Unable to bear it, he had made a space for her first. It was like laying a trap right within his field of view.
In reality, it was a trap. According to the investigation, Yoon Jae In had borrowed a friend’s name to open a yoga studio and even lived in an officetel, which was contracted under her friend’s mother’s name.
The reason was obvious. She was trying to hide from Jo Dae Hoon that she was in Korea.
Therefore, Tae Seo’s invitation would have been an event that Yoon Jae In would reject without a second thought. But if Jae In desired Tae Seo, she would ponder whether to attend or not.
Tae Seo was tapping on the armrest of the chair with his long fingers. The blush he had seen on Jae In’s cheeks a few days ago flashed in his thinly opened eyes.
“Let’s see. What her intentions were when she approached me. And to what extent she would gather her courage.”
If Jae In dared, he was willing to go along with whatever her plan was. That’s why Tae Seo invited Jae In.
He wished that she would reveal herself in front of him, risking all dangers. He wanted her to desire him that much.
It didn’t matter what purpose was behind that desire. The mere fact that Yoon Jae In’s gaze was directed at him was enough. If Jae In wanted, he could willingly become a means to her end.
“Don’t be scared, come to me.”
Tae Seo mumbled, seemingly casting a spell, as he gently gazed in the direction where Jae In might be.
Of course, he had no intention of remaining just a means for Yoon Jae In. Who was Tae Seo?
All he needed to do was captivate her. If only Yoon Jae In herself would step into his territory.
“This is interesting.”
Tae Seo rose, looking at the brilliant night view. His shirt was taut against his broad back and shoulders as he straightened up, his hands in his slacks pockets.
Regardless of how it started, his goal was to make himself Yoon Jae In’s final destination.
Tae Seo, waiting for tomorrow, chewed over the New Year’s resolution I had thought of, hoping that Jae In would be greedy.
“What’s the matter?”
Jae In stared at the man sitting across from her in the yoga studio consultation room with a sharp expression.
Her mind was so cluttered that she hadn’t been able to sleep all night. Wanting to at least move her body, Jae In, who had arrived at “Yoga Mandala” early in the morning, stopped in her tracks at the sight of a man standing in front of the locked door.
She knew who the middleaged man in a neat suit was. She had tried to hide her arrival in Korea, but they had found Jae In so easily.
“You don’t want to be here.”
“Why? What have I done? Can’t I live in Korea?”
What Jo Dae Hoon’s chief secretary had placed on the table without a word was an envelope. Jae In picked up the envelope with a hollow laugh.
Whether it was yesterday or today, the situation of facing someone who kept shoving an envelope at her in the same place was humorous.
“Go back to the US.”
What came out of the envelope was a ticket to Chicago, departing tomorrow.
“……”
Jae In bit her thick lips. She hadn’t expected to be found out this quickly. She hadn’t done anything yet, how did they know?
To Jae In’s knowledge, Jo Dae Hoon had no interest in her. Therefore, he did not even bother to keep an eye on her. It meant that she wasn’t even a subject to be monitored. In other words, it meant they were laughing at her.
“I will inform that you will return tomorrow. If there is anything you need, please contact us.”
Jae In stared at the business card the man had left for a long time. When she reached out for the card after a long thought, Sanghwa came in.
“Our Jae In, you came early?”
“Yep.”
“My child, did you eat breakfast?”
“Sanghwa.”
“Hmm?”
“I’m going to skip my afternoon class today.”
“Huh? Suddenly? Is there something wrong?”
Jae In, who gave Sanghwa a smile, held up her cell phone instead of a business card. Then she picked up another business card that had been left on one side of the table.
“I’m Yoon Jae In.”
With her decidedly businesslike tone, Sanghwa took the hint and closed the consultation room door behind her as she left.
“I accept your invitation.”
Jae In, who had been silent for a moment, lifted up and stared at the business card that Jo Dae Hoon’s secretary had left a while ago.
“I need help immediately today. I need someone to help with clothes, as well as makeup and hair.”
Jae In’s hand did not hesitate as she crumpled the business card and tossed it in the trash bin.
Jae In took a deep breath and put strength into her arms and erector spinae. Slowly leaning, Jae In’s body was now standing tall, upside down.
“Hooo…”
She concentrated her strength in her abdomen and took a deep breath. There was no point in letting her worries linger.
The appearance of Jo Dae Hoon’s secretary, just when she was pondering whether to accept the invitation, was a thankful occurrence. It had been just the push she needed to make a quick decision.
