Black Emily Building.

I came to see Hye-yoon.

These days, Hye-yoon calls me here often.

Hmm… I feel like Hye-yoon is getting more and more serious as time goes by. Whenever she has time, she keeps looking for me.

Thanks to this, the Black Emily Building has become as comfortable as my home. Now, even the security guards guarding the building quickly bow their heads and open the doors when they see me.

Are you used to being treated well?

Actually, this is all Hye-yoon’s power, not mine.

I tried to keep that fact in mind.

If you walk around with your shoulders hunched over as if you’ve done something wrong, you might get into an accident.

People should live humbly. Of course. Ahem.

I arrived at Hye-yoon’s office, thinking about that fact again.

Hyeyoon was sitting at her desk, browsing through document files on her laptop.

“Ah. Welcome. Alex brought some whipped cream cake earlier. Let’s eat it together.”

“Cake? Mr. Alex? Why out of the blue?”

“I guess the subordinates gave it to Alex because it was his birthday. But Alex doesn’t eat cake because he’s taking care of his health. I like cake, so Alex knew that and gave it to me.”

……Even the mafia celebrates things like birthdays.

I imagined Alex being given a birthday cake by his large men in pitch-black suits.

Something doesn’t seem right. Ahem.

I think I imagined something I shouldn’t have imagined. Ugh.

I stared at Hye-yoon, who was sitting on the sofa in the office, concentrating on her work.

I feel like some kind of mature office lady.

A black blouse and stockings suit Hye-yoon.

Yes. Hye-yoon is definitely a very beautiful woman.

I often forget that because of the energy that comes from being a mafia boss –

While Hye-yoon and I were talking about this and that, we heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

As Hye-yoon shouted, the door opened carefully and someone appeared.

Huh? Yes, Yeonlim?

Why is Yeonlim here?

I sat up in surprise.

Yeonlim seemed surprised as well.

“You, what are you doing here?”

“Huh? Seongwon?”

Then Hye-yoon clapped her hands and joined in.

“Okay. Let’s sit down on the sofa and talk. Seongwon, you didn’t know that Yeonrim joined our organization, right?”

No, I knew it.

Hyeyoon, you told me that last time.

I was about to say that but held back.

Maybe it was because I was flustered when I met Yeonlim in an unexpected place… I didn’t know.

***

Five minutes later.

I heard the whole story in detail.

……..Ah. So that’s how Yeonlim came to Black Emily.

Originally, Yeonlim had a vain desire to live a life that was full of beauty.

Well, actually, seeing Yeonlim coming into this office, I think I have no choice but to accept it.

By the way, working as a madam at a high-class bar and getting information is a job.

What should I say about this… I couldn’t say anything to Yeonlim.

Honestly, it won’t be easy… You’ll have to go through a lot of dirty things… Should I comfort you? Or should I congratulate you on joining Black Emily?

Yeonlim smiled melancholy as if she had read my emotions and opened her mouth.

“It’s my choice. You don’t have to look at me like that.”

Perhaps because of what she was doing, a strange lust flowed from Yeonlim’s eyes.

I guess people change depending on their environment. Yeonlim exuded a fascinating aura that I had never felt before.

Uhh……. Is this really Yeonlim? Why did she change so much? She’s become a lot prettier.

Yeonlim had a decadent beauty that I had never felt before.

“So what is the important information?”

Hyeyoon asked, scooping up some of the cake in front of her with a spoon.

“A human named Elder is said to be planning to blow up the boss. I don’t know the specific plan, but there are rumors going around the political circle.”

Elder?

Who is the old man?

Then Hye-yoon put the spoon in her mouth and laughed.

“That old man? Anyway……. The old man is still the same.”

“Who is the old man?”

When I asked, Hye-yoon answered while pointing at me with a spoon.

“Baek format.”

Baek Hyung-sik?

The guy who’s on the news a lot? That big politician?

and.

My mouth dropped open in surprise. That big shot had something to do with Hye-yoon.

