“Next time, let’s not pretend to know each other. We weren’t that close, were we?”
With a smirk, he gave a farewell greeting to Se-yeong.
Without caring about Se-yeong leaving, Hae-jin and Tae-hong filled their glasses again, as if nothing had happened.
“There were a lot of these kinds of gatherings, huh?”
The one who broke the silence was Tae-hong, and upon thinking about his question, it seemed so.
“There were a few, not many? Just for networking? Something like that.”
Anyway, Tae-hong would probably have more. Even in his tight schedule, there were occasional private gatherings. Although the time spent at the gatherings was short, Tae-hong was never absent.
To them, holding meetings was also a skill. In those gatherings, he would always be at the top. So, Se-yeong must be trying to stick to him somehow, no?
As time passed, people began to leave one or two at a time. However, Hae-jin and Tae-hong had no intention of leaving.
“Doesn’t Team Leader like alcohol much?”
The soft lighting touched Tae-hong. Shadows were cast on distinct features in the light. So, Hae-jin couldn’t see Tae-hong’s expression well. All she could see was his profile.
“Rather than not liking alcohol, he doesn’t like making mistakes after drinking.”
“Everyone dislikes that.”
Hae-jin nodded as if understanding. Perhaps there was someone among the employees who made a mistake during a company dinner, and that’s why they didn’t have many gatherings. She continued to understand him, speculating if there was anyone who had made a mistake.
“By the way, I don’t drink injections, and I don’t make mistakes like that.”
Although it might not be curious, saying he dislikes making mistakes, he appealed that he was a person who didn’t make such mistakes. Anyway, it was just a reasonable line for a team member who wanted to look good to the boss.
“That’s fortunate.”
She didn’t know what was fortunate, but it seemed like gaining one point, so a smile formed.
Whether it was the power of alcohol or not, looking at his face properly, Hae-jin suddenly felt his handsomeness.
Starting from his loosened hair, she gradually lowered her gaze. Even though it took quite some time to scan his entire face, Tae-hong also moved along with Hae-jin’s eyes. During the slow movement from left to right and then from top to bottom, his gaze was already fixed on her.
Why were Jung Hae-jin’s pupils so black as coal?
He saw his reflection in the pitch-black pupils. Since when did she develop a habit of looking into her eyes? Hae-jin had eyes that couldn’t hide her emotions, even in her awkward acting.
The moment she stood in the dawn sunlight, her pupils, contrasting against her white face, seemed even darker. Tae-hong’s senses instantly returned to that moment.
It felt like the warmth of her lips and the texture of her heated skin were felt on his fingertips.
She probably knew. The more she avoided that answer all day, the more it annoyed her.
While thoroughly scanning her face, feeling her lips again, despite saying it in words, made her want to feel those lips once more.
“Did you enjoy it this time too?”
When Hae-jin just returned to Tae-hong’s eyes, he asked, as if waiting. And Hae-jin saw it. She had already seen the playful voice and the intense look in Tae-hong’s eyes before.
In the warm dawn sunlight, the eyes were blinded, and on the skin, there were goosebumps, while the sensation he had given on the lips was vivid.
All day long, tormenting herself, it was the gaze she had seen at that unforgettable moment.
The two looked at each other. Rapidly, in Hae-jin’s mind, the emergency siren was blaring. It was a signal detecting danger. She had to get away. If she stayed like this, the situation would surely repeat.
Hae-jin quickly got up. At the sound of the chair being pushed back, Tae-hong’s gaze turned toward the chair.
“Team leader. Shall we stop here?”
It was dangerous; the situation needed to be aired out quickly.
“Yes.”
Tae-hong simply stood up. He must have felt the danger I felt.
She sighed in relief that he didn’t hear. While Tae-hong calculated, she quickly pressed the elevator button.
It wasn’t over until they returned to the room. The danger signal was still ongoing.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived at a good time. At this late hour, there were only two people. Luckily, Tae-hong didn’t say anything.
They passed through the elevator gate. Now, all they had to do was walk down the hallway to their destination. The distance they had to walk felt unusually long.
Tae-hong stopped in front of the room. It was the last gate. Hae-jin quickly said, “Thank you for your hard work,” bowed her head, and was about to turn her body to enter the room when,
“Deputy Director Jung.”
His voice was heard from above. Where have I seen this scene before?
“I have a lot to receive from Deputy Director Jung.”
It was déjà vu with what happened earlier. It indicated that he had no intention of sending her off gracefully.
“I haven’t received the value for appreciating my face.”
Approaching her with one step, he still had the same face that signaled danger. No, from the beginning, he didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it.
“I haven’t heard the answer to the question of what was good.”
Rather, he made it even clearer. It was enough to remind her of the act they did in the dawn.
“I want to answer the question of what was good more than anything else.”
The room key card in her hand was passed to him.
With a decisive move, he opened the door to her room.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
