Utilizing the dazzling sunlight as a spotlight, Sajun’s face shimmered radiantly.
Was it like a tempting poison apple, sweet despite its danger?
Facing his deep black eyes, sparkling in the sunlight, a desire to succumb to his allure filled her heart.
Suppressing this urge, Taehee took off her hat and put it back on Sajun, thinking to herself,
“No, I won’t fall for it.”
Was this her second or third refusal?
Sajun, casually shrugging his shoulders and straightening up, remained unfazed.
Even with her refusal, Taehee, as a friend, offered some advice.
“There are plenty of girls who would jump at the chance to date you for free at just one look from your eyes. Pick one of them, not me.”
“Free comes with its own problems.”

“What problems could there be in dating? If it doesn’t work out, just break up and that’s it!”
Startled as Sajun suddenly leaned in closer again, Taehee involuntarily swallowed.
“Why are you doing this?” she wondered, choosing to look him straight in the eye instead of stepping back.
His gaze, sharp as if piercing through her inner thoughts, was locked in narrowed eyes.
“Not every woman can treat me like just another stone on the road like Min Taehee does. Starting a relationship just to have headaches later.”
It sounded like a compliment, yet also like an insult. The ambiguity was frustrating.
Saying things in a roundabout way that she couldn’t understand, what did he expect from her?
So Taehee, not to be outdone, smiled wryly and responded calmly.
“I’m the absolute ‘Eul’ (subordinate), yet I’m demanding and expensive – that’s why you’re pursuing me. Better find someone else while you still can.”
“Min Taehee.”

Sajun called her name gently and reached out with his large hand to brush back a stray lock of hair from her cheek.
What was he trying to do now?
Taehee stayed still, and his hand moved from her cheek to gently lift her chin.
“I have the means to pay a high price and meet your demanding tastes.”
Even as Sajun whispered tenderly, her hazel eyes under her long lashes remained emotionless.
“I have more than enough worth for you.”
If those eyes looked at me, if it meant starting a relationship and marrying you, I feel like I could do anything.
“But what should I do? I’m grateful you acknowledge my worth, but my answer is the same. I refuse.”
It was Taehee’s third rejection.
Having made his move, it was time for him to smoothly and neatly withdraw.

“Then that’s it for today.”
As Sajun released her chin, Taehee’s eyes widened as if she heard something unbelievable.
“Wait, ‘that’s it for today’? What, are you going to try again tomorrow?”
Her eyes, sharp as a cat’s yet also reminiscent of a rabbit’s, were now wide open.
Whether a cat or a rabbit, whatever it was, just fall for me, he thought.
“I have my male pride. I can’t give up just because I’ve been rejected a few times.”
Taehee furrowed her brows and retorted softly,
“So, how many more times do you plan to pursue me?”
“I’ve been rejected three times. So, maybe 97 more times?”
97 more times…

Repeating those words, Taehee looked utterly astounded.
“Sajun, before you hit 97 tries, haven’t you thought about seeing someone through a blind date?”
“Then fall for me before that happens.”
The corners of Taehee’s eyes fluttered gently as her lips parted slightly.
Sajun’s intense gaze was again fixed on those lips.
Although he knew he should approach calmly and not rush, he couldn’t help feeling anxious every time he saw her lips.
Sajun felt he was beginning to understand what an insatiable craving was.
“Why are you so persistent, Kang Sajun?”
“It’s not persistence. It’s desperation.”
Sajun had something else he wanted to say.
How was she planning to handle him after repeatedly rejecting him?

He would be patient with each rejection, and when she finally fell for him, he would unleash everything at once.
So, if she couldn’t handle it, she better fall for him soon.
Taehee, unaware of Sajun’s heated thoughts, added fuel to the fire.
“Sorry, but I’m not as desperate as you. If you have to see others and have another woman by your side.”
Taehee paused, then slowly opened her mouth, gazing at Sajun through her long eyelashes.
“Then, I’ll accept it as a friend.”
Sajun tilted his head slightly, looking at Taehee incredulously.
He smiled gently, meeting her eyes up close.
“Coming out looking this pretty.”
He laughed at the irony of Taehee’s words.

“How many times have I said it? Whether as a friend or a lover, I only keep one person by my side.”
“What kind of person do you take me for, saying such things?”
“I’m insisting because I’d prefer that one person to be you.”
So, she wasn’t desperate? Then he would have to make her feel that way.
“Think carefully while rejecting me the remaining 97 times.”
Sajun took off his hat and put it back on Taehee’s head. It was a response to her rejection.
“It’s not about whether to date me or not, but whether you can let me go to another woman.”
Taehee’s wrist fluttered slightly in Sajun’s grip.
“Why are you holding my hand?”
