His heart was pounding irregularly, almost as if it would break through his skin.
He knew for sure.
This emotion he was feeling was not anger. It was jealousy, that had surpassed anger, and had no limits of tolerance.
Ha Joon knew Ji An’s expression without having to look at her directly. Because, that was a face she wouldn’t want to show to anyone, a face she wanted to know alone.
Her lips protruded in a pout, her brow narrowed between her dark eyes. Ji An’s voice too, was a voice known only to her.
The pupils of Ha Joon, who was looking at Ji An, seemed about to burst with red blood vessels.
Seeing that Dan Woo had no intention of letting go, Ji An added more to her words.
“If I talk about you, Ha Joon will understand too.”
Dan Woo gently looked down at Ji An. It was a face that really trusted Yoon Ha Joon.
However, the Ha Joon reflected in Dan Woo’s eyes looked like a person blinded by jealousy. It was something only instinct could tell.
Ha Joon would have been no different. Otherwise, there was no reason to be so upset.
Once more, Ji An shook her arm and looked up at Dan Woo. She pointed at his hand with her eyes as if to urge him to let go quickly.
Pretending to be defeated, Dan Woo let go and stepped back.
Ji An approached Ha Joon and flicked her head to point at Dan Woo.
“We seem to have greeted each other, so I’ll just talk about Dan Woo. Dan Woo knows who you are. …We met in Jeju. Of course, I didn’t know you were the CEO then. I found that out today.”
Ha Joon swallowed the mockery and curse that clung to his throat.
The oddly misaligned feelings after Ji An’s trip to Jeju were explained by today’s events. The moment he turned his back on the reality he clearly felt sharply came back.
Ha Joon had dared to think of Ji An’s heart as his own. But that was a misjudgment.
Her heart could have been given to anyone, and moreover, could have been accepted.
With that face that couldn’t hide the fluttering excitement.
Ji An’s voice seeped into Ha Joon’s sarcastic laughter.
“Due to a dual contract, we lived together for a month. Dan Woo on the 2nd floor, me on the 1st. We respected each other’s boundaries, so don’t misunderstand.”
Ha Joon couldn’t close his agape mouth.
It was as if his brain had stopped thinking, and his mind went blank. Let alone his shaking eyes, he didn’t even have the will to hide his emotions.
He didn’t want to believe what she said and hoped it wasn’t true.
In a chokedup voice, Ha Joon asked listlessly.
“Lived together? In the same house?”
“Yes. I explored Jeju alone. Ah! We went to the Media Art Museum together. Since we lived in the same house, we sometimes ate together. We didn’t drink alcohol. Oh, we did have some bingsu, but you can’t really call bingsu alcohol.”
“Did you tell him all about what you like and dislike, occasionally sharing stories about me?”
“Yeah… But why do you sound like that?”
Ha Joon gave an empty laugh.
Was he supposed to understand the meaning of holding hands from those words?
And Dan Woo, the representative, didn’t draw a line in his relationship with Ji An.
He claimed Ji An as his own with words and actions without hesitation. He was supposed to understand this a hundred, a thousand times and just accept this fact.
Ha Joon calmed himself down and told Ji An.
“You should stop trying and go home. I’ll call you.”
“That would be best.”
Dan Woo also turned Ji An around, who was meticulously explaining even the small things. He wanted to discuss the remaining things with Ha Joon alone after she left.
Whether it would be a conversation or a fistfight didn’t matter. It was something that was only possible without Ji An.
Pointing at her own face, Ji An looked back and forth between Dan Woo and Ha Joon.
“So, I’m really going?”
“Go.”
“Yeah, go.”
Ha Joon and Dan Woo responded simultaneously.
The two of them looked as if they were about to leave right away. They stood far apart, unguarded, even waving casually at each other.
So, she had no choice but to believe. No, she wanted to believe.
Ji An pretended to be defeated, turned her back, and took a few steps away. But she couldn’t let go of her worries.
In dramas, webcomics, novels, and movies, don’t the two men left behind always end up fighting after the heroine disappears?
She might be overthinking, but she couldn’t just stand by and let that happen.
Even if the two men acted as if they were about to leave, she had to see it with her own eyes. She had to see them getting into their cars and driving away in different directions.
Ji An turned back, crossed her arms, straightened her posture, and alternated her gaze between the two men, daring them to make a move.
Dan Woo had to suppress his laughter at the thought of ‘She’s not buying it.’
Ha Joon raised an eyebrow, questioning ‘What’s her problem?’ and then asked Ji An in a calm voice.
“Why? Hurry up and go inside.”
“I think it’s better if I see you two off and then go in. I’m just not at ease. The atmosphere was tense.”
“There’s no need for that. Hurry up and go in.”
“Right? I thought so too. So hurry up and go. I’ll go in after I see you leave. It’s less awkward for you two to part ways while I’m still here, right?”
At this, Dan Woo covered his lips with the back of his hand and laughed.
It was a burst of laughter seeing her stubborn behavior, reminding him of a night when it snowed heavily in Jeju.
‘She’s adorable even when she’s being stubborn.’
Meanwhile, Ha Joon scratched his forehead, feeling troubled.
‘How to deceive her, who’s so perceptive.’
Ji An blinked her drowsy eyes like a child, covering her opening mouth. She was desperate to fall asleep.
“Today was really long. I’m so tired that I think I could sleep right here. But I can’t sleep here, can I? So please, I hope you two leave while I’m watching. … It’s Kim Ji An’s wish.”
Ji An sat huddled with her sleepy eyes, propping up her chin, blinking.
As Dan Woo was wondering, ‘Could she possibly lie down here?’ Ji An’s back began to slant. He quickly kneeled on one knee and supported her back with his arm.
“Why would you sleep here? Hurry up and go inside. We won’t do anything to worry you.”
Ji An pulled at Dan Woo’s lapel and pleaded.
“Are you really going home? You’re not going to fight with Ha Joon or anything, right? Please tell me I’m just imagining things.”
“Yes, I’ll go straight home.”
Dan Woo nodded at Ji An’s desperate gaze and gave a faint smile. Then he helped her to stand up and lightly tapped her forehead with his finger.
Everything she did, how it shook his heart.
It wouldn’t be bad to have a drink together. I wonder how much that scene would enchant people.
He brushed off the thought and pointed to the Lakeside Tower’s entrance. He was ready to grant her wish.
“Go inside. I’ll go straight home too.”
Ji An blinked at Ha Joon. It seemed to mean, ‘You’ll do the same, right?’
Ha Joon silently met Ji An’s gaze.
