Nari was extremely surprised to hear that Ihyun and Yerin were hugging each other.
Thinking she might have misheard, she asked again, “What?”
Nari, to prevent an exclamation that was about to burst out belatedly, covered her mouth with both hands.
‘Is this crazy? What were the two of them doing in the fitting room?’
However, trying not to reveal such confusing emotions, Nari spoke with all her might.
“Hey. Could Secretary Choi have misunderstood?”
“No. I saw it clearly.”
Even though Secretary Choi saw it with his own eyes, he still muttered as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Director Ihyun even undid the shirt buttons completely…”
“What?”
“…and was hugging Secretary Hanyerin from behind.”
“…?”
Only now did Nari seem to understand why Secretary Choi had such a shocked expression.
The phone that Nari was holding fell to the ground.
Thunk—
At that sound, Nari belatedly regained her composure.
“Hey. It can’t be true. The two of them, it’s not like that, right?”
Nari was also very surprised, but for now, she had to pretend it wasn’t like that.
‘No, earlier in the car, he clearly said it’s difficult between him and Director Ihyun.’
Secretary Choi wasn’t someone to talk nonsense.
Seeing his absent-minded face, it seemed that what he said was somewhat true.
In this short time, it was unlikely that the feelings between the two of them had suddenly ignited.
‘Maybe while changing clothes, Secretary Choi suddenly came in, and they got flustered and hugged each other?’
That seemed like the most reasonable inference.
It would have been better if she had seen that scene while delivering the clothes herself.
How surprised Secretary Choi, who had no idea about the subtle emotions between the two, must have been when he saw that scene.
The absent-minded Secretary Choi looked at Nari and seemed to be seeking agreement, and he spoke.
“I really didn’t know they were waiting for me with their clothes already off.”
Secretary Choi slumped into the chair and let out a sigh.
“I thought they would be waiting, so I quickly opened the door without knocking to deliver the clothes…”
“Oh, really?”
Only now did Nari start to understand the situation Secretary Choi had witnessed.
Secretary Choi opened the door without any sign, and Ihyun, to cover Yerin inside the fitting room, had hugged her tightly.
Nari kindly spoke to Secretary Choi who was blaming himself.
“It’s okay, Secretary Choi. Anyone can make a mistake.”
Hearing Nari’s comforting words, Secretary Choi slowly turned his head.
Nari smiled gently at Secretary Choi.
“I feel like I know Secretary Choi’s intentions of wanting to quickly deliver the clothes, don’t I?”
The sun poured through the window at the right moment, touching Nari’s face.
“So don’t blame yourself too much.”
Like the bright smile of sunlight in spring, the secretary Choi’s heart raced even faster at that smile.
Compared to the heartbeat from a moment ago caused by his own mistake, it was incomparably faster.
Feeling emotions he hadn’t felt in a long time, Secretary Choi, still absent-minded like a while ago, was looking at Nari.
“Secretary Choi?”
“Oh, yes. Representative Kim Nari.”
Hearing Nari’s warm voice calling him, Secretary Choi belatedly regained his composure.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, thanks to the comfort from President Kim, I’m completely fine now.”
Hoo—
Secretary Choi took a deep breath and stood up from his seat.
“Thank goodness.”
Nari smiled gently and picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground.
She had missed it from her hands in surprise, causing the screen to have a crack.
Seeing that, Secretary Choi discovered it and made an apologetic face.
“Oh no. Is the phone okay?”
“Yes. Does it turn on well?”
Nari touched the screen a few times and soon made a short sound like “Ah.”
“Why are you doing that?”
Secretary Choi grabbed Nari’s hand, who was touching the phone screen.
There was a slight trace of blood.
Nari slightly furrowed her brows and said, “I think I touched the cracked screen with my hand.”
“Really?”
Secretary Choi took out a handkerchief from his pocket and firmly held Nari’s finger with the bloodstain.
“Just in case, let’s go to the hospital.”
“No, it’s just a little prick.”
“But still, it’s dangerous to leave it alone because there might be glass embedded.”
In a serious tone, Secretary Choi grabbed Nari’s hand, and she nodded as if enchanted.
“Yes. That would be better.”
Secretary Choi picked up Nari’s phone and gently wrapped her finger with the handkerchief.
In timely fashion, Ihyun and Yerin, who had changed clothes, returned to the cafeteria.
“No, the two of them…”
This time, Ihyun and Yerin were the ones surprised.
Until this morning, Secretary Choi and Nari didn’t seem particularly close, so it was understandable.
Before asking what happened, Secretary Choi urgently spoke as if to prove something.
“When I told President Kim Nari a while ago that you two were hugging each other in the fitting room, she was so surprised that she dropped her phone.”
