Chapter 164 – 164. Access

Smart.

Team leader’s office separated from the office.
When I opened the door at the voice I heard from inside, I saw my aunt working on her laptop.

“What is going on?”

“I came because I have something to tell you about Seo Ga-hee.

I sat down on the sofa for entertaining guests, answering the question without even looking in my direction. On the small table in front of the sofa, a plate of fruit that Jeong Ha-ryun had brought was left untouched.

“What are you talking about?”

“I asked Mr. Park Do-gi to test his skills, and he was quite usable. I am also from the academy, so I have a good grasp of the basics.”

“Unexpectedly, the evaluation is generous.”

“That way Chairman Yang will like it too.”

It was obvious that Chairman Yang would ask how her granddaughter was living in the guild and how she was evaluated. As she lifted her fork and put a piece of apple that Jeong Ha-ryun had peeled into her mouth, her aunt answered calmly.

“…I’ll let you know when I get in touch. Is that all you have to say?”

I shrugged and stood up with a plate of apples. As the plate of apples was placed next to the laptop with a clattering sound, a cold stare fell on me.

“What are you doing?”

“I want you to eat some.”

“…Eat it later.”

I don’t think I’ll eat anything that doesn’t seem interested at all. I didn’t want Jeong Ha-ryun’s carefully cut apples to go into the food waste bag, so I pushed an apple to my aunt.

“He said he would eat it later.”

“Eat one.”

“…”

As she continued to berate her despite the cold eyes, her aunt let out a sigh and reached out her hand. I said, slightly dodging his hand.

“Ah, do it.”

“…”

“You’re going to put it down again. Oh, do it.”

Auntie’s eyes are shaking, perhaps because she saw through her ulterior motive. However, the lips are still tightly closed. Seeing that you don’t eat it even though you’ve done this, it seems like you really didn’t think about it.

The moment I had no choice but to bring the apple to my mouth.

“…Ah.”

The door that I thought would never open opened.

“Is it delicious?”

I put an apple in my mouth and ask, but instead of an answer, I hear a crunchy sound. After putting the remaining pieces in your mouth, try to put the fork down.

Gulp.

“Ah.”

My aunt shortens the word ‘one more’.
Actions that are repeated thereafter. At some point, when I saw that her face was slightly loose, even though it was as hard as concrete, I chuckled and put the last piece in my mouth.

“Should Ha-ryun see and tell her to cut more?”

“…No, that’s it.”

“Oh. But aunt Are you finishing work late today?”

I shrugged my shoulders when he suddenly asked why I was asking.

“It’s not a big deal, I’m going to ask Ha-ryun to see me and prepare dinner when I go to bed tonight. He is also very good at cooking.”

It’s not as good as So Jeong-hye, but Jeong Ha-ryeon’s cooking skills are amazing. If she eats it for herself, you’ll know what a good wife she is.

As she smiled at the thought of her daughter, the aunt’s loose face hardened again, and her cold voice leaked out.

“…After all, you’re here because of him.”

“Yes?”

“I am going to leave work early today.”

“Aunt.”

“Go away. It gets in the way of work.”

I tried to persuade him one more time, but soon gave up.
If you cling to it here, it will only make Jeong Ha-ryun’s image worse. It was better to aim for the next opportunity.

‘Let’s not be hasty.’

If today doesn’t work, tomorrow. The day after tomorrow if not tomorrow.
Until the day after tomorrow. If you keep working hard, someday your aunt will also acknowledge Jeong Ha-ryun.

The important thing was persistence, and I was quite confident in my persistence.

* * *

The next morning.

As I was breathing in the fresh air on the veranda, Seo Ga-hee’s car came into the parking lot. As I said yesterday, I came to get my work stamp.

After changing her clothes and going down to the lobby on the first floor, she sat with her arms crossed in a guild jacket with Laws spelled out instead of the airline jumper she wore every day.

“You came early.”

“He told me to come early…”

Seeing her cheeky reply instead of waking up, it seems her head was reset while she slept.

Otherwise

‘Are you trying to fight a flag?’

It could be that he was trying to imprint on me that he was a person who did not give in easily. Maybe he’s saying that I’m the crazy bitch in this block.

Well, whatever.

‘It’s funny.’

Pick, I smiled and sat on the sofa across from me, picked up my phone and roughly edited the quest I had planned yesterday. It was easy to tame someone with this attitude. It was enough to make him bow his head on his own, not by others.

“Quest.”

“Oh sorry. Contact me for a while I’ll give it to you now. It’s not that difficult, so don’t be intimidated.”

“What is fear…”

I ignored the muttering as if I was dumbfounded and sent the modified quest via messenger.

