Enigma: Being Chased By A Sly Ghost Husband

"What nonsense are you uttering?" Manager Kim questioned as the frown on his face deepened.

"You understand what I mean, Manager Kim. Let's be amiable. I won't take your case to the police, and hopefully, you will be able to look past it as well. I did not use much strength in that punch, and if right ointment is used, the bruise will only remain for two to three days.

In all honesty, Manager Kim, Jeon Hyunbin definitely deserved that, and since you won't be paying me money, this is the only way I will be able to make myself satisfied. Then, I will be taking my leave. Do contact me in the future if you require my services," she vocalised, bowing at Manager Kim and then Jeon Hyunbin.

After that, she had turned her back on them and walked towards the exit. She heard Hyunbin call after her, but she did not pay any attention to that.

Although she had reacted coolly, the anger within her was rising, and it seemed that punch was not enough to satisfy her. She was at a desperate need for money, and this was utterly messed up. A groan left her mouth.

"Two more bottles of soju, Ahjumma!" Shin Ryujin exclaimed.

Her cheeks were flushed red due to the alcohol, and her hair was mess. In front of her was a table, and meat was being grilled by Min Aera on top of it.

As Min Aera flipped the meat, Ryujin extended her chopsticks towards it and picked up a piece of meat. Bringing it over to her nostrils, she took a whiff and then giggled.

As her words slurred, she spoke out, "As expected, meat tastes delicious. Aera-ah, I really, really, really love you. Should we get married? I will protect you for life while you keep me fed."

Min Aera chuckled and said, "Eat up; you must be really tired."

Raising her head, Ryujin stared at Aera, and blinking her eyes couple of times, she tried to clear her vision.

Then, she ranted, "That Hyunbin— he is a true jerk! He ruined the entire thing for me today! He locked me inside a room, and that's why, I punched on his jaw. I even lost my phone.

The fortune teller was right; my life is filled with thorns. Should I visit the church and pray diligently?"

"Aigoo! Don't worry too much. Who cares if you can't find a job? I will take care of you forever, so stop stressing yourself out," Aera vocalised.

Upon hearing those words from Min Aera, Ryujin's eyes sparkled, and she said, "Aera-ah, you are really sent by heaven to me. I really love you. Let's seriously get married."

That's when, a woman in her fifties walked over to their table, and placed both the bottle of soju above.

"Here is your two bottle of soju," the woman vocalised before she turned her back on them and began to walk away.

Extending her hand towards one of the bottles, Ryujin opened it, and bringing the bottle over to the glass in front of Aera, she poured the contents into her glass.

Smiling at Aera, she stated, "I can at least treat you to soju even if I can't buy you meat. But one day, I will buy you lots and lots of meat."

Picking up the small glass before her, Aera chuckled and voiced out, "I will be waiting for that day then."
