‘Ah, that’s right!’
It was only when Jae In finally drank water that she remembered she had absentmindedly left her mobile phone next to the water purifier.
She had completely forgotten about it while jumping in surprise at the sight of Do Hyuk in his shower robe.
‘What should I do? If I go out now, I might run into the team leader…’
Just the thought of seeing Do Hyuk again made her face flush.
‘The team leader probably knows that I left my phone behind… If I keep it there, he’ll probably think I’m conscious of him, right?’
Although it was true, Jae In didn’t want to admit it.
‘Wait. Is he coming to bring it to me personally? No way!’
A situation where she couldn’t leave or stay.
The bell continued to ring relentlessly, oblivious to Jae In’s burning impatience.
‘Who on earth is calling at this late hour? If I don’t answer, they’ll probably take the hint and hang up. Such a bother.’
At that moment, as if redirecting the arrow of resentment back to the caller, the ringing suddenly stopped.
Surprisingly.
“Phew, thank goodness. Now, if I just hear the sound of the team leader entering, I can go to the kitchen and fetch it.”
Rrrrrrr. Rrrrrrr.
However, as if mocking Jae In’s thoughts, the bell rang again cheerfully.
“Who the hell is calling at this hour!”
Jae In erupted in anger and abruptly stood up from her seat.
She would find out who it was and teach them phone etiquette!
“Yeah, I haven’t done anything wrong, and there’s no reason to avoid it! Who cares, I’ll take another look at the team leader’s legs, so what!”
What’s the big deal?
With her determination solidified, Jae In opened the door and went outside.
But…
The closer she got to the kitchen, the more she found herself hunching over, walking stealthily, and holding her breath.
The confident momentum had disappeared like bubbles a long time ago.
With a nervous heart, Jae In entered the kitchen and was dumbfounded.
Of course, her mobile phone, which she thought would be next to the water purifier, was nowhere to be found, and neither was Do Hyuk.
“Where on earth did I put it? I need to go inside quickly before I run into the team leader…”
Jae In anxiously scanned her surroundings with her eyes.
“Is this it?”
Suddenly, a chilling voice struck her from behind.
As a result, Jae In also felt a chill running down her spine.
When she turned around, Do Hyuk, still in his shower robe, was staring down at her with a displeased expression, holding her mobile phone in one hand.
On the still ringing screen of her mobile phone, there was an unexpected name displayed.
[Namin Woo]“Namin Woo calling at this hour? Was he the one who called earlier and hung up?”
It was the first time that thoughtful Namin Woo had made a latenight phone call.
And he had called twice.
Something urgent must have happened.
“Team leader, please give me my phone back!”
Jae In hurriedly reached out to grab her mobile phone, but Do Hyuk swiftly raised his hand, causing her to miss.
“Team leader, stop playing around!”
Perplexed, Jae In paid no attention, while Do Hyuk, suppressing his last bit of patience, struggled to utter each word.
“Why would Namin Woo, the team leader of Product Planning 2, be calling Seo Jae In from Product Planning 1, in the middle of the night?”
To make a call like this, as if to a lover!
Namin Woo’s call had pressed the explosive button hidden deep inside Do Hyuk’s heart.
He had been trying hard to suppress his jealousy and not show any pathetic behavior of losing his composure.
“Is something urgent? Please tell me!”
Jae In reached out for her mobile phone, shouting anxiously.
She was worried that there might be some problem between Min Woo and Seo Yeon.
Most of the time when Min Woo called Jae In, it was because there was an issue with Seo Yeon.
“I don’t want to.”
Dodging Jae In’s hand, Do Hyuk quickly grabbed the mobile phone with his other hand.
“Oh, Team Leader! Stop playing around!”
Jae In was taken aback by Do Hyuk’s childish behavior, which she had never seen before.
“It’s my phone! Why do you have it when you don’t own it?”
Jae In tried to grab the mobile phone from Do Hyuk’s hand by jumping up and down in place.
But with a height difference of almost 30 centimeters, it was a reckless challenge from the beginning.
Do Hyuk asked in a rough voice.
“Have you been in contact with Namin Woo like this all along?”
“No! And what does it have to do with the team leader?”
“What does it have to do?”
Veins on Do Hyuk’s temple suddenly bulged.
“Oh, come on! Give it here!”
Summoning all her remaining strength, Jae In jumped up with all her might.
And finally, she managed to get the mobile phone in her grasp.
But her moment of joy was shortlived.
Do Hyuk pulled his hand, holding the mobile phone, back.
“Uh? Uh… What?!”
As a result, Jae In lost her balance and her weight shifted forward.
Towards Do Hyuk’s body, to be precise.
Thud.
A loud noise echoed throughout the living room.
After a while, Jae In’s tightly closed eyelids gently opened.
