Big Life

24 – Dragon Rider (2)

- Hello, Director. I saw your text message. You went to work?

“Yes, this is a meeting. I'm having a cup of coffee in the break room. ”

Kyodo was checking his reflection on the window as he responded.

When you talk to Jae-in, you act as if you are in front of him.

You didn't hit her with another glass of milk, did you?

“He's a good listener. I ate.”

- Yeah, you did good.

Jae-in's fresh smile permeates my ears.

Kyu shrugged her shoulders for no reason. A word like this from Jae-in came to me more proudly than a compliment from my father for the company.

“Did you eat breakfast, too? ”

- Yes, I did. I'm getting ready to go.

“Are you already going to the academy? ”

- No, I have some business in Seoul today. I'm going up to see a friend about a high school reunion.

The words Seoul opened the eyes of the guard.

“Really? I'm going to have dinner with a friend. Would you like to have coffee with me sometime? ”

- Are you sure? I'd love to, but I'm sure you're busy.

“Don't worry about me, just call me later. ”

- Yeah, well, I'll see if I can get back to you with a friend.

“There you go.”

- Yeah, you are.

After the call, Kyu whistled to the bathroom.

Looking at the clothes reflected in the mirror, he grumbles. I would have cared a little more if I knew I was going to meet Jayne.

Glug glug!

The phone rang and a message flew out.

The guard, who checked the contents rather than trying to wash his hands, opened his eyes wide.

It was a message from Reconstruction.

- Hello, Director. How are you? Oscar's dungeon is doing well, so I'd like to treat you to dinner sometime. We appreciate your taking the time to contact us.

‘Hmm · · · · · · · · · · · ·? ’

Alertness comes from the tilting face of the guard.

I was really curious to meet him because of the "Dungeon of Oscar."

He knows he's meeting as a man and as a woman.

‘Man, it's a little creepy right now. ’

Kyoho was afraid of rebuilding now.

I haven't convinced my father yet.

When we talk about Jae-in, we can't give a positive answer.

- Thank you for your input, but I'll be in touch with you soon.

Kyoho wrote a brief reply after his troubles. Normally, I would have called, but I can't even do that right now. His complexion, coming out of the bathroom, had already darkened with anxiety.

“It's been too long, Jae-in. How come you haven't changed a bit? You didn't lose weight. You're still in school. ”

“What are you talking about? I did bulletproof makeup today. I got armor on my face to cover my wrinkles. You're like a college girl. ”

Jae-in smiles, holding Sook-hee's two hands, which I have met for a long time.

He was in the same class in the third grade of high school. I was well-suited, but not very friendly. He was jealous and exhibiting himself, so he stayed moderately distant from Jae-in.

“It's really nice to see you like this. How come it's just you and me? ”

“I know. They're all busy getting married and raising kids. Let's move, Sook-hee. What do you want for lunch? ”

The two of them had lunch at a nearby restaurant and discussed the schedule for the reunion. After being set to a time and place, I returned to my usual conversations.

“I heard your sister's been doing really well lately. I looked up the news and it was a joke. From Hollywood to Copyright. ”

“Yeah, it just worked out. I work hard.”

Jae-in held back briefly and cared.

If he were a close friend, he would have been excited and boasted about his brother. However, the opponent is Sook-hee, who is jealous and specialized in hobbies.

“Tsk, bitch. Very nice and bold. ”

“It's not like that. ”

“How much money do you make? Did you make, like, 10 billion? ”

Sook-hee asked again and again.

Jae-in gives you an embarrassing smile and a vague nod.

Soon, Sook-hee opened her mouth as if surprised.

“Really? You really made 10 billion? ”

“Why do you keep asking me that? ”

“Why do you make so much money writing? I just threw it once. ”

“The e-book market has grown, and I think I've seen it. ”

Sook-hee leaned back with her tongue out.

In the beginning, I was talking about money to show off the wealth of my soon to marry boyfriend. A strand of tears gushed out from her breasts.

“I see. That's great. It's a long time ago that people who write suffer. Why don't I write a novel? ”

Sook-hee stretches her legs and shudders. Then he changed his aim point and said,

“But I've been busy with novels and whatever. I don't have time for hobbies. ”

“Saw the prose. He was handsome.”

“It's just a little something, right? I met him at the Swing Dance Club, and I thought he had a booty on his face, and he lived in a pretty nice house. My dad owns a small and medium-sized IT company. ”

“Well met, congratulations. I'll get a bouquet after the wedding. ”

Jae-in smiles and congratulates him.

Sook-hee didn't look good. I felt overwhelmed by the existence of the reconstruction and did not boast properly.

“Don't you have a boyfriend? ”

“Me? Hmm · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“What's that look on your face? What do you do? ”

Sook-hee asked me like a pig.

Jae-in caught a glimpse of her plot to compare her boyfriend to boyfriend and put a meaningless smile on her mouth.

“Huh? What kind of person? I wonder.”

“Just · · · · · · · Company personnel. ”

“Company? What company? ”

“I go to a game company. ”

Even with protection, I couldn't say any longer.

Sook-hee was dragging her tongue, throwing a pity glance.

“It's a tough game company. I heard that your boyfriend is from IT. You said it was a long night and a long night. ”

“It can't be that hard. ”

“That's right, but yeah. What if he's a little poor? You must have a lot of money thanks to your brother. Hohoho.”

Sook-hee covered her mouth and burst into laughter, but Jae-in was filled with stubbornness.

I desperately wished that it would be time to break up because I was uncomfortable.

