Chapter 164 - Totally shameless [2]

The current situation was much more annoying for Moon Jiwoo. Maybe she should have declined Oh Sookyung when the male wanted to sit beside her because the situation right now wasn't something she wanted to deal with.

With Oh Sookyung on her one side and Youngjae on her other, she could only stare at Yura to plead for help with her eyes. But it didn't seem as if the girl got the indication until now or even if she got it, she was trying to ignore it on purpose.

The temperature inside the restaurant was already high enough and with both of them seated beside her, she started to find herself sweating. Heat was one of those things she loathed, and she did not want to turn red due to high temperature.

But it appeared that neither of the male was getting a clue to how uncomfortable she was or even if they got it, they did not care about how she felt at that moment.

Both of them glared at each other subtly while eating the food while sitting in between of both of them was starting to make her nervous. If this continued, Moon Jiwoo believed that she would be exploding due to the anger blooming within her.

What did the two of them take her as?

Probably it would be wise for her to get up instead of both of them since neither of them was planning to stand. Since both of them preferred their company this much, it would be for the best if she did not interrupt and got up from there.

But before she was able to do that, Youngjae picked up a piece of meat from the grill using his chopsticks and placed it on top of her bowl. Then, he flashed her a smile, and she was envious of him to be able to smile at this situation.

"Noona, you bȧrėly ate anything. Don't be so reserved," he vocalised.

Moon Jiwoo wanted to correct himself and mention how it was not because of how she was reserved but rather due to how uncomfortable the situation was making her. However, since she knew how to be polite, she refrained herself from saying anything.

As Moon Jiwoo about to eat that piece of pork after smiling at Youngjae, the male on her other side ordered, "Pour me some beer."

As much as Jiwoo wanted to yell at him to do his work on his own, she wasn't that fond of creating a scene, and therefore, placing her chopsticks down, she was about to do as he ordered her before Youngjae stopped her by gripping on to her wrist.

Surprised by the male's action, Moon Jiwoo turned her head to face him, raising one of her eyebrows.

"Noona, you are forgetting one thing. You are currently not in your work place. That's why, you can reject him. You don't need to follow his words," he spoke out.

'Youngjae-ah, you do realize that you are creating more trouble for me. Seeing how petty Sookyung is, he will definitely take revenge for this at the work.'

But those words did not leave her mouth. She knew that Youngjae was doing this out of his care for Moon Jiwoo, and that was something she quite appreciated. Therefore, she did not say anything to warn or stop the boy.

After all, regardless of what one's age was, being cared for was really an amazing thing.

Oh Sookyung scoffed and poured himself a drink before raising his glass and drinking down the content in one gulp. His eyes glared at both of them while he did so.

Moon Jiwoo wanted to point out how none of this was her fault, and it was not as if she declined on pouring him a drink. It should be only Youngjae that the male should be glaring at.

But knowing that it would be too intimidating for the younger male to bear the fierce glare alone, Jiwoo, as an ȧduŀt, decided to share the burden of it as well with a smile on her face.

A thought of how the night was too long went through her. There was no way she would be able to leave first with how the situation was. It would be too rude of her to leave her boss with two strangers.

Moreover, she was careful about offending the male sitting beside her. After all, he was the one who held the final say to her rent for this month.

There was only one thing she could hope for right now. That was for the owner to close the shop. She wondered what was wrong with the owner to this place today. Usually, the old woman was eager to close the store early, but she couldn't see the sign of that happening today.

Finding the entire world to be against her, Moon Jiwoo decided to drink away all of her grievances. About the mistakes she created when she was drunk, Jiwoo did not care about it. Then again, most didn't think about the next day when they were this tempted to drink.

Instead of reaching out for the glass, she went for the entire bottle and started to drink the alcohol. Maybe getting drunk would be able to calm all of her nerves down because there was no chances of that happening while she was sober.

"Go easy, Noona," Youngjae said, "It is running away from you."

She was very tempted to glare at the male and voice out about how she was discontent with him. But to the very end, she kept her lips sealed unless it was to take a sip out of the drink.

'You jerk, it is because of you that I am drinking in the first place!'

No, this wasn't supposed to be Youngjae's fault. In fact, he tried to help her from Sookyung, and knowing how sweet the male was, she was sure that he did it because of Sookyung.

Turning her head to face the male on the other side, she raised her hand and pointed her index her finger at him. As the figure in front of her seemed blurry, she blinked her eyes multiple number of times so that she is able to take a clear view of him.

"You, Oh Sookyung, You bastard! I hate you! You son of—"

Before Moon Jiwoo was able to continue further, she felt a palm on top of her mouth, preventing her from speaking further, and the contact made her feel quite displeased. Frowns formed between both of her eyebrows due to it.

"Noona, as much as I want you to let all of your frustrations out, please don't do something you will be regretting tomorrow," he stated.

Moon Jiwoo let out her voice of protest, but it came out muffled due to his hand. That led her to turn her head and glare at the younger male. Being held like this was something she quite disliked, especially now that she had got a lot to say.

Youngjae then continued, "Since Noona is completely wasted right now, it would be for the best if she went home now. Then, Sookyung-ssi, I will be taking my leave with Noona. You can eat at here for as long as you like, and you, Yura, follow after me."

"So soon? I haven't even ate properly until now. You know for how long I have craved for this," Yura vocalised while a pout formed on her face.

"You glutton, you ate enough and you can eat it some other day. It is not as if you will never be able to taste it again," Youngjae said.

Hearing those words of his caused a sigh to escape from the girl's mouth, and looking down at the ground, she stood up. Her face showed how dissatisfied with how the things turned out to be.

Holding the girl with care, he stood up, and wrapping his hand around Jiwoo, he balanced the giggling girl.

But before he was able to start walking with Jiwoo, Sookyung gripped on to the girl's hand in order to stop her.

Noticing that, the male turned backwards and raised one of his eyebrows, waiting for an answer from Oh Sookyung.

Sookyung then said, "You can stay here to eat with Yura-ssi. I can take her home. I am in no mood for me to eat here at the first place."

At those words of his, the expression on Youngjae's face became grim and he vocalised, "There is no need for you to do that, and I don't think it would be proper for a strange to take her home."

"This is not the first time I am taking her home, and I am her boss."

A sparkle appeared in Yura's eyes while she stated, "Yeah, he is her boss. There is nothing wrong with Sookyung-ssi taking her home. You are overreacting! Now I can stay at here and eat."
