“No. I’ll just stay here alone for a while, so you can leave.”
“Who did you come with?”
A thin voice tinged with dissatisfaction prompted an unexpected question.
Yuin hesitated, but seeing his indifferent face, she honestly replied.
“…My sister.”
The man, who had been looking at the small screen, now looked down at Yuin with his unfathomable black eyes and asked.
“Just the two of you?”
“Yes.”
“Have you finished eating?”
“Yes.”
“Then are you going home now?”
“Not really… But why have you been interrogating me since last time?”
Yuin, who had been diligently answering, suddenly realized and let out a slight annoyance.
The man, having apparently finished his business with the phone, casually tossed it on the table, smiled broadly with his slender eyes.
“Why do you answer everything? Makes me want to ask more.”
“Is that my fault?”
“Is it my fault then?”
“If you didn’t ask, I wouldn’t have to answer.”
“If you didn’t want to, you could just not answer.”
What was this all about? Yuin, feeling like she was dealing with a child, snorted in disbelief and resigned herself.
Despite the trust she had formed, this man, who acted capriciously and made no sense, was a loss the more she dealt with him.
Hoping her drained legs would recover, she looked down at her knees, but the man, still wearing a smile, suddenly asked.
“Aren’t you curious about anything? I’ll answer anything.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Hm, why not? We’ve met three times already.”
His voice, seemingly disappointed, made Yuin just roll her eyes, but his lips, contrary to what he said, didn’t seem upset or angry.
He was truly a strange and enigmatic man.
Unable to figure him out, Yuin decided to leave it as a question mark, just like the existence of this man who occasionally emerged from the depths where she had buried him during the passing spring.
Unfortunately, they met once more today like coincidence, but surely, this would be the end. She wanted to remain nothing to each other, not knowing his name or where he lived.
Whether he knew her feelings or not, the man, watching the small head turned away, chuckled lightly and then leaned slightly on the table, starting a low conversation.
“How have you been since then?”
“…Fine.”
“What have you been up to?”
“Just, going to school…”
“University? Which one?”
“Sunhyeon University.”
It was then that Yuin realized how foolish she was, answering his questions again.
“Ah.” She let out a sigh, rolling her uncertain eyes, while the man, finding it hilariously funny, laughed out loud with his dark eyes shining brightly.
Yuin, feeling embarrassed by the man’s pleasant low laughter, quickly turned her head away.
“Are you angry?”
“No.”
“Then let me see your face.”
“Why? I don’t want to.”
Her voice was firm in refusal, the clearest she had spoken so far.
After that, the man didn’t reply, and the room became so quiet that even breathing was barely audible.
Suddenly, the man’s long fingers reached out and gently gripped Yuin’s chin, pulling her face towards him.
“You don’t really dislike it.”
“Ah, really—”
Startled by the unexpected touch, Yuin paused mid-reaction. The bright light above the man’s head dazzled her eyes, momentarily blinding her.
As her vision cleared, she saw his immaculate vest and tie and a face with a lazy smile.
Her wonder at his laughter faded instantly, replaced by an overwhelming sight of his harmoniously crafted features, like a meticulously created masterpiece.
Beneath half-closed eyelids, his obsidian eyes emitted an inescapable allure.
For a few seconds, Yuin blinked, mesmerized, as his cool hand gently brushed her flushed cheek.
“Yuin, you’re warm.”
His husky voice was intimate, almost clinging to her ears.
Struck by a strange unfamiliarity in his ordinary tone, Yuin abruptly snapped back to reality, visibly flustered.
It was just like before. Under the streetlights at dawn, she had fallen for his wide, incongruous smile.
“Why do you touch someone else’s face?”
Sharp with a flash of apprehension, she pushed his hand away. The man easily backed off.
Yuin shot him a disgruntled look, then turned her head away, biting her lips at the creeping unease.
Being with this man, her life’s straight path seemed to deviate slightly, an unsettling feeling she couldn’t shake off.
For Yuin, this was a fatal and unwelcome sign.
“You seem better now.”
“I was fine all along.”
Despite her curt response, a faint smile lingered in the man’s eyes.
“Check your wrist tomorrow and see a doctor.”
“It’s not that bad.”
“Don’t be so sure. You’re not a doctor, Yuin.”
His playful tone suddenly turned stern, but Yuin avoided looking at him.
The man, silently observing her subdued protest, chuckled softly.
“Let’s go now. Your sister must be waiting.”
At the mention of her sister, Yuin got up abruptly and quickly left the waiting room-like space, harshly opening the door to the corridor.
The man followed her in silence as they walked side by side down the hallway.
Without her phone, Yuin had no idea how much time had passed. As she hastened her steps, the man, following her quietly, spoke up.
“Yuin, aren’t you going to thank me today?”
“…”
“Really not going to.”
“…Thank you.”
Her gratitude was brief and without eye contact, but the man responded with a grin, his eyes narrowing playfully.
“But thanks won’t suffice anymore. What now?”
“What?”
Yuin faced the man, who seemed absurd and continuously irksome, with a bewildered expression.
Ignoring her reaction with a laugh, he pulled something out of his jacket pocket and placed it in Yuin’s hand.
“Call me if you’re really grateful.”
“Do we really need to go that far…”
Before she could finish, Yuin frowned and looked at the small, light blue piece of paper in her palm.
Her eyes widened in shock.
Staring intently at the small, stiff paper, Yuin’s astonishment was evident. The man, smiling at her stunned reaction, lightly tapped her frozen shoulder.
“Make sure you do. I have something to tell Yuin.”
“…”
“See you next time.”
Unable to watch the man walk away, Yuin was fixated on the small business card he had given her.
Ever since earlier, Yuin couldn’t take her eyes off the stiff blue paper. Written in elegant cursive was the name of a company, one that Yuin knew all too well.
It was Ilrang Entertainment, and the card belonged to the Executive Director, Do Giyeon.
Ilrang Entertainment was the agency to which Yuin’s sister, Nam Yujin, belonged.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
