The moment when Jaeo asks Hyunmin a question.
As Chaeyoon came out of the restaurant, she spotted Eunha.
“Unni.”
The moment Chaeyoon’s voice was heard, a long sigh escaped Eunha’s lips.
It wasn’t that she didn’t support Chaeyoon’s choice. She wasn’t Chaeyoon’s parent, and she, a complete stranger, had no right to treat the man Chaeyoon chose with hostility.
Moreover, about two months ago, after receiving a call from Jaeo, she had even thought that they would eventually connect.
However, now that she saw Jaeo, who had taken Chaeyoon’s side in less than a month, there was a strange sense of discomfort.
If it were the Song Chaeyoon she knew, instead of holding a grudge, she would have probably said, “I’m sorry” and nodded in agreement with Jaeo’s words that she would do well in the future.
Knowing that, it was an unnecessary action.
When there were only Chaeyoon and herself, it was fine, but every time they met, she felt a bit uncomfortable. So, she treated Jaeo as if he didn’t exist. Even her dull-witted younger sister couldn’t tolerate that.
Eunha, who let out a sigh involuntarily, looked at Chaeyoon standing next to her after glancing at her.
“Sorry. I keep having a fever when I see Director Han.”
Without responding to Eunha’s apology, Chaeyoon just smiled.
Seeing that, Eunha, who wondered how Chaeyoon received Jaeo, narrowed her eyes and shot her words.
“Sorry. Did your Director Han receive you like this too?”
Chaeyoon’s eyes widened at Eunha’s words.
“What do you mean?”
“It means you’re too docile. Why?”
The sound that she had been hearing as if someone was scratching her ears came out.
However, the voice saying those words was the same as usual, so Chaeyoon elegantly twisted her eyes and looked at Eunha.
“Unni, is your mood better now?”
Eunha took her lips and received it.
“Were you afraid I’d tell you not to see Director Han?”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then why didn’t you contact me?”
After a moment of silence, Chaeyoon answered in a small voice.
“I didn’t think of Unni. I really didn’t think of anything this time.”
It was an unexpected answer. Eunha’s eyes turned deep red.
Looking at Eunha, who seemed surprised by her words, Chaeyoon spoke again.
“Until now, every time something happened, you were the first thing that came to mind, but this time, I really didn’t think of anything.”
Eunha’s breath came out as a sigh again.
“Do you really like Director Han?”
A question that was awkward to answer came up.
Chaeyoon nodded slightly and spoke her mind.
“Yeah. I like him.”
Her face showed uncertainty about what to do with her feelings. Seeing her deeply immersed in love for the first time, Eunha unconsciously covered her mouth with her hand, surprised.
“Oh my, what’s going on? Hey, Miss Song Chaeyoon. Your jaw might get stuck.”
Upon hearing this, Chaeyoon’s smile widened even more.
With a smile like a fully bloomed flower, Chaeyoon, holding Eunha’s arm, brought up what she wanted to say.
“That’s right. I like him so much that my jaw might get stuck. So, Unni, stop sulking and get along well with Jaeo oppa.”
How long has it been since she got along well with him?
She still hasn’t given an answer to the suggestion that she should get along well with him.
“I hope Oppa gets along well with Unni and Manager Lim. Okay?”
Even with Eunha avoiding the question with a jest, Chaeyoon redirected the conversation.
“Do you like Mr. Han?”
“Yeah.”
“So, did you say thank you and accept it?”
Chaeyoon’s eyes narrowed sharply. That sound again.
“No.”
“What do you mean, ‘no’? Even if it’s written all over your face, ‘I’ll accept almost anything written here, like getting struck on the face, please,’ I did that. You…”
Ignoring Chaeyoon’s pointed gaze, Eunha started her usual nagging.
Though Chaeyoon’s ear felt a bit itchy, she knew that this was all because Eunha cared about her, so she didn’t interrupt Eunha’s nagging.
Returning to her seat, they found Jaeo and Hyunmin engaged in a conversation.
The atmosphere during the meal was somewhat different from before.
Feeling a lightening of her heavy heart, Chaeyoon, who was in a good mood, looked at them with a strange expression.
After they returned to their seats, Jaeo and Hyunmin were still talking.
The atmosphere for the meal that followed was quite different.
Chaeyoon, feeling her heavy heart lightening, knew that Eunha’s words had something to do with her, so she didn’t interrupt Eunha’s nagging.
As they returned to their seats, Jaeo and Hyunmin were still engaged in conversation.
After a brief farewell, the car carrying Eunha and Hyunmin left.
Waving her hand, Chaeyoon, who had finished seeing them off, looked at Jaeo behind her.
He was standing with a deeply contemplative expression, pondering something.
“Oppa.”
At the sound of Chaeyoon calling him, Jaeo’s eyes responded.
After locking eyes with him, Chaeyoon subtly brought up what happened with Eunha.
“A little while ago, Eunha unni said something to you…”
“It’s okay. Don’t worry.”
“…Really.”
“Yeah. You’ve finished eating, haven’t you?”

One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:

It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.

2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.

3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
