The Famous Millionaire Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Chapter 211

The next morning, it was the start of the weekend. Hyunwoo could have made various appointments but didn’t. He wanted to spend the whole weekend for a date with Suji.

As the weekend he had been waiting for earnestly, he wanted to spend a great time with her from early Sat.u.r.day morning to late Sunday night.

He called Suji a bit early Sat.u.r.day morning.

She was already awake. Given her cheerful voice, she also seemed to be ready for the date.

“Let’s go to the suburbs first,” said Hyunwoo confidently.

But she reacted with an unexpected reply, “This early? Let’s go out in the afternoon. I have a lunch appointment.”

Come to think of it, he didn’t set up the exact time to meet.

Scratching his head, he asked, “In the afternoon? What time?”

“Let me call you around 3 pm.”

It looked like she would have lunch with her friend and hang around until then.

It didn’t matter to him.

“Okay. Give me a call.”

Hyunwoo was free until 3 pm. As he was always hectic busy with work, he suddenly felt woozy as he had nothing to do.

“Let me workout.”

Changed into sportswear, he went out of the house and jogged to the hill.

There was a woman doing workout there, who was none other than Yu Zuung.

Whenever she ran, her long and black hair moved up and down.

She was in long pants, a T-s.h.i.+rt, and sneakers.

When he looked at her from behind, he felt as if she was sneaking a look at her.

He quickly caught up with her.

“When did you come out here?”

Looking at his face, she realized it was Hyunwoo. As she was wearing earphones, she didn’t sense he was approaching her.

She took out her earphones and smiled innocently.

“Oh, boss! I came here about 30 minutes ago.”

When he saw her a moment ago, she was running fast. If she had run like that, she must have had been working out a lot already. In fact, her jogging suit was wet with sweat here and there.

Still, her breathing was not that rough. He realized that she had been running to build up her body.

“Do you run every day like this?”

“I used to run in Vietnam, but I haven’t run much here. I felt heavy because I haven’t run. So, I decided to run every day. I feel so refreshed after running.”

Opening her arms, she showed joy.

“If you run alone like this, you might be in trouble.”

Running with her side by side, he explained to her about the danger of s.e.xual hara.s.sers.

Only then did she have a scared look.

“Are there such men in an advanced country like Korea?”

“Of course. Very dangerous.”

Hyunwoo exaggerated a bit. He felt he couldn’t emphasize too much it was really necessary to be on guard against strangers in a place like this.

“What should I do? I can’t live without exercise.”

“I recommend you go to a swimming pool or fitness center. Or you can run in a public park where there are lots of people.”

“As you know, I can’t make the time because such a place is far from your house or office.”

Hyunwoo felt the same way. He wanted to find an alternative solution but couldn’t find one right away.

At that moment, she suggested an idea.

“Why don’t you run with me, boss? I think I am safe then.”

It was not a bad idea.

In fact, he didn’t do any workout these days. Last year he went hiking with seniors on the weekends, but he couldn’t do this year.

But he was afraid that he couldn’t accept her idea. Though she asked him to run with her in the morning, Suji might misunderstand that. If she saw him and Yu Zuung running every morning, she would certainly suspect that.

Suddenly, he hit upon an idea.

Yea, Suji can run with us.

In fact, he felt frustrated that he couldn’t find more time with Suji as a rule. If he could run with her every morning, however, it would be good for her health, and at the same time resolve her complaint about him.

He smiled at her, answering, “Let me think about it.”

He ran about 30 minutes with her and came back home.

Yu Zuung ran more than an hour thanks to Hyunwoo, but she wasn’t tired at all. She said she ran more than an hour during workouts.

Yu Zuung ate light. It seemed she ate less than 30% of what he ate.

So, he had some prejudice that she might be physically weak. He thought her waist was too lean because she ate too little.

On the other hand, he got curious. Normally her bust or b.u.t.tocks was supposed to be lean, too, but it was the opposite. She had full bust and b.u.t.tocks.

Come to think of it, she had that build thanks to her workout.

When he came back, it was past 10 am already. He took a shower with cold water and then came out again.

Yu Zuung was also outside after taking a shower. She didn’t put on basic makeup, but she was as beautiful as ever.

She was playing with a pet dog. Looking at her, he felt a bit sorry. Even during the weekend, she had no date or friends to meet.

Hyujnwoo approached her and said, “You must be bored during the weekend, right?”

“Just a little bit,” she said nonchalantly.

He felt sorry all the more. It seemed as if she was putting up with her loneliness.

Maybe he felt she was lonely because of her sad eyes. She was born with sad eyes, so she looked like a girl in tragic love when she is left alone.

