#Episode 22

Where could the information have leaked from?

Kang Hyeok definitely wouldn’t have said anything first, but in less than a day, the fact that she had gotten a ride in Kang Hyeok’s car was exposed.

And on top of that, going to the W Hotel.

Da-som shook her head and got up from the bed, starting to throw off her clothes.

She didn’t know where they were drinking, but she needed to quickly wash up before they came barging in.

***

Ding dong, ding dong.

The doorbell rang.

Da-som, who had just finished showering, checked Eun Hyeok’s face on the monitor.

Seeing him pressing his face close to the screen, apparently drunk, made her sigh first.

Click.

When she opened the door, Han Byeol and Eun Hyeok came tumbling in.

“Ugh, the smell of alcohol.”

When Da-som covered her nose and frowned, Han Byeol waved her hands as if to say it wasn’t her.

“Only Eun Hyeok drank. I quit drinking.”

“I’ll believe you.”

“It’s really true! Smell me. It’s true.”

Han Byeol insisted on breathing on Da-som’s face to prove it.

“Ugh, when are you two going to grow up?”

“Look who’s talking!”

Eun Hyeok settled himself in the middle of the living room and glared at Da-som. Since he was about to openly talk about what happened with Kang Hyeok, her stomach was already starting to churn.

“There’s nothing in the house. Just water. And only one bottle at that.”

She opened the refrigerator door and showed them the water bottle.

“We don’t need it, so come sit down. Start confessing why you went to the W Hotel with That Person.”

Han Byeol also nodded and sat down next to Eun Hyeok.

Looking at those two pairs of eyes full of curiosity and hostility, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.

“I told you to come here, why are you just standing there?”

Eun Hyeok urged Da-som on. Why was his voice so loud too?

“W-wait a minute. But how did you two find out? Don’t tell me you followed me?”

Then Eun Hyeok and Han Byeol visibly wavered.

“So it’s true then. Don’t you have anything better to do?”

“We did it because we were worried about you. We thought maybe That Person was threatening you or something. We wouldn’t have done it for no reason, would we?”

Look at this.

He thinks I’m a pushover.

Eun Hyeok, who couldn’t even make a peep in the emergency room, was trying to completely devour her.

“Da-som. Are you going to keep standing there in front of the refrigerator?”

Han Byeol raised her already narrow eyes even higher and glared at Da-som.

“Well, what happened was…”

She hesitantly went to the living room and sat down.

Then she spilled everything that had happened from when she went on the substitute blind date until today, without leaving out a single detail.

“…That’s everything.”

After finishing her story, a quiet silence fell.

Since they were all smarter than her, they would have understood everything without her having to say it twice.

So this silence probably meant bewilderment.

She was holding her breath while tracing the patterns on the floor with her index finger when Eun Hyeok suddenly started looking for his phone.

“Han Byeol, did you see my phone?”

“You put it in your jacket pocket.”

“Oh, right.”

Eun Hyeok jumped up from his seat and got his phone. Worried that he might be calling Kang Hyeok, Da-som tried to snatch Eun Hyeok’s phone away.

“No, I’m not calling That Person.”

He stretched out one arm to keep Da-som from approaching while searching through his phone numbers.

“Who are you trying to call?”

“The real estate agent. I can’t live under the same roof as That Person. I guess I’ll have to move here.”

Han Byeol smacked Eun Hyeok on the back.

“Get a grip. What are you talking about after paying the full balance?”

It seemed Eun Hyeok also didn’t know that Kang Hyeok lived here.

Eun Hyeok, who had been tearing at his hair and shouting, suddenly stopped as if something had occurred to him and looked at Da-som.

“Oh no, cotton ball, you’re in big trouble. If my mom finds out…”

“That’s what I’m saying. But the professor said he’d handle it well.”

“No, you don’t know anything about how this blind date came about.”

Doubt appeared in Da-som’s eyes. She didn’t know the deep details beyond just going as a substitute.

“I knew this would happen.”

Unbelievable words poured out of Eun Hyeok’s mouth.

Among the descendants of the Tae Family who had particularly strong yang energy, Kang Hyeok’s yang energy was at a level that ordinary women couldn’t handle, so they carefully selected a woman who could match that yang energy, and that was her sister Jeong So-yeon.

