Chapter 423 – I Want You to Pretend to Be My Boyfriend

“Haaaaa… ! This shitaaaaal… !”

Taeyeon unilaterally hung up on her, asking to meet in the morning to talk. But all day long, she wondered what was going on even when she was listening to lectures, and when we met at a cafe like this, she only muttered curse words.

“Oh shit, that sucks, really… !”

Seeing that she was not in the mood to talk, the demon king called out cautiously.

“Ugh, Taeyeon.”

“Uh, why?”

“Didn’t you have something to say to Jiheon?”

“Uh, yes. Uh.”

After answering roughly, Taeyeon scratched the nape of her neck nervously. Then she looked at the left hand of the demon king sitting to my left.

“Is the ring pretty?”

“Oh, um.”

Hearing the compliment, the demon king smiled and nodded his head.

“That’s right. Jiheon gave it to me yesterday.”

“Uh. Okay. Then Jiheon did you too?”

“Me?”

“Yes, you.”

When she suddenly called my name, she showed her left hand even though she was a little surprised.

“Uh, here. The star pattern was drawn. Look.”

“It’s pretty, this too.”

“Yes?”

“Oh, yes. It’s so fucking pretty, really.”

It was never a face that said it was pretty. I said it with a frown as if I had bitten some kind of bug, but I thought maybe I had done something wrong.

“Here, Sohee.”

Taeyeon, who had only been annoyed after meeting him, called the demon king. When his name was called, the demon king raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Hmm? Why but?”

“Actually, I have something to apologize to you for. Sorry.”

“… Hmm?”

At the word apology, not only the demon king but also me narrowed our eyebrows. Seeing us like that, Taeyeon brought up the story with a sigh she had been exhaling ever since we met.

“Haaaaah, … ! Hey, I feel a little sorry for you guys, whose first anniversary was yesterday.”

“Tell me.”

“I am listening.”

“No, that, you know.”

It was an unusual look. As much as her mouth was a little harsh, Taeyeon was living saying what she wanted to say. It was hard to see her lingering like that.

“I think Jiheon heard it, but hey.”

What did I say to Sohee?

“Hey, what did you tell Jim?”

When the demon king said the same thing as the thought that popped into my head, Taeyeon finally explained the reason for this.

“Jiheon pretending to be my boyfriend.”

“Oh, is that?”

“It’s fine.”

“That’s the case, huh?”

Taeyeon, who had been talking with a heavy face, put on a dumbfounded expression when she heard us. Then, as if she had heard wrongly, she opened her eyes wide and asked.

“It’s fine.”

“Um, that’s right.”

The demon king nodded casually and said one more thing.

“It’s okay if you go out with Jiheon.”

“No, that’s not it.”

Ugh

I was a little hurt by the denial like a knife. She said, of course, that he would never meet her lover, but the difference in front of her made her feel uncomfortable.

“Ahahahahaha! Jiheon, hey! You just got dumped by Taeyeon! Haha!”

“Noisy, little!”

It was even more painful because the demon king openly laughed at her.

“Kuhm, big! I’m sorry.”

Anyway, stopped laughing,

“Pu-huh?!”

Stop,

“Pu-hu-huh!”

Mum,

“Pu-hu-huh!”

Grave

“Puhahahaha!”

“Aren’t you laughing too much, really?!”

I couldn’t see it, so I ended up interfering. I didn’t even confess, but I glared at the demon king who kept laughing at me when I was dumped and asked Taeyeon.

“So what’s the matter? Why did you say you were dating me?”

“No, I’m not dating you?”

“What?”

“Puhahahaha! You! You just got kicked again! Fuhahahaha!”

“Ah!”

She lightly slapped the Demon King on his forearm to stop laughing, but she didn’t stop laughing. Seeing us like this, Taeyeon opened her mouth with a serious face.

“Let me explain. Why are you doing this?”

“Haha, um, okay.”