*Quest occurs!
Deactivate 4 Class D Gates within today.
Disabled Gate: [0/4]

“Four times!? What, don’t sleep and just go around the gate?”

“…”

“…Yo. This.”

“If it’s your ability level, it’s enough to go around, so try it and tell me.”

“Ha…Okay. But what about this reward? Didn’t you say you’d get a reward? Yo. This?”

“I said there was a reward, but I didn’t say it was given unconditionally. Complete the quest first.”

“…Can I just break this?”

I nod her head and she rises from her seat, looking at me with her cheater eyes. Seeing them leave the guild house without saying goodbye, I went upstairs with a fishy laugh.

Time passed and it was lunchtime.

“Auntie, what are you going to do for lunch today?”

When I found the team leader’s office, I approached my aunt who was absorbed in her work and asked me politely. Next to her laptop, the coffee Jeong Ha-ryun made was cold.

“…I brought it separately.”

Her aunt pointed to the lunch bag she had placed under her desk with her eyes. I was a bit taken aback, not knowing that she would bring her lunch, but I soon regained her composure and gently seduced her once more.

“Then let’s have a meal together. If you eat it alone, it’s not suitable.”

“Does not matter. I will eat separately.”

Again it doesn’t work
I changed the time zone to the firm answer.

“Then, even tonight…”

“I have an appointment for dinner. Don’t hesitate.”

“…”

The guard is too stubborn.
But I couldn’t leave like this. I quickly went up to the second floor and returned with a few side dishes.

“Auntie, when you eat, eat this too.”

“…”

My aunt’s eyebrows twitch slightly when she saw the side dish. It was a sign of displeasure. I hurried out of the office before the words to take it back came out of her mouth.

“Brother. What does your aunt say?”

When I went up to the second floor, Jeong Ha-ryun, who was waiting for me, asked. I put on a shy face and told the truth.

“I just left it for now.”

“Hey…”

Realizing that she didn’t get a very good response, Jung Ha-ryun lowered her head downcast, and Seol Da-jin, who was next to her, bluntly threw her words.

“Eating together once is not so difficult. What the hell is your mother doing?”

“It’s because I do it my way too much.”

“No, she’s not even getting married. Ha… True. Hey, just don’t mind and cool off. What are you going to do?”

“Uh, sister…”

“Cool down, little sister. Don’t speak hastily. I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry too much, Ha-ryeon.”

“Um… Yes…”

After calming Jeong Ha-ryun, leaving her complicated feelings behind, I went to visit her aunt again after talking about this and that with them.

“Did you enjoy your meal?”

“…”

“You haven’t eaten side dishes.”

The first place I left it is still a side dish container.
Again, you didn’t even touch it. If it were me, I would have opened it at least once out of curiosity.

‘He didn’t even touch it.’

In what sense, that’s great.
As I packed them with a bitter expression, her aunt called me.

“Kang Dae-woong.”

“Yes, aunt.”

“Don’t bring it with you.”

“A side dish?”

“Okay.”

Even if you bring it to me, I won’t eat it.
I smiled wryly at the sight of him saying that and nodded my head. After all, I wasn’t planning on just bringing side dishes.

Well, that doesn’t mean I raised the white flag.

I was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped and asked my aunt.

“But Auntie. Didn’t you say you had dinner plans earlier?”

“It is.”

“Are you going to drink?”

“…Why do you ask that?”

“If you’re going to drink, I tried to follow you as well as serve as a substitute driver.”

“I will simply talk. Still the same…”

“Is it so? All right.”

“…”

I went up to the second floor, leaving behind my gaze, and immediately called Jeong Ha-ryun and So Jeong-hye to the kitchen and asked them to make a snack that goes well with the white wine.

After watching the market and making snacks, the day is drawing to a close.

After receiving a message from her aunt that she is leaving work, she heads to the veranda, and a silver sedan passes through the parking lot. I called Jeong Ha-ryun.

“Haryeon-ah.”

“Yes, brother.”

Heading to her front door, she hurriedly entered the kitchen and handed her the paper bag and So Jung-hye’s car keys.

“Don’t wait today, go to sleep first.”

“Umm… Yes… I get it. You have to be careful driving.”

After kissing Jeong Ha-ryun, who was regretting it, I got into So Jeong-hye’s car with a paper bag full of snacks. Vehicle moving slowly with engine sound.

After exiting the parking lot, I headed towards my aunt’s apartment. After entering the house after it was dark, I warmed up the snacks I had brought in a paper bag and started setting the table.

Turn off the lights, set the mood with candles, and put her aunt’s favorite white wine on the table.

Tittitti-

Just in time, my aunt came in.
