281. (HOT!) A Super Scandal Between the Top 1st and 2nd Ranked in Korea!

 

“….”

 

Seeing Junghyo’s worried face, Han Woohyun scooped up a piece of cake with his fork and held it out to her.

 

“….?”

 

What are you doing?

 

Junghyo looked at Han Woohyun with a bewildered expression.

 

Why are you holding a fork up in the air?

 

“Ah.”

 

“….?!”

 

Junghyo flinched and stepped back.

 

Of course, she has been in a few relationships, but I’ve never had someone feed me in a place this crowded.

 

‘I’m not a kid.’

 

Junghyo lightly waved her hand to decline, but Han Woohyun, either not understanding or pretending not to, simply held out the fork with a composed expression.

 

She heard the murmuring voice of the women’s association president at the table right next to them.

 

“Being young is nice…”

 

The man sitting across from them, who must have heard that as well, showed no signs of agitation.

 

Was he always this thick-skinned?

 

She can’t tell.

 

She had always thought that Han Woo-hyun had a rather blunt personality during their three years in high school, but after they reunited, she realized that was just a misunderstanding.

 

He was someone with a kind personality. After they started dating, she came to realize that within that kindness was a deep sense of tenderness.

 

More sensitive than she expected… and pure…

 

‘And sometimes, it makes me have bad thoughts…’

 

Ahem.

 

Well, anyway.

 

Starting this Christmas, she decided to pursue a public relationship with Han Woohyun as they began dating again.

 

It was more about not hiding anything rather than aiming for a public relationship.

 

‘I think the kids know. That we’re dating.’

 

Of course, she was quite embarrassed when Han Woohyun said this to her with a troubled expression.

 

That… uh… the girl whose name she couldn’t remember, who had asked Han Woohyun out on a date and went up with him in full view of everyone, but now, suddenly, he was feeling awkward about it?

 

It was probably because, in South Korea, Han Woohyun held a status closer to that of a celebrity.

 

When he was at Baekho, he even hesitated to show his face.

 

‘If it’s difficult, should I say no?’

 

That was why Junghyo asked like this.

 

Junghyo didn’t particularly mind either way, but Han Woohyun might find the attention overwhelming.

 

It hadn’t been that long since the scandal.

 

‘I’ll say it’s not true. I’ll go and explain it myself…’

 

‘Do you want to say no?’

 

 

Han Woohyun’s expression hardened in an instant.

 

‘I don’t really have any thoughts about it.’

 

She never thought about boasting about her relationship, but she also never considered hiding it.

 

The expression on Junghyo’s face was indifferent, as that was the extent of her thoughts on the matter.

 

‘I… think it’s best if you do what’s comfortable for you, but…’

 

But it wasn’t for Han Woohyun.

 

He stammered with an anxious look on his face.

 

‘I sometimes….’

 

‘Sometimes?’

 

Junghyo, not knowing whether he was trying to hide his face or if it was just itchy, unconsciously grabbed Han Woohyun’s large hand—half-covering his face—and gently pulled it down.

 

At times like this, Junghyo could easily understand a guest’s feelings by using mind communication, but she had decided not to use that skill on Han Woohyun.

 

‘I want to brag about you.’

 

When he lowered his hand, his cheeks turned red.

 

‘You’re too much for me… Sometimes, I want to do that.’

 

Seeing his clenched jaw, Junghyo couldn’t help but feel helpless.

 

‘I can’t help but have impure thoughts again… It’s always just me.’

 

‘I’ve been curious since early this morning about when you were going to tell me.’

 

The next morning, when Junghyo came to greet them while holding Han Woohyun’s hand in the lounge, Choi Minji said with a guilty expression.

 

‘I’m sorry… I was the one spreading the Han Woohyun scandal… I was the trash. I’ll quit social media…’

 

‘I don’t think you’ll be able to quit SNS.’

 

She received a light apology, but soon the tables were turned, and she had to face an interrogation herself.

 

When did you start dating, who liked you first, what did you like so much about her?

 

Han Woohyun’s head and face felt like they were going to burst from the questions that followed, but surprisingly, Han Woohyun answered everything as if he had been waiting for it.

 

‘About a year.’

 

‘Me first.’

 

‘She’s cool, pretty, smart, and perfect at everything.’

 

‘Junghyo is my first love.’

 

She could hear the cheers of the kids around her, and Junghyo’s face gradually turned red—

 

Choi Minji groaned.

 

‘Ah, Junghyo is Han Woohyun’s first love, and I was the one who set up Lee Junghyo’s blind date… I see… I’m the only trash here.’

 

After a long round of questioning and once all her friends had left, not only were there entertainment news reports—

 

(HOT!) A Super Scandal Between the Top 1st and 2nd Ranked in Korea!

 

Eyewitness accounts also appeared on SNS.

 

Title: ㅎㅇㅎ At the hotel…

 

I succeeded in getting a ticket on Clss and went to Yeongchun Hotel, and there, HWH kept looking at the hotel owner’s table, so I thought he were just wondering where the bathroom was…….

 

I wanted to go there and tell him where the bathroom was…

 

[Comment]

 

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ so dumb like puppy, so cute…….

 

-The fact that he kept looking the whole time is seriously making my heart flutterㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

└They’re even high school classmates

 

└└ㅠㅠㅠYouth dramas are so catchy…

 

Of course.

 

They were holding hands in the hotel, so people around them couldn’t help but see.

 

So of course, they had expected a scandal at the very least.

 

Even when the scandal broke out, the members of the baby Junghyo fans weren’t as angry as they expected.

