It no longer surprised her.
“Have you had lunch, Team Leader Jin?”
“Did you enjoy your meal with the director, Pianist Oh Sejin?”
“Please, feel free to call me informally.”
Looking at Sejin’s relaxed face, Yura suddenly thought of the phrase ‘scumbag.’
If this hadn’t been the office, she really would have liked to address him that way. If their meeting hadn’t been intertwined with work, perhaps Yura might have been willing to exchange pleasantries.
Despite the lack of any decency in how they parted, she had accepted that it was the extent of his capacity and concluded it was his character. So, there was no lingering affection for Sejin.
The sharpness in Yura’s interaction with Sejin stemmed from one reason: the displeasure of his petty desire to rekindle a long-ended relationship by unnecessarily entangling with her.
“No, I cannot afford to be impolite to an artist who should be treated with respect.”
“I’m fine with it.”
Yura, maintaining a professional demeanor, spoke in a stiff tone, erecting a firm wall. In response, Sejin gave an awkward smile, seemingly regretful.
She never thought she’d find his face repulsive. Yura scrutinized Sejin’s face.
Nothing had significantly changed, but the disgust she felt now was strong enough to make her want to retch. Masking these repulsive emotions with a gentle smile, Yura asked politely.
“What brings you here?”
“I wanted to discuss something regarding the practice room.”
“I’m coordinating the nearest available practice room and time. It might be a bit inconvenient, but for now, please use the piano provided in your hotel room.”
“Is that practice room cancellable?”
Yura held back a sigh at this seemingly intentional obstruction.
“The practice room is still under verbal agreement, so canceling it isn’t a big issue. It just feels oddly uncomfortable that it keeps getting purposefully complicated.”
“Is there any issue?”
Standing in the middle of the office, Sejin glanced around, a sign Yura recognized well. She should have led him to a meeting room or her office when they met, but she avoided being alone with him, hence this awkward location. Yura pretended not to understand his hesitation.
“It’s okay, speak freely.”
“I’d prefer to talk in a quieter place.”
Realizing there was no more holding back, Yura nodded slowly and led Sejin to her office.
Aware of the watching eyes of her staff, she intentionally did not draw the blinds. Gesturing towards a comfortable seat, she walked to the coffee machine by the window.
“What would you like to drink?”
“I’m fine, thanks.”
Yura inserted a capsule into the coffee machine and turned back to Sejin, who still stood by the sofa, not taking a seat. His slow motion of running fingers over his knuckles was a habit he displayed when he had something to say.
She wanted to ask what he wanted to talk about, but not wanting to reveal that she still remembered his little habits, she said something else.
“Please, take a seat.”
“Could you please lower the blinds?”
“Oh, yes.”
Yura responded belatedly as the coffee machine stopped, then approached her desk. She took the remote control from the pencil holder and lowered the blinds of the window, obscuring the view of the office.
“Now, finally…!”
“Why did you cut your hair?”
Sejin’s hand, which had swiftly approached, brushed against Yura’s short hair.
Thud. Yura tilted her body to the side to create distance, sharply swatting away his hand.
The audacity of these men, touching someone else’s body parts so nonchalantly. Yura’s face twisted in disgust.
Sejin’s action reminded her of her recent encounter with Lee Hyun, intensifying her distaste for their intrusive behavior. She wanted to report this if possible.
Yura brushed past Sejin, standing at her feet, and returned to the coffee machine area. She sharply criticized his behavior with a scornful voice.
“Pianist Oh Sejin, I would appreciate it if you could show some manners.”
“Well, short hair suits you too.”
“Hah.”
Yura sighed deeply as she reached for her coffee cup. Just like in the car before, he was revealing his shallow intentions when they were alone.
“Did you cut it because of me?”
“Is there an issue with the practice room?”
Ignoring his worthless question, Yura attempted to return to their previous conversation.
A look of disappointment and regret was evident in Sejin’s eyes as he gazed at Yura. But she, undeterred and consistent in her demeanor, just stared back at him indifferently.
“Hmm, right. This is an office, after all.”
Sejin raised his hand, changing his tone.
“I’d like to practice at the studio I used to go to.”
He didn’t specify which studio he was talking about, but as expected, Yura knew exactly where he meant. She had dropped him off there countless times, and even after five years, she could find it without difficulty.
“It’s on the outskirts of the city, a bit far, but it’s a place I’m familiar with and comfortable in.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
