She was a dangerous person who, in addition to being annoying, could harm Hyewon at any time. Juwon didn’t want to keep such a risky individual near Hyewon.
“This is a headache. But why is Kang Seungwon suddenly meddling?”
Rubbing his temple with frustration, Juwon, who had been exhaling a short sigh while massaging his temple, suddenly thought of Seungwon.
Even though Seungwon didn’t show it when he took Dahee’s side earlier, Juwon’s heart had subtly tightened.
There was no way he had suffered from the heat in the air-conditioned room, nor had the nonexistent affection fallen from the sky.
Considering Seungwon’s personality, it was impossible that he had malicious intentions by intervening.
So, there was only one answer.
‘What weakness did this idiot find?’
Suddenly, Juwon felt concerned about Seungwon.
Juwon, with an uneasy expression, called Seungwon.

The signal tone was long, and eventually, the call was not answered.
[Star Icon]A complicated evening in many ways.
Juwon lay on the sofa for a long time and yawned.
“Ah… I’m tired after a long time.”
With Dahee’s problem and Seungwon’s problem, the more he thought, the more his head throbbed.
Especially when thinking about Seungwon, his throat felt tight as if tightening a tie.
When you see someone doing things they wouldn’t normally do, it’s clear that something is wrong. How many times does my only younger sibling ignore calls from someone as godly as my older brother?
For the first time, the thought crossed my mind, ‘I really want to beat the hell out of this guy.’ Juwon pounded on a cushion as if it were Seungwon’s back.
“Why isn’t this guy coming?”
Juwon pointed to the clock indicating ten and raised his eyebrows. Even though Hyewon, who said she would stop by after work, had not arrived yet. Despite successfully luring her home under the pretext of comforting her after today’s shocking events, he began to worry as the night grew late.

‘After saying she’s just changing clothes, what kind of clothes is she making?’
When reasonable suspicions arose that she might be painting the room in a corner, Hyewon arrived.
“What did you come here for? I was so bored that I almost died.”
Running to the person I’d been waiting for desperately, I hugged her tightly, but the difference in size was bigger than I thought, making Hyewon stagger.
“Luckily, you didn’t die. I came after burying Du-I and Du-Dungi.”
“What’s that?”
“My goldfish.”
Hyewon rolled her eyes as if to say, ‘You didn’t even know that?’ Juwon casually scratched his neck.
“I didn’t know you named them.”
“The big one is Du-I, and the small one is Du-Dungi.”

“I bought them the same size.”
“If you look closely, they’re a bit different.”
Hyewon’s eyes were shaded as if she had cried a little. She seemed fine, looking energetic until around quitting time, but apparently, it wasn’t.
“Buy those goldfish again. I can decorate the tank for you.”
“Is that supposed to be comforting?”
Hyewon drew two dashes in her eyebrows. Uh… That looks dangerous. Juwon bit his tongue, glancing around cautiously.
Why are you getting angry when I’m even offering to decorate the house with a fish tank, which I don’t like at all? When in doubt, silence is the best policy.
“Even if I decorate the tank with a fish tank, there’s no Du-I and Du-Dungi. That makes me so angry.”
Hyewon mumbled bitterly, crouching her shoulders. Only two goldfish. What was merely a trifle to Juwon turned out to have quite a tender meaning for Hyewon. Watching that, he remembered Hyewon, tried to find a resemblance, and felt happy even if they were apart, as if they were together.
Juwon gently stroked Hyewon’s saddened back.

“Don’t be too sad. My heart is hurting too.”
Hyewon nodded. The last moments of Du-I and Du-Dungi must have been very painful, and it still hurt.
‘Cheondahee, you wicked woman.’
The more he thought about it, the more frightening she seemed. Her cunning hidden side, which he didn’t know when she was a friend, was now clearly visible. Juwon is trying various ways, but he said he can’t cut her off right now. There is no guarantee that such an incident won’t happen again today, and now, what should I do?
Hyewon, who had been sitting silently for a long time, suddenly clenched her fist.
The more I thought about it, the more frightening she became. Her inscrutable inner thoughts, which I didn’t know when she was a friend, are now clearly visible.
Juwon often tries various methods, but he says he can’t cut her off right now. There’s no guarantee that something like today won’t happen again, and now, what should he do?
Hyewon, who had been sitting gloomily for a while, suddenly clenched her fist.
“I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to smoke the hookah.”
“Hookah?”
For a moment, Juwon thought of the water pipe. During his study abroad days, there was a famous Indian restaurant in front of the school, and everyone used to smoke hookah there with a pot each.

How stressed must she be to think of smoking? Poor Hyewon.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Because you’re doing everything but the right thing.”
“Why, is there a rule that says I shouldn’t smoke hookah?”
“It just doesn’t suit you. Do you really want to do that?”
“Absolutely. I’m really fed up today. Pouring an aquarium doesn’t even make a scratch!”
Juwon, who had been contemplating for a moment, suddenly stood up.
He rummaged through the drawer and pulled out a cigarette that hadn’t been smoked for a while, tapping the case to take out a cigarette.
“If you’re frustrated, smoke one.”
On a night like this, with a suddenly appeared cigarette case. Why a cigarette?

Hyewon’s pupils vibrated left and right. There seems to be a communication error in something, but I don’t know where it went wrong.
“Instead, just one. It’s harmful to your health.”
I’m struck by a huge shock at the sight of him proudly and freely taking a drag, as if he were a very open and free man.
“……Could it be you don’t know what ‘hookah’ means?”
I really couldn’t believe it.
“I know. I used to do it a lot when I was in college.”
…Damn generation gap.
“So, what does ‘hookah’ mean?”
When he clearly pronounced “hookah,” Juwon’s pupils shook.
Even if she didn’t know, it was the expression of facing the greatest crisis in her life.
