“Each doing their part. What does that mean?”
Junhwi with firm eyes asked in confusion. Yeonwoo even showed the leisure of smoothly raising her lips.
The hand that they held in front of everyone. The heat still lingering in Yeonwoo’s hand. Warmth. The overwhelming emotion at that time was undoubtedly a sense of relief.
Yeonwoo had tried hard not to be noticed by people.
However, at the same time, she couldn’t bear the fact that you confidently reached out your hand to her, who had become so miserable in front of everyone. How grateful and fond of you.
How can I explain this intense mixed feeling of affection?
It’s just because you’re Kwon Junhwi, the one who comes straight to me regardless of whether the surroundings are a flower garden or hell. Is there any other reason?
Kim Seungho? Another man? Not necessary. I have Kwon Junhwi. I even wanted to shout it out to everyone.
It seems that I understand a little in this extreme situation. The reason this man didn’t try to hide ‘us’.
“Well, I think I finally gained real courage now. The courage to go to you with just Kwon Junhwi.”
“······.”
“This amazing man is my man. I feel like I can brag about it.”
It was just natural. What’s wrong with us meeting each other and falling in love?
“So, now I’ll go out confidently. It will be resolved somehow, right? People forget about other people’s business after mentioning it a few times, you know.”
When the situation became irreversible, Yeonwoo, rather than Junhwi, methodically concluded it with a rational approach.
Junhwi’s restless shoulders gradually began to calm down.
“And don’t worry too much about the strange rumors floating around about me.”
“How can I not worry.”
“Now that the truth is out, won’t the malicious rumors disappear? I’ll worry a little too.”
He pulled Yeonwoo’s delicate body closer and embraced her tightly.
“······Really, you worry people in various ways, Kim Yeonwoo.”
“Junhwi worrying about others, people would faint if they knew. Everyone thinks of him as an emotionless AI with no blood or tears.”
Even the teasing words were buried in his arms.
“No, it’s not worry, it’s more like being moved.”
“······.”
“I’m touched. By Kim Yeonwoo.”
Yeonwoo was trapped in his arms for a long time like that.
The heat rising from the rooftop and the warm summer sunlight were all okay within his embrace.
When she returned to her seat, only Yeonwoo’s surroundings seemed intensely quiet like an isolated island.
Seeing Soojin’s busy typing, the messenger server at RoanYul must be burning up due to tremendous scandals.
Trying to ignore it, staring at the monitor, the two lawyers approached Yeonwoo.
“Manager. Tremendous, huh? We heard it all.”
“Ah······. Yes.”
“Congratulations, Manager. Of course, I feel much more sorry for the manager.”
As if it were nothing, the voices of the two lawyers, treating Yeonwoo with such nonchalance, became louder, and Yeonwoo involuntarily glanced at Soojin and the others around.
“Why are you so dejected? Did you commit a crime? If unmarried men and women get along, it’s natural for them to date and such.”
“Yes······.”
“Don’t be scared. It’s not illegal. Be confident.”
Yeonwoo weakly smiled.
Still, there was at least one person congratulating her.
No, it was two people.
“Manager Yeonwoo! I was surprised, but congratulations!”
Kim Seungho also came out of his room and added a few words.
“To meet such an amazing person like Lawyer Kwon, Manager Yeonwoo has to be at least at this level!”
“Honestly, it’s much more regrettable to have Manager than Lawyer Kwon.”
“Oh. I envy it to the point where I want to be born as a woman too.”
“Oh my, Kim Byun. What a cute thing to say.”
Thanks to the two lawyers making a fuss, the atmosphere seemed to lighten up a bit.
“Manager, congratulations from me too.”
Finally, Soojin shyly smiled and offered her congratulations.
“Does Lawyer Kwon handle it well with that log-like stick? He must not have any knowledge. Just fill it up with money if you’re not confident.”
“Surely Lawyer Kwon doesn’t do dates as overtime at the company, right?”
“Come to think of it, there must be a special reason why you two get along so well!”
It was a time when conversations were pouring in chaotically.
“Aren’t we having a situation room meeting?”
Im Nayoon passed by, glaring with a heavily wrinkled face.
“5 minutes have already passed! Don’t waste other people’s time. It’s annoying.”
Unexpectedly, one more joyful thing was added.
It must be uncomfortable. Im Nayoon had undoubtedly heard the rumors. Yeonwoo grabbed the corner of her mouth, which was about to rise, and lowered her gaze to the monitor.
The words of the two lawyers were correct. It wasn’t an affair, and it wasn’t an indecent relationship, let alone a sin.
‘Maybe it’s better this way. Rumors about me chasing this man and that man will fade away.’
So don’t be dejected. Stay positive. Lift your head!
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
