“Mr. Do Jun……”
For the first time in front of Hae Joo, he showed his emotions. He spoke so directly and honestly.

Her heart swelled to an immeasurable depth, as desperate as someone standing on the edge of a cliff.

She wondered if such a symptom was normal.

“Did something happen with the director while I was not there?”
Do Jun stood awkwardly. His liplicking image seemed to explode at any moment if touched wrong.

Do Jun didn’t say anything.

As if suppressing his anger, Hae Joo waited quietly too.

“I won’t say why. Just don’t go.”
Hae Joo was perplexed.

Even when they had called yesterday, all Jin Han had said was to have tea after dinner.

But then he suddenly raised some work and asked her to come to the company.

The charity fashion show and party were hosted by the L luxury brand, and the chief designer would attend.

Hae Joo had already received an invitation, so it was not that there was no work.

“Mr. Do Jun.”
“Why?”
“I’ll stop by the company to check the costume and come back. Is that okay?”
“Do you really not know why Director Yoo Jin Han is calling you separately?”
“Because he cares so much about me.”
“The guy who cares about you can’t say to modify a scene with a naughty scene in the movie?”
“That part is……”
Hae Joo was an actress affiliated with GN Entertainment. She had a responsibility to commit sincerely once contracted.

But it wasn’t like Jin Han to call Hae Joo to the company without saying anything in advance.

The reason Hae Joo could be with him was because of his planned and mannered way of handling business, so it was unexpected.

“If you want to go, then go.”
Do Jun turned away completely.

Anyone could see he was angry, and Hae Joo calmly persuaded him.

“Just know that I’m not being dragged around the company.”
“What?”
“What I mean is that I’m neither more nor less than a business relationship with Director Yoo Jin Han.”
“……”
“I thought he might have something to say, so he suggested having tea after dinner.”
There was no fooling Do Jun’s eyes. Jin Han was seeing Hae Joo as a woman, not as a celebrity affiliated with the agency.

“So you’re going?”
“Don’t I have to at least pretend to go since he suddenly says to see for work?”
Hae Joo was a mature member of society. She was entangled in human relationships and couldn’t just live doing what she wanted.

Do Jun didn’t want Hae Joo to go through such uncomfortable daily life. He could handle that alone.

“Do you really want to do that as an actress?”
“It’s the first thing that made me feel special.”
He had been waiting for Hae Joo until now, couldn’t he wait for this one thing?

Who doesn’t know that a little more misery and loneliness would do?

Because he liked her.

He liked Hae Joo…… to the point of madness.

In the end, Do Jun lost again today.

“Go ahead. Do a good job.”
“I’ll just pick out the outfit and be right back.”
“No suggestive stuff.”
“Something moderate.”
“Cover shoulders, back, and thighs.”
Hae Joo’s eyes, now innocent, shot a glance at Do Jun.

Despite being an actress, she felt it was ridiculous to ask her what to wear when everything was eliminated.

“That’s the condition for letting you go.”
“……Got it.”
“I’ll go first.”
“How are you planning to go?”
“By walking.”
“Wait a minute! I’ll give you a ride to the company.”
Do Jun, pretending to be helpless, climbed into the passenger seat.

Hae Joo, feeling somewhat relieved, got into the driver’s seat and fastened her seatbelt.

“I’m going to depart.”
Hae Joo took the narrow road with no separate walkway.

She drove slowly, avoiding pedestrians and oncoming cars.

Then, a car that was rushing despite the narrow road honked its horn, closely tailing her.

“What’s with them?”
Hae Joo checked the car behind her through the rearview mirror. The road had a speed limit of 30 kilometers, but the honking was annoying because she wasn’t driving fast enough.

Eventually, the car dangerously crossed the centerline and pulled up beside Hae Joo’s car.

The driver opened the window and yelled rudely.

“Hey, really! Lady, why are you blocking the road? If you can’t drive, stay home and raise children.”
Startled by the harsh words, Hae Joo stepped on the brake. As she incredulously lowered the car window, Do Jun opened the car door.

“Do Jun, sir!”
“Don’t get out.”
Do Jun got out of the car.

The driver, who had been making a fuss, turned pale at the sight of him with fierce, amber eyes.

His towering physique and height were too much for an average person to handle.

“Say that again.”
“Ah, that’s not it. I was a bit in a rush so my words……”
Do Jun bent his body to match the window of the other car, putting his arm across it. The driver, who had shrunk back, hurriedly swallowed his dry saliva.

“Give me the car key.”
“What? Why, why?”
“To extract the black box file of you using foul language and hand it over to the police?”
“I made a mistake. Please let it pass this once.”
The man belatedly began to beg.

Even so, the foul words he had poured onto Hae Joo were not revoked.

“The car key!”
The driver, crying, reluctantly handed over the car key.
