After overhearing Jae Oh and Chae Yoon’s conversation, Ho Yeon, struggling to move her wobbly legs, reached the place where her car was parked and rested her hand on her throbbing forehead.
Her head was still spinning.
“For now, it seems like taking care of my body is the best option,” she muttered.
There was only one reason why she had come all the way here, despite what Kyung Hee had said.
She wanted to see his face in person and convey her decision to take charge of the TK Tower project.
She had come hoping to engage in conversation, but instead of seeing Jae Oh’s face, she ended up only listening to his conversation with Chae Yoon.
She had imagined so much.
What would it be like if Han Jae Oh were in love?
Would his demeanor be similar to what he showed on the surface, or would he be unexpectedly affectionate?
She had imagined countless scenarios, but the voice she had heard earlier shattered all her previous imaginings.
“Chae Yoon.”
Thinking of the tender tone as if her ears were melting, Ho Yeon’s expression darkened.
“Team leader, are you okay?”
Seeing Ho Yeon looking unwell, her secretary who had come down from the car approached her.
Ho Yeon pushed away the secretary’s hand trying to support her and climbed into the back seat of the car.
With a thud, the door closed.
In the enclosed space away from the gaze of people, Ho Yeon finally let out her true feelings.
Closing her eyes in frustration, she recalled what Jae Oh had said again.
“Indeed, who only says such beautiful words?”
Ho Yeon’s lips formed a new curse as if chewing on it.
She sighed in frustration and ran her hand through her hair.
“Ugh…”
When she realized that Jae Oh’s heart was directed towards Song Chae Yoon, the situation was unfolding differently from her expectations. It was regrettable that things were not going as planned, and it was disappointing to know that the woman he liked wasn’t her. However, she still thought it wasn’t too late.
Song Chae Yoon was considering a divorce, and it hadn’t been long since they had become close.
Even after spending three years together, she couldn’t help but wonder if something had changed between them during that time.
However, their circumstances were different from what she had expected.
“I should hold back… But strangely, I can’t control myself after just doing it once.”
Han Jae Oh was deeply in love with Song Chae Yoon, and Song Chae Yoon was not pushing him away.
It was a clear misjudgment.
No one can guarantee what happens between a man and a woman, but even though she knew that it takes only a few seconds to capture someone’s heart, she believed that there was nothing between them.
She was wrong. Her heart, exhausted from years of chasing after Jae Oh, had deployed its defenses.
Frustrated by her desire to have a man like Han Jae Oh, her face crumpled as she listened to that kind of conversation, blinded by her emotions.
Her head hurt too much.
In this situation where she wanted to forget reality, what she needed was a large amount of alcohol and a man.
She decided on her next move and said, “Cancel all the upcoming appointments.”
She took out her phone from her bag and sent a message.
“Let’s meet today.”
The response came quickly.
“You hardly ever contact me. What’s going on? Where should we go?”
Ho Yeon entered the meeting place.
The car carrying her started to move.
[Star icon]Chae Yoon’s eyes showed a puzzled look as she watched Jae Oh, who got up from his seat without finishing his drink.
“Why are you suddenly like this?”
Chae Yoon tilted her head in confusion as she watched Jae Oh’s back as he entered his room.
Until they came home and had dinner, everything seemed normal.
However, during their conversation while having drinks, out of nowhere, he asked if their house wasn’t too big, and without waiting for her response, he began inspecting every nook and cranny of the house, insisting that a thorough cleaning was needed.
Jae Oh’s sudden behavior left Chae Yoon puzzled as she approached him.
“Why are you suddenly so obsessed with cleaning?”
“You said it’s difficult for you to clean.”
“Where did you hear that Grandfather sends someone regularly to provide side dishes and manage the house?”
Even with the explanation that it was just an idea, Jae Oh remained unfazed.
Instead, he headed towards the guest room where he had spent the night, and as he turned to speak, Chae Yoon couldn’t dispel her confusion and had to follow him.
“How did those people get in here?”
“Do you have a key card?”
“Do you know the password?”
“No.”
“Really? What’s the password?”
Chae Yoon, who was about to casually mention the password, suddenly stopped speaking.
She recalled what Jae Oh had done right after entering this house today.
Upon realizing this, Chae Yoon’s round eyes narrowed.
“Why do you need to know?”
Jae Oh’s gaze lowered.
Seeing his eyes glance at her suspiciously, she extended her lips and responded, “Knowing it might be very helpful in case of an emergency.”
The gradually curling corners of her mouth were charming.