He had some free time until he met Suji at 3 pm, so he wanted to spend some time with Yu Zuung.

Actually, he wanted to buy her a small gift, too.

“Do you want to go out for delicious food?”

“Really? I know you have a date today.”

“I’m seeing her this afternoon. So, get ready quickly.”

“Wow, great! In fact, today is my birthday.”

“Oh, is it?” said Hyunwoo, with a surprised look. He recalled her expression when she got off work yesterday.

“Sorry, I should have taken care of your birthday.”

“No thanks, boss. Let me change my clothes and come back quickly.”

She quickly went into the dorm and Hyunwoo also dressed in streetwear.

About 20 minutes later she came out. She had put on makeup with lipstick and mascara, which made her look like a totally different woman.

Posing beside Hyunwoo, she said, “I hope I look fine enough not to have egg on your face.”

“Oh, you look fine! It’s me who feels a bit burdensome being around with you. Haha.”

Both of them headed to a restaurant. It was a high-end restaurant that Hyunwoo took some VIPs for appointments often.

The owner and its staff were familiar with his face because of his frequent visits.

Unfortunately, there was no table near the window with a good view. They were escorted to a table not far from the window. Holding his arm gently, she walked to the table.

When he was moving, though, he suddenly noticed familiar faces. He stopped instantly.

As if he couldn’t believe, he looked at them and murmured to himself in spite of himself.

“…Suji”

At his murmuring, Suji turned her head. The young man, who was sitting across her, also looked at him.

Suji was as much embarra.s.sed as Hyunwoo.

“Oh my G.o.d! How come you’re here?”

In fact, both of them should have gone out to the suburbs by now, but she delayed dating him and instead she was sitting with a young guy in a restaurant.

Of all the stupid things to do, she was with another man at the moment.

She had no choice but to feel embarra.s.sed.

Hyunwoo felt the same way. Suji was casting a glance at Yu Zuung holding his arm, who was much more beautiful than her.

Hyunwoo and Suji were at a loss how to respond, looking at each other with their mouths open.

There was a moment of silence. It was the young man who broke the silence.

“Nice to see you again here. You remember me, right? I’m Jungsu Pae.”

He quickly stood up and held out his hand.

Only then did Hyunwoo close his mouth and held Jungsu’s hand.

“Oh, I remember you.”

“Hahaha. Hope you don’t misunderstand. I reported to work at the Hwasung prosecutor’s office yesterday. Suji offered to treat me to lunch to celebrate my a.s.signment here, so I was enjoying lunch here.”

Jungsu explained the situation to make clear that she wasn’t having an affair with another man. And he looked at Yu Zuung. It was Hyunwoo’s turn to explain.

Yu Zuung was holding his forearm gently then.

“She is Yu Zuung and an employee of Ani & Funny. Suji, you saw her before, didn’t you?”

Suji nodded her head.

As Yu Zuung arrived only several days ago, she didn’t have any chance to say h.e.l.lo to Suji. But she was a bit concerned because such a beautiful woman was residing in Hyunwoo’s house.

“Oh, I hear you arrived in Korea from Vietnam several days ago…”

“She did a nice job, so I wanted to treat her to lunch. Yu Zuung, why don’t you say hi to my sweetheart?”

Hyunwoo proudly introduced her to Suji. Though he spoke in English, Jungsu was also a fluent speaker of English.

With a bright smile, Yu Zuung bowed to her.

“I have heard a lot about you from my boss. He said you’re so beautiful, and I agree. You’re so beautiful. By the way, I’m sorry because you might misunderstand…” said Yu Zuung with a concerned look.

Hyunwoo eased her mind with a hearty laugh,

“Hahaha, there is no misunderstanding here.”

Suji also made a bright smile.

Hyunwoo said, “Have a good meal! Suji, enjoy the food and call me later. Let me take that table over there.”

“Got it. Let me call you later.”

Hyunwoo took a table farther from one he was originally supposed to sit. It was on the opposite side of Suji’s table.

Thanks to the opposite location of their tables, they all could enjoy lunch without feeling any burden.

But Suji seemed to care. While eating, she sometimes cast a glance at Hyunwoo and Yu Zuung.

Hyunwoo didn’t seem to be conscious of Suji at all. With a bright smile, he was enjoying lunch with Yu Zuung.

Looking at them, Suji felt they were a nice match. On the one hand, she compared him to Jungsu.

But both were completely different in their lifestyle. Hyunwoo was always snowed under with work, but Jungsu was not. While he was having lunch, Jungsu said all along that he wanted to enjoy his life.

When she thought as far as that, she suddenly felt lonely.

Today of all days I just feel Hyunwoo’s table is too far from mine…
