“When you came to the company, you mentioned it to me in advance.”
Jin Woo’s sweet voice could be heard. The grandmother’s smile didn’t fade at her affectionate and kind-hearted grandson.
“Something like this, s-s-spritzer?”
The grandmother giggled, moving her wrinkled lips.
“It was a surprise.”
Jin Woo, who seemed to know what was going on, answered, and his gaze briefly turned towards Ji Na.
“Our grandson is quite impressive. He has grown up so well.”
The grandmother’s proud heart was clearly evident. Ji Na, who couldn’t even raise her gaze, stared intently at the cup of water in front of her.
She felt awkwardly wedged into the harmonious family atmosphere. That wasn’t all. Even Jin Woo’s occasional glances directed at her felt painfully awkward.
She had planned to meet him once her emotions were sorted out. This sudden and unexpected encounter made Ji Na fidget, her fingers fumbling with the cup as she engaged in a silent staring contest.
“If it weren’t for the student’s help, I might have gotten lost. Just a cup of water won’t hurt.”
The grandmother’s repeated praise finally snapped Ji Na back to attention.
“Oh, of course I had to help. The weather was hot, and if something had happened, you might have collapsed.”
Ji Na replied humbly, as if she had merely done what was expected of her.
“I don’t know if it’s okay to say this on our first meeting, but I hope our grandson’s wife is a patient and kind-hearted girl like you.”
The sudden remark left both Ji Na and Jin Woo bewildered.
“Uh…”
Too surprised to speak, Ji Na’s lips quivered, but the grandmother smiled at her reassuringly.
“I just said it because the student is so pretty. Don’t pay it any mind.”
It was a close call with a nearly awkward joke. Ji Na managed to control her tense muscles. As if changing the subject, Jin Woo quietly asked the grandmother.
“Would you like to see Father before you go?”
Instantly, the kindly expression on the grandmother’s face turned to stone.
“The biggest regret of my life is giving birth to that bastard.”
Her sharp tone felt like thorns.
“But at the same time, it was a good thing I gave birth to him. Because I gave birth to a beloved grandson like this. He didn’t take after that useless piece of trash, and he’s grown up so well. I have no regrets in my old age.”
As if it had always been that way, her voice was warm, like a spring breeze. At the same time, it was moist.
“I’ve been a burden for the old lady for too long. I should go now. I have work to do.”
Following the grandmother, Ji Na quickly stood up.
“Oh, there’s some food and rice cakes in that bag. Could you share some with the student?”
Standing in front of the door as if to stop her, the grandmother said.
“Yes, it seems like there’s a lot for one person to eat.”
Jin Woo replied with a smile, and Ji Na simply bowed to the grandmother before leaving.
The grandmother disappeared, and the door closed. Finally, when they were alone, Ji Na lowered her head, feeling strangely awkward, and mumbled.
“I’ll go now… No, I’ll go.”
She wasn’t in a position to speak carelessly anymore.
“Sister.”
Just two syllables, but they were incredibly sweet. Ji Na felt like she would be swallowed up, so she quickly thought about leaving this place.
“Just a moment.”
In response to Ji Na’s slightly anxious voice, she had no choice but to stop her steps. When she slowly raised her head, her gaze met Jin Woo’s. She wondered when he had been looking at her, but his gaze was steady.
“I heard it was your vacation… I’ve been holding back because I wanted to see you so badly.”
Jin Woo’s voice was subdued, and Ji Na’s heart thumped at the sound.
“Grandmother really surprised me.”
Her voice sounded touched for some reason.
“Congratulations on becoming a vice president.”
She dared to think that he was someone who didn’t suit her. However, seeing him standing here like he owned the place, it was clear that Ji Na and him were not a good match.
The monochromatic interior exuded both luxury and elegance. And Seo Jin Woo.
The owner standing in the center was the same. Even when he was an intern, he had an unusual atmosphere, but now it was distinctly different. In addition to his naturally handsome appearance, he exuded an aura of dominance.
“I’ll leave now.”
“I’m the same Seo Jin Woo as when I was an intern.”
Jin Woo approached Ji Na from behind as she stopped in front of the door. His expression was somewhat helpless, and he was so close that he could reach her with just a touch. Ji Na’s shoulders quivered slightly as she heard him say.
“Whether I’m in any position, my feelings for you haven’t changed… Could you trust me just once?”
His voice was pleading. His painful feelings reached her clearly.
“I’m still lacking the courage. I keep wanting to run away.”
She thought the painful memories of being hurt by Kim Do Jin had already disappeared. However, the pain was still deeply embedded, as she could still feel the pain even unknowingly.
“Then run away.”
His voice sounded strangely painful to Ji Na, and her shoulders trembled.
“You can run away. Anytime.”
