Tae Yeon tightly held her trembling hands.
First, she was grateful. It was a moment when her thoughts that Do Jun would not get involved in her affairs were vanishing.
Then, there was a following question.
What was all this for?
As if reading Tae Yeon’s curiosity, Do Jun spoke in a soft voice.
“Are you curious about my intentions?”
“Yes, correct.”
“I don’t like variables appearing between us. If I say that I want to block all external factors that stimulate Miss Jin Tae Yeon, would you understand?”
It was somewhat ambiguous.
“Isn’t it hard enough for me to suddenly return from America? I think it’s enough for me to stress Miss Jin Tae Yeon.”
“Ah… Thank you. I didn’t expect you to care this much.”
Do Jun unbuckled Tae Yeon’s seatbelt. Then, he narrowed the distance with a thin smile.
“Isn’t Miss Jin Tae Yeon also putting in a lot of effort for me?”
“….”
“Understanding that I take off my clothes to sleep. And now you’re good at pretending to be a loving couple in front of others.”
Was it possible to make a jawdropping investment over just that? It was a strange calculation.
“Let’s go in.”
Do Jun got out of the car first and opened the passenger side door. The two got out of the car and headed together towards the house.
Gratitude and curiosity. Tae Yeon’s heart was floating between them.
((()))((()))((()))
Tae Yeon, who was ready for work, stopped before getting in Do Jun’s car.
“Did you forget something?”
“No, I would like to start commuting separately from today.”
“The reason?”
Tae Yeon spilled the story of the emergency stair couple she heard from Yoon Ji a few days ago.
Do Jun, who had been listening quietly, pulled up the corners of his mouth as if he was interested.
“Did you see the face?”
“Thankfully, no. So, I think we should be more careful at the company.”
“I see.”
Saying that, Do Jun opened the passenger seat door. Tae Yeon stared at Do Jun as if saying what are you doing.
“I will drop you off near the company.”
“No…”
“I will drop you off in a place where no one knows, so don’t argue and get in my car.”
Without a choice, Tae Yeon got into Do Jun’s car. It was bad for the environment to use two cars when they were going in the same direction.
While heading to the company, Do Jun casually asked.
“But why are you hiding your husband’s identity at the company?”
“Obviously…”
“It seems like you haven’t talked about your husband at all even before I came as the division manager.”
She couldn’t tell him.
Because this marriage had an expiration date and was heading towards the end.
There was nothing to gain from telling the company people about the husband she was about to break up with.
But she couldn’t tell Do Jun that. Tae Yeon just beat around the bush.
“I don’t like to be the talk of the town.”
“You want to live a quiet life?”
“Yes.”
“But the place next to the married Jin Tae Yeon is a place that gets all sorts of glamorous lights?”
Tae Yeon nodded and sighed.
“You’re right.”
“I will make sure you don’t regret your choice, Miss Jin Tae Yeon.”
It meant that he would make sure she wouldn’t regret marrying him.
Tae Yeon just smiled faintly.
In the meantime, the company was getting closer. As Do Jun moved the car to the side of the road, he asked once more.
“Can you really get off here and walk?”
“Of course. I commuted well using public transportation when you weren’t there.”
“It will be hot.”
“I’ll be at the company soon. Let me get off. See you later.”
Do Jun looked blankly at the empty seat after Tae Yeon got off.
The subtle strawberry scent that came from her was heavily soaked inside the car.
The traffic light changed and Tae Yeon crossed the road. Then, she sneaked a glance at Do Jun’s car, waved with a grin.
Do Jun also raised his hand and waved next to his face.
Even though she was tanned, Tae Yeon couldn’t see his face.
Always being together and being apart for a moment, it felt strangely empty.
((()))((()))((()))
Do Jun’s office.
Secretary Choi knocked and entered with a fast pace. His face was inexplicably excited.
“Director, it’s here.”
“Can’t be.”
“Correct.”
Secretary Choi put a familiar brown envelope on Do Jun’s desk.
Do Jun quickly opened the envelope and took out the picture inside.
As it turned out, everything was now clear. The figure in the picture delivered today was not Tae Yeon, but Tae Jin.
It seemed familiar, but strangely different once I knew.
The picture delivered to Do Jun today was the back of Tae Jin entering the club.
And in the next picture, Tae Jin was coming out of the club, arm in arm with a man I had never seen before.
“What an interesting woman.”
The man in the picture I had received before was someone else.
“And quite diligent.”
Perhaps because I knew that the woman in this picture was not Tae Yeon.
I had no uneasy feelings when the picture was delivered.
“Just pictures again today?”
“That’s correct. There were no messages.”
“Then we must guide her.”
“How are you thinking of doing it?”
Secretary Choi asked Do Jun, leaning in curiously.
“We’ll have to set a trap.”
Do Jun’s finger tapped on the picture placed on the table.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