Well, Hye-yoon is also the biggest mafia in this country right now. It’s impossible for her not to have connections with politicians of that level.

“Baek Hyung-sik is a political monster. I find it difficult to deal with him.”

Yeonlim nodded at Hye-yoon’s words.

“Yes. Even the customers who visit our store have a hard time even mentioning Baek Hyung-sik. He is famous for his sly personality.”

“The word ‘smart snake’ is not enough. He’s an old man like a hundred-year-old snake. That old man is trying to hit me……..?”

Hmm… Is there some kind of conspiracy going on?

When I put my hand on the back of my head and made a thoughtful expression, Hye-yoon said.

“Ah~ Try it. I’ll feed you cake.”

Huh?

What are you doing all of a sudden in this serious atmosphere?

Even though I frowned in embarrassment, Hye-yoon continued to urge me.

“Quickly. Ah~ I told you to do it.”

hmm…….

You’re not playing any other pranks, are you?

As I opened my mouth slightly, Hyeyoon slowly pushed the spoon into my mouth.

The cake was sweet. It seemed like a pretty expensive cake.

Something strangely erotic…….

Wait a minute. Hye-yoon was using this spoon just a moment ago.

This is……. an indirect kiss??

“How is it? Is it delicious?”

Hyeyoon smiled and asked.

“Mmm. It’s delicious. Yeonlim-ah. You try it too-”

“No. Just eat it.”

Hyeyoon cut me off completely.

“Shin Yeon-rim is now my subordinate. This cake is my cake, so if Shin Yeon-rim wants to eat it, she has to ask permission from me. I will give this cake only to you.”

what?

Why are you suddenly being so childish? Are you an elementary school student?

Aha… Could it be that I’m doing this because I fell in love with the pretty Yeonlim?

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Yeonlim, and I was a bit upset just now.

Ah… No way. No matter what, would Bin Hye-yoon be this childish?

Then Yeonlim answered in a crawling voice, perhaps embarrassed.

“It’s okay, boss. I don’t really like cake.”

“Yeah. Of course. If Seongwon doesn’t eat it, I’ll eat it all.”

Hyeyoon answered like that, sat down with her legs crossed, and continued eating the cake with a spoon.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that only Bin Hye-yoon can handle it.

Who can handle this temper? I can handle it because I have a Buddha-like heart.

Hyeyoon opened her mouth, pointing to the ceiling with a small spoon.

“If the old man had decided to blow me up, there were two ways to do it. Either sue me and bring me to court, or go on an assassination mission.”

Yeonlim blinked her eyes and answered Hye-yoon’s words.

“Sorry, boss. Everyone’s story is so different… I can’t get the exact information. But I think it’s clear that Baek Hyung-sik is up to something.”

“I need more information…….Is there any way.”

Hmm.

Then a good idea suddenly occurred to me and I intervened.

“Doesn’t Seol-hee know something?”

Then Hye-yoon opened her eyes wide and shouted loudly.

“Yeah! That’s it! Hwarang Group!”

“Huh? Why?”

“Hwarang Group must know something! Oh my. Seongwon. It’s been a while since you paid for a meal, right?”

Hyeyoon said that and tried to pat my head.

“Am I a kid? Don’t touch my head. So what are you going to do?”

“What should I do? I should ask them directly.”

“Huh?”

Hyeyoon stood up from her seat and walked to her desk with a stomping motion.

“Let’s go to Yoo Seol-hee’s house today. Shin Yeon-rim. You come too.”

“Huh? Yes.”

Yeonlim nodded.

Um… I don’t know what’s going on, but I want to get out of here-

“Sungwon. You have to go too.”

Ah. Why bother?

When I frowned, Hye-yoon smiled brightly and said.

“I need you. Didn’t you know that Yoo Seol-hee likes you?”

What?

***

That night.

Seol-hee, with a white mask pack on her face, greeted us at the penthouse.

“What are you doing without contacting me? Do you think my house is a playground?”

Seol-hee, wearing pajamas, opened the large door slightly and grumbled.

