She was curious.
But it felt like Pandora’s box, which once opened, could never be closed again.
She was afraid to make a choice.
It was laughable. The fact that she and Do Jun, being a couple, were afraid of their relationship deepening.
Yet, she couldn’t quite understand her own feelings.
It could be just affection developed from being with Do Jun frequently.
Or maybe she really started liking him.
But whatever it was, it wasn’t particularly positive.
It wasn’t a marriage where emotions interfered.
It was about getting what one wants and then going separate ways, as if Cha Do Jun never existed in her life.
For such a clean transaction, she first needed to suppress her wildly beating heart.
So, once again today, Tae Yeon extended her hand and pushed Do Jun away. Do Jun didn’t resist and stepped back obediently.
Tae Yeon, feeling thirsty, gulped down all the remaining wine.
There were numerous reasons why she had to push him away.
Do Jun might not know, but this relationship had an end.
She knew how difficult it would be to retrieve her heart if she carelessly gave it away.
Do Jun looked at Tae Yeon intently and asked curiously,
“I’ve noticed something while watching Jin Tae Yeon all this time.”
“What is it?”
“You draw a line and make sure no one crosses it.”
Feeling exposed, Tae Yeon’s pupils trembled.
‘How much does he know?’
Tae Yeon quickly masked her expression.
“No, that’s not it.”
“Well, even if that’s the case, it’s okay.”
What did he mean by that?
Do Jun casually placed his wine glass down with a thud, leaning forward.
“Whether Jin Tae Yeon draws a line or builds a wall, it’s not important.”
Was he implying that it didn’t matter because it was a political marriage?
However, Tae Yeon’s assumptions shattered instantly.
Do Jun looked at Tae Yeon and cast a dizzying smile.
“If Jin Tae Yeon draws a line, I plan to cross it.”
“…”
“Even if you build a wall. I’ll either break it or climb over it.”
“What?”
Do Jun smiled slightly, then gave a warning that wasn’t quite a warning.
“So, let’s try our best.”
What did he mean by that?
Whether she could continue to push him away like now.
Or was he asking for her to open up a little?
She wanted to ask, but was afraid she wouldn’t hear the answer she wanted.
More than that, she couldn’t understand why Do Jun was acting this way.
If they seemed like a loving couple to others, there shouldn’t be any problem with her drawing a line.
After pondering alone for a while, Tae Yeon finally decided to ask Do Jun.
“Do Jun, about what you said earlier.”
“Yes.”
“What does it mean?”
Do Jun twirled his wine glass next to his face, then lifted the corners of his mouth.
With a lethal smile, he looked intently at Tae Yeon.
“Exactly as I said. If Jin Tae Yeon wants to guard against me or push me away, that’s okay.”
“Why?”
“Are you sure you can handle the answer?”
Do Jun delayed as if he was about to bring up something significant. Tae Yeon swallowed hard.
“No. I’ll hear it later. Later.”
Do Jun shrugged as if to say ‘as you wish’.
After that, Tae Yeon couldn’t remember anything about the conversation she had with Do Jun while they were drinking wine.
It was just his words that kept revolving in her head.
[Time Divider]After finishing a bottle of wine, the two headed to the bedroom.
As they were about to turn off the lights and sleep.
Do Jun’s phone rang. The caller was Secretary Choi.
“I’ll go and take the call, Jin Tae Yeon, you can go to sleep first.”
After Do Jun left. The bedroom, excessively cooled by the air conditioner, felt even colder.
Tae Yeon pulled the blanket up to her neck and lay in bed, but sleep didn’t come easily. There was a sense of emptiness.
Was it because she was in a different bed?
Even though Do Jun often went on business trips before he came, she had never felt this way.
Could it be because Do Jun, who was always by her side, was not there?
Despite thinking this, Tae Yeon sighed softly, finding herself ridiculous.
She hadn’t been living with Do Jun for even a month.
And here she was, feeling his absence so acutely, despite having lived well without him before.
It was funny to her that she felt emptiness after pushing him away.
“Get a grip, Jin Tae Yeon.”
She felt she needed to hold her mind and heart together tightly, or else she would be helplessly dragged along.
By Do Jun.
What exactly was that man planning to do?
Wondering about his intentions, Tae Yeon closed her eyes.
Her body was tired, but she couldn’t sleep.
Because she felt lonely. Empty. Lacking warmth.
And because Do Jun was not there.
[Time Divider]After receiving a call from Secretary Choi, Do Jun hurriedly handled urgent company matters.
He thought it would only take a moment, but it ended up taking quite some time.
After finishing his work, Do Jun stretched and looked at the clock on the wall. It was well past midnight.
Wondering if Tae Yeon had fallen asleep by herself, Do Jun found his concern for her curious and muttered to himself.
“Why is she still so wary of me?”