Not knowing this, she had fearlessly gone on the substitute blind date.

“Hey, where does that kind of thing exist in today’s world? You’re just trying to tease Da-som, right?”

Han Byeol also seemed to find it hard to believe and dismissed Eun Hyeok’s words as a joke.

“Why else would my mom have gone to see a fortune teller? Do you think that yang energy is ordinary? They said most women can’t handle it and just collapse.”

“Still, that’s a bit…”

“Mom’s going to go crazy, what is that guy thinking?”

Goh Ah-reum.

She was someone who loved her youngest son Eun Hyeok so much it wouldn’t hurt to put him in her eyes.

Whenever she happened to run into Da-som at the hospital, she would treat her like her own daughter just because she was Eun Hyeok’s friend, even giving her pocket money.

When her thoughts reached that point, Da-som became rapidly depressed.

Wasn’t there some other way? She should think about it.

Da-som knocked herself on the head.

Should she have firmly refused right there on the spot? Was the problem that she was tempted by Kang Hyeok’s words about buying some time?

“Are you crazy? Why are you hitting your already bad head?”

“I didn’t even know that. Sigh…”

Why didn’t she think at all about the fact that Goh Ah-reum was the one who gave birth to Kang Hyeok?

No matter how much Goh Ah-reum looked favorably upon her, this wasn’t something she could guarantee, was it?

“You’re one thing, but the professor has quite unique tastes too.”

“…What?”

“I mean, think about it. Even just at EM, there are so many people like Dr. Jeon Su-ji and pretty nurses. Leaving all those women aside and choosing you. It’s strange, isn’t it?”

“Eun Hyeok, take Han Byeol away.”

“I’ll handle that myself, so stop worrying about it and worry about yourself first. They said if you get involved with That Person, you won’t live out your natural lifespan. His face is nice, but shouldn’t a person live first?”

Da-som, who had never had her fortune told in her life, was just bewildered.

“He just said let’s get to know each other closely. We’re not the kind of relationship that looks that far ahead. He said he didn’t want to go on blind dates and was trying to buy some time.”

“What? Buy some time? You don’t know how cunning That Person is. If he doesn’t like someone, he won’t even look at them. Do you know how many women have cried in front of his gate? Would that cold-blooded person have taken you to a hotel to buy you food and drinks for no reason?”

“Is, is that so?”

“It’s not like I have time to spare or nothing to do. What crazy person would do this if they didn’t like someone?”

Since Da-som had heard it directly from Kang Hyeok, she couldn’t say anything else and closed her mouth.

“Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for that guy’s charms?”

“…Well, he is handsome.”

“Who’s going to stop this face-obsessed girl?”

Eun Hyeok got up as if he had given up.

“Anyway, cotton ball, if anything happens, contact me first. No matter what happens, I’m on your side.”

“Yeah, I know, why wouldn’t I know that?”

“Ugh, really.”

“Oh, then does that mean Da-som becomes Eun Hyeok’s sister-in-law? She’d become the professor’s wife?”

Han Byeol was getting way ahead of herself.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Well, we’ll see about that. Anyway, we’re leaving.”

Han Byeol also got up from her seat following Eun Hyeok.

“See you tomorrow.”

After Da-som saw them off to the entrance, she came back and threw herself onto the bed.

What a long day it had been. She looked at the clock approaching midnight and closed her eyes.

Ah, my stomach’s completely empty now.

Da-som lay face down on the bed, blinking as she recalled what had happened with Kang Hyeok.

“I’d like us to meet seriously from now on. What do you think?”

At the blind date venue too.

“I wanted to see you, and here we meet like this?”

At the orientation too.

“The seat next to me has no owner. You’re the first.”

In the morning parking lot too.

She was certain that whether he was a substitute or not, Kang Hyeok was accepting Da-som as his blind date woman.

And tonight, Kang Hyeok had acted like someone who was completely determined.

“Since we held hands today, should we kiss tomorrow?”

On top of that, he was blatantly crazy.

“Then should we get a room the day after tomorrow?”

So I’m the type who becomes bold when attracted to someone…

She was definitely crazy.

Da-som pounded the pillow by herself before burying her face in it.

Her face grew hot from the suggestive conversation that had passed between them.

Is something like that even possible?
