Chapter 607 – We Prefer to Do Well ‘Now’ Rather Than ‘In the Future’.

The cafe that Yuri asked to meet was a place where a temporary wall was installed for each seat. The song coming out of the ceiling speaker is also a quiet song, but the volume was somewhat high, so it seemed good to talk.

Entering such a cafe, I went straight to the counter.

“Welcome.”

“Ah yes. Hello.”

I bowed my head in response to the greetings of the friendly staff. Then I ordered without even looking at the menu board hanging above the counter.

“One iced americano, please.”

“Yes, one iced Americano. But did you come alone?”

“No. One more will come later.”

“Yes. If so, how about making it a couple A set? If you pay an extra 2,500 won for the price of two glasses of iced americano, we will give you a piece of cake.”

“Is it so?”

To be honest, I was a little worried. Even if the relationship between me and Yuri didn’t end well, I could get a piece of cake for just 2,500 won. When I raised my head there, the worry intensified.

“As you know from the menu, a piece of cake costs 4,000 won.”

As the staff said, the cheapest piece of cake on the menu was 4,000 won. My head ached at the information that I could buy it at a discounted price of 1,500 won instead of 1,000 won.

-You!

At this time, I heard a voice that relieved my worries.

-What are you worrying about, brother?

-Jiheon. That’s not it.

In addition, the other two voices came and told me what to do.

-First of all, order the cake. And you eat it all!

– Or just wrap the cake and bring it here.

-If you’re going to do that, please order 6 of them. One is too few.

Didn’t I tell you not to do that?!

I was horrified at the nonsense in my ears and wanted to shout. However, I thought I would become a madman talking to myself, so I asked the waiter for my order.

“So, are the cakes wrapped separately?”

“Shall we say we pack both coffee and cake?”

“No. Just the cake.”

“Sorry, guest. In the case of a set menu, it is difficult to pack separately.”

“Oh yeah? Hey, it didn’t work.”

“Yes?”

“Oh no! I’m just talking to myself.”

– Haha, you just looked like a crazy person.

Who is this for!

– In that case, Jiheon. Please take 6 slices of cake with 3 cups of coffee. I just swipe the money with my card.

To those words, instead of saying that I knew, I responded with actions. Scratching his temple, he gently tapped his ear with the tip of his index finger.

Talk tok

Then I followed the words that sounded in my ears. I bought a cake and coffee, half running errands, half practicing, and immediately left the cafe.

Even though there is no sunlight, I went outside in the heat and headed for the driveway without hesitation. With a cake in one hand and coffee in the other, she arrived in front of Mina’s car parked on the side of the road.

Wheein!

The passenger door was lowered when I arrived. Even from a distance, I could see her white silver hair that I could not take my eyes off of, and I met eyes as blue as the summer sky.

“You! Why are you so late!”

-You! Why are you so late!

The words rang in front and in the ears at the same time. Once I handed over the coffee, I grumbled as I took out the small Bluetooth earphones in my ears.

“What am I late for? I ordered and came right away.”

“If you had come running, you wouldn’t have heard this.”

“I sweat when I run in the heat. Now, take this one.”

Wei Ying

When I was about to give him the cake box, the back seat window opened this time.

“Brother. Please bring the cake here.”

Of course, Se-hee was the one who lowered the window. She smiled happily as she accepted her box.

“I will choose what I want to eat first. Thank you, brother.”

“You?! Genga tried to do that!”

“All I need is mocha cake and tiramisu, Sehee.”

Between the voices of the sisters arguing over the cake, Mina’s voice was heard. She tilted her upper body slightly as she lowered her eyes to eye level, and her eyes met Mina’s, who was sitting in the driver’s seat.

“Thank you for moving for us, Jiheon.”

“What are you doing? Of course.”

I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment at the sincere expression of gratitude. Seeing me like that, the demon king sucked coffee with a straw and threw a blow.

“I’m going to meet my first love, isn’t this a matter of course? Jjook”

“Ugh”

“Haha, isn’t that a funny guy? To show her girlfriends that she contacted her first love.”

“Ugh”

“If it weren’t for the burdens, we would have broken up right away. Of course you know this much. Isn’t it?”

“Of course not!”

“If you know it’s obvious, go and buy some macarons.”

“Ah Okay! Hang in there! I’ll buy it right away!”

I hurriedly went back to the cafe at the command of the demon king, no, at the request. If Sehee hadn’t stopped her, she would have gone for real.

“Sister. Stop bullying my brother. Still, it’s better than not telling.”

“Hmm. That’s right.”

“So let’s take a look.”

“Sehee… !

I looked at Se-hee with emotion-filled eyes. But I forgot that Sehee was Sehee.

“So you’re going to put up with taking the baby behind you, right?”

“Se-hee?!”

