The piercing words from Yura made Jae In hold her breath.
Cold sweat ran down her spine.
As expected. Choi Yura is her rival.
But. I know your weakness.
Jae In spoke in a calm voice.
“Choi Yura, if you keep saying strange things, I’ll throw away the gift box for Hobang.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a soft voice, unlike any she had ever heard before, came from the other end of the phone.
Alright, alright! Jae In, you’re so impatient.
“I’m telling you, if you keep doubting your friend like that, I won’t be able to use it, you!”
Fine, I got it. I’ll believe you. Who else should I trust if I don’t trust my friend? I love you, my friend!
“You should have said that earlier.”
Although it wasn’t Yura, who was good at getting a response, she let it go for now.
But is Kang Na Hee really okay?
“Yeah. She said it’s nothing special after experiencing it.”
Really? She worked herself to death.
Really? It’s only been a few days since we started living together.
“Fourth day?”
No way! A man and a woman living together under the same roof for a day and nothing happened?
“Yeah, it’s natural since we don’t like each other.”
It was just a continuation of work.
She couldn’t say it bluntly, this.
Hmm. By any chance, is that guy not attractive but has some significant flaws? In that direction.
“What direction? What are you talking about?”
Jae In blinked her eyes because she didn’t understand English.
Soon, Yura’s sarcastic voice flowed out.
Forget it. Let’s stop talking. Hold on to your virginity and see what I have to say.
“What do you mean by ‘that direction’? Hey, if you made me curious, you should take responsibility.”
Forget it. Is that guy not very attractive?
Jae In remembered the appearance of Do Hyuk she saw during last night’s walk.
Disheveled hair in the wind,
And slightly visible innocent young eyes,
The solid build that stylishly pulled off the brown long coat…
Thinking about Do Hyuk, who momentarily mistook the walking path for a runway, her heart fluttered.
“…No, that can’t be. He must have some charm.”
Then, does Kang Na Hee have no charm at all?
“That’s not true either! She oozes charm more than you think. She’s just hiding it tightly.”
So, sadly, no one knows.
…
Suddenly, Yura fell silent. It was eerie.
Did I say it too obvious?
Jae In held her breath, feeling pricked by guilt.
After a while, Yura spoke up.
Hmm, that’s strange. Has the guy suddenly changed or done something noticeable? Like suddenly being nice to you.
“Oh, come to think of it, he has been a bit gentler lately…”
Tell me specifically.
“Well, he speaks more kindly, buys delicious things, and when it’s cold, he even takes off his coat for me…”
Wait, he takes off his coat?
Yura’s shocked voice was so loud that it hurt her ears.
“Yeah, so what?”
Hey, then it’s just a matter of time!
“What do you mean?”
The two of you igniting. Something’s about to happen, it’s gonna happen.
“Why?”
Anyone can buy food for someone, but not everyone would take off their coat. Clearly, the guy is interested in Kang Na Hee.
“So? If someone is cold, wouldn’t they take off their coat?”
She really doesn’t know anything. Think about it. In this freezing winter, would any guy just casually take off his coat for a girl he’s not interested in? Are men some kind of thermoregulating animals? Generally, men would never make such reckless investments in someone they’re not interested in.
“Well, but… That guy is quite unconventional…”
You don’t know Cha Do Hyuk, so you’re saying that.
Then it’s even more certain! He’s treating her specially because of that girl.
“Is that so?”
Yes.
Yura firmly nailed it.
“Oh, so that’s what it was…”
Caught off guard by the sudden realization, Jae In blinked her eyes with a dazed expression.
“Oh my, it’s already past midnight. Jae In, let’s meet tomorrow then.”
“Uhhuh.”
By the way, make yourself look nice tomorrow. Absolutely! Hang up!
…!
Click.
The call ended before she could even respond.
“What does it mean to look nice? It’s the weekend, I should go out comfortably. I hope the contract ends soon so I can vent to Yura and get it off my chest.”
Jae In groaned and sprawled on the bed.
These past few days had been exhausting.
She tried to organize her jumbled thoughts one by one.
As she carefully reviewed everything, she realized that Do Hyuk’s behavior had been a bit strange lately.
Suddenly taking her to expensive restaurants,
Showing up at the company cafeteria,
Constantly staring at her intently,
Even taking off his coat when she said she was cold…
If it was true, as Yura said, that he had an interest in her?
In an instant, a flicker of excitement lit up Jae In’s face.
“No, absolutely not! Who would constantly say things to a woman they’re interested in and overwhelm her with work?”
She said it out loud, as if making a promise to herself.
“He even orders me around when we’re together! Always suspicious, yelling at me not to meet anyone!”
Unleashing everything that had built up inside, Jae In grew even more furious.
