His clear pupils swirled suddenly.
Hae Joo was in close proximity to Do Jun, as if they were about to collide.
“You knew me from the beginning, didn’t you? Right!”
“I asked if you remembered.”
Hae Joo’s mind and body were complexly entwined, fearing she might have fallen into a bad trap.
If so, she had to get out of here immediately.
But there was no sign of hostility in Do Jun’s eyes. Instead, he brightened his pupils like a child and kept Hae Joo in his sight.
“I don’t know Mr. Do Jun. Neither your brother.”
“I thought so.”
He stood up straight, disappointment etched on him.
As he was about to turn and leave, Hae Joo’s hand grasped Do Jun’s arm.
“Don’t avoid it, answer me. How do you know me?”
“Just coming and going… that’s all.”
“What did you say?”
“Living in the same area, wouldn’t we have brushed past each other at least once?”
“Speak in a way that’s easy to understand.”
“That’s really all it is.”
Do Jun didn’t forcibly push away the hand that Hae Joo held. Instead, he lowered his arm so she could stay a little longer.
These little actions of his occasionally threw Hae Joo into confusion.
He seemed bad, but he wasn’t.
His clumsiness yet hidden delicacy bloomed a hot flower in Hae Joo’s shriveled soul.
He turned his head slowly. Before she knew it, Hae Joo was reflected in his pupils, which had lost their thorns.
“If you’re so suspicious of me, you can leave this house.”
“….”
“Divorce or whatever, I’ll do as you wish.”
Do Jun’s attitude was distinctly different from when he dealt with Jin Han.
In front of Hae Joo, he was just a big beast holding its breath.
Did this make her feel like he was telling her not to leave…?
His first impression was a sharp image that could seem arrogant. But despite his charisma that carried a chill, his gaze towards Hae Joo held heated breath.
It was a subtle gap.
“You don’t need to feel burdened. Stay here comfortably.”
Hae Joo was reminded of the movie Edward Scissorhands. The protagonist, with his scissor hands and unique appearance, lived hidden in a massive castle, concealing his existence.
Somehow, this house gave her that kind of feeling.
Though it was a modern architectural building with a tall wall and a cold feel, the interior harmoniously blended with wood.
“Do you live alone in this house?”
“It was originally built for my father, but he was moved to a nursing home recently.”
“I see.”
“I’ll show you the room.”
“….!”
In the living room were two housekeepers carrying luggage, and Manager Song was also there.
He volunteered to introduce the house, something that could have been tasked to Manager Song.
Whether or not this was a planned action, it was surprising.
Do Jun, who was walking ahead, hurried Hae Joo, who stood there blankly.
“What are you doing?”
“Let’s go.”
“The first floor was set up for leisure.”
The building had three floors.
So, from the outside, the wall reaching up to the roof could only look high.
He, having ascended to the second floor, chose one of the many doors.
“This is your room, so tell Manager Song if you need anything.”
Do Jun opened the door himself. A large window close to the trees in the garden captivated Hae Joo’s gaze.
The room was painstakingly decorated, starting from the bed.
In particular, the subtle light from the fixtures situated here and there harmonized well with the wooden furniture.
“This is the dressing room. That door over there also leads to my room.”
Half of the dressing room was a space for Hae Joo.
Hae Joo, who had been looking at his mostly monochrome clothes and accessories, asked,
“Did you clear out all this space because of me?”
“All my belongings are here. I’m not interested in shopping.”
“Oh.”
“This is my room.”
Do Jun’s room had only a bed and lighting.
Despite being smaller than Hae Joo’s room, it felt empty.
“This is Mr. Do Jun’s room?”
“I have enough with this. Follow me.”
The place they headed after leaving the room was the third floor. The third floor had a remarkable structure with windows and a ceiling like a European attic.
“This is the library and thirdfloor terrace. Feel free to use it.”
Every time Do Jun introduced the house, Manager Song quietly followed. He waited until the house tour was over and then relayed his message.
“Ma’am, please have a meal.”
“Only me?”
Hae Joo looked straight at Do Jun.
Leaning against the terrace, he revealed his yet unfinished schedule.
“I have to go out again. Might have a drink.”
Do Jun checked the time, stating he had a commitment.
Hae Joo stepped aside as if he had come despite having work.
“From now on, I’ll manage on my own, so please attend to your business.”
“You talk just like a man.”
“But I am a man, right? Is there anything else you want?”
“Maybe.”
Jin Han said that Do Jun was a moneycrazed person. Hae Joo shot back, thinking that his ambition could reveal its true colors at any time.
“Or should I pay rent?”
Do Jun gestured to Manager Song to go down.
Only two people were left on the third floor.
“Should I pay rent to you?”
“If you need it, say how much.”
“Do you have a lot of money?”
“Enough to get by.”

really disliked him
