“Come on, eat. You must be hungry.”

Dohan urged Sarang, who had her head bowed across from him.

Ever since realizing the mistake at the company dinner, she had been in this state.

The shock seemed quite substantial.

Judging by the occasional deep sighs, it looked as if her world had collapsed.

Dohan felt sorry for her in that state, but what had happened was irreversible.

Adding to her already pitiful feelings, he wanted to at least feed her, but Sarang seemed to have no intention of picking up her utensils.

“Shall I feed you?”

As he was about to get up, Sarang finally picked up her rice.

“I told you to stop me.”

Sarang exhaled deeply, as if the ground was caving in.

Dohan worried that he might have gotten drunk and revealed our relationship to brighten things up between us, but it turned out he himself had caused the accident.

How surprised must their teammates have been?

Would they feel resentful that we didn’t tell them until now?

How could we deceive them in the same office?

Would they understand the circumstances we couldn’t explain in advance?

Thinking about how to face work tomorrow, Sarang’s face was filled with worry.

“I had no way to stop it. I was suddenly put in that situation too.”

“How did people react?”

“A bit surprised?”

“It’s not just a bit; it must be a lot.”

“I’m not sure. Just stay there and carry me out.”

Sarang, who was forcing herself to eat, raised her head abruptly.

“Carry me out from there?”

“Yeah. With the help of Manager Se.”

Oh my. It clearly showed that we are dating.

Unable to say anything about the first mistake, Sarang tightly sealed her lips.

“If it’s uncomfortable, I’ll move to another team.”

Unexpectedly, her eyes widened at his words.

It was true that dating in the same office was uncomfortable, but she didn’t expect him to consider transferring to another department.

“It’s difficult now because I recently joined. I’ll look into transferring as soon as possible.”

“Where are you going to go? Do you have a department you want?”

“Anywhere is fine.”

Sarang sighed with a different meaning than before.

She didn’t feel good about driving him away.

“Since you’re capable, you’ll be welcome anywhere, but it’s not an easy task. Moreover, don’t stand out unnecessarily. In social life, it’s best to keep a low profile and endure.”

There was nothing good about standing out in the company.

Just diligently doing the assigned tasks.

If you are too outstanding, you become the target of envy.

Especially for Dohan, with his splendid career and handsome looks, even a slightly unusual action would attract attention.

If he suddenly transferred, there would be rumors everywhere.

“Shall we stop then?”

“What?”

“At the company.”

When Dohan mentioned resigning, Sarang couldn’t close her mouth.

What is so difficult for this man?

It was absurd to say it as if leaving a private institute.

“Manager Ji.”

Her voice changed.

It seemed like she was angry or irritated.
Dohan waited silently for the next words.

“Are you going to break up with me?”

“What?”

This time, he frowned, as if hearing about a breakup was dreadful.

“If not, you don’t have to change teams or quit the company, right?”

“Because you can’t even eat properly. You keep sighing.”

“That’s because I’m worried about tomorrow. Who’s worrying about the future?”

Sarang pouted and grumbled.

She hadn’t ignored the thought of life after the breakup either, but it hurt that he seemed to be preparing to change teams for that time.

He said we wouldn’t break up.

He said let’s get married.

It all felt like empty words.

“You don’t have to worry about tomorrow. The stones are arranged correctly.”

“Why did you lie together?”

“Because I’m trash.”

As he smiled as if admitting it himself, Sarang felt a bitter taste.

“Don’t curse my boyfriend. I don’t think that way.”

“Well, that’s fortunate.”

“Really. I’ve never thought that way once.”

With a sincere voice, Dohan smiled a bit brighter.

But even that hurt Sarang’s heart.

Within a day, she had turned him into the worst guy in the world, and she couldn’t even raise her head.

“Let’s eat. You probably don’t have the energy, but you should eat well.”

“Why don’t I have energy…”

As she scooped up rice and was about to put it in her mouth, she suddenly stopped talking.

Because of the mistake she made yesterday, she had forgotten an even bigger event.

Now she realized that she no longer had the energy from receiving love for a long time.

There are things to forget.

Even though she couldn’t look him in the eye this morning, now they were sitting face to face and eating, which was surprisingly shocking.

When she met Dohan’s gaze, memories of last night kept coming back, making her embarrassed.

Even though he was now dressed, the image of him on the bed haunted her, making her uncomfortable.

What about the image of herself hanging on him?

Discovering a new me wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

It was also accompanied by embarrassment and shame.

This is how I am now.

“How’s your body?”

“What?”

“You were in pain.”
