Chapter 344 – Video Interview
Sitting alone in a noisy restaurant was harder than I thought. The staff was busy serving and didn’t notice. It was difficult for me because of the people around me who glanced at me.
It seemed so strange to them that a man sat alone at the table. Even if I tried to kill time while looking at my smartphone, I couldn’t stay still because of my unbroken gaze.
With my daughter!
As soon as I heard the small bell, I turned my head toward the doorway. In my field of vision, I saw Olivia with only her head poking out through the glass door that reflected the dark night street.
“Oh, here it is!”
She deliberately called her out in her rather loud voice. I held up her hand to let the people around me know that I wasn’t alone and that I was here.
“Ah!”
When she found my location, Olivia called me by the name she built to laugh.
“Husband!”
What a husband! With mourning!
Olivia, that is, when I met Taeyeon, I wanted to ask this first. What do you mean she has to take care of the baby? But after seeing her walk into her restaurant, she changed her toss of her question.
“Isn’t it cold wearing that?”
Taeyeon’s outfit didn’t suit the cold windy late winter weather. A black leather jacket, jeans that showed off the leg line, and a sweatshirt inside were all.
“What, does it look cold?”
She smiled and was silent for a moment as she took off her shoes. She replied as she roughly tidied up her shoes and climbed onto the floor.
“The weather has gradually improved. Enough of this.”
“Then you catch a cold.”
“Are you okay. Don’t die I have already died once, will I die again?”
“What are you talking about?”
After answering the strange joke, I waited for Taeyeon to sit in the seat in front of me.
As she sat down, taking off her leather jacket, she looked at her cutlery and raised her mouth.
“Oh, husband.”
“Why.”
“Is this why you’re dating two girlfriends? Do you have sense?”
“No it’s not?”
“What. He said he was dating two people. So, was that a lie?”
“It’s true.”
“What are you talking about. Aren’t there two of you?”
“That’s right. Not two.”
At my words, as she was eating her side dish with chopsticks, she stopped her hand. She didn’t move as if she was frozen, then looked at me and asked.
“How many are there?”
“Three people. And the other one is someone you know.”
“Who? Surely you’re not an idol or a famous person?”
“No. Prettier than them You know Sarah, who used to go with me. I don’t remember.”
“Uh, what is it? Is he here too?”
“The Demon King is also here, so there is no such thing as him. Anyway, I’m meeting him too.”
“Hey, husband. Are you really too?”
“What am I?”
Taeyeon ate her side dish again. She continued her speech so she was munching on herbs.
“Do you finally accept what you didn’t accept in your previous life when you come here?”
“Because I didn’t know. But did you know I should have told you.”
“I was going to talk, but you went away.”
“You can let me know by letter.”
“I didn’t know what to write then. Wait a minute, didn’t you know?”
“What. Then who wrote the letter?”
“My lady-in-waiting, who is she? He had red hair and a mole above his right eyebrow.”
“Merry? Wasn’t it Mary? He, the Duchess’ sister.”
“Oh right. It was mary She is so old that I forgot.”
Apparently, it was during the day that I reunited with her. However, the atmosphere we were talking about now felt like we knew each other well.
After talking like that, I ordered 3 servings of pork belly and soju. When the restaurant lady brought alcohol and meat, she talked while grilling the meat.
“Then why did you ask to meet today?”
“Huh?”
“The text message earlier said it couldn’t work today. I heard you have dinner plans.”
“Ah, that.”
Actually, today I was going to have dinner with the demon king’s family. However, she refuses to sit down to eat in order to meet Taeyeon.
“I ate first.”
Didn’t come She delayed meeting with Taeyeon a little, and came here after asking her mother and her father for their understanding.
Ugh! Ugh!
Of course, it wasn’t just the two of them who asked for forgiveness.
I looked at the smartphone that was on the table. On the screen, there was a phrase saying that I would like to make a video call. When I saw the name of a group chat room used by our lovers, I thought I had to accept it unconditionally.
Before receiving it, I asked Taeyeon.
“Can I take this?”
“Who?”
“My girlfriends. I said I wanted to see you once, is it okay?”
“Okay. I’ve been wanting to see Sarah for the first time in a while.”
I got permission and pressed the call button. Then, the faces of Mawang, Se-hee, and Min-a appeared on the quadrilateral screen, and the video call began.
-Uh! You! It took too long!
-Where are you now? Surely it’s not a motel?
– Long time no see, ma’am.
“Say only one person! Only one person!”
As soon as the call started, no one said anything first, he just said what he had to say. Still, he managed to intervene and took out his smartphone and showed Taeyeon.
“Oh, tell me.”
-…
-…
-…
“Aren’t you talking?”
– I was waiting to see who would speak first.
“Then you tell me. You said it first.”
The Demon King was given the right to speak by selecting a leader in the group assignment.
