“A time that can be short or long, 30 minutes. Kwonyul couldn’t take his eyes off the clock. Despite the barrage of intense questions from friends, he earnestly answered while anxiously waiting for Seoyeon to return. It felt restless, as if counting down the diminishing time like shouting a countdown in his mind.
When exactly 30 minutes passed, he could no longer wait. The time Kwonyul could exercise his patience was the promised 30 minutes with Seoyeon.
“Hojin.”
Kwonyul called out straightforwardly to Hojin, who had a face.
“Yes? Oh… Please bring Seoyeon now.”
Quick-witted Hojin spoke on his behalf, saying what he wanted to say.
“Thank you for understanding. Please wait a moment.”
Kwonyul bowed and quickly got out of the driver’s seat.
Then he moved toward where Seoyeon and Minhyuk had disappeared.
A secluded corner of the building where darkness had fallen.
Seoyeon’s tender shoulders, standing with her back turned, caught Kwonyul’s eye.
Thump, thump.
It felt like Kwonyul’s intense heartbeat was hitting his ears.
‘I wasn’t supposed to send Seoyeon away. We should have been together from the beginning.’
Kwonyul blamed himself while looking at the back of Seoyeon, standing facing Minhyuk.
At that moment, Minhyuk’s affectionate voice came from afar.
“Seoyeon, stay as you are.”
“…No.”
Kwonyul muttered softly, unable to endure the sense of crisis that Minhyuk might take Seoyeon away at any moment.
His whole body felt drained of blood, his vision shook, and his stomach churned.
Kwonyul forcefully clenched his frozen fingers and ran toward Seoyeon.
“I can’t allow that.”
Kwonyul, who was as if running with a heart pounding like crazy, swallowed his panting breath.
“Kwonyul, it seems like it’s not your place to intervene.”
Flames flickered in Minhyuk’s eyes for a moment.
Seoyeon was extremely embarrassed by the unexpected confrontation.
However, Kwonyul wasn’t daunted by any warnings.
“Talk to me separately.”
Minhyuk smirked.
What was this?
It seemed to emphasize that the conversation was like adults talking about their nephew, Wonjun.
His eyes, sharp but somehow leisurely.
Overflowing self-confidence accumulated through long experience, mixed with a bit of disdain and sarcasm, seemed to say, ‘Someone like you?’
Then, a strange vigor surged.
Kwonyul thought it was unreasonable to engage in a confrontation over Seoyeon. But now that it had come to this, he could not retreat. It wasn’t that he had intervened between the two, but that Minhyuk had intervened between him and Seoyeon.
In times like these, he had to straighten up and act more decisively.
Whether he liked it or not, the invisible confrontation had already begun, and the fight was about how to protect the precious person.
“I won’t back down for Seoyeon’s sake.”
“Me neither.”
Minhyuk’s gaze, full of confidence, turned toward Seoyeon.
In an instant, Kwonyul wanted to shout.
Don’t look at Seoyeon like that.
As if he could cover Minhyuk’s eyes, hide Seoyeon, and protect her.
Kwonyul became restless, as if his whole body was tingling and his heart was pounding.
It was an undeniable desire for Seoyeon, or rather an unbearable possessiveness.
Following jealousy, he felt momentarily confused by the new emotion.
Suppressing the surging unknown emotion, Kwonyul said with difficulty, “If it’s for Seoyeon… I’ll do my best.”
Minhyuk lowered his gaze and chuckled.
Then he handed over a subtly shining business card.
“Let’s meet separately. If you have something to talk about, come find me.”
When Kwonyul accepted Minhyuk’s business card, Seoyeon suddenly stepped forward.
“CEO Choi’s behavior like this is not only inappropriate but also very uncomfortable.”
“I’m not asking for an opportunity.”
Seoyeon found this unexpected situation awkward.
“Just watch what kind of feelings I have for Seoyeon.”
“Do you really need to do that?”
Despite Seoyeon’s clear boundary-setting, Minhyuk seemed unaffected by any significant impact.
“For Seoyeon, I hope you make a better choice for her future. It would be nice if you were careful,” Minhyuk touched on Kwonyul’s vulnerable spot. “I will decide that future.”
“Do Seoyeon’s parents think the same way?” When the topic of parents came up, Seoyeon hesitated for a moment. “Anyway, my mom suggested having a meal together.”
“Us… my mom?” Before developing a deeper relationship with Kwonyul, Seoyeon found it burdensome to clash with her parents. So, she planned to wait until Kwonyul’s exams were over and things stabilized somewhat. There was no need to worry her parents or make Kwonyul nervous.
However, Seoyeon unexpectedly grasped her forehead at Minhyuk’s words. “No, when did such contact…”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