Upon hearing the explanation, the demon king immediately stopped laughing and became serious. I looked at her with a shocked face because she was so dumbfounded, but for now, I also looked at Taeyeon.

“Uh. Say. What is it?”

“Yeah, so… Woo woo… !”

The reason she let out a deep breath was because she told me exactly what she had said earlier in the morning.

“I want Jiheon to pretend to be my boyfriend.”

“Uh?”

“I can just be your boyfriend.”

“Because that’s not what I meant.”

“!”

I hurriedly looked at the demon king.

“Pu-huh”

As expected, the demon king raised the corner of his mouth as if he would smile at any moment. But when I heard Taeyeon’s next words, I immediately became serious.

“When you go to the wedding, pretend to be my boyfriend then.”

“What are you talking about?”

Until a few seconds ago, I was laughing at it saying it was fun, but Taeyeon was also taken aback when she looked so serious. She looked at the demon king as if he were looking at a strange person, then continued her words.

“This weekend, there is a wedding of a friend of mine. At that time, I want Jiheon to pretend to be my boyfriend and go with me. I’m sorry to those of you who celebrated the first anniversary yesterday, but it’s worth it.”

“Okay.”

“What?”

“Are you sure?”

Taeyeon and I frowned at the too quick reply. Seeing us like that, the demon king nodded his head with a serious face.

“Did you say it was the weekend?”

“Oh, it’s Sunday.”

“Hmm, in that case, I guess I could be indebted to Mina.”

“Why is Mina suddenly appearing?”

The last words were mine, not Taeyeon’s. She laughed and then suddenly became serious, and this time she brought out Mina again. She couldn’t help but intervene.

“Hmm, hey.”

However, the demon king asked a question with a red flag.

“Are you serious?”

“Uh, what? No, what is it What is it?”

“I don’t know because I haven’t experienced this before, right?”

“So what is it?”

The Demon King muttered, “This can’t work,” And said with a serious face.

“A wedding at Taeyeon’s age is a battlefield.”

What is he saying now.

But Taeyeon wasn’t as puzzled as I was.

“You know?”

On the contrary, she agreed with what he said.

“Yes.”

The demon king nodded and explained the reason to me.

“If Taeyeon goes to her wedding, this will happen.”

“What happened.”

“Oh! Aren’t you Taeyeon!”

She started her acting out of the blue. Also with Taeyeon as her counterpart.

“Taeyeon. Nice to meet you! How long has this been!”

“Uh, uh…”

Even though Taeyeon was flustered at first, she agreed with the demon king.

“Yeah, that’s right. About five years ago?”

“Has it happened already? I didn’t even notice the passage of time because I only cared about eating and living, kid!”

It was a similar shock to her when she first saw Mina acting. Even though I was looking at it with those eyes, the demon king did not stop acting.

“By the way, Taeyeon. How are you these days?”

“Uh, me? I am a civil servant now.”

“Oh my God? What are you talking about? The whole world knows that it is Park Bong, but there are people who do it. Well, the world only works when there are people like you. Huh. Thank you, boy.”

“Extremely”

Because of the sarcastic demon king’s performance, Taeyeon bit her teeth. In fact, she seemed to have heard that before, and even though she seemed to be angry, she did not stop her performance.

“Well, by the way, how are you?”

“Better? I’m married! I have a baby!”

Even though the words weren’t finished, the demon king spoke excitedly.

“My husband is the president of a small business, and he is a bit younger than me. And the child is still 3 years old! I’ve left the baby with the babysitter, but I think she’ll have to go back soon! Is this the 4th time? But why can’t I believe it, kid!”

“That, is it?”

“Then how are you? Are you married?”

“Uh, I’m not married,”

“Oh my God! You weren’t married? Why can’t men notice these days? Shall I introduce you?”

“Oh, no. But, there is one child.”

“What is it? I’m not married, but have a child? You’re a single mother, aaaaagh! Tae, Taeyeon! That’s an example!”

