He pulled Ji An closer, lowered his head and whispered.
“Even when you smile brightly, your face still looks sad. So let’s stay here for a while. ……In fact, I was thinking of going home after finishing here because I lied.”
Hearing the scattering voice in her ear, Ji An thought.
She tried to deny the strange feelings she had for Dan Woo, but it was a hard task.
The Woo Dan Woo in front of her now was the person who smiled while blocking the dazzling sunlight with his large hand, the person who sympathized with her pain.
Ji An tried to speak, then firmly shut her mouth and tightened her body. The words scattering from between her lips were all trembling.
She thought it was due to the cold air, but it seemed to be because Dan Woo was there.
As if reading Ji An’s innermost thoughts, he whispered again.
“It’s good to see me, right?”
Dan Woo laughed at his own words, his broad back shaking.
While pushing her long hair back, Dan Woo spoke with his lips close to her ear. His voice was full of laughter.
“Your voice shakes every time you speak, it’s because of me. You like a goodlooking guy who is also a representative.”
“Are you joking now?”
“It’s not a joke, I feel the same way. ……While giving a speech on the stage, I found you among all those people. No, I saw you. Should I pretend to know? Or should I avoid you today pretending I don’t know? I was worried because I didn’t know your feelings. But I also thought that I should confess before it was too late.”
She looked up at Dan Woo’s eyes as he added more. She could tell that his words were sincere.
“But in reality, I wanted to throw everything away and comfort you first. ……I’m not that kind of guy. I’ve never worried about hurting others’ feelings.”
As his voice came closer, something small seemed to bloom inside her.
Ji An, feeling her ears burning, pushed Dan Woo away.
As his arms released her, she pointed to the entrance.
“First, get out of here.”
“But, I should have just done as before. Then, I wouldn’t have troubled you like this.”
Dan Woo recalled the moment he had hesitated with Ji An. He had always been desirous but thought he shouldn’t have.
He hated the idea of her finding out about the weak self he once was and was worried she might be in danger because of him.
But the current Woo Dan Woo was not weak and was capable of protecting what was his.
As Ji An hurriedly stepped back, Dan Woo approached with a wide stride and a bright smile.
Only when she was trapped between the bookshelf and his chest did she realize. She wasn’t running away, but being driven by his steps.
“You’re really mean.”
“I told you I’m a bad guy. Not all books are good books.”
“Woo Dan Woo!”
She exclaimed his name in surprise and laughed out loud. Her laughter burst out as if the words were not wrong but sounded mean.
Dan Woo leaned on the bookshelf with both arms and trapped Ji An so she couldn’t escape.
“Don’t laugh like that. It makes me want to do more things and it’s driving me crazy.”
“What are you going to do? Now, move aside.”
Ji An bit her lip. She was vaguely guessing Dan Woo’s intentions and was on maximum defense.
Dan Woo smiled sweetly and tilted his head slightly.
When Ji An took a step to the side, looking for an escape, he loosened his arms as if suggesting she should continue.
If she pushed him, he would pretend to be beaten and lean back, but then he would trap her again. The actions of the two gradually intensified.
The moment Ji An, who was pushing Dan Woo away, hit her back against the bookshelf due to the recoil, the bookshelf shook.
As the books that were inserted at the top fell with a thud, Dan Woo bent his upper body and completely covered Ji An.
The book that fell from the bookshelf hit his back and fell on the floor with a loud noise.
The veins in Dan Woo’s arm that was wrapping Ji An were bulging.
“Stop running away. Before I steal your lips too.”
Ji An, accepting his gaze looking down at her, spoke. The narrow space created by his body was dark, and their faces were all that was reflected in each other’s eyes.
“You said you won’t if I don’t like it. … Is your shoulder okay?”
“No, it’s not okay. It hurts because you said that. Because I think I can’t kiss.”
“Pfft.”
The sound of laughter hit his chest and came back. And Dan Woo’s laughter dispersed from his forehead.
Ji An somehow felt good, like watching petals blowing in the spring breeze.
I like you, who is wrapping around me.
She dug deeper into Dan Woo’s chest and wrapped her arm around his back. And she murmured low.
“It seems to be okay since you said it’s a book. Today, you’re my book. … But I only read good books.”
Yeah. What’s the matter.
Dan Woo spoke slowly, stretching his lips long.
“What you saw… I was being introduced to attorney Yoon Ha Joon.”
Dan Woo released the arm that was holding Ji An. He then took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders and took her hand.
“I knew the name so I thought it might be the same person. Your sister was approaching while greeting attorney Yoon.”
Surprised, Ji An widened her eyes and looked up at him and asked.
“Genesis? How did you know Genesis is my sister?”
Dan Woo moved his steps, interlacing his fingers between her small ones. He stopped in front of the long reading table in the center and sat Ji An on it.
Dan Woo, holding the corners of the table with both arms, looked straight into Ji An’s eyes.
Dan Woo honestly shared what he had heard and seen in Genesis’s waiting room.
“The truth is, I was in front of that waiting room while you were in there. It was a visit to exchange greetings because of this performance.”
Ji An remembered what had happened in the waiting room and her vision went dark.
Even if she dismissed the situation with Genesis’s agency people, who she always saw as okay, she had run past that place with her head down, feeling like there were people in front of the waiting room.
Just that Dan Woo had to be there.
It was a sight she really didn’t want to be seen.
It was gloomy to think that she had blatantly revealed the appearance she wanted to hesitate and hide. She put forth an excuse.
“My mom must have been a little sensitive. If my sister is in front of a performance, she is a bit picky about people. Because she has trauma. And yet, my mother has to care for Genesis. So, maybe,”
Her words didn’t find an end. Looking at his gaze, it didn’t seem very effective.
It was because Dan Woo held up his cheek that got slapped and looked down at his fingers wrapped in a dressing band.
“Ji An.”
Dan Woo could not forget his words and raised his head on Ji An’s shoulder.
He buried his head deeper, holding back the pouring out regrettable words. Soon, the breath that seeped out of his lips tickled Ji An’s skin.
Ji An sneakily slipped her shoulder out and called Dan Woo.
“Dan Woo.”
“You are beautiful. Both your heart and your words. Everything is beautiful, so just stay like this for a while.”
