22. Out of control
After hearing the news that Lee Jeong-oh and Jeong Ji-heon left first to entertain advertisers, Eun-bi hurriedly organized her work and went to the place for the dinner.
There were five people at a spacious table in a bar. Two advertisers, the AE in charge, Jeong Ji-heon, and Lee Jeong-oh.
Eunbi frowned harshly after hearing Noon's voice.
'Where did you put the bell, why does it jingle like that?'
I was dissatisfied with Lee Jeong-oh, who constantly joked about advertisers. Not to mention Jiheon, who is watching and quietly smiling.
"We were too late. "I suddenly had a rush of work."
Eunbi took the seat between Noon and Jiheon and greeted the advertiser.
Eventually, the empty seats were filled one by one, and Noon moved away from the center without saying a word and settled down at the edge. Only then did Eunbi relax.
An advertiser I had met once at the company had a lot to say. Also, why are you telling so many boring jokes? Eunbi smiled a few times, but couldn't stand it anymore and took refuge in the bathroom.
'I have to leave quickly.'
Jiheon, who hates being boring, was sure to be frustrated since he stayed there for a long time.
'Shall I call my brother?'
I remembered that my older brother, Chae Eun-yeop, said he had business nearby today.
Eun-yeop and Ji-heon have been friends for a long time. If you asked to go out without any reason, Jiheon might refuse, but it seemed like he would accept it if you made up an excuse for Eunyeop.
I really liked the fact that Jiheon was my older brother's friend. This relationship could not be easily broken.
Eunbi sent a text message to Eunyeop asking her to meet Jiheon nearby.
Eun-yeop was quick to notice and replied that he would try to contact Ji-heon.
Eunbi came out of the bathroom with a proud expression.
However, Jiheon's seat was empty.
"Director, where have you been?"
I asked the employee sitting next to me.
"You went outside earlier."
My stomach became cold. The voice that had bothered my ears until recently was no longer heard. Eunbi immediately turned her head.
Lee Jeong-oh's seat was also empty.
Jeong Ji-heon and Lee Jeong-oh are gone.
.*. *. *. *. *. *.
In front of convenience store.
Her hands came and touched her, and it felt like they were massaging her heart, not her cheeks.
The fingertips that touched my cheeks were hot.
Lee Jeong-oh was very drunk.
Even though it was a prank he started, Jiheon wasn't having fun anymore.
My heart felt tight.
The earnest look in his eyes, as if he truly believed him to be his father's soul, was pitiful.
I wanted to sympathize with that pitiful feeling, but my body was rejecting it. As her father, he did not want to be carried away by those sublime feelings.
And even at this moment when I wanted to reject it, I was angry because the woman who came close to me, who was stained with tears and was unfolding her emotions, was creepy and pretty.