 

Everyone reacted as if they expected it, and even Hwang Misoon, who has been quite prickly towards Han Woohyun lately, said this to Han Woohyun.

 

‘I’m Junghyo’s aunt now, you know? So that makes you something like a nephew-in-law. You’re coming to bow on Lunar New Year, right?’

 

‘You should come, you should come. Our Mikyung will be waiting too.’

 

‘Guess I’ll have to give you a lot of New Year’s money then.’

 

Kim Junsoo and Moon Heeyoung were the same.

 

Even Han Minhyuk.

 

‘Let’s spend this Lunar New Year at Pyeongchang-dong.’

 

Because of the memories of seeing the young Han Woohyun at Gyeongseong Hotel, his reactions had become more sensitive, but Junghyo had no way of knowing that.

 

Until now, Han Woohyun had been thought of as a sly guy who showed up to steal Junghyo away, but that impression had been offset by his adorable childhood self—elevating his status to simply one of Junghyo’s friends.

 

‘Yes. I will definitely go.’

 

Han Woohyun knew well that it wasn’t quite the same as truly being acknowledged as a nephew-in-law, but the warmth carried by the mere suggestion that he come greet them during the holidays filled his chest.

 

It felt like they were family.

 

‘You don’t have to come if you’re busy.’

 

Junghyo spoke in flustered surprise, but Han Woohyun was quite firm in his stance.

 

Thanks to that, the scandal led to an “official confirmation,” and their relationship set all of South Korea abuzz. Having received a flood of messages from people who had quietly suspected their romance, the two were now comfortably enjoying their date.

 

‘But it’s not like this in front of the elders…!’

 

Junghyo quickly pushed Han Woohyun’s fork away with her hand.

 

“I have a fork too….”

 

As she was lowering her head and picking at the cake with her fork, Han Woohyun’s fork flew up.

 

“…?”

 

“Ah.”

 

“What are you doing?”

 

“Airplane.”

 

Why is this kid acting like this?

 

As Junghyo blinked up at him, Han Woohyun let out a laugh like a deflated balloon and said. 

 

“My arm hurts…”

 

So what do you want me to do?

 

Junghyo glared at Han Woohyun, thinking just that, but since he clearly had no intention of pulling his hand back, she just hurriedly took the bite.

 

She decided to ignore the applause coming from the village chief’s table nearby.

 

Han Woohyun smiled shyly at Junghyo, whose face was red.

 

“Can you send me the pictures from when you were little again?”

 

“Isn’t that the one that was posted in the group chat for fans back then? I told you to delete it, so I deleted it.”

 

The sight of young Junghyo crying after falling over on sports day, with Kim Junsoo crying alongside her—

 

The image of Junghyo all curled up in fear at the observation deck she went up to with Hwang Misoon, or—

 

Photos of young Junghyo looking adorable in a swim cap adorned with a flower bigger than her own head.

 

Thinking about it like this, Junghyo couldn’t help but feel that the photo Uncle Junsoo had planned to hand out on Christmas wasn’t even that bad in comparison.

 

“I want to see it again.”

 

Han Woohyun reached out and wiped the cream off Junghyo’s lips with his finger—just like one would do to a small child.

 

Junghyo looked at Han Woohyun with wide eyes. When Han Woohyun brought the cream to his own lips and licked it off, Junghyo flinched and exclaimed in alarm.

 

“It’s dirty.”

 

“It’s sweet.”

 

“…What?”

 

Junghyo’s face crumpled as she watched Han Woohyun laugh.

 

“You’re teasing me right now, aren’t you?”

 

“Mhm.”

 

The answer is plain.

 

“Why are you teasing me?”

 

“I’m just… upset.”

 

What’s upsetting?

 

Junghyo’s face crumpled again.

 

“I wasn’t there during your childhood. That’s what bothers me.”

 

He really talks nonsense.

 

Junghyo thought Han Woohyun was acting a bit strange as she stood up from her seat.

 

“I’ll get my bag and come out, wait a minute.”

 

The main reason was that it was hard to endure the sharp gazes of the residents without leaving the spot.

 

Whether he knew or not about Junghyo’s feelings, Han Woohyun quietly sat and petted the Samsaek cat.

 

“Are you leaving now? Finally, the damn couple is disappearing.”

 

At that moment, Merlin Grey, who had finished serving the table next to him, smiled at him.

 

Han Woohyun slightly crumpled his face.

 

The new foreigner who had appeared at the hotel was strangely fluent in Korean and strangely…

 

“Human emotions are so complicated and subtle. Why are you pretending to lose your memories?”

 

He said strange things often.

 

‘….’

 

Han Woohyun stared at Merlin quietly.

 

“I just don’t want to bring up memories that hurt Junghyo. You’ll cooperate, right?”

 

He didn’t really intend to respond formally to the informal speech.

 

“Seriously… really… You don’t know much about your own girlfriend, do you?”

 

Han Woohyun’s face crumpled even more.

 

So does that mean he knows better?

 

At that moment when he was so shocked that he even felt mild anger, Merlin put his finger in the air and drew something.

 

Skill Preview (NEW!): You can use ‘Mind Communication (B)’ for 24 hours. Would you like to use it?

 

Y / N

 

Then he smiled and said.

 

“Now that I’ve become a 5-star hotel employee, I have so much power that I might be able to do this too! It’s a gift for the boss, because I’m so thankful. Hehe.”

 

What do you mean hehe…

 

Demon King

 

This is really annoying.

 

It was a smile that could even annoy the Demon King.
