Eun Jae, standing in front of his apartment, stared at the front door with determination.
“Ao, repaying favors is so damn hard.”
Eun Jae clutched at her throbbing forehead in front of the man’s front door. She turned towards the elevator, but with a resentful heart, she swiftly turned back towards his front door.
“Am I not supposed to be running around like this?”
She wanted to kick down the front door, but she settled for swinging her fist in the air. It seemed like it was the only way to vent her frustrations.
“Who does he think he is to command me?”
Then a tiny incarnation of him sat on Eun Jae’s shoulder and whispered slyly.
‘Who is he? The person you have to repay, that’s who.’
That damn favor.
He saved her and she was grateful, yet it was infuriating. Infuriating but still grateful. It was maddening.
“You’re registered as a visitor, so you can come straight up tomorrow.”
Eun Jae recalled the man’s words, given as he saw her off at the front door, and made a nervous face.
“Thank you, thanks. So very much.”
Even in the midst of all this, she was looking at her hand, which faithfully held the 50,000 won bill he had personally handed to her. It was for taxi fare.
She made such a fuss in front of his door, the teddy bear keyring hanging on her bag fell to the ground. It seemed to have loosened.
“What on earth do you want from me?”
At this point, she thought it would be better if he asked her to do cleaning, laundry, or dishes.
Thinking that would be easier, Eun Jae, who picked up the keyring in irritation, turned her steps with a determination.
In the dark study.
When he opened the curtains, the entrance to the apartment was clearly visible. Sun Woo was looking at that entrance for a while, as if waiting for someone.
Time passed, and a familiar dark silhouette crossed the entrance, looking around cautiously, and walked briskly. Seeing that figure, Sun Woo let out a deflated chuckle.
From the 31st floor, she looked as small as an ant crossing a road. Even so, she was clear as if he were looking at her up close.
Her eyes, which became twice as large when surprised, her cheeks, which flushed apricot when flustered.
The insignificant expressions of hers oddly tickled his heart.
It was a feeling he was experiencing for the first time while watching someone. Sun Woo pressed down on his chest, which was becoming heavy, and rubbed it in circles.
“Do you believe that?”
How would I know where their offices are?
Remembering her appearance, turning pale and running into the apartment when he mentioned the loan shark’s office was nearby, he involuntarily let out a laugh.
That day when they first met, when her touch didn’t affect him, Sun Woo thought.
He wanted to test it.
He wanted to see if her touch would be okay without taking the medicine.
So he wanted to have a conversation safely inside the house. Therefore, he lied.
He didn’t expect her to believe so quickly.
“Or are you naturally gullible?”
If that’s the case, it’s a big problem. He felt like he would want to tease her more and more.
Sun Woo spread out the hand that she had touched. The orange hue of the setting sun seeped in between his fingers.
As she completely disappeared around the corner, Sun Woo closed the curtain without regret.
The study was once again shrouded in darkness.
Sun Woo fiddled with the hand that she had touched, and furrowed his brow.
Upon reflection, he couldn’t understand his actions, which were somewhat impulsive.
What made him let his guard down around her so easily?
He looked down at the slippers he was wearing inquisitively.
The fact that he, who had been reluctant to let even a close friend into his house, had brought a woman he just met into his home, was unbelievable no matter how much he thought about it.
“It’s ridiculous.”
He became curious about the woman who brought out this unfamiliar side of him, even though it was bewildering.
Why was she the only one who was okay?
His heart was drawn to her as he became curious about the reason.
As the image of her eyes, brightly shining even amidst the cautious gaze, surfaced again, the corner of Sun Woo’s lips subtly rose.
It seemed as though her warmth still lingered on his hand.
Would the woman come tomorrow?
“I want to hold it again.”
That sweet, warm hand that exuded a subtle floral fragrance.
Was it déjà vu?
This feeling that the same thing as yesterday was happening.
Eun Jae, standing in front of his apartment, burst out laughing. The laugh burst out because it was so absurd.
Whether it was the person who asked her to come to repay a favor or the person who came because she was told to.
“Ah… Should I just run away?”
After all, the loan sharks had discovered her place, and running away wasn’t a big deal for her.
“If I ran away, would you stay still?”
“I have some expertise in hideandseek.”
“I also have talent in being the seeker.”
After briefly recalling the man’s words, Eun Jae, who looked down at the cell phone in her hand and faintly smiled, muttered softly.
“I’m not going to run away, I won’t.”
It was definitely strange in appearance.
Who gives a cell phone to pay off a favor?
Taking a deep breath, Eun Jae took a step toward the doorbell.
Perhaps because she heard that the loan shark’s office was nearby, she took a taxi today due to anxiety.
She shouldn’t be roaming around like this often, how long would she have to run away? Wouldn’t she get caught someday? If she got caught? What would happen then?
When the image of those people who were chasing her to kill her came to mind, Eun Jae bit her soft lips tightly.
She closed her eyes slightly and organized her thoughts for a moment. Then, she immediately reached out and pressed the doorbell.
A while had passed since she pressed the doorbell, but there was no response.
Perhaps it took time to walk out due to the size of the house. He wasn’t the type to rush out…
Even so, wasn’t this taking too long?
As she reached out to press the doorbell again, the door suddenly opened.
That was quick.
She thought so and greeted him.
“Hello”
She couldn’t finish her greeting.
Before she could even bow her head, his moist eyes met hers in midair.
A droplet of water that was hanging weakly on his soaked hair fell slowly to the floor, like a scene in slow motion.
Along with the falling water droplet, Eun Jae’s gaze fell to the man’s feet. That gaze passed over his lower body, precariously covered with just a towel, and landed on his solidly built upper body.
Confronted with the man’s body, which was so clearly exposed as if it were a piece of art, Eun Jae stepped back in fright.
The man leaned against the front door and smiled lightly.
“Yes, hello.”
As the man she made eye contact with greeted her, she felt her face heating up in an instant.
As if she wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen it even though she had, Eun Jae quickly turned around, covering her obviously flushed face with both hands.
At the woman’s unnatural behavior, Sun Woo glanced down at his attire.
A faint snicker escaped him.
Why was she in such a rush to run out like this?
He felt like he could see the expression of the woman who had turned around. She would surely be blushing bright red on her cheeks. It made him want to continue to tease her.
Sun Woo slowly raised the corners of his mouth and ran his hand through his hair in a leisurely manner.
“I was showering.”
Thump thump thump thump.
At the sound of the man’s voice, Eun Jae’s heart started to race uncontrollably.
“I also have a habit of rushing unnecessarily.”
At the man’s languid voice, Eun Jae shouted out hastily without turning around.
“II’ll wait outside. Take your time getting dressed.”
The afterimage of the man’s body she had just seen was flickering in her mind, making her neck heat up.
“Why, trying to run away again?”
