But she couldn’t say that outright.
“You really are unlucky.”
[Yeah, I missed you too.]Responding to the absurd words with an equally absurd reply, Sajun even sent a hand heart to Taehee.
Although a bit far, the heart made by overlapping the thumb and forefinger was unmistakable.
With nothing to say to that heart, Taehee remained silent, and Sajun, with a laughter-filled voice, said,
[I won’t take up much of your time, so come down for a moment.]Ending the call, Taehee quickly ran to the front door and then back in to check her appearance in the mirror.
It was something that had never happened before.
Just now, after removing the face mask, her skin was moist, and her well-dried curls were lively with proper waves.
However, her face looked a bit bland.
“Let’s just apply lip balm.”
She picked up the slightly sticky lip balm but remembered when Sajun asked what it was smeared with. With her thumb, she wiped it away and put it back down.
After applying the strawberry-scented lip balm that naturally colored her lips, Taehee hurriedly descended the stairs.
Despite the grumbling to stay away, she genuinely wanted to see Sajun and was honestly pleased that he came to see her like this.
As she reached the first floor, her breath reached the tip of her chin.
But she approached without showing it, and Sajun, who came closer, handed her a paper shopping bag.
“I bought some of your favorite cream caramel rooibos tea bags and some other herbal teas. Drink them when you want at home.”
“Thanks. But did you come all the way to give me this?”
When Taehee asked cautiously, Sajun chuckled.
“I just stopped by on the way. I bought them at a nearby cafe.”
Sajun’s gaze and voice, looking down calmly, were no different from usual.
But why did they feel affectionate?
Thinking that Sajun might genuinely like her, she interpreted things excessively and developed expectations.
“Not nervous about tomorrow’s appointment?”
Instead of answering, Taehee made a hesitant smile.
“No need to be nervous. Got it?”
“…”
“Sleep well, Min Taehee.”
Taehee nodded slightly.
Only then did Sajun, who had said he would leave, turn around.
“Just a shop?”
Without thinking, Taehee grabbed a piece of Sajun’s clothes.
As Sajun slowly turned around again, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Feeling reluctant to part like this, Taehee quickly let go of the clothes she had been holding.
Though she wondered why she grabbed the clothes, Sajun slowly lowered his face.
The lips that seemed to touch, as if going to kiss, made her heart pound.
At the moment when she thought that the slanting eyes were hot, the tingling breath touched her lips.
In that dizzying sensation, she closed her eyes, and Sajun’s lips gently touched her cheek.
Not the lips but the cheek.
Since he was going to do it, instead of the cheek, why not the lips, and instead of a peck, why not a kiss.
In the thick regret that surged, the exhaling breath was warm.
She opened her eyes gently, and Sajun’s face was close.
“Sleep well, Min Taehee.”
With a laughter-filled voice, Sajun whispered as if breathing, then slowly straightened up.
After gently stroking Taehee’s head with his large hand, he turned toward the car again.
Unable to take her eyes off even his back walking away, even that back seemed affectionate for some reason.
Why.
Sighing softly, Taehee closed and opened her eyes slowly.
Before getting in the car, Sajun turned around once.
He made a casual gesture for her to go in, still standing there.
Following that gesture, Taehee turned around and did not look back until she entered the building.
For some reason, it seemed necessary.
Turning around, it felt like she would rush to Sajun and jump into his arms.
⭐⭐⭐
They decided to have dinner with Sajun’s grandfather at a traditional Korean restaurant called Sodam, located in the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province.
Sajun’s car parked in the transformed backyard into a parking lot.
Before Sajun could open the door, Taehee, who had already gotten out of the car, checked her appearance from head to toe.
Tweed blouse, wide high-waisted black pants, and white stiletto heels made of enamel.
All these were items Sajun had shopped for with the card he gave her for today.
Taehee, who stood in front of Sajun, asked with a tense look, “How do I look, Kang Sajun?”
Though she was asking about her appearance, Sajun gazed intently at Taehee’s face.
“You look incredibly beautiful.”
It seemed like compliments included flattering.
Now, he often flattered her like this.
“I’m not in the mood to joke right now. Instead of flattering, speak calmly. How’s my appearance, not my face but my attire? Is it neat and tidy?”
Only then did Sajun’s gaze slowly scan Taehee from head to toe.
“You look pretty, neat, and tidy.”
“Well, that’s a relief.”
As Taehee sighed lightly, Sajun, who bent his waist, suddenly pushed his face close.
With slender eyes, he looked directly into Taehee’s light brown eyes filled with tension.
“I must have told you yesterday. Don’t be nervous.”
Even if it was a hundred days of dating, she hoped Sajun’s grandfather would like her.
Because he was the only person her beloved man cherished.
Unable to say that directly, Taehee turned the conversation differently.
“Sajun, you’re dealing with a scary person who trembles. How can I not be nervous when I have to deceive such a person? How’s my tension compared to my face? Is it calm?”
“If you’re just breathing, my grandfather will definitely praise you. It’s more like my grandfather should earn points for you.”
When Taehee gave him a look as if asking what nonsense he was talking about, Sajun casually continued.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t date or get married. I have to show off well. If you don’t want to see my grandfather living alone and dying lonely, then.”
Even so, when the tense expression didn’t ease, Sajun said, “But if you’re still nervous, should I hug you a little? Or maybe give you a kiss?”
Finding it absurd, Taehee raised her eyes, meeting the soft black pupils.
So, she smiled too.
After laughing, the tension seemed to loosen a bit.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. If you say you don’t like her, I’ll make sure not to see her until I die. Don’t you trust me?”
Looking at Taehee with seemingly only black eyes, she answered sincerely.
“I trust you.”
She trusts Kang Sajun.
She trusts him even to the point of the words he said that he likes her.
So, Taehee was afraid.
That she would keep liking him more and more, that she would want to believe in him even more.
Sajun held Taehee’s hand and entered the main entrance.
The employee waiting guided the two to a certain room.
When they opened the door with intricately woven paper windows, Sajun’s grandfather was sitting inside.
For decades, I heard that he was someone who tightly controlled the political landscape, so I thought he would be a very charismatic figure. Perhaps it’s because it’s a meeting with his beloved grandson.
Dressed in a traditional Korean outfit, Heegu had a gentle and amiable appearance with snow-white eyebrows and hair like snow, smiling warmly like a neighborhood grandfather.
“You rascal. You made Grandpa wait?”
“We arrived 10 minutes earlier than the appointed time. So, it’s not that we made Grandpa wait; it’s that Grandpa, who has plenty of time, waited alone.”
Watching Sajun respond crisply without formalities, Taehee slightly opened her mouth.
It was a moment to reaffirm that Sajun, who only showed courtesy to their mother, was telling the truth.
“Y-you impudent brat. Who on earth do you resemble?”
“I resemble Grandpa.”
Despite the banter, the conversation flowing between them was affectionate and comfortable.
As they took off their shoes and stepped onto the maru floor, the eyes of Heegu, which had been directed at Sajun, slowly shifted to Taehee.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Taehee.”
In that moment when the distinct eyes and gaze intertwined, Taehee realized.
Despite the friendly words, the look directed at her was sharp and cold, like a well-honed blade.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