-Well then, Jim speaks first.
The demon king made a serious expression on the small screen. Then he asked me and my ex-wife in a non-playful voice.
-Are you guys sure it’s not a motel?
“Because this is a speaker phone?!”
It was fortunate that the surroundings were noisy. The demon king’s unique way of speaking and its content almost made people around him hear it.
I checked the reaction of the seat next to me and confirmed that I hadn’t heard. Then, facing the screen again, he shouted in a small voice.
“What is this place, a motel? Can’t you see this is a restaurant?”
I turned my smartphone around so that the demon king could see it. When the front camera showed the inside of the restaurant, a voice said yes.
-Hmm, that’s right. Then show me your X wife.
“Hey.”
I protested lightly but obediently showed Taeyeon on camera. Then, the demon king moaned for a long time as if evaluating something.
– Hmmm…
“Why, what is it?”
– How do you see it?
“What.”
-How pretty, how attractive, things like that.
“Uh?”
-You can evaluate it. What do you think?
“Hey. It’s right in front of you, right now.”
At what I said, Taeyeon nodded her head with an okay face.
“Uh, don’t worry. Tell me, tell me.”
“Really?”
“Then will you tell me a lie? How do I look? Pretty?”
I closely observed Taeyeon, who spoke like a red mask ghost story. She was an outstanding beauty befitting the wife of a warrior who was the savior of the kingdom.
The neutral atmosphere that made it hard to confuse whether she was a woman or a man, her eyes as bright as the sun, and even the little dot on her left chin that drew attention for some reason. She was a look that could not be called ugly even if it was a lie.
“Pretty.”
Despite my honest answer, the Demon King didn’t look bad.
-Hmm, do you think you’re more beautiful than Jim?
“…”
– Haha. That’s enough.
Rather, he seemed happy. She laughed as if she was in a good mood and this time she said to me holding her smartphone.
– Then sleep. I want to see your face now.
“Look how handsome you are.”
-That’s not true.
“Hey.”
While arguing lightly, she faced the demon king on the screen.
“Why? Do you have something to say?”
-That’s not it. I want to see even a little more of your face.
“Lie…”
-Does it show a lot?
“Not that much.”
-I’m sorry.
What’s the pity?
After talking a few more words with me, the demon king passed the right to speak to the next person.
-So, who will talk this time?
-Me.
It was Sehee who raised her voice.
-Hey, is Taeyeon the older sister?
When I called her name, Taeyeon responded.
“Yes? Why?”
-You look appetizing.
“Puha?!”
“Hey!”
When Taeyeon heard that, she laughed and was happy, but I was the one who screamed.
“Is that what you mean!”
-That’s Okay. I’m done with what I want to say.
“Hey. Hey!”
As if it was really over, Sehee didn’t say anything more.
I looked at Taeyeon from an angle where they couldn’t be seen on the screen.
Sorry
“…”
But she lightly shook her head. Even though I said that the demon king was prettier, I was a little sorry if that was the reaction.
-Jiheon.
At this time, Mina’s blunt voice came out of the smartphone.
– Now it’s my turn to talk.
“Oh sorry.”
While apologizing, I picked up my phone again. Taeyeon, who already knew this voice, shouted happily.
“Sera! It’s Sarah!”
-Here, my name is Minah.
“Oh, yes. Minah. You’ve been there for a really long time! It’s so nice to see you!”
-Thank you. Looking at your face, I like it too.
“Yes. I like you too, seeing you Are you still tall?”
-Not more than before. By the way, the chest is also smaller than before.
Why do you say that
The two, who had known each other from another world, greeted each other and exchanged stories. After a few more words, Mina finished hers first.
– Then we will contact you later.
“What. Do you know my number?”
-Yes that’s right.
I wonder if she memorized it when I showed her her business card during the day.
-Jiheon. The story is over.
When those words came out, I looked down at my smartphone. I liked seeing the three women I love at once on the screen, but seeing it with my own eyes was much better than seeing it this way.
I looked at him with loving eyes and asked an unfortunate question.
“Then do you want to quit now?”
– It’ll be over soon. I have to play
– I’m in the bathroom, brother.
-I see, Jiheon.
Mina is the best
-President! The paperwork here is a bit strange! Pop
… Okay. This can be happen. Looking at it, it looks like it’s still a company.
When I hung up the video call like that, I found Taeyeon looking at me with a surprised face.
“Wow, are you real?”
“What?”
“Dating all three of them. I thought you wouldn’t see that here.”
“I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you and Mina either.”
“But. Not really. Now, when the call is over, eat some meat.”
“What kind of meat, huh?”
There were pieces of well-grilled pork belly on the plate in front of me.
“Come on, eat. Don’t let it cool down any longer.”
Taeyeon smiled and said not to worry and pretended not to know and ate her meat.
