Chapter 157
Baek Ae-young began to meddle with the people around her, walking leisurely with satisfied steps like a lion that had conquered the jungle. The items she had put in her pockets could be mistaken for leisure rather than gold or money.
The first person caught by Baek Ae-young was Seo Jihyuk, who was closest. He was rummaging through another drawer, taking out bandages and some unidentified ointment, when Baek Ae-young asked while watching his actions:
“Aren’t you getting anything as a gift for Jihyun unnie?”
“From here? I don’t give picked-up items as gifts to anyone.”
Seo Jihyuk looked around the messy accessory store, his eyes scanning over the scattered necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Then, awkwardly scratching the back of his head with his fingertips, he asked in a low voice:
“… What do women like?”
“Pure gold, cash, savings accounts, installment savings, deposits, profits, rewards…”
“… I didn’t ask what you like. No, I asked the wrong question. It’s my fault.”
Seo Jihyuk replied weakly, cramming the bandages and ointment into his pocket.
