If I had thought a little deeper, I could have figured it out soon.
No, how could I have figured it out? Other than having the same last name and working in the same hospital, was there anything else I could infer?
What made Eun Jae uneasy was not that Tae Kyu was Sun Woo’s cousin. It was the fear that my presence might disrupt his plans.
If I were caught here, the opportunity might never come again. The more that thought dominated her mind, the more anxious she became.
With a face that worked hard to erase the emotions she didn’t want to reveal, Eun Jae calmly faced Tae Kyu. Tae Kyu still held her wrist so tightly that her fingers were turning white.
“Answer me.”
Her numb palm was tingling. The pain in her gripped wrist was becoming unbearable, Eun Jae struggled with all her might to free her wrist from Tae Kyu.
“Let go of this, let’s talk, it hurts!”
Eun Jae, worried that the sound might leak outside, cautiously lowered her voice as much as possible. Nevertheless, she clearly showed her discomfort.
“Why are you looking at me like that? If someone sees, they might think there is something between you and me.”
Tae Kyu, still staring at Eun Jae, only increased his grip on her wrist. Stretching out his left hand, Tae Kyu closed the open door and roughly pushed Eun Jae against the closed door.
“Why are you really doing this?”
Leaning against the door, Eun Jae who was looking up at Tae Kyu frowned.
“Ji Eun Jae.”
His gaze seemed to demand an explanation for the situation, and Eun Jae felt she couldn’t provide any answer.
Avoiding his gaze by turning her head seemed to be the best thing Eun Jae could do right now. As she avoided his gaze, Tae Kyu’s hand quickly descended, grabbing her chin and turning it back to face him.
“Look me in the eye and talk.”
“What about?”
“You can’t be serious about this.”
Her heart dropped to her feet. The thumping of her heartbeat muddled her mind.
What was it that seemed so evident?
Eun Jae, examining herself, struggled to regain her composure.
“What do you mean?”
A corner of Tae Kyu’s mouth, who was quietly looking down at Eun Jae, curled up.
Eun Jae’s eyes, lost in thought, were shaking. As the certainty that her premonition was correct set in, a wave of disappointment hit her.
That was the kind of person Sun Woo was. If it was about Yeon Rim, he would have endlessly pondered how he could hold it in his hands.
That the method was Ji Eun Jae…
“You don’t know Sun Woo. That guy, if he gets his hands on the hospital—”
Tae Kyu, clenching his teeth, started warning Eun Jae, but then he raked his hand through his hair, leaving his sentence unfinished.
How did they meet, where on earth.
Tae Kyu found it hard to accept the picture of the two who had absolutely no point of contact.
“Sun Woo is not sincere to you.”
“……”
Eun Jae’s mouth shut tightly at the words that seemed to hit the mark.
Once he gets that hospital, we will go back to being nothing to each other.
But it was not a marriage that only benefited him. That man saved me from crisis twice and was a benefactor who helped me live like a human.
I thought that was surely enough.
Initially, I didn’t hope for his feelings, but facing reality with Tae Kyu’s words, Eun Jae felt a sting in her chest as if pricked by a needle.
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Why do you judge him according to your thoughts?”
“Don’t get married.”
Eun Jae chuckled as if she couldn’t believe the serious warning.
“What are you to say that?”
“I know everything. Why your mother’s shop ended up like that. Is it because of that?”
“What do you mean?”
Tae Kyu, who had let out a deep sigh, couldn’t hold back anymore. He let out the words he had suppressed, without a filter, in a fit of anger.
“Did Sun Woo repay some debt?”
“Yoon Tae Kyu!”
It felt as if he was peering into her heart and rummaging through it. It was not incorrect, but it hurt her anew, reminding her of what she had been trying to forget.
Eun Jae bit her lower lip painfully hard, praying inwardly not to reveal her feelings, she held on.
Finally, Tae Kyu’s hold on her wrist loosened. Tae Kyu, holding Eun Jae’s shoulders gently, tried to soothe her with words.
“Tell me. Eun Jae, I can do everything that Sun Woo has done for you.”
“……”
“Let’s go out. Let’s talk outside for now.”
It was when Tae Kyu, with a soft grip on her wrist amidst Eun Jae’s deep silence, was about to turn the doorknob.
“I know why I seem that way in your eyes. So I hesitated a lot when Sun Woo proposed to me at first.”
Tae Kyu, who had turned around, furrowed his brows.
“So, this is real?”
“I know, I am being greedy beyond my means. With someone who doesn’t suit me.”
“I don’t believe it.”
As if to laugh off her words, Tae Kyu smirked, raising one corner of his mouth.
“But Tae Kyu, can’t I be like that?”
“……”
“I love him. Please, don’t ruin it.”
Tae Kyu, who had raked his hair roughly, ended up coming out to the garden, unable to go inside. He couldn’t bear to face Ji Eun Jae inside.
No, he didn’t want to face her as Sun Woo’s woman.
“I love him. Please, don’t ruin it.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
