Chapter 239: Chapter 233

As if he was struck by an electric shock, Yonggu flinched monetarily at Hyunwoo's remarks.

Though Hyunwoo said very briefly, Yonggu felt as if he saw a new world before his eyes.

Hyunwoo continued, “And I think the couple upstairs will be careful, too. If you are close to them, they will also act thoughtfully.”

Yonggu and Minhye nodded their heads before they knew.

In fact, it was nonsense to try to control the children. So, it would be much easier to take their noise positively rather than trying to control them.

When Yonggu and Minhye made a serious expression, Hyunwoo giggled at that.

“Hey, what are you doing? Open the door.”

“Oh, I forgot.”

Only they did Yonggu push the door b.u.t.ton and open it.

Thanks to the visit of Hyunwoo's party, the noise from upstairs was much lower now. Most likely the children were careful not to make a lot of noise.

A drinking session began soon. They were not awkward anymore, chatting and laughing freely. In particular, the young guys tried their best to win over the women's hearts.

The women were now aggressive in showing their feelings. If they found their partners to their liking, it seemed as if they wanted to spend the whole night together.

They were interested in Hyunwoo, in particular, because his company Ani & Funny as well as KOVE DREAM was so famous.

But Hyunwoo wasn't interested in them at all.

In fact, he made lots of efforts to soothe Suji's troubled heart. Suji might have felt his efforts were not enough as he was terribly busy, but he did his best in a given situation.

But Suji was not moved at all. It seemed that she had completely split with Hyunwoo.

She was not dating another man. She didn't meet even Jungsu, who she used to meet from time to time.

In other words, she didn't split with Hyunwoo because she found another man. She was just disappointed at Hyunwoo himself.

That made Hyunwoo stressed out all the more because he was not confident he could be the type of man that she wanted. He could not be confident of leading a happy life while holding back his desire to pursue what he liked.

Probably, Suji would say the same. It would be far from a happy life if she had to forcibly adjust her life to that of her partner against her will.

After all, Hyunwoo decided to leave it to fate. If Suji was to be the woman of Hyunwoo's fate, either of them would change at the end of the day. If that's the case, they could meet. If not, they would have to give up on each other.

“What are you pondering so deeply?” asked a woman next to Hyunwoo, poking in his ribs.

Turning his head, he found her face was flushed as if she was drunk.

“Haha, it's nothing.”

“It's our turn,” said the woman.

They were playing the skins.h.i.+p game. Other couples were done, waiting for Hyunwoo's couple to make physical contact.

Of course, it was Yonggu and Minhye who made deep physical contact by using major parts of their bodies.

Hyunwoo's partner seemed to wait for his deep kiss.

But he didn't feel up to it because she was more interested in his Ani & Funny and KOVE DREAM than in him.

“I have a girlfriend…” said Hyunwoo.

“That doesn't matter. This is just a game,” she said.

“Yea, that's right. Don't play like an old-fas.h.i.+oned man!” seconded Yonggu.

Hyunwoo agonized over the thought, but it didn't last long. As she and Yonggu said, this was just a game. No matter how intense their physical contact was, they would not force him to take off his clothes.

Yea, I don't have to make a big deal out of this. I should not ruin the atmosphere here.

Then he just went along with what she wanted him to do. Everybody yelled for joy and watched him and his partner.

Another game ensued, which was lead them to make more physical contact. Hyunwoo sometimes won and sometimes lost, placing himself at the mercy of the game.

After playing the game for a while, he furtively stood up.

“Phew, let me go out for fresh air. Yonggu, let's go out together. I've got something to tell you.”

“Sure, no problem.”

Both grabbed a canned beer and came out.

They sat on the bench in front of the apartment unit.

Hyunwoo opened his mouth first, “How is your business doing?”

When Hyunwoo brought up the topic of business, Yonggu drank as if he was thirsty.

“In fact, business is not good right now. Before I quit, s.p.a.ce Design just maintained the status quo, but it's in the red now.”

“What matters is not now, but the future of your business. Do you see any prospect of turning it in the black?”

Yonggu shook his head.

“Design Room, our rival, is too aggressive in their sales approach. They just keep lowering the prices of their furniture even though they know they will suffer a big loss.”

“I see. It looks like Design Room wants to kill its rival s.p.a.ce Design first.”

“That's what I guess.”

Yonggu let out a sigh again. Though Hyunwoo expected it, s.p.a.ce Design was in a more serious situation than he thought.

“Do you mind if I invest in your company?”

“Well, do you think my business can suddenly go into the black with your investment?” asked Yonggu with a smile.

“If I invest, your business will succeed.”

Yonggu opened his eyes wide at that because he felt Hyunwoo had a good idea.

“I've got have a surefire item that will make your business go into the black. This is something that Design Room can never imitate.”

“Really? What is it?” demanded Yonggu.

Hyunwoo gave him a slight hint.

“Didn't you feel anything unusual when you went upstairs?”
