Kang Ra-Eun first decided to tell Jin Hye-Seung the reason why she had decided to move houses. The main reason was the construction noise.
“Oh, I know about that area as well,” Hye-Seung remarked as if she understood how Ra-Eun felt. “There are a lot of redevelopment projects planned in that area. Even after the construction next to your apartment complex finishes, there are going to be more of them for a while.”
Ra-Eun unconsciously trembled, to which Hye-Seung smiled brightly from seeing her cute reaction.
“Do you like peace and quiet, Ra-Eun?” she asked.
“Not necessarily. I just want at least my home to be a place where I can rest without any disturbance whatsoever.”
Ra-Eun did not want her peaceful time at home to be disturbed when she had worked hard outside. Hence, she wanted at least her home to be a place where she could just let everything go.
“If you want someplace quiet... Are you planning on moving to an apartment this time as well?” Hye-Seung asked.
“No, it doesn’t have to be an apartment.”
“Oh, really? That’s perfect.”
Hye-Seung seemed to have the perfect home for them for sale. She turned on the projector installed on the meeting room table, which showed a certain stand-alone house complex located in Seoul.
‘That house looks familiar.’
The feeling was amplified as Hye-Seung went through the slides of photos.
“Do a lot of famous people live there?” Ra-Eun asked.
“Yes, they do.”
Not only famous celebrities, but entrepreneurs, artists, and politicians lived there as well. This housing complex had appeared on broadcasts as a place that only the top 0.1% could afford. Seo Yi-Jun gulped as soon as he heard what kind of place it was.
“It must be super expensive,” he muttered.
He was not wrong, since it was several times more expensive than Ra-Eun’s current home. Hye-Seung turned to the next slide with her remote and continued her explanation.
“One of the houses just happened to be put up for sale not long ago. I’m sure you can tell from the slide, but there is a private parking lot that only residents of the complex can use. If you’ve lived in an apartment, you’ve experienced the stress from the lack of parking spaces, right?”
Ra-Eun had several times, especially during the late evening. It was no problem whenever she was given a ride by Shin Yu-Bin, but she had come to experience the issue whenever she used her own car. She sometimes had to park at the outdoor parking lot and walk all the way to her apartment when she couldn’t find any parking spaces. If they moved into the house that Hye-Seung was talking about, that issue would disappear.
There were two more good points about the complex.
“It’s close to the company building and broadcasting station.”
Yi-Jun nodded in succession. “You’re right. We’ll be there in a flash by car.”
They were pulled in by the ease of commute. The other good point was that...
“This place can’t be anything but peaceful and quiet,” Hye-Seung remarked.
Her remark left a deep impression in Ra-Eun’s mind. She had not told Hye-Seung this, but she knew the place that Hye-Seung was introducing to them very well; she had frequented that complex back when she had been Kim Han-Gyo’s bodyguard. Hence, Ra-Eun knew that everything Hye-Seung was saying was true.
