His overzealous kindness was burdensome to Ha-jin, who just wanted to get away.
“Ha-jin.”
Confused to hear her name called in such a place, Ha-jin was surprised to see Tae-hong standing behind the man who had moved aside.
“Ha-jin, what are you doing here?”
His voice and expression were cold, clearly not pleased with the situation.
“What? Uh, oh. He was just showing me how to use the equipment.”
Tae-hong moved closer to Ha-jin and laid his hand over the equipment she was holding.
“Who is this man to you?”
Tae-hong’s menacing gaze fell upon the man. The man awkwardly scratched his head, apologized, and quickly walked away.
Only after he had moved to the other side of the gym did Tae-hong step away from Ha-jin.
“So, Ha-jin doesn’t block the advances of men?”
His tone was filled with sarcasm and mockery. Ha-jin lost her intention to thank him.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Just something I noticed.”
Frustrated, Ha-jin retorted sharply.
“If I were that kind of woman, would I have spent an hour kissing you?”
The moment she shouted, she realized she was in a public gym, not a private room. She hastily covered her face with a towel and darted out of the gym, feeling everyone’s eyes on her. Tae-hong, however, watched her leave and chuckled for a while.
Throughout their journey to the next destination, Ha-jin didn’t speak to Tae-hong, only occasionally responding to his questions.
Ha-jin worried whether Tae-hong would think it odd that she counted the duration of their kiss. What if he thought she was someone who kissed just anyone?
All sorts of thoughts crossed her mind. Even while driving and while Tae-hong was asking questions, her mind was full of thoughts about the kiss.
“Ha-jin.”
Unlike her, Tae-hong was still rational, acting as if nothing had happened. Maybe that annoyed her even more.
Was she the only one feeling flustered? The only one feeling embarrassed? Kissing involves two people, not just one. She felt unjust but her pride prevented her from bringing it up first.
It was Ha-jin who had first mentioned the kiss, and Tae-hong hadn’t said anything about it.
“This next company requires more attention. It’s crucial for laying the foundation of the platform.”
Tae-hong was explaining the importance of the company, but Ha-jin’s response was lukewarm.
“Ha-jin?”
Only then did Ha-jin respond.
“Are you listening?”
“I am.”
“What did I just say?”
Ha-jin bit her lower lip. Honestly, she couldn’t remember. Her mind, filled with thoughts of the kiss, had been deflecting his words.
“I’m sorry. I was distracted for a moment.”
Ha-jin admitted reluctantly. Tae-hong put down the documents he was holding.
“Were you thinking about the kiss we shared for an hour?”
There was no need to pinpoint the time and act of the kiss. The more it was mentioned, the more it came to her mind.
“Not exactly like that.”
Ha-jin fumbled her words. To admit it seemed unfair. They both shared the kiss, so why should she bear all the embarrassment?
“Manager, I don’t quite understand.”
She had to ask. To properly conclude this business trip and carry out the project with him, she couldn’t continue with these feelings.
“So, about what we did in your room early this morning.”
“The kiss.”
“Yes, that kiss.”
Tae-hong still looked relaxed, observing her.
“Why am I the only one thinking deeply about it?”
It felt unfair. A clap needs two hands.
“Do you not feel anything, Manager?”
They had arrived at their next destination. She wondered if she was imagining the slight crack in his expression.
“Do I look indifferent to you?”
“Yes.”
After her short reply, Tae-hong let out a disbelieving laugh. Ha-jin had hoped for some kind of response, but heavy silence followed.
Suddenly, Tae-hong unbuckled his seat belt.
“Ha-jin.”
His low voice resonated. Ha-jin couldn’t bring herself to look at him, worried about what he might say.
What if he said it was a mistake? That it was just an accident? Could she brush it off lightly?
Could she act as if nothing had happened?
“It wasn’t an impulsive act.”
His voice, soft yet sincere, made her feel its authenticity. It might seem funny to talk about sincerity after just one kiss, but his eyes and expression said otherwise.
He was more serious than ever.
“The one feeling the most embarrassment is me.”
He was laying out his feelings openly and honestly.
It wasn’t just you who felt that way; we both clapped together.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
