If so! It was clear now that Ha Joon was teasing me.
Seo Ah abruptly lifted her bowed head.
“You’re making fun of me now because I can’t remember, aren’t you! I don’t have a drinking problem! You said I just slept like I fainted!”
“Ha.”
Ha Joon exhaled a short, amazed laugh.
“Well, think whatever you like. It’s better for your mental health.”
Ha Joon chose to give up, unable to explain with his own mouth what she had done and said last night.
It wasn’t that harmful to his mental health either.
Though he had suffered keeping silent at that moment, looking back, it was so adorable he thought he would go crazy.
((()))
After eating, they prepared to go to the airport.
Every time Ha Joon snickered at the thought of last night, Seo Ah became more and more sullen.
She wanted to ask him to tell her clearly, but was worried that it would indeed be harmful to her mental health if she heard it.
She felt sorry for Ha Joon, who had no choice but to sleep on the couch due to her sensitivity.
She also thought that she should restrain her drinking from now on.
After getting ready, they left the room and took the elevator.
But they ran into Ji Young again.
“Huh? Are you leaving now?”
“Yes.”
As always, Ha Joon responded firmly.
Seo Ah bowed her head and greeted her, thinking, I’ve never run into anyone staying on the same floor as me, how do I run into someone from a different floor so often?
Whenever she saw Ji Young, she felt envious. Ji Young had the appearance she wanted. She was much taller, chic, haughty, sexy, and emitted a career womanlike aura, something she couldn’t find in herself.
Most people envy what they don’t have. Ji Young felt the same way when she saw Seo Ah, who was different from her, cute and lovely, but she vehemently denied it.
“I think I need to manage the hotel better. It’s not like before.”
“I see. I’ll be careful.”
At Ha Joon’s cold response, Ji Young flinched. She knew his nature, so she wasn’t bothered, but it bothered her because Seo Ah was watching.
“Don’t you want to know what I’m dissatisfied with?”
“Even if the customer doesn’t say anything, our job is to satisfy them.”
“What’s the matter between us? I was going to tell you in detail if you were curious.”
“It’s okay.”
In the two’s cold war, Seo Ah was at a loss. Despite being always harshly treated by Ha Joon, Ji Young, who remained undisturbed and relaxed, seemed impressive.
“Hmm, you’re coming to the Alumni Night on Friday, right?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why are you uncertain when you come every year?”
“Why are you asking when you know I go every year?”
Ji Young’s flustered gaze flickered subtly, but she calmly said the words she had prepared.
The words she always wanted to say whenever they met by chance. Words that felt like thorns in her mouth if she didn’t say them.
“Since we’re coming together, oh, you’re not an alumnus, so you can’t come?”
Ji Young looked at Seo Ah and spoke, and Seo Ah, without realizing it, started to bite her lower lip that she had been hiding.
“That’s a shame. We could’ve become friends on this occasion…”
Ji Young couldn’t continue her words. Because Ha Joon interrupted.
“If I go, we’re going together.”
Following his words, Ji Young clenched her fists tightly.
“Couples are one, right?”
Ding. The elevator arrived on the first floor, and Ha Joon led Seo Ah by the hand he was holding.
But as soon as Ha Joon stepped out of the elevator, he stopped on one side and gently lifted Seo Ah’s chin with one hand.
What is he doing with so many people around? Surprised, Seo Ah took a step back, but
Ha Joon lightly wrapped his remaining arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
“If you bit any harder, you would have bled.”
“Eh, what?”
“Also, in the future, don’t move away when I approach, just stand still.”
Ha Joon whispered in a low voice.
“People are watching.”
‘So, people, especially Ji Young, need to see our affectionate moments. We can’t appear awkward.’
Even though Ha Joon tried to explain with his gaze, Seo Ah, who did not catch on to his intentions, was flustered, her face turning red.
Looking at her, Ji Young froze on the spot, unable to leave the elevator.
If it hadn’t been for Seo Ah, he could have been her man. Everyone around her thought so, and even Ha Joon’s mother had expressed her wish to have her as a daughterinlaw.
If she had a bit more time, she could have made him marry her, but it all fell through because Ha Joon hurried to get married.
Could the person who always changed the topic when people brought up a marriage of convenience with Seo Ah, change like this?
Divorce or remarriage was possible in this business if necessary. The Tae Sung Group had never had such an issue, but there was no rule that said it wouldn’t happen in the future.
In Ji Young’s eyes, there was a fiery determination to prove that the person Ha Joon needed was not Seo Ah but herself. Her fists, clenched tightly, were trembling.
The employees who were watching Ha Joon and Seo Ah were buzzing with gossip.
“Isn’t that the head of the department?”
“He doesn’t look like that at all! He’s bold in expressing affection!”
They definitely thought it was a marriage of convenience common among conglomerates on the first day, as they were each just doing their own thing. But yesterday and today, it was a thrilling honeymoon atmosphere to anyone’s eyes.
The groom was looking at the bride as if he was in love, the bride was shy,
“I thought the head of the department only knew about work, but I guess he really loved her and married her. Did you see the look in his eyes when he looked at the bride in the article photo yesterday?”
“It’s no joke now, either. He’s going to pierce the bride’s face with his gaze.”
“But isn’t the bride too pretty?”
“Yeah. You’d have to be that attractive for someone like the department head to like you.”
Then, the employees became even more flustered as the two seemed to be kissing for a moment.
“Oh my! Are they kissing right now?”
Ha Joon, who just wanted to check Seo Ah’s lips for a moment, found her reaction so cute that he felt like teasing her.
“If you distance yourself once more, regardless of time and place…”
He lowered his head and whispered into her ear.
“I’ll kiss you.”
But then, something popped into Seo Ah’s head.
Why don’t you kiss me?
A shock wave rolled through Seo Ah’s pupils.
She was more flustered than by the behavior Ha Joon just showed.
So what’s next? Was that it? Why can’t I remember more! I feel like something more incredible happened!
