Chapter 92 – Anecdotal – The Story of a Nuclear and Gold Player (6)

“I’m sorry I’m late. The cleaning shift ended late.”

Kang Kyung-cheol, who was having a silent snowball fight with the waiter, woke up to the student’s voice. Come to think of it, now wasn’t the time to care about other people’s eyes.

“It’s okay. I can’t help it with the cleaning duty.”

Cleaning duty. At the appearance of the nostalgic word, Kyung-chul felt a generation gap deeper than the Mariana Trench in the female student in front of him.
But what does that mean? Whether the opponent is a high school girl or a grandmother, the work to be done does not change. All he had to do was think about somehow recovering Ray.

“If you haven’t eaten dinner, shall we order a meal first? Do you have anything you’d like to eat?”
“Um…Meat?”

It was a simple order uncharacteristic of a girl. Kyung-chul called the waiter and ordered a meal.

“It’s a course for two, pasta instead of pizza, and tenderloin steak for the meat. Drinks…”
“I’m Coke!”
“…One Coke, one Americano.”

When I finished my order and looked at the front, for some reason, a female student was looking at Kyung-cheol with her eyes twinkling.

“He seems to come to places like this often. Well, he’s very rich, so I can come every day.”

The fact that the operator of Youtube was Reniz’s big hand was a fact that everyone who watched the broadcast knew. Did he bother to mention that he was rich as a ploy to extort money?
Kyung-cheol smiled bitterly even as he thought about that.

“No. I’ve never been to a place like this either. I eat at home every day.”
“I see. I live near here, so I pass by this hotel every time I go to school. But I’ve never been inside, so I wanted to visit one day. Thanks to you, I’ve erased one thing from my bucket list today.”

Thanks to you, I am a cushion of thorns.
Kyung-chul continued his words without letting go of his smile.

“I’m glad you liked it. By the way, you’re a student or a high school student? Grimflo is for adults. How did you do it?”

Kyung-chul’s words made the student feel a little bad.

“Even high school students have the right to vote and get married, right?”
“But no pornography, right?”
“Where is such a thing? Fast kids have sex since elementary school. Didn’t you watch porn when you were in high school?”
“Curham, uhm.”

At the student’s bombshell remark, Kyung-chul cleared his throat and tried hard to silence it. The waiter’s eyes, who had been looking this way since earlier, seemed to have become more serious.

“I’m the same 19 years old, but I want to get votes from the kids, so I give them the right to vote, and then I don’t want to be sexual again. High school students can’t watch movies that are not allowed for youth viewing even after they’re 18, and they can watch it if they drop out. Do you think this makes sense? ? Mister?”
“If you say something like that to me…”

I knew what the student wanted to say. But now that didn’t matter.

“I understand how students feel, but I’m not here to talk about that.”
“I know. You’re asking me to restore Ray.”
“That’s right. Did you read our notice? If you restore Ray, I’ll give you 30 million won right now.”

Kyung-chul took out a thick envelope from his bag and put it on the table.
There were 600 50,000 won bills and 30 million won in cash. It was Gyeong-cheol who thought that showing money in kind was more effective than the number stamped on the bankbook.

However, the female student looked at the envelope with the money and looked embarrassed.

“But, that’s not actually my account.”
“…Your mother’s account?”
“Huh? How did you know?”

To sign up for a site that requires adult authentication, he borrows his mother’s resident registration number. It was a time-honored trick that Gyeong-cheol had been using since he was young.

“My phone didn’t work, so I signed up with my mom’s phone. I was doing well with that, but the billing was discovered on my mom’s phone, so I told them to delete it right away…”

Come to think of it, when she first became a Hunter, Ray received billing benefits.
That’s what she secretly paid through her mother’s phone. It is natural for her to get scolded if her mother finds out.

“Then the student didn’t delete it because he was angry?”
“Tuesday? Why are you angry? Ah~. Did the man (character) rape me (character)?”
“Kerhum! Cool! Cool! Uh-hum!”

Kyung-chul coughed out of breath. The waiter was glaring at me with terrifying eyes.

“Honestly, I’m pissed off, but what can I do? He said he would accept it.”
“The person who is being victimized? Is it Ray?”
“Yeah. I play the game from Rey’s point of view, so you know what Rey is thinking. So, well, if she’s okay with herself… Feeling like she can’t help it?”

Ray always seemed to be suffering, but was she accepting everything inside? She was a story that Kyung-chul, who had always seen only from Yuzu’s point of view, could not understand.

“Anyway, since the account was originally created with my mother’s phone, I think my mother should apply for restoration as well.”
“It’s my mother’s phone… Have you ever told your mother? You’ll get 30 million won if you restore it?”
“I said, but I was told not to talk bullshit.”

But. Anyone would suspect fraud if she offered 30 million won in return for recovering her game account.

“Is your mother at home? Can I meet you and talk to you?”
“Yes. I’m probably at home now.”
“Then, please guide me after dinner.”

I couldn’t recover Ray right away, but I was still fortunate. Because it wasn’t the worst situation, like emotionally deleting it and never recovering it. If the student’s mother didn’t have any problems, she seemed to be able to convince her enough.

From then on, dishes began to appear one after another. Gyeong-cheol-ro wanted to break into the student’s house right away, but since the student in front of him was looking forward to it, he decided to eat the food he ordered and go.

