“Hmm, what is it?”
Jin Woo seemed to have decided on a gift, keeping the deadline in mind. Ji Na quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Jin Woo.
“Marry me.”
At Jin Woo’s voice, Ji Na thought for a moment that her ears were playing tricks on her. But his low voice was too clear and distinct, resonating in her ears.
Contrary to Ji Na’s surprised face, Jin Woo, who was looking at her with a serious face, seemed tense as he held his lips tight. Knowing it wasn’t a situation to wave off as a joke, Ji Na quickly looked down.
“I told you before…… office romance for the time being……”
“It’s not office romance.”
Jin Woo’s voice, cutting off Ji Na’s fading words, was soft. Even his voice seemed to be very careful, as if trying not to startle Ji Na.
“It’s not office romance, it’s an office marriage.”
Gasp.
“This is a gift…… it’s up to you. Whether you want to accept it or not.”
Jin Woo gave a smile as soft as his voice.
“…….”
Ji Na couldn’t respond to Jin Woo. It was because her heart was pounding so fiercely it felt as if it would jump out of her mouth. Ji Na, who had been biting her lips, picked up the glass in front of her and gulped down the drink.
“Ha……”
As the bitter taste spread, her mind became clearer.
“Can I answer later?”
There was no choice but to buy time…… Jin Woo nodded to Ji Na, who was asking with a somewhat grim look.
“Sure. The deadline is tonight.”
That’s quite something…… Ji Na, who was smiling inside, roughly poured herself another drink. At least she didn’t have to answer right away, which gave her a little breathing room.
Even so, she felt suffocated as if her heart was blocked. It was as if bricks had been piled up, one on top of the other, she couldn’t breathe. Strangely enough.
The more she drank, the more diluted her feelings of suffocation became. Ji Na relentlessly drained her glasses.
How much had she drunk?
Her head hurt. The drunkenness was rising, her senses were blurred. Reality and fantasy mixed.
Soon, she felt a warm heat by her ear.
As if someone was by her side.
Very close.
The unknown warmth, possibly the person’s breath, was pleasant.
“…Mind…to…”
The words sounded blurred to her.
Even her hearing felt numb.
Her senses, ravaged by alcohol, were blurry.
Ji Na struggled to open her eyes.
She saw a man looking at her.
He had a handsome face like a male celebrity on TV.
“You’re quite handsome.”
The sound from her dry lips cracked at the end.
Even she thought it was a ridiculous thing to say, but the man seemed to think the same and rolled his lips into a smile. Even that was exquisite. It was as if all the good looks of the world were combined to create this man.
“Thank you.”
“You remind me of someone I know… Who was it?”
Ji Na painstakingly sifted through her foggy mind.
But instead of recalling, a headache surged through her head from her forced attempt.
“Ouch…”
“You drank too much. I’ll take you home. Sister.”
“Eh…? You’re younger than me? Wow. Amazing.”
The man chuckled at Ji Na’s reaction.
“Why is it amazing?”
“No, you’re so handsome and young. Really jealous.”
“Haha, I’m also rich. But, sister, you are pretty and young too.”
Ji Na’s heart swelled at the man’s compliment. It was a compliment she hadn’t heard in a very long time.
“Nope, you’re wrong.”
Ji Na smiled with a flushed face.
“I’m neither pretty nor young. You thought that was all there was to it?”
“…….”
The man’s expression slowly hardened.
“I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years because he cheated on me with a young new recruit. Oh, of course, I was the one who first said let’s break up. But it’s the same thing. Well, I dumped him before he miserably dumped me.”
Ji Na’s voice, speaking as if about someone else, gradually faded. Hot tears welled up under her blurry vision.
“No, looking back, I think he never liked me from the start. Huh.”
Ji Na’s sobbing grew louder.
“I’m a fool. Me. I can’t even have a proper relationship.”
In response to Ji Na’s sobbing and muttering, Jin Woo spoke with a darkened gaze.
“The person who lost you, he’ll regret it later. So…….”
A warm hand wiped away the tears that smeared Ji Na’s face.
“Don’t cry.”
Despite being intoxicated, Ji Na clung to his warm touch that seemed to wrap around her heart as well.
“You’re handsome and you have a kind heart. You’re so kind.”
With the thought of accepting the kindness being offered wholeheartedly, Ji Na rubbed her face while holding Jin Woo’s hand.
Jin Woo was taken aback by her sudden action. Yet, he found her drunken state adorable.
“The expiration time is approaching, aren’t you going to answer?”
At Jin Woo’s subtly probing words, Ji Na opened her mouth thoughtlessly. Whether due to the alcohol, her flushed cheeks, and even redder lips looked moist.
“What was the question again……?”
At Ji Na’s innocent question, seemingly not remembering, Jin Woo smiled.
“Will you marry me?”
“With me?”
“……your response.”
Ji Na, who seemingly didn’t hear the rest, had her eyes wide open and her lips slowly curved upward.
“Are you asking me to marry you now?”
“Yes.”
