“Yeah, the preparations are all done. Now, it’s time for the real deal.”
“That’s great! Both of you will live happily together when you get married.”
“Thanks. Jae In, Seo Yeon mentioned meeting up together sometime. She said we should squeeze in some time before getting married, and you’re the key player between us.”
“I heard about it during our last conversation. Gyu Min can join us then.”
“Yeah. But Jae In, do you happen to have someone you’re meeting?”
Min Woo asked with a smirk.
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, Jae In was at a loss for words.
What was even more bewildering was that as soon as she heard Min Woo’s question, Do Hyuk’s face immediately came to mind.
“Is it because I’ve been spending too much time with the team leader? Yeah, I keep seeing him, so it’s stuck in my mind.”
Jae In said while clapping her hands.
“No, I don’t have anyone. I’m always engrossed in work, that’s all.”
“I don’t understand why you’re always alone. It seems like everyone’s eyes have changed.”
“Well, it’s because the seniors look favorably upon me.”
“Jae In, that’s why I wanted to talk to you….”
Min Woo kept hesitating, as if unsure of what he wanted to say.
“Why, senior?”
When there was no response after being called, Jae In asked back.
Finally, unexpected words came out of Min Woo’s mouth.
“…How about Gyu Min?”
“What?”
Oops, it’s getting hot!
Jae In was startled and accidentally burned her tongue on her tea.
“Senior, why are you suddenly saying that?”
“That guy was fine back then, but when I met him again after a long time, he looked even better. I could sense his interest in you when we talked last time.”
“…!”
Even Senior Min Woo felt that way.
Jae In couldn’t deny anymore that Gyu Min had feelings for her.
“I’ve never thought of Gyu Min as anything more than a friend.”
“Seo Yeon and I were friends at first too. I’m just suggesting that you consider it since he’s a good guy. What do you think?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Seo Yeon also strongly approves of you two together.”
No wonder. When I spoke to Seo Yeon unni last time, she praised Gyu Min a lot.
Feeling embarrassed, Jae In awkwardly smiled and said,
“Senior, I’m going to Japan soon. Who should I meet there?”
“You’re not going to live there forever. If you’re determined, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Japan or elsewhere.”
“It’s okay. I’m overwhelmed just studying.”
When Jae In spoke firmly, Min Woo smiled coolly and took a step back.
“Well, studying abroad is a challenging endeavor that requires the money you’ve saved up. Sorry. I brought up something unnecessary because Gyu Min is such a good guy.”
“No, it’s okay. I thought about it, so it’s nothing. Anyway, I plan to focus on studying for the time being.”
Focusing only on studying?
He’s really persistent.
Even when she said those words, Cha Do Hyuk came to mind.
Jae In found herself bewildered by her own thoughts.
“Seo Jae In, can’t you get your act together?”
“Seo Team Leader, did you have a good time with our team leader?”
As Jae In entered the office, Na Hee smiled widely and asked.
“What do you mean by a good time? We just had a brief conversation.”
“Oh, I see. The two of you seemed to get along so well in the picture, so I was curious.”
Na Hee’s face had a meaningful smile.
What kind of delusion is she having?
She doesn’t seem to be doing any work. It would be nice if she went home.
Jae In tilted her head and glanced at the team leader’s office.
It was 8 o’clock.
With Na Hee in such a suspicious state, it seemed too late to go out for dinner with the team leader.
In Jae In’s frustrated hands were two sandwiches.
Do Hyuk felt burdened, wanting to buy a sandwich, but it was obvious that Na Hee would find it strange if he only gave it to Do Hyuk, so he ended up buying enough for Na Hee as well.
Jae In handed Na Hee a sandwich with the intention of giving her a piece of the unpleasant guy.
“It’s already past dinner time. Kang Team Leader, have this.”
“What’s the matter with Seo Team Leader? Anyway, since you’re giving it to me, I’ll eat it well.”
Can’t she just say thank you when it’s given to her?
You can’t hold everyone’s hand and teach them everything.
Jae In regretted her unnecessary concern and headed towards the team leader’s office.
Knock, knock.
Jae In knocked and entered the team leader’s office.
Do Hyuk was engrossed in documents, not even lifting his head, wearing a serious expression.
“What is it?”
The words that escaped his mouth were like shards of ice, flying through the air with a chilling voice.
It was a complete contrast to Do Hyuk, who had suggested having dinner in the break room earlier.
Seeing Do Hyuk still engrossed in the documents, Jae In was secretly taken aback.
“Team Leader, what about dinner? Kang Deputy is also outside… I guess it won’t work today, right?”
It’s obvious that Na Hee will find it strange if both of them disappear.
Jae In somehow sensed Na Hee’s intentions.
It’s not like they’re secretly dating in the office.
However, Do Hyuk, whom she naturally expected to respond by saying they should have dinner next time, unexpectedly uttered unexpected words in a cold voice.
“As you can see, I’m a bit busy right now. Since we were going to talk about work anyway, let’s have a meeting in the conference room tomorrow morning.”
“What? Oh, I’m sorry. I disturbed you while you’re busy.”
Why are you so surprised?
Wasn’t the original intention to talk about work?
Jae In wanted her unnecessary excitement and worries to disappear as they were, like a burst of heat.
But…
In her hand was a sandwich searching for its owner.
Jae In gently placed the sandwich on Do Hyuk’s desk.
“Team Leader, have this.”
Finally, Do Hyuk lifted his head and looked at Jae In.
“What’s this?”
“Since you couldn’t even have dinner, I thought you might be hungry. I also had some leftovers from the last time you bought them….”
For a moment, Do Hyuk stared at Jae In with a stiff face and spoke without touching the sandwich.
“It’s okay. I don’t have an appetite.”
“What? Oh….”
Feeling crestfallen, Jae In picked up the sandwich.
‘After thinking about it… how thoughtless.’
With a bitter feeling, Do Hyuk asked her.
“Is this the sandwich they sell at the café on the first floor? Did you leave and go there?”
“Oh, well….”
Judging by Do Hyuk’s question, he didn’t realize that she went out with Min Woo.
‘He’s not the type to stay still if he knows. He even snapped at me not to meet privately.’
Do Hyuk had suspected Min Woo before, as he was receiving favor from Director Choi Young Do.
Although Jae In had earnestly explained that Min Woo wasn’t a spy.
Jae In couldn’t openly answer because she was worried that Min Woo might be harmed in any way.
Above all, she didn’t want to bother Do Hyuk with something insignificant.
“I went to get coffee because I was sleepy. Look, I’m still yawning. While I was at it, I bought a sandwich because I was hungry.”
Jae In pretended to yawn and offered a plausible excuse.
Upon hearing that, Do Hyuk stared at her with narrowed eyes and asked.
“Alone?”
