Chapter 123: Chapter 123 – A Quiet Break
(Finally... I’m here.)
About half an hour had passed since Sohen left Minju at the lakeside café.
He quickly made his way to the Injustice Center, where Runo was already waiting for him at the entrance.
She happily hugged her grandson, but her eyes betrayed her concern.
- (Runo). "Thank you for coming so quickly... It’s complete chaos here."
It turned out that a serious conflict had broken out within the organization.
The chief SEO specialist, whose name was Roxana, had been fired.
Runo didn’t fully understand all the details herself, but she knew the main thing: Roxana had had a major falling-out with management, started acting erratically, and, as an act of revenge, had seriously damaged the organization’s main website.
Now it was barely functioning.
(Roxana, yeah... Well, she was quite capable of doing that.)
Sohen knew Roxana.
He had been here with Runo several times and had formed an opinion of her.
Roxana was talented but extremely lazy, had a difficult personality, was overweight, and was constantly in conflict with her colleagues.
For some reason, she hated Sohen and called him a "handsome freak."
(A handsome freak?... And what the hell does that mean?)
Sohen had long since realized that she was just an insecure sexist who hated men in general.
(A typical American "Karen." A middle-aged woman who’s way too confrontational, self-centered, and demanding... and a sexist, too, who turns her personal failures into a form of abuse and "gifts" it to those around her. If it weren’t for her talent in the things she’s good at, she’d probably... God knows what she would have done. It’s a total disaster to seriously fall out with people who share a similar philosophy and get fired on the spot.)
Runo explained that Roxana had gotten into a fight with Runo’s friend’s assistant, who was the organization’s vice president.
After getting fired, Roxana managed to do something to the website, and now the whole system was down.
Sohen, of course, had an intermediate understanding of IT, but this wasn’t a small office — it was a large organization with a complex infrastructure. He honestly warned Runo that he probably wouldn’t be able to fully fix everything, but he’d try.
He spent five hours at the computer, using the help of his AI chatbot, GroGPT.
(If it weren’t for GroGPT, things would have been... pretty dire, for sure.)
Thanks to this, he managed to get the website at least up and running at a basic level.
It wasn’t a perfect result, but it was enough for the organization to function normally until they could hire a proper specialist.
Runo was very pleased.
She hugged Sohen and began... to flirt gently right there in the office.
- (Me). "???"
- (Runo). "You’re my hero... Maybe we should reward you properly?"
(Horny GILF... We’re going to be in trouble if my dick loses control. That would be too much for the Injustice Center. First, the chief specialist gets fired and takes some pretty brutal revenge, and then one of the organization’s ideological comrades has sex with a man right in the building... This is total trash.)
Sohen blushed slightly and stopped her hand, which was already heading toward his groin.
- (Me). "Runo, not here... And I’m not in the mood right now. I have to go; I’m running really late."
Runo puffed out her cheeks a little, but understood and backed off.
- (Runo). "Okay... By the way — do you have a meeting? With someone?"
Sohen nodded awkwardly.
- (Me). "Yeah... With my biological mother."
- (Runo). "..."
Runo’s face instantly turned serious.
- (Runo). "What does that bi... want this time?"
- (Me). "..."
(You wanted to say "What does that bitch want this time?", right? Anyway... she might very well call it that, since she doesn’t know her. I still have a lot of questions for Minju myself, but...)
- (Me). "When you called, I was with her. We talked about a lot of things, and she told me a lot of interesting things... I need to find out a few more things from her, and then, when we’re all home, I’ll tell you some news that’s very important and unexpected."
- (Runo). "..."
Runo wanted to say something... in a more profane way, but she held back and...
- (Runo). "Be careful with her and don’t trust her too much."
- (Me). "Okay."
As he was leaving, Sohen started to say goodbye to her, but before walking away, he looked around and, seeing that no one was nearby, stepped quite close to her and kissed her... on the cheek.
- (Runo). "Hah..."
- (Me). "Runo?"
- (Runo). "Dangerous... Bad boy..."
- (Me). "???"
While Sohen tried to make sense of his grandmother’s strange reaction, Runo instantly wrapped her arms around her grandson’s neck and passionately kissed him on the lips with her tongue.
(Well... you could call that "oral work" too...)
The kiss lasted for a minute and only then broke off.
After this passionate exchange of fluids, a string of saliva formed between them, which Runo’s finger broke.
She erotically licked that finger and...
- (Runo). "I can’t wait any longer... Come back soon."
- (Me). "..."
From such "action," Sohen began to get an erection, but he quickly calmed down and smiled to say...
- (Me). "I’ll be soon."
Only after those words did he finally leave Runo.
When Sohen left the building, Runo stood there for a few more seconds, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
In the end, she had to dial it twice more before the person she was calling answered.
- (???). "Hello. What’s up?"
A serious female voice sounded on the other end of the line.
- (Runo). "I haven’t been able to reach you for a few days now."
- (???). "Sorry. I’m in a different place right now, and the cell service is pretty weak here."
- (Runo). "Don’t worry. Sorry to bother you, but I have some news and... a small favor to ask. I need to find out more about a woman. Her name is... Minju."
...
About ten minutes had passed since he left the Injustice Center.
Sohen was walking down the street, still feeling a slight fatigue in his legs after five hours at the computer, when he suddenly stopped in the middle of the sidewalk.
(Damn... What am I supposed to do now...)
Only now did he realize the obvious.
The young man had rushed to Runo’s aid so quickly that he hadn’t even gotten Minju’s... phone number.
The inheritance documents were also still with her, though in this situation, it would have been better if she had them.
(I can’t exactly carry a folder full of documents like that around town...)
He stopped at the crosswalk and ran his hand heavily across his face, starting to blame himself.
(Brilliant, Sohen. That’s what happens when you don’t think with your head.)
While Sohen continued to self-critically tell himself who he was, his phone suddenly rang.
- (Me). "???"
An unknown number appeared on the screen.
He was a little surprised, but answered the call anyway.
- (Me). "Hello?"
- (Minju). "Sohen? It’s me, Mom. Sorry I haven’t called in so long. I’ve been a little busy."
- (Me). "..."
(How did she get my phone number? I definitely didn’t give it to her...)
- (Me). "No, it’s fine! I just got free now and was already thinking about how to get in touch with you... Sorry I left so quickly."
- (Minju). "It’s okay. I’m on XX Street right now, near a big real estate agency. I’ll be waiting for you at a small café nearby. Can you come over?"
- (Me). "Yeah, sure. I’ll be there soon."
- (Minju). "I’ll be waiting."
Sohen hung up and stood there for a few seconds, staring at his phone.
(XX Street... it’s almost a three-hour walk there. That’s far... Well, whatever...)
Holding the phone in his hands, he quickly dialed the number of a taxi driver he knew, who arrived a few minutes later.
Sohen got into the car, gave the address, and set off to see his biological mother.
