Taejonbirok Volume 9 Episode 23
Chapter 57: Lazy, Not Easy (3)
“It’s not a relationship at all”…….
Ho-cheol-san trailed off and glanced at Jin-ye-ran.
His gaze clearly contained the intention, 'Why do you keep looking at me when you say we have no relationship?'
“I thought you were a group, but it looks like you aren’t.”
“We’re in a group……”
Wi Yeon-ho scratched his head.
It's hard to say that they were a group, but it's also hard to say that they weren't. That's exactly the kind of relationship he and Jin Ye-ran had. They came together, but it wasn't really a group since they didn't have a specific purpose.
If that's what you call a party, then everyone here is Wi Yeon-ho and his party.
“Yes. But why are you down here? Isn’t there a place to stay up there?”
“But, I came here because my father called me, but he’s not here.”
“Father…. The great swordsman. The great swordsman went to a management meeting a little while ago.”
“Oh, really?”
Wi Yeon-ho made a strong impression.
It seems like he called me and then left because he had something to do.
“You said you would introduce us to your son. I guess you called us here so we could get to know each other.”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded and looked around at them.
Of course, there were no familiar faces. If my father had been here, he would have introduced each and every one of them, but right now, there was no one who could step forward and sort out the situation.
Then what should I do?
Ho-cheol-san, who had been watching the situation and seeing Wi Yeon-ho's worried expression, quietly opened his mouth.
“It looks like you came to say hello.”
“Well, I guess so.”
“Well, come to think of it, I’m familiar with all the other juniors here, but I’m not familiar with you.”
Ho-cheol-san turned around and spoke to his group.
“Wei Yan-ho, the second son of the Guangdong Wei family, the son of the great swordsman and younger brother of Wei San-ho, has come to greet you. Please welcome him with applause.”
It was a slightly exaggerated introduction. It seemed to contain a bit of sarcasm, so the moment Wei Yanhu was about to react, applause poured in from all sides.
“Wow!”
“Oh!”
As people whose faces he didn't even know clapped their hands, Wei Yanho laughed out loud without realizing it.
Wasn't Wi Yeon-ho weak to praise and weak to the atmosphere?
“Hehe, what kind of hospitality is this……. Hehe.”
Jin Ye-ran let out a sigh without realizing it as she watched Wi Yeon-ho nodding his head from side to side.
'It would be nice if you could just be as self-aware as your abilities.'
It is good to be humble, but it is not a good thing for someone with ability to be excessively humble. Furthermore, Wei Yanhu is not humble; he is just not aware of his own position.
'Come to think of it, even the great hero has no self-awareness about his own son.'
Looking at Wei Yanhu objectively from the side, he was truly an amazing person. Even though she didn’t know much about the world of martial arts, she thought Wei Yanhu was worthy of being treated well.
Yet Wei Yanhui did not seem to think of himself as anything more than a lazy follower, and Wei Zhenghan did not seem to think of Wei Yanhui as anything more than that.
That made me secretly annoyed.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Oh, yes.”
As Ho-cheol-san held out his hand with a gentle smile, Wi-yeon-ho also laughed and took his hand.
For Wei Yan-ho, who had always been treated like a carnivore wherever he went, this was the first time in his life that he had ever experienced such hospitality.
“I hope we can have a good relationship. Since you are said to be a descendant of the Guangdong Wei family, I guess we will see each other a lot in the future.”
“I don’t go out much, so I won’t see anything.”
“…….”
Ho-cheol-san looked at Wi-yeon-ho with a blank expression.
'What is this guy?'
Surely you don't mean to take my words to heart just out of politeness?
'No. That can't be.'
If Wi San-ho was just a fool who was good at martial arts, he wouldn't have been able to gain such fame. Wi San-ho was also famous for his intelligence. There's no way that his younger brother would be an idiot. When one of the brothers is a genius, there are cases where the other brother is not interested in studying, but it's rare for one brother to be an idiot.
'Are you being sarcastic?'
But that seemingly innocent expression seems a bit strange.
“Ahhh, is that so?”
"yes."
Wi Yeon-ho nodded as if he had said something obvious. Ho-cheol-san realized that the conversation with Wi Yeon-ho would not continue constructively. In addition, Ak-seo-hee had been giving him hints since earlier.
“Okay. You must be tired. Come up and have a look.”
“Father told me to come down…….”
Hocheolsan smiled brightly.
“Isn’t it because the great swordsman wanted to greet you and me that he called you? Since we have already greeted each other, I don’t think you will blame him if he returns.”
“……Is that so?”
“Of course. I guarantee it.”
“Umm…….”
When Wi Yeon-ho seemed to be troubled, Ho-cheol-san patted Wi Yeon-ho on the shoulder and said.
“What are you so worried about?”

“I really want to go up…….”
"however?"
“What if I go up and my father gets angry?”
Ho-cheol-san laughed as if he found it ridiculous.
“Didn’t I say I guarantee it? No, I’ll guarantee it. So don’t worry.”
Wi Yeon-ho looked at Ho-cheol-san with a pitiful expression.
“So you made a guarantee, but what if your father gets angry?”
"……huh?"
Ho-cheol-san blinked his eyes.
“Are you going to accept it instead?”
Ho-cheol-san was at a loss for words for a moment. No, if he said he wouldn’t get angry, how should he answer if someone asked what he would do if he got angry?
'Is this a fight with me now?'
As Ho-cheol-san was quietly observing Wi Yeon-ho's reaction, Ak-seo-hee poked him in the ribs.
