“Just as I had done.”
“Huh?”
Do Jun didn’t continue his sentence and simply left his mouth ajar.
“I’m curious about the taste of that chocolate, too.”
He could have insisted this was the emergency staircase of the office and thus declined it.
However, he quickly determined it would be better to just put the chocolate into his mouth than waste time making a fuss.
Tae Yeon swiftly moved to get the chocolate smoothly into Do Jun’s mouth.
Like someone who wanted to get a task done quickly, she fed him the chocolate in an instant and then took a step back.
A fleeting look of regret passed across Do Jun’s eyes.
Do Jun rolled the chocolate around in his mouth, scanning Tae Yeon with halflidded eyes.
“It’s delicious.”
“Isn’t it? It has a pleasant taste.”
Tae Yeon laughed softly with her eyes tightly closed. Do Jun stared at her face as if he could see right through it.
He couldn’t tear his gaze away. He had rarely seen such a bright smile.
She hadn’t even smiled like this when he bought her an expensive watch at the department store. To think that such a bright smile could be elicited by a piece of chocolate.
The more he knew about Tae Yeon, the more elusive she seemed.
Do Jun considered giving the remaining chocolate to Tae Yeon, but he decided against it.
Was he being stingy with this insignificant chocolate? No. Quite the opposite.
He wanted to see that bright smile again, using the chocolate as an excuse.
So he took the chocolate hostage.
“If you ever need chocolate, feel free to ask.”
“Huh? No, I’m fine.”
“Saying ‘I’m fine’, I feel like you want to limit the number of times you can say that in a day, Ms. Jin Tae Yeon.”
Do Jun chuckled and took the first step away.
“You’re welcome to come anytime.”
“…”
“If you need a reason, ‘I need chocolate’ should suffice.”
Do Jun put the chocolate back in his jacket pocket and calmly exited the emergency stairs.
Thud
Hearing the sound of the emergency door closing, Tae Yeon finally came back to her senses.
She leaned against the wall and let out a deep breath.
She felt comforted, thanks to the chocolate Do Jun had given her.
Or more accurately, thanks to Do Jun, who had given her the chocolate.
Before she saw Do Jun, her head had been aching severely due to her conversation with President Jin. But that pain was gone in an instant, and she murmured quietly to herself.
“I should have asked which brand of chocolate it was.”
The taste of the chocolate wasn’t what mattered. Even if he had given her cheap chocolate from a convenience store, she probably would have had the same effect.
It was a moment of gratitude for Do Jun, who had appeared at the perfect time when she was tired and had managed to lift her spirits.
((()))((()))((()))
Upon returning to his office, Do Jun mulled over the contents of the phone call he had inadvertently heard from Tae Yeon in the emergency stairs.
“You said you’d treat me like I don’t exist if we get married.”
When he combined what Secretary Choi had said with his own experiences over the past few days, it was clear that Tae Yeon was being constantly pestered at home.
Once they were married, Tae Yeon was his.
He felt upset. Someone was causing harm to his person.
Even if it were Tae Yeon’s family, he couldn’t tolerate it.
Then there was a knock. Secretary Choi entered the room.
“Director, President Jin has requested a meeting.”
“President Jin?”
Who was that?
Do Jun asked with a dubious expression.
“My fatherinlaw?”
“Yes. He said he wants to meet just the two of you as soon as possible. How should I respond?”
She must have thought he would definitely decline.
In the past, he might have. Do Jun didn’t tend to entertain relationships that only benefited one party.
But this time was different. Do Jun also had something he wanted to ask President Jin.
“Schedule it for the earliest evening that I’m free.”
“You’ll meet him?”
Secretary Choi asked, surprised. Do Jun leaned back in his chair, arms folded.
“There’s no harm in hearing what he has to say.”
“Understood.”
As Secretary Choi concisely completed her task and was about to leave the office, Do Jun stopped her.
“Secretary Choi, where did you say you got this chocolate?”
Looking at the chocolate Do Jun had placed on the table, Secretary Choi tilted her head. The wrapper was torn.
“Did you eat it?”
“Yeah.”
“You, Director, ate the chocolate?”
“Why. Why wasn’t I supposed to eat it? Secretary Choi gave it to me.”
“Well, that is true… But, sir, you usually don’t consume sweets.”
“I ate it because I was curious.”
How delicious could it be that a smile spread across the face of Tae Yeon, who was initially sulking?
I was curious. That’s why I wanted to taste it.
There was no reason to divulge such thoughts to Secretary Choi.
Do Jun waited for Secretary Choi’s response with an indifferent expression.
“I bought it when I was on vacation in Switzerland. If you’d like, I can check if it can be purchased through overseas direct purchase.”
“Don’t bother.”
“How much should I buy?”
“As much as possible.”

Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
