Min Hyuk seemed tormented, as if he had made a slip of the tongue in failing to suppress his emotions. He was chastising himself for speaking out even knowing she might be confused if he told her he had seen it before.
But when Da Hyun burst into the room before even being told to come in, Min Hyuk was very surprised.
He had run away in a ridiculous manner, afraid of what she would say after he confessed his feelings.
But he hadn’t expected her to come looking for him.
She was afraid she might ask about the past. Because she wasn’t confident to tell the truth if she asked.
“Han Da Hyun.”
“I hate to end it this uncomfortably.”
Da Hyun quickly added before he could continue. It was her turn now, as he had said his piece earlier.
“You mentioned a confession, Min Hyuk.”
“Uh? Uh. A, a confession?”
Min Hyuk stammered in surprise at her blunt and daring statement.
“If we don’t resolve this now, I think I’ll be tired even before meeting your father because I’ll be preoccupied. So, I want to answer your confession now.”
Da Hyun’s bombshell of a statement made his eyes widen greatly. The hand that had been stroking his jaw dropped limply.
She decided to lay her thoughts out honestly. Since he had shown his feelings to her, she intended to do the same.
“You can answer slowly later if you want.”
“I can’t. It’s too preoccupying. You wouldn’t want us to be in a vague relationship like this either, Min Hyuk.”
She was someone he had to live with, and a face he had to see every day.
Da Hyun decided to change her mindset from what it was initially.
“Do you think the past is important, Min Hyuk?”
Min Hyuk felt a pain in his throat and was gasping for breath.
“I don’t think it’s important. I’m not saying this because I don’t remember the past. I always thought the present and the future are more important than the past.”
“I think the same.”
The past was important to him, but this moment with her was more precious.
Min Hyuk faintly smiled looking at her bold and peachycheeked face.
He had indeed been a bit too forward.
She was also shy when she actually went to find him.
“Honestly, I can’t confess my feelings as confidently as you, Min Hyuk.”
As Da Hyun spit out the words, her heart churned. She didn’t understand why she was feeling overwhelmed.
“But I’ll revoke living on the premise of divorce.”
Min Hyuk’s pupils trembled like waves. Da Hyun let out a deep and satisfied breath, and naturally smiled.
She looked more relaxed than when she first came in, as if a weight had been lifted from her chest.
There wasn’t a moment she wasn’t pretty. His throat went dry every time she spoke in a soft whisper with her small lips.
He wanted to swallow those cute lips with his own.
“Even if I say I li, like you, you shouldn’t forget your purpose, Min Hyuk.”
“Purpose?”
Only then did his gaze shift from her lips to her eyes.
Min Hyuk was puzzled by Da Hyun’s mention of a purpose, but then he understood.
“Ah, that purpose.”
She had forgotten the words she had said, asking for help to step on and surpass Si Hoon.
Because they were words she had made up in the first place, she often forgot them since she didn’t think about them deeply.
“Right. I should not forget.”
That way, she wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
“I wish you wouldn’t meet with my brother alone. From now on, even if you meet him, just ignore him.”
“Is it because I stood up to our father in the past?”
Da Hyun would continue to live as she had been living. If she couldn’t remember, she could create from now on. It was such a waste of time to have worried over suspicious memories because she was thinking too hard instead of thinking simply.
“Don’t worry. It’s all in the past now.”
“But I’m still jealous. Don’t meet Kang Si Hoon, or any other man.”
“Isn’t that being too overtly expressive now?”
Min Hyuk smiled following her, chuckling lightly.
“Isn’t it always like this during the honeymoon phase?”
His tense face relaxed. Memories that hadn’t returned even after 2 years wouldn’t suddenly come back.
“Shouldn’t we date first before we enjoy our honeymoon?”
“…What?”
Min Hyuk asked, feeling nervous.
“Dating.”
Min Hyuk always made cold and rational judgments when dealing with people. He quickly analyzed what the other person was thinking and read their thoughts.
But when it came to her, he became a fool, his rationality faltered and he couldn’t maintain his coolness.
“We’re already married, but still, that’s a relationship established through business.”
Da Hyun, who had been confident, blushed and lowered her voice after speaking.
Min Hyuk couldn’t tell whether the words that came out of her mouth now were true or false. But it was fine if they were false, and it was fine if it was a joke.
It was driving him mad how adorable she was just to look at, and her sweet words made him lose his mind. He wanted to get up and hold her right away.
His suppressed desires were slowly resurfacing.
She was like a bright sun that illuminated the universe. Yet, if one got too close, they’d burn up without a trace.
As Min Hyuk sat there in a daze, Da Hyun clenched her eyes shut and said the words that had been spinning in her mouth.
“Let’s really date. But I can’t say I like you yet.”
“Are you sure you won’t regret that?”
He didn’t understand why it felt like he was the one making the fervent confession when he was the one who confessed first.
“I wouldn’t have come to your study if I was going to regret it.”
The grand throbbing in her chest pleasantly tickled her reason.
Min Hyuk’s head was spinning, and he bit down hard on the tender flesh inside his mouth.
It hurt.
“You absolutely can’t be coerced. Will you be okay? If you’re doing this because you feel sorry for rejecting my confession, you don’t have to.”
“I wouldn’t overdo it for something like this. If I didn’t like it, I would have flatly rejected it.”
The real Da Hyun, whether it was then or now, was a being he dared not covet.
Min Hyuk wanted to yell out loud to vent his soaring emotions.
“So we….”
“Today is our first day.”
Da Hyun cut off Min Hyuk’s words and shyly reached out her hand. When Da Hyun cutely offered a handshake, Min Hyuk wanted to enclose her tightly in his arms instead of a handshake.
“Ah, how can one not fall for this.”
The charm of charging forward without hesitation. The smile that captivated the other person. When she frankly revealed her thoughts, it seemed like light was leaking from her body, dazzling him.
“Please take care of me from now on.”
Min Hyuk held the hand she reached out asking for him to take care of their relationship and laughed heartily.
The warmth of their clasped hands was shared between them.
