Reasonable Loss - 55

Just then, when Eunsoo was smiling at him with a grin, his phone in his jacket buzzed violently.

Eunsoo picked up the phone.

It was Dokwon’s mother, Myunghee.

Eunsoo showed Dokwon the caller ID and swiped to answer.

“Yes, Mother.”

– Eunsoo?

Are you home?

“Uh… no.”

– Then where are you?

I was going to have my secretary bring dinner.

“…….”

Eunsoo bit his lip as he looked up at Dokwon in front of him.

Dokwon tilted his head to the side, with an expression that asked if there was a problem.

Eunsoo responded with a faint smile.

“Dokwon is… home.”

– …Dokwon?

Yes.

Dokwon.

Eunsoo awkwardly nodded.

It wasn’t like they were secretly meeting or doing something embarrassing; he used to come and go freely before, so he didn’t know why he felt so shy now.

– ……

Myunghee was silent for a moment.

It was strange that they were together again after the cold wind had blown between them for so long.

As Eunsoo opened his mouth to add an explanation, Myunghee interrupted.

– Oh, oh, oh.

Okay, okay.

That’s nice, isn’t it?

You haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?

Then I’ll have Dokwon send some over.

“Ah, yes.

Thank you.”

– Is there anything you want in particular?

Eunsoo was about to carelessly reply no, but he smiled playfully instead.

Then he quickly wiped the smile off his face and pretended to be pitiful.

“Um… Mother.”

– Yes?

“I want to eat tteokbokki.”

– Ah, tteokbokki?

Sure, I’ll buy that and send it over.

“But Dokwon won’t let me eat it.”

– …Why is that crazy guy doing that?

“Right?

But I’m glad you’re sending it.

“Please make sure to send it.”

– Sure, sure.
