“Perfume? Yes, I did spray some…”
Se Kyung sniffed her wrist. She didn’t like strong scents so she hadn’t sprayed a lot, but she wondered if the smell was not good.
“Is it strong?”
“No, not at all.”
The scent wafting faintly was so sweet that it made him want to lick it. Was there such a thing among women’s perfumes? He would have known if he had bought some.
“Do you like the scent? What brand is it?”
“It’s not a branded perfume. I blended the scents myself.”
“You made it yourself?”
Se Kyung nodded.
“Yes. When I took a break and went down to the South Sea last time, I stopped by a perfume workshop.”
“A perfume made directly at the workshop…”
If it was made directly at the workshop, wouldn’t it be a oneofakind perfume?
As time passed, he was not sure, but the scent he had smelled at the hotel then seemed similar.
“Do you have it with you now?”
“The perfume? No, I didn’t bring it separately…”
“Why? Do you like it?”
“Yes, it’s nice.”
Se Kyung tensed up her lips.
He must have meant that the scent was nice. His heart almost throbbed in embarrassment because he omitted the subject.
“I’m guessing you’re not going to use it yourself, Mr. Representative. If you like the scent, shall I make it into a diffuser for you?”
“Can you make the same?”
“Yes. I wrote down the blend chart when I first made it. If I call the workshop, they told me they would make it and send it by courier.”
“If I order it, will it smell the same as the perfume Se Kyung sprayed now?”
“Since people do it, there might be a slight error? But it will be similar, right? Unless I’ve messed up the blend chart.”
“Isn’t there a similar perfume on the market?”
“A similar perfume…”
Tae Jo looked down at Se Kyung with narrowed eyes. She, deep in thought, tilted her head.
“There might be somewhere. I’m not sure. It’s not a very unique scent.”
“It’s not unique?”
“No. There were things like Bergamot and Citrus among the oils I blended.”
He didn’t know whether it was citrus or citron, but was it so common? He thought he smelled it for the first time.
“Shall I order one for you, Mr. Representative?”
“No need to go out of your way.”
“It’s not out of the way. I ran out of perfume anyway. If Mr. Representative wants, I will order one more as a diffuser.”
A diffuser…
Tae Jo paused for a moment.
It’s a common scent, so why should he care? He could go to the department store perfume corner tomorrow and look for a similar scent.
“Please do. And the perfume as well.”
However, his mouth was saying something different from the thought that came to his mind.
“The perfume too?”
When Se Kyung asked for confirmation, Tae Jo nodded once.
“Are you planning to give it to a woman as a gift?”
“Oh, don’t you like the idea of someone else using it? It’s common, but it’s the only one you’ve made.”
“That’s not it. Just… I was wondering if the recipient would like it too.”
He wasn’t planning to give it to anyone.
Her worry stemmed from whether the scent wafting from the diffuser and the fragrance Se Kyung possessed would differ.
Tae Jo curled his lips up in a smile as he watched Se Kyung who seemed sulky for no apparent reason.
Just say if you don’t like it. Making such a face and making excuses.
“It was a joke. Who would I give it to? I will keep it. Well, I just wanted to verify something.”
“Verify?”
What was he verifying with my perfume?
His sudden words suggested that he had smelled it somewhere before.
“……”
A sinister premonition suddenly swept over her spine. With a feeling of disbelief, Se Kyung glanced at Tae Jo.
“So, when would it arrive if I ordered it?”
“If you contact them today, it should take about 23 days.”
“Faster than expected. Ah, wait……”
As Tae Jo reached out, Se Kyung flinched.
Lowering her head in curiosity, she found his hand brushing her neck, pulling off something like a white feather.
“It must have got stuck somewhere.”
Tae Jo twirled the feather in his hand. Just then, Je Hoon, who had taken his diary from the office, opened the pantry door.
“Sister, what were you drinking?”
Je Hoon, who nodded to Tae Jo, called Se Kyung.
“Oh. Did you get all the diary?”
“Yes. Let’s go quickly. We’ll be late for shooting.”
“Alright.”
When he saw Tae Jo to greet him, he jerked his chin as if suggesting they leave together.
Tae Jo, standing in front of the elevator, pressed the down button. The elevator, which was coming up, opened its door with a clear sound.
“Go ahead.”
As Se Kyung stepped onto the elevator, Tae Jo waved. His gaze was fixed on the narrowing slit of the closing door.
“……”
Tae Jo stared at the descending elevator and took his hand out of his pocket.
As he opened his clenched fist, the feather he had taken from Se Kyung’s coat fluttered down.
“……This is weird.”
He tilted his head and muttered seriously.
When his hand touched Se Kyung’s neck, it seemed as though scenes from a dream were overlapping.
“Am I dreaming even with my eyes open now?”
Tae Jo frowned, clenching and unclenching his empty hand.
