"IS IT really okay, Oppa?" Gyubin asked. She was still feeling awkward calling Wooju 'Oppa,' but she realized she should get used to it soon so that people around them would think they were really close to each other. They couldn't afford to have their fake marriage exposed. "You don't mind if I visit the girls at their new dorm?"
Last night, Chaehyun asked her if she had time to "date" the girls.
Hence, she was asking for Wooju's permission.
She was carrying an important life form in her womb, so she couldn't be selfish and just do whatever she wanted.
"You really don't have to ask for my permission, but thank you for letting me know," Wooju, who was busy reading the instructions of the toy box in his hand, said. And then he raised his head. "Of course, you can spend time with your friends. Jaemoo Hyung will drive you there. I'd like to, but I need to finish my presentation."
Ah, right.
I think he mentioned that to me before.
"I'm supposed to be a temporary instructor at the Facility, but I backed out after what happened," Wooju explained. "I feel bad for the Hunters who didn't do anything wrong, so I decided to just do a two-day seminar."
"I see," Gyubin said, nodding. "Good luck."
Her husband nodded. "Have fun. I know I don't have to remind you, but please don't drink."
"My dongsaengs are minors, so I won't really drink even if I'm not pregnant."
The girls were throwing her a bachelorette party.
But since her younger members were all homebody kids, Gyubin was pretty sure that they would just hang out and eat a lot at their new dorm.
Even so, she was still excited.
"Here," Wooju said, handing his Black Card to Gyubin. "Buy the kids delicious food."
Oh, my.
Gyubin accepted the Black Card with both hands.
She returned the Black Card to Wooju the first time he handed it to her because it felt "heavy," and now the beautiful card was back in her hands.
My husband is really generous.
And so was the System.
Aigoo.
Her
"Thank you, Oppa," Gyubin said, bowing politely towards Wooju. "I'll use your card well."
"No problem," Wooju said in a soft voice. "I'll come and pick you up later, Gyubin-ah."

WOOJU finished the small L*go that he was building.
It was a L*go model of a steampunk train.
Ah, so pretty.
Of course, he finished his presentation first before he spent hours in his new toy.
And, now, he was spending his time wondering where to put the newest addition to his collection when he received a message from Hunter Park Dong-min.
And he was surprised by the message.
"He's here?" Wooju whispered to himself in disbelief. "But why?"
He was forced to leave his 'toy museum room' to make a call to the reception area.
After all, only a select few could use the private lift connected straight to his penthouse.
Everything only took a couple of minutes, though.
"Hunter Han Wooju," Hunter Park Dong-min greeted him, and then he paused. "Is Binnie not here? She's not picking up my call."
"Gyubin is playing with her dongsaengs," Wooju said, and then his gaze fell on the elderly woman behind the older Hunter. "Who…?"
"This is Miss Kim Miran, Baek Gyubin's grandmother," Hunter Park Dong-min said awkwardly. And then he put his body between Wooju and the elderly woman. "I thought Binnie was here. But now that I've confirmed she isn't, we'll go ahead."
Wooju raised an eyebrow.
Why does it feel like Hunter Park Dong-min doesn't want me to meet Gyubin's grandmother?
If it was a different person, he wouldn't have cared.
But this is Gyubin's grandmother.
"Hello, ma'am," Wooju greeted the elderly woman politely while bowing towards her. "I'm Han Wooju— Gyubin's husband. It's an honor to meet you."
"Yes, yes, that's enough greeting," Hunter Park Dong-min said, and then he turned to Miss Kim Miran. "Grandma Kim, let's head back. Baek Gyubin isn't here."
"Gyubin?" Grandma Kim asked, confused. "Who is 'Baek Gyubin?'"
"Grandma Kim, Gyubin is your granddaughter," Hunter Park Dong-min said, wrapping an arm around the elderly woman, gently ushering her towards the door. "Your granddaughter isn't here, so we're leaving—"
"My granddaughter's name is Kim Gyuri— not Baek Gyubin."
What?
Wooju's head whipped in Grandma Kim's direction right away, his entire body suddenly feeling cold. "Grandma, did you say 'Kim Gyuri?'"
Is Baek Gyubin really Kim Gyuri?
***
AH, it's going to be a mess.
Lim Hojin, the president of the Gold Tiger Bureau, could only smile awkwardly at the four high-ranking Hunters in front of him. "You came out early, everyone."
By everyone, he meant the Pillars.
Hong Saebi of the Red Phoenix Guild.
Park Kiyoung of the White Lion Guild.
Nam Eunho and Nam Jinho of the Black Tortoise Guild.
Even Lim Hojin didn't predict that the Pillars would return earlier than expected.
I don't see everything, after all.
"President Lim, what do you mean Wooju Hyung is already married to some gold digger?" Nam Jinho, always the impatient and rude one, complained. "Wooju Hyung promised to marry Saebi Noona when they turn thirty years old!"
Ah, that promise?

GYUBIN was waiting for Kang Jaemoo in front of the girls' new apartment building when the car finally arrived.
But, instead of the manager/secretary oppa…
"Gyubin-ah."
Hmm?
"Wooju Oppa," Gyubin greeted her husband, surprised and confused as to why Wooju had a complicated look on his face. "What are you doing here—"
She wasn't able to finish her question.
After all, Wooju suddenly pulled Gyubin for a hug.
"Tell me the truth, Gyubin-ah," Wooju whispered, his voice almost pleading to her. "Are you Kim Gyuri?"
