‘I guess the reason he let me into the house was to listen to the story first.’

The excitement of anticipation subsided quickly. It was a matter of course. If someone suddenly apologized for bothering him to the point of boredom, I would doubt them as well.

“There is no other purpose. I just came to apologize. You’re recording, too. If I break my promise, I’ll lose all my property, so why would I lie?”

Once I found my calmness again and said it, Seo Eun-soo looked at me with a look of distrust.

“I don’t think I’m meant to hear that from someone who tried to kidnap me. Wouldn’t it be easier to steal a cell phone than a person?”

‘Oh dear…’

Seo Eun-soo’s firm attitude with his arms folded was full of distrust. I understood. After all, I resent the real Sung Chan-young as well.

‘Damn you, Seong Chan-young. No wonder your secretary asked if I was going to commit a crime when I called him.’

As an honest small citizen, I could never understand Seong Chan-young. Seong Chan-young must have been so bad that the kind Seo Eun-soo would take off the crane [1] like this. Sigh

“You haven’t opened the envelope in the flower basket, have you?”

Seo Eun-soo nodded when I pointed to the colorful and fresh flower basket pushed into that corner. And he asked me with a creepy face.

“Yes, I haven’t opened it yet. And…… stop using honorifics. It’s scary to hear those from Seong Chan-young.”

As expected, was it too much to use honorifics, unlike Seong Chan-young? I thought this was more appropriate for the apologist’s attitude.

“Well…… I see. Then I’ll speak informally again. Instead, you can talk to me casually. We’re the same age.”

In the original work, Seong Chan-young and Seo Eun-soo were the same age, and when they were young, they were also in the same class at the same school. 

That’s why I said it, but it was also rejected.

“Just continue using the honorifics. Since that’s how Seong Chan-young and I used to talk in the beginning.

“……Do as you please, then.”

Seo Eun-soo was constantly wary of me, like a cat with straight fur. It was an attitude of concern that if you let go of the word to me, you would be caught as a useless snitch later.

‘It’s a bit sad.’

Here, Seong Chan-young was not welcomed by anyone. It was self-fulfilling to go around doing bad things every day, but when the object became me, it was lonely and sad.

‘Let’s go farming now. I’m going to live there alone!’

Strengthening my determination to return to farming, I once again made Seo Eun-soo point to the flower basket and open the letter envelope in it.

“There, I wrote a memorandum on the flower basket that I won’t be around you in the future.”

“……that’s true.”

“I also got a notarization through a lawyer to ensure the legal effect. You don’t have to worry about me breaking.”

Before coming to meet Seo Eun-soo, a person was saved as a lawyer in parentheses when I searched the list of people stored in contacts. 

When I called him up and asked him to give me a notarization of the memorandum, the matter quickly went away.

‘Make sure to hit the last wedge.’

I even handed the reporter’s business card so that Seo Eun-soo could be completely relieved.

“What’s this?”

“If I break my promise, then take the memorandum and contact this reporter. I’m a reliable person, so I can help you without ignoring you.”

The reporter whose card was handed over was a person who vividly captured the fall of Seong Eun Group when Seong Chan-young’s family was ruined by angry Gongs in the original work. 

In particular, he was a person who revealed the true face of villainous Seong Chan-young in an article, so I thought he would listen to Seo Eun-soo’s report.

“If I’m not crazy, I won’t approach Seo Eun-soo anymore.”

So all of this was just a stepping stone for Seo Eun-soo to trust me and accept my apology.

“…….”

Seo Eun-soo lost his words and remained silent for a while. I noticed Seo Eun-soo shaking his head again and handed over the apology.

“I’m sorry.”

“What?”

“Seo Eun-soo, I’m sorry for everything I did to you. I apologize.”

I’m terribly sorry.

Seo Eun-soo raised his hand in embarrassment when I bowed my head as if I were bowing and apologizing again. He looked very confused.

“I don’t know what kind of change of mind has happened……. And it’s still hard to believe Seong Chan-young ssi, but it’s good. Now that it’s come out like this, I’ll accept that apology.”

