The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Side Story Episode 4

Woojijik. I crushed the paper cup in my hand. The mixed coffee that was filling the paper cup overflowed and wet the folder.

“Oh my.”

Heena was embarrassed and wiped the wet paper. But it was already too late. The paper was so wet that the letters were unrecognizable.

“What’s going on? “Why are you acting blankly like this all of a sudden?”

Woo Min-ah was surprised and wiped Heena’s hands.

“No… I just suddenly remembered something and clenched my fist without realizing it.”

Heena tore up the wet paper and threw it in the trash.

“Anyway, I guess I’ll have to go to the HR department and get it again. “I had something to look at, but it was so wet I couldn’t use it.”

“What do you want to see?”

“Jinhyeon, here’s your schedule for this month.”

“Him? Nothing special will happen this month, right?”

“…is it so?”

Doubts rose in Heena’s mind.

‘weird? Apparently, I had work yesterday too so I came home really late?’

Thanks to this, I fell asleep without even being able to talk to Jinhyeon Kang.

I was going to talk about the restaurant that Kang Jin-hyeon secretly goes to.

I didn’t mean to get angry. I was just… curious and there were a lot of things I wanted to ask.

Was he tired of my food, what part of his food did he like so much, how would he feel if I learned to cook French food, etc… These were very ‘trivial’ questions.

Of course, if Kang Jin-hyeon cannot answer properly, there may be a big problem.

But anyway, what’s important now is the fact that Hee-na didn’t even see the ends of Kang Jin-hyeon’s hair last night.

‘From what I remember, my schedule this week was a bit tight… Are you taking time off to go to a different restaurant? ‘I need to find out what the heck you’re doing!’

Heena jumped up from her seat with a determined expression.

“Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon, what is your schedule? Ah yes. “Hold on a moment. I’ll pull it out for you right away.”

When I asked a member of the human resources team for Jinhyun Kang’s schedule for this month, he quickly pulled out a table and handed it to me.

And Heena was speechless for a moment.

‘what? ‘Is this very different from what I remember?’

Kang Jin-hyeon’s schedule, which I received directly from HR manager Kang Mok-hyeon at the beginning of the month, was quite dense.

It was natural. This is because Kang Mok-hyeon handed over the pre-edited version of the schedule to cheer on his younger brother’s surprise event.

Heena, who did not know this fact, was dumbfounded and pointed at the monthly schedule.

“Why is it so empty here this month? “I remember you were very busy.”

A member of the human resources team who was unaware of his team leader’s tearful love for his younger brother had no choice but to obediently answer what he knew.

“ah. I understand that it was left blank at the request of Hunter Jinhyeon Kang. So, most of the schedules were postponed or canceled.”

“Is that so?”

“Surprising, right? I’ve been working here for quite a while and this is my first time experiencing something like this. “I can’t believe the world’s workaholic Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon would ask for such a request.”

“Ah yes.”

Heena answered yes, yes, with a dumb expression and returned to the office.

My head was pounding.

“Jinhyeon, what on earth are you hiding?”

When I checked the schedule yesterday, it was completely empty except for a small meeting in the morning. There was absolutely no reason to come in so late at night.

“It’s suspicious. “It’s so suspicious.”

Heena rested her chin and thought.

I completely forgot how disappointed I felt about the fact that Kang Jin-hyeon liked other people’s food more.

That’s right, Kang Jin-hyeon’s actions seemed a bit grandiose for the simple reason of ‘secretly going to his favorite restaurant.’

‘There’s definitely something more.’

Heena’s instincts sharpened. I was just about to fall into thought, tapping my fingers on the desk.

Jiyiing.

My phone vibrated. It was a text message alarm.

“Ugh. “I’m thinking about something important. Who are you really?”

I grumbled and checked the caller, and it turned out to be Kang Jin-hyeon.

[Jinhyeon♥: Heena, something suddenly came up, so I don’t think I’ll be able to come in tonight.]

[Jinhyeon♥: I’m really sorry. Instead, I will make sure to go out on a date tomorrow.]

[Mr. Jinhyeon♥: We have reserved seats at Le Blanc, which we often saw, so you can go in early.]

For reference, ‘Le Blanc’ is the destination where Heena arrived yesterday while following Jinhyeon Kang. So, it was ‘the’ fine dining restaurant.

