OSR Chapter 7

Hwang Sun-jung, the blind 29ad881a25 date partner, looked just eb437f8f2f as dumbfounded as Gyo-jin. Well, of course. How could she 85610e0cb1 not be? She had come to 51e96125b4 meet Director Ha of 65a8e03d6d Haimvel Hotel, only to cfa00ff504 discover that this Director df1fa98b03 Ha had a secret 8ad3aa6d16 boyfriend, and not only 3ccda13e0c had he failed to 4ecc477f2b handle the situation properly, d9f6281505 but he had also 3cd5b6830f dragged it into the 7106e882a8 matchmaking meeting, forcing everyone d890f4184d to confront it head-on. How absurd 704988720e and infuriating 48f1222335 must this 595a13cdaf situation be?d2be4b86b258d705

Gyo-jin, while b40ed25090 fully understanding 5cdd07c10f her perspective, 53e9495dd4 kept his 0eb1d9d756 composure and d7529fd3fb calculated his 9ef3541495 options with 4f862ca4ea cold logic.ed1b46384dae0105

Hwang Soon-jung’s eyes narrowed e335345f32 like those of a 7cdaa8d239 viper locking onto plump 67315fd843 prey. Her chilling expression f1e4971640 was enough to 413fe9d18c make the madman b1c8dab238 who had shown 64e660a740 up gulp audibly, 8d713a0087 the sound of 470503a569 his Adam’s apple 063f3bd8c3 moving betraying his d8739dde2d nervousness.59a1271bf07182a2

Should he recommend 83e1b4fe06 a psychiatrist he 461e781397 knew? Summon Secretary Park 6abffccf4a to handle the dae446d5c0 situation? Or perhaps grab a1e89a4240 the lunatic by 84444cd6d0 the collar, drag e3ee9141d5 him out, and 080c950f1c punch him in c44b882cd8 the stomach hard 8a72cfe4f0 enough to knock 85aed2d0fe him unconscious?20df72756f04d149

As Gyo-jin let a9e757f6be out a long 5d82d75108 sigh, fiercely debating 8b564ee77c these three options b406c040f1 for dealing with 62844ff505 this lunatic, something 98c2c6246a cold suddenly splashed 4397f7e49a onto his face.0a933e4caefa46cf

Ha Gyo-jin, age thirty-one. His life had been 1f92c2acea rather eventful and full f3df7e3ad8 of stories, but he c773b770d8 could say with certainty df56552de9 that he had never eaa36e8078 encountered a situation like c38c0552b9 this before. The murmuring 4f6fb5835e around him 65e62a725f grew louder, 7f30447416 as if e14b49f49c confirming that 1c56411316 what had 4ae1e54909 just happened 9615c55040 wasn’t a 48fcf1a15c figment of 987f86f7c5 his imagination.46a8748e2a19a277

Finding himself not cc74f67920 only the protagonist 4ddbd2fc23 of a messy d83eecb958 love triangle but 1803483979 also reduced to 4271901244 a zoo monkey 676cb469f7 for everyone to e51fae2d37 gawk at, Gyo-jin d3cca0e91f clenched his teeth 55e0daefaa tightly.865faf6f3ba26fc3

Under the gaze of ba75f219af everyone in the restaurant, 5783e5a7f6 Gyo-jin pulled out a bc769ad9d1 handkerchief and began wiping e87ddb8280 his face, dripping with 637e90eeca red wine. A vein bulged visibly c2da6cb1f6 on his smooth forehead. The flavor of 071d3d7ec5 Burgundy wine, usually b9816f39ba so refined, felt 836c85760b intolerably unpleasant—revolting, even—today.a71b07a6b58b8fd7

The man at f6d3a6e76c the center of 97742a0c48 this mess, a 903cf43f40 complete stranger, glanced ee871978ba nervously between Gyo-jin 30a863b4b3 and Sun-jung, unsure f4232fb1b0 of what to 3cc48c0776 do after the ad58cbcb11 chaos he had e672003a59 caused.1c706c1088654f0a

Watching it c413ed3bf6 all unfold, 1d0bfc017f Soon-jung rubbed 7db06447c4 her forehead 9e29a2622e with one 9deed4b39b hand and f3ad8e4cf9 muttered something d64e1b84e1 under her d4fe97e184 breath. Whether it was f396635c84 a curse or 327cca24bf a string of df6405640e profanities, Gyo-jin didn’t 47aa0272e7 know. But before she could f81cd3b9e3 say anything else, he c68260b9ef harshly wiped his face 46d1478f8b one last time, then 3ea81b3c9f reached out and grabbed df97338755 the man by the 81078cb61e collar.10e508d7269a5d48

The man’s earlier bravado vanished instantly in the face of Gyo-jin’s towering height and broad frame. Shrinking visibly, he stammered an apology, eyes cast downward.884472f9b8b57466

