Chapter 51

He hated that person, and he knew that he would offer him the alcohol he hated.

But he was afraid of rejecting him, thinking that he was from the same department.

He thought that the damage could affect his work at the company.

She wanted to do better at her job.

“Kim Eun-young, you don’t look so good. Should we go back?”

“No, no, Assistant Manager. Please have a drink.”

“No, you should drink first.”

“I can’t drink well...”

“Hey, don’t refuse when I’m offering you.”

She couldn’t refuse properly for that reason.

Clatter.

Kim Eun-young took the glass of alcohol while looking at Yoo-hyun next to her.

He seemed to want to show a confident senior’s image in front of the new employee.

Then, Yoo-hyun’s hand moved right in front of her seat.

At the moment when she felt curious, Assistant Manager Go Jae-yoon said.

“Okay, one shot, no questions asked.”

Clang.

The glasses clashed, and Kim Eun-young drank the alcohol with a stiff expression.

‘Huh?’

But it was strange.

It was water, not soju.

When did it change?

“Wow, you drink well. Another one shot!”

Clang.

The same thing happened again.

Then she realized that Yoo-hyun had switched the glasses.

‘Thank you.’

‘You’re welcome.’

Eun-young, who realized that Yoo-hyun was playing the black knight, sent him a grateful look and drank again.

It was water again this time.

Then Assistant Manager Go Jae-yoon asked in surprise.

“Eun-young, you drink well today?”

“Yes.”

“Then why do you keep avoiding it? It would be nice if you listened well.”

Assistant Manager Go Jae-yoon snapped at Kim Eun-young as if he was talking to Yoo-hyun.

Then he turned his head and looked at Yoo-hyun.

He seemed to have a lot to say, but he held back because of the team leader at the next table.

Yoo-hyun picked up a bottle of alcohol with a good-natured smile.

“Manager, nice to meet you. Let me offer you a drink.”

“Shall we?”

Assistant Manager Go Jae-yoon accepted the drink and poured alcohol into Yoo-hyun’s beer glass.

The soju that filled half of the transparent beer glass swirled around.

“I’m pouring this much because I’m glad to see you.”

“Oh, I made a mistake. I’ll pour it again for you.”

Yoo-hyun handed him a beer glass of the same size with a surprised expression.

Clatter.

Then he poured soju into Assistant Manager Go Jae-yoon glass just like before. sorry. I didn’t pour enough for you.”

He also apologized sincerely.

Assistant Manager Kim Hyun-min, who was chatting at the next table and saw that scene, laughed out loud.

“Hahaha, Go Assistant Manager got hit hard.”

Then suddenly everyone’s attention was drawn to them.

It seemed like his pride would be hurt if he didn’t drink it in this situation where everyone could hear him.

Yoo-hyun took another step forward and faced Go Jaeyoon head-on.

Flinch.

He instinctively stepped back.

He was completely overpowered.

That’s when it happened.

Suddenly, a man appeared from the side and called out to Yoo-hyun in a hoarse voice.

“Oh, you finally came out. I almost missed you.”

Did he bring a thug because he couldn’t handle it himself?

Yoo-hyun looked at Go Jaeyoon with a contemptuous expression.

But his expression was strange.

He looked very flustered.

“Hey, don’t you remember me?”

Yoo-hyun quickly scanned the thug who pointed his finger at him.

He looked like he was in his late twenties.

He had a flashy tattoo under his black short-sleeved shirt, which made him look like a thug.

But there was something familiar about the wrinkles on his furrowed brow and forehead.

A con artist?

He remembered the man he met on the subway a while ago.

He wasn’t sure because he didn’t finish him off properly, but he didn’t expect him to show up like this.

But still, there was a CCTV right in front of the store. Didn’t he check that?

He either had a strong background or no brains at all.

Yoo-hyun was sure it was the latter as he looked at the guy who was frowning awkwardly and the two who were trying to act tough behind him.

Then Go Jaeyoon, who was trembling, raised his arms above his shoulders and said.

“I-I don’t know them.”

“Not you, old man. You, I’m talking to you!”

The thug waved his hand dismissively at Go Jaeyoon, who grabbed his shaky legs and backed away.

He had lost all his confidence and looked like a mouse in front of a cat.

He wasn’t even involved in this, but he was too scared to run away.

Yoo-hyun didn’t even bother to connect Go Jaeyoon and the thugs.

He chuckled and shrugged at the thugs.

“Well, who are you?”

“Well? Geez. Come on, follow me. We have a lot to talk about.”

“...”

Yoo-hyun said sarcastically to Go Jaeyoon, who was still shaking.

“Assistant Manager, you might get hurt if you stay here. I’ll take care of these thugs.”

“Wh-what? Wh...”

“Pfft, what a bastard. Don’t act tough and follow me. Before I get angry.”

The thug reached out his hand when it happened.

“Stop! Don’t come any closer... or you’ll get hurt.”

Yoo-hyun stretched out his palm and shouted in a strong tone.

It was such a childish move that even the thug flinched.

Go Jaeyoon was frozen and only blinked his eyes.

The thug was not a gangster at all.

He had little experience in intimidating anyone by the way he flinched at such a childish gesture.

He had a ridiculous motive for coming here.

Did he want to extort money by scaring him?

He approached a new employee who looked poor. It was nothing more than a simple ego boost.

He didn’t need to use any force to deal with such a guy.

But he thought he had to make it clear if he wanted to end this for good.

If he let it go too easily, they would come back for sure.

“What are you waiting for? Are you scared?”

“What did you say?”

The thug stopped at Yoo-hyun’s provocation.

In a narrow alleyway, in front of a garbage dump, three burly men in suits surrounded Yoo-hyun.

The thug who was a con artist was puzzled by Yoo-hyun’s relaxed attitude.

Usually when they extort money in this kind of alleyway, students and adults act the same way.

They beg for their lives and give up all the money in their pockets.

He thought this guy would be no different.

But his expectation was completely wrong.
