Yu Na’s pride soared to the sky as she received her friends’ envy. That was how it had been until just moments ago.
However, after seeing Hee Won being so sharp towards her, Seong Yu Na could easily guess how her so-called friends would react without much thought.
“If you have nothing more to say, I’ll go first. Enjoy your shopping.”
What on earth happened!
Seong Yu Na gritted her teeth. Hee Won’s attitude was so cold, as if implying that what Yu Na had said was a lie.
As Yu Na was bewildered by Hee Won’s drastically changed demeanor, her friends gathered around her as if they had been waiting.
“What’s this, were you not on good terms with your elder sister?”
“Did you lie to us?”
Yu Na snapped at her friends’ words.
“Wh-who said we’re not on good terms. We-we just had a little fight yesterday, that’s all.”
Yu Na forced a smile as she looked at Hee Won.
“Elder sister, are you still mad because I threw a tantrum yesterday? I said I was sorry.”
Yu Na gritted her teeth as she looked at Hee Won.
How dare you give me this humiliation?
Her eyes were hurling all sorts of curses at Hee Won.
If it were the old Hee Won, she would have understood and let it slide even if Yu Na disrespected her, considering the eyes of Chairman Seong and Choo Hyun Jung.
She no longer needed to be mindful of that family, nor did she need to forcibly understand someone who disrespected her.
“I don’t think we’re close enough to fight. I’ll go first then.”
Hee Won spoke in the coldest and most resolute voice she could muster.
“El-elder sister.”
As Yu Na’s face contorted like a crushed can, Hee Won felt a strange sensation.
Hee Won turned around, thinking that she should no longer be swayed and should say no when she wants to. She could feel Yu Na’s gaze piercing her back, but she didn’t turn around.
Yu Na glared at Hee Won so intensely that her eyes were bloodshot.
“What’s this, Seong Yu Na? You said you were close, but hey, you’re worse than strangers?”
The mocking voices of her friends pierced Yu Na’s ears precisely.
‘I’m going to tell mom. How dare you humiliate me? Seong Hee Won, you little…’
Seong Yu Na gritted her teeth, thinking she would return today’s humiliation twofold, no, even more.
* * *
“Did something happen?”
Secretary Ha asked when Hee Won remained silent after get
ting in the car.
“No. Nothing happened.”
Hee Won thought as she looked out the window of the moving car.
It was the first time she had openly rejected Yu Na’s behavior. But it wasn’t as difficult as she had thought, and it wasn’t as hard as she had expected.
All of this was possible because of Kang Woo.
If he hadn’t been there, it was obvious that she would still be foolishly enduring it all.
The world had completely changed since meeting him.
“I miss him…”
Somehow, she wanted to see Kang Woo quickly.
* * *
After stopping by home to change clothes, Hee Won headed to Daeyoung Hotel, the meeting place Kang Woo had mentioned.
As she got out of the car upon arriving at the hotel, she saw Kang Woo waiting.
“Hee Won.”
Kang Woo, who noticed Hee Won first, quickly approached her.
“Kang Woo?”
Hee Won opened her eyes wide in surprise at the fact that Kang Woo had been waiting.
“Were you waiting for me?”
“Yes.”
“If you had told me you were waiting, I would have come faster.”
She felt even more pleased as she had been thinking about wanting to see Kang Woo quickly.
“I just arrived a little while ago.”
He naturally took her hand.
“I’ll carry that too.”
And he took the paper bag she was holding in her left hand. It was the shopping bag containing the fountain pens that Secretary Ha had offered to carry, but Hee Won said she could carry it herself.
“It’s light, I can carry it.”
Kang Woo shook his head at Hee Won’s answer.
“Even if it’s not heavy, I’ll carry it. Give it to me.”
At Kang Woo’s repeated words, Hee Won handed him the few small shopping bags she was holding and said,
“Then let’s share the load.”
As Hee Won looked at Kang Woo and spoke, he smiled at her.
“Let’s do that, then.”
* * *
Kang Woo and Hee Won entered.
“Cha Kang Woo finally came!”
Hee Won quickly scanned Kang Woo’s friends. As she had thought at the wedding, they were clearly not ordinary men at first glance. Their good clothes and unapproachable aura seemed to prove that his friends were not ordinary people.
As Hee Won hesitated, Kang Woo gripped her hand tighter and whispered in her ear.
“It’s okay, just trust me. If those guys act mischievously, I won’t let them off easily.”
Hee Won chuckled at Kang Woo’s words, and he laughed along.
And then.
“Wow, what did I just see?”
