Sa Rang tried to conceal her surprise by pretending to be indifferent and shifted her gaze back to her phone.
“I’ve told you before. It’s awkward to share an umbrella if you have a girlfriend. You may not mind if your girlfriend shares an umbrella with another man, or eats or drinks with him alone, but I do.”
“I’ll ask soon then.”
“Pardon?”
As Sa Rang raised her head, this time Do Han moved his eyes to his laptop.
“You said you’re buying the next meal.”
She quietly put her phone on the table.
She stared at Do Han silently for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“Are you upset with me by any chance?”
“No, not at all.”
“Then did I do something wrong……”
“Why would you think that?”
“Because you seem upset.”
Leaning against the back of the chair, Do Han made eye contact with Sa Rang.
Even though she knew she was being unnecessarily moody, she couldn’t shake off her complicated feelings.
She didn’t know who she was angry at, and why she was in such a bad mood.
She couldn’t understand why she felt a twinge of jealousy just because she saw her female junior being friendly with another man.
She had never felt this way about anyone before.
There was no woman like Sa Rang who confused him.
So, he was at a loss for what to say, his mind was just complicated.
In the end, he blurted out a lame excuse.
“I’m always like this.”
Damn it.
Did he have to act so pathetically?
He didn’t want to impress her, but he thought he screwed up.
At the same time, he was curious about Sa Rang’s reaction.
He was very curious about how she would respond when he spoke with a cold expression, as he did with others.
Wouldn’t she turn her back on him with a face that showed she didn’t want to deal with him, just like the others?
She must have been kind to him only because she had to take the same class with a difficult senior for a whole semester.
Judging by how she seemed more comfortable and happy when she was with Jung Yun Jae, he thought she might think of him in the same way.
Do Han anticipated that she would awkwardly suggest they just focus on their report, with a smile.
However, Sa Rang gulped down her hot coffee and slammed the cup down.
The dull thud of the mug hitting the table made his eyes widen.
“What’s wrong?”
“What do you mean?”
“You seem upset.”
“Me? Not at all.”
“Seems like it.”
“Why would you think so?”
“Your expression isn’t good.”
“I’m always like this too.”
Sa Rang, who gave him a taste of his own medicine, quickly picked up her phone from the table and covered her face.
Her face felt like it was about to explode, as if the already boiling rage inside her was exacerbated by the hot coffee.
She grumbled to herself, “If you’re upset, just go home, why bring a perfectly fine person here and annoy them?”
Then she heard a soft laugh in front of her.
When she slightly lowered her phone, absurdly enough, Do Han was laughing.
She briefly thought, “What a strange person,” but decided to ignore him.
She sent him all the sorted photos at once.
She just wanted to go home quickly.
“I sent the photos for the report. I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit.”
Sa Rang stood up from her seat to cool off the heat from her face.
But as she got up from the table and passed Do Han, a chill ran down her spine.
She thought one of the photos she had just sent, which included a secretly taken photo of his back, might have been included.
No, it was definitely there.
She quickly turned around.
Do Han already had his phone in his hand.
“Just a moment!”
Sa Rang ran towards him, reaching out.
Her only goal was his phone.
Even if he had read the message, there was a chance he hadn’t seen the photo in question yet.
The only option she had was to snatch the phone before he saw the photo and delete it.
On the other hand, Do Han, who had been looking at his phone, sensed something coming fast from the side and turned his head.
Sa Rang was lunging towards him at a terrifying speed.
He put his phone down on the table and reflexively caught her.
He thought she might get hurt if he didn’t.
Fortunately, he laid his body down on a long chair that resembled a sofa, and securely held Sa Rang by the waist.
Their bodies naturally intertwined.
It seemed as if time had momentarily halted, nobody moved.
With the surrounding noise all at once disappearing, only the warmth shared from their connected chests was felt.
Do Han was the first to regain his senses.
“Are you okay?”
Sa Rang blinked her eyes in a daze.
His face was right in front of her eyes.
His thick eyebrows, the eyes charming in their coldness, and the sleek nose, the lips she had only stolen in her dreams.
She was so close she could feel his breathing.
It felt as if their lips would touch if she relaxed her head.
“Are you okay?”
Do Han examined Sa Rang’s face.
She seemed startled but unharmed.
“Ah, yes. I’m fine.”
Sa Rang quickly got up and sat in her seat.
Everywhere that had touched him felt as if a fiery flame was igniting.
