Chapter 71 – Dain Park’s Proposal

‘It’s funny.’

Park Da-in laughed alone.
She remembered Choi Seong-gyu, who had captured her own attention from the moment she appeared.

‘I have to have it!’

Thinking that Park Eun-ha’s deviance was a stalker’s act toward Choi Seong-gyu made her heart boil even more.
There was not a single man she had ever missed that she was determined to have.
Not even one.
She was full of that kind of confidence.

‘Anyway, a woman who isn’t a big deal.’

Kim Doo-seong said it was something he had to know, and he called himself to the hospital to inform him of this fact, but when he actually looked into it, it was nothing special.
I don’t know how powerful the guild called ‘Iron’ is, but it’s nothing compared to his own power.
Isn’t your father, a member of the National Assembly, looking after you?
Park Eun-ha couldn’t control her emotions and she was on the wrong path.

‘Well, true education will come later.’

Until now, she hadn’t done anything specific to herself.
What happened to Doo-Sung Kim had nothing to do with him, and he might have stopped hurting him after hearing who he was.

‘You didn’t do anything anyway?’

He himself has never done anything with Choi Seong-gyu.

‘I’ll do it from now on.’

Park Da-in laughed alone at the thought that she had a good excuse to approach Seong-gyu Choi.

When Da-in Park contacted me to meet her, I frowned.
Right now, I was concentrating on Choi Joo-ri, so I wasn’t paying attention to Park Da-in.
She didn’t think she would stay still, but she thought she wouldn’t be able to do anything if I didn’t respond.

But what she said to me shocked me.

“You know Park Eun-ha, right? She has something to say about her, so let’s meet.”

Park Eun-hye?
I was taken aback when I remembered the name of another woman I had forgotten.
Park Eun-ha was the furthest away during this quest.
Ironically, while she entered university, the time to see each other decreased as I entered Gaon Academy.
She hadn’t heard from her recently, so she wasn’t paying attention to her at all.
But Dae-Jin Park Da-in brought up the story of Park Eun-Ha.

If it was a different topic, she would have rejected Park Da-in’s proposal, but she couldn’t if it was Park Eun-ha.

I went to the club Da-in Park suggested as her meeting place.
It wasn’t a place I personally liked, but she insisted that Da-in Park meet there, so I wondered what it would be like.
It’s a noisy place, so I didn’t know if it would be better to have a private conversation and end it.

Dain Park was sitting at her table and chatting with a few of her friends.
They were all students from Class C of the academy, so they knew each other.

I was annoyed to see Park Da-in sitting with other people after asking me to meet him.
I didn’t want to tell the story of Park Eun-ha in the presence of other people.

“Huh? I’m here?”

Park Da-in looked up at me, whose cheeks were flushed as if she was already slightly drunk, and said.
I felt pretty good about what was going on.

“Sunggyu~ Are you handsome today?”
“Let’s play together~ Sit quickly~”

The women sitting next to me were also anxious to have me sit next to them.

“Let’s talk just the two of us.”

Park Da-in smiled at my words.
Was this all calculated?
Trying to show off in front of friends.
He didn’t even know that he wanted to solidify the fact that I was the man he photographed, not anyone else’s.
I couldn’t know what my secret heart was, but if it was Park Da-in, I could have done enough of those calculations.

“Did you hear? You guys go away.”
“What? Really?”
“Can we stay together?”

The women, who were sobbing as if they were drunk on something other than alcohol, grumbled and went to another place when Park Da-in did not respond.

I watched them walk away and sat across from Dain Park.
There were several pills rolling around on the table along with the alcohol.
Seeing it brought back bad memories from my previous life.
Seeing me frown, Park Da-in smiled.

She overturned a new glass, poured a drink into it, and held out a pill.

“It’s not as bad as you think. Would you like to try one?”

Park Da-in’s proposal with a secret expression was rejected at once.

“No.”
“Wow, really. The iron wall is amazing~”

Park Da-in really put the pill he was trying to give me on his tongue.
He proudly put it in his mouth and swallowed it along with the drink.

“Do you want to go out? It’s a little hot. Let’s talk in a quiet place.”

