Dohan’s work efficiency was exceptional.
He was flawlessly executing the mission of closely protecting Lee Sarang.
During the morning meeting, he took notes for Sarang, who was inconvenienced by her hand, and even turned on her laptop when they returned to the office.
He was taking care of Sarang so meticulously that it seemed like he might follow her to the bathroom to help.
It was the same in the cafeteria.
Dohan sat her down and went to get pork cutlet, which he cut for her himself.
Sarang, who could barely use a fork, found his kindness overwhelming.
Especially with Na Young there.
After the meal, thanks to Manager Kim Insoo taking Dohan away, Sarang finally got a chance to breathe.
She and Na Young found time for a coffee in the lounge.
“Assistant Manager Ji is really looking after you, Sarang.”
Curious about Sarang and Dohan since yesterday, Na Young asked during his absence.
There hadn’t been a chance before, as he was always by Sarang’s side.
Sarang had been waiting for this moment to clarify and feel at ease.
“I’m sorry, Assistant Manager.”
“Huh? For what?”
“For saying I didn’t know Assistant Manager Ji.”
Sarang couldn’t lift her head.
She felt guilty for lying, even to Na Young, who she was closest to.
“There must have been a reason. It’s okay.”
Na Young laughed heartily, looking around before lowering her voice.
“But did you two date?”
That was her burning question.
Whether the two of them had been lovers in the past.
It was the only explanation for yesterday’s events.
If they were just senior-junior, Dohan wouldn’t have reacted so instantly when Sarang was hurt.
It must have been affection.
“Maybe.”
Sarang gave a faint smile.
What could she call her relationship with him?
Even she was curious if they had been dating.
“I don’t know. Maybe it was just me.”
“What kind of answer is that?”
“I liked him and chased after him, only to be harshly rejected.”
“Ah, I don’t think that’s true.”
Having witnessed Dohan’s fiery gaze yesterday, Na Young couldn’t believe Sarang’s words.
There seemed to be a hint of murderous intent in his eyes when looking at the employee who hurt Sarang.
“Taking care of you with no interest?”
“Maybe he feels sorry for running into me again at the company. I was pretty hurt back then.”
Na Young nodded, thinking that could be possible.
“But it’s surprising.”
“What is?”
“I thought you liked kind and caring types. But Assistant Manager Ji is the complete opposite. Frankly, you two don’t seem to match.”
So that’s why we broke up.
Did I not deserve to be his girlfriend?
Remembering Dohan saying he disliked freshman as they were burdensome, Sarang wore a bitter smile.
“What can I do? We ended up in the same team. It must be uncomfortable for you.”
“It can’t be helped. I can’t change teams, nor can I quit the company.”
“Right. That’s not possible. Maybe meeting again is a chance to properly settle the past. If you spend time together, things will naturally sort themselves out. That is, if you’re willing.”
Na Young stood up, suggesting they head back to the office.
Sarang followed her, Na Young’s last words echoing in her mind.

What exactly am I feeling right now?
Do I want to extinguish the embers named Ji Dohan still lingering in my heart, or do I want to revive them and let them blaze again?
“Everyone, lift your glasses!”
At Dongsik’s call, all team members simultaneously raised their soju glasses.
The dinner right after work was an extension of the day’s tasks.
Especially today, as it was a welcoming party for Dohan, every single member attended.
“Welcome, Assistant Manager Ji Dohan. Let’s get along well.”
Following Dongsik’s greeting, others also chimed in with their welcomes and emptied their glasses simultaneously.
Somehow, Sarang and Dohan ended up sitting opposite each other at the end of the table.
Unable to drink because of her injured hand, Sarang had to soberly watch Dohan drink right in front of her.
One glass, two glasses, three glasses.
As soon as a glass was emptied, it was refilled by someone beside him, and Dohan kept drinking without a break.
Four glasses, five glasses, six glasses.
As the guest of honor, it was natural for him to be the focus of the drinking.
Seven glasses, eight glasses, nine glasses.
Watching him effortlessly finish one and a half bottles alone, Sarang furrowed her brow.
They didn’t force people to drink this much when she first joined.
Maybe because he was a man, the team members were relentless in refilling his glass.
Dohan’s attitude, drinking without hesitation as soon as he received the glass, contributed to it.
Just how much can he actually drink?
Sarang, watching him intently, ate cucumbers with her good left hand, shaking her head.

It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
