Smiling and nodding at his concern, she saw Kwon Jun Hwi approaching behind Attorney Yang. Yeon Woo quickly erased her smile and put on a businesslike face.
“Let’s talk for a moment.”
With just that one sentence, he went into his office.
Given the watchful eyes of others, they had no choice but to attend. Yeon Woo’s decision to quit and her embarrassing encounter with the blonde woman were still her secrets. Yeon Woo picked up her notebook and pen reluctantly.
Right, she couldn’t avoid him forever. Besides, the one who should feel guilty was the party caught in the act!
“What’s the matter, Counselor?”
“How are you feeling?”
Still focusing on the documents before him, he asked carelessly. Yeon Woo responded vaguely that she was fine.
“About that incident.”
Jun Hwi, who had finally raised his head to look at Yeon Woo, stopped speaking.
Yeon Woo had come to the room as he had called, but she wasn’t alone. Hye Jin was standing next to her.
“……”
A flash of disappointment crossed his face.
Despite her determination, Yeon Woo couldn’t muster the courage to enter the room, the site of the incident. Moreover, she didn’t want to be alone with him.
Because every time she saw Kwon Jun Hwi, she could see him in his unbuttoned shirt.
That’s why she brought Hye Jin with her. She made use of the excellent excuse of mentoring.
Jun Hwi, who had been staring at the two of them waiting for instructions with their notebooks and pens, closed his previously opened mouth tightly.
“······We’ll talk about it later.”
She felt his burning gaze on her back as she bowed and left, but Yeon Woo did not look back.
So, for a few days, she did her best to avoid Kwon Jun Hwi. It was the only way to erase that memory.
She either listened to work instructions with Hye Jin or only contacted him via email and text, never allowing a single minute alone together.
In the meantime, she regularly checked job portals. There weren’t many companies hiring experienced employees as it was nearing the end of the year.
Sometimes she wondered if she should have listened to what he had to say, but whenever she remembered the sight of the firm, welldefined chest seen through his open shirt, and the woman’s hand resting on it, she endured.
Luckily, she had a lot of work these days, so she was able to divert her attention easily.
This lasted for about a week.
She was warming her frozen hands on the heater under her desk when her mobile phone rang. It was a call from Kwon Jun Hwi.
‘Why is he calling my mobile instead of my office phone?’
But she couldn’t ignore her boss’s call as he was out for an external meeting. Praying for a quick end to the call, Yeon Woo reluctantly answered.
“Yes, Counselor.”
Come to my room right now.
“What? Oh, okay.”
Thinking he must have left some important documents behind, Yeon Woo went into his room, which was only a dozen steps away from her desk.
“I’m in now.”
Sit down in my chair.
“He sat down.”
It’s under the monitor. Tell me as you see it.
Yeon Woo grumbled and looked around. Under the monitor, hmm. Sticky notes. Fountain pen. And then.
“……”
Did you see it? Answer.
There was a picture frame. The photo she had assumed was his family photo.
Among the three people in the photo, he stood on the far right. His hair was a little shorter than now, and his overall impression was less sharp, but his eyes were as fierce as they are now.
The person in the middle was unmistakably his mother. She resembled Kwon Jun Hwi so much that it would be believable to say she was the middleaged female version of him.
But thanks to her faint smile, she seemed a bit softer, and the sophisticated bob haircut and the elegant coat radiated an upscale atmosphere.
On the far left was the person in question.
A foreigner with blonde hair, bright brown eyes, and a bright smile.
The woman Yeon Woo had run into in the office that evening.
‘What happened?’
Why was that woman in the family photo?
Kim Yeon Woo.
“Ah…… Yes. I saw it. But, um……”
Are you ready to hear me out now?
Was that woman, a family member? With Kwon Jun Hwi?
Come to the rooftop.
“……”
Stop avoiding me.
Today, the wind was calm and the sun was warm.
Upon entering the open rooftop after opening the iron gate, the distinct cold winter air and the smell of dry branches filled the space.
Whether the shiver that made her teeth clatter was due to nervousness or cold, she couldn’t tell. Yeon Woo inhaled the piercing cold air into her chest, trying to overcome both.
Jun Hwi was on the inside, away from the entrance of the rooftop. Yeon Woo slowly walked towards him, leaning against a structure of suitable height, clenching her fists as tightly as she bit her lower lip.
“Cover yourself.”
As soon as he saw her, Jun Hwi offered his coat. Unable to wait for Yeon Woo to accept, he draped it over her shoulders himself and also handed her a warm can of coffee.
“What’s all this sudden.”
“I think the story is going to be long.”
You can’t run away now with the excuse of being cold. Saying so, he seated Yeon Woo where he had expected her to sit and stood blocking her way.
“When have I ever run away that much.”
“Prevention in advance won’t hurt.”
“What are you going to talk about?”
“Well, a story that makes Deputy Kim Yeon Woo want to run away.”
He squinted slightly and faintly smiled, staring at Yeon Woo. It was unlike him to call someone and then beat around the bush without getting to the point.
“So, is that woman a family member?”
So, Yeon Woo opened her mouth first. Jun Hwi nodded.
“She’s my sister. A real sister.”
“Huh? How is that, um, hmm.”
“Because of the looks? Because we have different fathers.”
“……”
“My mother remarried a Frenchman.”
