She tightly held the collar of the shower gown. Song Kang had come upstairs not to be intrusive but to inquire about the size to provide her with spare underwear after she showered.
“What’s the matter?”
Don’t you lack clothes to wear?
Line hesitated, then pushed the clothes she held into the bathroom and told Song Kang to come in. Song Kang cautiously opened the door and entered.
Although no one had said anything, Line unnecessarily pulled her legs together, twisted her body, and turned her head into the air. Suddenly, she glanced at him with a sidelong glance, then turned her head back abruptly.
“You’ve dried your hair, put on your clothes… I haven’t prepared anything yet… What should I do if you come in like this all of a sudden?”
He didn’t raise his forehead as he did when he went to work, but even in comfortable home clothes, he looked remarkably stylish.
He was neat, even in the comfortable clothes he wore at home. Seeing him so relaxed made Line’s face even redder, as if they were only together in a private space.
“I told you to come in, and you act like this?”
Song Kang looked at Line with an expression that showed he had a lot to say. Line even thought she was shameless.
Song Kang brought underwear and pajamas in Line’s size. Line quickly put on the underwear and pajamas, hiding her body.
Line called Song Kang and asked where the hairdryer was. Line searched for the hairdryer but couldn’t find it. In the end, Song Kang came back upstairs and personally found the hairdryer for her.
Sitting in front of the vanity, Line raised her weakened hand to dry her hair. Song Kang, who had never seen this, took the hairdryer away.
“Sit properly.”
“I can do it by myself~.”
“If you catch a cold like this, really…”
Line, who had nothing to say, sat quietly without further resistance. The warm wind blew, calming her mind.
Line glanced at Song Kang’s reflection in the mirror. As reason returned to him, Song Kang felt more sorry for Line. It seemed like the events today might be the consequence of lightly dismissing the warnings he had given.
“Do you have something to say?”
Like a thief caught in the act, Line lifted her head towards him but soon dropped her gaze.
“No…”
Song Kang also remained silent. He was still in a state where he couldn’t decide what to say.
“Why aren’t you saying anything, Director…?”
“I’m thinking about where things went wrong.”
Without a way to save face, Line bit her lower lip. Except for the incident where Joo Hyeok was stabbed, today was just an ordinary day for Line.
Given the nature of her work, such situations often arose. However, for Song Kang, it might be the first time experiencing such a thing in his life.
“I’m sorry… really sorry…”
Line murmured with a voice that sounded like crawling.
“What did you say?”
Song Kang genuinely didn’t hear due to the noise of the hairdryer. Thinking that he was doing it on purpose, Line lifted her head.
“I don’t have anything to say.”
Song Kang temporarily turned off the hairdryer and looked down at Line.
“I apologize… I said.”
Line stuck her head out, then dropped her eyes.
“I still don’t intend to let go of my anger.”
It was uncomfortable, to say the least, that it was Prosecutor Choi Joo Hyeok who got stabbed instead of Line.
But going back in time and being in that position instead of Prosecutor Choi was impossible. Song Kang sighed deeply.
“Director… Can’t you just get angry and let it out?”
Because he didn’t say it directly, it made her more afraid.
“What kind of love affair is that house?”
“What?”
Not knowing English, Line looked at Song Kang again.
“Since everyone comes and goes, isn’t the security easily breached?”
“No one comes and goes. Except for Senior Juhyeok, no one knows the password.”
With that explanation, Song Kang’s heart became even more like a thorny field. Line, looking at Song Kang’s expression, realized that keeping her mouth shut was the best option.
“And earlier at the police station, it was about the culprit. Isn’t that the person who tried to commit murder? Would someone jump into such a risky situation? Is it a habit from your prosecutor days?”
Under his sharp questioning, Line couldn’t make any reply. Nevertheless, if he were to get angry, Line thought it might be better.
Song Kang sighed deeply and turned on the hairdryer again.
“Director, by the way, why do you dry your hair so well like this?”
Line, trying to change the subject with nonsense, didn’t want to mention that Song Kang had improved his skills through volunteer work.
“Director, it must be hard. I’ll do it now~.”
Line reached out towards the hairdryer. Seeing Line’s extended hand, Song Kang showed a look of reservation. Line closed her mouth again and sat quietly.
As Line’s hair became fluffy, Song Kang lowered the hairdryer. Sitting on the vanity, he crossed his arms and looked at Line.
The image of Line clinging and crying while saying, “Even if you act like a cat, you’ll leave like a cat,” passed through Song Kang’s mind. It was a big problem why he didn’t hate her despite her annoying actions.
Song Kang sighed deeply again. At the sound of his sigh, Line’s shoulders tensed.
Song Kang massaged Line’s shoulders. Line huddled with an arrogant expression.
“Uh~ I’m fine.”
“With your shoulders tightened like a rock, what’s fine? If I don’t loosen it in time, you’ll suffer later.”
He wanted to completely loosen her stiff shoulders, but seeing her in so much pain, he couldn’t massage any longer.
“You know how much evil you’ve done. You’ll get a body ache. You must have been very surprised. Rest well.”
After Song Kang saw Line lying on the bed and turned off the light.

really disliked him
