“Please get on, director-nim! Block, block it! Make it disappear!”

Jachung hurriedly began to command the bodyguards and attendants.

While Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajung were guided and moved, Leeha and Kijung were also forcibly (?) dragged by their hands.

“W-wait a minute- why am I-”

“W-who’s pushing my wheelchair?”

“The wheelchair won’t roll!”

The physical struggle did not last long.

As soon as Jachung’s skillful command began, the traffic line from the airport to the vehicle was organized in an instant.

After Ram Hwajung ran to Leeha and hugged him, they were all able to board the reinforced van within 5 minutes.

‘Van? Isn’t it almost like a limousine?’

The huge vehicle was perfectly tinted, so the inside could not be seen from the outside.

The driver’s skill to get out of the airport as soon as the door was closed was also not normal.

“I’ll take you to the inspection site right away.”

“Okay, do that.”

Jachung looked at the passenger and said. Additionally, two attendants and bodyguards each sat on the last row, Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajung sat in opposite seats next to the door, and Leeha and Kijung sat opposite them.

In other words, Leeha and Kijung were placed in the car with the most important people related to the Ram Long group’s trip to Korea.

“Huuu…… I don’t like going around to Asian countries like this. Wasn’t it surprising?”

Ram Hwayeon tucked her auburn hair behind her ears and fanned her hand.

It wasn’t just because of they were Hong Kong’s largest chaebol group.

Needless to say, their looks played a part.

“Ah, oh- what is this…”

“Haha, that was intense- our first meeting. N-nice to meet you.”

“Huh? Come to think of it, I thought you were an assistant, but aren’t you the master of Byulcho?”

“Yes, it just…… happened that way. Oh, long time no see, Ram Hwayeon-nim, Ram Hwajung-nim.”

Kijung was getting intimidated next to Leeha.

The difference between Middle Earth and reality in terms of class was much heavier than he expected.

“Where would I get an attendant? I’m not like you.”

However, it only applied to Kijung. On the contrary, Leeha felt more comfortable.

Hearing that, Ram Hwayeon quickly nodded and changed the topic.

“Hey, by the way, this is what you meant by uncomfortable? Are you very uncomfortable?”

“Huh? Hmm- it’s numb. My entire lower body.”

“Huh…”

Ram Hwayeon looked at Leeha’s legs with a curiuos expression.

Her eyes were so wide that even Kijung, who was next to Leeha, could see Leeha for a moment.

If Shin Nara was different from ordinary women, Ram Hwayeon was different in another meaning.

“Can it be fixed?”

“Yes. The doctors said that there was a chance if I had surgery. Ah! It will be much easier thanks to you, Ram Hwayeon.”

“Indeed… So that’s why you’ve been playing Middle Earth nonstop without logging out. It wouldn’t be too much to cash in on that huge growth tax. No, didn’t you collect it already? Isn’t the settlement money from Castle Dale not enough?”

“That’s not it. Since it is a surgery in Germany, it would cost at least two billion won, I don’t have the specific estimate, but the cost should have risen over time. The difficulty of the operation must have increased.”

“Is it a famous doctor?”

“The hospital said that they would write a letter of recommendation, but I don’t know. All I can remember is that it is in the biggest hospital in Germany. I think they mentioned Heinrich-.”

Ram Hwayeon calmly asked, and Leeha also calmly answered.

“Heinrich…”

Ram Hwayeon’s expression made a slight flinch, which Leeha caught but did not pay attention to.

‘Well, that must be the natural reaction.’

However, Leeha could not figure out exactly what she was thinking.

“Cough! Thanks for coming out anyway. No, isn’t it only natural for you to come out?”

“What are you talking about?. Isn’t my time precious too?”

When Leeha shrugged his shoulder, Ram Hwayeon smiled.

Seeing Leeha’s face made her smile. It was a smile that stemmed from more than a simple joy.

“-Therefore, these area is an international business district, and urban planning is already planned, so there is a proposal to approach it as a luxury business hotel rather than a recreational resort. If the director makes a decision-”

“So, so? You killed all of the Demon King’s agents? Did you also get an achievement?”

“It wasn’t bad. I didn’t do it alone anyway. As you already know-”

Leeha looked at Ram Hwayeon, then looked beside her.

A girl with blue-black hair sat next to Ram Hwayeon.

Perhaps it was because of her black hair, unlike her blue hair in Middle Earth, her calmness and coldness were more difficult to distinguish.

However, it was only a feeling related to the impression, and in the eyes of the girl looking at Leeha, the heat that offset all the atmosphere rather erupted.

“-Ram Hwajung also played a big role.”

“It’s because of oppa.”

“Huh, what?”

Noone could understand Ram Hwajung’s words which left out the most important part of the sentence which was, ‘If it was someone else I wouldn’t have gone so far.’

Ram Hwayeon nodded her head with a bitter smile when she understood her sister’s words.

“Tsk, there are benefits to hard work. At the very least, Hwajung and our guild should be part of the new continent expedition. Can you take responsibility?”

“W-what are you talking about? I-I am not going to be selecting the members.”

“Anyway, I believe you.”

“……Director-nim, did you hear me?”