You just came here and you want to go out again?
I had no intention of going to a quiet place alone with Park Da-in.

“No. Talk here.”

He looked at her phone and said.

“I made a promise to her girlfriend. Just get to the point quickly.”
“Chit~”

Her self-respecting Park Da-in seemed to be offended when I brought up her girlfriend.
He asked provocatively, crossing her leg in the opposite direction.

“Who is your girlfriend? Are you prettier than me?”
“Huh.”
“…”

Park Da-in glared at me like she was having a snowball fight.
When she didn’t back down a bit, she brought her main point as if she felt that she couldn’t do it.

“You know Duseong, right?”
“Kim Doo-seong?”
“Yeah, he’s in the hospital right now.”
“So?”

Whether he was in the hospital or where he was, it didn’t matter to me.
He must have had a fight with someone because he was originally a guy who was prone to accidents.

“It was Park Eun-ha who sent Doo-seong to the hospital.”
“What?”
“Doo-seong asked me to meet him today. This is the story I heard then. Park Eun-ha beat her up and asked about me.”
“…”

It was something I was completely unaware of.
Why did Park Eun-ha beat Kim Doo-seong and send him to the hospital?
And why did you ask him about Park Da-in?

Come to think of it, there was only one answer.
Knowing that I entered Gaon Academy, he must have investigated something on his own.
Then it was clear that this had happened.
Of course, it wouldn’t have happened for no reason, and there must be other stories I don’t know about.
We decided to check the details through the ‘Book of Truth’.
If it happened regardless of the quest, nothing would be recorded in the book, but I wondered if the story would have been recorded as long as Park Da-in was involved and I met Park Da-in to talk about it.

“Do you know why he did that?”
“I don’t know.”
“Um… It’s true that you know Park Eun-ha. Yes?”

I didn’t answer.
The fact that she came here even without an answer proves that I know her and care about her.

“This is my guess, but maybe she likes you Park Eun-ha. Sunggyu You’re not the type to cross your legs, so it’s probably unrequited love. Still, this crosses the line. You think so too.”
“So what do you want to say?”
“I can’t stand still when it comes out like this. Since they threatened me first, I will respond.”
“React?”
“I know Park Eun-ha belongs to an underground guild. ‘Flatiron’. It seems to be quite famous on the floor? What though.”

Park Da-in smiled.
She said she didn’t care about the underground guild or whatever.
It was worth it because I had my father’s bag.
If it was a tolerable underground guild, it would be difficult to use force unless Park Cheol-gwan stepped forward.

Park Da-in, who interpreted my expression at will, put her elbows on the table and pushed her upper body out.

He said, licking her upper lip with her tongue.

“Will you help me change my mind, Sunggyu?”

She added, running her fingers over the skin of her own torso, revealing her cleavage.

“How about a secret between the two of us? Her girlfriend doesn’t care. Just enjoying the day you and me A secret between the two of you.”

I never intended to spend the night with Park Da-in, but apart from that, her current proposal was clearly her trap.
This trap won’t end in one day.
I’m sorry, but I’ve already experienced enough of this kind of thing in my previous life.

“I’ll get up when we’re done talking.”

Park Da-in looked up at me with a puzzled expression.

“Did you not hear me? If you don’t help me, I will protect Park Eun-ha…”
“Do it yourself.”
“What?”
“Park Eun-ha is not my girlfriend. She has nothing to do with me.”

I pulled myself off the table.
I felt Park Da-in’s persistent gaze on my back as I was moving away.

When she said she didn’t care about Park Eun-ha, she said it to cut off her interest in Park Da-in from her, but she didn’t think that Park Da-in would give up.

‘Why…’

Did Park Eun-ha do such a dangerous thing?
I couldn’t leave her alone anymore, who seemed to stay outside of her quest.
I sent her message to Eunha Park.

– What are you doing? Shall we meet if you’re not busy?

By the time I left her club I got a reply from her.

– Yeah, I’m not busy. Where shall we meet?

I sent Shin Hye-yeon a message saying that she might not be able to meet her this evening.
She replied that she would know, but not to worry.

“Haaa…”

I decided to meet Park Eun-ha at a cafe.
It was not lighthearted to go there.
