I could not understand his sudden obsession at all. Perhaps, because he suggested they break up first, it had injured his pride.
“Even if you don’t answer, I’m coming in.”
A jingling sound echoed as the lock was engaged.
“Just open it. Do I have to find the key?”
Once he made up his mind, he was the type to push through like a bulldozer. The marriage process was very fast because he decided. It would be over soon if I just faced him for a few minutes, rather than not opening the door and causing a fuss.
The door finally opened with difficulty, but Kang Woo did not cross the threshold of the bedroom. This too had become an unspoken rule, despite not having agreed upon it.
However, Se Ah opened the narrow door, and he grabbed the doorknob and swung it wide open.
“You have to open the door wide, even if you can’t go in.”
“Mr. Kang Woo.”
Now, I was tired of repeating the same words to him.
“Take it.”
Suddenly, a cake box was in his outstretched hand.
“Did Secretary Choi ask you to do this?”
“Do I look like someone who would talk about my personal life to others?”
“I’m fine. I don’t like cake.”
“I can’t believe that. The person who ate three cakes at the party at the orphanage is you.”
Slowly, leisurely, I turned away from his face, which was lifting the corners of his mouth. He would not have come this far if a single cake could change his mind.
“Do you still think I’m your girlfriend?”
“In a relationship where we share a bed, I’d consider you a lover.”
It was the look in his eyes that he sometimes showed when he held me.
At least then, the look in his eyes was deep and passionate, enough to make me think that I was a woman to him.
“It seems like you suddenly have a lot of free time. A person who couldn’t spare time.”
Kang Woo bit his lip without excuse.
“So did you set a goal to win my heart back now? It’s not like you, Mr. Kang Woo.”
“Right.”
Without beating around the bush, Kang Woo took Se Ah’s hand. He ignored her trying to shake him off. He held the box in his balled fist, then released her hand.
In the apathetic gaze of Se Ah, Kang Woo met her eyes. A strange mixture of unfamiliar tenacity and absolute determination swirled in his deep pupils.
“I learn and do well at everything.”
“……”
“Ask me for it. Because I’ll learn.”
His Adam’s apple vibrated lowly. Although it was a fairly sweet comment, Se Ah grasped the doorknob immediately.
“I know you’re goaloriented, but this time you set the wrong goal.”
He chuckled with a relaxed face.
“Sleep well. See you tomorrow.”
Leaning against the closed door, a faint blush rose late on Se Ah’s cheek.
((()))((()))((()))
Kang Woo was currently coordinating a collaboration project with Gcoms, a major game company, on a PC game. Having dominated the mobile game market, he set a goal to go one step further.
That was to collaborate with Gcoms, the top game company in South Korea, to develop a new blockbuster game. To succeed in this collaboration, Kang Woo had been preparing for two years.
Kang Woo entered a Korean restaurant in Gangnam. He had a lunch appointment with Min Young, an executive of Gcoms.
As he opened the sliding door and entered, surprisingly, Min Young had arrived earlier.
“I arrived on time, but you seem to have come earlier.”
Min Young, with her short hair and intellectual impression, stood from her seat. She was dressed in a suit that seemed comfortable for activity.
“I had another meeting around here, nice to meet you, CEO Cha.”
Kang Woo responded briefly to her offered handshake.
“Please take a seat.”
They discussed the collaboration during the meal.
“How long do you expect the production period to be?”
“We’ll have to see once we get into it, but season 1 is expected to be unveiled within 2 years. I hear that CI Soft has an excellent planner and developer.”
“We have enough talent to invest in the collaboration in addition to developer Lee Chang Seok.”
Kang Woo displayed confident eyes yet managed to sound reasonably humble. He had been observing Min Young, who became his partner not long ago.
Before coming here, Kang Woo had received a briefing about Min Young from his secretary. Min Young, who was seen as the future representative of GComs, had been at the American branch for the past year.
The chairman had wrapped it up for external reasons, but people in the know, knew. The fact that Min Young’s wedding, which had caused a stir, had broken down with not much time left. Even rumors circulated that Min Young wasn’t in her right mind at the time.
After the meeting, Kang Woo put the documents in his briefcase.
“I’m glad to be working with Representative Cha. I’ve always wanted a partner who’s reliable in handling tasks.”
“I’m glad you think so.”
“Ah, Representative Cha and my father invited me to a luncheon party. It’s at your place, so you’ll be attending, right?”
He had not heard anything about his father planning a luncheon party, or inviting the mother and daughter of GComs. Yet, Kang Woo showed a formal smile.
“I might.”
Soon their cars were standing in front of the restaurant’s main entrance. Min Young’s lips curled up in a friendly way as she said see you again.
((()))((()))((()))
After the meeting, Kang Woo returned to the company and then went home. Once or twice a week, Se Ah would be sitting right on that sofa until after midnight.
At that time, he thought she simply couldn’t sleep. Looking back, she had been waiting for him. The image of her hurriedly turning off the TV remote as soon as she saw his face, blushing, came to mind.
But now, even if he came home early, Se Ah would not leave her room.
“Se Ah.”
Still, he quietly called her name today as always.
He stood outside her bedroom, a small voice was heard. It seemed like she was on a call with someone.
At the wedding, and once some other time, he thought it was a friend. A sister she was close to at the orphanage.
But the voice was too polite for a call with a friend. As if explaining some circumstances.
Kang Woo leaned his ear to the door.
“I liked the house we saw then, but can you possibly lease it or lower the monthly rent? I’m still a student.”
Suddenly, anger surged.
Why was she speaking so pitifully to others? Without even giving it a second thought, she was trying to leave him in any way possible.
With the hand not holding the flower basket, he turned the doorknob. She always locked the door, but she forgot today, so the door opened.
As the door opened, Se Ah looked surprised and hurriedly hung up, saying she would call again later.
His pale, cold skin turned even colder. Even to his chilly gaze, Se Ah looked uninterested and looked away.
He approached her without hesitation and stood right in front of her. Then, he placed the flower basket next to her seat.
“You’re finally leaving?”
To Kang Woo’s question, Se Ah was silent. She laid her laptop on the bed without even looking at his face.
In response, Kang Woo bent his knee and locked eyes with her. In a blink of an eye, he picked up the business card placed on her laptop.
“What’s this? Give it back.”
Se Ah narrowed her eyes as she saw the business card crumpled in his hand. His gaze, equally icy, confronted hers.
“You can’t leave until we reach an agreement.”
Se Ah, who had jumped up from her seat, glared at his face. No, rather than glaring, her gaze was so soft it was as if she was throwing a tantrum.
The slight resentment in her emotionless gaze was rather a relief. Hatred is better than indifference.
Kang Woo leisurely stood up and locked eyes with Se Ah.
“Running away will be a waste of time. I’ll find you even if I have to search everywhere.”
“…Kang Woo.”
In the obsessive black pupils that tied her up, Se Ah lost her words. She just blankly stared at him.
“So, the only way for you to break up with me is through an agreement.”
The chillingly low voice echoed in the room.
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.