“Tsk.”
If it were normal, I would have to give this arrogant junior a thorough education on the consequences of disagreeing with his senior’s words… … .
'If that happens, I won't be able to sleep because of that guy's nagging.'
Ho-cheol-san decided to mercifully release Wi-yeon-ho.
“I don’t think that will happen, but if it does, I will take responsibility and convince the great swordsman that you did nothing wrong.”
“Hmm.”
Wi Yeon-ho quietly looked at Ho-cheol-san with eyes that were not attractive.
Then he nodded slowly.
“Okay, fine.”
Although he did not believe everything Ho-cheol-san said, he could not just wait for Wi-jeong-han to return. Wi-yeon-ho, who had acquired a suitable shield, vowed to somehow use it to escape Wi-jeong-han’s clutches.
“Then I’ll go up. It was nice meeting you.”
“Yes, it was nice to meet you. Come up and take a look.”
“Yes, then.”
Wei Yanhu turned his body and headed upward. For a moment, his eyes met with Jin Yeran’s, but Wei Yanhu paid no attention and continued upward.
'really…….'
Jin Ye-ran looked at Wi Yeon-ho with an annoyed expression.
I know he doesn't mean anything bad. That guy is just so clueless. Jinye probably doesn't even know what kind of trouble she's in right now.
So, even though she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help but bite her lips unconsciously. A curt voice was heard in her ear as she vowed to somehow resolve this situation without Wei Yanho.
“Aren’t you going up?”
"yes?"
Jin Ye-ran looked back in surprise.
Wi Yeon-ho was looking at her with an expression dripping with annoyance.
“The accommodation is upstairs.”
“Huh? Ah…… Yes!”
“Then is there anything you need to do down there?”
“No! There isn’t any!”
“Then let’s go.”
A color came to her face.
'You were thinking about it.'
I thought he was just indifferent, but it seems I wasn't.
“I’ll go now.”
Jin Ye-ran followed Wei Yan-ho with a bright smile. Wei Yan-ho blushed slightly without realizing it when he saw Jin Ye-ran’s face.
'It's so pretty.'
Jin Ye-ran was already quite pretty in her usual form, but Jin Ye-ran smiling like this was beautiful enough to shake even Wei Yan-ho's composure, which was as heavy as a rock.
“Khuh-huh.”
Wi Yeon-ho, who felt awkward for no reason and coughed in vain, turned around and went upstairs.
"for a moment!"
But at that moment, a voice was heard that broke his mood.
"huh?"
When Wi Yeon-ho and Jin Ye-ran turned their heads, Ho-cheol-san was looking at them with a stern face.
“Where are you going?”
“I told you to go up so I did, but now you’re asking me where I’m going so I’m at a loss.”
“Not you!”
Ho-cheol-san's face turned red and blue.
Why can't that guy tell what he should and shouldn't do?
Weichang coral wasn't like that, that guy is really clueless.
“Miss Jin.”
"……yes?"
“It seems like you didn’t respond properly to our request to sit down with us. Wouldn’t it be rude to accept a request and then leave without even responding?”
Jin Ye-ran's face hardened.
It seemed like these people had no intention of letting her go easily.
What should I say in answer?
She was looking for an answer that would not escalate the situation, but she didn't have to look for it. The person who boasted the most hellish way of speaking had already spoken first.
“Oh, hey, I said I didn’t like it, but why do you keep making it sticky? It looks like it’s not there.”
“…….”
Ho-cheol-san's body flinched for a moment.
A sentence is a combination of words. There are countless combinations of words in the world, but I can confidently say that there is no word that could make Ho-cheol-san feel as upset as this sentence at this moment.
“Oh, sticky?”
When had he ever heard such words?
But Wei Yanhui was not a person so considerate as to even consider what kind of words he was familiar with.
“It’s so openly sticky.”
Wi Yeon-ho stared at Ho-cheol-san in shock and then opened his mouth.
“Are you married?”
“Oh, no.”
“Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?”
"does not exist."
“So there isn’t any.”
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head.
“If you only do things that women hate, which woman would like it? If a person has no experience and no brain, he should at least be aware of things. Why do you keep asking questions to someone who shows off his dislike so clearly?”
"omg……."
Not only was Hocheolsan Hocheolsan, but Jin Ye-ran was also gaping in amazement.
This guy was originally this quick-witted… … No, no, that’s not it! What on earth is that guy trying to do?
There are many truths in the world, but there are also truths that should never be spoken out loud. However, Wi Yeon-ho was beating Ho-cheol-san like crazy as if that had nothing to do with him.
“Let’s go.”
When Wi Yeon-ho spoke as if he had said everything he wanted to say, Jin Ye-ran nodded with a bewildered expression.
"yes yes."
As Wi Yeon-ho and Jin Ye-ran began to go upstairs, an angry voice erupted.
“Hey you!”
The one who shouted was Ak Seo-hee.
“How arrogant of you! Everyone here is older than you, and your brother’s…….”
“Stop, stop.”
Wi Yeon-ho cut off Ak Seo-hee's scream.
“I’m a bit of a talkative person…….”
"……huh?"
“You know very well when to speak and when not to speak, right?”
“…….”
Wi Yeon-ho came down, clapping both hands.
“Well, no matter what you say in the middle, it’ll end with ‘Apologize,’ or ‘Admit your mistake,’ or ‘I’ll punish you.’ I don’t intend to do that…….”
Wi Yeon-ho said with a sly smile.
“If you’re angry, just come at me.”