Heena hit her forehead on the desk.

“Is it Le Blanc again? “What on earth are you thinking, Jinhyeon?”

At this point, it was difficult to guess how the situation was going to progress.

Heena stomped her feet for a while and then jumped up from her seat.

“I really don’t know!”

When my mind was complicated, I had to clean myself and control my insides.

Heena thought as she searched for a mop and duster.

‘When I meet Jinhyeon tomorrow, I’ll ask him openly! ‘I’m so upset I can’t bear it like this!’

It didn’t suit Heena’s temperament to be suspicious and upset alone. It’s best to talk about things openly rather than ruminating about them.

* * *

On the day of the date. Despite my gloomy mood, I was dressed nicely.

Going to a nice restaurant is part of going, but I didn’t want to mess up my date attire just because I was in a bad mood.

‘Anyway, it was an appointment made several weeks ago.’

I vividly remember how happy Kang Jin-hyeon was when we set the appointment date.

‘As if it were a special day.’

Heena carelessly overlooked a very important hint.

When I opened the door to Le Blanc and entered, the waitress immediately greeted Heena.

“Are you Heena Lee? “I will take you this way.”

Heena walked into the store and looked around. Even though it was dinner time, there was not a single person. It was always crowded with reservations…

“Did they rent the entire restaurant?”

As I muttered something under my breath, the waitress ahead of me smiled and looked back.

“you’re right. Heena Lee is our store’s sole customer today. “It’s a special day, right?”

“Oh, I see….”

I had experienced this kind of thing many times while dating Kang Jin-hyeon, so it wasn’t shocking.

‘At least it would be a hundred times cheaper to rent a small restaurant like this than to rent a hotel lounge.’

As she was around Jinhyeon Kang, Heena’s concept of money became quite bold. Although I still can’t avoid my eyes sparkling at supermarket sales.

“Then I will be waiting over there, so please call me anytime if you need any service.”

As soon as the waitress left with a polite greeting, I looked at my watch. It was just past 6 o’clock sharp.

‘The appointment was until 6 o’clock. ‘Are you a little late today?’

Kang Jin-hyeon always came first and was never late, so this situation was a little awkward.

While Heena was awkwardly fiddling with her napkin, her cell phone rang. It was a text message.

[Jinhyeon♥: I’m sorry. I think it’s going to be a little late. 1 Could you wait for 0 minutes?]

The message seemed to have been written in a hurry and was full of typos. It was completely different from my usual routine of always sending formal, straightforward messages.

Thanks to this, trust has soared.

‘okay. I wonder if there’s an emergency. Jinhyeon must have been really busy to type like this.’

So Heena waited for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes… 20 minutes… 30 minutes.

Heena took turns looking at the waitress standing in the distance and at the clock.

‘When is Mr. Jinhyeon coming? Are you coming today?’

Embarrassment and embarrassment suddenly rose up. This is because I felt like I was guarding the empty store alone.

‘Anyway, something happened? There’s no way Jinhyeon was late for 30 minutes without saying anything.’

At this point, I was even worried about Kang Jin-hyeon not coming.

‘Should I at least make a phone call?’

As I was nervously fiddling with my phone, a waitress came over and filled my empty water glass and set the dishes.

“uh? “The guests haven’t arrived yet….”

“The guest’s dish has just been completed, so the chef wants to serve it right away.”

“But…”

“You have nothing to worry about. are you okay.”

The waitress whispered softly in Heena’s ear and quickly backed away.

Heena was very embarrassed and grabbed her cell phone. I was planning to send a message to Kang Jin-hyeon, saying, ‘I think the dining will start without Jin-hyeon!’

While she was frantically tapping on her phone screen, a white plate was placed in front of Heena. It was probably an appetizer.

Heena, angry at the rudeness of serving food so recklessly, snapped back in a somewhat irritated manner.

“I’ll start eating when my group arrives. I’m not eating now. “Please pass it on.”

“…That’s troublesome.”

A familiar voice was heard from above my head. Heena, who was looking at her cell phone, quickly lifted her head.

“Ji Ji Jinhyeon? “What on earth is this?”

Heena stuttered at the scene unfolding before her eyes.

Jinhyeon Kang, neatly dressed in a white chef uniform, was standing next to the table.
