chapter 38
38 – Big Explosion Again (3)
Unlike yesterday.
Today, I was able to safely take the subway and return home.
I was coming home from work and was thinking about the promise Si-eun had unilaterally made.
When Gyeong-tae heard the entire promise, he naturally glowed and said he was happy.
This is the first time I have seen Gyeongtae express such joy.
“Umm… ….”
But on the other hand, I had quite a few concerns.
There was one very big problem with meeting Si-eun without thinking on a holiday.
“Okay.”
I groaned softly and picked up my phone.
A wallpaper that immediately comes to mind brightly.
Last Saturday.
It was a two-shot taken side by side with Ruina at the beach we visited while meeting Ex Machina.
The girlfriend on the screen is smiling brightly, with her shoulder pressed against mine.
It was her cute and bright face that gave a ray of bright light to my dull cell phone.
However, as I looked at Ruina’s bright face, my face was gradually turning into a dark, earthy color.
“There will definitely be chaos.”
On a holiday, he leaves Ruina at home and goes to meet another woman.
With that premise alone, it was already two outs and two strikes.
Ruina might complain even if she goes to meet a man.
Are you going to go out and meet a woman other than yourself?
It was a long time since the incident at the bank, and it may have been a while since we could see Ruina’s scary expression.
“I’m sorry Si-eun, but I think it would be better to refuse.”
If you go outside without thinking, you won’t even want to think about the chaos that will unfold afterwards.
And Gyeongtae also wants some alone time with the woman, so isn’t it good for both of them?
“Ha…. “Let’s leave it at that.”
The moment that touched her heart.
While I was standing, I made eye contact with the subway passenger sitting in front of me.
He squinted and looked away after half a minute.
“……… ….”
Recently, due to the direct communication device connected to Ruina, the tendency to talk to myself rather than think has increased.
Thanks to this person, he must have seemed like a crazy person muttering to himself.
Out of belated embarrassment, I had no choice but to move where I was standing.
* * *
“Is there anything you’re worried about?”
After returning home.
Ruina snuck up next to me as I was packing up my luggage and immediately asked.
“Huh? “Do you think so?”
“Yes, yes. “Because he subtly reveals his thoughts through his face.”
“Ha, hahahaha…. Just a little bit about work…….”
I answered as much as possible, erasing Blaise’s thoughts from my mind.
Luckily, Ruina had no doubts.
She was just showing off her cute smile.
“hehehe. Better than that baby?”
“Yes. Why?”
“This weekend. “I want to go out with you.”
“On the week or weekend? “Is there somewhere you want to go?”
“No, no. Just anywhere. “I’m happy anywhere as long as I’m with you.”
“Uh… huh. So let’s do that. “First, let me change and have dinner right away.”
“hehehehe. “It’s a delicious dinner that he cooks~”
Louis I was in such a good mood that she ran out of her room.
I guess I also had an unexpected weekend appointment with Ruina.
Now I have to say sorry to Si-eun and refuse…….
“Ah.”
I realized it too late.
Now that I think about it, I don’t know his phone number at all.
It was disrespectful.
I thought nothing of it because it was a motive.
But because of a personal promise, I can’t ask Si-eun’s agency for her phone number.
Rather, I won’t know unless I’m asked why I need Blaze’s contact information.
“Haaa… ….”
I don’t know.
Anyway, I haven’t heard anything about when, where, or how to meet, but I’m sure Si-eun will contact me on her own.
Let’s politely decline at that time.
Eventually, she took off her suit, changed into breathable homewear, and came out to the living room.
Ruina is smiling on the living room sofa, looking very happy.
She was bobbing her head from side to side.
“Dinner~♪ Dinner~♪”
How much I look forward to dinner.
She was humming a simple dinner song.
I have a girlfriend who looks forward to the mediocre meal I make.
After all, I can’t go see another woman without her knowing.
I gathered my wits and started preparing to cook.
* * *
“Whoa. I really enjoyed the meal. “Of course, the food he cooks is the most delicious.”
Ruina patted her stomach, and she felt a pleasant feeling of fullness.
It wasn’t really anything special, but the quality itself was just that of a mediocre home meal.
Rui I like her now more than any other time just because she is with Seonghun.
Looking face to face with your loved one.
The story blooms as usual.
Eat meals using utensils normally.
Just ten days ago, it was an ordinary daily life that I could only dream of.
For Ruina, the only time better than this was when she fell asleep close to Seonghun, feeling each other’s breath.
“Now, here are the dishes.”
“Yes. “Thank you, Ruina.”
Ruina gathered up her utensils and dishes and handed them to Seonghun.
Seonghun, wearing rubber gloves in the kitchen, accepted them with a gentle smile.
“I’ll finish washing the dishes soon. “Go and watch TV at least.”
