The hand he tightly held, he did not let go. His hand was strong, unlike her small and tender one.
“Start… with the hand?”
“Yes.”
Eun Woo held her hand as if it was natural.
“Do you dislike it?”
“I don’t dislike it, but…”
It wasn’t that she disliked it, but…
It felt as if her heart wasn’t in her chest, but in the hand that he held.
Thump, thump.
Her previously cold fingertips became hot. Seol Hee avoided his gaze which was fixed intently on her. Her pale neck had turned red in no time. She bowed her head and tapped the floor with her toes.
“Do we have to go this far?”
“I think we need to do at least this much to avoid suspicion.”
How far did they have to go to avoid suspicion? Did they have to be this thorough? Going on dates, holding hands, and…
She looked up at him. His eyes shone in the dark. Underneath were his sharp nose and his red lips…
Lips.
Surely, they wouldn’t go that far, would they?
He slightly bit his lip. A corner of her heart felt prickly at this sight.
He didn’t notice it, did he?
What was she thinking? There was no way. Seol Hee quickly bowed her head when she realized her thoughts had run away to an unimaginable place.
“No. It’s not that.”
“Hmm?”
When Seol Hee mumbled to herself, Eun Woo tilted his head and looked at her.
“It’s nothing.”
“What do you mean by nothing?”
He lowered his head and looked at Seol Hee’s face. The space between them suddenly became narrow.
His warm breath hung in the air between them.
She couldn’t even speak out her worry if she had to go beyond holding hands. In the end, she couldn’t say anything and just held his hand as they got up.
Thump.
In the dimly lit parking lot, it felt dizzying to be holding hands with Eun Woo. Their soft flesh brushed against each other.
In that awkward moment of walking…
A door to a building suddenly opened and someone came out.
A cute, roundfaced man. He blinked his dim eyes to see who had come and ran towards Eun Woo when he saw him.
“Oh!”
Were they acquaintances? Without any hesitation, he ran towards them, waving his hand, and shouted at Eun Woo.
“Oh, young master, you’re here!”
Young master…?
Seol Hee looked up at Eun Woo. His previously calm face was now scrunched up.
“Oh, I am so grateful that our young master has come all this way.”
“Jin Ho.”
His voice sounded angry.
“What young master?”
At his harsh words, Jin Ho, who was smiling and waving his hand earlier, froze.
“Ah.”
“You want to die? What did I say when I called you?”
Eun Woo exuded an aura of danger as if he would knock down the man in front of him at any moment. The man raised his hand in surrender.
“No, I was just… You rarely come here. You didn’t even meet me because you were busy lately. So, I was just really happy to see you.”
“…”
“Don’t get angry, it’s scary.”
Eun Woo exhaled lightly. Jin Ho seemed to notice something.
“You’re not angry, right?”
“No, thank you for staying until this late. Ah, Miss Seol Hee.”
He pointed at Jin Ho and changed the subject.
“This is Jin Ho. We went to the same university. This is Miss Yu Seol Hee.”
Seol Hee did not expect to meet someone he knew personally, so she blinked her eyes and bowed.
“Hello.”
“Oh, yes. Hello, Miss Yu Seol Hee? You have a very pretty name. Wow, wow…”
Just as Jin Ho was greeting her, his eyes landed on Eun Woo and Seol Hee’s intertwined hands. His eyes widened as he looked back and forth between Eun Woo and Seol Hee.
“What’s going on, what’s going on. Eun Woo is really with a woman. Oh, my God. This is not a dream, is it? I can’t believe I’m seeing this situation.”
Just as Jin Ho started to ramble again, Eun Woo growled at him.
“Jin Ho. What did I tell you?”
At Eun Woo’s warning, Jin Ho’s mouth clamped shut.
“Don’t do this.”
Eun Woo’s teeth gritted. Jin Ho stepped back as if he was scared, and smiled awkwardly at Seol Hee.
“I’m Jin Ho. I… I got excited because it’s the first time I’ve seen Eun Woo with a woman. I apologize for my rudeness.”
He scratched the back of his head with his hand as he apologized.
“Nice to meet you. I’m a close friend of Eun Woo.”
“Just a friend.”
Jin Ho interrupted Eun Woo’s words.
“She’s my best friend.”
“Since when are you my best friend?”
“Do you have anyone closer than me?”
Looking at their bickering conversation, it seemed they were really close.
Eun Woo always had an image like being surrounded by a rigid armor. In the hospital, he hardly ever talked about his private life, and he hardly ever smiled warmly if the person in front of him wasn’t a guardian.
So, even Teacher Ok had a friend. And such an informal friend at that. Jin Ho said, grinning widely.
“I’m glad you’re here, anyway. You can go in and have a look. Eun Woo probably knows more than me, so there’s no need for guidance, right? It would be better if you two spend some time alone.”
At Jin Ho’s drawnout word ‘alone’, Eun Woo’s expression turned grim again.
Grunt.
The sound of Eun Woo grinding his teeth echoed. At that sound, Jin Ho cringed and raised his hands.
“You’re gonna hit me, aren’t you?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
