172 – This meeting is the opposite! (3)

Choi Yeon-ah’s appearance was so unexpected that I couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded.

Seo Yoon also quickly tried to stop Choi Yeon Ah with a puzzled expression, but Choi Yeon Ah, who was furious, gritted her teeth and shouted.

It seems that the sight of Seo-yoon doing an embarrassing cat cosplay is shocking and makes her nose stuffy.

Like, “Are you crazy, Unnie?”. Like, “What the heck is that!”. Like, “Did that guy make you do it?”. Like…

Choi Yeon-ah, who couldn’t control her boiling emotions, continued to nag with a distorted face, and Seo Yoon-i could only hesitate with an embarrassed look on her face.

Certainly, from the younger sister’s perspective, it might be difficult to tolerate Seo-yoon’s current state.

But even so, isn’t this Seo-yoon’s personal bedroom?

Moreover, they do not live together under the same roof. This mansion is private property that Seo Yoon bought on her own, and Choi Yeon Ah lives separately.

In other words, Choi Yeon-ah has no right to interfere more than necessary with whatever Seo-yoon is doing in her bedroom by inviting her boyfriend.

Of course, as sisters with a close bond, it was not unreasonable for her to be worried that her only older sister was suddenly cosplaying as a cat.

Even if someone misunderstood that I forced Seoyoon to cosplay, I had nothing to say.

I felt like I needed to talk to Choi Yeon-ah to clear up the misunderstanding.

“you!”

“… … .”

However, Seo Yoon-i, who thought she couldn’t have a rational conversation with Choi Yeon-ah, who was quite excited, asked me to leave for today, and I nodded obediently and took a step back.

Behind me, Seo Yoon and Choi Yeon Ah were talking about this and that, but I couldn’t hear them.

So I went back home for now.

When I got home, I got a call from Seo-yoon. She apologized for being rude to me and asked if she could tell me a little bit about our relationship and myself.

I smiled bitterly and replied that it was okay, and Seo-yoon hung up the phone after saying sorry at the end.

It seemed like Seo Yoon had a lot to talk about with Choi Yeon Ah.

I wish Seo Yoon could explain it step by step and convince Choi Yeon Ah, but honestly, when I think about it objectively, I have a feeling that it will be difficult.

Because Choi Yeon-ah is a person with an authoritarian mindset.

If we compare it to the Middle Ages, it would be unacceptable for me, a commoner, and Seo-yoon, who was no different from a noblewoman, to be dating.

Also, you’re not just dating Seo-yoon, right?

Even for an ordinary person, it was impossible to understand the octopus-like relationship, so there was no way someone like Choi Yeon-ah would stay still.

Maybe Choi Yeon-ah will try to break up our relationship using somewhat forceful methods.

I lay in bed with complicated thoughts.

I guess I’ll have to prepare a countermeasure for Choi Yeon-ah tomorrow…

– Tiring. Tiring.

The phone rings.

Who could it be? Could it be Seo-yoon? Do you have anything else to say?

It turned out well anyway.

Because we need to talk about countermeasures regarding Choi Yeon-ah in the future.

I was going to postpone it until tomorrow because I’m a bit tired today and have a lot to think about, but since I got a call from you again, I thought I’d ask.

“It’s not Seo-yoon, is it?”

He frowned as he looked down at his phone screen.

A phone number I’m seeing for the first time. It’s not Seo-yoon’s.

So who could be calling at this late hour?

Loan? Spam? Wrong call?

“Phew.”

Suddenly I sighed.

To be honest, it was such an obvious story that just thinking about it was a waste of time.

Even if it was a seven-year-old kid, you could probably guess who was calling, right?

‘Choi Yeon-ah, I see.’

How did this woman get my phone number?

Did Seo-yoon tell you?

Maybe I should have told you to talk about it sometime?

“hello?”

– Are you Han Seo-jun?

“yes.”

– We didn’t even have a proper conversation earlier… … I think Seojun has a lot to talk about with me, don’t you?

“Yes.”

– Okay. Then let’s meet up sometime.

“Shall we meet?”

– Yes. I feel a bit awkward talking on the phone.

Choi Yeon-ah openly encouraged them to meet and talk.

***

Daughter.

I opened the cafe door and went in slowly.

I could see a lot of people sitting around and feeling warm.

As it is a cafe chain that is popular among young people these days, it was quite crowded.

