Chapter 27 - To the train station [3]

Holding in her rising anger, Jiwoo took a deep breath, and forcing out a friendly expression on her face, she vocalised, "I will be heading off to the washroom to get myself cleaned up."

"Alright, I am sorry again," he voiced out, "I will be getting the tickets while you wash that up. You can give me your backpack. They would be a hassle for you. I will be waiting for you outside. You can get the directions from that board."

Staring at the purse in her hand and her backpack, she removed them and decided to hand them over to Sookyung. Going over with them to the bathroom will be difficult for her.

"Here," she said while he accepted them from her.

Turning her back on him, then she began to walk towards the bathroom as a Sookyung's lips curved to form a slight smirk.

°°°

Walking outside of the building, she looked at her either side and tried to search for Oh Sookyung. She recalled that her phone was inside the bag, and there was no way of calling him. She did not remember his phone number either.

Spotting a man with a blue t-shirt, Jiwoo made her way towards him, taking that to be Oh Sookyung. He stood behind one of the walls, and she should bȧrėly make out his figure from where she was standing.

As she was about to call for him, his voice caused her to halt in her steps, and since her hearing abilities have been amplified, hearing conversation from this distance did not come off as a surprise to her.

"How much cash is inside that bag?" A voice questioned.

Finding that voice to be unfamiliar, Jiwoo turned her head slightly to get a glimpse of that person. A man, seeming to be in late thirties, stood opposite to Sookyung, and his shaggy appearance made Jiwoo scrunch up her nose.

Sookyung let out a sigh and voiced out, "Nothing much. Just couple of thousands of won. I can't believe that she actually planned to travel to Seoul with such a small amount. This is a disappointment."

"You have been fooled," Minnie commented.

Jiwoo clearly understood what Minnie meant by those words, and as anger rose within Jiwoo, she clenched her hand into a tight fist.

As she has been planning on entering into the entertainment agency with this, she felt disheartened at the news, causing this to increase her anger, and there was no way she was going to let of this matter this easily.

The other man vocalised, "Well, it is more unbelievable how she handed you her bag so readily. Is she some idiot?"

"Idiot or not— that is none of my business. This was a easy task, and you're not getting a single won out of this. Earn your own money," Sookyung said.

"Hey! At least treat me to some drinks," the other man voiced out.

"No way! This amount is already too less, and I am not sharing it with the likes of you. You are such a disappointment," Sookyung commented as he walked away from that place.
