by fnovelpiaThe company dinner returned after the incident was safely resolved.
“Ms. Yuri, did you cry!?”
As soon as I got back, the senior sitting next to me was startled and said something.
The eyes of my coworkers, who had just dispersed, gathered together again.
But this time it’s not Ruina.
It was mine.
“Hey, Jo Seong-hoon… …. What did you do that made you cry, Yuri?”
“Ah… … . No.”
“No? No~?? You’re not crying??”
It’s true that I didn’t cry… … !!
Even though he was very drunk, Kyungtae’s gaze was very sharp.
Not only Gyeongtae.
Everyone’s eyes, including the manager’s, were on me demanding an explanation.
Glance.
He cast his tense eyes at Ruina.
Ruina, who was flustered due to the sudden sexual harassment incident earlier, ended up shedding tears.
As a result, the makeup around her eyes was slightly smudged.
It wasn’t so obvious, but it seemed like even other women couldn’t help but notice that it was a scar caused by crying.
That doesn’t mean there was anything I could do right away.
Not only do I not have the skills to fix Ruina’s makeup, but I also don’t have any women’s makeup tools in the first place.
But that doesn’t mean Ruina can fix it herself.
The reason, of course, was the same as mine.
“Ugh… .”
In the end, I was once again faced with the thorny bed that had just become quiet.
“This is, there was dust in my eye, so I had to get it out… … .”
Soon after, a statement like this came out from Ruina.
“Dust?”
“Yes. If our boyfriend hadn’t been here, it would have spread even more… … . Wipe away the tears with a handkerchief… … .”
Before leaving the bathroom.
I did lend her the handkerchief I always carried in my pocket to wipe away Ruina’s tear stains…
There was a moment when I wondered if everyone would believe Ruina’s excuses at face value.
Kyungtae and Yeo Seonbae, etc.
The piercing gazes of my colleagues, who had been looking at me and Ruina alternately, began to gradually soften.
“What? Was it something like that?”
“Aha. That’s what it was.”
“““That’s what it was.”””
It’s as if my coworkers had set it up.
Everyone nodded in unison, accepting Ruina’s explanation.
If I made an excuse, there were times when I thought you would never believe me… … .
Anyway, that’s fortunate.
I almost became a piece of trash who made my girlfriend cry at a company dinner.
“Ms. Yuri. You didn’t bring your cosmetics? Then I’ll lend you mine. Any brand is fine, right?”
“Huh? Oh, yeah… … . Hehe.”
While sitting down in relief.
The senior readily rummaged through her handbag and took out a pouch full of makeup tools.
however.
Ruina and I had a gut feeling that we were once again in a dangerous situation.
[If I accept that, Ruina won’t be able to fix it… …!]
[I can’t wear makeup if I get this… …!]
Each other’s thoughts were directly inserted into each other’s heads.
Eventually, Ruina reluctantly accepted the cosmetics pouch from her senior.
She looked at my face furtively.
I too looked at her stiff, tense face.
Nod─.
We already know exactly what each other is thinking.
I quietly took my cell phone out of my arms.
Isn’t it possible that NIS agents are hiding there to take advantage of times like this?
Unlike the time before when I was worried, this time I sent a text message to Team Leader Lee Tae-seok without any hesitation.
It was a quick reply, coming back within 5 seconds of sending the text.
[Ruina. I just asked Team Leader Itaeseok and he said he’d fix it if I went to the bathroom.]
[Okay, I got it. I’ll be back soon.]
“Then I’ll go fix it for a bit. Hehe.”
“Oh, there’s a hand mirror inside.”
“Oh, I want to look at it in a big mirror and fix it… … .”
Ruina, who had been shrugging her shoulders and trying to make excuses, got up from her seat.
“Take it slow.”
I want to reset the invalidation time.
He patted her shoulder and smiled.
“Okay. I’ll be back, honey. Hehehe.”
Is it because I laughed?
She, who had been groping the whole time, showed a faint smile.
Just then she headed to the bathroom again.
I noticed a group of large men in plainclothes who were clearly agents heading in the same direction.
“Ugh… … . Alcohol is so bitter… … .”
I sat down again next to him, feeling relieved.
A somber voice could be heard from Gyeongtae, who had witnessed our salting.
Seriously, this guy… … .
Before I turn black later, I think I should gather all my connections and introduce someone to him.
