Gyeong Joon had never had such a long conversation with Seo Ha before. At most, they had exchanged childish and trivial bickering like “Did you come up here without contacting me again?” and “As you know, our CEO has a ban on this place.”
She should have just ignored him when she saw him. Why would she come running after him, a woman who didn’t even fit in, getting drenched in the rain?
“How is your car? The convertible that you drive with the top down on the highway.”
Yoon Seo Ha replied with a look that said, “Why do you even care?”
“I gave it to someone else because it was raining.”
“Then, follow me.”
Gyeong Joon quickly turned around and started walking. However, after walking for a short while, he didn’t feel anyone following him. Looking back, he found Seo Ha’s retreating figure far away, getting soaked in the winter rain.
“That woman, seriously!”
He pushed through the crowd, ran after her, and grabbed her shoulder, but she violently shook him off as if she had met a criminal. Unbelievably.
“Let me go. What are you doing?”
“What are you doing, in fact? Where are you going without an umbrella in this pouring rain?”
“Don’t cut off my words slyly. Do you think I’m speaking formally because my tongue is long?”
Yoon Seo Ha retorted fiercely. Gyeong Joon could have responded more fiercely if he wanted to, but he just stared at Seo Ha silently.
She looked a mess. Her hair was soaking wet and frozen, but let’s just let that go. Her eye makeup, blurred by rain or tears, and her lips, which had turned a sickly purple instead of white, were so messed up that he couldn’t bear to look at her.
“Alright, Yoon Seo Ha.”
Gyeong Joon tried his best to hold back his disbelief and spoke as politely as possible.
“Let’s go together for now. If you catch a cold like this, the CEO will be very worried.”
“…Mom?”
Mentioning Kang Hae Sun seemed to have an effect. Gyeong Joon emphasized once more.
“Yes, Yoon Seo Ha’s mother.”
Yoon Seo Ha’s mascarastreaked eyelashes blinked a few times, and then suddenly, large teardrops rolled down her cheeks.
She was a woman who had grown up receiving only love, living in her own arrogant world. Gyeong Joon had wanted to see her flustered or crying at least once, but not like this.
He didn’t want to see her standing in the pouring winter rain instead of riding in a convertible with the top open, silently shedding tears.
“No, wait, Yoon Seo Ha.”
Feeling uneasy, Gyeong Joon hurriedly pulled a handkerchief from his coat pocket and offered it to her. As expected, Seo Ha didn’t take it.
“Stop crying, please. People will think I made you cry.”
Indeed, the passersby were all casting sidelong glances at the two of them. Gyeong Joon could feel the gazes treating him like trash.
He couldn’t explain to each and every one of them that he hadn’t made her cry, and that she was just crying on her own. It was a very unfair situation for Gyeong Joon.
“Who told the secretary to be here? You should have just kept going. Even now, just go away quickly.”
She was good at speaking, even when she couldn’t stop her tears. Gyeong Joon clicked his tongue in annoyance and turned away. But before he could take a few steps, murmurs from the surrounding people held him back.
“Ah, damn it.”
Having no choice, he quickly returned and firmly handed Seo Ha the umbrella she had been holding. While she hesitated in surprise, he shook the water out of her hair with the handkerchief and wiped her face, making her appearance somewhat better.
“Use this at least. Don’t catch a cold and bother the CEO.”
“Secretary Ryu.”
Fortunately, Yoon Seo Ha, who had stopped crying, spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
“Could you not say anything to my mom?”
“Of course.”
He had no intention of telling her in the first place. What did it matter to him if Yoon Seo Ha cried on the streets or performed headspins while busking? Even giving her an umbrella instead of pretending not to see was meddling he couldn’t understand.
Yet, Yoon Seo Ha treated Gyeong Joon as if he had done her a great favor and offered an illfitting expression of gratitude.
“Thank you.”
While her lips were purple from the cold, she even managed to show that annoyingly perfect smile.
Suddenly, his heart pounded annoyingly hard. He was curious about why this arrogant woman was crying pathetically on the streets.
He even felt the urge to take her to a warm place, change her into dry clothes, and offer her a sweet cup of hot chocolate if only she’d willingly follow him.
What was he thinking?
Gyeong Joon quickly walked away in the opposite direction before his mind could become any more confused. He barely resisted the urge to look back several times.
Soon, Gyeong Joon’s tall figure and fluttering coat disappeared among the colorful umbrellas. Seo Ha tightly gripped the umbrella he had left behind, still warm from his touch, and muttered quietly to herself.
“… How embarrassing.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
