The Divorced Man Has Returned - The Divorced Man Has Returned chapter 122
#122. Did you wear it…?
“This is Chilsung Management. Yu Shi-hwa, this is just one business card…”
“This is Taehwa management. We can also offer you really good conditions.”
Ah… I’m tired…
I was very annoyed that I had to go through this again.
“I have no idea.”
However, the recruitment of that guy did not stop even if he shook it off.
I thought that I had no choice but to respond to the association’s investigation.
Originally, if I was involved in such an incident, I had to report it accordingly.
Of course, that was not to say that the process was never simple.
Especially, I am an academy aspirant, not a hunter who used to work with a rank.
In addition to making a statement about the incident, I also had to explain myself.
Today, I was caught for three hours as if it was a hearing, and I had to answer questions that were nonsense.
[What kind of education did you receive when you were young?]
[Which academy are you currently enrolled in and who taught you?]
[What is your personal training routine?]
There’s only one question they’d like to ask me as they turn and turn.
[How did you get to that point at that age?]
But I was well aware that my answer could not be an ironclad reference.
Yes, my talent was innate, and the regression that overlapped it made me a deformed being.
Of course, I wasn’t the only person like that.
Three people except me.
Choi Inwook.
Harin Yoon.
Hayena.
I never imagined that I would be the first among them to be in the spotlight.
I thought Choi In-wook would at least be like that first.
Because he was a better person than me.
There was a time when I wanted to get out of this damn building, ignoring all offers from the salespeople.
“You Shihwa! Wait a minute!”
I wondered who would call my name cheekily without even adding Mr.
, But when I turned my back, what was waiting for me was the apprenticeship of a little boy I met in Busan as well.
“…Isn’t it time to work?”
I turned her head to give a blunt answer and looked at her with her sullen eyes.
“I said that I know you, so the team leader sent it to me.”
“What does it have to do with knowing me and being naughty?”
“…Give me a business card and come over for a cup of coffee?”
I thought that there are as many idiots as there are people in the hunter world who can get a job without any academic background, even though they are trying to build a network by sending in an apprenticeship.
“Do you want to drink coffee hahahoho with me like that?”
I think I suppressed the steamboat to show who I was in Busan, but Lee Ji-eun followed me like a young puppy.
“Hey. Don’t do that too much, just take me off the afternoon time once. Yes?”
“It bothers me.”
“Honestly, I couldn’t win without me that day.”
“I won even if it wasn’t for you.”
Although she seemed to have clearly communicated her intention to decline, she showed no sign of falling.
“I won because I told Master the location of the core.”
“…Don’t we talk about him here?”
It was a place where there were many ears to hear.
I had a hard time avoiding questions about Choi In-wook, but I didn’t want to get caught up in this useless conversation, so I quietly decided to take Lee Ji-eun and go outside.
The two of us ordered drinks and faced each other.
Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever been alone to a place like this with anyone except Choi In-wook.
“It’s Sihwa. You eat this cake too. Absolutely delicious.”
She savored the dessert with a happy expression, as if she didn’t mind putting the cream on her lips.
“…I’ll wait until 30 minutes and then I’ll go.”
“Is it 15 minutes now?”
“So you’re saying that you’re going to be there in 15 more minutes.”
“No, where is such a thing!”
Lee Ji-eun tackled what he was saying, but I had no intention of wasting any more time here.
“Thank you for accepting my business card.”
“Chi…”
Lee Ji-eun, holding a smoothie glass with her two hands, sipped the drink.
“So, do you have a favorite manager? Rumor has it that you are graduating early from the academy.”
Whether she was curious about her future plans, she glanced at her secretly and asked a question.
“There are places I have thought of. It has not been decided yet.”
“That’s right… I’m envious…”
I looked out the window with her longing eyes burdening me.
In fact, the manager was going to enter the same place as in her previous life anyway.
The largest scale in Korea. The company that most S-class hunters belong to.
Four properties management.
He did the most clean and clear work, and Choi In-wook was also a member of the manager.
