Guide Me If You Dare novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: HOUSE VISIT

"WELCOME to my humble abode, Ahjuhyung," Yuno said sleepily after letting Ki Gayoon in. "I only have instant coffee and ramen." He then pulled out his phone and immediately opened his message box with Moon Noa. "I'll send a message to Sajangnim and tell him you're already here. If he says he can come earlier than planned, then I'll ask him to bring breakfast for us."

As expected, Ki Gayoon scoffed. "Why must you mooch off your boss when I'm here? I didn't come empty-handed, you know?"

Yuno quickly turned around and faced the Esper. "For real? I thought Ahjuhyung had left his manners in his mother's womb."

"I woke up early, so I don't have the energy to humor you, punk," Ki Gayoon said, and then he snapped his fingers. "Here."

Two briefcases suddenly appeared out of nowhere and were now suspended in the air.

Ahjuhyung pulled the cases from his Inventory, and then he used his telekinesis power to keep them afloat.

But...

"Ahjuhyung, people usually give tissue rolls or other useful household items when visiting for the first time," Yuno said nervously. "Just what did you bring—"

Ki Gayoon snapped his fingers again, and then the briefcases opened by themselves.

Money.

The briefcases were both filled with money.

"Each case contains one hundred million won," Ki Gayoon said bluntly while crossing his arms over his chest. For some reason, he looked proud. "Buy whatever you want to eat with this pocket money I brought for you."

Wow.

Two hundred million won was just "pocket money" to this old man?

Yuno sighed while shaking his head. "Ahjuhyung, you can't really beat the gangster allegations against you, huh?"

***

YUNO took twenty thousand won out of the two hundred million won that Ki Gayoon offered as a gift.

Then he used it to order breakfast for them.

He ordered coffee and sandwiches for two people only since Moon Noa said he'd be there after his breakfast meeting with the president of the Esper Association.

Sajangnim scheduled the meeting around noon for a reason.

But Ki Gayoon was rude enough to ruin the plan just to annoy Yuno.

I'll give Ahjuhyung an A for his dedication to get on my nerves, though.

"Just to be clear, the two hundred million won that I brought is just a house visit gift," Ki Gayoon said while they were sharing the small dining table in the kitchen. "That's not the amount I'm going to offer you when we make our contract later."

Right.

Of course, that means I will get to negotiate my new salary with my new employer.
