by fnovelpiaThe day of the company dinner arrived in an instant.
The time is already past 6 o’clock.
After those who are unable to attend due to personal reasons leave work first.
I glanced around to see the rest of the people each preparing in their own way.
Someone is leisurely picking up their luggage.
Someone is calling someone they think is their lover.
Someone is glaring at me with eyes like lightning.
“Why have you been looking at me like that all this time… … .”
“Ms. Yuri. Are you sure you’re coming today?”
After Kyungtae heard that Ruina was participating.
He continued to have eyes that were filled with a mixture of anger, jealousy, and other emotions.
“That’s right. But why do you have such eyes?”
“Don’t you know better? Huh? Traitor?”
“Traitor… … .”
I was really looking forward to Ruina’s arrival.
Are you saying that you can’t stand seeing Ruina stuck with me again?
I used to think that I only knew what a woman felt, but I also have no idea what a jealous man feels.
“Okay, shall we start then?”
At the manager’s one word, everyone stood up from their seats without saying a word.
The words of a 5th grade civil servant are absolute, at least here.
[Where are we now? We’re already well on our way.]
While everyone was heading to the company dinner in a large group.
I sent my thoughts to Ruina.
And let’s just sit there blankly for a moment.
[Yeah. Right here right now… Wait a minute… … … … . We’ll be there soon!]
Ruina’s lively speech returned immediately.
She is a body that cannot move on her own without me by her side.
That’s why Ruina would have been riding in the National Intelligence Service’s van, which she had been using as a taxi recently.
Perhaps my thoughts were interrupted in the middle, because I was asking the black-suited man accompanying me for directions.
By the way, I was really worried whether it would be okay.
Last time Ruina visited the rooftop of the Hero Nation, she met only a few people.
This time, more than 20 people confront her.
There was no need for unnecessary tension since there were no heroes among the people I met, but I wondered if it was really okay to show everyone her who was harboring a big secret.
“Team Leader Lee Tae-seok said it was okay, but… … .”
Rather, I was more worried because the person said he was okay.
If Ruina did anything rash, or if someone tried to do anything rash to Ruina, it was clear that the National Intelligence Service agents hiding everywhere would jump out.
Could we really be nonchalant about having bombs around us that could explode at any moment?
“What have you been mumbling about all this time? Do you feel bad about showing Yuri to others?”
“That’s not it, huh?”
Kyungtae was still showing strong jealousy towards me.
I feel like if we don’t do something about this guy quickly, he’ll turn into a jealous villain.
“Now that you mention it, how are things going with Blaze?”
“B, why are you suddenly talking about Blaze?”
“You are such a hungry woman. Of course, to me, that babble doesn’t seem like a woman’s thing.”
“No, what is it? Blaze is also a very busy person… … .”
Kyungtae was fidgeting with his hands and glancing up at the dark sky for no reason.
There was no answer, but it seemed that at least there were no major issues between the two.
“Oh, anyway! When Yuri-ssi comes, can I dare to be rude?”
“What kind of rudeness are you trying to bring up again?”
“Among Yuri’s friends, is there anyone in a similar situation to me… … . Something like that… … .”
Kyungtae blushed slightly and gradually lowered his voice.
This guy.
So this is why I kept asking if Ruina was coming.
“What? If that’s the case, then it’s okay.”
“Really!? Tell Yuri that your boyfriend said it was okay to ask!?”
“I see.”
Of course, it won’t be the rosy result that Kyungtae wants.
I answered calmly.
I had never heard that Ruina had a same-sex friend.
She has been living as a villain for the past few years to begin with.
Far from having an ordinary friend, even if you had someone you could call a friend, that friend might as well be a villain.
“Hehe… … .”
Kyungtae, who obviously didn’t know about such things, was just making a vain expression as if he was letting his imagination run wild.

The destination of the long-awaited company dinner was a meat restaurant in a downtown area.
It’s meat.
It doesn’t feel that fancy, but it’s the best for a company dinner.
Besides, I haven’t had any grilled meat in the past few days.
Since Ruina is participating, let’s feed her plenty of meat.
