Lee Soo’s face, flushed with embarrassment, showed no signs of cooling down.
Even with her eyes closed, Ji Ho’s familiar scent grew stronger.
With a few strides, Ji Ho wrapped his arms around Lee Soo from behind.
Startled, Lee Soo momentarily held her breath.
“Your man has arrived.”
‘I know! I know!’
Ji Ho’s laughter-filled voice made Lee Soo’s ears burn even hotter.
Ji Ho leaned forward, bringing his face close enough to almost touch Lee Soo’s.
“I wish you’d say that in front of me.”
‘If you secretly listened, just pretend you didn’t know and let it go.’
Ji Ho, seemingly amused, chuckled, unable to contain his laughter.
Instead of responding, Lee Soo just nodded slightly.
A playful smile spread across Ji Ho’s face.
“I like it a lot.”
Ji Ho whispered in Lee Soo’s ear, making her tilt her head away.
“It’s ticklish.”
“What can I do when you’re so lovable?”
“Can’t you step back a bit? Others might come soon.”
Lee Soo tried to wriggle free from Ji Ho’s embrace.
Whenever they were alone, Ji Ho never failed to wrap an arm around her waist or at least hold her hand.
It was fine when they were alone, but in a situation where someone might come, Lee Soo’s heart beat even faster with anxiety.
“It’s fine. I’ll let go as soon as I hear someone.”
Ji Ho seemed determined not to let go, interlocking his hands tightly.
“Should I just stay with you in the kitchen? I’m good at cooking too.”
Ji Ho recalled Lee Soo’s earlier comment.
He preferred to be with Lee Soo, wondering why he should serve others.
“No, you can’t. There are lots of girls coming to see you. Didn’t you hear what Ae Ra said?”
Lee Soo wanted to keep Ji Ho in the kitchen too, but that was just her personal desire.
If she really did that, who knew what grudges they might face from those who came with expectations.
“For today, I have to let go of my boyfriend, the public property.”
“I didn’t know you disliked it this much. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have done it.”
Ji Ho found Lee Soo’s jealousy cute, smiling without realizing.
“I think I made myself clear, but you told me not to worry.”
“I thought you were just saying that. If I knew you were seriously jealous, I wouldn’t have agreed to it.”
Ji Ho lightly kissed Lee Soo’s cheek.
It seemed alright to be a little more daring, seeing Lee Soo’s resigned response.
“It’s not jealousy, just… I don’t like it.”
“That’s what jealousy is. Sorry to say this, but I actually like that you’re jealous.”
Ji Ho turned Lee Soo’s face towards him and kissed her lightly.
He had been holding back the urge to kiss her ever since he heard her call him ‘her man.’
“You’re crazy!”
Lee Soo exclaimed in surprise, pushing Ji Ho away and covering her lips with her hand.
“There’s no one here.”
Ji Ho wanted to go further, but he backed off, sensing he might really get hit.
Lee Soo glared at him with all her might.
“Everyone’s outside!”
“Alright.”
Despite Lee Soo’s sputtering, Ji Ho just grinned broadly.
“I won’t do it anymore.”
Ji Ho, stooping to Lee Soo’s eye level, had his bangs softly falling over his forehead.
‘Today, even his bangs seem charming.’
Ji Ho curled his lips into a warm smile towards Lee Soo.
Even in a plain white shirt, his broad, angular shoulders and lean figure made him look as stunning as a model.
Involuntarily, a smile crept onto Lee Soo’s lips too.
“I’ll let you off just for today.”
Lee Soo playfully spoke as if granting a favor.
“I’ve told you before, I’ll only have eyes for you, so don’t worry.”
As Ji Ho attempted to embrace her again, Lee Soo quickly stepped back and nodded.
“Okay, now go out. Ae Ra might be waiting outside because you’re here.”
Considering Ae Ra hadn’t returned from the restroom yet, she might be waiting outside the kitchen door for Ji Ho to leave.
“Alright.”
Ji Ho obediently left the kitchen.
“Orders close at 10 PM, right? I wonder if we’ll survive the next four hours.”
Ae Ra’s face was filled with anxiety as they waited for the first orders.
“I hope we get a lot of orders for dry snacks.”
Lee Soo, staring blankly at the hall from the serving window, quietly hoped.
Soon after 6 PM, the empty tables filled up at an astonishing speed.
Orders came flooding in as the tables filled up.
Lee Soo was so busy preparing and washing dishes that she hardly had time to straighten her back.
“This has to be the ‘Ji Ho effect’, right? The orders are endless.”
Ae Ra complained while patting her back with clenched fists.
“Ae Ra, it’s a madhouse out there!”
A junior who had gone to the restroom returned, exclaiming dramatically.
“Why?”
“There’s a line of people from our bar to outside the building. Isn’t it incredible?”
Everyone was shocked to hear that the line extended from the third-floor bar to outside the building.
“Are you serious?”
Lee Soo and Ae Ra shrugged at each other.
“Looks like our joke turned into reality.”
“The line is a bit too much.”
Lee Soo frowned.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
