Chapter 164: 163

It had been a long time since he moved, dressed in a suit that fit his body, and got into the car. They were attending a meeting that would start an hour later at the guild management headquarters.

Recalling the time when a new SS-grade gate appeared six months ago, Lee Joo-ha glanced at Ha Tae-heon, who was sitting next to her.

No one knew when or where the new gate would originally appear, but this time, it was different. It was thanks to Ha Tae-heon’s story about the prophet.

A new gate would appear in Korea, and it would belong to Roheon without any problems. When she first heard the prophet’s words that the source of the coat would then be resolved, she was seriously worried that the moving Ha Tae-heon might be ill.

She guessed that’s why he came into the guild and said that even before the vacation he had spent on it was over. And with a scary face as if angry.

‘It’s been a few days and he still looks upset.’

Since Ha Tae-heon had no emotional ups and downs, it was quite unfamiliar to see him in such a poor condition. Lee Joo-ha, who looked at him worriedly, opened her mouth and spoke in a friendly voice.

“Everything will be fine, Tae-heon-ah.”

“…yes.”

Ha Tae-heon nodded his head while forcibly straightening his frown in her gentle comfort.

The car that arrived at the management headquarters stopped. Broadcasting officials, who were waiting for the meeting participants, found Lee Joo-ha and Ha Tae-heon then burst out with flashlights.

“Master Roheon!”

“How are you feeling now?”

“The last SS-grade gate was stolen by Requiem, but this time…!”

“Master Lee Joo-ha!”

The appearance of the gate had always caused a commotion. Lee Joo-ha and Ha Tae-heon, who entered the headquarters hall safely while the bodyguards blocked the pouring of reporters, stopped walking towards the elevator.

A tall man in a dark blue suit was standing there. Lee Joo-ha, who blinked a few times in embarrassment, blocked Ha Tae-heon in front of him and pretended to know him first.

“Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

“It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you. Master Lee Joo-ha.”

Lee Joo-ha, who hesitated to hold the large hand extended to her, looked up at him slowly.

A pale, pure white face, could be seen under the black hair. The softly stretched eyes and slightly raised lips were still beautiful, but the cheeks went in a bit as if he had lost some weight, and the black under his eyes gave him a sharper impression than before.

‘Earring?’

Lee Joo-ha, who had been looking at Cheon Sa-yeon with an anxious mind, finally stayed in Cheon Sa-yeon’s ear. It wasn’t an ordinary earring. Cheon Sa-yeon, who realized what Lee Joo-ha was looking at, finished shaking hands with a smile.

“You will get a new gate. Congratulations in advance.”

“Isn’t that something you still don’t know?”

“Is that so? It seems to me that it is confirmed with a high probability.”

Lee Joo-ha narrowed her eyes as if suspiciously. As the last gate was SS-grade, she thought Requiem would be targeting this gate as well, just in case.

Was he thinking about it? No, Cheon Sa-yeon wasn’t like that. Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon faced each other with Lee Joo-ha, who was in confusion, in between.

Ha Tae-heon raised one eyebrow, noticing that the black eyes staring at him were cold, unlike his mouth with a light smile.

“Master Lee Joo-ha.”

“What is it?”

“Would you like to go up first? I have something to talk to with Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon.”

Lee Joo-ha looked at Ha Tae-heon behind her. Ha Tae-heon, who she knew would ignore it, nodded his head surprisingly.

“I will follow you soon.”

“…I got it.”

Lee Joo-ha, who looked at Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon as if she couldn’t understand them, finally got on the elevator and went up to the conference room first. Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon, who were left alone in the spacious hall, faced each other at a certain distance.

“You must have had a pretty long vacation.”

Cheon Sa-yeon was the first to speak. Ha Tae-heon stared at him silently without any reaction.

“Right. How was your first vacation? Why don’t you brag a little.”

“Well.”

Brag. At that word, Ha Tae-heon smiled very slowly, but surely, raising the corners of his lips.

“Isn’t it always fun to travel with good people?”

