All movement stopped, except for Chae Yoon.
In the silence where not even a breath could be heard, with Ji Pil and Jae Oh’s attention focused on her, Chae Yoon cautiously raised her eyes and looked at Jae Oh.
Carefully, the gaze was gentle, but the eyes that held it were full of determination.
“Did you see the divorce papers I left in the study? Please fill them out quickly.”
Upon hearing the firm intention to divorce as soon as possible, Jae Oh clenched his teeth unknowingly.
His gaze was stiffened like his jaw muscles, full of strength, looking at Chae Yoon.
Chae Yoon read the emotion that swept over his face, but considered it insignificant.
She figured he was just surprised by what she said, making such a face, and soon he’d be okay. Chae Yoon, thinking this, rolled her eyes from looking at Jae Oh and stared at the pen.
Not as much as Jae Oh, but seeing the surprised Ji Pil also made her uncomfortable.
‘You probably didn’t know I would leave this soon.’
Knowing that she couldn’t stay in the house any longer, Chae Yoon tried to ignore her discomfort and voice her thoughts.
“The house……”
The cautious words couldn’t be completed.
“No.”
Jae Oh interrupted her.
At his decisive tone, Chae Yoon shifted her eyes to look at Jae Oh.
His dark pupils, which she came face to face with clearly, had a strange pressure in them.
An atmosphere that seemed to oppress people with just his gaze. This was something she had seen once when she visited his company.
She was quite surprised at seeing his expression, as if he would kill a disobedient vendor. He had never shown her such a look or gaze before.
But now, he was looking at her with a similar gaze as then.
Why?
She hadn’t made a big mistake like the vendor, nor had she said something inappropriate, so she didn’t understand why he was looking at her with such eyes. Chae Yoon, not understanding, looked straight at Jae Oh and spoke.
“I wasn’t asking for your approval.”
It was a rather cold tone. Jae Oh’s eyes hardened even more.
Though his gaze at Chae Yoon grew fierce, Chae Yoon did not avoid his eyes.
The two gazes met in midair and clashed tautly.
Jae Oh, staring at Chae Yoon’s eyes which showed no intention of avoidance, moved his mouth.
“Are you okay with grandfather staying at Song Chae Yoon’s hotel?”
When Jae Oh asked for Ji Pil’s opinion, Chae Yoon’s eyes widened in surprise.
Having read the minute reaction in her big eyes, Jae Oh finally turned his gaze from Chae Yoon and looked at Ji Pil, who had been watching the situation.
“I don’t mind, what about you.”
The voice awaiting an answer was so indifferent it felt emotionless, but his eyes looking at her weren’t.
Eyes seemingly pressing down hard on the swirling emotions.
It seemed confused due to the mix of all sorts of emotions, but one thing was clear.
Jae Oh was showing reluctance to let go of Chae Yoon.
He wasn’t exactly sure where this feeling was coming from, but it wasn’t bad.
“If there’s even a bit of emotion…”
Thinking it might be the last chance, Ji Phil subtly nodded in agreement.
“I also prefer having Chae Yoon by my side. It gives me peace of mind.”
As soon as Ji Phil finished his sentence, Jae Oh looked at Chae Yoon.
His eyes, having drawn out the answer he wanted from Ji Phil, were now asking what was to be done next.
Chae Yoon, who didn’t expect Jae Oh to react this way, looked taken aback. After smoothing her rough breath caused by her surprise, she spoke.
“It’s uncomfortable sharing a room with you when we’re about to get divorced…”
“Then use a different room.”
Whether he decided to cut her off, Jae Oh quickly provided a solution.
“Yeah, if that’s the reason, do it. It’s not like we don’t have rooms.”
When even Ji Phil chimed in, Chae Yoon was quite startled. Her large eyes started to noticeably tremble.
The ominous premonition she felt before entering to eat turned out to be right.
“I should’ve gone straight to work.”
Chae Yoon blamed her own dullness for falling for his indifferent expression.
But blaming the past wouldn’t change anything. Since the present was important, Chae Yoon swallowed a sigh and reiterated her opinion.
“No, I just want to leave.”
“Why.”
“I told you.”
“That’s why. I’ve provided all the solutions, haven’t I?”
His gaze, questioning what the problem was, was persistent. Besides, his lips that seemed ready to provide a fitting solution no matter what she said looked quite stubborn, causing Chae Yoon to momentarily lose her words.
‘Why is he acting this way all of a sudden?’
She had been a seemingly indifferent existence to him. Plus, he was under the misunderstanding that she was meeting Hyun Min. He should have just let her go. If he was the Han Jae Oh she knew.
However, he was trying to hold her back, even persuading Ji Phil by offering to let her use a separate room.
‘Why on earth?’
As she grew increasingly curious about why Jae Oh was trying to keep her from leaving, Ji Phil spoke.
“Let’s talk about this later, let’s eat first.”
At those words that sorted out the situation, Jae Oh resumed his halted meal.
Seeing him, Chae Yoon furrowed her brow before lowering her gaze to the white rice.
The glossy rice should have stimulated her appetite, but she had already lost her taste for food.
With a dry mouth, Chae Yoon put down the chopsticks she had been holding and took a sip of water.
Unaware of Jae Oh’s gaze on the chopsticks she had put down.
((()))
After an uncomfortable breakfast and rushing to the office to deal with urgent tasks, Chae Yoon’s face was full of worries.
‘To call? Or not to call?’
Chae Yoon was debating whether to call Jae Oh.
The reason she wanted to contact him was out of curiosity about what he was thinking, and the reason she didn’t want to contact him was the same as why she didn’t want to converse with him.
‘What should I do……’
While she was unable to decide and was just staring at her phone, the phone vibrated.
「Jae Oh Oppa」
Upon seeing Jae Oh’s name, Chae Yoon’s eyes widened in surprise.
