I spent some time playing around with Dan-tto.
While I had plenty of complicated tasks to juggleâlike inspections, drafting plans, and breaking ground on new projectsâmost of them were already set in motion. My role was largely to provide direction, leaving the execution to my secretaries. This left me with more free time than usual.
After a few days of idling, however, I found myself caught up in a serious dilemma.@@novelbin@@
Go Minji had been a huge help lately, and I couldnât stop obsessing over how to properly repay her.
Sure, she said sheâd be happy if I just dropped by and hung out, but itâs not that simple, is it? Showing up empty-handed just didnât sit right with me.
Itâs common courtesy to visit someone with gifts in both handsâespecially when you owe them so much. I couldnât imagine showing up without bringing anything.
âNot like I can just give her âEternal Enchantment.ââ
That flaming rose I gave Min-youngâif Iâd been ignorant of its meaning, maybe I couldâve pulled it off. But knowing what it symbolized? Giving the same gift to my cousin felt⦠wrong.
Even if I was keeping certain options open.
Besides, Min-young and Minji were mother and daughter. If they ever compared notes and realized Iâd given them the same gift, it could lead to some awkward conversations.
âIâve got nothing.â
I even considered weapons.