That’s probably the only thing I can do now to forget about my worries.
“Hey. When is Yuri coming?”
Kyungtae, who was about to enter the store, suddenly asked.
“Well.”
I was waiting for Ruina outside the store entrance with my arms crossed.
No. Actually, I was pretending to wait.
Before our group arrived at the meat restaurant.
Ruina had already arrived here about 10 minutes ago.
However, if Ruina had come here before us, it would have been a strange picture.
I had told her to wait a moment until I got back.
“Ahem. I think we’re almost there now… ?”
I put on a clumsy performance and quickly winked at a distant corner of the street.
[Okay, honey! I’ll be right there!]
I could hear Ruina’s thoughts, watching me from somewhere nearby.
About 10 seconds passed like that.
“Huh? Is that Yuri?”
“Ah, you’re here now─.”
“… … … … .”
Kyungtae and I both shut our mouths at the same time.
“Hehehe. A little late, huh?”
Ruina put her long side hair behind her ear and smiled charmingly.
On her face, there was light makeup that I had never seen before.
It’s almost like base makeup, with just a little bit of color makeup applied to the cheeks and lips.
But now, Ruina’s beauty seemed to have gone up at least a few levels.
“Hey, hey. Your girlfriend is here. I should say something.”
Kyungtae was frozen stiffly and kept nudging me with his elbow.
But I, too, couldn’t think of anything to say when I saw my girlfriend’s increasingly beautiful appearance.
There is only one thought filling my head right now.
[pretty.]
It was a short, powerful word.
“Ehehe… … ♡”
Of course, my thoughts would continue to be conveyed to her.
She was blushing brightly as she fiddled with her earring.
That appearance was even more attractive.
If only Kyungtae hadn’t been there, I would have wanted to make physical contact with her right away.
“Well, it suits you well, Ru─Yuri.”
“Hehe. I got complimented by you. It was worth dressing up.”
It wasn’t just makeup.
Ruina’s current outfit is a layered one-piece dress with a large ribbon tied around the waist to emphasize her streamlined body lines.
The outfit, which was fresh and yet strangely provocative, perfectly suited Ruina’s superior proportions.
“Ah, hello Yuri! T-T, do you remember me!?”
Kyungtae bowed sharply at a 90-degree angle and greeted with an excessively loud voice.
“Um… … .”
Ruina put her index finger to her pink lips and tilted her head slightly to the side.
“Seo, did you forget… … .”
“Hehe. Just kidding, Mr. Yoo Kyung-tae.”
Immediately afterwards, Ruina returned Kyungtae’s greeting with a playful expression and her tongue slightly sticking out.
“Ha, ha. ha. Hot… … .”
Kyungtae smiled stiffly and pretended to sweep his chest away.
Than this guy.
Even though I’m in front of a pretty girl, I’m being completely toyed with…
“Go in first. I’ll talk to Yuri for a bit and then go in.”
“Uh, uh. Okay, okay. Then I’ll see you again inside, Yuri.”
“Yes~”
Kyungtae comes at us several times.
To be exact, he nodded several times toward Ruina and entered the restaurant.
Right after Kyungtae entered.
As usual, Ruina poked her head in.
I lovingly stroked the back of Ruina’s head, which seemed to be especially shiny today.
If it were normal, I would have stroked the crown of your head.
Right now, all I wanted to do was pull her closer and caress her.
“Hehehe. You’re stroking me more actively than usual. Am I that pretty?”
“You’re so pretty, I thought my heart was going to burst. How did you do your makeup?”
The fact that Ruina is so pretty is pretty.
How on earth do you do makeup that requires so much concentration over such a long period of time?
When I asked that question, Ruina glanced at the alley she had walked through and smiled.
“Team Leader, there was a person among your subordinates who was good at camouflage. That’s why I asked you.”
“Above, stomach?”
“They say women’s makeup is just camouflage, right? Hehe.”
I’m sure I’ve heard something like that… … !
I couldn’t imagine a man as big as a mountain in a suit carefully applying makeup to Ruina’s pale face.