“It’s good to build a career in the association first.”
It was only Nana Choi In-wook who did a special case of Ramada, but the place where she is currently working was like receiving the best treatment among her aspiring students.
“…You and Choi In-wook are the same.”
The author’s face is filled with suspicion.
“Did you even ride a time machine?”
I’ve never felt the feeling of embarrassment, but this time around, it was difficult for me to keep my expressionless expression.
“…What?”
* *
I decided to go on a date with Inwook, so I arrived at the meeting place first and tried to smile while standing in front of the mirror.
For the past few days when I realized that I had not had a baby, I was so anxious that I could say that I was engulfed in nervousness.
Of course I knew.
The fact that even on a dangerous day, you can never have children.
Maybe the hole he drilled that day was so small that the semen couldn’t get out.
I was thinking about taking the test, but I thought I couldn’t fill myself with the first drink, so I decided to try one more time.
“Whoa…”
After taking a long, deep breath, I looked in the mirror again and fixed my makeup.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Neat style that Inwook always had a good reaction to.
I applied a slightly pinkish lip balm and wanted to keep my poker face as natural as possible.
Weeeing
[Harina. Where are you? I have arrived.]
[Ah. You’re already here I’m in the bathroom right now, so I’ll leave soon.]
In the distance, I saw Inwook looking down at his phone with his arms crossed.
“Inwook!”
“Uh. Harina.”
When I approached him with a bright smile, he greeted me with a smile as if he was happy.
“I was worried. I have a very bad voice.”
Even so, he seemed to have noticed my feelings just from the short call the other day, for fear that someone would say that he wasn’t my ex-husband.
“I didn’t see it so much, so I did it because I wanted to see it.”
“Really? Then I’m happy.”
Inwook looks at me with suspicious eyes.
“Yes. Really.”
I grabbed his wrist and went up to the restaurant and asked him to prepare the food I had reserved right away.
“Why did you come to such an expensive place again?”
“You worked hard in Busan.”
Of course, I knew that I was with Yoo Shi-hwa, but I didn’t want to talk about it.
“Good job. Really.”
One of the big reasons I fell in love with Inwook and fell in love again.
He was a man who was determined about what he wanted to do with his work.
He worked that hard, and he jumped out whenever the scene needed him, especially if the civilians were in danger.
To be honest, it would be a lie if I said that I never felt upset that things came before me, but I didn’t express it.
I wasn’t that immature.
It was because he always wanted to be a caring wife.
“Even though we did that, there were quite a few casualties.”
Inwook smiled bitterly and placed his hand on his glass of water.
“Without you, a city would have collapsed. Don’t worry too much.”
“I’m trying to think like that, baby… I guess I’ll have to stop watching the news.”
I wanted to ventilate the atmosphere because it seemed like a shadow was falling on my face.
“Are you busy eating all of this?”
“No? I don’t have today, but I’m thinking about what to do with the cores I got there.”
It is the core of a level 5 monster.
If Inwook put it on the market, it would certainly be able to be traded for a huge amount.
“Should I dispose of it? Or are you going to use it?”
“That’s vague.”
The heart of a monster.
The things that could be done through the core were limitless.
It was possible to create new weapons by requesting from the workshop, and it was also possible to strengthen existing weapons.
Of course, as a monster with a high level, the magic power it contains also increases.
Level 5 would be more than enough to make a top-notch weapon.
“Yes? Then think about it a little more and call me later.”
“Yes.”
When the steak we ordered came out, we started eating.
After hesitating over and over whether to say it or not, I thought it would be easier to ask for confirmation, so I asked him a question that was embarrassing to ask at a restaurant.
“I… Inuk-ah…”
“Huh? Why?”
He looked at me, wiping the sauce off his lips.
“But there… did you wear it…?”
In-wook tilted his head to see if he could not follow the context of the conversation for a while, and then smiled awkwardly as if he understood what I was saying.
“Ah… that… it looks like she was wearing it…?”
…I was afraid.
