Side Story 42. At Least in This Moment, They Were Not Alone (2) The plan to put her off by being an absolute nuisance wasn't very effective. She was a woman so devoid of emotional fluctuations that it was hard to tell if she was a person or a block of ice, so what could he do?
So, Jin Cheon decided to stop this meaningless act.
However…
“For today’s drink, I’d like the Gold Noble Green.”
Separately from that, Jin Cheon was not one to refuse an opportunity to drink on someone else’s dime. And even without intentionally acting like a nuisance, this man was a natural-born pain.
However…
“Here you are.”
This time, the situation was a little different. When Jin Cheon whined for a drink, the one who responded was not the cold beauty, but a gruff-looking man. The man who appeared with a liquor table held in both hands, as if he had expected it, was…
“…Who are you?”
He was an unknown person. Where had the peerless beauty, Murong Ji-hye, gone, and why was this gruff man here? Jin Cheon first asked for his identity.
In response, the man said…
“You do not recognize me?”
“I believe this is our first meeting…”
It was awkward. But he also felt like he had seen this man, who was looking at him with displeasure, somewhere before. As he thought hard about where he might have seen him…
“Ah!”
It seemed he remembered.
“Sang-cheol?”
Wrong.
