheating or anything, and Seo-yoon was one of my lovers just like Ji-hyeon.

But what should I say?

Should I say something like that?

It’s hard to explain in words, but I felt a pang in my chest and a strange sense of guilt.

And I started dating Yerin before Seoyoon, so if I did something like that with Seoyoon first, Yerin might feel disappointed.

Because it is highly likely that they have established their own priorities.

‘… … Oh, man. What am I thinking? Let’s not drink kimchi stew for no reason.’

Suddenly, I came to my senses and shook my head.

There is nothing more foolish than worrying about how to eat rice cake when the other person has no intention of giving it to you.

‘Maybe you just want to show the cat some stuff?’

If Jihyun or Yerin had invited me, I would have thought, ‘This is crazy!’, but this time, it was Seoyoon who invited me, so I was a little confused.

Considering Seo-yoon’s personality, who is the most quiet and cautious(?) among the people I know, it was inevitable that I would have doubts.

If she called her boyfriend to see a real cat and he was thinking dark thoughts, it would be very difficult for Seo-yoon.

You might be thinking to yourself, ‘This guy is really horny. Is all he has in mind is getting laid? What a disappointment.’

That’s not enough.

“It’s getting late… … Is that so… … ?”

As I remained silent, Seo-yoon took it as a rejection and muttered quietly with a slightly sad face.

Seo-yoon’s face, weakly sobbing while watching me closely, looked a little pitiful.

It seems like he’s even a little discouraged.

“… … .”

At that sight, Cha So-yeon looked at me with a slightly more stiff expression on her face.

Although her face was as indifferent as usual, I could sense an inexplicable pressure in her eyes.

Those eyes seemed to be saying, ‘Please tell me it’s okay.’ So I quickly nodded.

“I feel a little bad about coming at this hour… … If it’s okay with you, can I go see the cat?”

He’s not the kind of person who would be tactless enough to decline an invitation.

And then when you become lovers, it’s almost like your first date.

Seo-yoon must have summoned up her courage to invite him.

‘… … Well, there’s no way Seo-yoon would have invited me with such strange intentions. Let’s just chat quietly and come back after seeing some cats.’

I shook off my dark thoughts and smiled bitterly, and Seo-yoon smiled with a slightly excited face.

“Yeah, of course. Of course.”

When I saw Seo-yoon’s brightened complexion, I also felt a little better.

“Then we will move to the mansion.”

Cha So-yeon also showed a satisfied expression.

Cha So-yeon looks at me and Seo-yoon, nodding alone.

I thought it would be difficult to read her emotions because she always had a blank expression, but when it came to things related to Seo-yoon, it was somewhat easier to read her emotions.

“Okay, then let’s go.”

So, Seo Yoon and I got into the car following Cha So Yeon’s instructions… … Huh?

‘What is this feeling?’

Just before getting into the vehicle.

I quickly turned my head.

Because I felt a strong gaze.

It was only a fleeting moment, but I felt a sharp gaze, as if it was skimming my skin.

My spine felt chilled as the fluffy things stood on end.

What on earth is it?

Who is watching?

Maybe it’s the paparazzi.

“What’s wrong?”

“Because I felt your gaze.”

“Your gaze?”

Seoyoon looked at me with a puzzled expression and then looked around.

Seo-yoon slowly looked around for a while, but she didn’t find anyone special, so she used her telepathy ability.

But he tilted his head and turned his gaze towards me again, as if he hadn’t noticed anyone.

“It seems like there’s no one around… … .”

“I didn’t feel any sign of life either.”

Seeing the two of them talking like that, I guess I was mistaken.

Because there are almost no people who can escape the senses of Seo Yoon, an S-rank ability user, and Cha So Yeon, an A-rank ability user.

Unless you are at least an S-rank ability user or an A-rank ability user specializing in stealth, you will not be able to escape the senses of those two people.

And Seo-yoon also used her telepathy ability, right?

Even if the person secretly watching is Jihyun, he cannot completely escape from the ability to telepathize.

It looks like my guess was correct.

“Then shall we go, Seojun?”

“huh.”

After shaking off any hint of uneasiness, I got into the car with Seo-yoon.

What kind of cat is Seo-yoon raising?

I was a little curious.

***

“… … .”

There was a person who was watching Han Seo-jun and his group from a slightly distant place.

Shadows were writhing in the darkness, as if they had merged with the shadows.

And then, from within the intimate shadows, a man in a suit suddenly popped out.

It was none other than O Se-Gyeon.

He was the closest associate of Choi Yeon-ah, the second daughter of Ilseong Group, and a high-ranking capable person.

Oh Se-Kyun, who was always by Choi Yeon-Ah’s side, was a loyal person to the point that he was called Choi Yeon-Ah’s friend or dagger.

O Se-Gyeon’s specialty is stealth maneuvers.

It can completely hide your appearance, presence, heat, and even smell.

Because of this, it is undetectable unless it is really serious.

Of course, it would have been very difficult to escape Choi Seo-yoon’s telepathy ability with just Oh Se-gyeon’s ability, but thanks to the ring-shaped treasure that Choi Yeon-ah gave him, he was able to escape from the telepathy ability without a hitch.

But what just happened?

I almost got caught by Han Seo-jun, right?

‘… … How did you notice?’

I couldn’t figure out how he could have penetrated the stealth ability that was so good that he could fool even Choi Seo-yoon and Cha So-yeon.