“Shut up, bitch!”

In the end, the demon king was beaten. Taeyeon kicked the demon king’s shin, which she kept pushing under the table, and this time raised her fist.

“Fuck, you bastard is real!”

“Ugh! Calm down, calm down!”

“Does it really look like you!”

“That’s true!”

“Whose side are you on!”

The demon king hurriedly got up and hid behind me, and Taeyeon raised her fist as if she was about to strike. Her demon king shouted at her as if she was about to swing her fist at any moment.

“Now, I didn’t mean to make fun of you! I’m just explaining you so that Jiheon can help you wholeheartedly!”

“Fuck the bullshit!”

“It’s real! I will help you not be treated like this at the wedding hall! Jim will help you with both your mind and heart! Not to mention Jiheon rental!”

What, rent?

“… Is it real?”

Still, those words made Taeyeon regain her composure. She lowered her fists and sat back down, still ferociously speaking.

“Are you really going to help me?”

“Yeah, that’s right! Jiheon Do you intend to do the same?”

“Of course. Uh. Of course I will help.”

“Whoa… !”

Seeing me nodding urgently, Taeyeon let out a sigh. Then, I gestured to the demon king hidden behind me to sit down.

“Sit down. I calmed down.”

“Is it true?”

“Uh. So sit down.”

“Okay, thank you.”

The Demon King, who knew well that he had done something wrong, hesitated and returned to his seat. Looking at Taeyeon’s eyes, she said to me.

“You. The woman Jim plays is lurking at the wedding. To such women, beings like Taeyeon are no different from easy prey. Got it?”

“Ah, yes.”

“So, Jiheon, help Taeyeon so that she doesn’t get hurt…”

The demon king who was talking looked at Taeyeon. She asked with a nonchalant face, as if her frightened eyes were a lie.

“By the way, sleep. Are you on the bride’s side or the groom’s side?”

“Uh?”

A look of bewilderment appeared on Taeyeon’s face. That face resembled the one he apologized to me and the Demon King.

“Oh, do I have to tell you?”

“Of course it is. Depending on which side you are on, the attack method will be different.”

What kind of attack What kind of game is the wedding guest?

Even in the midst of glancing at the demon king while thinking this way, Taeyeon still answered with a puzzled expression.

“The, the poem, the bride, and the groom, everyone knows each other, but that, this, first of all, the groom… Side?”

What are you talking about.

“Hmm?”

The Demon King seemed to have the same thoughts as me. She immediately opened her mouth to ask, but

“Excuse me.”

A woman working at a cafe came to our table. Wearing a green apron, she said with a troubled expression.

“I’m sorry, but could you please refrain from talking a little bit? I’m a nuisance to other guests…”

“Uh, sorry.”

I hurriedly got up and apologized. But the apologies are not over yet.

“And again, our cafe is one drink per person. Hey, can you please order it?”

Oh right.

“Sorry! I’ll order right away! Three iced americanos!”

“You have to order at the counter.”

“Ah yes! Wait! I will order right away!”

As she was about to leave her seat, Taeyeon held out her card.

“Jiheon! Calculate with this!”

“Oh, that’s it! I’ll count!”

“Jiheon!”

It was the demon king who called me this time. She, who is a normal talker because there is someone else, holds out her card like Taeyeon.

“Here, this one!”

“Uh? Am I just counting?”

“Not that! Please stamp the coupon here!”

“You count!”

“Hey, how did you know the atmosphere of the wedding?”

“Um, is that what you mean? Let’s just say Jim’s age. Ask no more.”

“Annual ring? What bullshit is that?”

“I never dated him until he died to me. So don’t you know?”

“Oh my, is it real? But, as far as I know, you must be over 50. Were you a mother until then?”

“Hmm… Even if this is a cafe, there must be at least a kitchen knife in the kitchen. I’ll be gone for a while.”

“Sorry! I was bad! Please sit down!”
