There was something he absolutely had to do before today was over. It was something important that involved Eom So Yeon, which made his heart race, and that’s why he couldn’t help but be in a hurry.

“Is it tomorrow?”

Yes, tomorrow. You must go to that appointment. You should go out and meet him without even thinking about quickly escaping as soon as you see him.

Cha Yeo Jung’s voice, ordering her son, was persistent and firm.

“Escape? I had to do that last time because of an urgent matter.”
I have translated the Korean paragraph into English while keeping the exact same number of lines as the original. Here is the translation:

It’s noisy! Could I possibly not recognize my own son? But this time is different. She’s a woman from a meticulous family, so pay special attention.

“…….”

Since your father personally arranged this matchmaking, remember that this time you must go all the way to marriage.

“…….”

Why no response?

“Do we really have to go this far?”

You talk too much. Just answer with ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’

“Yes… understood.”

Wonhoo, ending the call with Cha Yeojeong, let out a resigned sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose with two fingers, a mixture of irritation and resignation in his voice.

“If you can’t avoid it, might as well enjoy it.”

If you can’t avoid it, might as well enjoy it.

Marriage is the same, isn’t it? Your parents want it that way, and if you do just that, you can focus on your business without any problems. So, what’s the big deal about marriage? There’s really no reason not to…

But why does that unenthusiastic face keep acting so mature?

“Ha, I think I’m going crazy!”

He didn’t expect the aftermath of his physical mishap to be so severe. The crack on his smooth forehead was there without permission, all thanks to Yeodo Soon, who freely roamed inside someone else’s mind.

Her appearance was decent enough, but her personality was like a butler without any charm or cuteness. Is that the kind of woman he would like? Wonhoo found himself more irritated as he thought about her.

Earlier today, in the corridor at the office, he briefly ran into Yeodo Soon. But as soon as she saw him, why did she quickly step back? It was uncomfortable, so he asked her, “Why are you running away? Do you think I’m dirty?”

“Yes? Oh, yes!”

With that short answer, she disappeared swiftly in front of him, avoiding contact as if she didn’t want to speak with him. Did she really think I’m that dirty?

“Wow, me…!”

So, I’m really dirty, is that it?

Wonhoo stood up abruptly from his desk in the executive office because an unexpected chill ran down his spine. He strode to the window, his long legs moving briskly, and his chest surged with excitement.

The sky outside the window was burning in the crimson glow of the setting sun. He realized, finally, that the sky and his own heart were no different.

“Seriously, I might go crazy!”

The memory of Yeodo Soon’s slender body and the sensation of her soft touch rushed vividly into his mind. Why am I thinking about this now?

Then, it happened.

Beep, beep, his phone on the desk rang.

Mr. President!

“Ye…do Soon?”

The voice that came through the phone was loud, as if there was a lot of commotion around. It seemed like she was in a place like a bar.

Mr. President, I want to clarify something. Your style isn’t my type either!

“!”

How does she know what I just said…?

Could it be some kind of trick? Wonhoo’s heart sank, and he quickly scanned the executive office.

Someone is running around in my head.

“Why are you suddenly saying such strange things?”

Because of you, Mr. President, my heart keeps racing! So, let’s meet just once. I’m not asking you to take responsibility, so don’t be afraid. I just want to figure out why my heart is acting up like this.

“…”

Are you drinking alone again?

Are you trying to cause trouble again?

Just once… Suddenly, he felt the urge to drink… He was still thinking about it.

“So, where are you?”

His legs were already moving toward where Yeodo Soon was, even though his mind was still contemplating.

It’s a covered wagon near Apgujeong Crossroad.

“Are there only one or two covered wagons there?”

If you don’t like it, just say so! Why are you being so difficult? Fine, don’t come!
I have translated the Korean paragraph into English while keeping the exact same number of lines as the original. Here is the translation:

“No, I didn’t get angry; I just wanted to know the exact location…”

Ddudduddu…

“Hello? Yeodo Soon!”

The call suddenly disconnected.

Even when he tried calling again, she didn’t answer.

She had told him to come after calling first, and now she was saying no!

Frustrated, Wonhoo drove his car onto the road and called Yeodo Soon several times. However, her phone seemed to be completely turned off.

“Who does she think she is? This woman, what’s going on?”

Fuming, Wonhoo muttered to himself as he turned the steering wheel toward Apgujeong-dong.
