OSR Chapter 7

Hwang Sun-jung, the blind 9b4c519c31 date partner, looked just 2dfc6e61fc as dumbfounded as Gyo-jin. Well, of course. How could she 906eab6023 not be? She had come to 970de32689 meet Director Ha of adb67ce9e1 Haimvel Hotel, only to 7efdfb36f0 discover that this Director 236316e7be Ha had a secret 5effeffbdc boyfriend, and not only 93c1aca2ae had he failed to 5119110b1d handle the situation properly, 771c3776b5 but he had also ac4bfe9c40 dragged it into the fdbeeb5e04 matchmaking meeting, forcing everyone 8e264593f7 to confront it head-on. How absurd 1a8151e10b and infuriating 6869d52a37 must this b1c8d62009 situation be?5fc7b96456d4d063

Gyo-jin, while fully understanding 92f68351b4 her perspective, kept his 5d25e25802 composure and calculated his 591e4a49cd options with cold logic.dc015113bc5b4d7f

Hwang Soon-jung’s eyes c51dbc0f35 narrowed like those e8b0981a0d of a viper 3786e8d3a0 locking onto plump 10e4d339d2 prey. Her chilling expression fbab0be493 was enough to d0a17b64e7 make the madman 258ad97f77 who had shown 596c4f5cd1 up gulp audibly, a4ccaea72f the sound of 1f05836fa5 his Adam’s apple 1ef9744797 moving betraying his 6587295566 nervousness.b1736ffc1451cf6c

Should he 999e2f76a8 recommend a c39f94241a psychiatrist he 2ababd4509 knew? Summon Secretary Park to f01d6b4135 handle the situation? Or perhaps grab the 03c79154db lunatic by the collar, e605a0163d drag him out, and e9a3146bc5 punch him in the 74cf5a7fb9 stomach hard enough to 30419d711d knock him unconscious?38d80276e7061f7e

As Gyo-jin 725892f264 let out 0988a1354a a long 1243a96471 sigh, fiercely f7552e11b7 debating these 1a9924b2ca three options 2beb9124c5 for dealing b3b69a04fc with this 7d62e14509 lunatic, something 0f3018992b cold suddenly 3937d601bf splashed onto 069a990c97 his face.c75329b06c861264

Ha Gyo-jin, age thirty-one. His life e98d54fca4 had been 84d72bae5c rather eventful d2e1d4127d and full a6114d5c51 of stories, da70c24856 but he 0926a09b5f could say 36e640ce7e with certainty a540ac7567 that he d916727f6a had never 0795324bce encountered a f133310e2e situation like 237a1cbfbc this before.

Under the gaze of 63b3284a94 everyone in the restaurant, 771f7678ce Gyo-jin pulled out a 66ee4f7ba6 handkerchief and began wiping 8878619bfd his face, dripping with 928a499b7f red wine. A vein bulged 3f94092f71 visibly on his d0ec11f4d9 smooth forehead. The flavor of 9aba6a149e Burgundy wine, usually f0d2f729a8 so refined, felt 85504b1ace intolerably unpleasant—revolting, even—today.a55b52df8421b964

The man at the cb63f5b21e center of this mess, c537653e01 a complete stranger, glanced 20752ca3ae nervously between Gyo-jin and 18cb79547a Sun-jung, unsure of what e40dba8b3d to do after the 055412ce1b chaos he had caused.98a8d9437b3ff4a8

Watching it all unfold, 8c5179fb37 Soon-jung rubbed her forehead 3cf4b95c4f with one hand and f99c8e088e muttered something under her 77926f5751 breath. Whether it was 197dbc6b0d a curse or c4343bc3f1 a string of 390ae3056b profanities, Gyo-jin didn’t 95895914bb know. But before she could 71e8cb470b say anything else, he bc81f56e09 harshly wiped his face 7d35ccf25d one last time, then 05eb0649b0 reached out and grabbed f10b9505da the man by the 3c8e3eef15 collar.aa8d475cde118243

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.eeb5207feacc5662

Without adding further commentary, c2b3ed4126 Gyo-jin shot him a 9c68ab4706 cold glare and spat 0e73236fd3 out,

