So Gwinyeo preferred to send Dahee away as much as possible. However, looking at Dahee, who stubbornly kept her lips tightly closed, it seemed she wouldn’t give up easily.
“Looking at the fortune to make a choice is not a good method. It’s right to go in the direction you think is right.”
“Why do you think I came all the way here just to hear such nonsense? Instead of lectures, can’t you just read the fortune?”
“Dahee.”
“If you’re not going to do it, I won’t see Mom’s face again! You’ve never done anything for me until now; can’t you do this one thing?”
With things coming to this point, there was no other choice. Gwinyeo sighed briefly and stood up from her seat.
“Follow me.”
[Star Icon]On the way back home.
Dahee leaned her head against the train window and absentmindedly stared outside.
“Is there good marriage luck coming in this year?”
Gwinyeo’s fortune-telling brought a huge shock.
It turned out that there was marriage luck in Dahee’s future!
“It’s absurd. I’m not even on good terms with Seungwon right now, how can we get married…”
If the thread of fate had completely disappeared, she would have rather quit the company and left. However, the result vividly revealed in Gwinyeo’s fortune was the opposite.
Gwinyeo was a shaman known for her flexibility, a politician, and a lover. She was sought after even in Seoul. If Dahee hadn’t seen the fortune, she might not have believed it, but after seeing it, there was no way not to.
“Am I really going to marry Seungwon? Seriously?”
Feeling flustered, a bud of hope sprouted.
“Yeah, Hyewon and Seungwon are completely finished. It’s not right to keep liking the child who is dating her own brother. Besides, the child who is already lonely can’t be in her right mind now, right? Just look at her, drinking and wandering around every day.”
There were enough gaps.
Just a while ago, Seungwon embraced Dahee in a state of intoxication. Emptiness calls for alcohol, alcohol calls for loneliness, and loneliness calls for seeking old love.
If she took advantage of that gap, there were plenty of chances.
“Yeah, we can go back to the way things were. I will definitely make it happen.”
In Dahee’s eyes, which calmly organized her thoughts, vitality returned after a long time.
She placed the laptop she had brought on her lap and began to write an email.
It was a rejection email, stating that due to circumstances, she might not be able to join the company.
[Star Icon]After work, Hyewon packed a few clothes and cosmetics and headed to Juwon’s house.
[Dash]Let’s sleep together for a week. I want to check if Oh Hyewon is really my talisman.Juwon said with a lot of apologies.
It wouldn’t be easy to ask her to come in, carrying luggage, especially when they had only been dating for a short time.
Unless it was a situation so serious that a person’s life was at stake, such a request wouldn’t have been made.
Of course, Hyewon also felt a bit burdened. Sleeping together in his house, apart from her feelings of liking him, was a difficult problem.
The fact that an unmarried man and woman lived together was an issue that could easily spread among others!
If Juwon were an ordinary employee, it might have been different, but he was the CEO of a company. Being a well-known figure made it easier for people to gossip and recognize him.
“Sigh, what can I do? I’m just going to save a life. What am I going to do with this sense of duty?”
Telling herself that there were no personal desires involved in this cohabitation, Hyewon walked with a carefree stride.
When she arrived home, Juwon was cooking. With his sleeves rolled up, he was skillfully making sujebi (hand-pulled dough soup) and kimchi pancakes. Hyewon stared at him in amazement.
“What are you making?”
“I’m making sujebi and kimchi pancakes. It’s something you like.”
“Wow, my drinking snack!”
It was a menu that was already tempting due to the humid weather. It was amazing how he precisely hit her taste like that.
“He said we should eat sujebi on a rainy day.”
He was grateful for remembering a casual comment from the past and preparing exactly as she liked.
“Where shall we eat?”
Just to check, she opened the refrigerator and found five bottles of soju lined up neatly, Hyewon’s favorite.
“As expected, he has a sense.”
Hyewon set her chopsticks, salivating.
“I’ll enjoy this!”
“Eat a lot.”
The dish that Juwon prepared was delicious. Although she had heard that he knew basic cooking from studying abroad for a long time, this was not basic; it was overwhelming.
The hand-pulled dough soup was chewy, the kimchi pancake was crispy, and the seasoning was just right. The red pepper soy sauce prepared for dipping the kimchi pancake had a flavor deeper than many other dishes.
“Wow, it’s really delicious. How did you make this soy sauce? It’s spicy, sweet, and absolutely delicious.”
“It’s a trade secret.”
“Tsk.”
“Since you can only eat it at my place, if you want to eat it, you should live here.”
“Well, should I give in to such soy sauce?”
Hyewon refilled the soy sauce with a confident attitude.
In less than ten minutes, half of the food on the table disappeared. After satisfying her somewhat full stomach, Hyewon looked at Juwon to see if she had eaten too hastily.
“Oh, did I eat too quickly? What if I looked like someone who hadn’t eaten for days?”
Distracted by the taste, she had shoveled the food into her mouth, and unlike herself, Juwon was eating slowly, chewing the food deliberately.
His calm enjoyment of the taste was, how should one put it, aristocratic.
Even when he put down his utensils, there was almost no sound, and even the sound of chewing was barely audible. Even the slurping of the noodle soup was refined.
Hyewon’s eyes, observing his elegant table manners for a moment, fell on his lips. The sight of his untouched red lips moving slowly brought back the intense memories from yesterday.
He’s just eating, but why am I thinking about what he did yesterday with those lips?
“Come to think of it, what should we do today? Should we just sleep together? Or should we do the same as yesterday… do we have to?”
Just thinking about it made her cheeks flush. The fiery sensation ignited in the hidden places where his lips had touched.
Thunk!
Lost in her thoughts, Hyewon was snapped back to reality by Juwon flicking his fingers in front of her nose.
“Oh Hyewon, what are you thinking?”
“Well, that’s…”
As Hyewon hesitated, Juwon’s gaze narrowed.
One could roughly imagine what kind of absurd thoughts were going through her small head. Annoyingly, Juwon wanted to hear it directly from her mouth.
“Instead of aimlessly thinking on your own and stumbling in vain, ask me directly.”
As if ready to hear it, he clenched his fist.
In a voice that sounded like she was speaking and also hesitant, Hyewon murmured,
“Today, should we… just sleep?”
Having spat it out, she quickly added as if it was too explicit.
“I mean, what I’m saying is, it’s not like I want to do anything with you. Definitely not, really. Just holding hands and sleeping, wondering if it would be comfortable for you.”
“Why worry about unnecessary things?”
Juwon’s mouth lifted slightly.
“Just holding hands and sleeping, without any particular thoughts.”
Juwon leaned toward Hyewon.
“I’ll hold your hand.”
The fingers, which had slid up like slipping over the back of Hyewon’s hand still holding chopsticks, lightly touched her lips as if licking them.
“While kissing.”
