“I’ll go greet them, Manager Jeong, please have something to eat.”
As the party matured, people gathered around Taehong. Thanks to that, Haejin was just as distracted.
Taehong constantly introduced Haejin, and thanks to that, Haejin was busy greeting people. If the thick stack of business cards she brought began to run out, it would be the end.
Being nervous and wearing high-heeled shoes made her legs ache.
“I’ll be right back.”
A man Taehong had known for a long time came up to him and brought someone to introduce. Thanks to that, Haejin had some time to rest.
“I just had something sweet.”
When Haejin reached out to scoop up dessert, someone else grabbed it first. Because it happened so quickly, Haejin tried to pick up a different dessert nearby without feeling too bothered. However, it was snatched away again.
Haejin’s gaze turned to the owner of the hand.
“I like this too.”
Seo Woo, with her eyes slightly curved and a relaxed posture, stood there.
“Can you scoop me one?”
Whether it was then or now, she lacked courtesy.
“It’s okay. Please, have a lot, Director Jeon.”
Haejin only wanted to leave the place. There was no reason to smile and talk with her.
“Well then, excuse me.”
Although she thought she should go back and find a place to sit for a moment, Seo Woo seemed to have no intention of giving in.
“Aren’t you asking too stiffly?”
Seo Woo grabbed Haejin’s shoulders with force. Oh, it hurts too much. Instinctively, her face crumpled.
“Stop it.”
In the moment when she was about to say, “Please,” Seo Woo’s hand dropped first.
“This one still hasn’t come to his senses.”
When did she arrive? Taehong’s handsome face, which had been elegant, turned fierce. Seo Woo twisted her wrist, holding it firmly.
“Hey, hey. Taehong, let’s talk.”
Seo Woo’s tail pointed endlessly toward the floor. But, instead, Taehong firmly held Seo Woo’s wrist.
“That’s just talk. Communication is essential.”
Were they on familiar terms, or for some reason, strong words came out of his mouth? It was not clear why such strong words were coming from him.
“Team Leader, please stop.”
Moreover, people’s attention began to focus. He shouldn’t be marked as someone who spoiled someone else’s feast. There should be no blemish on Taehong’s image.
Moreover, violence was even more unacceptable. Haejin subtly untangled Taehong’s hand holding Seo Woo’s wrist. Only then did Seo Woo’s hand, which Taehong had been holding firmly, release smoothly.
“There are many eyes watching.”
Haejin murmured carefully, as if she were speaking only to Taehong. Seo Woo’s gaze looked at the two in a strange way.
“We probably won’t see each other again.”
“Is that so? I don’t remember agreeing to that.”
Could it be you who set the record for my first day at work? She concentrated on their conversation with her own imagination and conjecture.
“You should keep it in check, Seo Woo.”
Even in their short conversation, Taehong’s voice had a power to subdue people. Especially, the endlessly lowering bass had something that made the other party shudder.
“Taehong.”
Seo Woo swept her hair back and leaned slightly toward Taehong. Taehong showed no reaction, but Haejin was ready to burst out at any moment.
However, Seo Woo turned her gaze towards Haejin, who was much smaller than Taehong.
“Why do I keep feeling awkward in front of you?”
It seemed like she was saying that it was because of herself at the end of her gaze. Haejin found herself looking at Taehong without realizing it.
Why is it that the person I find at this moment is Taehong?
Taehong still stared at Seo Woo piercingly. And his hand grabbed Haejin’s shoulder. To be precise, it was the position Seo Woo had tightly gripped.
“There is a type of people in the world that annoys me the most.”
Unlike the infinitely soft touch that reached Haejin, the words spat out towards Seo Woo were fierce.
Then it happened. Taehong tapped Seo Woo’s shoulder a couple of times. It felt like he was saying it’s okay, just trust yourself; at least, Haejin wanted to interpret it that way.
With his index finger, Taehong lightly touched one of Seo Woo’s shoulders. Seo Woo’s expression quickly became filled with discomfort.
“That’s you.”
Again, with a tap, this time a bit stronger, the shoulder was pushed back slightly.
“Exactly you.”
Taehong finished speaking and gently brushed Seo Woo’s shoulder. It meant to disappear like dust.
Thinking that things might get worse if they stayed longer, Haejin pulled Taehong’s arm. If they stayed longer, it was only a matter of time before their argument spread throughout the gathering like a snowball.
“Let’s go somewhere else.”
Those who had experienced it knew. In such gatherings, attention tended to lean more towards the negative side than the positive side.
“Know your place,” she thought, as she had received such subtly disapproving glances many times before. Avoiding unnecessary attention was the best course of action.
Just when she thought the nerve-wracking confrontation was over, Seo Woo was clueless.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
