In an exact moment. Not one second later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call was coming from Chaewon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like she had been waiting with the phone for the last five minutes, impatiently waiting the time to call him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then noticed that it wasn’t just any call. It was FaceTime. He quickly straightened his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped sitting so lazily, then lifted the phone to his face, and answered the call with one button press.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call connected, and he was met with the smiling face of Chaewon. She was fresh-looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like she had just returned from work, changed to her casual clothes, and started waiting till she could call him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just looked at each other. Both forgot to start the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon was quite distracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The FaceTime showed Chaewon’s face. It also showed something else. Her breasts pushing her shirt up. Fang Raon couldn’t help but stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled after seeing Raon’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, she spent a couple of hours trying to pick clothes for her phone call with Fang Raon and wanted to make it so that it was impossible for him to resist her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe~ How’s the day been? Did you play today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... No. I didn’t play today... Kind of... I went to shopping today, and then I actually participated in Black Online Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A tournament? That’s exciting! How did you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know whether she was actually excited or she was just trying to be polite, but it made him feel good either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got fourth. I kinda got crushed, but it is what it is~ I won some of the prize money, at least.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s really good then. I’ve heard that those tournaments are usually very competitive. And you haven’t even played for that long!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true that he had played only a little bit longer than a month, but it didn’t really make him feel better either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Hiroto’s first time playing, and he could’ve also defeated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about the work? Did you get a new patient to take care of now that I am not there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am just assisting other nurses for now. I don’t want another patient. I don’t want to cheat on you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think that it is exactly cheating... Haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he realized what he said as it sounded like they were dating, which they were not, and quickly cleared his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is your job, so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon smiled mischievously, and then she flipped her hair back and rubbed her feet together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was thinking of changing professions. I’d probably become home caretaker instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah~ Shorter working hours, less stress, and more time to relax. I had been looking for, and I saw that there are many benefits to working as a home caretaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mother’s friend’s daughter was in an accident and is bedridden, and I thought I could start with her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nice that you want to help them. You are also basically working slave hours, so I think it is a good choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am glad that you think that way. My mother is very concerned that I might be making a mistake, but I don’t think so!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.437Z",1,"novelbin.me","f136f96f63a5ab21b59356c95f62a099c09d03a8abfa19c17ec09a380327cbbf","black-online-chapter-148","black-online-chapter-146",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
