“Now that we are in the same boat, we are partners.”
Su Hee, who was looking at Seung Jo’s hand requesting a handshake, slowly rose from her seat.
Then, she uncurled her clenched fingers to grasp Seung Jo’s hand.
As Seung Jo wrapped his hand around Su Hee’s, their warmth intertwined.
Quietly gazing at their clasped hands, a subtle smile graced Su Hee’s lips.
‘Look. It’s not beating at all.’
Contrary to her worries, she didn’t tremble a bit even when holding hands with Seung Jo.
What she had felt so far was far from excitement, Su Hee thought.
As Su Hee briefly finished the handshake and let go, Seung Jo’s hand also fell down.
“Do we need a contract?”
Although she wondered if a contract was necessary, Seung Jo could change his mind.
She couldn’t return immediately without Seung Jo’s help, so the contract was essential.
“Yes, I think we need a contract.”
“Once the contract content is organized, I’ll give it to you.”
Su Hee nodded and turned her body toward the banquet hall entrance.
“Is the discussion over? My manager is waiting in the parking lot right now, so I should go check.”
“Let’s go together. I need to return to the office now.”
The two left the banquet hall and boarded the elevator nearby.
As the elevator door closed, Su Hee pressed the button for the basement floor.
Seung Jo didn’t press any other button, so he must have also parked his car on the basement floor.
As Su Hee removed her hand from the button, the elevator smoothly descended.
It happened as soon as the elevator started moving.
Suddenly, with a jolt, the elevator shook violently and Su Hee’s body swayed.
At that moment, Seung Jo instinctively reached out his arms to support Su Hee from her swaying waist.
Before she could be aware of Seung Jo’s hand touching her body, the light on the elevator ceiling went out.
As the darkness fell in front of her eyes, Su Hee felt like her heart was falling.
“Wwhat happened here?”
Su Hee didn’t want to admit that the elevator had stopped.
In the darkness where she couldn’t see an inch in front of her, Su Hee wandered as if she was lost.
Cold sweat trickled down her spine, and her legs lost strength as if they were about to collapse.
“There are people trapped here.”
At Seung Jo’s calm voice, Su Hee took shallow breaths one after another.
Before she knew it, the broad back of Seung Jo entered her sight, which had gotten used to the darkness.
Seung Jo was pressing the emergency bell that was the only light in the darkness.
“Isn’t there anyone?”
Seung Jo’s voice was stronger than before.
She wondered if they should remain trapped without being found by anyone.
[Has the elevator stopped there?]But soon, when she heard another voice in the elevator, Su Hee was able to alleviate her worries a bit.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Su Hee shook her head to indicate she was fine while holding onto Seung Jo’s arm.
The fortunate thing was that the elevator had stopped without colliding with anything or anyone falling over.
If someone got hurt and 911 was called, it would surely create a scene.
Looking at the pale Su Hee, Seung Jo opened his mouth.
“It’s okay. Call the elevator manager and get them to open the door first.”
Su Hee seemed shocked, but he knew what she was worried about.
Being involved in a loud incident would be enough from past experiences.
“I understand. Please wait a moment.”
After finishing the call with the hotel staff, Su Hee stepped back and leaned against the elevator wall.
Knowing that someone was coming to help, she was somewhat relieved.
Su Hee, who was standing against the wall, was still staring at Seung Jo, who was standing in front of the elevator door.
The call with the hotel staff ended a while ago, but Seung Jo hadn’t moved an inch from his spot.
“CEO Han Seung Jo.”
Carefully taking a step, Su Hee approached from behind Seung Jo.
As she grabbed Seung Jo’s arm, he slowly turned his body.
“Did you call me?”
In his lower voice, Su Hee noticed that Seung Jo was different than usual.
Only then did Su Hee remember what Seung Jo had said on the plane from Paris to Korea.
“I have claustrophobia. At first, it was hard to breathe, but it has gotten much better now.”
Even though it had gotten much better, he was not completely cured yet.
So, he must have taken a sleeping pill when he was on the plane.
It was dark, so she couldn’t properly see Seung Jo’s face.
Holding onto Seung Jo’s arm, Su Hee stepped closer to him.
“You have claustrophobia, CEO.”
“I’m fine.”
Whether he was lying about being okay, Su Hee could feel Seung Jo’s arm shaking subtly.
“Are you really okay?”
This time, Seung Jo said nothing.
Suddenly worried, Su Hee hesitated for a moment before putting her hand on Seung Jo’s forehead.
She couldn’t help but be surprised by the sweat breaking out on his forehead, even more than the cool touch of his skin.
The one who would be startled by being trapped in the elevator was likely Seung Jo, more than herself.
She had forgotten that he had claustrophobia because he was acting so calmly and methodically.
She really didn’t know that he was just barely hanging in there.
“Should I call 911 now?”
Su Hee was about to hit the emergency button, but her hand raised in the air was caught by Seung Jo.
“It’s okay. We have medicine in the car, so just hang in there until then.”
“What if I collapse?”
“Just hang in there somehow, and don’t worry, Miss Oh Su Hee.”
He was sweating cold sweat, telling her not to worry.
How could she not worry? It wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed right now.
Su Hee looked down at Seung Jo’s hand, which was just placed on her without any strength.
“Is it because of me? Are you worried it will get noisy when the ambulance comes?”
“That’s not it.”
She knew it was a lie.
If it wasn’t for that, there was no way Seung Jo wouldn’t have called an ambulance.
Seung Jo let go of Su Hee’s hand he was holding and leaned against the elevator wall.
Just as he leaned back, Seung Jo sat on the elevator floor.
Su Hee, who was sitting with her knees bent, was trembling.
“I can call an ambulance now. It’s not too late.”
Seung Jo, who was suffocating, felt his head ringing due to lack of oxygen.
“Just stay quiet next to me.”
“We need to keep talking so that you won’t lose consciousness.”
Su Hee, who didn’t forget to nag from time to time, snapped at Seung Jo.
In fact, Seung Jo didn’t show it, but he was getting sensitive, not knowing when he might start hyperventilating.
If he was trapped in the elevator alone, he wouldn’t have been this nervous.
He didn’t even know when the elevator problem would be solved, and if he collapsed too, it was certain that Su Hee would be scared.
“Maybe it’s better… better to stay like this?”
It was when Seung Jo was focusing on his breath to prevent hyperventilation.
Seung Jo, who had his eyelids halfclosed, moved his gaze to the back of his hand.
Su Hee’s hand was placed on the back of his hand.
“Claustrophobia arises from anxiety.”
Without realizing it, Su Hee, who had taken a seat next to him, held his hand tightly enough to transmit her heat to Seung Jo.
“Isn’t it a little better to hold hands?”
It’s more difficult for me if you do this.
“How about it? Are you a little better?”
No… I’m getting worse because of you.
The breath he had been taking smoothly until just now had stopped.
For a moment, it seemed like he had forgotten how to breathe.
