My Chick Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
When Seo Yeon asked if he’d been waiting for her call, Kwon Yul struggled with how to respond.
‘If I told you I circled the park three times thinking only of you, would you believe me? If I said I’ve held on for two more days, endured and endured again, would you be happy for me?’
Kwon Yul looked into Seo Yeon’s wide-open eyes and rearranged his thoughts.
His expression—tangled with complicated emotions—was utterly strange beyond words.
“Oh… Guess you weren’t waiting, then.”
Seo Yeon muttered this, having waited for Kwon Yul’s reply.
“No! I was just trying to figure out how to say something that would appeal to you, Seo Yeon.”
At Kwon Yul’s honest answer, Seo Yeon rubbed her nose and smiled.
Since they’d finished eating ramen, it seemed like the right time to get to the point.
In truth, Seo Yeon had already been itching to give him her number ever since they’d shared bread on the park bench.
But now that he said he’d been pondering how to appeal to her, she wanted to give him a chance.
“Go ahead, then. Try appealing to me.”
Seeing Kwon Yul flustered—clearly not expecting her to actually ask—Seo Yeon chuckled softly.
“If I don’t like it, I’ll tell you. Then I’ll quickly switch tactics.”
“Okay. I’m not that strict a person.”
Kwon Yul sincerely thanked Seo Yeon for approaching him first and apologized again for the past he’d pretended not to know about.
Then he calmly began explaining his future plans.
Of course, this was all under the unspoken premise: “If you give me your contact info right now.”
He promised he’d never be a nuisance, looking as if he were ready to hook pinkies if necessary.
And when he explained his idea of appropriate frequency and methods for contacting her, his expression was so serious he resembled someone negotiating a major contract.
‘I was going to give it to you even without all this effort,’ Seo Yeon almost said—but stopped herself and thought instead:
Ah. Maybe…
Maybe this man really had agonized deeply, just as he claimed, when someone new approached him.
How much effort must a person this cautious—someone who even called himself a coward—have made to gather such courage?
At that thought, Seo Yeon wanted to ease his heart.
“Can you remember it if I say it just once?”
At Seo Yeon’s unexpected words, Kwon Yul’s jet-black eyes widened like go stones, then he nodded.
“010-dash-9…”
She stopped at “9,” pursing her lips.
“You didn’t bring your phone?”
“It gets in the way when I run.”
“Should I just call you right now instead?”
“No. Just say it. I’ll memorize the number and call you as soon as I get home… Is that okay?”
After clearing her throat awkwardly, Seo Yeon nodded and finished reciting the number.
Kwon Yul’s gaze fixed solely on Seo Yeon’s pink lips.
Under his intense stare, Seo Yeon felt strangely flustered—her heart wobbling like soft, delicate tofu.
“I’ll check if you memorized it correctly. It’d be bad if I don’t get your call.”
Even after saying it, embarrassed, Seo Yeon looked away toward the quiet roadside.
“Ahem. Here, write it down here. My number.”
She thrust out her right hand.
Though she deliberately turned her head to avoid reading his expression, somehow his smile still caught her eye.
Slowly, he moved his long finger and began tracing numbers onto the center of her palm.
His index finger, though seemingly blunt at first glance, moved so lightly it felt like a feather tickling her palm.
“Right?”
Unable to suppress a shiver from the ticklish sensation, Seo Yeon’s shoulders trembled slightly as she nodded—and a broad smile spread across his face.
“Seo Yeon. Later… I really can call you, right?”
Worried she might change her mind, Kwon Yul asked for confirmation.
“Of course. Were you thinking of not calling? That won’t do. Give me your hand.”
He offered the hand he’d just wiped on his pants.
“Here. At our company, whenever you need my permission, you sign like this.”
When Seo Yeon left a flashy signature on his large palm, Kwon Yul’s ears briefly touched his shoulders before popping back.
“Now that it’s approved, you must call. I’ll be waiting.”
Clenching his empty fist as if holding something precious, blue veins surfaced on the back of Kwon Yul’s hand.
Watching his every move, Seo Yeon decided it was time to wrap up their surprise meeting for today.
After all, their official meeting was still set for Saturday.
“Shall we get up now?”
At Seo Yeon’s words, Kwon Yul reluctantly began slowly clearing the convenience store table.
“I’ll walk you.”
They strolled slowly, exchanging light conversation—just like neighbors out for a casual evening walk. Just like that.
Yet inside Kwon Yul’s head, he was seriously debating whether or not to ask about Saturday.
Before he could even open his mouth, they’d somehow already arrived at Seo Yeon’s apartment entrance—as if by teleportation.
Time truly flew when he was with her…
Kwon Yul decided he’d definitely ask about Saturday next time, and bid her farewell.
“Today was fun. Sleep well.”
“I had fun too. Take care on your way home.”
Though Seo Yeon couldn’t bring herself to leave just yet, she turned slowly with an awkward smile.
She considered glancing back after ten steps—but decided to save it for Saturday.
Kwon Yul stood there, gazing blankly at her retreating figure until she disappeared from view.
★★★
From Thursday night onward, Seo Yeon felt as if she were floating through the sky.
If someone asked whether she was overreacting to Kwon Yul’s texts, she’d reply:
“I didn’t know I’d be like this either.”
What was it about that single call before bed and those absurdly cute, white emoticons—so unlike his tall, imposing exterior—that made her giggle like a fool all morning long?
“Hah. It’s all because of that man and his hidden charms.”
Perhaps that was why Seo Yeon had been completely out of it since Friday morning.
While reviewing designs that needed corrections, scanning sales reports, even during calls with home shopping MDs—she kept giggling so much her cheeks ached.
