"What do you think is out there?"
"Well... whatever it is, it definitely won't be more delicious than the food you are eating here."
"Wow...."
"Maybe Deok-gu wants something to eat."
"Well...."
"...."
"...."
"It's okay."
The two who were talking to each other became strangely quiet. This had become a regular occurrence now.
Jung Hayan was staring at me and couldn't hold back her tears.
It wasn't as passionate as the first time, but every time I saw her tears falling like that, I felt a little strange. Of course, the situation itself was not that good.
It was because Kim Jae-joon and Jung Jin-ho kept looking at this side.
In order to ruin the atmosphere of the party even more, during various conversations, Jung Hayan cried out in this way, and it was unavoidable that the atmosphere became a little quiet. Someone would have thought it was me who died, not Lee Ki-cheol.
In fact, it became a routine for Jung Hayan to stare at Kim Jae-joon. Nobody could imagine how uncomfortable Kim Jae-joon was.
They were already in a position to stand on our side.
As Lee Ki-cheol suffered an unexpected accident, the balance of power that had been maintained collapsed. Jung Jin-ho's party actually seemed to have given up trying to hunt us.
Jung Jin-ho might have decided that it would be better not to launch an attack as long as there wasn't any good opportunity to do so.
'I would have done the same thing.'
Even if I was in Jung Jin-ho's position, I would have completely canceled the plan to kill Kim Hyun-sung's party. This was why they were sensitive to even the slightest conflict.
"I'm really sorry."
"No, Mr. Jinho. That's a little embarrassing. In fact, I am the one who should apologize."
He had been apologizing like this over and over again.
"I... I was just excited."
"Of course you were excited. I also apologize again."
I don't know what the two had talked about, but whenever Jung Jin-ho apologized, Kim Jae-joon also expressed his apology.
The problem was that, little by little, Jung Hayan was showing hostility.
"I, why did I do that, I'm sorry...."
More often than not, they talked about this among themselves as if it was not for us to listen. I was not worried about them talking about attacking us, as I could discern that much.
What humored me was Yoo Seok-woo's reaction.
"...."
From the time I first revealed that I was close to Jung Hayan, he seemed to be in a bad mood. As expected, when Jung Hayan and I started to hang around, he often showed signs of discomfort.
In particular, it seemed to him that Hayan had swollen eyes because she had been crying for me. That was how much Jung Hayan was thinking of me.
'Yoo Seok-woo....'
In the first place, he was nothing more than a rapist for Jung Hayan.
In fact, even if he had only tried to do it once, it was still correct to say that him being here was slightly absurd.