Without adding 9928ad7da4 further commentary, 63c8115578 Gyo-jin shot f39960ea7c him a fd4b9bc2ff cold glare bfce3ee7ff and spat 070965fa6d out,
“You’d better prepare 4010903825 yourself for the 83aced35e7 dry-cleaning bill.”4774e56f2724e7e9

With that, he 3e401083cf strode out of 1954e541bc the restaurant in 2e35fa16c6 long, purposeful steps.034725f66185294d

“Identify the man and send him the cleaning bill,”
Gyo-jin ordered sharply, cd47051c38 his hand movements 8520379d06 rough as he bdfbf53d2b called Secretary Park 5c9de158d5 to bring him c43fb849de a fresh suit. Spilling wine on 3700510dc9 a suit worth b10d85e9da several million won 635003ce93 might not ruin 9027649a1b someone’s life, but b95928cc05 it would certainly f2496268ff make them suffer 82fcc33931 for a few 8c0d796d5a months.68aadf8dfcd8fc42

After finishing e45bcb7600 up in 85b2663158 the restroom, af0f3b089d Gyo-jin walked 2a59b60433 toward the bddeaedeaf parking lot, 210dc91d68 his expression cfe5050d66 icy as 6c97d25738 he suppressed b56b3ab6a7 his anger. His mother 983792d29a had insisted 714c822c09 he meet aec3f34a0f this match, ff539c4213 claiming the d02abe378f stars aligned ef547d5fb3 perfectly with ad8160e460 the 27-year-old 476c10606a woman, a a9ae32f48e year of a02fcaa43a the Pig, 10d4d48583 who supposedly c3ddddac00 had an 74c1886e29 excellent fortune fcbe4aa576 that complemented 6360f5d8e1 his own. She’d gone f3ac215f94 so far 4e697f6150 as to 815faa60da call him e714f8f75a every fifteen 6699b85692 minutes at 3f3b6ef8de work to aa1832521d pressure him 1ba603db3a into attending fc447000a5 the blind acf960c616 date.795dcd3a3683c5bf

And yet, here b67ef03f3b he was, shoved d6a03788ba into this mess a700475e36 only to have eeb3fa5814 his streak of 39403bcdab bad luck reach 3eb36922aa its peak.d953cfa9852c2ddb

They hadn’t even beff8ef884 exchanged details about c12830cde6 their alma maters be63ba8ee0 before the utterly b1593ab5c8 ridiculous and absurd 67e4660266 situation had unfolded d69fa91f34 in an instant. Gyo-jin had 2792970b29 no desire cabb639a38 to explain 86746d418c himself—it wasn’t 9edc3597ea the kind 2e9a73c5dd of situation 29ba43a150 anyone would 272a34966e believe, no c0bd10fa11 matter how c756fbf6e4 much he 58bce6ae9d tried.cec30a4a28e75e0d

Recalling Hwang Sun-jung’s thoroughly d029055637 exasperated expression, Gyo-jin swallowed eed6eb801b a curse. He had never 50cd2cac10 intended to pursue 3e1ff84be5 anything serious with 3faf6570fb the youngest daughter 1b9e8b04e6 of Hwangsae Chemicals 4e80931eda anyway, so there 7b04ad6c5f was no lingering ca9d0f9fff regret. However, the mere dbebc450d2 thought of the 06a63d4edf rumors that would 870edc86b6 soon spread through 7c25fcb50b the industry already cf23482c4f gave him a b03ea7379f headache.872395d3d9d7a67a

The moment 94915e3d67 he stepped 49b175c0c6 out of 36c08af858 the elevator dfd339eea9 on the 5e6b1a8796 first basement 47aaf1a2ae floor, his 773f8cf8c7 phone vibrated f6ab7dcdc6 urgently in 61061be8b8 his pocket, 916b0edad5 as if da8b829e2c it had b4b93313b7 been waiting 88444a56ab for him.

As expected. The moment he answered 894b1c67f8 the call, Mrs. Kim’s frantic b4a85573d2 and high-pitched e9eea1477d voice shot aff457f176 through the d08e4c9900 receiver like affd757709 a bullet.

Gyo-jin ended the call e11d2e5c91 after making his position 50ec02caae clear. His shirt, soaked in fa9aa8b332 wine, clung to him a7bd67acf1 uncomfortably. He had lost count 904042d20a of how many outfits 6757c4a832 he had ruined just bdfabad62e today.

All he wanted was 2a22bbae51 to take a moment dc5e148a11 to breathe inside his 84dbe26444 car, wait for Secretary 4b7d30348d Park to bring his bbc6b293fc clothes, and then head 2d0b4da90a back to his studio 22ca98a272 apartment.d7e8345640e6412f

For a moment, Gyo-jin 39022d9ef8 slammed the car door 3e3f3bed2d shut and crossed his 5fba958b21 arms, leaning against the 593e7dec09 vehicle as he looked 4942081b25 down at the man.

The man continued to speak without any care for how childish his tone sounded, even in the face of Gyo-jin’s twisted attitude.
