“Is the meeting place far?”
Caught up in the documents, Chae Yoon didn’t look at Jae Oh as she replied,
“Not really far.”
“How are you getting there?”
“I was thinking of taking a taxi.”
His brows furrowed.
Choosing not to drive implied she was planning to drink.
Furthermore, the mention of “alcohol” brought to mind a memory of Chae Yoon laughing joyfully while intoxicated.
The thought of Chae Yoon being drunk and laughing like that out of his sight made him feel a burning sensation inside. He wanted to accompany her, but knew it wasn’t feasible.
Jae Oh, trying to suppress his feelings, said,
“Alright? I’ll drop you.”
“It’s fine.”
“Why?”
“You’re busy.”
Jae Oh’s brow creased slightly.
His past, where work always came first, came to mind. The bitter taste inside his mouth became pronounced as he spoke.
“From now on, work and you are separate matters.”
Chae Yoon, who had been intensely focused on the documents, looked up at Jae Oh.
Their eyes met, and as if trying to prevent regret from surfacing, Jae Oh clenched his teeth and said,
“Get in my car.”
Upon hearing this, Chae Yoon was momentarily taken aback and simply stared at him.
Seeing Chae Yoon’s silence, Jae Oh felt a dryness in his mouth.
Usually, in such situations, there was an 80% chance she would refuse.
So, before she could utter a word, he said,
“Please.”
For a moment, Chae Yoon’s eyes widened.
Please?
The unfamiliar tone and expression almost made her burst into laughter.
Trying to hide the hint of a smile that crept up, Chae Yoon turned her head away quickly.
“Is it a no?”
The voice asking once more was a bit closer.
This meant Jae Oh had come closer to gauge her expression, making Chae Yoon tense.
‘If I keep looking, I might laugh… what to do…’
While she contemplated, a low voice once again reached her ears.
“Chae Yoon.”
There was no need to contemplate any further.
“No, it’s okay. I’ll go now.”
She quickly rose from her seat without looking at Jae Oh and swiftly exited the office.
Once she reached her spot, Chae Yoon took a deep breath to calm herself.
Relieved, the smile she had been holding back now stretched across her face.
[From now on, work and you are separate matters.]The blooming smile was heartwarming.
[Star icon]Holding back her imminent laughter, Chae Yoon got into the passenger seat of Jae Oh’s waiting car outside the office.
Afraid she might burst into laughter, she tried her best not to meet Jae Oh’s eyes and began to buckle her seatbelt.
But upon touching the seatbelt, a memory that wasn’t particularly helpful came to mind.
The deep gaze fixated on her lips, the scent that stirred her senses, and the rapidly beating heart, all of it at a dangerously close distance with Jae Oh.
Every detail from that intimate moment with Jae Oh became crystal clear in her mind.
Chae Yoon’s cheeks were turning a bright shade of pink.
“Is it not working?”
Startled by Jae Oh’s voice drawing nearer, Chae Yoon responded,
“No? It’s fine.”
Quickly fastening her seatbelt, wary of Jae Oh possibly reaching out, Chae Yoon stared out of the car window.
After briefly scanning Chae Yoon’s side profile, Jae Oh started the car.
Once the car began moving and seeing him focus on the road, Chae Yoon let out a soft sigh of relief.
Leaning comfortably in her seat and gazing at the swiftly passing scenery outside, her previously turbulent emotions began to settle.
Feeling better, Chae Yoon sneaked a glance at Jae Oh.
It had already been five days out of the month he’d asked for.
A period that felt both short and not so short.
During this time, Chae Yoon had learned and felt more than she’d anticipated.
The person responsible for these emotions was none other than Jae Oh.
“Chae Yoon, I can’t do without you.”
“Perhaps….”
While her large eyes blinked in contemplation, Jae Oh, who had been looking straight ahead, spoke.
“Is this the place?”
Caught off guard, Chae Yoon quickly responded without properly looking around.
“Yes? Yes. Th-that’s right.”
Hearing her flustered tone, a puzzled Jae Oh looked at her, but Chae Yoon avoided his gaze.
“I-I’ll get off here. Thanks for the ride.”
As she mentioned leaving, Jae Oh pulled the car to the side.
Then, watching her hurry, he said,
“Call me when you’re done. I’ll pick you up.”
“Got it.”
“Don’t drink too m…”
“I said I got it. Thanks for the ride. Drive safely.”
As if being chased by something, Chae Yoon swiftly thanked him and exited the car.
Just as she had in the office, Chae Yoon walked away without looking back, Jae Oh’s gaze fixed on her receding figure.
“She doesn’t even look back once.”
His gaze remained unwavering until she was out of sight.
Meanwhile, after quickly getting out of Jae Oh’s car and entering the meeting place, Chae Yoon recognized familiar faces.
“Chae Yoon, over here!”
Seeing friends she hadn’t met since graduation, a smile formed on Chae Yoon’s lips.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
