You Promised Me, Mr. Lee San-ha - Chapter 96



Only Noblemtl

Episode 96 Winter`s Waltz (1)

“Hello. Nice to meet you―”

As soon as I turn around, I am speechless.

A face so familiar.

A coworker you meet in the elevator at least once a day.

“… … Sister Junghwa?”

“… … sick?”

Hong Jeong-hwa’s eyes are round like a rabbit’s.

Meanwhile, Maeng So-hyun and Da-hee Han look at each other’s faces alternately.

“Huh?! You two know each other?!”

“Oh, by the way, the company my sister said she works for… … .”

Soon, Hong Jeong-hwa nodded and sat down across from me with a displeased expression on her face for some reason.

Maeng So-hyeon, who was pushed out, sits next to me.

A 2:2 facing composition.

Hong Jeong-hwa spoke to me, linking arms.

“I thought you weren’t interested in women, but maybe that’s not the case?”

“I came out because they said they were going to buy me food, and this is what happened. What about you, sister?”

“Dahee cried and made a fuss on the phone yesterday, so I had no choice but to come out. If she hadn’t, I would’ve never come out.”

Han Da-hee, whose anger suddenly flared, hurriedly answered.

“I’m sorry, Unnie. Sohyun threatened me so much… … .”

On the other hand, Maeng So-hyeon nodded her head with her arms crossed as if she was proud.

She seems to be quite satisfied with this situation.

I sorted out the situation.

“Since we’re all gathered here with people we know, how about we have a meal together?”

“Oh, then is that so? I’m fine─.”

Han Da-hee said with a smile.

But before she could finish speaking, Maeng So-hyun suddenly stood up.

“Oh my! Dahee! We were supposed to go shopping!”

“Huh? When? I don’t really have anything to buy today―.”

“I decided to watch too!”

“It hasn’t even been opened yet―”

Maeng So-hyun said as she pulled Han Da-hee out of the chair.

“Anyway, we have an appointment so we have to go! Have a good time!”

Maeng So-hyeon easily pulled Han Da-hee with just one hand.

Han Da-hee shouted as she was dragged away like a paper doll.

“No, I don’t want to go… … No, Sohyun, let go for a moment! Are you really that strong?! Oppa, I’ll contact you later, so go play with Unnie for a bit and then come home early… … Sob, sob!”

Maeng So-hyeon disappeared, covering Han Da-hee’s mouth with her remaining hand.

Soon, only Hong Jeong-hwa and I were left in the cafe.

Hong Jeong-hwa asked.

“Really? They called you to trick you?”

“yes.”

“Are you saying that you didn’t call me on a blind date?”

“If it was just a blind date, I would have thought about it, but if it’s a blind date where you do something for someone and then receive something in return, I think that’s a bit weird.”

“Hmm… … .”

She crossed her legs with a pouty expression.

‘You went on a blind date and now you’re disappointed because you see a familiar face?’

That’s too bad, Hong Jeong-hwa.

But what can we do now that it has come to this?

I asked as I remembered.

“By the way, were you a model, sister?”

“I’m not a professional model, but I worked as a fitting model at a shopping mall for a while when I was a student, and then I became close with Dahee. Then my hobby turned to photography, and I became acquainted with Sohyun… … But in the end, I ended up doing what I loved the most.”

A peculiar career path that seems to have some kind of connection but doesn’t.

If it were Hong Jeong-hwa, it might have been okay if she continued on the path of modeling.

at that time.

Tiring, tiring, tiring!

The phone rang incessantly.

[Maeng So-hyun: How about a place like this for an indoor date in the winter? ]

[Maeng So-hyun: Winter indoor date spots popular with couples ]

[Maeng So-hyun: ]

[Maeng So-hyun: Find the lowest hotel price! Let’s find a hot deal! ]

[Lee San-ha: What do you keep sending me;;]

[Maeng So-hyun: Fighting!]

The epitome of excessive kindness.

It seems like you have a huge misunderstanding about my relationship with Hong Jeong-hwa.

at that time.

Swish-

Hong Jeong-hwa, who was sitting across from me, leaned forward.

“Even if you didn’t want to come, it’s a little sad to only look at your phone in front of your blind date.”

“Sohyun sent me this.”

Hong Jeong-hwa’s face begins to brighten as she checks out a few links.

“Oh, right! There was an ice rink here, right?”

“I see you like it.”

“Let’s go. I’ll show you a performance that will make you not regret Queen Yuna’s retirement.”

“Huh? No, where are you going? And I don’t know how to skate?”

Hong Jeong-hwa already carrying her bag.

She said with a refreshing smile.

“It’s okay. I couldn’t walk when I was born either.”

It was a strangely difficult logic to refute.

* * *

Jamsil. Charlotte Ice Rink.

It is connected to the upper-level amusement park, ‘Charlotte Land’.

If you purchase an additional ticket, you can use both spaces.

I said while looking at the manual.

“If you buy amusement park tickets, you get an additional discount.”

“That’s fine. I don’t really like it.”

“Oh, that’s unexpected.”

“Surprising? Don’t you think you don’t like cute and lively things just by looking at them?”

“No, I didn’t know you’d be scared of rides. I think you’d be hanging on to the wing of a moving airplane… … No, sorry.”

I closed my mouth at the eye smile that gave me a sense of life.

Hong Jeong-hwa said with a sly smile.

