It was Jae In who was taken aback.
All because of Do Hyuk, who remained unfazed, not even blinking an eye.
‘Usually, the liar should be the flustered one, right?’
Jae In decided to probe deeper.
“But why did you bathe outside again tonight? Anyone would find it strange.”
“Hmm. It is strange.”
Do Hyuk responded as if discussing someone else’s story.
‘What is this feeling? It’s like talking to a wall. He’s clearly listening and even actively agreeing, but something feels increasingly suffocating.’
Jae In was frustrated with Do Hyuk’s nonchalant attitude.
After all, everything started with Do Hyuk.
If Do Hyuk hadn’t told such a ridiculous lie, Jae In wouldn’t have even thought about sneaking into his room, and she would have been comfortably sleeping by now.
“Team Leader, shouldn’t you offer some kind of excuse?”
“Excuse?”
As Jae In nodded firmly, Do Hyuk spoke with an indifferent expression.
“It’s quite curious. When Ms. Seo Jae In touches it, hot water comes out.”
“Seriously, is that even logical?”
Jae In snorted in disbelief.
“I tried it this dawn, and there was hot water. But when I returned from work and tried again, there wasn’t?”
“You expect me to believe that?”
Jae In felt like Do Hyuk was mocking her and flared up.
“That’s why. I knew any excuse wouldn’t be convincing, so I said nothing.”
I understand where you’re coming from,
But this isn’t right.
“Team Leader, aren’t you embarrassed to be caught?”
“Not at all.”
“……!”
Typical Cha Do Hyuk.
Do Hyuk, noticing Jae In’s flustered look, gave a sly smile.
He then slowly leaned towards her.
Approaching close enough to feel Jae In’s breath, he whispered while intently gazing into her eyes,
“Now, Ms. Seo Jae In, tell me.”
“What, what do you mean?”
Taken aback by Do Hyuk’s sudden closeness, Jae In’s voice quivered.
“Why did I do that?”
“Well… You would know, Team Leader.”
“I feel like you, Ms. Seo Jae In, might know the answer even better.”
Speak up,
Do Hyuk raised and lowered his eyebrows, prompting her.
Jae In’s face turned beet red in an instant.
“That, that’s because…”
She just wanted to see Do Hyuk get flustered.
But now, it was Jae In who felt cornered like a trapped mouse.
How could she even begin?
It seemed like Do Hyuk intentionally set this atmosphere with his shower gown attire. Was she right in her assumption?
If she was, then what?
What if Do Hyuk seriously started making moves?
‘Seo Jae In, pull yourself together! You decided to ignore the team leader’s feelings.’
Even if she acknowledges them, she’s not reciprocating.
Jae In buried her chaotic thoughts and took a deep, calming breath.
She felt lost about how to navigate this situation.
Speaking her mind might just provoke Do Hyuk further.
Maybe it’s better to say that Cha Do Hyuk is an exhibitionist and wanted to show off.
No, isn’t that going too far?
What if that’s the actual reason? Anyway.
After a whirlwind of thoughts, a single solution emerged.
With an awkward smile, Jae In said,
“Ah, Team Leader, you must’ve really wanted to use the living room bathroom. Just tell me. The living room bathroom is spacious and nice. The mirror is huge. What other reason could there be?”
“……!”
“It’s your place, Team Leader. It’s not my place to care where you go. My needless curiosity caused trouble. Whether there’s hot water or not, why should that matter? Ah, I apologize. Hahaha.”
Upon hearing Jae In’s response, deep lines furrowed Do Hyuk’s brow.
She herself knew her words made no sense.
But she couldn’t think of a way to skirt around the topic.
Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Jae In sneaked glances to gauge Do Hyuk’s reaction.
Then, just as Do Hyuk seemed to frown, he suddenly burst into laughter.
“Ms. Seo Jae In, you’re truly amusing. Haha.”
Chuckling, Do Hyuk shook his head.
‘Maybe he’s moved on? I should escape while he’s in a good mood.’
Thinking it was her chance, Jae In stood up and bowed deeply.
“Well, it’s getting late. I’ll take my leave. Have a good night.”
However.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, she found herself unable to take a step forward.
Do Hyuk’s large hand had firmly grasped her wrist.
Startled, Jae In turned to meet Do Hyuk’s teasing gaze.
“T-Team Leader?”
“We still have things to discuss, don’t we?”
“…… Discuss? What do you mean?”
“Sit down and let’s talk.”
It was a voice she couldn’t refuse.
Jae In reluctantly sat back down.
“How about a drink? You must be thirsty.”
Jae In’s eyes lit up.
She remembered the impressive beer collection in Do Hyuk’s room, which she had admired earlier.
She had been craving beer since yesterday.
Given that she couldn’t run away now,
“Well, then just one bottle?”
A moment later.
Jae In reveled in the refreshing sensation of the beer going down her throat, wearing a blissful smile.
She was already on her third bottle.
Including the ones Do Hyuk drank, six beer bottles neatly lined the table.
“Ah, so good!”
“Ms. Seo Jae In?”
Do Hyuk, who had been silent for a while, softly called out her name.
“Yes, Team Leader. What is it?”