Exactly 10 minutes left until the appointment time.

Arrived at just the right time.

‘Is Choi Yeon-ah here already?’

I promised to meet Choi Yeon-ah here today.

We agreed to have a quiet talk at a cafe, but honestly, I could clearly predict that I wouldn’t hear anything good.

I’m not the type of person to just sit by and watch my only sister having fun with a womanizer(?) who’s dating many women, and there’s a high possibility that he’ll think that dating me will damage the reputation of the Ilseong Group.

It’s clear that Bona Mana will tell you to break up.

‘You’re not going to tell me to break up with you by giving me money like in the dramas, are you?’

I mentally washed my face and scratched my cheek.

I would be grateful if you would just tell me to break up with you and give me money. It would be a soft form of compromise.

However, by talking to Seo Yoon, I was able to get to know Choi Yeon-ah’s personality in more detail, and Choi Yeon-ah really was the owner of a formidable personality.

He would use any means necessary to achieve the desired result, and would endlessly exploit the weaknesses of his opponents. He could be called a truly merciless person.

‘Of course, I tried to come up with my own countermeasure with Seo-yoon, but… … .’

Honestly, I don’t want to use that method.

The effect seems really certain, but I’m afraid of the aftereffects.

When I jokingly said to Seo-yoon, “How about this method?”, the look on Seo-yoon’s face when she was so surprised and didn’t know what to do is still vivid in my mind.

If you use this method, not only Choi Yeon-ah but also other kids will be surprised.

“Hello, sir.”

While I was lost in thought, an employee came up to me and called me.

“Are you Han Seo-jun?”

“Huh? Oh, yes.”

I answered reflexively, but at the same time, I felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort. What is this? How did he know that I was Han Seo-jun? Did Choi Yeon-ah tell him?

“Choi Yeon-ah is waiting.”

The employee began to guide me with a dry voice.

Wait, wait.

Choi Yeon-ah is waiting for you?

Do you usually mention names directly?

I swallowed my curiosity and followed the employee.

The employee who reached the inside of the cafe stopped in front of one of the rooms.

And after knocking carefully on the door, he opened it in a polite voice.

“Han Seo-jun is here. Would you mind if I ask you something?”

“yes.”

As soon as permission was granted, the employee opened the door with a bang.

“hello?”

Choi Yeon-ah, who was sitting in the room, greeted me with a bright smile.

“It’s been a few days since I’ve seen you.”

“yes.”

I nodded once and went into the room.

The two of us simply ordered coffee and looked at each other as the waiter disappeared.

Choi Yeon-ah was looking at me with a smile the whole time.

The bob cut hairstyle that falls to her shoulders and the cute smile on her eyes are very charming. As expected, she is Seo-yoon’s younger sister. Her beauty is outstanding. She is several times more beautiful in person than in pictures.

“But is it okay to meet in a store like this? Even if we reserved a room, I don’t think it’s okay.”

I was worried that strange rumors would spread about Choi Yeon-ah.

Even the employees openly said in front of people, ‘Choi Yeon-ah is waiting for you.’

“Don’t worry. The employees and the customers here are all our people.”

“What do you mean?”

“Now that Seojun has arrived, I should tell everyone to leave.”

Choi Yeon-ah snapped her fingers while muttering something incomprehensible.

Then I could feel the sounds outside the room disappearing one by one.

It seems like all the store’s customers and employees have gone outside.

“There are only two of us in this store now, Seojun. So, can we talk openly?”

So you did this just so you could talk to me alone?

They simply disguised themselves as subordinates and played with puppets.

In that case, wouldn’t it have been better to meet separately at the clan house or Ilseong Group?

Why did you do this?

‘Choi Yeon-ah, what is this woman… … .’

Seo Yoon, who rented the movie theater building itself to watch a movie, and Choi Yeon Ah, who rented a cafe building and disguised her subordinates as employees and customers…

I really can’t understand the way rich girls think.

“I wanted to create a comfortable cafe atmosphere.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. But when there are people around, it’s a bit difficult to talk.”

If you think about it, it’s not just a show-off thing.

It seems like a performance to gain the upper hand.

It also seems to indirectly express one’s authority and power.

‘Is this some kind of pressure?’

Since I started acting like this, I could tell what Choi Yeon-ah thought of me without even looking at the video.