“You drank so much last time. So you came here to get over your hangover.”

Seol-hee laughed as if she was shocked by Hye-yoon’s shameless words.

“When are you talking about? It’s so ridiculous… Come in first.”

So we entered Seol-hee’s penthouse.

Even when I come back, it’s still a spacious house.

The modern design interior is clean without a speck of dust, perhaps because it is often cleaned by housekeepers.

Yeon-rim looked around the house with her mouth wide open, as if it was her first time in a penthouse.

Fortunately, it seemed like all the housekeepers had left work.

We sat in a circle on the wide floor.

There was a long sofa, but I didn’t think we would be able to have a proper conversation if we sat side by side.

“Yuseolhee. You knew, right?”

When Hye-yoon asked right away, Seol-hee took off the mask pack on her face and answered.

“What?”

“Baekhyung is targeting me.”

Seol-hee frowned slightly and made a displeased expression. Then she didn’t answer.

I knew it.

Last time you called me and just had a meaningless conversation and hung up…

Seol-hee smiled awkwardly and answered.

“I don’t know. Is that what you came here to ask?”

“Lies.”

Hyeyoon smiled brightly.

Then Seol-hee looked around at us and reacted.

“There’s no reason for us to get involved in the fight between that old man who’s like a snake and Black Emily. Since they’re a flower-viewing group anyway, we can just watch. Why would we give information to Hye-yoon?”

“So you know something?”

When I asked, Seol-hee avoided eye contact and kept her mouth shut.

“Well. Yeah. I didn’t think you’d tell me easily anyway.”

Hyeyoon said that and then suddenly fell back to her knees.

“I drank a lot last time……. Should we play a game?”

“Yes?”

“Do you have a card?”

?

What is Bin Hye-yoon trying to do again?

Seol-hee jumped up and shouted.

“What kind of crazy thing are you trying to do again……. I don’t need that. Get out now. I have to do Pilates.”

“No. I have to get something before I go out. Shin Yeon-rim. You go out and buy a poker card or something.”

“Huh? Oh, yes.”

Yeonlim jumped up and went out of the penthouse, and Seolhee glared at Hyeyoon, blowing air into her mouth.

Ouch. This is annoying.

Seol-hee was saying that with that expression.

While Yeonlim went out to buy a card, Seolhee took a shower and Hyeyoon took off her socks and lay down, wiggling her bare feet.

“Ah. I’m tired. Why can’t the world leave me alone? Is it because I’m too good? ”

Hyeyoon, lying on the living room floor, put her legs up on the sofa and hummed an unknown song.

“What song is that?”

“Bin Hye-yoon’s praise song. Do you want to sing it too?”

“…….Okay.”

Ha- How childish and brilliant.

By the way, something is strange.

Clearly a crisis is imminent… but Hye-yoon looks happy.

Is the current situation fun? Is Hye-yoon confident that she can win against that snake-like old man?

Soon Yeonlim bought the card and we sat down again.

So somehow, Seol-hee, who had been grumbling, also ended up joining the card game.

“Wow. This is incredible. What kind of bullying is going on in someone else’s house right now……”

While Hye-yoon was shuffling the cards, Seol-hee muttered while wiping her wet hair with a towel.

Hyeyoon, who was shuffling the cards, smiled brightly and said.

“We’re going to play a mafia-style poker game… but it wouldn’t be fun if we just played card games, right?”

“What?”

Everyone’s attention was focused on Hye-yoon’s mouth.

“The loser should be punished. It wouldn’t be fun to bet with money……”

Hyeyoon muttered as she skillfully shuffled the cards with both hands.

I have a bad feeling about this.

What is Hye-yoon doing again……..

“Okay. Let’s have the first person to die in the card game take off one of the clothes they’re wearing.”

At Hye-yoon’s suggestion, Seol-hee, Yeon-rim, and I could not help but open our eyes wide and scream.

“What, what did you say??”

No. Wait…

There are all beauties here except me.

Is this a good deal?
