“How old are you?”
“34.”
“What’s your height?”
“187. Ah, getting older, perhaps?”
As the questions about their relationship were resolved, curiosity shifted to his personal information. It seemed that he already had followers.
“You’re very handsome. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone as handsome as you, Oppa.”
“A face like mine is not common. But don’t stare too much. It wears out.”
It was just modesty, but the women couldn’t help but laugh, accepting it as a chic sense of humor.
“What do you do?”
“I work at Myunghan Distribution.”
This time, Seongwoo, who had been listening with ears perked up, sighed with admiration. Working in the same affiliated company was something to be happy about.
But the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed. Where had he seen him before? Seongwoo, who had been deeply thinking, suddenly screamed.
His buttocks sprang up like a spring.
“Hello, Executive! I never expected to see you here.”
Seongwoo raised his eyebrows in confusion as Junghyuk’s waist folded in half like a folder phone.
“Do I know you?”
“I’m Myunghan Construction Development Team 2 Manager, Seongwoo Lee.”
“You work in construction? Development Team 2, then…”
“I’m in charge of the department store renovation.”
“Ah, that area. Well, nice to meet you.”
“All right! Nice to meet you, Executive!”
Seongwoo, whose hand was grabbed firmly by Junghyuk’s extended hand, was so flustered that he didn’t know how to react.

Taking advantage of the waning interest of the people, Dajeong quietly stood up and left the venue.
Although she left inconspicuously, the man who was the focus of all attention was agile. As expected, he began to follow Dajeong quietly.
“Where’s Yoo Dajeong going?”
Pretending not to hear, Dajeong silently headed for a secluded place in the backyard.
“Yoo Dajeong, where are you going?”
“…”
Yoo Dajeong. Yoo Dajeong. Yoo Dajeong.
If the name were a consumable, it might have worn out and disappeared by now.
After walking for a while, the round streetlamp light illuminated an old swing chair. Some baby angel statues were visible around.
Is this far enough?
Keeping a moderate distance from the crowd, Dajeong’s steps came to a halt. The man, who showed an increasingly bored expression, was nimble. As expected, he suddenly stopped following Dajeong.
“Mr. Cha Junghyuk. How did you come here without saying anything?”
“I came by car.”
“Don’t joke around, knowing it’s not what I mean.”
Dajeong nudged him. Staring at the ground as if looking for something, Junghyuk inserted both hands into his pants pockets. As he did so, he fixed his gaze somewhere dark in the sky.
“I felt hurt.”
“Hurt…?”
What mistake did I make now? I pondered, but nothing came to mind.
“So, I thought I’d do something like a protest.”
“…”
Dajeong tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what he was saying. With a stern gaze, Junghyuk, who had been staring at the ground, suddenly raised his head and spoke, “I missed you.”
“Yoo Dajeong said she’s going to the university alumni association and asked me to buy her clothes. It’s the first time this woman has asked me for anything, and I was so pleased. I even thought about buying an entire department store for her, but…”
“…”
“But that’s as far as it goes. She asked me to buy clothes for the alumni gathering, but she didn’t mention going together.”
Dajeong pursed her slightly open mouth and gently bit her lower lip, wondering what mistake she had made.
Dajeong approached and quickly embraced him around the waist. As she raised her head as if looking at the sky, Junghyuk’s gaze also came closer.
When their eyes met, Dajeong smiled slyly and playfully stuck out her tongue.
“You know, I’m still inexperienced. It’s easy for me to rely on someone since I’ve been doing everything alone since I was young…”
“Habits can be frightening.”
“But I hope you understand that I always trust you and think of you as reliable.”
“I understand.”
Junghyuk smiled a little lazily and hugged Dajeong’s waist more tightly towards me. To get a closer look at his face, Dajeong, too, leaned down and tightly hugged his neck.
“Yoo Dajeong. Did I make a mistake?”
Dajeong lightly hit him on the back.
“No. I came here with the determination to clearly explain things since strange rumors are circulating. When Cha Junghyuk appeared, it was satisfying to see Goseowon’s face. When senior Seongwoo greeted you confidently, Goseowon’s face looked like he had eaten a bug.”
After that, Goseowon disappeared somewhere with the ‘Doctor’ like an octopus.
“Our boyfriend is awesome. Is this what they call boyfriend material?”
Dajeong shook him with all her might while raising him. Naturally, he didn’t know humility.
“Yoo Dajeong probably saved the country in her past life.”
“If I had known, I would have invited our boyfriend to come with us without making him feel uneasy about buying clothes. I’m sorry for just asking you to buy clothes.”
“If you’re sorry, give me a kiss.”
