Seeing Heejun with her and worried that Lee Hyun might feel uncomfortable, she decided to explain. Although it was a fake relationship, it was proper not to meet other people of the opposite sex during that period.
Lee Hyun seemed to like Yerin’s additional explanation as he let out a small laugh.
“I understand.”
“You do?”
Although she didn’t say anything, Yerin looked curious, wondering how he knew.
“Miss Han Yerin smiled at me when that man wasn’t around.”
“Did she?”
Upon careful consideration, it seemed like that was the case. Meeting the unwelcome guest Heejun made her very embarrassed, but unexpectedly encountering Lee Hyun made her very happy.
“Don’t worry about misunderstanding, just eat quickly.”
When Yerin smiled, Lee Hyun also mirrored a similar smile. It was a simple act, having dinner together. However, doing it with Lee Hyun made it feel like a special time.
“Seoyun!!”
Heejun burst into the room of the club where Seoyun was drinking.
The young man who was drinking with her frowned at Heejun’s sudden appearance.
“Nuna, who is this?”
In response to the man’s question, Seoyun slowly stood up, irritation evident on her face.
“Hey, let’s talk.”
At Heejun’s request, Seoyun let out a deep sigh.
“Hey guys, can you step out for a moment?”
“Sure, Nuna.”
Two men with mixed facial features like idols left the room.
The door closed with a loud thud as Heejun slammed the table with his fist.
“Hey, Han Yerin said she has feelings for me.”
“Did she now?”
Seoyun, with a weary expression, questioned why he was bringing up a story that had already ended.
“Today, I went to find Han Yerin, but she says she never said anything like that.”
Seoyun chuckled at his story.
“Oppa, don’t you understand women at all?”
“What?”
“I mean, you can’t compare with Cha Hyeon.”
Already feeling a blow to his pride after shrinking in front of Lee Hyun, being compared again was a further blow.
“What are you saying? Speak so I can understand.”
“Are you asking if today, when I went to see her, she told me she still has lingering feelings for you? Is that what you’re talking about?”
“…….”
Looking at Heejun, who had no answer, Seoyun smiled as if to say it was ridiculous.
“You must be crazy. Seriously. If you ask like that, what girl would casually admit it?”
Seoyun, finding Heejun so frustrating, poured whiskey from a transparent glass into an empty glass.
Heejun drank it in one go, slammed it down with a thud, and looked troubled.
“But approaching Han Yerin again seems quite difficult.”
Exhaling deeply, Heejun, this time, irritated Seoyun.
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“Cha Hyeon, the director, suddenly appeared in front of Yerin’s house today.”
Thinking back to earlier, it felt like his blood was boiling.
Lee Hyun knew even the source of the absurd story that Yerin still had lingering feelings for him was Seoyun.
“The two of them seem really serious… and… well…”
“Hahaha, Oppa.”
Seoyun laughed, tilting her head back as if she had heard an interesting story.
“So do you think those two might get married? In your opinion, do you think so, Oppa?”
Watching Heejun struggling to answer, Seoyun added another comment.
“It’s possible, right? Their family backgrounds are so different.”
Seoyun already had a triumphant smile, resting her chin on her hand.
“Anyway, the end for those two is already decided. So, Oppa, you just need to take advantage when Yerin is struggling.”
Seoyun shrugged as if to say it’s not that complicated.
“Maybe Yerin will do volunteer work this week?”
“Volunteer work?”
“Yeah. She goes to an orphanage regularly once a month. I’ll let you know the location, and you can go with her.”
“Why would I go to a place like that?”
Seoyun frowned, as if frustrated.
“Go and pretend to be a warm-hearted man. Yerin is weak for that kind of thing.”
Still unable to decide whether to go or not, Heejun looked at Seoyun, who chuckled.
“Oppa, do you think you can beat Director Cha Hyeon in your lifetime?”
“What did you say?”
“Family background, education, wealth, ability, looks. Is there anything about you that’s better than Director Cha Hyeon?”
“Hey, are you trying to make me angry with that kind of talk?”
“No?”
Seoyun slowly tilted her head down, bringing her upper body forward.
“Oppa knows, right? There’s nothing about you that’s better than Director Cha Hyeon.”
As Heejun blushed at Seoyun’s accurate words.
She whispered a sentence into his ear.
“But what if you snatch away the woman of such a man?”
“……. ”
“In that case, Oppa wins.”