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon rarely said anything and kept his mouth shut. The air surrounding the two of them subsided even colder.

“Yeah. That’s right.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who gave an answer after a while, changed the subject.

“I have one suggestion about this gate.”

“Suggestion?”

“Don’t get me wrong and listen.”

Soon, Cheon Sa-yeon lowered his voice and continued to explain. Ha Tae-heon, who had been listening quietly, twisted his brow slightly.

“If I do that, what’s the benefit will I get?”

“I’ll help you so that to make sure there are no casualties.”

“Why are you talking about this to me, not Master?”

“If I sincerely persuade you, I think Master Lee Joo-ha will also approve it.”

At the soft words, Ha Tae-heon made an openly annoyed expression on his face. Like it or not, Cheon Sa-yeon’s eyebrows curled up with a sign of no concern.

“Then I know you will accept it.”

He just said what he had to say and turn his back neatly. Ha Tae-heon, who was looking at Cheon Sa-yeon’s back walking in front of him with a frown, opened his mouth.

“Is that all?”

“What do you mean?”

“You have something more to ask. Isn’t it?”

Cheon Sa-yeon’s stride came to a halt for a moment. Ha Tae-heon, who had been quietly waiting for a reaction, reflexively clenched his fist in gentle energy.

“Hm…”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who took a long breath while touching his lips, captured the energy that he had let out without knowing it.

“Oh, my. I’m sorry.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who turned his body again and met Ha Tae-heon’s gaze, smiled like a picture.

“Do you remember what I said before?”

“……”

“I said back then to make a bet on who gets a leash around the dog’s neck first.”

Along with his unpleasant memories of that time, he recalled his past actions that were driven by Han Yi-gyeol to the ground and being swayed by Cheon Sa-yeon. (천사연에게 휘둘려 한이결을 몰아세웠던 자신의지난 행동이 떠올랐다)

Ha Tae-heon chewed on the inside of his innocent mouth, his mind became complicated in an instant.

“It seems to me that we both failed.”

“…failed?”

“Isn’t it? I missed it, and you… it looks like you’re abandoned.”

Ha Tae-heon’s eyes shook slightly at the words that he had been abandoned.

Cheon Sa-yeon, noticing it without missing it, smiled lightly as if he knew it would and resumed the stopped step.

“Let’s stop. If the two of us are late for the meeting together, it will be worth seeing.”

Seeing Cheon Sa-yeon pressing the elevator button, Ha Tae-heon sighed with a tired face.

“Master Lee Joo-ha~”

A familiar voice came from behind Lee Joo-ha, who was just about to enter the conference room. As expected, the protagonist with a bright and cheerful voice was Hong Si-ah.

“Did you come first?”

“Honey, I was waiting for you.”

Hong Si-ah, winking with one of her eyes, put her arm around Lee Joo-ha’s shoulder and opened the door to the conference room instead.

“But why are you alone? What about Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon?”

“Downstairs. He has something to talk about with Master Cheon Sa-yeon.”

“Huung.”

“Did Master Hong Si-ah come alone? Deputy Master Kim Na-yul seems to be busy.”

“She’s in the gate now. I tried not to send her… You know, we’re lacking hands these days.”

Hong Si-ah, who answered with a joke, took a seat, unbuttoning the beige suit jacket she was wearing.

“Is that bad?”

“Hmm. I would like to hire more people, but even when I try to recruit them, there aren’t enough people who can be used…”

Hong Si-ah, who was grumbling with her chin on her arms, immediately smiled and asked Lee Joo-ha as if brushing off her troubles.

“How about Roheon? The gate that was handed over from Blun Guild. Is everything done?”

“We are still there. But we’re barely doing it.”

“Everyone must be in a similar situation.”

“It wasn’t easy to put additional gates in the already set schedule.”

As soon as Lee Joo-ha finished answering, the door to the conference room opened then Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon entered.

“Welcome, celebrities.”