“Yes, I heard you. I have already seen the documents. Choosing between the first and second candidates. I know, and even at this time, I am still monitoring the mood, so don’t worry.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Her ‘don’t worry’ had the same nuance as ‘don’t interrupt me at this precious time’.

“Ah, come to think of it, Ram Hwayeon, weren’t you focusing on Middle Earth? I don’t know- well……  I have seen articles before.”

Leeha had the same question as the reporters at the airport, but with a different intention. And Ram Hwayeon was someone that knew the difference well.

“You know it. Then I guess you can think of the reason. How is it?”

She kept smiling ever since she got into the van.

Like Ram Hwajung, her atmosphere was quite different just because of her hair color in Middle Earth and reality was different.

After looking at her for a moment, Leeha opened his mouth.

“Hmm……. It must be obvious. In Middle Earth, Hwahong owns 6 castles and cities. It must have a huge cash flow of profits. What is the breakeven point? I think you’ve already broken even. In recognition of the group’s achievements, did you gain another… authority?

“Nice, oppa.”

Clap, clap, clap.

Ram Hwajung clapped her hands, and Ram Hwayeon didn’t bother to answer and only smiled.

In such an atmosphere, Kijung only played with his phone pretending like he was not there.

Kijung would have jumped up if he knew what Leeha was talking about.

“Then where should we go now? Ha Leeha-nim.”

Jachung’s voice dampened Leeha’s excitement.

It felt serious.

In Middle Earth, he was quite close to Leeha and got a lot of help, but the feeling in reality was different.

He truly was a high level manager of a huge group of company.

A private teacher and aide who marks Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajung 1:1.

The force emanating from his absolute ability to handle tasks, and the sleek suit that did not look like a middle-aged man, were enough to make it difficult for Leeha.

“Ah, yes- Jachung-nim, hmm…… I found a place.”

“Where! hmm- what, this?! Isn’t this a guide?! A steak restaurant?”

“W-we have to go to a place like this at least! I have been looking for a long time- no, can you give it back?”

“Heng, it’s okay. I don’t need any of this!”

Ram Hwayeon tore the guide she snatched from Leeha to pieces.

Leeha’s eyes went wide.

“I could eat something like this everyday. I want something better. This is not what I want Ha Leeha.”

Leeha’s whole body slouched.

Seeing her provocative attitude, Leeha changed his mind immediately.

 “Good. Good, good I know what you want. You won’t regret it, right?”

“Do you think I will regret it?”

“Okay. Kijung!”

“Oh, ohh?!”

“Let’s go to the neighborhood to eat tteokbokki. With a lot of yaki dumplings.”

It literally meant to guide them to places where people can eat. Ram Hwayeon and Ha Leeha were definitely people who understood each other.

‘Get me off…… I will take the bus!’

Kijung, sitting next to Leeha, was sitting in a seat of thorns.

***

“Auntie, one order of tteokbokki-”

“Shh, shhh! You kids, leave.”

“Whose inside?”

“You will get in trouble if you ask things like that! Leave!”

The lady at the tteokbokki restaurant waiting outside the store quickly kicked 

out the approaching elementary school students.

The small tteokbokki restaurant, less than 5 pyeong, was all occupied because Leeha’s group rented it out.

Not to mention the overwhelming physique of the two bodyguards standing in front of the entrance…… the auntie at the tteokbokki restaurant, not knowing who they were, did her best to protect the kids.

“Hmm! Spicy! But delicious! What’s this!? Is this sold in the night market?”

“Water.”

“Cough, it’s a bit of a stretch to call these ‘dumplings’. Compared to xiao long bao-”

“You’ra talking about xiao long bao while eating 300 won yaki dumplings. Now, water here. Tteokbokki is delicious even if you eat it with pickled radish and kimchi.”

In that small store, Leeha and Kijung were like the owners and hosts. Watching them empty the delicious bowl of tteokbokki.

‘But we only talked about Middle Earth…… it we were just going to talk like this, couldn’t we have just done it in Middle Earth?’

It was different compared to when he met Shin Nara. Where do you live? What do you like? What did you do in the past? They talked a lot more about real life.

Leeha wondered if it was because of the distance between Hong Kong and Seoul, but it wasn’t the only thing.

In fact, there was something that Leeha didn’t know. That Jachung had already recited Leeha’s profile.

Ram Hwayeon already knew ‘almost everything’ about Leeha, so she did not ask.

“Oh, Leeha, I am about to be depressed-”

“Don’t talk when your mouth is full. Is that the dining etiquette of the eldest daughter of an international group?”

gulp, chew, gulp, chew.

“Yeah, am I not supposed to eat this way in a place like this? I can’t even eat anything I want outside.”

“Okay, so take it slow. You might get an upset stomach.”

“So, when are you going to get a surgery?”

“When what? I need to have money-”

riiiiing riiiing-! riiiiing riiiing-!

It was then that Jachung’s phone rang loudly. It was loud enough to startle everyone.

“Jachung?”

“This…… It is the chairman.”

“Phew, he can’t even leave me alone even for a second. Please.”

It was a number that only the chairman can reach. Ram Hwayeon took the phone with a rather dark expression.
