Peering inside, there were plenty of elegantly packaged boxes. With varying shapes and sizes, it seemed like they contained all sorts of desserts.
“It’s too much for me to eat alone. I should eat this with someone…”
“…….”
“Oh, no. I’ll eat it myself.”
Dajeong quickly changed her words, feeling the piercing, almost painful gaze.
In the restaurant too, why does he keep trying to feed me so much?
Could offering food be a form of communication for this man of few words? This thought made her feel that she shouldn’t refuse carelessly.
Dajeong nodded her head vigorously, showing a confident expression. Apparently, it was the right answer, as the slight frown on his face relaxed.
Dajeong turned to put the shopping bag in the storage space. Suddenly, a comment he had made casually flew through her mind like an arrow.
‘Do you like Southeast Asian food?’
“…….”
Surely, this won’t continue even after arrival. It shouldn’t.
As this dizzying thought took over her mind, her smile dried up.
The busiest first service time after takeoff.
With only two passengers in first class, it was quieter than usual. Moreover, since Tae Sang had only ordered coffee instead of a meal, there was even less to do.
“Dajeong, is the Americano ready?”
“Yes, it’s ready.”
“I’m going to the cockpit, so could you please serve it, Dajeong?”
“Yes.”
Cheerfully responding, Dajeong entered the cabin with the tray.
Tae Sang’s seat had the privacy door half open. Through the gap of the sliding door, his long legs stretched out endlessly could be seen.
The first-class seat seemed cramped for someone like Tae Sang.
Surprised anew at Tae Sang’s impressive physique, the privacy door of the opposite seat suddenly opened.
A passenger opening the door usually meant they needed something. Dajeong slowed down, anticipating a call.
But, even as she drew near, there was no call from him.
“……?”
It seemed like he had been waiting for the right moment.
The odd behavior of the passenger, who just kept the door open, caught her attention. Suddenly, their eyes met as she glanced sideways.
He flinched slightly and then naturally began to speak.
“Excuse me…”
“Yes, passenger.”
“Where is the bathroom?”
“There are two towards the front.”
Dajeong smiled kindly and pointed towards the front of the cabin. The man nodded lightly and stood up.
As Dajeong pulled the tray with coffee closer to her, she pressed her back against the seat door, making room in the corridor for the man to comfortably step out.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
As she slightly bowed her head, Tae Sang, seated on the opposite side, came into view. He was intently staring at the man, his brows tightly furrowed.
Could they possibly know each other? But the look in his eyes seemed too sharp for that.
The man walked towards the front of the cabin. Tae Sang’s gaze followed him as if searching for something.
Unwittingly, in a cautious voice, Dajeong called out to him.
“Vice President……?”
Tae Sang flinched, retracting his sharp gaze. Behind his curtain-like eyelashes, a contemplative look flickered.
“Is something the matter?”
“…….”
After several slow blinks, he slightly moved his sculpted lips.
“Han Da Jeong.”
“Yes?”
“You are my wife now, aren’t you?”
“Why would you suddenly ask that?”
She knew all too well that he was a man of excessive determination.
Wondering what he would say next, Dajeong unconsciously gripped the tray tighter.
“I think we need to start being more affectionate towards each other.”
“Us, affectionate…?”
Tae Sang nodded, casting his gaze far away. Following his eyes, Dajeong saw the restroom into which the male passenger had entered.
“That man is not just a passenger. He boarded to watch us.”
“What? Watching us? But why…….”
“To gather evidence that we are not lovers.”
“…….”
Gathering evidence? Does it mean we are under suspicion by someone? Suddenly, it felt like the blood drained from her body.
Dajeong was speechless, her mouth opening and closing without a word.
“So, just for a moment, treat me like a real lover.”
“Even if you say that, I don’t know how to…”
[Dash] Click.As she looked at him with a confused face, a metallic sound pierced her ears. Dajeong jerked her shoulder and quickly turned her head.
The man had exited the restroom, crossing the corridor with large strides. It seemed he had come out in less than a minute, likely just washing his hands quickly.
Was his urgency to watch us? The sound of his shoe heels was already near.
Dajeong, consumed with tension, silently stared ahead. The hairs on her neck stood up, signaling his gaze on her.
What should I do now?
She understood the need to pretend to be lovers to dispel the suspicion, but had no idea how to act.
Moreover, this was inside an airplane. The weight of the fact that this was her workplace made her body stiff.
‘Ah… the coffee.’
Her anxious gaze flitted from side to side when the tray in her hand caught her eye. It was the Americano she had been holding since being startled by Tae Sang’s words.
