Chapter 206.

What? Dragon Rider? (12)   ‘Drive! It's green! Go!’ The sense of urgency in Oh Myung-Suk was so great that he couldn’t even withstand a brief moment of stop.

He suppressed the urge to sound the car horn, breathing heavily.

The warmth from the heater felt suffocating to him, and he pushed the button to wind down all four windows.

‘Yoo-Jin...! You frustrating girl...!’ The scene that night appeared before his eyes; they were together the entire night until the crack of dawn.

However, Oh Myung-Suk’s thirst remained unsatisfied.

He knew the solution to the problem at hand: he just had to have a meal at a certain house and go to sleep, and he just had to see Chae Yoo-Jin’s face first thing when he opened his eyes the next morning.

But of course, it should not be just a normal memory, but an unforgettable one.

He would just have to live every day for the rest of his life, relieving those precious days and moments.

Vrooom! Oh Myung-Suk stomped on the accelerator.

He held perfect belief without a shred of doubt.

His determination stood firmly as he drove on the road.

He couldn’t let that night’s happening turn into a memory.

Screeech! As soon as he parked the car in the car park, Oh Myung-Suk ran to the hotel.

He was able to quickly locate Chae Yoo-Jin, thanks to Ha Jae-Gun telling him that Chae Yoo-Jin was staying in the same hotel as him.

Oh Myung-Suk passed the doorman and hurried into the elevator as he pulled out his phone.

“...?!” Oh Myung-Suk stopped in his tracks the moment he crossed the hotel’s main entrance, looking stunned.

He saw a lady turning around from the front desk after checking out.

Her gaunt face, lifeless eyes, and unsteady footsteps made him wonder if she were the same confident Chae Yoo-Jin he had known all this while.

"Ah..." Chae Yoo-Jin stopped in her tracks as well when she saw Oh Myung-Suk.

Her jaws dropped slightly, and no words came out from her.

There were countless guests walking past them, but the two only stared at each other silently.

Oh Myung-Suk broke the silence first and started walking.

He walked calmly toward her.

The sound of his shoes hitting the floor with every step made Chae Yoo-Jin's heart pound harder against her chest.

"Where are you going?" Oh Myung-Suk asked.

Chae Yoo-Jin lowered her head instead of looking straight at him.

"I asked, where are you going?" Oh Myung-Suk repeated himself.

"I'm done with work, so I'm heading back to New York." "Are you joking with me? At this hour?" Oh Myung-Suk grabbed her shoulders.

She flinched, but Chae Yoo-Jin didn't look up.

"Is there nothing you want to tell me?" "What?" "You don't have to feign ignorance.

I know everything.” "...Did Mr.

Ha tell you?" Chae Yoo-Jin's self-deprecating smile was reflected on the newly waxed flooring.

Oh Myung-Suk's red face was reflected on it as well.

"How is that important right now? Why didn't you tell me right away? Why didn't you tell me something as important as this earlier?" Oh Myung-Suk pressed.

His raised tone made people around them turn their attention toward them.

"Aren't you being too full of yourself?" "What?" "How old are we? Do you really think that I'm not dating anyone else?" Chae Yoo-Jin looked up slowly.

The scornful look on her face was so forced that it looked unnatural.

Even the pupils of her widened eyes were shaking.

"Are you sure I don't have any other man aside from you?" Her provocation tore through Oh Myung-Suk's heart, which was why he could see the fear and anxiety that painted her face.

Tears began forming in Oh Myung-Suk's eyes, and he felt like going crazy when he imagined Chae Yoo-Jin suffering all by herself.

"Yes." Oh Myung-Suk regulated his breath for a while before saying, "I'm sure; that's why I'm sorry." "What do you mean?" Oh Myung-Suk took a step forward.

He pulled Chae Yoo-Jin into an embrace without a word.

"We're in public.

What do you think you're doing?" "Didn't you ask me to confirm if you have no other man aside from me?!" Oh Myung-Suk's words echoed through the lobby.

Hugged by Oh Myung-Suk, Chae Yoo-Jin stood stiffly from head to toe with her arms hanging down.

“I’m sure...

and I’m sorry for leaving you alone all this while.

