As they solved problems together, Jiyoon recalled Jieun, who had worked at the test prep academy. There were times when I almost made a call without realizing it.
“Let’s just go to the academy. I’ll support it for the sake of employee welfare.”
Hajun, showing signs of inconvenience, eventually said, not willing to help with the problems.
“Why not?”
“Just because. Academy fees are not a joke.”
If he didn’t want to help, Jiyoon pulled the test book towards herself, as if saying not to say anything.
Then, looking at the answer key and listening to the online lecture, she squinted her eyes seriously. No matter how much she listened, she seemed to understand nothing, scratching her head with her finger.
Three days later.
Hajun and Lawyer Park were on their way back from the club where Woojunhyun had been arrested.
He held the steering wheel and looked at the lazily spread afternoon sunshine.
At that moment, a familiar person came into view from afar. Holding hands and crossing the crosswalk, it was Jian and Danwoo.
Finally, Hajun realized that he was near the playground.
He tried to turn his head elsewhere, but it wouldn’t move as if someone had forcibly fixed it in place.
Under the autumn sun, Jian’s hair, tied up as one, caught his eyes first.
Then, frequently worn sneakers and comfortable clothing successively filled his view.
Next to Jian, holding hands with Danwoo, her bag hung on his back.
His gaze finally stopped at the faces of the two people smiling at each other.
‘She still looks good.’
Unaware that the signal had changed, Hajun watched Jian gradually move away, his mind drifting away.
‘I thought she was doing better, but it’s still hard to see!’
At that moment, Clarkson blared from the car behind.
Surprised, Hajun quickly manipulated the gear and stepped on the accelerator.
“Snap out of it! What are you doing?”
As Lawyer Park scolded, he pressed the radio switch, and a familiar song started playing.
It was a song with lyrics that said, “If it hurts too much, it’s not love.”
Hajun unknowingly hummed along with the song and, before he knew it, laughed softly.
Even just hearing the intro, he thought the song would stop his heart.
Now, it had become so annoying that he let out a bitter laugh, saying, ‘Oh, this darn song.’
Although he had seen Jian, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
That night.
A private room in Hanu Village.
It was a meal gathering created at Jiyoon’s insistence to treat her because she claimed to feel empty.
It started as a meal, but the gathering eventually turned into a drinking session.
Lawyer Park left first, and Hajun, still drunk, watched Jiyoon, who kept calling him “Ajusshi.”
He was in the midst of hearing complaints about her forcibly taking the TOEIC academy registration and study certificates.
“So, you say it’s for employee welfare, but I can’t receive this academy certificate. That’s sympathy, isn’t it?”
“It’s support for talents.”
Hajun hoped that when Jiyoon woke up tomorrow morning with a hangover, she would only remember that much.
Still, she repeated the same words with the same tone and didn’t deviate a single word.
“You say it’s support?”
“Support for talents.”
“Okay. Since I’m quite talented.”
While doing so, Jiyoon glanced at Hajun, shaking the empty bottle upside down.
Hajun, sitting like a statue, sternly nodded.
He was ready to leave if she drank more.
“I’ll stop here. Thank you for today. Goodbye.”
She bowed and left, crushing her hat against her back.
Following her, Hajun walked slowly, keeping pace with Jiyoon heading home.
Even though she was staggering, he hesitated to intervene, fearing she might fall.
‘Just one more bottle. I’m not drunk yet.’
Shouldn’t have believed those words.
With a long, empty gaze and an innocent smile, she allowed another “just one more bottle,” and eventually, she was in the same predicament again.
At that moment, Jiyoon sat down on the floor, shaking her body back and forth.
Only then did Hajun reluctantly tilt his head and walk towards her, sitting down with his back facing her.
“Get up.”
“Oh! It’s your back, Ajusshi. When did you follow me?”
“No time. Get up quickly. Or I’ll just leave you here.”
“No, no, no. I’ll get up.”
Jiyoon, who had been staggering enough to sit down on the floor just a while ago, reached her arms forward.
But the action of sticking close to Hajun’s back and wrapping her arms around his neck was so natural that it seemed to happen effortlessly.
Hajun sighed deeply and stood up.
“Ajusshi, but until when will you stay at our lawyer’s office? Aren’t you going anywhere else?”
“I’ll stay until you become a lawyer.”
“But, um, if I go to the TOEIC academy, will you keep your promise to make me a lawyer later?”
“If you don’t like me being a corrupt lawyer, find another lawyer.”
“No, it’s not that. I like you. Actually, when I went to your house last time, it was because I wanted to see you.”
Hajun walked silently without responding.
‘Why would you like someone like me? I’m not that great.’
It wasn’t the first time he heard a confession from a girl. It had always been Jian who replaced him and consistently rejected such proposals.
At some point, he should have quickly rejected her, thinking it might hurt Jiyoon.
But Hajun pretended not to know Jiyoon’s feelings, repeatedly delaying the next response.
The situation where he kept postponing the answer was somewhat amusing.
Tomorrow morning, Jiyoon, who woke up from her hangover, wouldn’t remember anything as usual.
It was likely that she would ask if he knew how she got home.
‘Then, I’ll just casually say I don’t know and give her a lecture.’
In fact, if he didn’t create such a situation at all, it would have been easily resolved.
However, Hajun, who was repeatedly dragged into gatherings under the pretext of company dinners, couldn’t understand why he kept doing this.
“I like you, Ajusshi.”
“…….”
When Jiyoon received no response, she pressed her gloomy face against Hajun’s back.
Then her heartbeat echoed in her ears.
Hajun didn’t know how long he would trust his alcohol tricks, but Jiyoon hoped that time would come later.
‘If she says she doesn’t remember tomorrow, it’s fine.’
Perhaps, when he became a lawyer and confessed, there might be a chance for an answer.
Jiyoon hoped that Hajun would stay by her side until that moment.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
