“It’s been a while, Director… Seo Rin.”
Seo Rin looked up at Tae Joon, who extended his hand to her, with disbelief in her black eyes.
Why on earth was this man here?
No, was the man in front of her the same man from eight years ago?
His face was certainly the same, but a distinct aura, somehow different, made her question whether this man was indeed Tae Joon Kang. However, the moment he revealed that charming smile, the one where he slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, she was certain.
It was… Tae Joon Kang.
Only then did Seo Rin firmly grasp the hand he offered.
“It’s been a while. I never would have thought… to meet you, Tae… Joon, in such a place…”
Uttering his name after eight years wasn’t easy. Whether then or now, just hearing his name made her heart tremble for no reason.
“No one, not even you, could have possibly imagined it.”
His low but pleasant voice resonated in her ears.
Tae Joon was right.
Who could have possibly imagined? To meet an old lover in this place, where she had appeared to protect her management rights. Especially the man she had decisively kicked out.
Damn it!
She felt as if she had been blindsided while trying to forge her own destiny.
The shock was so great that it made her feel queasy.
And now, she had to somehow make that man her ally, what a ridiculous fate.
“Let’s sit down first. We have things to discuss, don’t we?”
“Right. Things to discuss.”
His dark eyes deeply sank into her voice. His gaze, more mature than eight years ago, gave her heart a slight tremor. It tickled as if a butterfly had landed on her heart.
Why was this happening?
It must have been the synergistic effect of his good looks. Tae Joon was that impressive.
If Tae Joon in his twenties was a surprising man with a boyish charm and a sexy body, Tae Joon in his thirties was downright unfair.
His delicate face hadn’t changed, then or now, but time had added a deep hue.
That’s not all. His already broad shoulders seemed to have become even broader, like the Pacific Ocean, and his voice had become more profound. Just listening was enough to wet the eardrum.
Thus, Tae Joon had matured perfectly and appeared again before her, blurring her vision.
It really felt like everything around her, except him, was becoming blurry.
“Aren’t you curious about how I ended up here?”
At his voice, which enchanted her eardrums, Seo Rin tightly clenched the hand resting on her knee.
She had to stay focused. She couldn’t let the past ruin her present.
“I’m too on edge to waste time on past stories.”
“No time to indulge in memories…”
“If you want to put it that way.”
“I thought at least we could exchange pleasantries… How have you been? You’re really… the same as ever.”
With that, Tae Joon moved his long fingers, which had been hovering near the glass, and wet his dry throat. But to Seo Rin’s dark eyes, his movements looked like a slow motion replay.
As she watched his slowly moving lips, a piece of her carefully hidden past memories suddenly overwhelmed her.
The unfamiliar sensation that his lips had provided.
And his touch, tickling her skin pleasantly.
It was her first time kissing a man, having her body touched by a man. Like a child stepping into an unknown world she’d never experienced, Seo Rin was helplessly drawn into the world he introduced.
Her first night, her first man.
That memory swept through her mind like a powerful wave.
“Alright. We’re here for business, so let’s talk business. What do you want from me, straightforwardly?”
Only after hearing his question could Seo Rin regain her senses from the turbulent wave of memories. She felt completely drained even before she had a chance to gather her thoughts.
“Do you think I came here without knowing? Didn’t you get contacted from President Baek’s side?”
“I did.”
“But coming here, does that mean you’re going to support me? Or maybe…”
For revenge?
Seo Rin barely swallowed the last word. It was an unexpected situation, but she had a feeling that his presence here was anything but a coincidence. And if this situation was indeed orchestrated by him, she suspected his intentions were far from benevolent.
However, this was just a theory, a natural conclusion if she considered what she had done to him.
Yet, strangely, she didn’t feel anxious.
His appearance was indeed shocking, but ironically, a sense of relief followed the immense shock that contracted and expanded the blood vessels in her body.
Because she thought that the old him, at least, wouldn’t stab a knife in her back.
Yes. That was the kind of person Tae Joon was.
The man who confessed his love to her morning and night, despite her never uttering the words “I love you.”
The man who always gave more than he received.
A man… familiar with love.
Perhaps that was why. Despite what she had done to him, Seo Rin couldn’t suppress the rising hope within her.
“No, I just… I hope you will support me.”
She didn’t beat around the bush. Muddying the waters with vague words wasn’t her style.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
