“Wait. I’ll go outside and answer the phone.”

 

He couldn’t let the other three guys here listen to Chairman Seong’s phone call. As soon as Baek Do-jun turned around and tried to go out toward the door, Yoo Yi-seo asked him.

 

“Who is it? Is it Eun-soo?”

 

“No.”

 

“Then whose phone is he trying to answer with such an urgent look?”

 

‘Was it obvious?’

 

He’s heard that the extreme dominant alpha has a very sensitive sense. He seemed to have noticed the subtle difference even though he managed his expression.

 

‘There’s nothing good about being caught.’

 

Yoo Yi-seo looked the most innocent and harmless person on the outside, but he was the most dangerous person. He was also the most money nut of the four. Baek Do-jun had seen people who were caught wrong by Yoo Yi-seo and had a bad end several times.

 

It wasn’t for Seong Chan-young. It was just… This was a very small favor to Seong Chan-young, who released himself unconditionally.

 

“Because my parents called me out of the blue. It’s been a long time since the four of us gathered, but it’s a little awkward to be disturbed at this time.”

 

“Hmm……. Sure.”

 

It was obvious that he was not convinced, but he drew his attention away from Baek Do-jun to see if he was no longer willing to bet on it. Do-jun walked out of the room where he was drinking with confidence and answered the phone.

 

“……Hello?”

 

[It’s me. Dojun-gun ^[1] 군 ‘gun’ is like Mr. It’s attached to names or surnames of young men to show a certain level of respect. .]

 

As soon as he accepted the phone call, he could hear Chairman Seong’s voice, giving a thick and intimidating atmosphere.

 

“Yes, Chairman Seong. How have you been?”

 

It was a common word to say hello out of courtesy, but Chairman Seong replied in a very unhappy voice.

 

[He can’t say hi. My grandson and your ex-fiancee, Chan-young, is gone.]

 

“…What?”

 

This was the first time he heard it. He can’t believe Seong Chan-young is gone. Disappearing quietly alone without even Chairman Seong realizing.

 

When Baek Do-jun lost his words due to the sudden news, Chairman Seong showed a more bullish attitude.

 

[…You didn’t know anything as well?]

 

“I’m new to the news that Seong Chan-young has disappeared. What happened?”

 

[Oh no, I’m calling because I thought you might know about Chan-young’s whereabouts. It seems I have got it all wrong. This is why it’s better to contact Secretary Choi again.]

 

Every word of Chairman Seong was incomprehensible to Baek Do-jun.

 

“Did Seong Chan-young get kidnapped somewhere?”

 

It was an excuse he said just in case, but it rather touched Chairman Seong’s uncomfortable feelings.

 

[Does your family name know Seong Eun Group by water? And does Chan-young look like someone who can be kidnapped easily? He was the one who wanted to kidnap someone, not the one to be kidnapped.]

 

“Ah… yes…… that’s true.”

 

It seemed like a reason not to be convinced, but he had no choice but to accept the numerous kidnappings that Seong Chan-young committed for Seo Eun-soo in the past.

 

“Then how in the world…… Is Seong Chan-young gone?”

 

[I can’t believe it either, but he said he wanted to farm and went away.]

 

“What?”

 

Farming? Farming where you plough and harvest various crops?

 

“That’s ridiculous. There’s no way Seong Chan-young would say that.”

 

He couldn’t imagine the tyrant Seong Chan-young, who was sensitive and capricious and even feisty, farming.

 

‘He looked a lot different when I last met him, but no way.’

 

Baek Do-jun knew him well as he was tied as a fiance by Seong Chan-young for a long time.

 

Seong Chan-young was an urban person who grew up in the city and would never refuse to live in the countryside. As a person who is 100 million light years away from farming can be proud to be Seong Chan-young, Baek Do-jun regarded Chairman Seong’s words as bizzare.

 

[You don’t think I’m senile, do you?]

 

“Never.”

 

Calculating such a possibility in his mind, Baek Do-jun’s consciousness slightly stabbed, as he calmly lied that he was not.

 

[I didn’t believe it at first either. I didn’t know that it was true that Chan-young was going to farm.]

 

“……Do you mean he really went farming?”

 

[Yes, the person who was Chan-young’s secretary said that. I heard it clearly with my ears.]

 

“Is he the one who made Seong Chan-young disappear?”

 

Rather than someone else saying that Seong Chan-young disappeared to farm, this was a more credible sound.

