Min Hyuk really was the epitome of kindness.
Da Hyun, smiling brightly, grabbed his arm and linked her arm with his.
He often put his hand around her waist, but she had never initiated contact so naturally before.
It felt slightly embarrassing to act on it.
Even after doing more than this, she wondered if it was silly to feel jittery about merely linking arms.
“What are you doing?”
“Huh?”
Flustered by his stern expression, Da Hyun slowly withdrew her arm.
“Sorry. Don’t you like linking arms?”
“Why would I not like it? I mean, it’s you who’s linking with me. How could I not like it?”
He teased her by tensing his arm, making it impossible for her to unlink their arms, effectively trapping the arm she had tried to link.
Min Hyuk relaxed his arm, signaling Da Hyun to re-link their arms.
With a sigh, Da Hyun readjusted and properly linked arms with him.
“Da Hyun, don’t be self-conscious. Do what you want. I like everything you do.”
Once they properly linked arms, his smile grew content, as if savoring the satisfaction of a full meal.
His words sounded like a whisper of temptation, urging her to have her way with him.
“So, go ahead.”
There was definitely a devilish charm in him. Otherwise, his words wouldn’t have sounded so tantalizing.
Da Hyun pretended not to notice and mumbled.
“What if I really do whatever I want?”
As they walked arm in arm, Min Hyuk shrugged nonchalantly, as if saying he was ready for anything.
“I’m confident I can handle anything.”
Da Hyun walked leisurely, then fell silent for a moment before whispering softly.
“……Let’s go home quickly.”
Hearing her timid voice, Min Hyuk turned his head slightly and leaned towards her. She kept walking, looking straight ahead.
Realizing she might have misunderstood his words, Min Hyuk bit his lip mischievously.
“Da Hyun, you didn’t get any weird ideas from what I said, right?”
“Of course not. What weird thoughts could there be?”
Caught off guard, Da Hyun responded quickly to his question.
Unaware that her awkward act made her more suspicious, she avoided his probing gaze.
“What do you mean, ‘of course not’? Then why is your face all red?”
“It’s just hot.”
“Hmm.”
Da Hyun closed her eyes tightly, then opened them. Why did she have to stutter at that moment?
She cleared her throat and continued.
“It’s really true.”
“Okay, let’s say it was because it’s hot.”
If she says she’s innocent, then she must be. Min Hyuk stopped teasing her and reached for the front door.
“Why are you suddenly looking at me so slyly?”
His playful gaze made Da Hyun flustered. She quickly unlinked their arms and walked past him into the entrance.
But feeling his intense gaze on her back, Da Hyun turned around while unstrapping her ivory shoes.
Their eyes met at that moment.
Da Hyun, leaning on the door for support, asked,
“Why look at me like that? It’s… it’s uncomfortable.”
“I like even the naughty Da Hyun.”
He smirked, arms crossed playfully.
Da Hyun felt like she was the one being naughty.
Who’s being naughty now?
“I didn’t have any weird thoughts.”
“Sure, sure. Our Da Hyun is so pure and innocent. You wouldn’t think anything naughty, right?”
His tone was unmistakably teasing.
“Min Hyuk!”
Her face, already flushed, turned even redder.
Min Hyuk clutched his stomach and burst into loud laughter. Hearing his laughter for the first time, Da Hyun was momentarily taken aback.
When I first met him, I didn’t realize, but now I see he’s a man of many smiles.
Moreover, his smile was so enchanting that it captivated people. Today, Da Hyun realized that a handsome man looks good no matter how he smiles.
Yet strangely, Da Hyun felt an unexplainable sense of alienation again, unconsciously furrowing her brows.
Her heart rate quickened, and her chest felt prickly, as if thorns were embedded in it.
It was already the second time today. For the first time, Da Hyun felt a sense of aversion towards Min Hyuk.
It wasn’t because his smile was too dazzling. It wasn’t because she hated seeing him so joyously happy.
Da Hyun felt she shouldn’t see him wear such a blissful smile. She felt she shouldn’t watch him bask in happiness with such contentment.
Da Hyun’s pupils quivered noticeably.
Was she feeling uneasy because of his overwhelming happiness?
Trying to hide her swirling, dizzy emotions, Da Hyun composed her face.
Before he could notice her troubled expression, she entered the house.
“I’ll go in first.”
“Okay. I won’t tease anymore. Your reactions are just too adorable. I couldn’t stop myself. Sorry.”
Min Hyuk called out to her with a smile still on his lips, but she pretended not to hear and didn’t wait, passing through the hallway and up the stairs to the second floor.
He might think she rushed to her room because she was angry. But right now, Da Hyun wasn’t in the state to consider his feelings.
Even though she was walking straight, it felt like she was losing her way.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
