Starting from entering the pit at the risk of danger, every time he looked at me with a profound gaze, even though I knew it was a mistake, I kept being drawn to him.

Whether to save me or not. No, just taking me home would be enough. Why clean up and tell me all those ups and downs about understanding people’s hearts! I’d rather change my job. No, that’s not possible! If I do that, Soyeon will have a hard time.

“Ah, I’m really going crazy!”

The frustrated Dosoon banged his head against the center of the steering wheel.

Bbaang!

“Ah, s**t! That startled me!”

Angered by his own claxon sound, Dosoon, surprised by the sound of his own claxon, nervously tore at his front hair, twisting it frantically.

Then, it was the moment when he raised his gaze forward.

“Heok!”

Dosoon’s breath, who jumped up from the driver’s seat, stopped abruptly.
Despite my efforts to avoid him, somehow Gowon-ho was standing right in front of the car. What’s more, this wasn’t even the company; it was in front of the prosecutor’s office. How on earth did he find me!

“Let’s open the door!”

Click-clack, his eyes, confirming that the car door was locked, scowled like an angry person. Unable to help it, Dosoon unlocked the car’s lock, and as soon as Wonho sat in the passenger seat, Dosoon suddenly asked.

“Why did you come here?”

“Why are you avoiding me, Yeo Dosoon?”

“I’ve been wavering, confused. If you don’t love me, you’ve done everything, even sleeping with me. Now, there’s only one time left, and I wanted to save that for later.”

“Is that so? Huh…”

He smirked. I’m serious here. Just messing around with people. That’s why I’m going crazy.

“No, that’s not it. My feelings are still the same, but if we meet today, it means I’ll be completely broken with the president. So, I have to avoid it.”

She was right. I also came chasing after Yeo Dosoon with the excuse of filling that last time. However, ironically, that wasn’t all.
Her bouncy figure, like a firm ball, kept catching Wonho’s eyes, making it impossible for him to focus on anything else. Therefore, I pondered deeply on why I felt this way.

So, I decided to meet her first and discuss this matter again. I had asked several people about her actions to come this far, and now that we had met, it was time to express my thoughts.

“What if we do it this way?”

“What are you talking about?”

Dosoon’s eyes, now thinner, glanced at Wonho. It meant to speak without hesitation.

“As you know, I’ve been opposing my parents’ marriage pressure lately. So, I thought, what if we date for another year? I just need my parents to believe that.”

It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Firstly, it would give me some time to escape from my father’s financial pressure. It might be a bit selfish, but forgetting the conscience that said I shouldn’t meet her for now, maintaining the current good relationship for a little longer seemed plausible.

Furthermore, Gowonho could propose such a thing several times.

Even though it might sound absurd to Dosoon, and the acceptance possibility of this unlikely proposal was slim, it was the nature of a business person to confidently place a reckless bet until his intention was accepted.

“So, are you saying you want to be a shield for the president? And for a whole year?”

“You catch on fast.”

“Wow, do you think I’d accept the president’s proposal so easily? Ridiculous…”

It was about to blurt out a swear word like a starry dog’s tail. At that very moment, Dosoon calmly looked down at Gowonho’s hand, which was sliding between his fingers.

“……!”

Ah, let go! Did I just see this bad guy!

Although she got angry, Dosoon couldn’t refuse his hand.

Because, no matter how much she thought about it, she seemed to already love this man. Ending it with Gowonho right away wasn’t something she desired either.

Since it came to this, it seemed like a loss to not try until the end. Just being able to see my first man a little longer was a gain. No, above all, even if he says he doesn’t love me, I have to cherish my love for him.

But a year is too long.

Although it’s not over until it’s over, anything should be done quickly; otherwise, I might dry up with inner conflict before half a year. I absolutely couldn’t do that. So, I’ll do it my way. I’ll shake Gowonho briefly and firmly.

Very much like Yeo Dosoon!

Having realized that she was the slave of love at this moment, Dosoon mixed her tense voice with a sigh that exhaled deeply.

“Well, okay. But not for a year.”

“How long, then?”

“About a month would be possible.”

“Since you’re doing it, let’s make it six months.”

“Three months! Anything longer is absolutely out of the question!”
“Alright. Let’s make it three months!”

“No extending beyond three months!”

As if they had made a groundbreaking deal during a summit meeting, both of them simultaneously requested a handshake.

“Miss Dosoon, there’s no running away within three months!”

“Of course!”

It was like a maze of war-like love.

Taking their first steps into that place, Wonho and Dosoon held hands, gazing at each other, smiling.
