Jaein struggled to maintain consciousness as she called Dohyuk.
“…Director Kim?”
In an instant, his large hand that had been holding her shoulder twitched, and Dohyuk abruptly stood up.
Jaein quickly got up and sat by the bed.
Dohyuk, with a bewildered expression, said, “Oh, don’t misunderstand!”
“Yes?”
“Because you didn’t break the promise now, don’t say you’re leaving.”
Ah, because of the promise from yesterday?
“Promise not to do this anymore. Otherwise, I’ll leave right away!”
“Okay, I’ll stop.”
Jaein burst into laughter at Dohyuk’s unexpected actions.
With a puzzled look, Dohyuk asked, “Why are you laughing?”
“Well, you seem unusually helpless, not like your usual self.”
“Me?”
“Yes. Are you afraid I’ll leave or something?”
“Ah…”
Dohyuk’s face turned slightly red.
In response, Jaein also blushed.
“Oh well, it’s reassuring to see Director Kim determined to keep the promise.”
“Fortunately.”
“What do you mean?”
“Seeing Ms. Seo Jaein laugh makes me feel like she’s come back to life.”
Come to think of it.
Jaein laughed and felt remarkably lighter.
Usually, when she was with Dohyuk, she was not only scared but also unable to speak properly.
However, she couldn’t remember when, but she was no longer afraid of Dohyuk.
Rather, it felt comfortable and enjoyable to talk to him.
It was like the comfort of revealing oneself honestly without embellishments.
Except for the times he transformed into a beast.
‘What is this feeling? It’s really strange for me.’
Jaein felt frustrated because she couldn’t interpret the emotions surging within her.
At that moment, Dohyuk spoke in a calm voice.
“Ms. Seo Jaein, no matter how you’ve thought of me until now, it’s okay.”
“Yes?”
“It doesn’t matter. What’s important is from now on.”
His serious expression left Jaein speechless.
“You probably know very well about my feelings. Now you just need to know, Ms. Seo Jaein.”
Dohyuk leaned forward, placed his hand on Jaein’s forehead, and whispered softly.
“Tell me about your feelings.”
“……!”
At that moment, Jaein heard her own heart sinking with a thud.
“There’s still lingering warmth. Wait a moment; I’ll bring some porridge.”
“Oh, no. I’ll go out and eat; it’s stifling to stay in the room.”
“Then do that.”
Dohyuk smiled and stood up.
Then, facing away with the door handle in hand, he said quietly as if blaming himself.
“As Ms. Seo Jaein said, I did get scared just now.”
“Strong will, what is…”
In the silent room, alone, Jaein was lost in thought.
Thump, thump.
Thump, thump.
The sound of her heartbeat, which had already stepped on the accelerator, echoed loudly in her ears.
The words Dohyuk left in her mind continued to swirl around. She sat motionless for a while, only blinking her large eyes. Then, at some point, a sudden thought struck her.
“I’ve fallen for him!”
Her face turned crimson, and her hands trembled. Despite taking medicine to lower her fever, the satisfaction was in vain as her entire body heated up again.
“Director Kim, where is the fairness in barging in when I’m unwell? This is cheating.”
And finally, Jaein had to admit it—her true feelings for the man, Cha Dohyuk.
“What should I do? It seems I like Director Kim!”
“Seo Jaein, are you okay? Your complexion seems worse than earlier.”
Dohyuk, watching Jaein eat without much enthusiasm, asked with concern. Her bowed head, silent for a while, looked particularly strange.
Even though she was in pain, Jaein wasn’t the type to sit glumly in front of food.
“Doesn’t the porridge taste bad? Director Kim finished a bowl at noon… Did you get tired of it?”
“Oh, no. It’s just that I don’t have much of an appetite. Well, since I’ve finished, I’ll be going now…”
There was more than half of the porridge left.
Dohyuk grinned and called Jaein, who was walking towards her room.
“Well, Seo Jaein, look at my face.”
Startled, Jaein tried to avoid the situation by turning away, but Dohyuk quickly stopped her.
“Seo Jaein, you can’t just leave like that.”
“Why, why…?”
“Is there nothing you’ve forgotten?”
“Ah… Thank you for the meal.”
As Jaein greeted and tried to turn away, Dohyuk reached out again and urgently stopped her.
“That’s not it. You need to take the medicine after eating!”
“Yes? Ah… okay.”
Jaein, still looking at the floor, approached the table and, turning her back to Dohyuk, took the medicine.
Dohyuk couldn’t help but laugh at her obviously unnatural actions.
In just a few minutes, the brightly laughing Jaein inside the room seemed like an entirely different person.
Feeling a little closer, yet being pushed away again, it felt somewhat disappointing.
Dohyuk grabbed Jaein’s arm as if running away and leaving the kitchen.
Startled, Jaein, who quickly pulled her hand away from Dohyuk, stepped back.
“Seo Jaein, did I make a mistake or something?”
“…No.”
“Then the porridge didn’t taste good? I’ll ask Director Kim to make it for you tomorrow.”
“…It’s not that…”
As if coaxing, Dohyuk asked with a soft voice.
“Why do you keep acting strangely? What’s going on?”
