“I’m just a bit tired.”
“That won’t do.”
Simultaneously with his words, Dohyuk gently wrapped his hands around Jaein’s cheeks and lifted her face.
His palms emitted a warm heat.
“Strange? It seemed like the fever had gone down, but it’s risen again. Maybe it was tough. This won’t do. Let’s go to the emergency room.”
“No, it’s okay. It’s just because I’m feeling weak due to the medicine.”
Jaein spoke with a trembling voice.
“We just took medicine, so it should be okay once I fall asleep.”
“Still…”
“Now that you’ll sleep well, don’t worry about me and rest comfortably.”
Jaein slipped away from Dohyuk and hastily entered her room. Left behind, Dohyuk could only gaze worriedly at the place where she disappeared.
On a Saturday afternoon, Nahee was having a meal at Wujin’s house. Wujin’s father, Seo Yeongho, who retired as the school principal, appeared to be a quiet person, seemingly tightly controlled by his wife.
Wujin’s mother, Lee Jeongsuk, was not ordinary, as heard before. She spoke with abundant refinement, yet each word had a sharp edge.
“It seems like our Wujin has been neglecting his mom lately, perhaps because he met a pretty young lady like you. Ho-ho.”
“Mr. Wujin wouldn’t do that.”
Nahee smiled brightly, tilting her head slightly. Wujin, seated beside her, coughed awkwardly.
“No, when did I do that, Mom?”
“Hasn’t he changed?”
Jeongsuk glanced at Wujin and asked Nahee.
“But do Nahee’s parents approve of our Wujin?”
“Oh, yes. They like him very much.”
Nahee’s parents had already been talking about Wujin as their son-in-law.
“Of course, they would. You heard them saying they have many buildings, right? So, it wouldn’t be a big deal to give away a hospital, huh?”
Nahee was taken aback by Jeongsuk’s frank words that didn’t hide her thoughts.
Although she had mentally prepared for such a conversation, it was still surprising to hear it so directly.
“Ah… yes, they might.”
“Mom, why are you saying such things from the first meeting? It might make Nahee uncomfortable.”
Wujin tried to stop her, but he couldn’t hide the upward curl of his mouth.
“Our Wujin grew up with high expectations as the grandson of a well-established family. So, many people are looking forward to him marrying well and living a good life. Clever Nahee understands what I mean, right?”
“Well, yes.”
It’s pressure to do well as if you’ve been raised with such expectations. Nahee glanced at Wujin sitting beside her.
‘He’s admitted to medical school with the highest score, comes from a noble family with a long history, is a decent-looking guy, and though his personality may be a bit mama’s boy, I can handle it…’
It seemed like enough for people to envy. However, throughout her time at Wujin’s house, Nahee couldn’t shake off her lingering feelings for Dohyuk.
‘Indeed, it’s regrettable to just marry off to a team leader like this, without trying anything. I need to find a way…’
“Nahee, are you listening to me?”
At Jeongsuk’s call, Nahee snapped back to attention.
“Ah, sorry. What did you say?”
“I wonder what you were thinking so deeply about…”
Jeongsuk’s face showed a trace of displeasure.
“I said there’s a celebration for Wujin’s grandmother’s eightieth birthday on the 1st of next month. I’d like to introduce Nahee then. How’s the timing for you?”
“Huh? The eightieth birthday celebration is on January 1st?”
“Our family gathers together on the first day of the New Year. Although Mom’s birthday is two weeks later, we decided to celebrate while everyone is together.”
“Ah, yes…”
Spending the first day of the New Year at the grandmother’s eightieth birthday celebration, especially when the man is still uncertain about getting married or not. However, giving a difficult answer might leave a lasting impression.
Nahee couldn’t readily agree as the words of consent didn’t come out willingly.
“Oh, did I put too much pressure on you? I just wanted to brag about our Wujin meeting such a wonderful daughter-in-law like Nahee.”
Seeing Jeongsuk’s complexion darken, Nahee hastily spoke.
“Oh, it’s okay. I’ll attend.”
“Really? I was convinced that Nahee would become a part of our family from the first time I saw her. Ho-ho.”
The cultured laughter made Nahee feel like she had fallen into a trap.
‘Is this some kind of insurance just in case?’
Nahee felt like she had been caught in a trap without a chance to escape.
On the same day, in the late afternoon.
Jaein was inside her room, sighing deeply. Fortunately, her body was getting better, and it seemed she could get up easily by tomorrow. The problem was Jaein’s emotionally broken heart.
‘Oh, what should I do? How should I treat Team Leader from now on?’
Even during lunch with Dohyuk earlier, she was so tense that she couldn’t taste anything from the food. Since realizing her feelings for Dohyuk, Jaein couldn’t look him in the eyes properly. Just the thought of him made her embarrassed, and she wanted to hide somewhere.
