Haru, you…….
Rrrrr. Rrrrr.
The whirlwind of thoughts that had been swelling madly in my mind was abruptly cut off.
I knew who would be calling me at this time, even without checking the phone. It had to be Secretary Yoon.
As I left the hotel to meet Haru, I had made a request, almost a plea, not to be disturbed today unless it was an absolute emergency. So, the ringing of my phone now wasn’t a good sign.
It must be an urgent matter, and if I ignored this call, the consequences would not just affect me but others as well.
“Ah, sorry. I can’t avoid this call.”
I had no choice. As I got up, I noticed Haru’s shoulders slump, relieved, as if she was finally able to relax. I inadvertently frowned.
Why were you so tense? So subdued? As soon as I freed you from my gaze, you were like someone who had lost all their energy. Why are you like that?
The loud ringtone stopped any further questions. Reluctantly, I pressed the green button. A familiar voice began to flow from the unsealed phone.
The person who had prominently displayed their name on the phone’s screen was taking a long time to get to the point. Hearing her voice was explanation enough.
“I should’ve known. If it was a request that could be so easily broken, I shouldn’t have made it in the first place. Just wasted my breath.”
There was a clear note of sarcasm in my voice. Secretary Yoon must have had her reasons, and those reasons would surely be related to my work.
Here I am, dragging my personal emotions into my professional life. I’m still not quite an adult.
[I’m really sorry. It’s just that this isn’t something that can be postponed to the next day. I’m truly sorry.]I leaned against the window, glancing at Haru, hoping that her shoulders might have relaxed a bit while I wasn’t looking.
But my hopes quickly vanished.
Was it me causing the whirl in those eyes that seemed to be caught in a small vortex? What had made those eyes whirl so intensely? Why did you, Haru, let me get caught in that whirl?
Haru, what are you thinking…
I couldn’t take my eyes off her. A ripple started to stir in my chest. I felt the urge to go to her right now, to ask about the emotions reflected in her eyes.
[It’s about the interview with Director Miller. The interview we submitted in writing was cut off midway. We were urgently contacted. Apparently, the interview questions we initially received from the conference organizers were divided into two parts, but we were mistakenly sent only the first part.]“…….”
[They plan to compile the interview contents into a booklet by the day of the conference, so they’re requesting us to check the second part of the interview questions and send the answers by email as soon as possible.]Their mistake, and yet, we’re the ones being pushed.
I bit my lip to suppress the slight irritation rising from today’s twisted schedule. It’s inevitable in human endeavors, but I’m getting tired of these unavoidable situations that arise without warning.
Especially on a day like today. A day when Haru is right beside me.
I spoke, making sure my voice didn’t waver with sighs.
“Okay, send me the interview questions by email right now. I’ll respond by today.”
[Sorry to bother you on your day off.]“The organizers didn’t know today was my rare day off, did they? Oh, and Secretary Yoon, I’m not being sarcastic, so don’t worry. Just send the email.”
My subtly sarcastic tone even grated on my ears. After the call ended, a held-back sigh escaped through my parched lips.
“An interview with the famous Director Miller? So, the conversation will be in English?”
Haru’s voice sounded unusually vibrant. I turned towards where she was. The swirling vortex had disappeared, and her eyes, softly glowing with the hues of twilight, were looking at me.
Was the redness around her eyes because of that?
With a face that looked like it might cry at any moment, how could I push her further?
“Can’t have a conversation in Korean with an English person. But how did you know about the interview with Director Miller? Did I mention it?”
I approached her slowly, keeping my face as composed as possible. I was going there anyway, so don’t worry, I won’t push you to reveal your feelings.
“Didn’t you know? I thought you did that on purpose.”
“What?”
“You took the call on speakerphone just now.”
It felt like bells were ringing in my head. Ding-dong. You should get a grip.
When we met in Japan, you took whatever harsh words I had like it was nothing.
But today, you looked so deflated, as if you’d collapse if I didn’t rush to hold you. What button did I press? How did Secretary Yoon’s voice sound? I hadn’t paid proper attention to anything.
My thoughts are always drawn to you at the slightest chance. It’s beyond my control.
“Ah, my head hurts. So, Haru heard everything?”
I casually leaned back on the sofa where I had been sitting earlier. Your shoulders didn’t seem to twitch, so maybe you’ve calmed down a bit. I silently sighed with relief. Are you really okay now?

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
