Chapter 101 – Pasta on a First Date!

#

When I woke up at the hotel the next day, Choi Ju-ri was already dressed and sending someone a message.

“Uh? Are you awake already?”

When I asked, rubbing her eyes, she turned her head towards me and smiled brightly.

“Yeah, I think I’ll be a bit busy today. I rested well yesterday, so I have to work hard today.”

Certainly she seemed to have a great deal of her energy.

I told her there was something that worried her.

“Never be swayed by Lee Nam-cheol. You don’t have to.”

In general, it was an opponent that could never be seen as easy.
Because he was a real-life member of the National Assembly.
In the life I lived in my previous life, he was even the president.
And if something didn’t happen, he was very likely to become president in this lifetime.

Even though she said it somewhat recklessly, Choi Ju-ri smiled.

“Yeah, I won’t be swayed by anyone anymore. More than anything, I have you.”

She climbed onto her bed and kissed her on my lips.
Like the morning sun filtering through her curtains, kissing her refreshed my sleepiness.

Choi Ju-ri said, parting her lips.

“I’m holding a press conference today.”
“A press conference?”
“If you continue like this, you will be beaten no matter what. It’s better for me to speak first. Married life with Park Cheol-gwan was like a nightmare to me. It’s a blot in life. But now I’m born again I’m sorry for my father, but even if the GP is knocked down, I won’t be swayed by anyone anymore. I will live only looking at myself and the people I love.”

She looked at me with her loving eyes.
Her yesterday I confided her everything to her.
That I don’t have just one girlfriend.
And they all said that they were accepting of this strange relationship too.

How could you know that and still say this with such a neat expression on your face?

The influence of the system and fate was great.

“And…”

I had one more thing that bothered me.

“There must be a spy planted by Park Cheol-gwan in the company. Besides there, it’s here and there. Find those people and shake them off. Now that Park Cheol-gwan is dead, I will try to stick with Lee Nam-cheol.”
“Yeah, I was thinking that too. I’ve already let a few know and let them go. But now I have to cut them all. You’re right. Even though I am much older, I am always learning from you.”
“There are many more. Rather, I feel like an older sister to a younger brother.”
“Oh! What are you talking about?”

Choi Ju-ri’s cheeks turned red.
I hugged her dearly.
As soon as I did that, the atmosphere warmed up.

Choe Ju-ri was taken aback and quickly removed her body.

“I can’t stay like this, I have to go now.”

She raised her body.

“Let’s eat at the hotel and leave. I’ll do the math.”

I didn’t bother to pay my money.
To a woman with wealth as rich as Choi Joo-ri, and to me now, hotel expenses were not a problem.

“Yes.”
“I’ll call you later~”

Choi Ju-ri left the hotel room with a bright smile.

Left alone, I remembered what I had to do today.
Originally, I would have thought of training.
That was a routine that had been going on since my previous life, and even if I didn’t practice for one day, I felt uncomfortable and guilty.

But now there are more important things than practice.
Doing quests.
And paying more attention to new connections.
It was more important for my growth.

‘Though I need to hone my new skills.’

The increased abilities would only be able to be used properly through sufficient practice.
Other than that, there was no urgent reason to focus on training more than necessary.

‘Hanyeonju…’

I said I would come and see you today.
She had more words to share with her.

Once she had to figure out her way to awaken Choi Joo-ri through her.

And…

‘I said it was his destiny.’

It was an enigma even to me.
I also have a destiny, and it was visible in the form of messages and systems.
However, none of them specifically mentioned the relationship with Han Yeon-joo.

She just let me know that she is a woman who will be an important part of my future life.
For the rest, it was clear that she and I had to work together.

As Choe Ju-ri said, I got up to eat.
After a hot night, I was even more hungry.

Today is Sunday.
Half of the stores in the Yongsan Underground Shopping Center were also closed.

I passed by that place and went to the place I went yesterday, and as expected, there was a performance there.

However, it was completely different from yesterday.
Yesterday, she was living in a shop that looked like her own personal beggar, with a somewhat lax look.
But today, the shop was completely closed.
It is a store that did not even have a signboard in the first place.
There was a chair in front of it, and a woman was sitting with her legs crossed.

He sleeps with his arms crossed.
Yesterday I didn’t pay much attention to the outfit, so I didn’t notice it, but today I was wearing a feminine and well-fitting outfit.

She was wearing a dark-toned dress overall, leather boots that came up long, and above all, a top that showed off her voluptuous breasts.
A cute woman with a celebrity-like appearance was sitting there, drawing the attention of passers-by.
However, a force flowed from her that seemed to never approach her.
If you touch it, you will even feel like killing yourself.

Accordingly, her men, who had been looking at her somewhat defenselessly, did not dare to approach her, and ran past her as if they were running away.

But I’m different.
The reason she came here was to meet her.
And the reason she was here was to wait for me.

‘I know what time he will come.’

She knew that she had the ability to ‘precognise’, but the ability is mostly vague.
Because a person’s future changes every minute according to his actions, predictions are often wrong unless it is an important and fateful event.
So, even if he knew that I would come to see him today, it meant that he would not have known when I would come.

“Mr. Yeonju.”
“Uhm~~”

A performer who was dozing with his arms crossed and emitting force raised his gaze.
She looked at me like in her dreams.
Then, realizing that it was not a dream, she suddenly opened her half-closed eyes.
It was she who ran the back of her hand with her saliva that flowed down her mouth.

“Did you come soon?”

As he said this, it was clear that he had no idea when I was coming.

“Why were you doing this? It’s inside the store.”
“I canceled the store contract yesterday. The shutters are down, but it’s a bit like going in.”

In a hurry, it seemed that he had left the store he signed the contract with immediately.
I could see that he wasn’t the type to think and act very much.

“Anyway.”

Han Yeon-ju raised her body with a bright expression.
In an instant, the dangerous aura that had been around her before meeting me was erased.
She smiled and crossed my arms.

Then he sniffed at her and furrowed his brow.

“Sniff sniff, did you have sex?”
“Yes?”
“Is that the girl? The woman I saw yesterday. She said she’s not your girlfriend?”
“Ah…”

I realized that it was impossible to lie in front of Han Yeon-joo.
It wasn’t just the smell that made me know that Choi Ju-ri had spent the night with me.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

He comforted me when I was making a troubled expression.

“A good-looking man can hit a woman as much as he likes. I understand. Hit me too, darling.”

She pressed her own chest closer to her arm.
It was clear that she was well aware that her own attractive point was her breasts.

You want to hit me
I felt that the somewhat sexually harassing comments she made when we first met her in the previous life and yesterday when we first met were something she usually does.
Well, it didn’t matter anyway.
This active and confident attitude was like a trademark of Secret Witch.

Han Yeon-ju already had the ability to forge at this point.
It is clear that she has become stronger in the future, but her Hunter ability did not become incredibly strong over time.
Especially S-class Hunters.

The reason why she spent her time in an underground shopping mall meaninglessly.
It was just to meet me, she said.

She has not yet been told why.
If I was her destiny, why didn’t she recognize me the second time we met?

Well, the detailed flow of fate may not be something an individual can do.

She said cheerfully, as a musician waved her crossed arms.

“Let’s go get some food~”
“Yes, what do you want to eat?”
“Well, on a first date, it’s unconditionally pasta.”
“Yes?”

She didn’t know where to start or how to react.
Han Yeon-ju had a mindset that a middle-aged man from a generation ago would have.
So, did those sexual harassment comments come out naturally?

Anyway, the pasta wasn’t bad either.

I walked along as Han Yeon-joo led.