The student’s eyes lit up every time a new dish was served, she took pictures of each one, and smiled happily with each bite. They chattered about things like this is why this is so delicious, that and that is why it melts easily, and even though Kyung-chul didn’t make him speak, he chattered a lot.
She was a healthy and active child. That youth was dazzling to Kyung-cheol.

“This is the first time I’ve eaten such soft meat. It’s like ice cream. It just melts in your mouth!”

When the main dish, the tenderloin steak, was tasted, the student was delighted with a fuss. Kyung-cheol thought he was exaggerating too much, but seeing him eating deliciously made him feel good. He went so far as to cut up half of his portion of tenderloin and pass it to the student’s plate.

“I didn’t touch this one, so the students eat more.”
“Can I really eat it?”

I was momentarily worried that the uncle might be rejecting it because he ate it, but the student took the meat Gyeong-cheol gave him with a fork without any hesitation.
Kyung-cheol smiled heartily as he saw the student munching on a large piece of meat in one bite.

The happy meal time ended quickly, and the two got up from their seats.

“I ate well! I think my stomach will burst because I ate too much.”
“Thank you for all the delicious food.”
“Oh, sir, what are you saying? I’m grateful that I got it.”

The student jokingly said hello, and she giggled as if it was funny even thinking about it. She was a child who would laugh at the sight of fallen leaves rolling around.

“Then I’m going to the student’s house now. What would be a good gift? Is there anything I need at home?”
“Cakes! They sell cakes here on the first floor. Let’s buy them!”

It was a perfect choice for Kyung-cheol as well. It takes no time to buy and the price is right.
But even after eating that much, they still insisted on buying something to eat. Contrary to his appearance, Kyung-chul thought that he was a good kid with good eating habits.

“But Mister, can you let go of the word? It’s the first time in my life to hear that respectful word, so I can’t get used to it.”
“Really? Shall we talk then?”
“Yes. I’m So-Young. Lee So-Young.”
“Yes, student Soyoung. I’ll let you know from now on.”

As for Kyung-chul, he wouldn’t be meeting again after today, so he didn’t have any intention of letting go of the conversation, but he didn’t have any reason to refuse because he wanted it. Anyway, until he saves Ray, there’s nothing wrong with getting to know him even a little bit.

“Wow. Is this the man’s car? Is it a bench? Isn’t it a very expensive car?”
“It’s not that expensive.”
“Well, it’s not expensive for rich people.”

So-yeong suddenly sat down in the passenger seat next to Kyung-chul. It was the first time since she divorced her ex-wife that she had a woman in the passenger seat.

‘No, you can’t put a minor in the women’s category.’

Kyung-cheol smiled bitterly, but he was a little worried about this girl named So-young. I just rode the car of the man I saw for the first time today without a doubt. Maybe I’m being too careless anyway?
I wanted to say something as an adult, but I stopped because I didn’t want to ruin the good atmosphere.

“Mister, please turn left in front of me, just go straight for 3 minutes.”

I drove as Soyoung told me, and the car entered a more and more obscure place. At first, she was worried about So-yeong, but now she is starting to worry that she herself is being taken to a dangerous place.

“Is your father at home by any chance?”
“No. My father died before I was even born.”
“Oh, sorry. I was too insensitive.”
“It’s okay. It’s just like that.”

She wondered if she had accidentally stepped on a land mine by asking, but Lee So-young didn’t seem to care.
So-Young’s house, which arrived, was the first floor of a very run-down multi-family house. So-young unlocks her key first and goes in, while Kyung-chul decides to wait in front of the door.

“I’m back. Mom.”
“Lee So-young! What did you do to come home so late?”
“Oh, you said you were coming to eat today.”
“No matter what! What time is it now?”

Kyung-cheol seemed to inadvertently laugh at the conversation between his family, which was so routine.

“Mom. But a guest has come.”
“Guest? At this time of the night?”

Only then did Lee So-young announce the existence of Kang Kyung-cheol. So-young’s mother was embarrassed and stuck her head out toward her front door.

“Hey, how did you come?”
“Hello. My name is Kang Kyung-cheol, and I am running a YouTube channel.”
“Ah, yes…Yes?”

So-yeong’s mother hesitated as she approached and received the business card Kyung-chul held out. It was a secret business card that I dug up in advance in preparation for such an occasion.

Meanwhile, Kyung-cheol is surprised to see So-young’s mother. Because she looked too young to say she had a grown-up high school daughter.
This isn’t some sort of vulgar world, can a young mother like this exist in real life? Kyung-cheol was embarrassed, but he had to try not to reveal his inner feelings on his face. We have to have an important conversation in the future, and we can’t make mistakes.

However, Kyung-cheol’s efforts went in vain due to So-young’s mother’s words.

“Kang Gyeong-chul… Hey, didn’t you go to Gangnam High School?”
“Yes?”

Certainly, Kyung-cheol was from Gangnam High School. But it’s not even on the business card, so how could So-young’s mother know about it?
Kyung-chul thought he shouldn’t look at her too much, but So-yeong looked intently at her mother’s face, wondering if he knew him. So-young and her mother also stared up at Kyung-chul.

“…By any chance, Lee Seol-ah?”
“That’s right Gyeong-cheol! You really haven’t changed at all from the past!”

So-young’s mother, Lee Seol-ah, was Kang Gyeong-cheol’s middle and high school alumni.
Kyung-cheol was stunned by such a rare coincidence.