 

However, Chairman Seong became even more angry and screamed over his cell phone.

 

[Didn’t I say no?! Secretary Choi doesn’t have the guts to do that. He’s good at work, but he’s just an ordinary citizen.]

 

“That means…….”

 

[Chan-young really went to farm. The details of the receipt that Secretary Choi showed proved it.]

 

Above all, it was an important point that Seong Chan-young took one of the land documents that Chairman Seong handed over to real estate officials. It was something that no one would believe, but Seong Chan-young really left for farming.

 

“Seong Chan-young did… But why did you call me then?”

 

[Since you were his fiance, I thought Chan-young would have told you where he was going. I didn’t know he left without saying anything.]

 

The words made his heart throb.

 

‘You told your secretary, but you didn’t say anything to me at the last meal.’

 

On that day, Seong Chan-young’s business was only focused on breaking up the engagement. There was no interest in Baek Do-jun.

 

‘Is this why you said it was our last meal, Seong Chan-young?

 

Did you emphasize the end like that to never see me again?’

 

“No wonder, you are…..angry.”

 

[Yes, it’s something to be angry about. How can he keep it a secret from his family! He could be seriously sick!]

 

“…What?”

 

Following farming, another incredible story was told. He couldn’t believe Seong Chan-young is sick.

 

Is it too serious? Is that why he left so quickly after settling his engagement with him?

 

Fifty thousand negative thoughts swept through Baek Do-jun. He wanted to stamp his feet in anxiety.

 

If other Alpha guys heard this sound, they would snort, but Baek Do-jun became anxious. When Chairman Seong mentioned that Seong Chan-young could be sick, he couldn’t brush off the story.

 

“What do you mean by that? Please let me know the details.”

 

[There you go. You’re his fiancé yet you don’t know anything about Chan-young.]

 

“It’s….”

 

He couldn’t say anything. It was because he felt funny that he thought he knew well about Seong Chan-young until just now.

 

In fact, Baek Do-jun did not know anything about Seong Chan-young’s current whereabouts. He had no idea why Seong Chan-young decided to go down to farming or why he cut off contact with everyone and disappeared.

 

“……I’m sorry.”

 

[It became the sound of saying sorry. I know that. I heard from Secretary Choi that you and Chan-young didn’t get along well.]

 

“……you have come to know.”

 

During the engagement, he courted Seong Chan-yeong so as not to be discovered, but the fact that he was known so easily made him feel futile.

 

[Still, I think Chan-young maintained his engagement for a long time because he had a crush on you. I didn’t know until he came and told me that he had broken off his marriage……. I was contacting you with the slightest hope. I’m sorry, I’m disappointed.]

 

“……I’m sorry. Chairman Seong.”

 

That’s all he could say. It may be because the top of his head was white. Baek Do-jun’s spirit was tattered by a series of surprising news.

 

[That’s it then. It’s a relationship that has already been cut. I was holding onto the string of false hope.]

 

“…….”

 

[Take care, Do-jun gun. I won’t contact you again from now on.]

 

The line was cut off. Baek Do-jun stood in the hallway holding his cell phone in a daze.

 

“Why is the call so long? Did you make excuses to your parents?”

 

Chae Yoon-chan came out and touched Baek Do-jun. Normally, he would have removed his hand coldly not to touch it, but now Baek Do-jun’s head was full of thoughts of Seong Chan-young.

 

“……I’m going to go first. Tell Yoo Yi-seo and Ju Tae-kang that I’m going.”

 

“What? Hey, hey!”

 

Baek Do-jun grabbed his cell phone and ran toward his car.

 

Thinking that finding Seong Chan-young will solve this unknown anxiety.

Meanwhile, Seong Chan-young:

 

“Who is cursing at me? My ears are itching to death.”

 

I turned on the TV in my new house in peace, put the fresh vegetables I picked today in a stainless steel bowl, also known as a container, and threw a spoon of red pepper paste.

 

“There’s nothing that comes out of earwax, but did someone really swear at me?”

 

I searched the inside of my ear with an earpick, but it was clean. I tilted my head and removed the tissue to throw away alongside the earpick and focused on bibimbap with vegetables again.

 

“Hoohoo, I didn’t know there were bracken growing on the back mountain near my house. Got it.”

 

For exercise and refreshment purposes, I have been climbing mountains every day these days. Mountain climbing, which I used to do often with my parents in my original world, was a great help to me here.

 

‘Seong Chan-young’s body was originally strong, but it got better.’