Cheon Sa-yeon turned away from Hong Si-ah, who greeted him by waving her hand softly, with his expressionless face and Ha Tae-heon lightly bowed his head.

“Anyway, being ignored is a daily thing.”

When Hong Si-ah glared at Cheon Sa-yeon sitting opposite her and said a word, Cheon Sa-yeon tilted his head slightly and said shamelessly.

“I wouldn’t do that.”

“You also ignored my last contact.”

“Because it was worth ignoring.”

“Contact?”

When Lee Joo-ha asked, wondering if she had contacted Cheon Sa-yeon for some reason, Hong Si-ah began to complain to Lee Joo-ha and Ha Tae-heon, who was sitting next to her, as if she had done well.

“I contacted him because I had something to ask about Talented Han Yi-gyeol’s job, but he ignored my messages and phone calls!”

“Doesn’t Talented Han Yi-gyeol have a cell phone?”

“It’s been a while since I sent that one, but he hasn’t read it… Master Cheon Sa-yeon read it and ignored them.”

Ha Tae-heon intervened in the conversation between the two with a hard voice.

“Why are you looking for Talented Han Yi-gyeol?”

“Ung? I don’t really have a big business, just wondering if he’s doing well? Soo-yeon is curious about it a lot. Even if she contact him, there’s no reply.”

Ha Tae-heon remembered the forgotten Cha Soo-yeon. He was close to not only Requiem but also Jayna Guild. Thinking like this, there were a lot of people who knew Han Yi-gyeol.

When Ha Tae-heon, who clicked his tongue inside, was about to open his mouth, Cheon Sa-yeon intercepted the answer.

“Oh, no. Yi-gyeol left his seat due to circumstances now. If that’s the reason, send it back later. I’ll pass it on him.”

“Oh my, left his seat?”

With a surprised face, Hong Si-ah blinked her eyes.

“Where did he go so I can’t contact him?”

“He went to China.”

This time, the answer was Ha Tae-heon. The faces of Hong Si-ah and Lee Joo-ha, who was looking at Cheon Sa-yeon, turned to the side at the same time.

“If it’s Cha Soo-yeon-ssi, I know her well, so I’ll contact her after the meeting is over.”

“No.”

Hong Shia and Lee Joo-ha’s faces turned forward again.

“I will, I will deliver it to him. Because I’m Yi-gyeol’s guardian.”

“The three of us have met together several times. When Han Yi-gyeol returns, I will call Cha Soo-yeon-ssi and make a seat for her.”

Hong Si-ah and Lee Joo-ha, feeling something strange, shared their eyes with each other.

“Well. When Yi-gyeol arrives in Korea, he will come to see me first. If she wants to be contacted quickly, I recommend you to tell me.”

“No, that…”

“That doesn’t seem certain.”

“We’ll find out later.”

“Are you both listening to me?”

Sharp energy flowed out of Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon’s bodies at the same time. Hong Si-ah and Lee Joo-ha, who were watching the atmosphere in the meeting room that quickly became harsh, opened their mouths as if they were dumbfounded.

Tension rose as the airflow was pulled tight like a thread that would break at any moment. It was the moment when the corners of Cheon Sa-yeon’s lips went up and Ha Tae-heon’s eyebrows twitched.

Bang!

“You are all here.”

The conference room door swung open and Choi Mi-jin and the headquarters staff rushed in. Choi Mi-jin, who looked around the meeting room where the strange silence fell, frowned slightly.

“…what is it?”

“Nothing.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who quickly lost his energy, shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to know. Choi Mi-jin, who had only grown suspicious of his casual behaviour, asked again.

“What kind of accident did you cause?”

“Accident. I’m sad to hear that, Head of Centre Choi Mi-jin.”

“……”

Choi Mi-jin, who had been staring at Cheon Sa-yeon for a while, turned her head with a sigh.

“Well, All right. We’re busy, so let’s stop chatting and get to work.”

Choi Mi-jin, who put down the papers she was holding on the desk opposite them, sat down and beckoned to the staff.

“Let’s start the meeting.”
