Two days before Baek Lee Hyun proposed marriage.
Buried in a pile of documents, Yura rubbed her tired eyes and stood up from her seat.
Having completed the reports, she left the manager’s office to check on other progress. As she moved, the team’s junior, Ji Hye, hurried over and handed her some printouts.
“Manager Jin, here’s the schedule.”
“Ah, thanks, Ji Hye.”
Yura confirmed the densely packed schedule of the upcoming performance and stepped forward. Weaving through the desks, she reached Seong Hoon’s desk and asked.
“Seong Hoon, have you notified the production team?”
“Yes.”
As her sharp eyes swept over the bustling office, the phone rang loudly. Eun Young answered the call and raised her voice.
“Manager Jin, the courier is here.”
“Okay, I’ll go.”
Yura, wearing straight-lined suit pants and high heels, left the office. Her fair skin and sharply defined features drew people’s gaze wherever she went.
“Hello, Manager Jin.”
“Thanks for your hard work, Sol Yi.”
She nodded to Sol Yi of the production team, busy with equipment, her bobbed hair softly fluttering.
Yura was the mascot of Songlim Art Center, known to everyone in other departments. With her striking beauty, charismatic leadership, and exceptional work skills, she was the object of everyone’s admiration.
Yura’s always smiling face hardened only when facing the hard-to-please CEO or encountering that man, as now.
“Oh my, isn’t that guy the vice president of CH Group?”
“Yeah, it’s him. Wow, I’ve never seen him in person.”
“Amazing, he’s a masterpiece.”
Female employees murmured as they passed by the CH Group vice president, Baek Lee Hyun, crossing the art center’s hall.
If Yura was the mascot of Songlim, Baek Lee Hyun was the embodiment of CH Group. His touch turned every business venture into a victory, placing him at the top of the food chain.
His perfectly symmetrical face, praised by plastic surgeons as the epitome of the golden ratio, was every woman’s envy. The most commonly used phrase to describe him was ‘reverse charm.’
His pale skin and glamorous mask earned him the nickname of corporate idol, while his 190 cm height and broad shoulders shaped by exercise intensified his contrasting image.
Despite his perfection, to Yura, he was just her brother’s friend, blocking any potential romantic interest.
There was a time she briefly had a crush on him. But it didn’t last long.
In high school, she witnessed Baek Lee Hyun coldly reject a girl’s confession. Yura was disgusted seeing the girl run away, her face flushed red.
“Aren’t you too harsh?”
“What do you mean?”
“How much courage do you think she mustered to confess? You could’ve rejected her nicely.”
“I don’t like someone who doesn’t know me but likes me for my appearance.”
Yura was momentarily speechless.
“But still, that’s rude to say to her face. You think too highly of yourself!”
Having known him since childhood, Yura found him too cold and cynical to become closer. Moreover, he was a perfectionist who lived a meticulously planned life.
Yura thought Lee Hyun utterly lacked humanity, finding him abhorrently inhuman. While people generally grow by making mistakes and occasionally causing harm to others, Lee Hyun never tolerated such imperfections.
“Seriously, he’s not a robot…”
She wanted to expose the truth behind his facade, but Yura’s company, Songlim Art Center, was a subsidiary of CH Group. Lee Hyun and Jin Ho, the current CEO of Songlim, were cousins. Spreading such words would be like spitting in her own face.
Moreover, for Yura, Lee Hyun was an untouchable superior figure in the sky, someone she grudgingly had to respect. Thus, it was more beneficial for her to simply ignore him and maintain a polite distance.
Lee Hyun, upon entering the Songlim Art Center, spotted Yura walking from the elevator. It wasn’t because she stood out as a beauty, but wherever Jin Yura was, his gaze naturally followed her, almost like a long-established habit.
Perhaps he had antennas equipped to detect her presence through some frequency.
Barely perceptibly, Lee Hyun’s lips curled up in a pleased smile. In contrast, Yura, clearly not delighted by his presence, fixed her gaze on him, pulling out her phone to check Jin Ho’s location.
“It’s me. Are you in the office?”
[Dash]Even if you’re the VP of the headquarters, isn’t it common courtesy to make an appointment?“What’s the need for formalities between cousins?”
[Dash]This is a workplace. It’s an official setting.Lee Hyun’s impromptu visit was to catch Jin Ho, who had been avoiding him.
“I’m here for a personal visit. Heading up now.”
As Yura got closer, Lee Hyun ignored Jin Ho’s protests on the phone and ended the call.
A shocking memory flashed in Yura’s mind as she encountered Lee Hyun’s piercing gaze. She remembered overhearing a conversation between Jin Ho and Lee Hyun on the day she visited her cousin Eun Su, Jin Ho’s wife.
‘Did you hire Jin Yura?’
‘Of course. She’s who else’s sister.’
‘I see.’
‘I would have hired her regardless of your request. She’s capable.’
