As evening approached, Haeyeon returned home and washed away her fatigue. Entering the study to resume her unfinished research, she remembered Do-ha’s message.
“Wait for me tonight, don’t prepare dinner.”
Her mood lightened at the thought of spending the evening with Do-ha. Eagerly anticipating their dinner together, Haeyeon resumed her research with a lighter heart.
Engrossed in her work, she didn’t notice the evening setting in until the room darkened. Startled, she stood up abruptly, and right on cue, the front door opened.
“Oh, you’re home?”
Greeting Do-ha cheerfully, she saw him hand her a plastic bag with a broad smile. Inside, Haeyeon found something that was not just any dinner but her favorite dish.
“Is this… stir-fried octopus?”
“You worked hard today.”
Do-ha tenderly brushed her hair aside, his deep smile warming Haeyeon’s heart.
“I love this.”
“I know, that’s why I got it. I also brought some soju, let’s eat together.”
Revealing a bottle of soju he had hidden, Do-ha’s playful gesture made Haeyeon laugh aloud.
Chiik[Dash]!
“It looks delicious, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, it smells amazing.”
The spicy aroma filled the kitchen. Adding some vegetables from the fridge, their appetites were whetted. Soon, the stir-fried octopus was served on the table.
“Congratulations on joining the workforce.”
Pouring her a drink, Do-ha raised a toast. The meal started with Haeyeon wearing a mischievous smile.
“You’re assuming I passed without me saying anything?”
“Of course, I believe in you. So, what’s the result?”
Heh[Dash], Haeyeon grinned broadly.
“I got in!”
Do-ha burst out laughing at her childlike exclamation. The happy news, delicious food, and alcohol brightened the atmosphere. Haeyeon, slightly tipsy, recounted her interview day to Do-ha, who watched her fondly.
Amidst their lively chatter, Haeyeon felt it was the right time to confess her afternoon visit to Daechi-dong.
“By the way, I went to Daechi-dong this afternoon.”
Haeyeon quickly added an apology upon seeing Do-ha’s expression harden.
“I’m sorry. You asked me to tell you in advance, but I went alone.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Do-ha’s face grew serious. Haeyeon forced a smile.
“You were busy, and I thought if we went together, your parents would oppose it.”
Do-ha sighed softly.
“You could’ve taken your time to tell me.”
Do-ha spoke softly, while Haeyeon felt a sting in her eyes. But she was determined not to be swayed by her in-laws anymore.
“It would have been opposed anyway. Mother actually gave her permission.”
“Mother did?”
Do-ha’s frown deepened in disbelief. Haeyeon whispered affectionately.
“Don’t worry too much. They’ve always been displeased with me doing nothing. They must be happy that I’m working.”
Do-ha remained silent, seemingly unsatisfied with the answer. The mood grew tense, but Haeyeon quickly changed the subject.
“How can it be so delicious? Where did you get it?”
“Our favorite place from college.”
Despite the obviously forced change in topic, Do-ha, seeing Haeyeon’s playful expression, finally gave in.
“Really? They’re still open?”
“Surprisingly, yes. I went there myself. It’s a gift for your new job.”
Under the kitchen lights, Haeyeon’s brown eyes widened.
“You bought this yourself, not through Secretary Kim?”
“Of course. It’s a gift for your first day at work.”
As dusk fell, Haeyeon returned home, weary. After a refreshing shower, she headed to the study to continue her research but remembered Do-ha’s message.
“Wait for me tonight, don’t cook dinner.”
This thought brightened her mood. Looking forward to dinner with Do-ha, Haeyeon continued her work with a lighter heart. Absorbed in her research, she lost track of time until the evening darkness reminded her. Startled, she stood up, and at that moment, the front door opened.
“Oh, you’re back?”
Greeting Do-ha with joy, she saw him hand her a plastic bag, smiling warmly. Inside was a dish she loved – stir-fried octopus.
“Is this… stir-fried octopus?”
“You had a tough day today.”
Do-ha gently stroked her hair, his deep laughter warming her heart.
“I love this.”
“That’s why I brought it. And some soju too, let’s eat together.”
Revealing a bottle of soju, Do-ha’s playful action made Haeyeon laugh out loud.
Chiik[Dash]!
“It must be delicious.”
“Yes, the aroma is fantastic.”
Do-ha was right. The spicy smell filled the kitchen. They added some fresh vegetables, and the stir-fried octopus was served.
“Congratulations on becoming a working professional.”
As Do-ha filled her glass, Haeyeon’s face lit up with a teasing smile.
“You assume I passed without me saying anything?”
“Of course, I trust you. So, how did it go?”
Heh[Dash], Haeyeon cheerfully exclaimed.
“I got in!”
Do-ha’s laughter at her childlike joy filled the room. The delicious food, good news, and alcohol made for a lively atmosphere. Haeyeon, slightly tipsy, recounted her interview day to an affectionately listening Do-ha.