* * *
The subsequent dinner went smoothly, contrary to my concerns.
Maybe a couple of hours had passed like that.
Because our hero nation’s dinners rarely went on to a second round.
Everyone dispersed around 9 o’clock.
To begin with, there were several employees who attended this dinner with their significant other, so even if I wanted to continue, I couldn’t.
“Then see you all tomorrow.”
“Mr. Sunghoon, please take Yuri home safely. Okay?”
“Haha… … . Of course it should be like that.”
I nodded awkwardly at my senior’s worried request.
Of course, my coworkers don’t know that Ruina and I live together.
And the reason why my senior was so worried now was because of Ruina who was hanging next to me.
In fact, the words just hung.
She was now completely drunk and could barely stand on her feet.
Thanks to that, the current appearance was of her with her arm around his shoulder and forcibly holding him up.
“Hey Jo Seong-hui. Yuri! Make sure to take me home safely!”
“You and I, please go home safely.”
Likewise, Kyungtae, who was more drunk than usual, staggered and swore at me.
It doesn’t matter since I’m here, Ruina, but I think that guy is really dangerous…
“Mr. Kyungtae, we are going almost the same way, so let’s go together.”
“Hey! Please take care of me!!”
Fortunately, it seemed like the generous manager was trying to sort things out.
Kyungtae bowed excessively to the manager, expressing his deep gratitude.
It’s a good thing our manager is a good person.
That’s completely out of touch with society…
Soon we were safely separated from the crowd and slowly crossing the busy street.
“Ehehe… . Heee… . Hehe.”
Shake shake.
Ruina barely manages to move her legs as if she’s falling over in front of me.
“Are you okay?”
“Uuuung… … .”
When I asked her with concern, she only groaned and shook her head.
Could this be a backlash against the near miss today?
She drank the alcohol offered by those around her in gulps.
Last time we were drinking beer, I thought he was drinking too much, and then he passed out…
As expected, it seemed like Ruina hadn’t figured out her own drinking capacity yet.
A vicious SSS-class villain known as the God of Destruction staggers around drunk in the middle of a busy street.
If you tell this situation to someone, how many people will believe you?
Hmm. No, I’m sure not.
“I have to hurry up and go to bed and put this to bed… … .”
Of course, if you use Ruina’s ability, you can get rid of drunkenness.
Because she is the one who destroys even the cold energy in one’s own body.
But how?
I don’t know how to do that.
So, as her lover, all I could do was go home quietly and put her to bed.
“There will be more people on the subway now than usual, I wonder if I can get on safely… … .”
Memories of the first day I met Ruina.
The memory of her chest being pounded hard among the tightly packed passengers came flooding back to her.
“No, no. Why are you suddenly thinking of something like this?”
I quickly shook my head and walked quickly to the subway station in front of me.
however.
My plan to take the subway was ruined from the start.
“Mi… … Jeong?”
A battle between justice and evil that you would never have imagined.
The damage caused by the repercussions was reaching me in its entirety.
“Oh my. What kind of service interruption is this?”
“This is a big problem… . I have to go in quickly… .”
“Fuck. If you’re going to fight, fight somewhere there’s no one around.”
People around me were also cursing at the breaking news that appeared on the electronic board in the station.
“… … ! No way!?”
He realized the situation too late and quickly turned around.
“Ah… … .”
As expected.
There was usually a long line of taxis in front of the station.
Now that the subway has stopped running, there aren’t any taxis left.
“Haa… … .”
Do we need to use the National Intelligence Service’s power here again?
It was a method I didn’t particularly like.
But that was the only way to get home now.
Supporting Ruina with one arm.
It was at that moment that I was struggling to take my cell phone out of my pocket.
“… … … … Ugh.”
“Ugh?”
An ominous sound was heard from the side at that moment.
I glanced back at Ruina, and a major accident that I couldn’t describe in words was about to happen.
* * *
Thump thump …!!
I am now sitting on the bed, dressed in a white bathrobe.
I couldn’t control my heart, which felt like it was going to burst.
Soft pink lighting.
A bed that looks like it has a lot of functions.
A variety of adult-oriented toys.
And my girlfriend, lying on the bed, completely out of it.
“Why am I in a place like this… …!?”
I am now.
I was staying at a lodging facility called a love hotel.
