Just as Ihyeon and Yerin were about to leave, Pyeonghun stopped them.
“What were you two doing at this late hour?”
A hint of irritation flickered across Ihyeon’s face, but he quickly masked it and turned around.
“I wasn’t feeling well today.”
“Ah.”
“Yerin was helping me find medicine.”
His cool gaze fixed on Pyeonghun.
“And then Mr. Han showed up unexpectedly, so I had to step out.”
“Ah, about that…”
“My headache is getting worse.”
Ihyeon rubbed his forehead, convincingly portraying pain. Perhaps it wasn’t an act, considering the stress from talking to Pyeonghun.
With a pleasant smile, Ihyeon glanced at Pyeonghun.
“May I go in to take my medicine now?”
His tone asked for permission, but the decision was already made. Not wanting to be rude, Pyeonghun nodded reluctantly.
Ihyeon quickly took Yerin’s hand and disappeared inside the house.
After the door slammed shut, Pyeonghun came to his senses.
“Ah, I meant to ask for money.”
However, he lacked the courage to open the door again, not wanting to face Ihyeon’s intimidating presence.
Reluctantly, Pyeonghun left, promising himself another attempt in the future.
Once inside, Yerin immediately let go of Ihyeon’s hand and took a deep breath, leaning against the wall.
Before Yerin could speak, Ihyeon preempted her.
“I’m sorry.”
“….”
“I apologized for intervening suddenly, even though you told me to stay quiet inside.”
She intended to scold him, but his apology left her speechless.
“I also apologize for suddenly introducing myself as your boyfriend in front of your father.”
“….”
Ihyeon was quick-witted.
Yerin was about to mention another issue – when she grabbed Ihyeon’s sleeve, signalling him to stop, but instead, she felt his warmth.
Before she could speak, Ihyeon apologized again.
“I’m sorry for grabbing your hand without permission.”
Ihyeon seemed to know exactly what he did wrong, leaving Yerin speechless.
“Why did you do that if you knew it was wrong?”
“I couldn’t stand by as the conversation outside grew heated.”
Ihyeon argued, sparkling eyes suggesting he had a reason for his actions.
“I thought it would be better to introduce myself as your boyfriend rather than as your boss.”
“Ah….”
“Should I not have?”
“No, it was better than introducing you as my boss. Otherwise, my father would have had even more misunderstandings.”
“Oh, I see.”
He feigned ignorance, knowing all along.
Yerin sighed and moved towards the sofa.
Ihyeon, like an excited large puppy, followed closely.
When Yerin sat on the sofa, Ihyeon sat next to her – too close.
Yerin subtly moved away.
“Why did you even hold my hand?”
“Because I wanted to.”
“….”
“And it seemed like something a couple would do in that situation.”
That made sense, but they weren’t a couple.
“Mr. Director, I haven’t decided to go through with this fake relationship.”
“And whether we’ll actually become a couple is uncertain.”
“Ah, right, I forgot.”
Ihyeon smiled mischievously, as if he just remembered.
“What should I do now? I’ve already introduced myself as Yerin’s boyfriend to her father, even before we started dating.”
“…….”
So, this was something to freak out about.
“I definitely didn’t go out there with that in mind.”
“It seems like it.”
“I just didn’t want to leave Secretary Han in a difficult situation.”
“…….”
In the end, it was somewhat peaceful thanks to Ihyeon’s intervention. Otherwise, Pyeonghun might have physically assaulted me and refused to leave my house without getting some money.
Anyway, the conclusion was somewhat positive for Yerin.
Although it was a bit bothersome that Pyeonghun misunderstood our relationship, it could be resolved next time by telling him we broke up.
“Thank you.”
At Yerin’s thanks, Ihyeon slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and stood up.
“Are you leaving?”
Suddenly, Yerin felt reluctant to see him go. They hadn’t talked much due to Pyeonghun’s interruption, and she wanted to ask what Ihyeon had heard from their conversation.
And truthfully, she wanted to spend more time with him.
There were many reasons to hold onto Ihyeon, but Yerin regretted blurting that out.
Ihyeon, however, seemed quite pleased.
“Would you prefer if I didn’t leave?”
Hearing his teasing tone, Yerin quickly got up.
“No. I was just going to escort you downstairs.”
A lame excuse, but Ihyeon seemed to buy it.
Ihyeon stepped forward and adjusted the cardigan slipping off Yerin’s arm.
At that moment, his warm hand touched her arm.
As Yerin flinched, the corners of Ihyeon’s mouth rose.
“It’s still spring, and nights can be chilly. What if you catch a cold?”
“I’m pretty robust.”
“Being overconfident like that, how will you face me if you catch a cold?”
Yerin laughed awkwardly, biting her lip.
It seemed Ihyeon was finally about to leave her house. He headed towards the front door.
“Mr. Director, let me walk you down to the first floor.”
“It’s alright.”
“It’s quite dark on the stairs…”
“Secretary Han.”
“Yes, Mr. Director.”
“Relax and go to bed early.”
