Descent of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 1050

“I’m coming in!”Han Eun-sol frowned as he opened the door.Come to think of it, this was quite a big deal.Choi Yeon-ha’s house was practically a men-forbidden zone. Among the countless men in the world,Han Eun-sol and Kang Jin-ho were the only ones allowed to enter this house.If he had to add one more, it would probably be Choi Yeon-ha’s father.But among them, Han Eun-sol was the only man who knew the password to Choi Yeon-ha’s house.This was the privilege of a manager!‘A man who knows the front door password of the superstar Choi Yeon-ha…’It might sound like a great thing at first glance, but it was more of a curse than a blessing.In exchange for knowing this front door password,Han Eun-sol was often tormented by the hellish task of waking up Choi Yeon-ha, who was often extremely sensitive and irritable from sleep.But today, the situation was a bit strange.‘No matter how I look at it, it’s not time to sleep…’Choi Yeon-ha was a bit weak in the morning, but it was already three in the afternoon. Considering the lifestyle pattern he knew of Choi Yeon-ha, it was unimaginable that she would be sleeping at this time.She should definitely be awake at this time.Besides, didn’t Kang Jin-ho say he was visiting today? Then she should definitely be awake, so why isn’t she answering the phone….“Oh, crap!”Han Eun-sol slammed the door shut without realizing it.After calming his startled heart, Han Eun-sol put his ear to the front door.‘It can’t be, right?’The thought of two young men and women being in the house and not answering the phone made all sorts of disturbing imaginations run through his head.‘No way, surely not…’Han Eun-sol immediately erased the thought that came to his mind.If it were anyone else, maybe, but not these two. They were the two who stayed in the same room at a hotel overseas and nothing happened.There was no way they would be doing anything like that in broad daylight.Neither the tough-acting Choi Yeon-ha nor the serious-acting Kang Jin-ho were immune to that kind of thing.“Hoo…”Han Eun-sol took a deep breath and entered the password again and opened the door. He didn’t think it was likely, but just in case, he carefully opened the door and listened.‘Is she inside?’Or not?As soon as the front door closed, he heard a thumping sound from inside.“Noona [older sister or female friend], can I come in?”“Come in.”As a clear answer came back, Han Eun-sol tilted his head and headed inside. Seeing that Kang Jin-ho’s shoes were not in the entryway, it seemed that Choi Yeon-ha was alone.Han Eun-sol, heading towards Choi Yeon-ha’s room, carefully opened the door.“Huh?”Han Eun-sol, who looked into the room, tilted his head.Choi Yeon-ha was standing alone in the room. But the room was a bit strange. Choi Yeon-ha was quite neat, so her room was always tidy, but now it felt a bit messy.Especially, seeing the teddy bear that was always sitting upright on the bed, now lying on the floor…‘Why is it squashed like that?’It wasn’t just lying there, it looked like it had been stepped on.He didn’t know exactly what had happened, but Han Eun-sol’s instincts, which had been tormented by Choi Yeon-ha countless times, were warning him of danger.“You’re here?”“N-Noona, why aren’t you answering your phone?”“Phone?”Choi Yeon-ha’s head scanned the surroundings. Finding her phone buried under the blanket, Choi Yeon-ha said nonchalantly.“I didn’t know.”No, unless it was on silent, how could she not know when there were three missed calls?Of course, he had no intention of saying that out loud.“Noona, is something wrong?”“Eun-sol.”“Yes.”Choi Yeon-ha hesitated slightly.‘Eek!’Seeing that, Han Eun-sol was horrified and took a step back.What kind of woman was Choi Yeon-ha?Choi Yeon-ha was the type of woman who would say whatever she wanted to say without filtering anything, even in front of the broadcasting station director. For Choi Yeon-ha to hesitate meant she was about to do something truly outrageous.“Hey.”“Yes?”“This.”Choi Yeon-ha held out a piece of paper in her hand.“What is this?”“Personal information.”“Huh?”Han Eun-sol, taking the paper, narrowed his eyes. There was a name and a phone number written on the paper.“What is this?”“Do some background check.”Han Eun-sol’s eyes popped out as he looked back and forth between the paper and Choi Yeon-ha.“This is a crime, Noona!”“I know!”“No, even so, people should have some common sense! Who asks their manager to do a background check! This isn’t a detective agency! You said you were starting a new company, did you change your business to a errand center!”“Aish, crap!”Choi Yeon-ha kicked the blanket.‘How strange.’Putting aside the fact that she was so nonchalant about asking for a background check, it was surprising that Choi Yeon-ha was interested in someone else. And no matter how he looked at it, this name seemed to be a woman’s, and Choi Yeon-ha was interested in another woman?This was no ordinary matter.“Who is it?”“If I knew, would I ask you to do this?”“You at least know something, that’s why you’re doing this.”Choi Yeon-ha’s lips twitched.“…His ex-girlfriend.”“Huh?”“Kang Jin-ho’s ex-girlfriend.”The moment Han Eun-sol, with a blank look on his face, was about to say something, Choi Yeon-ha raised her hand and covered Han Eun-sol’s face, saying.“I know, so don’t say it! I know what you’re going to say!”“I’m glad you know.”