“Wow. I had only heard rumors, but I didn’t know it was that serious. Seeing him in person, my hands would tremble, my whole body would freeze, I wouldn’t be able to handle him.”
“I feel the same… Then Manager, please at least move my seat.”
“I told you nothing can be done right now, right? Let’s just not touch him. Until things calm down. Okay?”
A sudden wave of fatigue washed over Yeon Woo, who stood there dumbfounded.

‘Let’s stop. I won’t torment you anymore.’
That night, it was fortunate she hadn’t simply believed the words he had quietly spat out while looking at Yeon Woo.

Lies. They said they wouldn’t torment me!

I just… wanted to leave the office and go home, regardless of resignation or whatever else.

“Have you returned, sir?”
“Ah, yes, yes.”
As I returned to my seat, the newcomer stood up like a baby bird waiting for its mother.

I told her that she didn’t need to be that formal and should be comfortable, but even her response was made with an upright posture, her back straight as a rod.

How cute. If Yeon Woo had more leisure of mind, she might have taken more careful care of her.

Feeling sorry for the baby bird was soon buried by bigger worries and disappeared.

‘What should I do now?’
Should I just send a resignation message and not come back? That was the only remaining option.

‘I’m really going to go MIA!’
Yeon Woo, who had never even rebelled on trivial matters in her life. But, unauthorized resignation. Even though she only thought about it, her hands were already trembling.

It was when she was pretending to work by opening a random file while imagining such a thrilling rebellion. A messenger window blinked in the corner of her monitor.

[Kwon Jun Hwi has requested a conversation.]

Yeon Woo doubted her own eyes.

Why wouldn’t he call out loud as usual and politely initiate a chat instead? That made her more anxious.

Feeling startled, Yeon Woo noticed the newcomer behind her stretching her neck to observe. She quickly opened the messenger window and placed it where it couldn’t be seen from behind.

[What are you doing tonight?] [I’m planning to resign.] [Ah. You do have time for a meal. Let’s have a meal and then resign.] “…”
While glaring at his halfopen door, Yeon Woo typed one letter at a time.

[I have a prior appointment.] After she said that, he who hadn’t replied for a minute surprisingly backed off calmly.

[Understood.] She was about to close the chat window when his consecutive messages popped up again.

[Then I will dine with attorney Yang Joo Yeon.] [To consult about what happened at the end of last year.] She almost groaned out loud.

After the HR team, now even Yeon Woo. Why is the lawyer continually threatening the employees?

However, apart from her dissatisfaction, Yeon Woo’s hand started typing on the keyboard hastily.

[No] [Dine with me] [Seriously] [Dinner] [Let’s eat] [Now, no prior appointment] “Aargh!”
What kind of typo is that!

The sound of Yeon Woo’s suffering made the newcomer behind her jump up. She managed to reply that she was okay and forced a smile, but she was not okay due to the reply she got at the same time.

[There won’t be any undressing today.]

The place he took Yeon Woo to was a topnotch Japanese restaurant in a sixstar hotel.

Every time he arranged hospitality meetings here, she drooled in curiosity about the place, never imagining she’d end up coming with him.

Earlier, when Jun Hwi took Yeon Woo to the hotel parking lot, I almost lost it, wondering if he really saw me as such a person. But it was good I held myself back.

“Do you like sushi?”
“We’ve already come to a sushi restaurant.”
“I asked because there are other menus.”
“I’ll eat sushi.”
Outside of the office, Kwon Jun Hwi was less frightening than before. It’s not that he’s an easygoing person, but he was modest enough to express his dissatisfaction like today.

But it’s quite an improvement.

Yeon Woo felt a sense of accomplishment in the most unlikely places.

“Are you going to resign after the meal?”
“I’m going home.”
Ah. A question to ask him came to mind since I saw him anyway.

As the staff came in to clear the egg stew dish and brought sushi and green tea, Yeon Woo took the opportunity to ask Jun Hwi.

“Attorney. Should I stamp the agreement you gave me during the day with the CEO’s seal or your seal?”
“You said you’re resigning.”
“Ah, even if I do… I should stamp and let it go.”
“Do it with mine.”
Knowing that his path to resignation was blocked because of him. His joke of glancing at her was too childish.

“But why did you want to see me today?”
“Just. I wanted to have a meal together. Is that not okay?”
“…..”
Jun Hwi, who had been staring at Yeon Woo’s fingers fiddling with her cup in dissatisfaction, folded his arms and leaned back.

“Why are you so angry?”
“Do I look like I’m not angry?”
Her small lips, bloated cheeks, chewing sushi, looked just like a squirrel in Jun Hwi’s eyes.

It was quite strange and absurd to find resemblances like squirrel and such in a person.

Again, the only one that made him feel this way was Kim Yeon Woo. Jun Hwi bowed his head and chuckled.

Would she have thought I was laughing at her? Yeon Woo’s big, doublelidless eyes narrowed. That trivial action completely captured his attention.

He wanted to capture her more diverse reactions in his eyes.

Jun Hwi slowly and subtly enjoyed this time together, throwing around questions that would put her in a difficult situation.

As he intended, he fully appreciated her tension, blushing, and jumping up.

And finally, he asked what he wanted to ask the most,

“Shall we meet officially? Deputy Kim Yeon Woo.”
She refused.

Of course, he didn’t expect Yeon Woo to accept coolly. No, it doesn’t matter. He just needs to change her mind.

The real problem was with Jun Hwi himself.

“To be honest, I’m uncomfortable, attorney.”
“Me? Am I uncomfortable?”
“Yes. It’s scary. And we’re not… compatible.”

Clearly, he was getting harshly rejected by the woman sitting in front of him, but the problem was Kwon Jun Hwi himself, who just looked sweetly beautiful no matter what she said, as if sweet juice were dripping out.

When he smiled, the long corners of his eyes would crinkle endlessly, and his stout nose and tempting lips, too. She wanted to absorb all of it, to take it all into herself.

What kind of emotion was this unquenchable thirst that seemed would not be satisfied even if she drank her fill of him all night?

“Do I make you uncomfortable? Am I scary? And, do we not get along?”
This wouldn’t even scratch the surface for him. It was just the typical impression people had of Jun Hwi.

Until just a little while ago, he hadn’t felt anything more than typical for Yeon Woo, either.

And so, he regretted it. Why had he only come to recognize her existence now?

Such a beautiful person had been right in front of him.

He should have rushed in faster.

“It’s interesting. Let’s see how long you can hold out.”
It was okay to go slow. All the stimulations Yeon Woo gave him were fresh and new, and it already felt like he would go crazy just from this.

How long would he last? That was also a question Jun Hwi asked himself.

He had already exposed the most intimate parts of himself, and he couldn’t guarantee what more he would reveal if he crumbled before Yeon Woo just like this.