“It’s not that I don’t like rides. It’s just that they seem like a waste of time. Standing in line for an hour and then riding for two or three minutes just feels so inefficient.”

I totally agree.

Besides, today is the weekend.

Since it is winter and outdoor activities are difficult, indoor amusement parks will be extremely crowded.

Hong Jeong-hwa said, stretching her clasped hands upwards.

“And I like to move myself. Whatever it is.”

As expected, she is a sportswoman.

This guy might have become an athlete if he hadn’t become a sports reporter.

Hong Jeong-hwa said while looking at the waiting line.

“It looks like the ice rink is quite crowded today.”

“Isn’t it like this wherever you go at ice rinks these days? But I guess we just have to wait a little longer… … ”

At that moment, a boy came in front of us.

Appears to be around 5th or 6th grade in elementary school.

He’s not so young that he can’t understand.

Hong Jeong-hwa spoke first.

“Hey kids? You have to stand in a straight line, right?”

“… … .”

The child who was bitten does not respond in any way.

He just played with his cell phone as if he hadn’t heard anything.

Hong Jeong-hwa tilted her head slightly and spoke again.

“Aren’t your parents here?”

Only then did the child raise his head.

“Why are you making such a fuss when we first meet? Are you in your right mind?”

“No, I mean, you didn’t come with your family. If you came to look for your parents, I’ll help you find them—”

Just then, the little boy screamed in a fit of rage.

“Mom! Mommyyyyy-!”

The child’s mother came running right away.

… …as if it had been waiting nearby.

“What’s wrong, my son?!”

The child’s mother hugged her son as if he had been shot somewhere.

Before Hong Jeong-hwa could explain the situation, the child shouted first.

“That lady swore at me for being motherless!”

Hong Jeong-hwa’s expression, which had been gentle throughout, turns cold.

On the other hand, the child’s mother’s face turned bright red and she shouted.

“What?! Who are you to say something like that to someone else’s child?”

It’s a situation that’s enough to make you angry.

Nevertheless, Hong Jeong-hwa tried to have a calm conversation.

“I think the child misunderstood. There was a misunderstanding―”

“What kind of misunderstanding is this?! Is this crazy? Seriously?!”

A fake smile appears on Hong Jeong-hwa’s face.

It was the expression usually made by someone whose patience had run out.

“… … I wondered where the child learned his speaking habits. It was from home education.”

“Wh, what?! Is this bitch really crazy? Honey! Honeyoooo-!”

This time she calls her husband again.

It seems like the boss monster has a pattern of summoning summons if you don’t deal with it within the time limit.

yet.

“What’s wrong, honey?”

The boy’s father also came to visit.

What’s next? Maybe they’ll call grandparents?

Soon, the little family stands in the middle of the waiting line and glares at us.

I can definitely tell when I see the same pattern.

‘… … So there really are people who do this kind of thing.’

First, get the child to the front of the queue and then start a fight.

It seems like the parents got involved and started arguing, then they just bought the ticket and went in.

‘I’d rather wait an hour or two than do something so ridiculous. Why on earth?’

It’s so embarrassing that even I, who’s watching it, am embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Hong Jeong-hwa was laughing without being discouraged at all.

“If there’s anyone you want to call, call them all at once. If they come one by one, you’ll have to repeat the same thing.”

“What the!? Who are you to pick a fight with my child and wife? What the!?”

“What is it? You guys are the ones whose entrance was delayed because of the brat you raised without any manners.”

“Is this crazy! Some girl walks around wearing only leggings like a bar girl―”

“Do girls at bars wear leggings these days? You know that well? Oh, do you go there often? Yeah, you seem to really like that kind of place.”

The man appears speechless at the unexpected counterattack.

“T, t, f*ck… … !”

Do people swear when they have nothing to say?

Hong Jeong-hwa’s expression changes to a gloomy one.

“What? The fuck? Did you just swear? Are you going to make me feel like shit in front of the kid today?”

At that moment, both the man and the woman take half a step back.

This is because the murderous intent that Hong Jeong-hwa exuded was unusual.

At that moment, the nearby employees started to intervene one by one.

“Customer… … Please calm down first… … .”

“Come out and… … .”

Hong Jeong-hwa cut it off perfectly.

“We were here in line from the beginning. Those people came in by cutting in and started a commotion, so just get them out. You can check the CCTV.”

“Lies! We were standing in line too! This woman cut in!”

But the Saechi family keeps lying and confusing the employees.

at that time.

“Just a moment.”

I approached the family of swindlers and said.

“Let me ask you one thing.”

“What are you?!”

The family of thieves glares at me.

Is it because he looks relatively more easygoing compared to Hong Jeong-hwa?

The voice also strangely became louder.

I appeased them.

“I’m watching from behind, so I think there’s some kind of misunderstanding. You came here just to return to your original position. You didn’t intend to cut in, did you?”

“Oh, of course! Why should we be pickpockets? Pickpockets should just stand there all day, unable to move, waiting! We’re not that kind of people!”

“aha.”

There’s only one person left to enter.

It seems that even this shameless family would be remiss in missing this opportunity they have worked so hard to create.

I checked again.

“So those pickpockets have to stand there all day and not be able to move, right?”

“Oh, that’s right!”

The three members of the Saechi family nodded.

Three promises are made at the same time.

Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!

Things became easier because they kept spouting empty words.

‘Hello, Saechigi family.’

It wasn’t fun being together, so let’s never see each other again.