Although her abilities were slightly disturbed when she heard that Han Seo-jun was being invited to her home, she was still not at a level where she would fall for someone like Han Seo-jun.

However, contrary to Oh Se-Gyeon’s expectations, Han Seo-Jun looked around as if he had sensed someone’s gaze.

That too, towards the place where O Se-Gyeon is.

‘… … It wasn’t just that I got lucky and got the first girl.’

Oh Se-Gyeon stared blankly at the back of the car for a moment with a certain admiration before deciding to report to Choi Yeon-Ah.

Personally, I was a little curious about Han Seo-jun, but I had to report to you anyway.

– … … What did you say?

As I explained in detail what had happened so far, the girl spat out the words in a trembling voice.

– So, you just invited this human to your house?

“yes.”

When Oh Se-Kyun gave a short answer, Choi Yeon-Ah felt her heart sink. Her hands were trembling. It had been a long time since she felt like this. Choi Yeon-Ah clenched her teeth. Her teeth were slightly chattering.

– How could you invite a man like that to your home? How… … .

“Miss. Calm down.”

– You look serious now! If you invite that human into your house, you know what he’s going to do!

Choi Yeon-ah couldn’t calm her excited heart.

I said that the black-haired beast was not to be taken in… … .

Choi Yeon-ah bit her fingernails with an anxious expression because she could tell what would happen if she brought someone like Han Seo-jun into her home.

My sister may have invited me to her house with pure(?) intentions, but how could men who know how to tease her lower body understand her feelings?

I’m sure he’ll try to trip up my sister somehow!

– That fucking human.

How would a mother feel if she found out by chance that her daughter, whom she raised as a precious child, had a boyfriend who was a punk and was trying to invite him to her house without permission?

Of course, the circumstances were different, but that never mattered to Choi Yeon-ah now.

Because now I’m about to be harassed by that black-haired punk.

– Stop it… … .

“yes?”

– Stop it right now… …! Whether it’s breaking into my sister’s house or causing a ruckus, stop it right now!

“……miss.”

“No, no. I’ll go myself.”

Choi Yeon-ah quickly changed into her going-out clothes.

– I’ll go myself, so Mr. O-Gyeon, please keep an eye on what your older sister and that punk do.

“It’s difficult to enter Miss Choi Seo-yoon’s mansion without permission. The security is tight. No matter how much you use your abilities, there’s a high chance of being caught.”

– Tsk.

It was Choi Yeon-ah who clicked her tongue briefly.

I told her to stop her somehow, whether it was through teasing or causing a ruckus, but I knew better than anyone that it would be difficult.

– Then let me call my sister to kill some time… … What, her phone is turned off?

Was it because it was a date with Han Seo-jun?

It seemed like the phone was turned off on purpose.

Then should I call Cha So-yeon?

No, you don’t have to do that. It’s better to just hurry up and go when it’s time to make the call.

– It’s a good thing that it’s come to this. I need to see Han Seo-jun’s face in person.

“miss…….”

– Please wait near my sister’s house. When I come, give me the ring.

“yes…….”

If we barge into Choi Seo-yoon’s house at this time, it could be revealed that we were tailing her.

Oh Se-Gyeon was full of worries in many ways.

***

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here.”

Arriving at Seo Yoon’s mansion, I walked forward with a brief exclamation of admiration.

It was Seo-yoon’s house that I had visited for the first time in a long time since losing my memory, so I felt a new sense of emotion. I remembered that I was so nervous back then that I couldn’t even look around properly. Ha. Thinking back now, it feels a bit strange. I was really flustered.

“So what about the cat?”

“Oh, a cat… … .”

Before I knew it, I had arrived at Seo-yoon’s room.

When I casually asked her about the cat, Seoyoon trailed off.

I thought there would be a cat in the room, but no matter how much I looked, there was no cat.

“I’m going to bring the cat… … Could you, could you wait in the room for a moment?”

It seems like it’s somewhere else.

The mansion is so large that there must be a separate house for the cats.

Maybe the space the cat lives in is bigger than my house? Hmm. The cat’s fortune is good.

I was staring blankly at the door that Seo-yoon had closed, then suddenly turned my gaze and looked around the room carefully.

By the way, this is Seo-yoon’s room.

It was quite neat and tidy.

For some reason, it felt strange to see Seo-yoon alone in the room.

‘You said Russian Blue, right? I’m looking forward to it. Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask the cat’s name. What’s its name?’

I waited for Seo-yoon to return for a while.

And then,

– Smart.

“Hey, I brought a cat. Can I come in?”

“Huh? Of course. But is it really necessary to ask me? It’s your room after all.”

“… … Oh, right.”

I tilted my head as I heard Seo-yoon’s voice flustered slightly outside the door.

Why are you doing that?

“Then, I’ll go in. But Soyeon unnie… … Is this really okay?”

“Of course, miss. It’s quite popular on the Internet.”

“Oh, I see.”

Seo-yoon, who had been chatting with Cha So-yeon outside for a while, slowly began to open the door… … .

“huh?”

“Ah, that, that’s… … .”

I could see the cat’s ears standing up.

Seoyoon, wearing black cat ears and clothes, glanced at me with an embarrassed face.

Secondly, as to why Seoyoon has a cat cosplay costume, no, wait a minute. What is this?

“Hey, meow… … .”

Suddenly, there was Seo-yoon, with a bright red face, her eyes tightly shut, and a cat-like cry.
