“Changing your words already?”
He scolded her without even looking.
“Then I’ll go and come back in a flash.”
“5 minutes.”
“Yes.”
Sori grumbled as she headed towards the department, suspecting that Hyun Woo was either planning to work her hard as a punishment for yesterday’s troubles or perhaps even to the point of exhaustion.
The department was now in stark contrast to earlier, meticulously organized. The floor and tables shone with cleanliness.
“Why is everything cleaned up so well?” Sori wondered as she entered the locker room to get her gown. Just as she was about to leave, she received a call from Jiwoo.
“Hey, Jiwoo.”
[Dash] I didn’t think you’d answer. Did you go on a date with your brother yesterday? How was the dinner?“Oh? Yeah, it was delicious. Thanks to you.”
Sori vaguely responded, not knowing how to begin explaining last night’s complicated events.
[Dash] I would have joined you if I didn’t have a schedule. Would that have been too nosy as a sister-in-law?“No, not at all. I’ll treat you next time.”
[Dash] But why does your voice sound so strange?“My voice? Why?”
She pretended everything was normal.
[Dash] You can’t fool me. What’s up with you?“It’s nothing…”
Sori twirled her hair around her finger nervously, then suddenly remembered something she wanted to ask Jiwoo.
“Jiwoo, you usually get drunk before me, right?”
“So, you’ve never seen me drunk?”
[Dash] This suddenly about alcohol tolerance? You don’t drink much because you’re always looking after me, not because you can’t handle it.“Did I do that?”
Yes, she did, but last night she drank more because she felt safe with Hyun Woo around.
Have I started to feel more comfortable around him?
[Dash] Yeah. You hardly ever let yourself go in front of me.“So, you’ve never seen me drunk?”
[Dash] I have. Should I even mention it?“Why? What is it?”
Sori’s throat suddenly felt parched with tension.
[Dash] You shouldn’t drink with just anyone.“What do you mean?”
Her heart raced.
[Dash] When you’re drunk, you suddenly become incredibly affectionate.“Me? No way. You’re lying.”
[Dash] Ask mom if you don’t believe me. She used to say how you’d kiss and cling to her all night, saying you were like a baby.“Me? That’s impossible.”
[Dash] That’s why it’s like you have a drunk habit. Mom even said it was funny when you were completely drunk.“Our mom said that to you?”
[Dash] And I’ve seen it too. Remember that time in Sokcho, Gangwon-do?“Sokcho?”
She remembered.
Of course, Sori only recalled why they went to Sokcho, not the events of that night.
That summer, during her first college break, she went to Sokcho with Jiwoo. They feasted at a seafood restaurant and then decided to drink on the beach.
That day was when Sori fell into Jiwoo’s trap, a day that, in fact, she had no memory of in her life. She had clung to Jiwoo, laughing and playing all night. After getting drunk, her memory was a blank.
“What[Dash]What?!”
Sori was stunned by the most shocking story she had heard from Jiwoo.
[Dash] Did you get completely drunk with your brother yesterday? Finally! Is that why your voice is so awkward? Right?
“No, it’s not that!”
Jiwoo teased her, asking if Hyun Woo still cared for her. Sori’s face turned red.
[Dash] Then, only drink with our brother, Sori, okay? Promise me that.“But Jiwoo, you must never mention this to Professor, okay? Please promise me.”
[Dash] Of course. Hyun Woo should feel Sori’s unexpected charm someday.Sori realized why Hyun Woo had declared a ban on her drinking in the morning.
“I’ll stop. Oh, and someday you should come to our hospital for a fan meeting. I’ll be your 1:1 attendant.”
[Dash] I’m expensive, but okay, call me again.After hanging up, Sori thought to herself.
Could it be? Did I really do something ridiculous like I used to when I was twenty in front of the fearsome Hyun Woo?
Yes, she did.
Despairing, she slammed her forehead onto the table.
“Our love should be intense.”
“……!?”
The clear voice in her messy head was undoubtedly Hyun Woo’s.
This was it.
Memories began to connect in her mind.
The voice she thought was a dream wasn’t a dream.
In bed.
The words he said while looking down at her.
Remember them!
What did he mean by making things intense?
Why was he smiling so charmingly at her?
A kiss? Or maybe…
The thought of something more scandalous made her clench her fists and stand up from the chair.
She rushed to his office, determined to find out what had happened.
As she arrived on the floor where his office was located, his voice struck her mind again.
“Let’s start an intense relationship. Starting now.”
Repeating his words aloud, she covered her mouth with both hands.
It was a confession.
Received while she was completely drunk.
Sori burst into his office without even knocking, too shocked to remember the courtesy.
Her blouse fluttered inside her coat due to her rapid breathing, her heart beginning to race, making it hard to breathe.
She slowly took in his figure, wearing glasses and sitting in front of the computer, and walked towards his desk.
“You’re way past five minutes.”
“…….”
He still kept his eyes on the monitor, speaking casually as usual.
Depending on the situation, it could have been a dry voice that would have made her quite tense.
“You missed some materials. Where’s your mind at?”
Sori silently observed him. Feeling her gaze as unusual, he took off his glasses.
He then turned to look at Sori, his eyes expressing a ‘why are you spaced out again?’ sentiment.
“I remember everything now.”
“…….”
“It wasn’t a dream.”
“…….”
She was telling him that the confession he had made was not just a figment of her imagination.
“But I feel a bit wronged.”
It would have been nicer to hear it when I was sober. Unnecessary resentment was creeping in.
“Because it had to be when I was drunk…”
It’s such a pity, such a great pity.
Unable to say these words, she fumbled as he unexpectedly approached her.
Ah!
He suddenly embraced Sori’s waist, lifting her up effortlessly onto the desk.
“So, are you complaining? That’s petty, isn’t it?”
Sori shook her head.
Out of happiness, sheer happiness.
She just wanted to confirm if it was real.
He looked straight into Sori’s eyes and spoke in a plain tone.
“I do everything well, don’t I?”
He was referring to the answer Sori had given to Jitae’s question at the previous night’s drinking session.
“Let’s see if I really do it well.”
She nodded, barely able to conceal her smile.
“You say you always win against me in arguments.”
“…….”
Audaciously, she had claimed to have a winning streak against Seo Hyun Woo.
“Let’s see if you can really win, shall we?”
As she was nodding, trying hard to hold back her laughter, her lips curved upward, revealing her white teeth.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
