He was too kind to a woman about to turn thirty, but a man who does not share personal contact. To anyone, it was an obvious rejection.
Without even time to smooth out the embarrassment, Seo Yeon hurriedly exited the parking lot.
Why are there so many cars on the road on a Friday night?
Seo Yeon hit the steering wheel hard every time the signal got caught.
She thought about a man named Kwon Yool who seemed within her grasp yet eluded her. He wasn’t incredibly attractive, but he was a man who drove her crazy with anticipation.
Swearing and expressing her frustration dozens of times, she found herself in the parking lot of her home. As unbearable frustration engulfed her, she found herself bursting with anger.
The pointless feeling of selfpity welled up within her, only to collapse in an instant.
With her head drooped low like a tortoise, she stared at the floor and squawked like a crazy woman.
“Argh! So annoying!”
((()))((()))((()))
Seo Yeon spent the entire weekend wallowing in sorrow and despair before finally resorting to skincare.
Monday morning. Chief Kim started the sales report while sneakily glancing at Seo Yeon’s face, as pale as a boiled egg.
“It’s early to judge, but the response to Yeni Black has been explosive.”
“The sales are decent than what we expected.”
“Decent? Madam. This is a massive success.”
Chief Kim brought up the hard work that Seo Yeon and the staff had put in with an expression of deep emotion.
However, the corners of Seo Yeon’s lips were downcast, showing no signs of lifting. Sensing something amiss, Chief Kim cocked his head.
“Madam, is there something you’re worried about?”
Chief Kim, who had been with Seo Yeon since the beginning and was quick to pick up on subtleties, asked.
“Sigh.”
A heavy sigh unexpectedly came out from Seo Yeon. Could she talk about her personal issues, especially right after the Monday report?
Chief Kim, wondering if there was a problem at the company, took a step closer to Seo Yeon, ready to listen.
“Should I… talk about this on a Monday morning… sigh.”
Chief Kim leaned forward as if urging her to spill it out.
“Well, it’s about my friend.”
At the unexpected mention of a friend, Chief Kim straightened up and let out a sigh of relief.
“She met a man. Well. He shows great affection, to the point where honey seems to drip from his eyes whenever they meet. He’s very attentive.”
As if urging her to continue, Chief Kim lightly nodded.
“But, he doesn’t give her his contact. Why would he do that?”
Although Seo Yeon went around in circles, Chief Kim immediately understood that she was curious about the mindset of a man who wouldn’t share his contact information.
“I might be jumping to conclusions so I’ll be careful, but based on my extensive experience…”
Seo Yeon perked up her ears.
“Isn’t it likely that he’s not interested? It could be a statement that he doesn’t want anything after the fact.”
Seo Yeon clasped her hands as if in prayer, faced with a diagnosis that was like a bolt from the blue.
“He… He did say we’d meet again. He’s very sweet and kind.”
“Now that I’m married, men are simpler than you’d think. If they like you, they’ll express it somehow.”
Director Kim gave a few more examples.
“My husband, in the early days of our relationship, he went on a trip to a remote part of Southeast Asia. He missed me so much that he walked for 4 hours to make a call. Just for a 15minute conversation.”
Seo Yeon put her hand to her forehead.
“And then when my younger brother was in the army. He was so eager to see a girl he was interested in. A guy who couldn’t even shoot properly became a sharpshooter and got a reward vacation.”
Seo Yeon, with her eyes tightly closed, bowed her head.
“Of course, we can’t generalize… but I think the way a man behaves towards a woman he likes is almost always similar?”
It all made sense when she heard it.
All the men Seo Yeon had met so far had been the same.
“But, then, why do they act so sweet, like honey bees, even when they’re not interested? Why is that?”
“Maybe it’s something like keeping you in their pond?”
Keeping in a pond?
Seo Yeon had never kept anyone in her pond in her life, nor had she ever been kept in anyone else’s.
Her hands, which had been clasped in response to the care she was receiving for the first time in her life, fell onto the desk as if they had collapsed.
Director Kim, who had been watching Seo Yeon’s behavior closely, asked with a smirk.
“But the story is not about a friend. It’s about the CEO… right?”
Although it was inappropriate to discuss personal matters at work, Director Kim was a senior colleague who had been with her from the beginning of the company and never hesitated to give advice when it was tough.
Seo Yeon wanted to let it all out.
“That’s… Yes. You’re right.”
Seo Yeon briefly explained her current situation.
About the man she can’t stop thinking about whether her eyes are open or closed, Kwon Yool.
She said he clearly likes her and says he’ll see her again, but he didn’t give his contact information.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
