Even though he said he understood, those who have never fallen to the ground can never know.
“I don’t want to miss the present.”
Now she knew the reason for her hesitation. With just the feeling of being good in front of the harsh reality, it wasn’t enough.
Survival on this ground was like that. They met each other, and even if they met and failed, cutting it off was nothing in their world. That’s why Haejin could make a decision.
Knowing she wouldn’t try to climb higher anymore, she understood that the pain of falling from a tall tree is great.
“It seems like we have to stop here.”
Taehong, who had been listening quietly, grimaced.
“No, we have to.”
Although his expression was changing in real-time, she eventually put a period at the end of her words.
“What does that mean?”
He seemed to have no intention of understanding. No, it was more accurate to say that he didn’t think there was a need to understand. He asked even though he knew everything. He was speaking to convince himself, not to explain.
“As I mentioned before, I am a parachute brought in by Chairman.”
“I said I would cut the rope.”
Taehong pushed the glass aside and raised his arm, from which blood vessels were pulsating.
“No. There’s no need for that.”
It must be firm. There should be no hesitation. It’s best to end it here without showing a pitiful sight.
“I want to work for the money I received. I don’t want to include any personal emotions in it.”
Finding the appropriate position, meeting people of the same rank. Having lived that way, he will continue to live that way in the future.
Already, he has tasted that flavor, but he slipped in that world. Knowing that people have predetermined pairs, he shouldn’t be greedy.
He was that kind of person.
“Honestly, I like it.”
This was the minimum courtesy for expressing emotions that he liked himself. It understands that expressing honest emotions as felt is not trampling on his feelings.
“In every action I shared with the team leader, there were emotions. It wasn’t impulse or mistakes.”
“But what on earth is the problem.”
As much as Haejin, he was also maintaining composure. Of course, he knew that the blood vessels that were popping out were gradually becoming darker. But everything on the surface looked calm.
“But now it’s time to wake up from the dream.”
The business trip was like a dream on a midsummer night. On the last day, she remembered sitting on the bench and looking up at the night sky. Looking at the countless twinkling stars, she wondered if this was reality or a dream.
“When you entered the house, I knew. It’s time to wake up from the fantasy.”
So, with this cold glass of water, she hoped to pull your emotions deep into your heart. She hoped to extinguish the spark that was about to ignite.
“Designated substitute.”
Taehong’s voice was as cold as the chilled water.
“Is that all you can do?”
He, too, could see that something was pressing on him.
“Even though I’m the daughter of the Zion Group, I was expecting a little.”
Usually, he responded in a steady manner, but now he couldn’t say anything to his words.
“I know the situation on this ground well.”
That was the conclusion because he knew it well.
“It’s not easy to meet a man like me, right?”
“Of course.”
“Do you want to miss the opportunity to roll down?”
“Yes. Because I know it well, I’m saying this.”
In the end, Haejin poured out.
“Zion is an incomparable company to Yeonchang. Now that it’s ruined, that won’t work either.”
“So.”
When asked to do more with a fist bump, Haejin clenched her teeth and continued.
“Establishing a relationship like a merger and acquisition is the way it works on this ground. And I’m already a person who was eliminated in the bidding process.”
Taehong’s eyebrows twitched. What she just said didn’t sit well with him.
“I will cherish it as a good memory. After this moment, I won’t have any emotions.”
Having poured everything out, Haejin felt a sense of emptiness. Taehong looked at her quietly. And he brought the pushed-aside glass and drank it in one gulp.
“So, that’s why you said you’re giving water?”
Taehong’s voice felt soft, but she quickly realized it was a big mistake.
“First, I acknowledge the strange ability of Designated Substitute to make people thirsty.”
Taehong pushed the empty glass aside again, placed his hands with the thumbs tucked on the table, and his half-bowed upper body towards Haejin felt particularly threatening.
“Second, Designated Substitute is not a commodity.”
The fixed pupils on Taehong couldn’t catch the thread. He was more serious than ever.
“Pupils cannot lie.”
Since the gaze couldn’t be hidden, was it all visible in his eyes, forcing down emotions, and avoiding them?
“Third, this is a bit funny.”
Taehong moved his head left and right.
“I never intended to have a deep relationship with Designated Substitute. When a man and a woman have mutual feelings, confirm them, and as a result, it can deepen.”
Unlike Haejin’s reddened face, Taehong’s face seemed to gain more confidence.
“But my thoughts have changed a bit.”
What does that mean?
“I’m thinking of getting closer to Designated Substitute.”
“Team leader!”
Haejin called him urgently. However, Taehong seemed unwilling to answer her.
“I said it quite nicely, didn’t I.”
Taehong’s lips curled up sharply. Then he scissored with his fingers again.
“I should have said, ‘I’m going to cut it off, not cut it off.'”
Does it mean he won’t do gentlemanly actions that consider the other person anymore?
“Yes. Designated Substitute seems to be managing it well on her own.”
He seemed to be saying that he won’t give up.
“I’ll try to cut it off well.”
In the end, he was saying that he had no intention of yielding to his feelings towards her.
“And Haejin, catching me is maintaining happiness.”
He was saying why don’t you know the well-known principle.
“You drank the water well.”
Taehong, who tapped the table twice, showed a kind and artificial smile and then got up from his seat without any lingering feelings.
It didn’t disappear like a dream on a midsummer night. He was saying that he would make it a reality.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
