Woo-Jong, looking troubled as if there was an urgent matter, whispered to Jae-O.
Hearing Woo-Jong’s report, Jae-O’s expression grew
‘So he’s capable of such expressions too.’
Meanwhile, Jae-O, oblivious to how Chae-Yoon was looking at him, didn’t relax his furrowed expression and moved forward. It was a move made without realizing Chae-Yoon was in front of him.
Chae-Yoon quietly watched Jae-O as he was about to leave the room immediately after the report. Woo-Jong, who was standing beside Jae-O, blinked rapidly.
Caught in an unintentional situation of interrupting the two, he spoke in an embarrassed tone, “Uh, Director Jae-O, Madam…”
Jae-O stopped.
“Ah.”
Temporarily forgetting Chae-Yoon’s presence, Jae-O turned his head and looked at her. Their eyes met.
Chae-Yoon, realizing Jae-O had forgotten her and was leaving, told him, “It seems you have urgent work, you better go.”
She smiled faintly, as if to say she was okay.
At Chae-Yoon’s words, Jae-O lightly nodded his head once and hastened his halted steps, quickly disappearing from her view.
Click. The door closed.
Left alone in the spacious room, a soft sigh escaped Chae-Yoon’s lips.
Next Wednesday was her graduation day.
She had always been alone, but since it was the final chapter of her college life, she had hoped Jae-O would be with her. She had gathered her last bit of courage, but…
“…”
Bitterness crept onto Chae-Yoon’s lips as she looked at the unopened lunchbox.
‘Will he even eat it later? If I take it with me, he might not even notice it’s gone. Should I just take it back?’
As these thoughts spread, a shadow fell over her pale face.
Feeling her heart heavy and her mood sinking, Chae-Yoon suddenly shook her head vigorously.
‘No, think positively.’
Why worry when I came here unannounced?
But still, because of this visit, she got to see him at work, didn’t she? Even if he couldn’t think of her due to urgent work, maybe when he comes home, he might ask what she wanted to say at the office.
Comforting her sinking heart, Chae-Yoon glanced around his office once more before leaving.
The empty office was left with only the lunchbox Chae-Yoon had brought.
[Star Icon]Two months passed.
“Wow, I didn’t expect us to win the JM project bid. Congratulations, Director Jae-O.”
The project Jae-O had been working on diligently had borne fruit, and he was quite satisfied with the outcome.
Deciding to leave on time to boast to Ji-Pil, Jae-O got into his car to head home. With a relaxed mind, he recalled a phrase.
“Ah…”
He hadn’t yet asked her.
What was it that she wanted to say when she came to visit?
Suddenly thinking of Chae-Yoon, Jae-O quietly recollected when exactly she had said those words.
‘That time was…’
When Chae-Yoon came to the office, it was right after he had received the report about the leakage of documents related to new technology development due to a collaborator’s mistake. That meant…
“Has it been two months already?”
Jae-O’s brows narrowed in surprise at the realization that two months had passed.
‘Why does time fly so fast?’
As he lamented the swift passage of time, the image of Chae-Yoon’s pale face surfaced in his mind.
‘I haven’t seen her since then.’
Jae-O decided that when he got home today, he would ask her what she wanted to say back then.
His foot pressed harder on the accelerator.
The speed of the car heading home increased.
But upon arrival, Chae-Yoon was not there.
“Hasn’t Chae-Yoon come back yet?”
Jae-O asked Ji-Pil about Chae-Yoon’s whereabouts, as she was nowhere to be seen in the house.
“Where did she go?”
Despite seeing his grandson at this hour, which was rare, Ji-Pil showed no sign of surprise and answered.
“Why are you asking me? Call Chae-Yoon yourself.”
Then he disappeared into his room, leaving Jae-O to wonder for a moment before calling Chae-Yoon.
The call didn’t connect immediately.
As the ringing prolonged, Jae-O, who had little patience, was about to hang up when Chae-Yoon’s voice came through.
“Hello?”
“Where are you?”
“Why?”
“I came home, and you’re not here.”
“Oh, I’m out for a bit… Oh? My sister’s here. Brother, I have to hang up.”
The call abruptly ended.
“Hey… What? Hello?”
No matter how many times he checked, the call had been disconnected.
His expression, while looking at the disconnected call screen, seemed a bit incredulous, but his mind was replaying the brief conversation.
“Did I just hear someone else’s voice in between her words…?”
The thought that it might have been a man’s voice made his brows furrow slightly.
“…”
His gaze at the now brightened phone screen sharpened peculiarly.
[Star Icon]Chae-Yoon, having parked her car in the garage, sighed in relief.
“Phew…”
Her slender and straight fingers gently stroked the steering wheel, bringing a sense of accomplishment to her face.
“Another safe drive today.”
The car Chae-Yoon was driving was the one she got right after obtaining her driver’s license. It was a gift from Ji-Pil, and she had recently started enjoying driving it.
Although she hadn’t gathered the courage to go on long drives yet, she felt confident that she could soon go on outings to nearby places with her close friends. Smiling at this thought, she got out of the car.
“Oh? It’s brother’s car.”
She hadn’t noticed while parking, but upon getting out, she saw Jae-O’s car. The sight reminded her of the conversation she had with him earlier.
“Right, he said he was home.”
The current time was 9 PM.
Chae-Yoon thought he had come home earlier than expected and proceeded to walk.
After greeting Ji-Pil, she headed to her room on the second floor, but suddenly stopped.
Her round head turned towards Jae-O’s study.
‘He must be working again, right?’
Anticipating with 100% certainty that he would be, Chae-Yoon nonchalantly opened the door and headed straight to the dressing room.
“Where have you been?”
A low voice halted her steps.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
