Reboot the heyday

The restaurant is located on a high floor of the building, overlooking the night view of the Han River.

Outside the glass curtain wall, there is a flowing river of cars and dazzling lights, while inside, there is soft lighting, jazz music, and exquisite food presentation.

Eun-jung had indeed chosen a nice place, elegant yet private. It was expensive, but not a big deal for Wang Taika.

Yes, it feels so good to be rich.

It is worth mentioning.
Eun-jung really hadn't changed her clothes; she was still wearing her secretary uniform, except that she had buttoned an extra button on her white shirt and rolled up her sleeves to her forearms, making her look less stiff and more casual and relaxed. Her high heels made a deep, sexy sound on the soft carpet.

Wang Taika followed behind her, his gaze sweeping over her slender waist and straight legs. He had to admit that this "work attire" in a non-work setting created a unique visual impact and a subtle sense of psychological transgression.

Hehe, I'm such a weirdo.

The waiter led them to their reserved window seats.

Eunjung sat down, naturally bringing her knees together, and ladylike handed the menu to Wang Taika: "Oppa, take a look, what would you like to eat? I heard that the Korean beef and seafood here are quite good."

Wang Taika didn't take the menu, but just looked at her and said, "You order. You're in charge today. I'll go along with whatever you want."

Eun-jung didn't refuse. She lowered her head and carefully studied the menu, her fingertips tracing the names of the dishes, occasionally asking the waiter a few questions in a low voice.

Wang Taika rested his chin on his hand and watched her, observing her slightly furrowed brows as she pondered, the occasional lick of her lips, and the way her eyes lit up when she found a dish she liked.

What's the point of working so hard to make money if not for this very moment?

After ordering, the waiter left. Only the two of them remained at the table, the crystal glasses shimmering with water, reflecting the dappled light from the overhead lamp.

In the steamy atmosphere, Eunjung suddenly said softly, "A few days ago, before I came back, I chatted with Boram unnie."

Wang Taika paused for a moment: "Oh? What did you talk about?"

"We talked about choices, and what remains unchanged." Eun-jung didn't go into too much detail.

Wang Taika nodded: "She has always been very clear about what she wants and what she doesn't want."

“Sometimes I think it’s good this way. Not everyone has to walk the same path. But don’t you feel it’s a pity?” Eun-jung asked tentatively.

After all, of the six members of Crown, five seemed to have already fallen into the trap, while only one remained detached, like a discordant note.

Yes, Wang Taika also wants to have all the beautiful women in the world under his control.

But is it possible?

Wang Taika simply hadn't expected Eun-jung to be so direct. If someone else had asked, they would have given examples first, then gradually steered the conversation towards the topic. It would take at least a chapter of the story to progress to this point.

But Eun-jung is very straightforward. And it's true, everyone in this world is different, everyone has their own personality, and Wang Tai-ka sometimes makes too many assumptions.

Therefore, Eun-jung is different too. That's good.

Wang Taika laughed at this thought, because it felt wonderful and even overshadowed the topic Eunjung had brought up.

"Feelings are something you can't plan," Wang Taika said. "Just like I've never planned what would happen between me and any of you. Everything just happens naturally. Or rather, it's the result of accumulated experiences. That's normal, and we shouldn't be held hostage by 'the general trend'."

Eun-jung stared at Wang Tai-ka, trying to see if he was really him. Had he changed his personality?

Anyway, she's dressed so sexily today, which is exactly what Wang Taika likes to see. Even if he really presses her, she shouldn't get angry, right? Hmm... it's hard to say, considering the person in front of her is a lunatic. But Wang Taika isn't that petty. He smiled, with a hint of self-deprecation: "Sometimes I can be quite greedy, and I know how to take advantage of others. But what I'm greedy for has to be something that others are willing to give. I naturally won't ask for the kind of feelings that Boram isn't willing to give, or can't give, and I have no right to feel sorry about it. It's already very good that we can be friends like this, partners who have fought side by side."

En listened quietly, a corner of her heart softening slightly.

Yes, the most despicable yet also the most admirable thing about this guy is that he always clearly hands over the choice to the other party. Even if he has already laid a trap and the bait is tempting, the final switch is in each person's own hand.

That's why it feels unforgettable. Because you really have a choice.

Actually, Eun-jung didn't ask this question to force Wang Taika to acknowledge Boram; she's not that despicable. If relationships are a cake, then the fewer people sharing it, the better.

Regardless of the future, Wang Taika's statement now is quite encouraging. He may have money and power, which will inevitably change his behavior, but his character remains the same, and that's enough.

Although Eun-jung felt she was always making mistakes, she couldn't possibly be wrong about Wang Tai-ka. How could someone like that possibly fall any further in terms of morality?

"Then Oppa," Eunjung changed the subject, staring into Wang Taika's eyes, "did you have ulterior motives towards each of us from the beginning? Or did you gradually become like this?"

Wang Taika was taken aback by the question and coughed twice: "Well, at first it was purely because I couldn't stand it anymore, plus a bit of empathy got the better of me, and I wanted to be a savior? But later, as we spent more time together, you were all so charming, and you became more and more unguarded around me. I'm just an ordinary man, how could I withstand this kind of test? However, the reasons and timing for falling for each person are different."

Eun-jung shook her head: "Liar."

“It’s the truth!” Wang Taika said.

“It’s the truth, but it sounds very official. I want to hear something less official,” Eun-jung added.

Wang Taika thought for a moment, then looked at Eunjung: "Then let's talk about you, Panda Jung. At first, I just thought your style was unique, that you were a very cool type. Hmm, later I also found you quite amusing when you looked so wronged."

"So, in the end, you just like bullying people, huh?" Eun-jung defiantly blew on her hair. "Being pretty is a sin!"

Wang Taika couldn't help but laugh, but didn't deny it: "Yes, it's because you're so pretty that I want to tease you. But I didn't go too far."

"Who said that? We even had a Taekwondo match before, and you fouled and threw me down!" Eun-jung's expression turned into a grimace.

"Is that so?" Wang Taika thought for a moment, then laughed. "I remember now, there was such a thing. But back then you were too arrogant, knowing only Taekwondo, and you kept talking about it all the time. When did you ever see Longzai say anything like that?"

Eun-jung laughed and said, "Fine, we'll spar again next time."

Wang Taika immediately said, "Then will this outfit suit you?"

Eun-jung nearly spat out a mouthful of blood as she angrily retorted, "That was a friendly sparring match! Did you want to take advantage of me? You just wanted to see me exposed, didn't you?!"

Wang Taika didn't finish his sentence, but his eyes said it all.

Honestly, to be this shameless, the relationship must be quite close; otherwise, they'd be asking for a beating.

Now the food is finally served.

Eun-jung's ears felt a little hot, and she lowered her head: "Okay, let's eat, it's getting cold."

Huh? What kind of answer is this? What does it mean? Does it mean they're tacitly agreeing? Is this even possible? No, I was just saying it casually; I didn't expect it to actually happen!

Alright, that's enough. Let's just muddy the waters. If we explain further, this good thing will be ruined! (End of Chapter)
