She didn’t know whether to feel relieved or regretful. It might have been a consolation if she had heard that the company could not function without her.
Da Jung’s eyes, lost in thought, suddenly sparkled and widened. Suddenly, she checked the time and the short hand of the clock pointed at 3.
She had said they would have pizza for a late lunch, but considering the time it takes for the pizza to be delivered, it would be an early dinner.
Si Woo must be hungry.
Dajung’s eyes widened in puzzlement as she headed towards Siwoo’s room, feeling anxious. This was due to the room door that had been wide open before was now tightly shut.
Approaching Siwoo’s room, Dajung gently opened the door, her voice carrying an apology for missing lunch time.
“Siwoo, what kind of pizza would you like to eat…….”
At that moment, a heavy square object fell to the ground with a dull sound.
“Ah…….”
Her innocent eyes widened as if an earthquake had occurred. The fernlike hand that had just held something dropped it, fidgeting awkwardly in the air.
Colorful graphics were moving loudly inside the screen.
With skepticism filling her eyes, Dajung stared blankly at the unknown mobile phone.
The café was quite bustling and noisy.
Having just passed lunch time, and being situated on a main road crowded with offices and academies, it was an inevitable aspect that had to be endured.
“I have something to say. Of course…… I know you’re busy. I won’t take up too much of your time.”
Enduring the clamorous noise, Dajung’s eyes looked outside the window while on a call with someone.
“Yes, it’s the cafe across the street. How long should I wait? Ah, an hour…….”
Looking at the towering Myunghan Distribution headquarters building across the street, she swallowed her words.
“No, no, it’s okay. I can wait, so take your time. Yes, then.”
How long had passed since she hung up the phone? As she noticed the presence of heavy footsteps, a man sat down abruptly across from her.
Dajung, surprised at his sudden appearance, soon wore a dumbfounded expression.
Busy as he claimed, he showed up less than 10 minutes after hanging up, leaving her at a loss for how to react.
Even more, his forehead was slightly sweaty, and his breathing was a bit rushed, seemingly he had rushed over.
If it were going to be like this, he could have just said he was specially making time for her.
Regardless of the situation, the neatly suited Cha Jung Hyuk was splendid as always today.
“You should have come to the office.”
His languid tone clearly conveyed annoyance, but the smile on his lips told a different story.
Although Dajung could have gone to his office as he suggested, she had already left Hanbit.
“Coming to the office for personal matters not related to work is a bit…….”
Jung Hyuk, who easily accepted, leaned his upper body forward, narrowing the distance. Dajung’s voice leapt out in surprise.
“What, what are you doing?”
“No, I said I came because I missed you. Since you’re not going anywhere, take a good look.”
Dajung’s ears turned red.
“When did I say I came because I missed you? I said I had a matter to discuss!”
“Do you have any other personal matters?”
Ha, unbelievable. Dajung stuck out her tongue at his audaciousness, when a familiar voice caught her ear.
“What does this punk take my brother for? This time, it’s different.”
The man who entered the cafe walked over while chatting cheerfully on his phone and took a seat at the table behind Da Jung.
“Ah, don’t worry. That kid is actually rich.”
Unintentionally overhearing others’ phone conversation, Da Jung perked up her ears even more. At this, Jung Hyuk drew her attention.
“Yoo Da Jung?”
At his voice, Da Jung, who had momentarily lost her focus, returned her gaze back to its original place. Recalling the reason for meeting him, Da Jung hurriedly placed a substantial object on the table.
“I came to return this today.”
Her indifferent eyes moved towards the cellphone left carelessly.
“Why are you giving such things to a child?”
Seeing the phone that Si Woo possessed, Da Jung’s unanswered question from before was finally resolved.
It had been a mystery how Seo Nam Sik managed to break in at the time, how he managed to unlock the door and barge in.
There was no evidence and every time they met, the conversation flowed into different topics that she had forgotten to properly ask about it, but the secret was here.
Upon understanding Da Jung’s purpose, his expression turned surprisingly tense.
“Is this Yoo Si Woo’s? What will happen if you take it away without Yoo Da Jung’s permission?”
“Si Woo is only five years old. It’s too much.”
The corner of Jung Hyuk’s eyes noticeably crinkled.
“Too much? Do you think what would have happened that day if this wasn’t there?”
“…….”
Da Jung swallowed a sigh, unable to hide her displeased expression.
She wanted to argue, but his point wasn’t wrong. If Si Woo didn’t have a phone that day, she couldn’t guarantee what would have happened.
“It means it’s excessive to give a fiveyearold child something worth over a million won.”
“Do you think I gave it to show off my wealth? I gave it for my son’s safety. Return it to Yoo Si Woo. He can keep it since his father gave it.”
As always, once Si Woo’s safety was brought up, Da Jung found herself with no words to say.
With a glum face, Da Jung pricked up her ears. She should be conversing with the man in front of her, but her attention kept being drawn to the man’s voice on the phone behind her.
The sound of a woman’s heel clicked in the background. At the same time, the man on the phone sounded increasingly frantic.
“Hey, I’ve got to hang up. Mi Jin is here.”
The man quickly ended his call and greeted someone with a welcoming voice.
“Did our Mi Jin not have a hard time coming here?”
“Why did you call me when you are meeting that annoying woman?”
The woman’s voice was filled with irritation.
“Ah, Mi Jin, you know I like cute styles like yours.”
The woman huffed out a sigh.
“Yoo Da Jung?”
Jung Hyuk tapped the table to gain Da Jung’s attention again, but Da Jung, with a serious expression, seemed deeply worried about something.
“Min Jin Ah. How many times do I have to say? He’s just for business use. Just wait a little longer. If I hit big this time, I’ll buy you that bag you wanted last time.”
“Eek! Really, really?”
Her highpitched laughter echoed around the chaotic space before fading away.
Da Jung’s breath drastically slowed down. Her small clenched fists trembled.
Bam!
The abrupt sound of a table being struck made the air go stale.
Jung Hyuk held his breath in surprise at Da Jung’s unusual outburst. He watched her quietly, wondering why she was acting this way. Then, the words that followed took his breath away.
“This son of a…!”
It was a term he wouldn’t believe she’d ever utter. At the same moment, Da Jung fiercely gripped her handbag, making him flinch.
Her handbag, flung high into the air, surprisingly landed on the head of the man seated behind them.
The handbag, accelerated in flight, smacked into the back of the man’s head with a thud.
“You damn bastard!”
Thud, thud!
Jung Hyuk’s rigid gaze twitched slightly. He tried to maintain a calm facade, but a sudden wave of dizziness overcame him, making him wonder what he was witnessing.
“Ah! What, what’s this! Who are you?”
Caught off guard, the man clutched the back of his head.
“It’s me! An 18color Crayon!”
Da Jung retorted with audacity, like a furious bull.
“Eh! Da, Da Jung? How did Da Jung come here…uh!”
“You rotten bastard! You dare to take advantage of my friend?! You know you’re going to die by my hand today!”
Thud, thud, thud.
She was enraged like a rabid dog.
Jung Hyuk’s lips parted slightly as he stood frozen, holding his breath. From his lips, a breath laced with a hint of excitement escaped.
