Violet Romance — Chapter 9

WE SHOULD STOP MEETING UP LIKE THIS.

FOR GOOD.

WHAT...?

I'M NOT INTO PLAYING GAMES...

SO SAY IT TO ME STRAIGHT.

ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS?

I MEAN IT.

NOW GO AWAY.

IT'S OKAY...

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING...

THOSE CUSTOMERS... THEY'RE DEFINITELY NOT FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

THEY'VE BEEN COMING AROUND EVERY DAY LATELY.

WHEN I SEE THAT BASTARD...

UM, SIRS?

IT'S CLOSING TIME NOW.

OH, YEAH?

ALRIGHT, THEN...

SEE YOU AGAIN.

GUESS TONIGHT'S ANOTHER BUST, HUH?

I EVEN BROUGHT MY TOOLS TODAY...

THAT BASTARD MOOSHIN... I HEARD HE'S BEEN SCREWING THE BITCH WHO OWNS THIS PLACE.

SO IF THINGS GO DOWN, WE WERE TOLD TO DRAG HER OFF TOO...

THEY'RE AFTER HIM...!

I-I NEED TO LET HIM KNOW.

OH, WAIT...

I DELETED HIS NUMBER...

Number has been deleted.

NO, STAY CALM.

HE'S NOT COMING BACK HERE ANYWAY.

IT WAS THE RIGHT CALL TO END THINGS WITH HIM.

IF HE DOESN'T SHOW UP HERE, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.

IT'LL ALL BE FINE...

YOUNG MASTER.

DIRECTOR.

YOU HAVEN'T GONE HOME RECENTLY...

HOW MANY NIGHTS HAS IT BEEN NOW?

THOUGH IT SEEMS YOU'RE FINDING PLACES TO WASH UP.

IS IT ANOTHER WOMAN THIS TIME?

WOMAN? NO...

I JUST BLEW OFF SOME STEAM, THAT'S ALL.

BUT FUCK, NO MATTER WHAT I DO, IT WON'T GO AWAY...

ANYWAY...

YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL, SIR.

CAREFUL? OF WHAT?

YOU ALMOST KILLED THE BAEKHO BOSS A FEW DAYS, DIDN'T YOU?

SINCE THEN...

LOOKS LIKE HIRED THUGS HAVE BEEN STIRRING UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

GOODBYE!

THANKS FOR THE FOOD, BAEKDAN!

GO ON AHEAD. I'LL JUST...

OH...

YOU'RE GONNA TELL HER?

HEY, BAEKDAN.

OH, SHARON?

YOU'RE NOT... DATING THAT OUTSIDER, ARE YOU?

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE ASK THAT QUESTION...

UGH...

NO...

SUIT·YOURSELF.

AND THAT MAN... HE'S NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN.

R-REALLY?

THAT GUY...

LATELY HE'S BEEN WANDERING INTO EVERY SHOP IN THIS ALLEY.

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE HE STARTED FUCKING SOMEONE ELSE OR ANYTHING.

JUST DRINKS HIMSELF STUPID AND LEAVES.

STILL, I THOUGHT I SHOULD TELL YOU.

I SEE.

THANK YOU.

BUT WHEREVER HE GOES...

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.

IS THAT SO?

THEN THAT'S A RELIEF...

SO HE'S BEEN HANGING AROUND THIS ALLEY...

YEAH, SINCE IT'S OVER WITH ME,

HE MUST NEED ANOTHER WOMAN NOW.

SO ANNOYING...

I'M GOING CRAZY WITH HOW MUCH IT PISSES ME OFF.

AND YET...

I'M WORRIED...

HE'S GOT MONEY, SO WHY DOESN'T HE JUST GO TO SOME FANCY NEIGHBORHOOD?

WHY DOES HE KEEP WANDERING AROUND HERE?

WAIT, BAEKDAN!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? THE SHOP-

YOU CAN STAY AND FINISH YOUR FOOD! I'M CLOSING EARLY TODAY!

YOU CAN STAY AND FINISH YOUR FOOD!

WHERE IS HE? WHERE...?

I MUST BE CRAZY.

HOW WOULD I KNOW WHICH SHOP HE'S IN JUST BY WANDERING AROUND LIKE THIS...?

I'LL JUST GO IN AND...

ASK
