When Do Jin heard Ji Na’s question, he looked at her with a somewhat pitiful gaze.
‘Ji Na, our company is in the fashion industry. We have to maintain dignity.’
Sure enough, it was no use. Despite applying a bandage, the searing, throbbing pain persisted. Ji Na bit her lip tightly to endure the pain.
‘Hang in there.’
Do Jin, unusually, offered her encouragement with a smile. No, back then, she thought that was enough consolation.
But now that she thought about it…
Even then, Kim Do Jin was a person for whom outward appearance was more important. In those days when she knew nothing, she thought his words were right. She thought his actions were love.
‘I was a fool.’
From then on, forget about dignity and all, it’s definitely comfortable shoes. No, what’s wrong with sneakers?
There are so many pretty sneakers these days. Let’s actively promote power items that increase work efficiency.
With a needless feeling of resentment, Ji Na clenched her empty fist tightly.
Seeing Jin Woo, who even accepted her small moans like her pain, she felt like she understood a little about what real love was.
‘Why isn’t he coming back, it’s enough time for the ice to melt?’
Ji Na’s gaze landed on the coffee left alone at Jin Woo’s seat. Jin Woo, whom she thought would be back soon, hadn’t returned yet.
Could he not find the convenience store? Or did he lose his way? Once worry started, it continued endlessly. She picked up her mobile phone with the intention of making a call,
“Sister.”
Finally, Jin Woo, who was panting as if he had run out of breath, appeared. In his hand, instead of threecolored slippers, there were pretty flat shoes.
“Huh? What’s that?”
“They say it’s as comfortable as not wearing anything.”
Jin Woo, who had knelt on one knee in front of Ji Na, put the shoes on her feet.
“Does it not touch the wound?”
The shoes fit as if they were made for her. The soft soles were indeed light as if she wasn’t wearing anything.
Jin Woo’s eyes, looking up at Ji Na, seemed unusually moist. Perhaps that’s why Jin Woo’s face looked more handsome than usual. Feeling embarrassed, Ji Na quickly turned her gaze and muttered,
“Um… It’s comfortable.”
Jin Woo, wiping the sweat off his handsome forehead with the back of his hand, finally straightened his knee and stood up.
“I’m relieved.”
“Thank you.”
Ji Na’s lips, whispering a very small word of thanks, trembled slightly.
“But how much is this? It looks expensive.”
Jin Woo, returning the card Ji Na had given him, shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
“It’s not expensive.”
“It must have been tough outside in the heat.”
“Yes.”
Jin Woo, who took a sip of iced coffee, curled the corners of his mouth. Although it must have been hard and bothersome, there was no sign of it.
“Don’t trouble yourself because of me.”
Perhaps that’s why. Unknowingly, her true feelings slipped out.
At Ji Na’s words, Jin Woo looked at Ji Na without a word.
“What I mean is, I don’t like seeing you struggle because of me.”
Just in case there would be any misunderstanding, Ji Na quickly clarified her words.
“Ah…”
Jin Woo slightly nodded his head and subtly lowered his gaze.
“Next time,”
“It’s not a burden.”
Cutting off Ji Na’s words, Jin Woo spoke softly. In a low voice that echoed in the heart.
“It’s not enough. If it were up to me, I’d like to buy a whole shoe store.”
His gaze, which had been lowered, slowly moved towards Ji Na.
His dark eyes were full of the heat of summer.
“I want to do everything for you.”
So, please don’t say things like that.
Jin Woo’s direct gaze felt intense. Just by touching, it felt like heat was rising. For some reason, she felt thirsty and kept sipping the poor coffee.
“Uh… Um…”
It was a statement without an object, but it was clear who it was about. It was certain that if things continued this way, she would be swept away by him. Deliberately showing her cell phone, Ji Na opened her mouth.
“Let’s go work now.”
More than half of the coffee was still left. Jin Woo got up from his seat without a word, even though Ji Na’s actions were blatantly obvious.
“Yes, Deputy Ji Na.”
At his professional title, Ji Na hid her trembling heart and walked ahead.
On the other hand, Do Jin was looking for something on Jin Woo’s desk. Ji Hye, who was passing by, glanced at him with a puzzled face, and sensing her gaze, Do Jin waved his hand as if to say not to worry.
“Ah, intern Jin Woo left without giving me the materials.”
Ji Hye lightly nodded and moved to her seat. However, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Ji Hye who had sat down, picked up her cell phone.
Do Jin was rummaging through Jin Woo’s computer. It was suspicious that he claimed to have solved the problem that the director had asked for help with in the morning.
He shouldn’t have been able to approach it with ordinary skills. Early in the morning, the director had called Do Jin.
The director’s personal laptop had a problem, and it contained important data. If it were to be lost, it would be a big deal. However, according to what Do Jin heard, it seemed impossible to solve.
He hung up the phone, saying that it seemed necessary to entrust it to a specialist, and afterwards, the director returned to the office late with Jin Woo.
‘No matter how much he majored in it, why did he come here as an intern with such skills?’
It was suspicious. Do Jin took another look at Jin Woo’s application documents. All they showed was that he was a competent talent who had studied abroad.
‘Is he aiming for an executive position in this company?’
It was entirely plausible. After he arrived, Ji Na, who would have pretended to die at his words, had changed. She was the one who requested the breakup and in the end, they broke up. Of course, she had thought of breaking up, but not like this.
Moreover, the director’s attitude towards Jin Woo seemed to have changed, as if he had completely fallen for him. It wasn’t the look one would give to an insignificant intern.
Surely he must have bribed the director with something significant that morning. However, Jin Woo’s computer was immaculately clean.
There was nothing besides company data. The same was true for his desk. It was an opportunity he had created by intentionally sending him on an outside job.
‘Nothing’s working.’
At that moment, Yoon Ju approached him sneakily.
“Brother.”
As she whispered softly beside Do Jin, he hastily straightened his upper body.
“Hey… I told you not to call me that at work.”
At his irritated voice, Yoon Ju’s large eyes widened.

With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