“Well, really?”

For a moment, there seemed to be a halo behind Seo Eun-soo’s back. As expected, our kind main Shou has a big heart like the sea. Thank you, thank you!

“I don’t feel like you’re lying, and it seems like you’re sincerely apologizing……. But in case you break your promise, I brought you a way to deal with it.”

I think the last one gave the most important trust, but I didn’t care. I was just moved that Seo Eun-soo accepted my apology.

‘Once I block the Gongs, everything will be fine!’

Oh yeah. [2] Just imagining it makes my shoulders dance. I barely pressed the corner of my mouth, which was about to rise up with excitement, and said it happily.

“Of course. If I show up in front of you in the future, you may sue me right away.”

“I don’t have the money to do that.”

Seo Eun-soo seemed to answer with a frowning forehead and say, “Oh, my.” 

His pride must have been hurt.

“……Of course, if you break your promise, I will avenge you somehow.”

For a moment, there was a chill on the angelic face. That alone gave me goosebumps.

I’m a law-abiding citizen.

There was zero possibility that it would not happen anyway, so I could promise as much as I wanted. After this day, I will never meet Seo Eun-soo except when Seo Eun-soo comes to meet me.

‘But how could such a ridiculous thing happen?’

So I had nothing to lose. Seo Eun-soo looked at me, who was willing to speak, with a rather strange look and gave a congratulatory order to see if he had given up understanding.

“If you’re done with your business, you may leave.”

“All right.”

For you, meeting Seong Chan-yeong was dirty, and he must be the person you want to never meet again. I put on shoes right away as it was uncomfortable to see Seo Eun-soo anymore.

“Oh, the compensation is also in the envelope, so make sure to get it. You can’t get a refund, so use it wherever you want to use it!”

“Wait, I don’t want to get this kind of money……”

“Don’t you know it’s cheap if you take what you already gave me? I promised I wouldn’t see you again, so take care of it!”

Seo Eun-soo refused to return the compensation by chasing me.

Fortunately, the elevator went down before Seo Eun-soo could follow me. I decided to move a little far away to call a taxi so that Seo Eun-soo wouldn’t chase me.

“Ha, ha. If you come this far, you can’t follow me, can you?”

I ran to escape, but I felt refreshed when I ran as hard as I could after a long time. Seong Chan-young’s body was healthier and more convenient than I thought.

‘I couldn't run like this because my family was worried about me.’ [3]

He must have solved what he was worried about with Seo Eun-soo. Somehow, expectations rose that everything would work out. I was happily calling a taxi to go home, but there was a shadow over my head.

I thought it was a passerby, but as soon as I tried to press the taxi call button, my wrist was caught and I had to face the angry man.

“It hurts!”

The grip was so strong that I thought I would get a bruise soon. I was about to scream at the scoundrel, frowning.

“What are you doing……”

“What did you come to do to Seo Eun-soo again? Seong Chan-young?”

I’m glad I didn’t say, “Who are you, you lunatic?” If an incredibly handsome and rude man already knew Seong Chan-young, and wanted to mock me with an angry alpha pheromone, about Seo Eun-soo, there is only one answer.

‘He’s one of the original Gongs!’

Tiredness rushed in. Where do I start persuading him? If I knew this would happen, I would’ve brought more memorandum to give to the Gong  grabbing my arms!

‘By the way, what kind of Gong is this man?’

The guy who grabbed my wrist and growled was a typical cold-looking guy with dark black hair and a sharp look. With a three-piece suit, he was tall and considerable in size, so it was quite a daunting impression.

“Answer me, Seong Chan-young. What else did Seo Eun-soo have to do?”

I’m here to apologize, dude. But I don’t want to open my mouth when you talk so threateningly.

The rudeness of the Gong awakened the Confucian man inside me. No matter how much Seong Chan-young is trash, what are you doing holding someone up?

‘It’s exactly the style of the director in the drama… Who was it, again?’
