“Ah, really. Kim Yu Na!”
Having hung up the phone, Ji Hoon called out Yu Na’s name with a nervous expression and sent the parttimer who had been working back.

It was due to the impending actions of Kim Yu Na that were about to descend upon them.

How she would cling to the parttimers and drone on.

Wouldn’t she ask if there were any women coming to the convenience store?

And if a woman did come, wouldn’t she hand over her business card and ask them to contact her right away?

Because of such actions of Yu Na, there had been several parttimers who had quit.

If Su Ah had continued working, wouldn’t she have been one of them? Fortunately, during her shift, Su Ah had never encountered Yu Na.

How hard it was to find a parttimer as meticulous and diligent as Su Ah after she quit.

He couldn’t afford to lose such a parttimer because of Yu Na.

“Brother! I’m here.”
How fast must she have come? Not long after hanging up the phone, Yu Na entered the convenience store.

“Where did the parttimer go and why are you like this?”
“Why are you looking for the parttimer? If you have something to say, say it quickly and leave. As you can see, I’m extremely busy.”
Ji Hoon checked the expiration date on the back of the displayed bread.

“They said the marketing team got off work early today. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“As I always say, why on earth do I have to tell you that…”
“If you had told me, I would have timed my leave to match.”
Is she even listening to what I’m saying?

“Can I tell Ha Joon about you skipping work like this?”
“Uh, you can tell him. Even if you do, Ha Joon won’t be able to fire me.”
Yu Na shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal, crossing her arms.

“Kim Yu Na, you’re too reliant on your parents.”

“No? I am relying on my own abilities, aren’t I?”
Yu Na raised her chin, exuding confidence.

“Won’t it be a loss to the company to fire a competent talent like me? Surely, Brother Ha Joon can calculate at least that much.”
Indeed. It couldn’t be denied that the products Yu Na had designed over the years had brought tremendous profits to the company.

Ji Hoon was at a loss for words in the face of Yu Na’s wellgrounded confidence.

Since she was young, Yu Na had always been like this.

She always wore a confident expression, not hiding her emotions at all.

[I like you, Brother.] [It’s worth having a crush.] [Don’t you want to date me?] Despite his own rejections to Yu Na’s confessions, the fact that they were still at a standstill showed that she clearly had no intention of listening to Ji Hoon.

“Ha, fine. Why would I bother talking to you? If you’ve seen me, can you just leave now? I told you I’m busy.”
“I’ll help. I’m super free.”
Without bothering to ask for permission, Yu Na boldly stepped behind the counter.

Who would break that stubbornness?

Ji Hoon also followed Yu Na behind the counter.

“I don’t want your help, so just sit quietly and don’t get in the way.”
“Sure. I’ll sit very quietly, like a statue.”
Yu Na crossed her legs on a chair placed in one corner, propped her chin on the counter, and looked at him.

At her figure, Ji Hoon shook his head lightly, picking up the water he had put on the counter.

It was a mystery why his throat became particularly dry whenever he saw Yu Na.

The moment Ji Hoon opened the cap and took a sip of water.

“Have you thought about drinking me instead of water?”
Puh! What, what do you mean, drink?

The water, which had not yet passed his throat, splashed out of Ji Hoon’s mouth.

“Cough, cough. What? You just, what did you say? Cough.”
As if choking, Ji Hoon’s pupils shook violently with his repetitive coughing.

“Why are you so flustered? I’m just asking for your opinion.”
“How can a girl like you say such a thing so nonchalantly?”
“Well, I’m saying ‘catch me’ like this, and since you don’t respond, I have no choice but to ask directly.”
Unlike Ji Hoon, whose face had turned pale and was speechless, Yu Na’s expression was infinitely serene.

“So, let’s stop this now……”
Just as Yu Na was about to speak, the door opened with a dingdong sound, and a customer walked in.

“Ah, welcome.”
Ji Hoon hastily wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth.

“Oh? It’s Manager Brother. Brother!”
Two high school girls ran towards Ji Hoon with bright smiles.

“Brother. Why haven’t you been around? We’ve been waiting.”
Brother? Waiting? Who was waiting for whom?

Yu Na’s brow furrowed as she looked at the high school girls, and anticipating this reaction, Ji Hoon hurriedly checked on Yu Na.

Why now of all times……

At the sight of Yu Na’s expression, as if she was about to cause a scene at any moment, cold sweat trickled down Ji Hoon’s back.

“Ah? Ah. I’ve been busy and couldn’t come. Have you girls been doing well?”
“No. How could we have been fine without you?”
Thud. With a loud noise, Yu Na rose from her seat.

Clipclop. Why did the sound of her heels seem especially sharp today?

The sound of each step pierced his eardrums.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most

One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.

This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:

1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.

It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.

(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)

2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.

The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.

3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.

Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).

Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.

Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.

4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
