She couldn’t move an inch, wrapped in his thick arm around her waist and his large hand cupping her cheek.
“Seo Yoon.”
Kang Hyun, who seemed about to kiss her at any moment, called her name in a soft voice.
“Is it not allowed?”
When Seo Yoon remained frozen, saying nothing, Kang Hyun released his arm from around her waist.
“I won’t do it if you don’t want me to.”
“You don’t like me.”
Seo Yoon turned her head. She couldn’t understand why he was behaving this way when she was the illegitimate child he despised.
The thought that he might have assumed he could treat her however he wanted made Seo Yoon angry, and yet, her heart ached.
“Hate you? Why would I do this if I hated you? Look at me, Seo Yoon.”
Kang Hyun cupped her face, meeting her gaze. But Seo Yoon still avoided his eyes.
‘I haven’t been nice to her so far, it’s natural for her to be surprised by this sudden change.’
He had just approached her to tidy her hair, but before he knew it, her flushed face, her downy cheeks, her moist, red lips, and her nape, which he had always wanted to bite, had caught his eye.
He unknowingly approached her, but the moment he saw her frozen expression, he managed to squeeze out the last drop of rationality and stop himself.
Kang Hyun took her wrist and went to the sofa.
“Were you scared?”
After seating her on the sofa, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and stroked her arm.
“Do I seem easy to you?”
The fact that it was none other than Kang Hyun treating her this way made Seo Yoon’s heart ache even more.
“What? Absolutely not.”
Kang Hyun’s heart leaped at Seo Yoon’s misunderstanding. Seo Yoon couldn’t understand herself why his reaction somehow brought her relief.
“…You hate illegitimate children, don’t you?”
“Who said that?”
His heart pricked at Seo Yoon’s words.
“I heard it from my sister.”
It was something Hyun Jin had said to her during the engagement ceremony.
“Um… well, that’s not wrong. But there’s something I haven’t told you… I have a halfsibling. And it’s true that I hate illegitimate children because of that child.”
Kang Hyun spoke honestly, causing Seo Yoon, who had been avoiding his gaze, to look at him.
Seo Yoon remembered the conversation between Chairman Cha and Kang Hyun the day she went to Hannamdong to pay her respects.
That day, she found out that he had a halfsibling he didn’t like.
“And… there was a misunderstanding because of a false rumor.”
Kang Hyun hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“A false rumor?”
“There was a rumor about an illegitimate child demanding a building from Congressman Seo.”
“What? What does that mean?”
Seo Yoon was baffled by the talk of demanding a building.
“I initially misunderstood you, but now I know. I know you didn’t do that. That’s why I said it was a false rumor. Anyway, I’m sorry for being rude to you without properly investigating.”
Part of it was because she was an illegitimate child, and he didn’t feel the need to check properly. But even from the first time he saw her, he felt it was strange because she was different from what he had heard.
“So, that’s why you were like that on the first day we met?”
Seo Yoon frowned, remembering how Kang Hyun had been cranky all the time.
“I’m sorry.”
Kang Hyun had no words, even if he had ten mouths to speak with.
“So, what I’m saying is… we’re married, but we still don’t know each other very well. So, let’s do this. Let’s get to know each other little by little.”
Looking at Seo Yoon’s clear and pure face, Kang Hyun remembered how rudely he had treated her on the day they first met, and guilt washed over him like a tide.
“Why all of a sudden?”
Seo Yoon couldn’t understand him. He had told her not to like him, and now he was suggesting they get to know each other.
“It’s not sudden. Haven’t you noticed that I’m interested in you? What kind of man would want to kiss a woman he doesn’t even like?”
“Men can… even if they don’t like…”
“What? Absolutely not. If I don’t like someone, I don’t even hold their hand.”
Kang Hyun reached out his hand to her. However, Seo Yoon didn’t move at all.
“But we are supposed to part ways after three years.”
At Seo Yoon’s words, Kang Hyun’s expression twisted instantly. After a moment, he collected himself and spoke.
“As I said earlier, it was because I misunderstood you. Let’s tear up the contract. Or better yet, burn it to ashes?”
Cold sweat trickled down Kang Hyun’s forehead. When was the last time he was this desperate in front of someone?
Kang Hyun cursed at himself. If he could, he wanted to go back in time and punch his past self.
‘How dirty must Seo Yoon have felt? You bastard, Kang Hyun!’
The thought of presenting such a contract to such a tender and innocent girl filled him with the most regret he had ever felt in his life. That day had become the day he wanted to erase the most.
On the other hand, as she watched Kang Hyun’s face filled with regret, Seo Yoon’s heart also softened a little.
‘So he thought I was the illegitimate child demanding the building…’
