When Ju Won saw Hye Ju standing still in front of the office, he felt relieved.
“Are you folding paper or is your heart folding stiffly? Well, whatever, I’ll accept it. No need to worry unnecessarily.”
His lips dried up as he kept repeating the words he had prepared for his confession. Ju Won had been simulating the situation in the elevator the whole time, and when the door opened, his heart raced at the sight of Hye Ju’s back.
“Oh Hye…!”
However, he had no choice but to stop before taking a step forward. Her figure standing in the dim hallway was strange to anyone who saw it.
Even though he couldn’t see her face, the confusion was evident from her back. Her shoulders, not even moving as if she couldn’t breathe properly.
“What is she doing over there?”
Ju Won glanced over Hye Ju’s shoulder.
“!”
The moment he saw the silhouettes of two people entangled inside the office, a chill ran down his spine.
Well, witnessing his younger brother’s loveydovey display wasn’t exactly pleasant, but it wasn’t that difficult to bear. The problem was the emotions he felt from Hye Ju’s back as she watched that scene.
It was hard to describe. It was more than just being startled by an unpleasant sight. It felt like waves of deep and intense emotions were emanating from her.
She stood there frozen, as if she were the one witnessing a scene she never wanted to see. Yet, she couldn’t take her eyes off it and continued to stare endlessly.
In that place where those unstable emotions reached, Seung Won was present.
At first, he didn’t quite understand what was going on. If he had witnessed his close friends fooling around in the office, it would be normal to pretend not to notice or openly tease them. It wasn’t a situation where one would just stand there with such a serious expression.
“But… why are you crying over there?”
At the moment when a faint trembling was felt from Hye Ju’s shoulders as she took a breath, the puzzle that had been wandering in her mind found its place as if it were a lie.
With a cold sinking feeling in his mind, past events came to mind.
“That was a gift for Seung Won. 10 years ago, he was the one who was supposed to give me that Pepero.”
Hye Ju had clearly said that back then.
“Not that one, but Kang Seung Won. Did you understand?”
The one who didn’t believe it was Ju Won himself.
On a day in the past when she handed over the Pepero with a trembling hand, and the moment they met again right after returning home.
She thought that the confession song that had been playing loudly was undoubtedly for her. She found relief in Hye Ju’s words, who said she “liked” the CEO but not anymore, and she believed it while occasionally seeing the wavering in her eyes.
Oh Hye Ju likes me.
“…Was it really Seung Won?”
Numerous things that had seemed strange all came together like beads. The way she quickly gave up despite saying she liked him, the way she pretended not to know even when given a clear opportunity, only now did he understand.
“Ha…”
Ju Won pressed his throbbing forehead with his hand.
In his heart, he wanted to turn around and go back just like that. But his feet didn’t move.
She’s there. She looks endlessly fragile.
Ju Won forcefully grabbed his tie as he watched her struggling to breathe.
“Oh Hye Ju, stop zoning out unnecessarily again.”
Approaching her with firm steps, Ju Won covered Hye Ju’s eyes with his hands.
“Why are you staring at me like that? It’s annoying.”
I wish you hadn’t seen it.
While saying that, why is your face so wounded? Why?
“CEO…?”
Don’t look.
Don’t look at that. Hye Ju.
“Come out.”
Ju Won couldn’t hold back his surging emotions and pulled Hye Ju’s hand out just like that. It felt like his heart was about to burst from the damp tears that could be felt at the tips of his fingers. Something hot and intense surged from his chest, beyond what could be expressed as anger.
“Let go of me. Where are you going…!”
“Stop talking and follow me.”
As the elevator arrived at the lobby, Ju Won didn’t say a word and only looked at the display. Hye Ju, who had been struggling to free her hand, eventually fell silent, as if giving up.
It wasn’t until they completely left the building that Ju Won finally let go of Hye Ju’s hand. Hye Ju, who had calmed down by then, looked up at Ju Won with her reddened eyes.
“Why? I have to go to the office and work. Why did you drag me out like this?”
“What can you do with that state of mind?”
“What’s wrong with my state of mind? I’m perfectly fine.”
The words “perfectly fine” came out despite the topic being as rigid as a stone just a moment ago.
Ju Won’s anger welled up.
But there was no reason to be angry because Hye Ju’s expression, as she actually said those words, was unexpectedly blank. Not just blank, Hye Ju even caught the hint of Ju Won’s rough breathing with her angry eyes.
“You saw it too, didn’t you?”
“Huh.”
Hye Ju briefly organized her thoughts and then let out a dry laugh.
