Chapter 218: End
Oh, shit. Cha Eui-jae quickly pulled his cap down deeper. Of all places, why did they have to run into each other here? Ignoring his panic, Yang Hye-jin strode forward and firmly grabbed Cha Eui-jae by the arm.
"Part-timer, you're the part-timer, right? The one who worked at that hangover soup restaurant in the alley. Am I right? You're the part-timer, aren't you?"
"Uh..."
The acting skills he had meticulously honed completely failed him in this sudden crisis. A hundred different scenarios flashed through his mind like a panorama. Greet her warmly? She'd probably accuse him of laughing in this situation. Pretend not to recognize her? She'd accuse him of ignoring her. Pretend he lost his memory? Would that even work?
"Oh my gosh... you really are the part-timer."
By now, Yang Hye-jin had already sized him up from head to toe, mumbling in disbelief. Unfortunately, he was wearing his hangover soup restaurant uniform, so denying it seemed pointless. Cha Eui-jae held up his hands, trying to calm her down. But Yang Hye-jin, far from calming down, glared at him.
"Hey, where the heck have you been all this time? Do you know how worried we were?"
"W-what?"
"You suddenly closed up the restaurant and disappeared! Do you have any idea how many people thought you were kidnapped and went looking for you?"
But I posted a sign in front of the restaurant...
"Of all times, there've been a lot of hunter kidnappings recently! And you disappeared right when all of that was happening? You made everyone worry!"
Kidnapped?