On that lazy Friday afternoon, Seo Yeon forced herself into a stern expression during the Yenni Black promotional meeting, determined not to keep grinning like a fool.
But soon, her thoughts were once again hijacked by Kwon Yul.
“Hah, seriously. I need to work. Could you please step out of my head for just a bit?”
She caught herself scolding an innocent bystander, then absentmindedly stared at her hands.
“What if I hold his hand tomorrow? Should I get a manicure?”
She began worrying as if she’d already promised to hold his hand. Her nail design bothered her, and her hands looked a bit rough—that really bothered her.
As she alternated her gaze between her fingernails and the backs of her hands, she decided she’d stop by a nail salon on her way home.
Knock knock—
Before she could respond, Secretary Choi rushed into the meeting room.
When Seo Yeon shot her a questioning look, Secretary Choi handed her the tablet she was holding.
Seo Yeon’s eyes widened as she looked down at the screen.
Her fingers hurriedly zoomed in, swiped to the next photo, zoomed in again, then swiped once more.
“What… is all this?”
“New products listed on another shopping mall today.”
She wasn’t asking out of ignorance—she wanted to know why Yenni Black’s new designs were openly posted on a rival site.
“From Director Kim down to Design Team 1… Ugh—no. I’ll go myself.”
When Seo Yeon shot up from her seat, the marketing team members sensed the ominous atmosphere and exchanged nervous glances. Her expression was terrifying beyond words.
“Tell Design Team 2 to stand by. Call Lawyer Park and have them come to the office. Also, contact the factory and halt production immediately.”
“Yes, CEO.”
Seo Yeon swept her gaze across the staff in the meeting room and declared:
“Redo the Yenni Black promotional plan and submit it to me by Monday. This simply won’t do.”
The sharp click of her heels echoed as Seo Yeon swiftly exited the room.
Without waiting for the elevator, she took the stairs down straight to Design Team 1’s office.
When the door burst open and Seo Yeon stormed in, employees who’d been glued to their screens slowly turned their heads one by one.
“My dear colleagues. Everyone, step forward.”
Though she called them “dear,” her tone was anything but warm—cold enough to imply none of them would be left unscathed.
“I just spotted something odd. Who’d like to explain this?”
She held up her tablet so everyone could see clearly.
On screen was Yenni Black’s new product, boldly listed on another shopping mall with a “new arrival” tag.
“How did my baby end up as someone else’s baby like this?”
Even Director Kim, who rarely showed panic, couldn’t tear her eyes from the screen.
A design leak—this was utterly unthinkable.
“Until we identify who’s responsible, no one leaves the company premises.”
Seo Yeon meant every word.
Neither the design team staff nor Seo Yeon herself would be allowed to step outside the building until Saturday night.
First, Seo Yeon ordered all design team members to gather in one place.
Then she shut down all company computers and collected everyone’s phones. The room fell deathly silent, everyone watching each other warily.
When the IT team proved insufficient for the investigation, Seo Yeon immediately called in external experts.
Before they arrived, she pulled Director Kim aside to discuss the situation. Though everyone was a suspect, Director Kim was the only one she could consult.
“What do you plan to do?”
“Permanent dismissal. Someone like this doesn’t deserve to work in design.”
No trace of mercy remained in Seo Yeon’s sharp eyes.
When informed that Lawyer Park and the legal team had arrived, Seo Yeon shot up from her seat and spent a long time discussing response strategies.
Seo Yeon returned to the meeting room at 9 p.m.
Of course, she’d also ordered expensive boxed dinners for the staff in the meantime—she might punish them severely, but she wouldn’t let them go hungry.
Then she had them call their families one by one, using the company phone right in front of her, to explain they couldn’t return home due to an emergency. If any family member wanted to speak directly with Seo Yeon, she didn’t hesitate to take the call herself.
As the situation grew increasingly serious, everyone obediently followed Seo Yeon’s orders without complaint.
Once all calls were finished, Seo Yeon stood at the center of the meeting room.
Whether from hunger or sheer tension, it felt as if sharp claws were raking through her empty stomach.
Frowning deeply, she waited a moment for the pain to subside, then slowly scanned the room.
“My dear colleagues.”
Her low voice carried unmistakable authority.
“I don’t want to express disappointment here.”
Neither those who met her gaze nor those who looked down could escape her eyes.
“But I don’t want to speak of forgiveness either.”
The room’s atmosphere grew unbearably frosty.
“And of course, there will be no leniency. I intend to exact the maximum possible price and ensure appropriate punishment.”
In the dead silence, only the sharp click of Seo Yeon’s heels echoed clearly.
“And even if someone claims unavoidable circumstances, I won’t grant any kind of pardon.”
She picked up her phone from the table.
“So… I’ll tell you exactly what will happen next.”
One corner of her mouth lifted faintly as she continued.
“Violation of the Unfair Competition Prevention and Trade Secret Protection Act: anyone who transfers or rents out products created by another person shall be punished by imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won…”
She recited complex legal clauses fluently, just as Lawyer Park had instructed.
“And since these are Yenni Black designs, I’ll also add copyright infringement charges.”
Though she hadn’t yet shown her claws, her eyes gleamed like a predator fully prepared to strike.
“To spoil our next move: we plan to sue the shopping mall that stole our designs, and we’ll pursue every possible civil lawsuit against the individual responsible for the leak.”
Her resolute tone and penetrating gaze radiated such overwhelming presence that even the innocent found themselves trembling involuntarily.
“Well then—shall we give each of you a turn to prove your innocence?”
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.