“Yes~”
She wanted to help Seonghun even more, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do.
That’s because, if Seong-Hoon is focusing on something and using both of her hands, we can’t reset her Ruina’s abilities.
“Umm…. “Would you like to organize something?”
Ruina, who was about to jump up on her sofa, stopped in her tracks.
There were still about 2 minutes and 30 seconds left until Seonghun’s nullification time was given to him.
This amount of time seemed like enough time for him to secretly do a good deed.
“hehehe… ….”
Ruina glanced back at Seonghun.
He was in the middle of a fight with dishes and foam in the kitchen sink.
“He’ll be surprised if I tidy up his room, right?”
After finishing her thoughts, Louisa took immediate action and headed towards her bedroom.
The bedroom where Ruina and Seonghun shared a bed was not that big, so it felt like it had been cleaned just by organizing a few visible items.
“f*ck you.”
Ruina was the first to smooth out the wrinkles in the blanket on the bed.
“This way.”
Next, I organized the hangers where Seonghoon and Ruina’s clothes were hung.
Among them was the loose hooded coat that Ruina wore when she was at the peak of her villain activities.
“I won’t have to wear it anymore, so should I throw it away…? …. No. “Let’s think about it later.”
It is a waste of time to stand still and think.
Louis I again cleaned up the messes in her eyes one by one.
She must have passed like that for about a minute.
“Okay.”
Louis I crossed her arms and groaned.
The scenery of her bedroom didn’t change much from before she cleaned it up.
“I usually keep things organized so well that it’s not noticeable…” ….”
She wanted to receive a compliment from Seonghun when she saw her neatly organized room.
It was clear that if she did this, he wouldn’t notice unless she made it obvious.
“Something makes me feel weak… ….”
Her shoulders slumped and she was about to return to the sofa again.
Buuung—!
Sung Hoon’s cell phone, which was placed on the mini table next to the bed, buzzed.
The number on the screen does not seem to be saved on his phone.
The call was displayed with only 11 digits.
Seeing that the call didn’t hang up right away at this late hour, it was clear that it was a call that Seonghun had something to attend to.
“Umm…. Ah!”
It was a moment when I wondered if I should tell Seonghoon this right away.
Louis, who was tidying up his room here and there to get her compliments, had a flash in my mind.
This situation is where Seonghoon is doing housework.
If you tactfully answer the phone on his behalf and later tell him that you received a call like this, he will definitely be happy.
This is your chance to receive praise!
Louis I pressed the receive button on her cell phone, which was still buzzing, and held it to her ear.
[Ah, I finally get it now. About us meeting. I feel like I didn’t say anything.]
“………… ?”
Female voice.
It was the lively voice of a woman I had heard somewhere before.
What about meeting more than that?
Sung Hoon and a woman meeting?
Ruina’s hand gently holding the cell phone wriggled.
I started to lose some strength.
[Is it okay if we meet at the central station square around lunchtime on Saturday? I happened to have a discount coupon for a restaurant nearby. It’s not a very high-end restaurant, so dress lightly. So, that’s how you do it? Understand?]
There is a moment of silence.
Louis I stood silently holding the cell phone, and when the person on the other end of the receiver said nothing, she remained silent for a moment.
[Sung Hoon? Seong-Hoon Cho~? Are you not hearing properly?]
“Who are you?”
Louis’ cold words were conveyed to her partner.
[Huh? A woman’s voice? I’m sure Kyung-tae said this was the right number. Isn’t this Jo Seong-hoon’s cell phone?]
“That’s right, but who are you?”
[Huh? Oh, are you by any chance Yuri? Are you with Seonghoon now? Oops. Looks like I got in the way. This is Han Si-eun. Blaze.]
“Blaze… ….”
Sung Hoon’s classmate when he was a student at the academy.
The opponent was a very famous and popular hero now.
But the hero is trying to meet Seong-Hoon secretly?
Sung Hoon didn’t say a word to you?
“Meeting on the weekend. What are you talking about.”
[There is that. It’s been a while since we met and I thought we could have a meal together. We haven’t had any interaction with that guy for two years since he graduated.]
“He has plans with me for the weekend.”
[Oh. Is it so? Didn’t Seonghoon tell you about it? …. Then I’m sorry, but Seonghoon, could you change it for me? Adjust the schedule once again──.]
“…… Why me?”
[Yes?]
This was right after Blaze made a bewildered comment at Ruina’s cold, knife-like words.
“Hey, Ruina. If you get a call—ah.”
“……… ….”
Sung Hoon came to the room.
And Ruina greets him with an expressionless expression.
And then soon.
Sung Hoon’s cell phone was in her hand.
Crispy──!!
It exploded in an instant, leaving no trace of its existence.
