“I’m quite free next week.”
“Ah… I see.”
“So, when is it?”
“Next Saturday. It’s a big event where parents and students from other schools come too. There’s a lot to see, and the piano performances are quite good.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Right?”
“More to seeing Yeong-jin than the piano.”
“Ah….”
His calm voice left deep ripples in Da-jeong’s heart.
Every year, she went to the festival alone, leaving a lot of empty space in her commemorative photos.
This year seemed different; just thinking about it warmed a corner of her heart. Da-jeong continued with a sunny smile.
“If Yeong-jin acts a bit fussy, please understand. It’s his first time meeting his sister’s boyfriend, so he might be a bit overly critical.”
“Then….”
A light laughter passed through the air.
“I can’t go empty-handed.”
“What? No, please don’t buy anything. I didn’t mean it like that.”
Startled, Da-jeong fluttered her hands. Tae-sang caught one and stood up.
“It’s too late. I already bought something.”
Da-jeong stood in the spacious room, slowly looking around.
A large bed, a nightstand, a softly glowing nightstand lamp. The room, located at the end of the first floor, was filled with simple, stylish furniture.
“Why here…?”
Mentioning a gift for Yeong-jin, then abruptly being in the bedroom.
Da-jeong blinked her large eyes quietly while Tae-sang intertwined his deep gaze with hers. Under the yellow light, his dark eyes shone mesmerizingly.
“It’s here.”
“……?”
“What I bought.”
Tae-sang moved calmly towards the nightstand. He lightly pulled the drawer open, revealing a small box in the empty space.
A leather case with a glossy sheen. Da-jeong’s face froze in surprise.
“That, that’s…”
“I planned to give it later, but it seems I can’t wait.”
“……”
“I can’t let you go empty-handed.”
Tae-sang picked up the ring case straightforwardly. Da-jeong watched, spellbound. He slowly opened it with his long fingers.
“Ah….”
Like raindrops hanging on the tip of an umbrella.
Staring at the large diamond set in the ring, Da-jeong was suddenly captivated by the thought.
“I’ve wanted to give this to you since the day I asked you to marry me.”
Tae-sang gently took the ring out of the case, and the finely cut surface of the gem sparkled clearly.
“It’s not as beautiful as your hand, but…”
He lifted her hand.
“I still want to put it on you.”
The cool band slid slowly over her finger, fitting perfectly.
Da-jeong stared blankly at the unfamiliar sight of her hand.
This was the first time someone had given her a ring, the first time she received such cherished feelings.
“It’s so beautiful… Did you choose it yourself?”
“Of course. It’s for you.”
He spoke warmly, gently stroking her hair.
Each touch, each look, seemed to exist only to enchant her. Da-jeong accepted his touch dreamily. Then, as if remembering something, her eyes flickered.
“I haven’t prepared anything… Rings are usually exchanged. I had no idea…”
“It’s okay. I started it.”
“Tae-sang…”
“I, alone, impulsively. Cherished you.”
“……”
Despite the stinging brightness, her heart felt warm.
Da-jeong felt a mix of happiness and a tinge of melancholy. She knew he was a patient man, but it must have been hard and lonely for him.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you wanted to give it to me? The ring, and your feelings…….”
“I didn’t want to startle you.”
She looked at him, surprised. It seemed unbelievable that he had hidden his feelings for that reason.
Reflecting on it, he had always been like this, always one step ahead of her.
“You said you were serious about me from the start, right? That it wasn’t coincidence, but fate.”
“…….”
“I want to know. Since when… What kind of feelings have you harbored?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
