Chapter 9 - Chapter -007-

"Chanie-yah, what do you want to eat tonight? Auntie will make whatever food you want."

Seo Chan, who just came out of his temporary room, immediately flashed a five-finger smile upon hearing the question from Yeji's aunt.

Meanwhile, Ji Won who heard the aunt's question and also saw the response shown by Seo Chan immediately snorted annoyed and replied.

"He eats everything. So auntie cooks anything, he will definitely eat it without leaving anything left." Jiwon said in response to the aunt's question which immediately made him get a loving blow on his back from the aunt.

Plak..

"Won-ah, you can't say that to Chanie. After all, Chanie has spent a long time traveling to get here." Aunt Yeji said after hitting Ji Won on the back affectionately.

Ji Won whose back was just hit by Yeji immediately hissed while rubbing his back.

"Auntie, I also came with him, but why don't you ask me what I want to eat tonight?" Ji Won asked with eyes glaring at the aunt.

Yeji who heard the nephew's question shook has head while chuckling in disgust.

"You're an eater, so auntie doesn't have to bother asking what you want to eat tonight, because whatever menu is on the table you will eat it all up." Yeji's answer reversed Ji Won's words, making Ji Won hiss in disgust because his aunt's words had been replayed back.

Seo Chan, who had been watching the fight between Ye Ji and Ji Won, was holding back his laughter so Ji Won wouldn't notice. But unfortunately at that time Ji Won glanced at him, so his best friend knew that he was laughing at the bickering between aunt and nephew in front of him at this time.

"Tsk! You if you want to laugh, laugh! Seeing you holding back a laugh like that makes me even more annoyed!" Ji Won chuckles while throwing a cloth nearby to Seo Chan.

But by reflex, Seo Chan immediately caught the cloth before it hit his face.

Ye Ji, who saw Ji Won throwing the cloth at Seo Chan, again threw a loving blow on her nephew's back.

Plak!

"Aish, aunty why are you hitting my back again? I didn't do anything." Ji Won hissed in response to a glare from his aunt.

"You said you didn't do anything? It was obvious you threw the cloth in Chanie's face!"

Ji Won rolled his eyes lazily. "But the cloth didn't get into the wok, aunty."

Ye Ji took a deep breath. "It's you. Hurry up and take a shower, if you want to get a share for dinner."

Ji Won just cleared his throat in response to Ye Ji's words, then got up from his seat. When he walked past Seo Chan, Ji Won immediately took the cloth that was still in his friend's hand and immediately directed the cloth to cover Seo Chan's face and after that he immediately ran into his room, ignoring Ye Ji's screams calling his name and Seo Chan's giggles.

"Son Ji Won!"

***

Seo Chan and Ji Won, who just finished eating lunch, are now sitting together on a bamboo stand in Ye Ji's yard. They can see some rural residents who are still moving through the house.

Ji Won who saw Seo Chan carrying a small plate of fruit pieces, stretched out one hand to take the pieces of fruit and devoured it in one bite.

Meanwhile, Seo Chan chose to lie down to stare at the night sky which was decorated with sparkling stars.

"Hah, I really really miss the night atmosphere here. I can see the stars, faintly hear the waves crashing on the beach and also feel the sea breeze." Said Seo Chan while closing his eyes.

Ji Won who heard Seo Chan's words glanced at his friend's eyes with one hand that returned to take a piece of apple.

"You are very poetic. Actually, even from the roof of the nightclub you work, you can still see the sparkling stars like this. So don't overdo it." Ji Won replied which immediately made Seo Chan open his eyes and put on an unhappy face.

"Can't you just not comment on what I say once in a while?" Seo Chan asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Of course I can't. Because every word that comes out of your lips always invites comments." Ji Won answered so nonchalantly. Seo Chan only responded to Ji Won's words with a lazy snort.

Silence is now starting to envelop between Ji Won and Seo Chan. Ji Won is busy eating apple slices, while Seo Chan is focused on looking up at the sky.

"Yak, Won-ah." Call out Seo Chan without taking his head off the sky.

"Hmmm." Ji Won replied with a sigh and without turning his head towards Seo Chan.

"Where are we going to spend tomorrow? We still have two days here."

JI Won who heard Seo Chan's words finally glanced his eyes briefly at his best friend.

"Tomorrow morning I will attend the morning meeting first until before lunch time." Ji Won answered which immediately made Seo Chan turn his head towards him with an expression of disbelief clearly printed on his best friend's face.

"Didn't you already take three days off? Why do you still have to attend the morning meeting??" Seo Chan asked in a displeased tone.

"I have to keep up with the morning meeting, because the company has a new project and I also have to be involved in the project." Ji Won answered while shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.

Seo Chan sighed harshly at Ji Won's words.

"You should be able to refuse not to get involved with their new project. Aren't there still a lot of employees there? Don't always have to be yourself when there's a new project."

Ji Won again shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Of course I can't refuse stupid, because Kwon-Sajang nim himself asked me directly."

Seo Chan immediately rolled her eyes lazily.

"You can just reject it. Just say you have a lot of work so you can't hold the project this time"

Bletak!

Ji Won quickly reached out one hand to smack Seo Chan strong enough. Make his best friend now winced feeling the smack from him.

"I'm going to be fired from the company, you idiot!" Ji Won hissed at Seo Chan sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Seo Chan replied with an annoyed chuckle.

"You can't be fired. If you get fired just because of that, then they're all idiots for wasting you."

Ji Won raised an eyebrow looking at Seo Chan doubtfully.

"If they're all stupid then what are you? Offered to get a convincing position in the company but instead you're wasting it just to be able to live freely outside."

Seo Chan waved one hand.

"I'm not wasting it. It's just that I want to give it to someone who deserves to fill the position. And it turns out I didn't choose the wrong one at all, you are the one who deserves to fill that position."

Taking a deep breath, Ji Won exhaled and one hand reached out to ruffle the top of Seo Chan's head.

"Tomorrow morning you go with aunty to the market first, then we will go together." Ji Won said still while ruffling the top of Seo Chan's head.

"Heemm .." Seo Chan who heard Ji Won's words just cleared his throat nonchalantly. Because he is feeling annoyed with Ji Won who is still taking care of office work even when he is taking time off like he is now.
