No, why is the conversation heading in that direction?
As Do Hyuk’s words seemed to probe her heart, Jae In’s heartbeat began to quicken.
But hadn’t she made up her mind to vaguely notice his feelings yesterday and pretend not to know?
Jae In deliberately made a snorting sound and spoke.
“Oh, that’s the most unnecessary worry. Assistant Kang and I will never have any kind of relationship. Please don’t worry about it.”
“….”
“And if others find out about the contract between me and Assistant Kang, won’t it turn everything upside down? What if it affects Assistant Kang’s work for no reason?”
So please don’t cross that line under any circumstances.
“….”
“Wouldn’t it be better to avoid any actions that could be misunderstood?”
Jae In drew a firm line, filled with earnest desire.
Turning away from her gaze that had been fixed on him, Do Hyuk spoke.
“That’s true.”
With that, silence fell once again.
Jae In glanced at Do Hyuk sneakily through the monitor.
Do Hyuk was engrossed in his work as if he had never done anything else, as if asking when she had been distracted.
It was fortunate that he seemed to understand her words well.
Tap, tap. Thump. Tap.
Once again, the sound of keystrokes filled the space dryly.
But why did it feel empty?
Like when a roller coaster, which she had hoped would end quickly, finally came to a stop.
A sense of relief mixed with a feeling of disappointment, as if reluctant to disembark?
Jae In couldn’t easily take her eyes off Do Hyuk’s expressionless face.
“Snap out of it! I shouldn’t have ridden that roller coaster in the first place!”
It’s dangerous, things like that.
Jae In pounded the keyboard forcefully, hoping to clear her mind.
“Jae In, why don’t you stop now?”
Do Hyuk gently shook Jae In’s shoulder.
While Jae In went to the library to find some materials, she was sprawled on the dining table.
Do Hyuk looked down at Jae In, who was sleeping soundly like a baby, lost in thought.
“What if… What happens if we’re in that kind of relationship?”
“Oh, that’s the most unnecessary worry. Assistant Kang and I will never have any kind of relationship. Please don’t worry about it.”
Jae In’s expression as she said those words was so resolute that it made him feel a little uneasy.
“What on earth is the problem?”
Yesterday, when they had an unofficial date at the movie theater, regardless of how it started, the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Even when Jae In was flustered and her face turned red, she looked adorable.
Her behavior made him want to tease her even more.
But why did it feel like Jae In was constantly distancing herself?
Despite his efforts to consider her fears and try to turn her scared heart around, something seemed to be going awry.
The biggest problem was himself, crossing the line and getting angry when Jae In was with another man.
In hindsight, it was enough to make him feel selfloathing.
He had never lost his rational judgment and coldness in any situation.
“You’re making me like this. I will hold you responsible until the end, Jae In.”
Do Hyuk exhaled sharply and bowed his head.
Without any hesitation, he reached out and embraced Jae In with a familiar motion.
From the embrace, a sweet fragrance emanated from Jae In.
Huff.
Drawn to that scent, Do Hyuk found himself instinctively lowering his head near Jae In’s face.
At that moment, Jae In’s eyelashes trembled ever so slightly.
Do Hyuk was taken aback and lifted his head.
“…Jae In, are you awake?”
He waited for a moment, but there was no response.
“Well, if I had woken up, he would have jumped up and told me to put it down.”
With a smirk, Do Hyuk walked towards Jae In’s room.
Creak, creak. Creak, creak.
Creak, creak. Creak, creak.
“Phew, I almost got caught. Why is her room so far away? Living alone, the house is unnecessarily spacious!”
Jae In worried that Do Hyuk might notice that she was awake, so she held her breath and internally grumbled.
When Do Hyuk’s warm breath reached her face, she was so surprised that she almost opened her eyes.
“It was really dangerous. If this was going to happen, I should have listened to the team leader and just put it down.”
In fact, a little while ago, Jae In heard Do Hyuk waking her up.
Oh my, was I sleeping? She tried to sit up but couldn’t move at all.
No, there was no need to say that.
Jae In’s body was floating in the air like a feather.
“Ahh! Ahh!”
Jae In’s sleepiness vanished in an instant, but she was at a loss for words when she realized she was being held in Do Hyuk’s arms.
In that moment, she missed the timing to say anything and chose to pretend to be asleep.
“I thought you understood. What is this? Did the team leader also carry me and lay me down on the bed like this last time?”
She had guessed, but her face burned as she vividly experienced the incident she had been trying to cover up.
Whom should I blame? It was my fault for not being able to resist sleep and lying down.
But in the first place, Do Hyuk was responsible for keeping Jae In awake with his blanket kick.
How much time had passed?
