He was the kind of person who became more composed the more he thought. So, she had a sudden fear that if she gave him too much time to think, he might turn her away.
“Oppa, can we talk right now? I just want to hear your voice.”
— Ms. Yeonji Seo.
“…….”
Yeongji clenched her fist at Director Song’s stern voice.
‘How dare he act this way on the subject of my secretary?’
Director Song was the one who received instructions and orders from Hyukju. However, he strangely didn’t treat her kindly.
Usually, if your superior regards someone highly, shouldn’t you be respectful and compliant?
‘So arrogant.’
Yeongji chewed on the tip of her lip.
When she meets Hyukju, she thought she should vent all her grievances to Director Song. Then Hyukju would say something, and Director Song wouldn’t act out of line in the future.
“Like I care.”
Yeongji tried to calm her boiling emotions as she waited for Director Song to continue.
— The Vice President is not available at the moment.
“What?”
— He left briefly due to an important matter. Please refrain from unnecessary contact.
“Excuse me.”
— We will inform you of the meeting time and location shortly.
“Just a moment!”
— Go ahead.
“My brother said that? He finds my calls annoying?”
Yeongji raised her voice as she ran her hand through her hair.
“Are you telling me he said he’s fed up with me?”
— He hasn’t expressed such sentiments yet.
“So, you think you can blabber as you please over there? Unbelievable! You, I won’t just let it slide! I’ll tell my brother to cut ties with you right away, you know!”
— Feel free to say as much as you’d like.
“Hah, so you think I can’t? Irritating, seriously!”
Yeongji huffed and ended the call.
It was all because of Oh Eunsoo. When she found out she had returned to Korea, Eunsoo should have known her place and gracefully stepped aside.
Then, the seat next to Hyukju would have naturally been hers.
Being so audacious to hold onto a position that wasn’t even hers.
“Hilarious, seriously! Aaaargh!”
She shouted loudly, but her anger didn’t subside.
It seemed like she needed to call Oh Eunsoo and vent her frustration. As she pressed the call button, anger and desperation filled her touch.
“What’s this? It says it’s not a valid number?”
Eunji’s face contorted in surprise at the unexpected situation. It appeared that the number had been changed.
“Surely, my brother Hyukju didn’t tell you to do this, did he?”
With growing anxiety, Eunji ran her hand through her hair.
Coming out of the room, Eunsoo looked around the empty living room and tilted her head.
There was no sign of Hyukju.
Did she go out for a moment?
She went to the kitchen to get a drink, and when she saw what was spread out on the dining table, her mouth dropped open in surprise.
From fruits like apples, tomatoes, and oranges to prepped seafood hot pot packs and tender cuts of meat that were ready to be cooked.
It seemed like Hyukju had just been to the grocery store, and he was continuously taking things out of plastic bags.
“What’s all this?”
“There was nothing to eat in the fridge.”
“…….”
“You should eat well.”
Eunsoo hugged her stomach at Hyukju’s words.
It was a valid point, but hearing it from Hyukju made her feel strange, even though there was no reason for it to be strange.
He was the child’s father, and when he mentioned that he would try his best, Eunsoo clearly drew the line.
The child’s father.
That was as far as Hyukju’s role went.
He was now faithfully fulfilling the role he had chosen for himself. Eunsoo thought that way and steadied her wavering heart.
“What do you want to eat for dinner?”
“…I don’t have any preference.”
“Should I grill some beef for you?”
“Do you know how to grill?”
“I can handle grilling some meat.”
“Grilling meat, something that someone who has never properly made anything with their own hands suggests so casually, isn’t that too overconfident?”
Eunsoo said, shooting a look at Hyukju.
Seeing him volunteer to make dinner, Eunsoo felt like something warm was pouring out of her chest in an instant. She didn’t want to see him making an effort like this.
She wanted to break his will to try so hard to go back to how things were before.
Yet, she hurriedly left the kitchen, not wanting to face Hyukju’s disappointed expression that, strangely enough, hinted at her own disappointment.
Standing still in the middle of the living room for a moment, catching her breath, Eunsoo sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.
A comedy program featuring comedians with absurd makeup appeared on the screen. Eunsoo intentionally turned up the volume.
People on the TV screen were laughing heartily, finding something amusing. Eunsoo, with an expressionless face, silently changed channels.
“Ugh…”
Neither the news nor dramas caught her attention.
As Eunsoo mindlessly flipped through channels, she turned off the TV and got up from the sofa. Suddenly, she remembered the rush translation job that Saebyul had asked her to do.
“I almost forgot about this. It could have been a disaster.”
She asked for it by tomorrow. Horticulture, which Saebyul majors in, was an unfamiliar field to Eunsoo.
She was told that she didn’t need to pay much attention to the initial translation, but she didn’t want to take it lightly. Saebyul had helped her as if it were her own job to find a place to stay in the future, so Eunsoo wanted to do well in return.
Eunsoo went into her room, leaned back against the headboard, and opened her laptop.
She checked the email sent by Saebyul and opened the file.
“The terminology is unfamiliar…”
There were academic terms that were difficult to guess the meaning of. Eunsoo checked each of those words.
Just looking at one page made her eyes feel heavy.
It had been a long time since she had started this job, and perhaps it was because she had been going back and forth between hospitals since early this morning, but her eyelids kept drooping.
Eunsoo nodded off without realizing it.
A few hours later, Eunsoo woke up, startled by the pitch-darkness around her.
“How long did I sleep?”
She got up from the bed and quickly turned on the light.
However, no matter where she looked in the room, she couldn’t see her laptop.
Did Hyukju move it?
Eunsoo opened the door and went outside. She saw Hyukju, who had fallen asleep on the living room sofa.
Quietly watching Hyukju, Eunsoo went into the room and came out with a blanket. The boiler was on, but the indoor air wasn’t too warm.
In case she caught a cold from sleeping without eating dinner, Eunsoo unfolded the blanket and covered Hyukju’s knees with it.
Outside, it was shrouded in complete darkness.
Since she had fallen asleep without eating dinner, Eunsoo went to the kitchen.
There was food prepared on the dining table. It was a meal that Hyukju had made with clumsy skills.
“……. ”
Speechless, Eunsoo gazed at the dishes on the table and then turned on her laptop screen, which was on one side of the dining table.
