Taehoon and Jaeseong, who knew Dohan and spent time with him, were surprised to see him being so talkative. It was the first time they had witnessed this side of him.
“If you want to know what kind of guy he is, let’s go see his face. They look good together. Anyone would think they’re dating.”
Dohan swallowed the urge to curse, then drank again to suppress it.
If it weren’t for the fact that Dohan was talking about his concerns regarding a woman, who would believe this?
“Fine, whatever. I can understand that. But another guy is showing interest. Being friendly with everyone, who wouldn’t find that attractive? Today, I’m going to the mountains with a manager from another department. We drank together before, and she even called me oppa.”
Dohan brought the soju bottle, ready to drink the entire thing, and reached for the soju on the adjacent table. However, Taehoon intercepted.
“Hey, why are you causing a scene at someone else’s wedding?”
“Yeah, hyung. Stop drinking. You seem drunk.”
Even if he wasn’t drunk, his actions were just like that.
“If you were drunk, you wouldn’t be here.”
“What?”
“You’ve probably already gone to see Love.”
At the shocking words, Taehoon and Jaeseong were taken aback.
Like a cockroach falling in love.
“You probably went to the mountains and came late because of that, right? Changed your clothes at home?”
“I came straight here.”
“What? Straight here? Dressed like this after going to the mountains?”
“I just changed my shoes.”
Where does the surprise end?
Jaeseong was speechless, and only Taehoon continued the conversation, somewhat.
“This guy is truly insane. I realized it when he said he broke up with Love and started wearing a couple ring alone. Are you out of your mind? How long has it been since you met, and you’re already talking about marriage? You even chase her to the mountains to keep an eye on her. Totally crazy about Love, just crazy. If she’s so great, why did you disappear back then? You even lied about going abroad to break up… Crazy guy, insane. I don’t understand why Love likes such a person.”
Taehoon suddenly poured out his thoughts, feeling sorry for the naive junior.
Dohan, who had been quietly listening to the words, muttered quietly, “So now I’m paying for my sins.”
“What?”
“She didn’t say she loved me.”
For a moment, Taehoon and Jaeseong held their breath.
Not saying “I love you” was Dohan’s thing, but now the situation had reversed.
Now, he couldn’t hear those words from the person he loved, a reality that was hard to believe.
“Just once, she didn’t say it. Makes people uneasy.”
In the silent voice, Taehoon eventually opened the soju bottle.
And he filled the paper cup that Dohan weakly held with alcohol.
It was a consolation and congratulations.
A glass of alcohol meant to comfort the heart wounded by a girlfriend and congratulate Dohan for finally getting out of a toxic relationship.
When Love, who had been to the mountains, returned home, she collapsed.
She lay on the sofa, closed her eyes, and an hour passed as if in a blink.
Without even washing up, she, who had fallen asleep, dragged her heavy body to the bathroom.
While showering and drying her hair, she received a call.
Seeing that it was from Dohan, she felt a sense of relief.
Even though they had been together all morning, she missed him.
“Did you enter the house?”
Not yet.
The wedding must have ended long ago, and he must be with friends.
Considering that, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
“You must be tired. I took a nap, and even though I just woke up, it’s exhausting.”
Are you alone?
“Yes. Jiwu will come later. We went to see the sea with Yunjae.”
I’ll come up then.
“What?”
I’m in front of your house.
Surprised, Love looked around in a hurry.
Fortunately, she had cleaned up yesterday, so having guests over was not a problem.
Thinking about it, the surroundings were strangely silent.
“No, it’s okay. Come up.”
Love quickly hung up the phone and rushed to her room.
Traces of her busy morning in the mountains were scattered everywhere.
The most serious problem was the bed, where the clothes and blankets she wore last night were tangled.
After quickly tidying up, Love wondered what she was doing right now.
Did she even consider bringing Dohan to her bed?
“Well, I mean, I can show him around, right?”
She answered herself, blushing, even though no one asked.
At that moment, the intercom rang, and Love’s shoulders twitched.
It seemed like he had already come up.
Shaking her nervous heart, Love went to the living room and opened the front door.
“Come in.”
Bringing a boyfriend home for the first time brought about a sense of tension.
Suddenly, it got hot, and even though I had just showered, cold sweat broke out.
“Is this the way from the wedding venue?”
“Yeah.”
“You must be tired; why not rest at home?”
“I have something to give.”
Dohan, who had been hiding his hand behind him, extended it.
A few yellow roses were wrapped in transparent packaging.
