“Why?”
He wasn’t home. I waited for hours, but he didn’t come back, so I just came here. Actually, I went to see him today too, but couldn’t meet him. Where on earth did he go?
Yura’s voice was filled with disappointment.
“Well, that’s a relief! It’s not meant to be. Let’s just give up now.”
Is that really the case?
“Of course. Even if we start dating, it will end quickly, right?”
Yeah, you’re right.
Suddenly, Yura spoke in a determined voice.
If it’s going to end quickly anyway, it’s okay to give it a try, right?
Wow! Wow!
How did she come to that conclusion?
You’re truly surprising, Choi Yura.
“What’s okay? Nothing is okay!”
Oh, my, it’s already past 11 o’clock? I have to go to work early, so I should go to bed soon. Thank you, Jae In!
“What? Hey, don’t hang up!”
Click.
Yura only said what she had to say and hung up the phone.
Jae In was deeply worried about Yura.
If she hadn’t asked Yura to pick up the package in the first place, none of this would have happened.
“Is it my fault…?”
…
…
How much time has passed?
Jae In, who had fallen into a deep sleep on the bed, woke up groggily.
The room was as quiet as a mouse.
There was no sound coming from the bathroom either.
“Oh? Team Leader, are you done showering?”
Jae In suddenly felt a strong thirst and went to the kitchen.
She desperately wished for a refreshing beer, but knowing that the refrigerator only contained ingredients, she thought of settling for cold water.
Just as Jae In was standing in front of the water purifier, about to drink a cup of water, it happened.
Click.
She heard the sound of a bottle cap being opened from behind.
Without thinking, Jae In turned around and let out a scream.
“Kyaaaah!”
There, standing next to the dining table, Do Hyuk was drinking beer.
Wearing only a shower gown.
Jae In quickly covered her eyes and turned around.
“TTeam Leader, what are you doing without even putting on clothes!”
“I forgot to bring my clothes.”
Ah, so that’s what happened…
No way!
Jae In was taken aback by Do Hyuk’s calm tone.
“Are you seriously saying that now?”
“Seo Jae In, don’t you think you’re overreacting?”
“Me?”
As Jae In flared up, Do Hyuk’s eyebrow twitched.
“Think about it. A shower gown is a proper attire to wear after taking a shower, right?”
“…Yes.”
“I just wore it out of habit. Besides, I didn’t have any other options since I don’t have any clothes.”
Of course, that’s how it should have been.
“And the only part of my body exposed outside the shower gown is below the knees. Isn’t it the same as wearing shorts?”
That’s true.
Do Hyuk’s words had a strange persuasiveness.
However, there was an issue that couldn’t be overlooked.
And that was…
The fact that there was nothing underneath.
“I almost overlooked that!”
Jae In frowned and retorted to Do Hyuk’s words.
“But still, it’s awkward for a man and a woman to be like this.”
“It seems that even in your eyes, I appear as a man, Seo Jae In.”
Phew.
A light laughter followed.
Jae In regained her composure and challenged Do Hyuk’s words again.
“But, Team Leader, you are a man, right? Not a woman?”
“Yes, I am a man.”
His low voice tickled Jae In’s ear.
“But sometimes it seems like you forget that, Seo Jae In.”
What does that mean?
Jae In slowly turned her head, and with a startle, took a step back.
Do Hyuk’s face was right in front of her.
Jae In glimpsed his deep eyes shining through the wet strands of hair.
In an instant, her heart sank, and then it started racing like crazy.
Do Hyuk, who was staring at Jae In’s trembling eyes without any plan, raised the corner of his mouth.
Then, he straightened his previously bent waist and looked down at Jae In.
“Are you going to keep acting like this?”
“……Yes?”
“Seo Jae In, you haven’t taken a shower, have you? It’s quite late.”
“……!”
Jae In’s eyes turned into fists.
Whether others shower or not.
It’s the first time I’ve felt our pure word “shower” so ambiguously.
Jae In’s embarrassed face turned red and blue.
“Well, forget it! I’ll go in first!”
Jae In bowed slightly and went straight into her room.
Do Hyuk burst into laughter watching her rush away.
As soon as she entered the room, Jae In collapsed facefirst onto the bed.
Feeling embarrassed for no reason, she tightly closed her eyes.
Then, as if it was a promise, the image of Do Hyuk wearing a shower gown came vividly to her mind.
Moist and delicate facial features.
Shoulders gracefully exposed beneath the shower gown.
A faint, youthful smile on his lips.
“I’ve seen him so much in such a short moment.”
The more she tried to erase it, the more it kept flashing in front of her eyes.
“Why is this happening? Am I going crazy?”
It was just a glimpse of Do Hyuk after he finished showering.
But compared to burying her face in his neck and embracing him, her heart pounded as if there was no comparison.
To a dangerous extent.
Jae In blinked and shook her head vigorously.
“Let’s stop thinking about it! Let’s not pay attention!”
Temporarily setting aside selfreproach.
Jae In recalled Do Hyuk’s words from earlier.
“He’s right, you’re a man. But sometimes you seem to forget, Seo Jae In.”
His low voice that had reached her ears replayed, and a shudder started from her nape and spread throughout her body.
It was a strange feeling she had never experienced before.
“When does the cold wind blow fiercely? Unpredictable! It does whatever it wants!”
She didn’t know the rhythm to dance to.
Jae In vigorously rubbed her innocent ears, as if trying to erase Do Hyuk’s breath that had touched her skin.
“What did I forget? Then when were you ever a woman?”
She deliberately grumbled, raising her voice even more.
“Why should I listen to you about taking a shower? When did you start caring?”
“Since it’s late, shower and rest.”
Can’t you just take it as a pure meaning?
You’re being mischievous, Seo Jae In!
“It’s fine, really. But even if it’s your own house, you shouldn’t just wear a shower gown when you have a guest!”
You forgot, didn’t you?
And why would you imagine something when you can only see my knees?
Oh no! It popped up in my mind again.
Jae In’s face turned as red as a burning flame.
“Stop it, just stop it! Seo Jae In, why do you keep siding with the team leader? Ahh, my head hurts, let’s not think about it for real!”
Despite her firm determination, the image of Do Hyuk wearing a shower gown endlessly lingered in Jae In’s mind.
When Jae In was tormented, not knowing what to do, the cheerful sound of a ringing cellphone spread throughout the room.
“Who could it be at this hour? Does Yura have something left to say?”
Jae In stood up from her seat and searched for her cellphone.
She looked around the room multiple times, but it wasn’t visible.
There was nothing on the bedside table or the vanity table where it always used to be.
“Where did it go? I had it in my hand even after hanging up with Yura…”
Jae In listened attentively to the sound.
The ringing was clearly coming from outside the room, not inside.