“You enjoyed your meal. I'll pay.”

“No, you came all the way up to Seoul, but I have to pay. ”

Jae-in and Sook-hee, who finished eating, came out.

Sook-hee suggested pointing to a cafe across the street.

“Would you like some coffee? ”

“I'm really sorry, but I have to go now because of the school. ”

Jae-in stopped smiling.

Sook-hee nodded with a look of disappointment.

“Then there's nothing I can do. Do you want me to take you? ”

“No, take the subway and I'll be right there. ”

“Okay. I'll see you on the day of the reunion and be careful. I'm coming.”

“Yeah, you drive safely. See you soon, Sook-hee. ”

After Sukhee broke up with Jae-in stopped by the pharmacy. After buying a digestant, she reaches for the subway station and picks up her phone. At the end of the tone, Kyu-cho quickly received a phone call.

- Are you done yet?

“Yes, I had lunch and set a place for the reunion and broke up right away. ”

- If you have a problem with the venue, let me know. I can get you someplace nice.

“No, Director. You're still busy. ”

- Anyway, let's meet and talk. Where are you now? I'll go that way.

“Don't do that. Can I go near your company? ”

- Coming near the company?

“Yeah, it's not that far from here. I feel like hanging out today, and if you don't mind, I'll go to the board. ”

- Well, that's okay, but are you sure this isn't too hard?

“It's really not far. I'll get back to you. ”

Jae-in hung up on me and smiled.

I also felt like I knew what Kyoho was making. The more I met him, the more he secretly looked like a boy. Her steps through the pass are speeding up.

“Sir, you can't keep going alone like this. Please tell me something. ”

“I worry too much about the boatman. She's going for a walk to see her son. What's bothering you? ”

He said as if he was grumbling.

He put on a hat and wore a hiking suit.

After a recent walk, the destination was Nexion headquarters. I'm worried about my son who is in love with a woman who doesn't even know who he is.

The captain of the boat in his 40s said with an embarrassed look on his face, following behind him.

“There must be a lot of people who recognize you. ”

“That's why you're wearing bunnies and climbing suits. ”

“I'm a little worried about my health these days. ”

“Oh, that's why I'm walking like the doctor said! ”

Gyu Baek couldn't stop the bullet.

It's because I can't buy a snack at my own expense when I'm with the boat manager.

It shouldn't be bad for the body, it shouldn't be dangerous, it's not supposed to be a placenta that ends with a 'no’.

After walking for a while, I noticed the pharmacy.

Gyu Baek stopped to walk and told the boat manager that he thought it was going well.

“Hey, boatman. Buy me a buckwheat while I'm thirsty. ”

“No. ”

The captain shakes his head firmly.

Kyung-baek's face distorted like a garbage car that dries into a press.

“Are you saying you can't hear me? ”

“No, because I know what you were thinking. I won't be fooled twice. ”

I was talking about work a few weeks ago.

He also asked him to buy some bread and then ran away while the boat captain was gone.

“I'm really thirsty. And you know where I'm going. ”

“Hmm · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The boatman stared at the skyscraper over his shoulder as he drooled.

Just a few hundred meters away, the building was the headquarters of the Connection where the guard was working.

“Very well. You really need to stay here. ”

“Must be rooted like a tree-hugger. ”

The boat captain ran towards the pharmacy.

Immediately after he entered through the automatic gate, Gyu Baek quickly threw himself into the crowd. I was filled with laughter as pure as a child.

“Huff-puff, only people know how to do that! ”

After clearing the street quite a bit, he stopped running.

He smiled as arrogantly as a child, feeling proud that he had lost the ship.

‘Ugh! ’

Suddenly, Kyungbaek stopped walking.

The smile that was full of faces disappeared. A sudden convulsion covered my entire body from head to toe. It was a seizure from a myocardial infarction.

“Huh, haha · · · · · · · ·! ”

Kyungbaek collapses on the pavement.

His face, looking up at the sky, was as white as a hunk of white.

“Sir? Are you okay?! ”

Suddenly, the flying hand supported his head.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The face of a woman I had never seen before filled his gaze.

“Are you sick? Somebody call an ambulance! ”

The woman shouts and kneels on the ground.

Her white trousers are dirty, and she supports them on her legs and asks again.

“Are you having a heart attack? Do you carry drugs or something? ”

Gyu Baek was not a situation that could be answered.

The woman urgently strokes his body with her hands. She quickly found the medicine in her breast pocket and put it under her tongue.

“What, what happened? ”

“I don't know. He just collapsed.”

Suddenly, many people were surrounding the woman and her confession.

After a while.

The captain's frightened face burrows through the crowd.

“Ouch, Chairman! ”

The boatman thought about it and threw out the quantum tonic in his hand. The woman lending her knee to Gyu Baek said as if she was relieved.

“You're having a myocardial infarction, right? I gave you your medicine. You'll be fine. ”

“Thank you so much for this! This will happen in a moment! ”

The boat leader blames himself and calls the team members. Then, he raised his voice and thanked the woman again.

“I want to make it up to you. If you don't mind, please give us your contact information. ”

“You don't have to do that. It's okay.”

“Your pants got dirty like that. I have to pay for the laundry, but when it comes to cash... ”

“I'm fine. Be careful. I'll be going now. ”

The woman stood up, tucked her pants, and turned around.

The two pupils of Kwai Baek, which were still shaking, were still capturing the back of the woman who was getting smaller.

It was a fleeting moment, but the woman's face was clearly imprinted on his brain.