“Okay, then, should I introduce myself? As you may know, my name is Choi Yeon-ah. I am the managing director in charge of business strategy at Il Sung Hotel. Well, if you want to call it a parachute, then it is a parachute.”

I stared intently at Choi Yeon-ah’s face, who was smiling brightly and making jokes.

She started out as the planning team manager at Ilseong Hotel and worked her way up to her current position.

Since I joined Ilseong Hotel, there have been rumors going around that ‘the chairman of Ilseong Group is planning to pass the hotel down to his daughter’, and it seems to be true.

Looking back, Choi Yeon-ah was particularly favored by the chairman of Il Sung Group.

This is because he has shown the most outstanding management skills and achievements among his brothers and sisters.

Of course, the eldest son and eldest daughter are no pushovers either, so the succession plan is quite interesting and serious, but it has nothing to do with me.

“I am…….”

“Name: Han Seojun, age: 26. Graduated from Hunter Academy without any notable achievements. After working as a porter for several years, he obtained an E-rank license and is currently on a roll using various abilities. His level as a hunter is estimated to be around A-rank.”

Choi Yeon-ah, who had been reciting my personal information, looked straight into my eyes and smiled brightly.

“Right?”

“yes.”

“I did a little research on Seojun.”

“Are you saying you did a background check?”

“Yes. Are you feeling unwell?”

Don’t ask openly while smiling slightly.

“I apologize if you felt offended. I’m sorry, Seojun. I was just curious about the person you were meeting.”

“No, well. I can understand.”

I took a sip of coffee.

Since you’re speaking so openly, I have nothing to say.

“thank god.”

Choi Yeon-ah also spoke while pouring coffee.

“But Seojun.”

“yes.”

“Are you saying that you’re seeing other women besides your sister?”

I made a perplexed expression on my face at the question that came in so sharply. Should I get straight to the point without thinking about the consequences?

“Wow, you’re saying that you’re in a close relationship with Lee Ji-hyun, Ryu Ye-rin, and Kang Hwa-ryeon? That’s amazing.”

“… … .”

Choi Yeon-ah made a slightly surprised expression and then crossed one leg.

“Mr. Seojun. Mr. Han Seojun.”

Choi Yeon-ah flicks the coffee cup with one finger and starts singing in a cool voice.

“I mean, I hate you.”

The face was smiling, but it was a smile filled with anger and hostility.

“I heard from my sister. She really likes Seojun. And I also heard about Seojun’s ability. It’s called absorption ability, right? That’s why my sister’s telepathy ability doesn’t work on him.”

“yes.”

Choi Yeon-ah smiled and laughed.

“Honestly, from my perspective, I think you might have misunderstood.”

“What do you mean?”

“My sister, you know. She suffered from telepathy since she was little. Do you know how painful it is to be able to read people’s thoughts and emotions, Seojun? Because of that, no one was around her. She was almost always alone.”

Choi Yeon-ah recalls old memories with a slightly pitiful expression.

“You must have been really lonely. Even though you had Soyeon and Gyuseong by your side, there must have been a loneliness that couldn’t be filled.”

Suddenly, Choi Yeon-ah looks at me.

“And then you showed up. You’re the only human being free from telepathy. So maybe you thought I liked you? You must have missed the embrace of people.”

I thought so at first, but Seo-yoon denied it several times.

It’s not that I like it because I simply don’t have telepathy.

I believe what Seo-yoon says.

“Even if Choi Yeon-ah is Seo-yoon’s family, it’s a bit much to judge her so rashly.”

Choi Yeon-ah looked at me with a face that said, ‘Look at this?’

“I think you would know better than Seojun, at least?”

“Well, that’s fine… … .”

I shrugged.

“Because of her telepathy ability, Choi Yeon-ah didn’t spend much time with Seo-yoon, right? Seo-yoon might have been a bit reluctant as well.”

“Seojun, I’ve seen a lot of people like you. People who live off of those around them and suck their breath.”

“You’re going a bit too far.”

“Is that really so? How much have you gotten from your sister? And what have you done for her?”

“… … .”

It leaves me speechless.

“It would be good to meet someone who is on the same level as you. Seojun and my sister live in different worlds.”

“So, what do you want to say?”

“Okay. I won’t make a long story short. Break up with your sister.”

“I don’t like it.”

“Is that so?”

Choi Yeon-ah laughed again.

now.

Is it starting to really come out now?
