A Bad Guy On Top Of A Bad Guy - c114
Episode 114: Side Story 4-11.
Su-hyeon, who lay down on her stomach on the carpet with the air conditioner turned on, looked at the workbook while groaning. I heard that the tutor I had a hard time finding ran away again two days ago. This time, he even returned all tuition fees. I heard that Yang Ho-beom gave quite a lot of money… . Am I so stupid as to give up on that?
I took a deep breath and, unable to let go, I turned around and lay down on my back. When I searched on the Internet, I heard that the qualification exam for a middle school graduate is so easy that you can pass it by just knowing the letters… . Did the person who wrote that lie? Why is it so difficult for me? They say they are looking for another tutor, but I wonder how long they will last this time.
As I was staring blankly at the ceiling, I heard a human voice coming from downstairs. I got up from my seat, went outside, and went to the stairs. Has Ho-beom Yang arrived? However, the unexpected guest was not Ho-beom, but Kim Woo-jin, whom we had seen for the first time in a month.
The guy wore beige slacks and a neat navy blue shirt, and contrary to expectations that he would be thin, his body was quite solid. He was slightly tanned because it was summer, but it made him feel more lively, and he cut his hair short, making him look even more manly.
“Brother, you were at home.”
“How did you get here?”
Kang Won-daek pointed to the wrapping cloth that she believed to have received from Woo-jin a little while ago.
“My family made and sent refreshments.”
Ah, I see. Usually, when I send something from my home, an employee comes, but today it seems that Kim Woo-jin came in person. Woojin’s gaze suddenly landed on the pencil Suhyeon was holding. Then he asks if I have been studying. Suhyeon hid his hands behind his back, a little embarrassed that he was studying at this age.
“What subject is it?”
“math… .”
“Is it worth it?”
No, it’s fucking hard.
“Just what… .”
“Shall I take a look?”
- Su-hyeon did not refuse. My pride was hurt, but I was in no position to choose between cold and hot food. The qualification exam was right around the corner, but every teacher who came was busy running away, and even if I found another teacher, it was unclear how long I would last.
Besides, isn’t Kim Woo-jin a student at a prestigious university? She has a calm personality, so I think she would be good at teaching. Even at the same prestigious university, Yang Ho-beom was not equipped to teach anyone. Didn’t he almost get into a fight while learning math a few days ago?
[Even if I take a dog and teach it, it would be better than this.]
Soo-hyeon eventually couldn’t stand it anymore and threw away the pencil. Ho-beom consoled her by saying that she had made a mistake and that he would teach her well, but she didn’t ask him anything after that. If they were a couple, maybe they would have divorced after teaching him how to drive.
“If you say you’ll look after it… I won’t refuse. Because I’m in a hurry… .”
As I trail off, Woojin smiles.
“Then let’s go. Where is the workbook?”
As they headed to the second floor, Kim Woo-jin naturally tried to follow, but Kang Won-daek tried to block his path. She smiled kindly, but her tone was stern.
“That’s it for Master Woojin. “You must stay in the living room.”
When Kim Woo-jin made a bewildered expression, Kang Won-daek kindly continued to explain.
“The representative requested this. “He told me to never go anywhere other than the living room when I visit here.”
That’s like saying don’t let the two of you be alone. Su-hyeon was filled with despair and looked at Kang Won-daek once and then at Kim Woo-jin. He may feel bad, but Kim Woo-jin doesn’t even blink. Okay, then. Since it’s my brother’s house, as a guest, I have to follow. Then he casually goes to the living room sofa and sits down.
“Brother, if you bring the workbook, I will take a look at it.”
Su-hyeon nodded and went up to the second floor and brought down the workbook. Meanwhile, Kang Won was serving tea and refreshments to Woo Jin. He sat down next to Kim Woo-jin, opened the workbook, and found the page he had finished solving a while ago.
“I just can’t figure this out. “Earlier, I was,”
While Su-hyeon was talking, Woo-jin’s gaze fell on the short shorts Su-hyeon was wearing. Su-hyeon, who was speaking, noticed this and asked with a puzzled expression.
“why?”
“This is my first time seeing you wearing short pants.”
“Oh, this is comfortable when it’s hot.”
“Brother’s legs… .”
“huh?”
“It’s very white. “Your calves are pretty, and your ankles are thin.”
I vaguely asked if it was because I was embarrassed for some reason. She offers to explain, but Kim Woo-jin takes her pen and sits close to her. Her breath touches me and the smell of her perfume becomes stronger. At that time, Kang Won-daek appears from somewhere and quietly grabs the two people’s shoulders and spreads them apart. Don’t forget to clear your throat.