Kang Woo’s friends who were watching the two were taken aback. But the only one who wasn’t surprised was Ji Min, who had invited Hee Won before.
Except for Ji Min, each of Kang Woo’s friends blurted out something.
“Was Cha Kang Woo capable of smiling like that?”
“I thought so then too… I didn’t know he was that kind of guy.”
They had known Kang Woo for over 15 years.
So they were confident that they knew him better than anyone else.
In fact, they had been together longer than even his family members, so it was natural confidence.
And as if to prove it, the words representing Cha Kang Woo were cold-blooded, robot, businessman to the bone, AI machine, devil, and such.
So his friends thought. That no one would even date Kang Woo, let alone marry him.
But Kang Woo’s attitude towards Hee Won was beyond imagination.
Since they had never heard of him dating, they thought it was a political marriage. But what they saw at the wedding venue was completely different from what they expected.
“Wow, was he like this last time too?”
Min Chan tapped Ji Min’s shoulder and asked.
“He was. But he’s become even more affectionate than then.”
Ji Min said, narrowing his eyes.
In fact, he was quite surprised too. When he had invited Hee Won and Kang Woo to his restaurant then, he thought something was off, but they had grown closer even faster than he expected.
“It’s really surprising.”
At Min Chan’s words, Ji Min walked towards Hee Won and said,
“Anyway, how long are we going to keep Hee Won standing?”
Min Chan and the other friends hurriedly followed Ji Min towards Kang Woo and Hee Won. Even up close, they couldn’t get used to the sight and kept their mouths shut.
“It’s been a while, Hee Won.”
Ji Min greeted Hee Won.
Having met him once before, Hee Won felt glad to see Ji Min.
“Hello, Ji Min. Thank you for inviting me.”
“No, your legs must be tired, please sit over there.”
“Thank you.”
After Ji Min guided them to their seats, Kang Woo pulled out the chair for Hee Won and then sat next to her.
He spoke to his friends who still couldn’t take their eyes off Hee Won.
“You’ll wear out her face.”
“Huh?”
Unable to hide their bewilderment, his friends stared blankly at Hee Won.
“Sit down.”
At Kang Woo’s words, his friends sat down one by one.
And when everyone was seated, Kang Woo said,
“My wife, Seong Hee Won.”
As Kang Woo finished speaking, Hee Won stood up, bowed, and greeted,
“Hello.”
The gazes pouring on her became even more intense. Hee Won’s face flushed under the piercing gazes of Kang Woo’s friends who seemed to be observing her.
‘I put on makeup and paid attention to look pretty, but still… it’s embarrassing.’
It was then. Kang Woo covered Hee Won’s face with his hand.
“I said you’ll wear it out, didn’t I?”
Kang Woo’s action was beyond imagination.
“Wow… Is this reality right now?”
“Is that really Cha Kang Woo? Isn’t he an alien wearing Cha Kang Woo’s skin?”
“I didn’t know he was such a considerate guy.”
Kang Woo’s friends added words to each other as they looked at him.
In fact, even when he said he was getting married, they had just expected it to be a loveless political marriage.
They too were either chaebol heirs or children of parents who had accumulated enormous wealth.
From the moment they could enjoy everything without any effort, marriage was not a category that could be made by individual choice.
They thought it would be the same for Kang Woo.
But the moment they saw Kang Woo’s gaze towards Hee Won, they realized.
That the two were not simply in a political marriage.
The corners of his friends’ mouths lifted in a long, pleased smile as they looked at Kang Woo and Hee Won.
“Welcome, Hee Won.”
As Ji Min greeted her again, Min Chan, sitting next to him, also greeted her.
“Yes. It’s good to see you. You’ve become even prettier, Hee Won.”
Ji Min spoke to Hee Won sitting next to him.
“Ah… thank you.”
Although it might just be flattery, Hee Won touched her cheek, embarrassed by the compliment.
“Hee Won was always pretty.”
At Kang Woo’s casual remark, her cheeks turned as red as a ripe apple.
“…Kang Woo.”
When Hee Won lightly tapped Kang Woo’s shoulder, he looked at her as if even that gesture was lovely.
“Looks like Kang Woo is treating you well.”
At Ji Min’s words, Hee Won glanced at Kang Woo, and his eyes that met hers curved round.
“You can be honest.”
Kang Woo rested his cheek on one hand, and with the other, he tucked Hee Won’s fallen hair behind her ear.
“Am I treating you well?”
“……”
Hee Won’s face turned even redder with embarrassment. Kang Woo even smiled as if he found that sight cute.
