“It’s my job. Reminding you of your position and purpose. …Don’t be late.”
Only when Tae Yoon firmly closed his mouth and nodded did Dan Woo finally press the elevator close button.
When Dan Woo entered the library, Mi Kyung stood up and bowed neatly.
Dan Woo received the greeting with a light hand gesture and moved on.
Walking along the lined bookshelves, he saw Ji An organizing books with a trolley set up.
Dan Woo’s steps halted at the bookshelf where children’s books were placed.
Naturally, he picked up a book and leaned slightly against the bookshelf, wondering if Ji An would work around.
As she was organizing the disheveled bookshelf, Ji An glanced at Dan Woo, then immediately focused her gaze on the book and asked,
“Reading a fairy tale?”
“There’s not much time, so I need to read a story in a short period.”
Dan Woo smiled at the memory of what happened in the big bookstore last time.
Ji An’s lips also curled into a long smile. He seemed to diligently follow what he had been taught.
Dan Woo observed Ji An in between flipping the pages of the book.
She looked busy taking books out, checking the classification number, and moving up and down the bookshelf.
The skincolored patch stuck to her neck, holding her long hair neatly, caught his eye.
She covered it well.
Her skin seemed sensitive, would she be okay?
Last night, the heat that made her hair stand up had rolled over her pale skin for just a moment. But the mark left by that instant was dark.
Dan Woo pulled his head back to look at Ji An’s face and asked,
“Is your neck okay? Your skin seemed sensitive.”
“This… It’s okay for now.”
Ji An stroked her neck and held back her words. Her skin stung, but it wasn’t unbearable.
Dan Woo focused his gaze back on the book and continued. He wanted to say that he had done everything he could to make things easier for her.
“I couldn’t change the dress code, so I just issued a gag order.”
“A gag order? You mean we’re not allowed to talk about what happened at yesterday’s founding ceremony?”
“Yeah. I said it would be nice if no one had to take responsibility.”
“The CEO’s power really worked. Somehow.”
“It means things went smoothly without any problems?”
“Yes.”
Dan Woo, holding a book, moved towards the window and continued,
“I’ll read this and go. You work.”
Only then did Ji An meet his eyes and open her mouth.
She thought it was a coincidence when she didn’t know Dan Woo was the CEO, but it wasn’t anymore. Ji An asked about the event shelf with the theme ‘Ugly Duckling’.
“Is the event shelf by any chance your creation?”
“I just gave the orders.”
“I was moved. It cheers me up just to look at it.”
“I’m that kind of guy. A guy who only does what you like.”
What he thought about suddenly after Ji An left Jeju was a matter filled with desperation.
He changed the theme from ‘Grimm Brothers’ to ‘Ugly Duckling’ and even contacted hundreds of publishers and libraries around the world to obtain the outofprint book.
It was a product of many people’s efforts in a short amount of time. It was, in essence, the fruit of abuse of power.
Ji An was a book lover, so he believed that she would definitely visit the large openlibrary that appeared in the mall.
The night when the event shelf was completed, Dan Woo sat unknowingly on the floor in front of the shelf as time passed.
Because he desperately wanted to see Ji An.
Because he felt like he would go crazy if he didn’t do something for her.
Dan Woo raised an eyebrow without saying anything else. A subtle smile was spread across his face.
“If you’re grateful, just stay within my sight while I read this book.”
Ji An thought that wouldn’t be hard, so she willingly agreed to his request.
“I will.”
Turning his back to her, Dan Woo walked towards the window.
And he sat slanted on the chair at the reading table. He laid one arm on one side of the table and held the book up with the other. It seemed like he was indicating he would stay here.
Ji An worked back and forth in front of him so that Dan Woo could see.
Having the afternoon sun at his back, Dan Woo looked relaxed and comfortable.
But the thing she thought was trivial made her startled.
When their eyes met, Dan Woo just quietly smiled, but her heart was racing so much she almost lost her grip.
On top of that, his breathing, which was scattered from the top of his head last night, rose up, causing her face to flush.
Ji An bit her lip and hit her face with the book.
I’m going crazy. I’m insane.
Ji An hid behind the bookshelf to calm her wildly beating heart.
Dan Woo laughed while covering his lips with the back of his hand when Ji An hid.
Well, I should’ve been looking at her more intently.
She was such a pretty person that he couldn’t take his eyes off her, so Dan Woo also found it hard to look away.
He walked to the bookshelf where Ji An had hidden, holding the book.
When Dan Woo appeared, Ji An, leaning against the bookshelf, gasped for breath. At that, Dan Woo laughed out loud.
He still smiled as he put the book on the shelf next to Ji An’s face.
“Stop working. I’m going.”
“Huh? Ah.”
“How can you spill such good tea? It makes a person feel good. ……I’ll call you later.”
Ji An couldn’t even ask why because her heart was beating so fast.
When she returned to the information desk, there were about a million hearts bursting from Mi Kyung’s eyes. She fixed her gaze on the back of the young CEO as he walked away.
“Big sister. What did you talk about with the CEO?”
Ji An looked back at Mi Kyung and wore a flustered expression for a moment. But then she smoothly deflected the situation with a natural response.
“That is, the CEO didn’t know where to put the book. So, I told him to just leave it there and I’d take care of it.”
“Ah, I see. ……He’s really handsome.”
“He is.”
Ji An replied casually and blankly stared at Dan Woo’s receding back.
As soon as Dan Woo got off the elevator, Tae Yoon rapidly spilled the words.
“CEO, stop showing off like that! Why are you doing things you never did before?”
“What now?”
“Why are you taking a photoshoot in the library? Back in the States, you never even ventured into the staff lounge or dining hall.”
“……”
“Do you know that your picture is circulating on the company’s messenger?”
Dan Woo shrugged his shoulders.
Who knew they would take a photo?
“In the States, you lived undercover, that’s why. Now, your face is plastered on portals, newspapers, even TV interviews, why hide?”