“I can hear everything even if I explain it from this distance.”
She smiled sweetly and disappeared into the kitchen, and Kim Woo-jin sighed softly and shook his head. Kim Woo-jin kindly explained the problem that Su-hyeon had been struggling to solve until a little while ago, writing it down in her notebook. If you don’t understand, explain it again, and again.
However, while listening to the explanation, Soo-hyun suddenly thought of Chairman Yang. Chairman Yang underwent surgery for stomach cancer. Fortunately, he said that although he had his stomach removed in the early stages, he did not undergo chemotherapy. Because of that, Hobeom has been visiting his parents’ house often recently. Even if his words were blunt, it must have struck a nerve. Woojin noticed that Suhyun was thinking about something else and waved a pencil in front of her eyes.
“Bro, what are you thinking?”
“uh?”
“You were thinking about something else right now.”
“Do you see it?”
Woojin smiled and nodded, and Suhyun asked about Chairman Yang’s current status.
“Grandpa, are you okay? “I lost a little weight and my eating amount decreased significantly, but after about a year, I think I will be able to recover to about 80%, although not as much as before.”
thank god. Su-hyeon looks relieved and Woo-jin looks at her face.
“It’s so strange.”
“what.”
“Don’t you hate my grandfather? “He’s the one who told me to kill my brother.”
It seems like he’s asking this not sarcastically, but out of genuine curiosity.
“Of course it’s not good. still… .”
Suhyun paused for a moment. Still, you’re Yang Ho-beom’s grandfather. He is also the person who raised Yang Ho-beom. Ho-beom Yang is the person I trust, like, and rely on the most right now, so I don’t want to see him hurt. I was wondering how to explain all of this, but Woojin changed the subject.
“That’s Okay. “She’s not really curious.”
He then goes on to explain the problem.
“Focus this time. “Or I’ll slap you.”
“Hey, I’m older though…” .”
Even while grumbling, Suhyeon tried not to miss his words. It’s nice to hear your voice speaking softly. He holds a pencil and solves the problem as instructed, subtly holding his hand and drawing lines along the shape. From here to here.
Then he sits a little closer to the side. I feel like my body smells different than before, perhaps because I’m spraying perfume. Rather than being bothered by something, Su-hyeon was caught off guard by what Yang Ho-beom said, so Su-hyeon quietly withdrew his hand.
Kim Woo-jin calmly explained the next problem. If you don’t understand it the first time, repeat it from the beginning. He was more patient than I thought, and his patience was also great. At this level, he was so enthusiastic that I thought he would get points even if he brought his dog to study at home.
After listening to it a few times, I felt like my head was spinning differently than before. We sat like that for quite a long time, solving problems and joking in between, so I didn’t even notice the time passing. Until Yang Ho-beom shows up.
“CEO, you got off work early today.”
When I looked up, I saw Yang Ho-beom just entering the entrance. His expression didn’t change much, probably because he knew in advance that Woojin was coming. I’m here? He said hello briefly and chatted with Kang Won-daek for a while. Ah, Kang Won-daek nodded, took off her apron and moved to the entrance.
I’ll be back for a while. She suddenly disappeared, leaving only the three of her in her big house.
Su-hyeon was curious about where Kang Won-daek had gone, but was unable to ask because Ho-beom spoke first.
“how is it? “Is it worth learning from Woojin?”
Much better than you, it’s a baby. If you say that, you’ll be like shit.
“Uh, teach me in detail…” .”
“Good for you.”
Thank you, Woojin. Please come and help me sometimes. Then he hurried inside, saying he was going to wash up. Why is the reaction so simple? I feel confused and uncomfortable. There’s no way that person could be so nice. I felt anxious because I was doing something I had never done before, so I stood up, but Woojin grabbed my arm.
Suhyun looked at the hand blankly.
“I’ll explain the next problem.”
Ah, Suhyeon removed the hand holding her arm. He squeezed so hard that my skin ached.
“for a moment. “I have something to say to Boss Yang.”
Woojin lowered his eyebrows and made an expression like an abandoned puppy, but he was so uncomfortable that he couldn’t bear it. I promised to come out soon and quickly went into the bedroom. As I turned on the switch at the entrance, Hobeom, who I thought was washing up, stood in front of me.
Oh, what a surprise.
When I take a step back in surprise, he places one hand on the door to prevent me from escaping.
“I found myself in the tiger’s mouth.”
His grinning face felt somewhat like a villain, sending shivers down my spine.
