NOVEL NEXT WORLD S-Class Except Me
Chapter 104
* * *
That time. There was a black car waiting in front of the station. “Isn’t that Jung Haeun?” Jung Eunwoo, who was behind the wheel in a heavily tinted car, was smiling. Jung Sehyun, sitting in the passenger seat, responded. “Where?” “There are two people walking right now.” Jung Sehyun narrowed his eyes. Just as Jung Eunwoo said, Haeun and Seo Dojoon were walking side by side on the street. The direction they are heading is the newly expanded parking lot opposite the broadcasting station. “It’s true.” Jung Sehyun opened his cell phone and checked. Wow Sehyun-ah, Yoo Seokjae is here (emoticon) [9:25 AM] (Photo) [9:32 AM] I got the autograph>< [9:32 AM] [9:33 AM] Wow, that’s cool. [9:33 AM] What time does it finish today? It will take a long time, maybe 3 o’clock? [9:38 AM] Apparently, his sister had said that filming would end around three o’clock. For reference, the current time was a little over two o’clock. Jung Sehyun tapped the keyboard of his cell phone with an expressionless face. [2:01 PM] Are you finished, Noona? [2:01 PM] I’ll pick you up. Haeun, seen through the windshield of a car, stops on the street and checks her cell phone. Then, immediately, an answer came to Jung Sehyun’s cell phone. No, no. You don’t have to come. [2:02 PM] Still filming~ I’ll leave on my own [2:02 PM] “Noona is lying.” Jung Sehyun, who closed the app, muttered refreshingly. Then Jung Jinho, who was sitting in the back seat, pushed his head forward. “Why? What is Haeun saying?” “She told me they were still filming but actually going somewhere with Hunter Seo Dojoon.” “How can you lie to your family…! Haeun-ah…!” Jung Jinho cried out in betrayal. His lovely daughter was blind to her boyfriend and was lying every time she opened her mouth. “Phew.” And even Lee Yoonkyung shakes her head and sighs as if there is nothing she can do. Currently, Haeun’s family was out in full force to pick her up. The only reason her family made this decision was because of Seo Dojoon, who suddenly became Haeun’s boyfriend. In particular, Jung’s men were not convinced about her love life. “Let’s follow her, Hyung.” “Of course.” Jung Eunwoo started the car with a grinding sound. Lee Yoonkyung laughed awkwardly and tried to stop them. “Eunwoo-ya, Haeun is all grown up, it’s a bit…” “Honey, what do you mean all grown up? Haeun is still young. And all men are wolves.” “That’s right. And I don’t think Seo Dojoon is dating her purely because he likes her.” “What on earth was going on between the two? She must have been threatened.” “What kind of person can threaten Haeun?” Rather, Lee Yoonkyung’s honest feelings were that Haeun may have threatened Seo Dojoon and asked him to date her. Of course, when she heard that Haeun was dating Seo Dojoon, she was so surprised. She insisted that it wasn’t true, but then she realized that her intuition was right. But that didn’t mean she was against Haeun’s relationship. ‘She has to date a lot to meet a good person.’ Even though Seo Dojoon wasn’t always reliable, he wasn’t a bad guy to date for a short relationship. However, the three guys in the Jung family who are currently huddled together in the car don’t seem to want to acknowledge this. Even though they didn’t show it in front of Haeun, Lee Yoonkyung knew that they were plotting something behind her back. And today is just the realization of the plan they have been planning for a while. The car started and began to move cautiously. ‘Haeun won’t like it.’ There is no way Haeun, who is an EX, wouldn’t notice that her family is secretly following her. However, Lee Yoonkyung alone couldn’t stop the three people who recklessly followed her. Lee Yoonkyung leaned against the back of her seat, sensing that there was nothing she could do. ‘I’m sorry, Haeun-ah.’ In her heart, she truly felt sorry for Haeun. * * * The restaurant Seo Dojoon mentioned was composed of a room type and was frequently visited by celebrities. Although it was located close to the broadcasting station, it was still a distance that had to be traveled by car. As she was heading to where Seo Dojoon’s car was parked, a notification suddenly rang that a message had arrived. Are you finished, Noona? [2:01 PM] I’ll pick you up [2:01 PM] It’s Jung Sehyun. He said he would come pick her up, which made her happy, but Haeun was already on her way to lunch. Just as Haeun was about to tell the truth, she realized that her family didn’t like Seo Dojoon very much. Jung Sehyun is better, but anyway. ‘There’s… no need to say it.’ [2:02 PM] No, no. You don’t have to come [2:02 PM] Still filming~ I’ll leave on my own Haeun, who put her cell phone in her bag, asked Seo Dojoon. “How long will it take to get there?” “We’ll be there in about ten minutes.” That’s close and fine. Haeun nodded. However, not long after she moved in Seo Dojoon’s car, Haeun suffered from a strangely uneasy feeling. ‘Why do I keep feeling like someone is looking at me like this?’ Haeun looked around. At that time, Seo Dojoon’s eyes met hers and he suddenly opened his mouth. “Haeun-ssi.” “Yes?” “Someone followed us.” “What?” Haeun checked the side mirror. The black car seen next, with one car in between, looks familiar. “It’s Jung Eunwoo’s car, right?” Haeun opened her eyes wide. She realized the identity of her uneasy feeling. Suddenly, Haeun had an intuition that Jung Eunwoo wasn’t the only one in that car. She is sure that Sehyun, her dad, and maybe her mom are there. Haeun urged Seo Dojoon. “Get out of the way right now.” “All right. Fasten your seat belt, Haeun-ssi.” Seo Dojoon increased his speed. And as if he had noticed this, Jung Eunwoo’s car began to follow them persistently. ‘Why on earth is my family following me?’ Haeun stamped her feet. The restaurant she had originally planned to visit disappeared from Haeun’s sight. Oh, no. My lunch. “I will go to the outer for a while and then come back.” On the increasingly blocked road, Dojoon changed the route. Haeun called Jung Eunwoo even though she couldn’t see it. A short waiting tone was heard and Jung Eunwoo answered the phone. Ha-eun suddenly screamed. “Oppa! Why on earth are you following me?” As if the whole family was really there, there was a buzz on the other side of the cell phone, and soon Jung Eunwoo’s voice was heard. – Then why are you running away? “I ran away because Oppa is following me!” – If you don’t have to kneel, stop the car. “I don’t want to?” – Oh, okay. With those words, the short phone call ended. Jung Eunwoo’s car is still following Haeun and Seo Dojoon. Now, as if he has no intention of hiding, he follows closely behind. Are you saying… you want to try it with me now? Haeun’s mouth trembled and she muttered in a voice without a trace of laughter. “Honey, let’s run away at all costs.” “All right.” If this happens, I will run away until the end! A chase continued for a while. Seo Dojoon, who was driving on a congested Seoul road, deliberately drove the car to a place where taxis were gathered. Several taxis, who had no fear, cut in front of Jung Eunwoo on the road. Bang—! Bang—! When Jung Eunwoo gets angry while honking his horn, they respond with a louder sound of the horn. And, crucially, the persistent chase was stopped after receiving a signal at an intersection. Haeun was excited and shrugged her shoulders as she checked Jung Eunwoo’s car, which had been forced to stop over the crosswalk. “Whoa, Seo Dojoon-ssi. Did you just lead them this way on purpose? You’re really good at driving, aren’t you?” “It’s nothing special.” “Pft. My brother must be a little upset.” Just then, Haeun’s cell phone rang with perfect timing. This is a call from Jung Eunwoo. “Mmhm, I don’t want to~” Haeun quickly pressed the reject button. It rang a few more times, but the result was the same. “Kyaa.” It felt great for Jung Eunwoo to chew on her whole phone. However, she had already gone quite far from the restaurant she had originally intended to go to. To make matters worse, she entered the highway where the car went off the outskirts. ‘I think it’ll be hard to go anywhere anyway.’ Ha-eun saw a sign saying that there were not many rest areas left and suggested it to Seo Dojoon. “Do you want to stop by the rest area, buy some snacks, and just go for a drive?” “That will be good.” People will notice them no matter what place they go to, so she thinks it’s better that way. Fortunately, the rest area they chose wasn’t crowded. Haeun decided to buy the food. Seo Dojoon was able to attract attention because of his tall height even if his face was covered. “Is there anything you want to eat?” “Anything is fine with me.” “Then I’ll buy it in moderation. “I’ll be back soon, so please wait in the car.” Seo Dojoon nodded, saying he understood. It was a small rest area, but it had everything they needed. After taking a large walk around the rest area, Haeun decided on what to buy and headed to the bathroom. She apparently drank too much water during filming. She feels thirsty… While Haeun was washing her hands after running her business, her cell phone rang. There was a message from Jung Sehyun. Is it a message that’s questioning where she went? But only one photo arrived. Haeun, who confirmed this without thinking, instantly got a sore throat and coughed out. “Cough, cough…” W, what is this? The photo shows Seo Dojoon, who was caught, and Jung Jinho, who is standing with his arms crossed in front of him. And a message emerged beneath it. Noona. Where did you go?^^ [2:47 PM] Haeun quickly came out, rubbing her goosebumps on her arms. She quickly turned her head and looked for Seo Dojoon’s parked car. And finally, next to Seo Dojoon’s car… “You finally come out.” As seen in the photo, the entire family was gathered together and waiting for Haeun. “Haeun-ssi.” Seo Dojoon is calling Ha-eun in an extremely pathetic manner. “Phew.” Haeun let out a deep sigh at the inevitable situation.