Now, I just want to live with only you in my mind.” Oh Myung-Suk buried his face deep into her neck.

The familiar touch of the necklace around her neck grazed the tip of his nose.

It was the same necklace he had gifted on her birthday back in university.

“I love you, Chae Yoo-Jin.” The once-stiff Chae Yoo-Jin was suddenly drained of all energy.

The meaningless wall that she had built up came crumbling down.

Her eyes, which reflected the splendid chandeliers on the ceiling, quickly turned wet with tears.

He packed a few sets of clothes, and then he left the house before pulling his phone out.

Just then, the car parked on the other side of the road flashed its headlights at him.

Oh Myung-Suk covered his face to block out the strong light.

"Myung-Hoon...?" He realized that it was Oh Myung-Hoon's car after taking a closer look.

Oh Myung-Hoon reached out from the driver's seat and gestured lightly at Oh Myung-Suk.

Oh Myung-Suk walked over briskly.

"Why are you standing there in a daze even after recognizing that it was me?" "What are you doing here?" "Hop on.

It's going to be cumbersome with that luggage if you take a taxi." Oh Myung-Suk's hesitation lasted only for a brief moment.

He opened the back door and popped his luggage inside, and then they got into the car.

Oh Myung-Hoon stepped on the accelerator.

"Hyung, I'm proud of you," he said.

"Shut up.

How much is the fare?" Oh Myung-Suk grinned.

Oh Myung-Hoon was smiling lightly as well as he steered the car onto the main road.

The car carrying the two brothers made its way through the quiet winter night.

*** “The release of The Breath in the U.S.

is right around the corner.

If you don’t like to do commercials, what about appearing on a program instead?” “Do you really think that I have to do that, President Kwon?” “Yes.

Not just me, but OongSung, Nextion, and even China’s Teencent would love it.

All of us just didn’t mention it out of consideration for you.

But if you agree to appear in the program, it would definitely help in the marketing.

News articles about you will follow suit.

The corner Let’s Watch A Movie is still quite lacking.” Ha Jae-Gun and Kwon Tae-Won were sitting in the living room of Ha Jae-Gun’s house on a sunny midday.

kWON Tae-Won had presented to him three potential programs: I Live Alone, Three Meals A Day, and Literary Travel to North Europe.

“I can’t agree to Three Meals A Day,” Ha Jae-Gun said after taking a sip of his coffee.

“I prefer doing things alone than with a group of people.

Even if I decide to appear in a show, I’ll choose between either I Live Alone or Literary Travel to North Europe.” “I thought so too,” Kwon Tae-Won replied with his eyes shining, waiting for a definite answer from Ha Jae-Gun.

However, Ha Jae-Gun fell into agony once more.

The host of Literary Travel to North Europe was Park Hye-Sang.

Although they still greet each other once in a while, the fact that he’d have to work with her, on top of the long recording schedule, bothered him a lot.

‘Then all that’s left is I Live Alone....’ Bzzt! Just then, Ha Jae-Gun’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Reporter Hyun Sung-Beom, Ha Jae-Gun answered it immediately.

“Yes, Reporter?” — Hello, Mr.

Ha! I’m Hyun Sung-Beom from Weekly Trends, we last met at the airport! I’ve received your email! I never expected to hear from you so soon!

The young reporter was so loud that even Kwon Tae-Won could hear him.

Kwon Tae-Won smiled, knowing that they were referring to the story about Lee Soo-Hee.

“I told you, didn't I? I keep my word.” — I was doubtful at first, so I didn't expect that you'd actually contact me.

I will most definitely do my best with the special feature and upload the article.

Please include me in your wedding invitation list, too.

“All right, if you write it well, I’ll send you another interesting story soon.” — Aigoo, thank you! Thank you so much! “Reporter Hyun, I am in the middle of something right now.

I’ll hang up first.” — Of course! I’ll wait for your news! Have a good day, Mr.

Ha! Ha Jae-Gun smiled and hung up.

Just then, Lee Soo-Hee had come back from the kitchen after preparing refreshments for the two.

Just then, Ha Jae-Gun recalled Lee Soo-Hee’s favorite program, and it allowed him to finally resolve the dilemma.
