“I just saw the joy on your face.”
Seungwon’s tone remained calm, as usual, without any fluctuations. However, Dahee sensed a sharp energy hidden in his eyes.
“Why are you saying that? Hyeju went through something like that, what could make me happy?”
Dahee tried various words to shift Seungwon’s attention, as he seemed lost in his thoughts throughout dinner. But in the end, it was the three letters of Oh Hyeju that caught Seungwon’s attention once again.
Seungwon himself might not have realized it, but it was clear in Dahee’s eyes. A slight sense of discomfort crept into her chest.
“As I listen, it feels a bit hurtful. Do I seem like someone who finds joy in a friend’s misfortune?”
“I didn’t mean it that way.”
“Tsk.”
Dahee pouted, pushing her lips out.
Normally, Seungwon would have immediately apologized while caressing her cheek, but somehow, he remained silent. It was when Dahee nervously nibbled on her fingernails in unbearable anxiety.
“Dahee, it’s our couple ring.”
“Yeah! Did you see the link I sent?”
Dahee’s expression changed as she heard the words from Seungwon’s mouth. They had talked several times before about getting couple rings, but now she finally received an answer.
“Have you decided where to buy it? The first shop seems to be the best, right?”
“I think it’s better if we don’t match for a while.”
“Why?”
Her heart sank. Seungwon looked down and answered.
“If we wear them at work, rumors will spread. We’re already involved in many businesses together, so it’s better not to give people any unnecessary gossip.”
“What kind of gossip would there be? Is it a bad thing for an unmarried man and woman to date when they’re interested in each other?”
“It’s not a bad thing. It’s just that it’s not the right time yet. We haven’t been dating for long, and also…”
“Is it not the right time, or is it because of me that it’s not possible?”
Dahee squeezed out the words, her voice tight.
She already knew the answer. And she also knew that she wouldn’t hear sincerity from Seungwon’s lips.
What could I expect from a fool who hasn’t looked into my heart for ten years?
Nothing had changed.
“Hug me.”
As Seungwon remained silent, Dahee, like a squirrel, buried herself in his arms.
“Okay.”
As always, Seungwon reached out his arms and patted her back. But there was no warmth left in his touch.
“Still… you don’t push me away. You still care about me. Right? Right, Seungwon?”
Suppressing her rising sadness, Dahee fiddled with the ring in her pocket.
It was the ring she had shown Hyeju, calling it a couple ring. She deceived Hyeju, but she didn’t feel sorry.
“You being like this only makes me more poisonous.”
Biting her lip in Seungwon’s embrace, where his pats lacked sincerity, Dahee muttered.
The sensation of metal in her pocket felt cold.
A few days passed.
During that time, Hyeju managed to smoothly go about her work without running into Juwon.
Of course, she didn’t intentionally avoid him either. After the incident with the sweater, Hyeju felt extremely awkward about meeting Juwon.
It wasn’t because she felt unjust for paying a high price for the clothes, or because she felt the money was wasted. It was because every time she had a chance, she couldn’t help but think of his welldefined abs that she had seen in the CEO’s office.
“It’s a timing that requires some spiritual cultivation.”
It’s not a big deal in life to just glance at it, but I don’t understand why it keeps lingering. Hyeju considered it purely a problem with her mental state.
It’s been a long time since she took a break from dating. Moreover, recently, she had put an end to her intense crush. So it’s being captivated by a man’s body.
“He did look like a sculpture…”
With a shake of her head, she tried to push away the image of the sixpack abs that had cracked open in her mind. The body with curving muscles that seemed to flow with droplets of water. She never thought she would enjoy Hosa unintentionally.
“No! Hosa, what’s that! It’s an eye terror, an eye terror!”
Waving her hand, Hyeju lowered her gaze to the monitor.
On the monitor, the report she was currently working on was open. It was a seafood company that recently contacted her, expressing their interest in trends in the industry, customer preferences, and other market research.
The company, named “Taeyang Food,” was a smallscale enterprise that primarily sold seasoned seaweed and had received recognition from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries for its export achievements. Starting as a family business, it had grown into a lucrative company with an annual revenue of 100 billion KRW.
DataS Korea was a typical B2B company. Businesses would commission DataS Korea for research, where they would utilize their own analysis modules to derive the results the clients needed.
If the marketing department analyzed the needs of each company and devised stimulating plans based on them, the business team would be responsible for breaking through and establishing new business partnerships based on those plans.