“Why? If you left your girlfriend and contacted her first love, shouldn’t you give this much? Isn’t this a good thing?”

“Oh, no, it is. Still…”

“Still? Brother. Can you hear ‘even so’ now?”

“I’m sorry. I will do well in the future.”

“We prefer to do well ‘now’ rather than ‘in the future’. It is ‘now’.”

It wasn’t just the weather that made my breath stop. Se-hee’s eyes looking at me now were cold enough to feel warm in the midsummer sun. No, it was more accurate to say that it was bitterly cold.

“It’s okay, Jiheon.”

At this time, Mina warmly comforted me.

“Go, meet, and talk.”

“I’m sorry, Minah.”

“I’ll lend you a card, so buy her something delicious.”

“… Uh? That year?”

“Wouldn’t it be pitiful if you went hungry on the way? Never mind the money.”

“You care about something other than money!”

I shouted at Minah, and this time I shouted at all three women.

“No! Why are you doing this to me when you guys asked me to meet you! I just let you know that I’ve been in touch!”

I had no intention of meeting after seeing the text message asking to meet, but they were different. When I informed Yuri that I had contacted him, he said that he would follow me and promised me, no, he ordered me to. Along with these conditions.

“Is that all you’ve been told?”

Se-hee heard me screaming out of injustice and took offense.

“You didn’t tell us in advance because we thought we’d find out anyway?”

“Oh no! I just wanted you to know!”

“What do we know about this? If oppa says he won’t meet, it’s over.”

“That is, but! But I thought you guys had a right to know! Because they are my girlfriends!”

“It is good to hear. Then, brother. Why did you ask that?”

Sehee’s eyes flashed at the words that followed. It was the same for Demon King and Mina.

“Why did you ask us what to do?”

“That, that… !”

“It’s something that can be done on the older brother’s line. Why did you bother to ask us?”

“… !”

I couldn’t bear to answer. Everything Sae-Hee had said so far had been pointed to the point, and what she had just said was not enough to be stabbed, and it was completely pierced.

I was relieved to see the text message Yuri sent. However, he never had a rational mind. It was completely cut off when I went to MT last year, and throughout last year we became so far apart that we stayed as acquaintances rather than friends.

To sum up my feelings for her now, she was an acquaintance of hers for 7 years. Of course, until last year, even if there was a feeling of hatred, now that time has passed, interest has declined to the extent that it is just an acquaintance of an acquaintance.

But she was a little worried if she suddenly disappeared. Even the most hated person would care if something happened. Especially if I was the cause.

“Tsk, I see.”

When I said this again, the demon king clicked his tongue and nodded.

“I don’t like her, but it doesn’t mean I don’t understand you.”

“Thank you, Sohee.”

“That doesn’t mean I completely gave it to you. Be mindful.”

“I know. That’s why you did this.”

She showed her the Bluetooth earphones in her hand. Unlike normal ones, it was so small that you wouldn’t notice it unless you looked closely.

One of the conditions they put forward was this. Follow their instructions while talking secretly. The coercion and threats were too strong to say no, so I couldn’t refuse.

“No, but.”

Asked the women, holding up something smaller than her thumb nail.

“Where did you get these?”

“I got it from the Internet.”

Of course, the one who answered was Se-hee, who had prepared this. She took a sip of her coffee and continued.

“I bought it just in case, but I didn’t know how to use it like this.”

“Where did you buy it for?”

“Ah, sister. Have you not contacted your aunt?”

“Where did you get it?”

“My aunt will be very curious.”

Everyone glared at Se-hee, who was acting awkwardly, but Min-ah immediately picked up her smartphone.

“I didn’t come, Sehee. It looks like you are still on duty.”

Taeyeon was also with her when she informed her that she had been contacted by her first love. She pretended not to be interested, but she showed interest to the extent that she asked to be informed even while on duty.

“Jiheon.”

Upon hearing the news, Mina put down her phone and said.

“How about you go in soon?”

“Oh yeah? What time is it now?”

“It is 13 minutes before the appointment time. I recommend going in early.”

“Ha ha. OK got it.”

I nodded and sighed as I put the small earphone in my ear. I checked with the side mirror to see if I was wearing it well, and said hello to my girlfriends.

“Then, I’ll go.”

“Have a good trip. By the way, hey.”

The demon king who told me to go and come suddenly frowned.

“If you say you want to make her your girlfriend, I will kill you. I’m not kidding.”

“Will I?”

“You never know. So brother Careful.”

“Because it isn’t.”

“If that happens, you may be sincerely disappointed, Jiheon. Be careful.”

“There is nothing to be wary of. Because it is not.”

After reassuring the other girlfriends that they were worrying for nothing,

“Then I will go. Don’t hang up.”

Headed to the cafe.
