Sincerity was evident in her expression. But seeing that, I became even angrier. Once again, I wanted to slap her, so I put my hand, not covered by the cast, into the pocket of my padded coat.
“Mun Da-yul.”
It seemed like someone entered the cafe, and it turned out to be Ji Seo-jun.
“Just come out.”
He walked in, grabbed my wrist, and lifted me up. Baek In-ha, who was sitting down, suddenly stood up at Ji Seo-jun’s unexpected appearance.
“Ji Seo-jun, just a moment…”
“What’s there to talk about with that woman?”
Dragged along by Ji Seo-jun’s harsh force, we left the cafe. When I looked back, Baek In-ha, with a sullen expression, bowed her head.
“Hey. You might fall. Ji Seo-jun!”
Due to the cast on one arm, it was difficult to balance in Ji Seo-jun’s sudden appearance. His strength was indeed remarkable. When I wavered, he wrapped one arm around me and lifted me up.
“I just got discharged. Huh? Want to admit me again?”
“Sorry. Are you okay?”
Only then did he loosen his stiff expression and looked me over.
“I’m not okay. Ugh… I feel like I’m going to die from the pain.”
I deliberately wrapped my head and sat down hesitantly.
“Sh-should we go to the hospital? Huh? Call 119…”
“Oh, no!”
I quickly snatched the phone from Ji Seo-jun’s hand.
“I-I’m okay now.”
“…”
“No… Your expression is too scary. So, I pretended to be in pain a bit. It was really close to falling!”
“Ha… Is it true that there’s no painful spot?”
“No.”
I covered Ji Seo-jun’s pretty eyes with the palm of my hand.
“What are you doing?”
“Your eyes, your eyes look so sad. I’m really okay now.”
Seeing Ji Seo-jun still looking uneasy made my heart ache. I wondered what would have happened if he hadn’t seen me lying on the cold asphalt, bleeding.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t be so anxious now…
Ji Seo-jun grabbed my hand, which was covering his eyes.
“Why did that woman come to see you?”
“Just. Just wanted to see me. In a healthy condition.”
“Crazy… Who worries about whom.”
“Exactly. What’s the use of coming now?”
“Don’t weaken your heart. She probably came to ask for a settlement. Erase the word ‘settlement’ from your brain for a while. Got it?”
“No. Absolutely not. A settlement.”
“But your expression now…”
“What’s wrong with my expression.”
I quickly wiped my face with my now cold hands.
“Get up. Let’s go home first. It’s too cold. What if you catch a cold?”
“Let’s go somewhere other than my house.”
“You ran out like that, and the adults are worried about you.”
“Just make a call.”
Seemingly losing to my recent disobedience, Ji Seo-jun raised his phone and called the adults. After a short conversation, Ji Seo-jun took me to the car.
“I praise you for bringing the car keys in this situation.”
“I brought them without realizing it.”
The place we arrived at after driving was a cat cafe.
“Is this heaven?”
Black cats, calico cats, chubby cats, slender cats. Sleeping cats, cats staring at me.
“We should order drinks.”
“Huh? Oh, right. Anything for me.”
I was captivated by the cat approaching me with graceful steps. Although I felt Ji Seo-jun sighing next to me, I was not concerned because of the cat rubbing against my leg.
“Can I touch it?”
The cat, shaking its head, approached me cautiously. When I reached out my hand, the cat, which Ji Seo-jun had been petting with both hands, touched my slightly swollen hand with its cute fur.
“Oh. It’s too bad that your hand is injured. I want to pet it with both hands.”
In response to my words, the cafe owner laughed heartily.
“This one is Dori. You can consider her the operations manager of this cafe. She’s received the most love from customers because of her aegyo.”
“Yes, she’s very pretty.”
Dori followed me closely and hopped onto my lap, even when I sat down. She twirled around to find a comfortable position, and finally, she settled down, looking at Ji Seo-jun and meowing.
“Is that one a male?”
“Why does that matter?”
“It matters.”
Ji Seo-jun, eyeing Dori on my lap. His expression was so amusing that laughter burst out of me.
“I’m relieved. It seems like my mood has improved a bit now.”
“Yeah. Thanks for bringing me here.”
I said as I stroked Dori’s head with my fingers.
“Actually, I received a call from the team leader yesterday. He said that Baek In-ha has been fired.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. So I couldn’t go to work, and with Baek In-ha gone, it seems this team manager suddenly returned from maternity leave.”
“Thank you.”
“Yeah. The team leader had a long conversation with Baek In-ha.”
Dori lay on my thigh, resting her chin on it. At that moment, I noticed a cat in the distance, spinning around but not coming closer, probably due to the cat treats the owner provided.
I want to eat the treats in front of me, but whether it’s because of Dori on my lap or not, I couldn’t approach them; I could only spin around.
Then, the cat stepped on Dori’s back and climbed onto the table. Dori was stepped on in an instant. However, she quickly seized the treats from the table and went down.
As if angry, Dori went down to confront the cat, but instead, she received a few hits from the cat’s front paws.
“Dori, stay here. Here!”
I shook the treats to stop the fight. However, before I could intervene, Dori, who had lost her temper, moved away to a corner.
“What did the team leader say?”
“Yeah? Ah… Just, I heard about why Baek In-ha did that…”
“Whatever the reason, what she did was wrong. She deserves to be punished.”
“Yeah, that’s right. The team leader said Baek In-ha didn’t even know what she did wrong while doing those things. Then I got hurt, and he said something hit her head.”
“So.”
“Since then, realizing how wrong she was, everything she did wrong came flooding back like a punishment. She realized how wrong she was, how crazy she was back then. So she said she’ll receive punishment, a severe one.”
I was still shaking the treats towards Dori, but she, in the distant corner, continued to meow as if she were still angry.
“But, Seo-jun, I’m really angry.”
With the treats still in my hand, I tightened my grip.
Seo-jun stood up and approached me. He took the treats from my hand and placed them in front of Dori.