“It’s pathetic, right!”Choi Yeon-ha roared like a lion.“It’s pathetic! Petty! Miserable! And ridiculous, right!”“No, well, not that much…”“So what! What am I supposed to do if I’m bothered? It’s better than pretending not to be bothered and acting calm when I am!”He felt like applauding.If it was this shameless, it could be considered confidence. Han Eun-sol was truly impressed by Choi Yeon-ha. He thought he knew Choi Yeon-ha quite well, but this was a new level.Choi Yeon-ha, with her head tilted back and her belly puffed out, was the epitome of confidence.On the surface… only on the surface.“If you get caught doing a background check, Noona, your image will be ruined.”“Is there any more to ruin?”“…I’d have to think about that?”To be honest, it didn’t seem like there was any more image to ruin, but he couldn’t say that honestly.Han Eun-sol sighed and said.“Anyway, it’s not okay.”“Why!”“What do you think Kang Jin-ho will think if he finds out?”“…He’d really break up with me.”“You know it well.”“Can’t we do it without getting caught? Eun-sol, I believe in your abilities.”“Don’t put your trust in me for this kind of thing. I’m not going to do it.”“Tch.”Choi Yeon-ha kicked the blanket again as if she was annoyed. It was obvious that she had been doing this and the room was a mess.“No, why are you doing this? Is Kang Jin-ho cheating on you?”“Would he be that kind of person?”“Exactly.”No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand. If it was anyone else, maybe, but if the other person was Kang Jin-ho, that kind of thing couldn’t happen. Even if everyone in the world was cheating, Kang Jin-ho wouldn’t be the type to cheat.Even if there was an opportunity to cheat with a woman prettier than Choi Yeon-ha without raising any suspicion, and even if the woman was blatantly flirting with him, Kang Jin-ho would just wave his hand away because it was annoying.‘If you’re going to waste it, give that face to me!’No matter how hard Han Eun-sol tried to understand, Kang Jin-ho was like a living Buddha. But why would someone who was dating such a person be so uneasy that she would do a background check on another woman?Crunch.“Aha! Your nails! Your nails! I told you not to bite them!”Choi Yeon-ha took her thumb out of her mouth and mumbled.“I had a feeling, a feeling. I knew it from when I felt uneasy.”There was no answer.Han Eun-sol gave up on trying to calm Choi Yeon-ha down.First, he needed to prevent her from causing an accident.“Instead of that, wouldn’t it be better to just tell Kang Jin-ho directly that you’re bothered and that he shouldn’t get involved with her?”“What would my image be then!”“…Is there any more image to ruin?”“No way. Even if I’m called a crazy woman elsewhere, I want to be called nice by my boyfriend.”“I don’t think all women are like that.”“Then that’s me.”There was nothing to argue about.“I have to look cool on the outside, right?”“Noona.”“Huh?”“Instead of just acting cool on the outside, can’t you just be cool for real? Whatever happened in the past, it’s already over. It doesn’t seem like something to be so bothered about.”Choi Yeon-ha chuckled.“Eun-sol.”“Yes?”“You’re still young, so you don’t know.”“…Yes.”Choi Yeon-ha lifted her chin and said.“People can’t live that logically.”Well, yeah….That was true.“I know I don’t have to in my head, but I keep getting bothered, you know?”“Yes, Noona. I was short-sighted.”“This won’t do. We need to come up with a special plan.”“No, Kang Jin-ho wouldn’t do that kind of thing.”“Eun-sol.”“…Noona, you don’t have to call me that anymore, you can just talk.”“It’s not that I think Kang Jin-ho is going to do something. Who doesn’t know that he’s not capable of that?”“Then why?”“It’s not Kang Jin-ho, it’s that bitch that’s the problem.”“Huh?”Choi Yeon-ha gritted her teeth and said.“She hasn’t contacted him since they broke up, and now she’s contacting him again, it’s obvious. She’s planning to try something.”“No way. I can’t stand that. I can’t stand it because I’m so upset.”Han Eun-sol smiled contentedly.‘Her personality is still unmatched.’That was Choi Yeon-ha.“Should I call her instead?”“Huh? What are you going to do by calling her?”“You sly fox, don’t you dare flirt…”“Ugh! Seriously!”Han Eun-sol rushed over and snatched Choi Yeon-ha’s phone.“Noona! Please calm down!”“Do I look like I can calm down?”“Instead of that…”Han Eun-sol sighed deeply. First, he had to get through this situation somehow.“If what you said is true, that woman is going to try to meet Kang Jin-ho soon, right?”“That’s right.”“Then meet her after that, or grab her by the hair. If you try to do something now and nothing happens, you’ll just look foolish. Kang Jin-ho might not like it either.”“Really?”“Yes. That’s right.”“Hmm.”Choi Yeon-ha slowly brought her thumb to her mouth.“Hand!”“Tch!”Choi Yeon-ha lowered her hand and nodded.“Okay, I’ll hold back for now. But if you’re right and she contacts him or shows any signs of it, I’m really going to grab her by the hair.”“…Okay.”Han Eun-sol sighed.‘Kang Jin-ho should see this.’ She must have acted all nice in front of him. I’m sorry, Kang Jin-ho. I’m still Noona’s manager, so I can’t help you.“So, let’s go to work for now. Okay?”“Okay.”Han Eun-sol thought it was a relief that he had managed to resolve the situation, but he didn’t know. He didn’t know what kind of boomerang his words would become and come back to him.The world was turning faster and more fiercely than he thought.
