“Who could it be this early in the morning?”
Startled, Jaein urgently shook Dohyuk to wake him.
“Team leader, please wake up.”
“Hmm… Why?”
Dohyuk, still with closed eyes, mumbled in a sleepy voice.
“Looks like someone came.”
“No one’s supposed to come. Probably just a wrong button press.”
“The intercom is ringing. Could it be Director Kim?”
Only then did Dohyuk reluctantly open his eyes.
“If it’s an intruder, we should pretend we don’t know.”
As soon as Dohyuk finished speaking, he grabbed Jaein’s arm.
Jaein, losing her balance, ended up burying her face in his chest.
Feeling the solid muscles that seemed like they would bounce her off, Jaein’s body shivered.
“Bu-but we should check. Please wake up.”
“Don’t want to.”
“Are you going to keep lazing around? It’s already 10 o’clock.”
Dohyuk pulled Jaein closer, whispering with a subtle tone.
“Miss Seo Jaein seems to have tormented me all night.”
“Me?”
Look at these innocent eyes.
Astounded, Jaein escaped from Dohyuk’s embrace and confronted him.
“You tormented me! Can’t you see the dark circles under my eyes?”
“Me?”
Dohyuk made a face as if he knew nothing.
Come on, show me those innocent eyes.
“If it’s not Team Leader, who else could it be here?”
“Really? How did I torment you?”
“That’s because Team Leader…!”
Sip.
Jaein closed her mouth tightly.
There were so many things she wanted to say, but she couldn’t let them out.
Dohyuk burst into laughter.
‘Fooled again!’
After being consecutively fooled, Jaein felt unjust, and it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
Looking mischievous as if seeing through her, Dohyuk chuckled and said, “Since Miss Seo Jaein seems very upset, let’s just say I tormented you.”
Just say? Excuse me?
At Dohyuk’s seemingly innocent tone, Jaein felt a surge of anger.
I can’t just take this lying down.
Suddenly, Jaein lowered her head and said, “Team Leader, I’m sorry for tormenting you.”
“Huh?”
As Jaein obediently confessed, Dohyuk’s eyes widened.
Jaein spoke seriously, “There won’t be any more tormenting from now on. Absolutely!”
“Absolutely?”
“Team Leader looks really tired. I might have made things difficult for you just for my enjoyment.”
Dohyuk hastily sat up, saying, “No, I’m not tired at all!”
“Don’t overdo it. From now on, even if it’s hard, I’ll endure. A good night’s sleep is important.”
“No way!”
Ignoring Dohyuk’s longing voice, Jaein got up from her seat.
“Then get a good night’s sleep from tonight. Rest. Fully.”
As Jaein tried to leave, Dohyuk urgently grabbed her arm.
“I was wrong.”
Deep remorse filled his eyes.
Should have done that sooner.
Suppressing her laughter, Jaein bit her lips.
Only when she felt the injustice lift did the forgotten sound of the intercom ring in her ears again.
“It’s ringing again? Maybe it’s Director Kim.”
“There’s no way that’s possible……”
“I’ll go out, so Team Leader, get dressed first.”
Jaein smoothed her disheveled clothes and hair, then walked into the living room.
And the moment she checked the intercom screen, she was startled and took a step back.
The person standing in front of the front door right now is none other than.
“Chairman, hello. Happy New Year.”
It was Chairman Chae Dae-san, Dohyuk’s grandfather.
“To the young lady, do I look like someone who’s comfortably receiving New Year’s greetings right now?”
Chairman Chae replied with a blunt tone.
Jaein, with an uncomfortable expression, slightly bowed her head to the seated Chairman Chae.
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
Regardless of the reason, there was nothing to say about the fact that she had been very disrespectful to Chairman Chae last time.
“You shouldn’t have apologized in the first place.”
“Grandfather, please don’t make unnecessary trouble. Why did you come here?”
When Dohyuk asked with a stiff face, Chairman Chae smiled meaningfully.
“You asked me to watch over this young lady for a month, didn’t you?”
“…That’s right.”
A look of ‘What in the world is this?’ crossed Dohyuk’s face.
Jaein had already heard from Dohyuk during her journey from Gwangju.
He had promised to concentrate for a month to change Chairman Chae’s mind.
But now that she faced Chairman Chae, the only thought in her mind was to run away.
Reading Jaein’s complex emotions, Chairman Chae’s mouth curled up in a sky-high smile.
And then came the bombshell declaration.
“So, I came here to live for a month.”
“What did you say?”
“What?”
Oh my god!
Jaein and Dohyuk were so surprised that they stared at each other.
This was like a nuclear bomb-level shock, and Jaein’s legs felt weak.
“Grandfather, don’t say such unreasonable things! It’s not allowed!”
When Dohyuk snapped, Chairman Chae replied with a snort.
“You said I should experience why you like Miss Seo Jaein by myself, right? So, I came to experience it. Why? Do you have a problem with that?”
“I didn’t mean it that way.”
Dohyuk’s face showed an expression of ‘What kind of nonsense is this?’
Jaein, too, was overwhelmed with shock, her legs trembling.
“Grandfather, don’t say something like that! No way!”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
