In the midst of deep concentration, a message popped up. It was from Kang Woo.
[Let’s have dinner together. I’m asking you out on a date.]Kang Woo arrived early at the restaurant he had chosen for his date with Se Ah.
The launching party was just three days away, adding to his anxiety. He had only today to persuade her; otherwise, he might need to resort to desperate measures.
This one-table restaurant, which only served one group per day, was renowned for its excellent service, matching its high dining cost.
Usually, Secretary Choi chose the dining places for him, based on the significance of the person he was meeting. Personally, he preferred hotel dining like a sky lounge or any expensive place.
He was still trying to figure out Se Ah’s preferences, finding enjoyment in slowly uncovering them.
Hearing the door, Kang Woo looked up. Se Ah, stepping into the homely Western-style restaurant, looked like a startled rabbit. Seeing just Kang Woo at the lone table, her eyes widened even more.
“Welcome.”
“Hello?”
“Thank you for coming to Droëschuur.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Se Ah could have simply sat down, but she stood listening attentively to the chef’s lengthy greeting. Kang Woo’s lips curved into a wide smile, finding her adorable.
“Come sit here. Next to me.”
“Okay.”
Even her footsteps as she walked towards the table were endearing.
But why was she wearing her coat so openly, especially when she easily gets cold? Many thoughts crossed Kang Woo’s mind as Se Ah approached.
When Se Ah reached the table, Kang Woo moved to her chair first, pulling it out for her.
“Thank you.”
Her simple words of gratitude melted his heart. Kang Woo’s stern face softened as he took his seat.
Soon, a lavish meal with a top Bordeaux red wine was served.
Throughout the meal, Kang Woo asked various questions. How was work? Any difficulties? All very ordinary questions.
Gradually, Se Ah started to share her experiences, typical of a newcomer to the workforce. Yet, Kang Woo found himself wanting to hear more, ironically.
Se Ah busily pushed various side dishes towards Kang Woo as they ate.
“Eat.”
“Are you worried about something, Kang Woo? You’re not eating much.”
“Not at all.”
“If you’re not in the mood for food, would you like some soup? You have to eat. Lately, your face looks rough and you’ve lost weight. Is there something troubling you in business? Or… never mind.”
As she spoke, nervously biting her lips, she looked too pretty. Kang Woo’s expression completely relaxed. Leaning forward with his elbows on the table, he turned towards her.
“Don’t you have any troubles? Anything you can’t talk about?”
“I told you everything earlier.”
“Why have you become so kind to me again? Even more than before.”
Kang Woo decided to be straightforward. He expected her to be serious, but surprisingly, Se Ah twisted her body awkwardly.
“Well, it’s natural to care if someone in front of you isn’t eating well. Don’t you think so?”
“Not at all. I’d just think they don’t like the food.”
“Right. Anyway, try to eat a little more. You’re not sick, are you? Even if you’re busy… I wish you’d take care of yourself.”
Her large eyes were filled with genuine concern. Looking back, she often had that look in her eyes, but he had overlooked it. Now realizing the affection he had regained, his heart swelled with emotion.
“Why are you staring? Eat…”
Reluctantly, Kang Woo reached for the plate Se Ah had pushed towards him.
Watching him slice a piece of steak, she observed him intently, as if he was performing some special act.
“You were about to say something earlier.”
“Ah. I was just wondering if you’re this kind to everyone.”
“Am I kind?”
Se Ah tilted her head in confusion.
“I hope you’re not. Especially not to other guys.”
Se Ah spoke gently, and fortunately, she didn’t seem displeased as a smile formed on her lips.
“On the 24th.”
Finally, the main topic was addressed.
“Why do you want to go to Hanbit Orphanage?”
“The vice principal asked me to come.”
“You can go on another day.”
“I grew up there, and I know those days… they feel lonelier. Each child’s situation is different. Some get invited to relatives’ or acquaintances’ homes, so those left behind feel even more empty.”
“…”
“Charities and other groups often visit during the year-end. But on special days, it’s hard for them to come. They have their families or partners to spend time with.”
Kang Woo was at a loss for words by her poignant explanation.
“If someone familiar visits, the children are overjoyed. It’s the same with normal kids. They’re happy when an aunt or uncle visits on a special day. Gifts are a part of it, but not everything.”
“So, you must go?”
Se Ah nodded to Kang Woo’s confirming question.
“I’m sorry. But the launch party can go on without me. If I promised to go and didn’t show up, the kids would be deeply disappointed.”
“So, I’ve been sidelined.”
“……I’ll definitely go with you next time. Just let me know in advance.”
Se Ah blinked and then smiled sweetly. Kang Woo was completely charmed.
“You’re in big trouble now. Once I latch on, I never let go.”
“…….”
“How do you plan to handle it, seducing me like this?”
“I never seduced you.”
“Anyway, you’re determined to go there, so I can’t help it.”
“……Yes.”
“I’ll just have to follow you.”
Se Ah was startled as she gulped down her water.
“I’d follow you to hell if I have to.”
“……Are you serious?”
Kang Woo laughed it off but had a persistent look in his eyes. He had to leave the table to take a call from Secretary Choi.
“Take your time coming out. It’s cold, so wrap up well.”
“Okay.”
Kang Woo stepped outside the restaurant to take the call.
“Yes.”
[Director, I’m calling about Black. It’s not your usual day to visit your mother at the hospital, but you went and left quickly. It’s unusual, so we might need to look into it…]Kang Woo, on the phone, saw Se Ah through the glass window, collecting her handbag and putting on her coat, buttoning up as he had instructed.
“Secretary Choi.”
[Yes?]“Cancel the investigation into Director Yi.”
[Suddenly? Why?]“There’s no longer a need.”
Se Ah, exiting the entrance, saw him. Her bright smile could melt even a frozen heart.
Despite being suspicious and distrustful by nature, Kang Woo wanted to trust Se Ah unconditionally. She had always been there for him, even before he realized it himself.
He was truly smitten with love.
