“Good morning, Deputy.”
“Hello, Attorney Yang.”
With a friendly smile, Yeon Woo offered Attorney Yang, who was walking in, a macaron as if she was a salesperson desperately trying to sell all the macarons quickly.
“Try one in the pantry, Attorney. They are really good.”
“Really? It would be even better with coffee. Would you like to have coffee with me, Deputy?”
Attorney Yang seemed to have something to tell Yeon Woo exclusively.
Yeon Woo, having understood his intention, took the lead and briskly walked toward the pantry.
“Did you rest well yesterday?”
“Yes. Thanks to you.”
“Ah, I was worried that our kind Deputy might be suffering alone again.”
Almost bursting into tears again at the comment that precisely addressed her predicament.
Getting emotional at work these days. It was serious.
“This, macaron. Did Attorney Kwon buy it? He called early in the morning asking if there’s any place around the office that sells sweet stuff.”
“Did he call you, Attorney?”
“I was laughing so hard because it didn’t suit Kwon at all to ask such a thing. He’s a person who only cares about tangible things like client receptions. But it seems like he feels sorry for you, Deputy. Hmm, he chose quite well!”
Yeon Woo envied Attorney Yang, who could leisurely enjoy the taste.
“Deputy. I’ve known Kwon Jun Hwi for quite a long time since his prosecutor days.”
“Yes.”
“I’m hesitant to talk about his personal issues, but I don’t want to see you getting hurt.”
“······.”
“Kwon doesn’t disclose it in detail but… He had a major mental shock in the past, some kind of trauma, he has some issues.”
Trauma? Kwon Jun Hwi?
I could never have imagined.
“He goes beyond simply being irritable, Kwon.”
“That’s true.”
“He doesn’t trust people. Therefore, he doesn’t open his heart easily. He has severe mood swings. He can’t even look at blood or injuries.”
“Ah······.”
So that’s why he made a fuss yesterday over the nosebleed!
“He probably moved to the law firm to choose the cases he gets since it’s difficult to avoid violent crimes while being a prosecutor.”
“I had no idea.”
“Right, it makes sense that you wouldn’t know. I’ve known him for a long time. Otherwise, I would have just passed him off as a lunatic.”
As Attorney Yang finished off the remaining macarons, he said,
“And Kwon buying this is a sign of an apology to you. Please try to understand him a bit.”
An apology. His apology.
Even after parting from Attorney Yang and returning to her seat, those words didn’t leave her mind.
Damn it. He could easily spit out other cold words.
I’m sorry I was too harsh on you yesterday. It’s not because of you, I have my own issues. Have a sweet and calm down.
Wouldn’t it be a bit better if he said things straightforwardly like this?
But when she thought about it afterwards, Yeon Woo wasn’t entirely perfect either.
Was she being punished for her childish and meanspirited research on parts the other person would dislike?
Not to say that his random bouts of excitement and aggression towards people were commendable.
Ah. She never thought she’d find herself empathizing with Kwon Jun Hwi.
‘Right, the macarons I had left in the washroom!’
He must have seen them earlier.
As she was chewing over Jun Hwi, Yeon Woo bit her lower lip tightly.
Should she run back now and retrieve them? Another dilemma had begun.
She had intended to ignore Kwon Jun Hwi’s sincerity, she had, but… Of course, she still disliked him.
Now that she knew there was a reason for his outburst yesterday, somehow Yeon Woo felt as if she had left him with an apology.
“Preparations for the trial next week are proceeding without a hitch… Probably, the other party would have prepared based mainly on testimonies… Yes, Team Leader, you just need to memorize the anticipated questions. I will contact you again.”
In the short time returning to the office after a meeting on another floor, he had already finished speaking with two clients, and another meeting was scheduled in 15 minutes.
Jun Hwi, who had checked the time by twisting his left hand, quickened his pace back to the office.
“……”
When he returned to his seat, there were two neatly placed macarons on his desk. Perhaps because of them, a sweet scent filled the room.
He slowly loosened his tie and sat down in his seat.
While looking at the macaron confidently placed atop the pile of documents.
After rubbing his tired eyebrows, he picked up one with a reddish hue.
He examined the small, round macaron held in his large hand by turning it around.
It seemed like Yeon Woo was wearing clothes of this color earlier.
Kim Yeon Woo, who always had at least one part flushing red in front of him, was a vivid reddish color today.
I thought his mood wasn’t completely lifted because he had left it in the washroom. Maybe he changed his mind again.
Jun Hwi chuckled and took a bite of the macaron. A bright orange scent spread in his mouth.
She came to mind.
The pastry that had quickly melted and flown away left only a sweet taste.
He took another bite with a touch of regret.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
