The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 217+218

Ch 217: 

Kim Eun-joo, who had been practicing alone in the gym, only turned off the lights and went outside after a late hour.

"Oh... I don't have an umbrella."

Kim Eun-joo suddenly remembered Huang Jin-woo's offer to call him anytime and decided to make the call.

(Hello?)

"Huang Jin-woo, what are you doing?"

Actually, she could contact her parents. But Kim Eun-joo just wanted to ask Huang Jin-woo to come pick her up. Feeling embarrassed, she cleared her throat, aware of Huang Jin-woo's lack of response.

"Oh, were you asleep? Never mind then."

(······ Do you not have an umbrella?)

"Yeah."

As expected, he was quick to catch on. As she responded with a little laugh, she could feel Huang Jin-woo sighing on the other end of the line. What was going on?

"But why does your voice sound like that? Are you sick?"

"No, it's nothing. You can just head to the gym, right?"

"Yeah. Oh? Wait a minute."

Someone was watching Kim Eun-joo, who was shyly talking on the phone, from a car. It was Huang Soo-chul, who couldn't suppress his impulse and was trembling with his hands. He had happened to spot Kim Eun-joo standing outside the gym while looking for a target.

He checked his expression in the rearview mirror, relaxing his tightly shut mouth and stiff facial muscles to put on a friendly face. He parked the car in front of Kim Eun-joo and lowered the passenger window.

"Student! You're Jin-woo's friend, right?"

"Uh? Hello!"

"Do you want a ride? I can give you a lift."

Kim Eun-joo hesitated for a moment but eventually opened the passenger door and got into the car. After all, it was Huang Jin-woo's father. She knew him well through their mothers and didn't want to bother a tired Huang Jin-woo.

"Hey, Kim Eun-joo."

"No, you don't need to come. Your dad is giving me a ride."

"What? Wait a minute, Eun-joo."

After ending the call and fastening her seatbelt, Kim Eun-joo spoke cheerfully.

"Thank you. I hope I'm not being a bother."

"No, it's on my way. What's your address?"

Huang Soo-chul smiled broadly and reassured her.

"Your parents will worry, so you should let them know in advance."

"Oh!"

Hearing this made her feel reassured. Kim Eun-joo tried to ignore Huang Jin-woo, who kept calling her, and was about to contact her mother.

"Huh?"

Until Huang Soo-chul knocked Kim Eun-joo out. Huang Soo-chul reached out his fist, and the screen showed his car stopped in the rain.

"Ugh..."

Kim Eun-joo's head drooped helplessly, and Huang Soo-chul drove away with a chilling smile. Kim Eun-joo's phone screen flashed with Huang Jin-woo's name.

-----

As Kim Eun-joo did not answer, Huang Jin-woo anxiously bit his nails and ran out of his room.

'No way, could it be?'