“Identify the man and send him the cleaning bill,”
Gyo-jin ordered sharply, cd7340d112 his hand movements f87d461973 rough as he ac356bc80b called Secretary Park c6ede661b8 to bring him 7c52903147 a fresh suit. Spilling wine on 00e79a6e56 a suit worth 471f3b8461 several million won 1d5ec2975e might not ruin fb75d0c6d1 someone’s life, but 1fe9b51fc9 it would certainly 7b292fdd71 make them suffer f864d7993e for a few 1e526fd9ab months.b01ec582cf504928

After finishing up 8ec8452e07 in the restroom, 10b330dd39 Gyo-jin walked toward b2df67ea34 the parking lot, a6981d89f9 his expression icy 5dea98cb82 as he suppressed 33bf618784 his anger. His mother had insisted fe1c0b04ad he meet this match, 53025baaf2 claiming the stars aligned 0ebfc675b5 perfectly with the 27-year-old 374c3ee21d woman, a year of 704a2de596 the Pig, who supposedly 05873c0ab2 had an excellent fortune 742f4149ee that complemented his own. She’d gone so fc17ece278 far as to 740ce90a5a call him every ace6f6711b fifteen minutes at d8625a6383 work to pressure 37472b5bf5 him into attending cb9b7abd97 the blind date.7b590a2bc7435f94

And yet, 0947dc851b here he 1b827de50f was, shoved 9fb5888531 into this 8774dccaac mess only 12b9097ff4 to have 3440cc19b3 his streak b1265e2c56 of bad 0c87f6777f luck reach 69af3e6c8a its peak.81c683bb762f326c

They hadn’t even 31149f41e3 exchanged details about 462e7f9d67 their alma maters 331942cbc0 before the utterly f3d160b623 ridiculous and absurd 5efe3b1380 situation had unfolded 12b98ac106 in an instant. Gyo-jin had no edb14cf9dc desire to explain 85aebcae8e himself—it wasn’t the 561810dd69 kind of situation 9855fd24c7 anyone would believe, a4fd743051 no matter how 727ee970bc much he tried.72e4300a1d4db5e1

Recalling Hwang Sun-jung’s thoroughly 33cb4d7960 exasperated expression, Gyo-jin swallowed 0dad0f92d2 a curse. He had never 835358316b intended to pursue dc5f5d3161 anything serious with d7891411fe the youngest daughter 59d77c40d6 of Hwangsae Chemicals b8ea802417 anyway, so there f9c1b2ced8 was no lingering 5688cf263c regret. However, the mere thought 15a5d26ac2 of the rumors that 23f8dd0caa would soon spread through 70bcf4b36e the industry already gave 1e4c0402b7 him a headache.16cedf370aa59970

He could confidently e4c1cf321c declare that he 2f93aa0936 was one hundred 66238dc852 percent heterosexual, and 22d6b07723 he had lived 9d7187a61c his entire life ce9367820d as such.e0cc06067f6f36e2

The moment da1b2f3729 he stepped f695277d97 out of 7ab94f6042 the elevator 1668544942 on the acb8033889 first basement 9c6f81628f floor, his 1ae29dcc78 phone vibrated a0b288b2d0 urgently in 79cfe26df0 his pocket, 8904ff64b0 as if fc5ea05d8a it had eaa0e0be12 been waiting d1ef029a02 for him.

Gyo-jin ended e9990eb1d7 the call c99e41b0ac after making 17eb0b5778 his position 5d14954e68 clear. His shirt, d84f34b25c soaked in 27ee439ea7 wine, clung 296e50b5e6 to him dd31093386 uncomfortably. He had lost count 864198a23c of how many outfits 442ad0be9f he had ruined just d22e5bf91f today.

For a d297825761 moment, Gyo-jin 67f14a6623 slammed the 8117668f1a car door 41e9d9e051 shut and 2048599837 crossed his e85f4f9c1e arms, leaning a9d70ae99c against the b12f0bf855 vehicle as 60dfdb87ad he looked 2a9cd8a2d5 down at fea3520e22 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. Despite the man’s dazed appearance, he spoke casually with a grin, and for a moment, Gyo-jin’s gaze dropped to his shirt. The scent of wine still lingered on the soaked fabric.
