Regrettably, there wasn’t even a chance to get stuck in the past as Su Hee’s hand slipped out.
“Thank you for your help.”
Leaving the warmth in his hand behind, Seung Jo dropped his hand into the void.
“You shouldn’t follow someone you don’t know blindly.”
“If I had thought you were in cahoots with the pickpocket, I wouldn’t have followed.”
Who would have wanted to follow a stranger?
The ones in the wrong were them, but it felt unduly cruel to chastise herself.
“Where did your manager go? Didn’t you know that the security isn’t good unless you’re around the tourist area?”
“I don’t always go around with manager oppa.”
Su Hee, who had been responding faithfully, asked with a face full of questions.
“But, are you mad at me, CEO?”
“Mad?”
“Your tone of speech is like that. Just like scolding a child.”
Only later did Seung Jo realize that his emotions had unexpectedly taken the lead.
It couldn’t be helped. If he had been just a little late, who knows what could have happened.
His original intent was not that, so Seung Jo hesitated before opening his lips.
“I wasn’t trying to get angry. It was just a word of caution.”
Having witnessed the dangerous situation and rescued her, he understood that a word of caution was needed.
However, his rebuking tone as if angry seemed a bit excessive.
How much does this person know about me to be scolding me like this.
“Do you know how I appear in your eyes, CEO? I am not a grown adult who was dragged along by an unknown man, I followed him on my own.”
It felt pathetic even to herself that she fell for the tricks of the pickpockets.
And, on top of that, feeling like she had made a big mistake being rebuked by Seung Jo, with whom she had no significant friendship.
“Did I make such a big mistake to be treated so emotionally by you?”
Her hurt feelings were melted into the words she was mumbling softly.
That’s why it took time for Seung Jo to open his mouth.
“I did it because I was worried.”
“……”
“It’s because it’s Oh Su Hee, not some stranger.”
He, who seemed unbendingly cold, spoke tenderly enough to warm her heart.
She couldn’t define a man named Han Seung Jo.
He must have said it without any particular meaning, but that single phrase made her think a lot.
Because it made our relationship, which was nothing, seem quite special.
“Thank you for caring. I’ve taken your advice to heart.”
To Seung Jo, it was more concern than advice.
But, since there was no Seung Jo left in Su Hee’s memories, she could not possibly realize that.
“I still want to end it with the help I received earlier.”
It seemed that the more she tried to cut the entanglement, the more tightly she was bound.
She cut it off here today, but who knows how it will be entangled next time.
“Then.”
Turning her steps back towards the hotel, Su Hee lightly nodded her head.
Having nothing on hand, she couldn’t even afford a simple meal, let alone dinner.
It had been less than 10 minutes since she parted ways with Seung Jo.
As the weather turned chilly, she wrapped her arms around herself, and something gently landed on her nose.
Upon touching it with her fingertips, she felt the dampness of a transparent water droplet.
“Could it be raining right now?”
Upon saying that, more raindrops started falling on her shoulders.
“Did it really have to be like this today?”
As if to make her day worse, the dark sky scattered round droplets of water.
She quickly sought shelter under the roof of a store.
People started opening their umbrellas over their heads. She wondered whether the weather forecast had mentioned rain.
‘I would have taken a taxi if I hadn’t been pickpocketed. No, I would have at least bought an umbrella from the mart.’
She should have borrowed some money from Mr. Han Seung Jo earlier.
Should she go back and ask for a loan of 10 euros?
“Still, I would like to end with the help I received earlier.”
She felt she couldn’t ask for a loan not even 10 minutes after her last conversation with him.
“Oh, all because of my needless pride.”
Running around made her heels hurt, but she couldn’t keep sheltering from the rain under the roof forever.
In the end, before the sky poured down a lot more rain, Su Hee picked up speed and ran towards the hotel.
((()))((()))((()))
The drizzle that had been falling became a downpour just as Su Hee arrived at the hotel.
As she swept the rain off her hair with her palms, she heard a calm voice from behind.
“It seems you like walking in the rain.”
“…….”
“You were walking in the rain last time as well.”
Turning her head, she saw Seung Jo, who was leisurely folding his black umbrella.
In contrast to the soaked Su Hee, Seung Jo looked all cozy and dry.
If he was going to appear, he should have done so a little earlier. Would it have been a bit better then?
At this point, she wondered if he had been waiting for her to get completely soaked in the rain.
“I just didn’t have an umbrella then, or now.”
Shaking off the moisture on her white blouse, Su Hee stepped inside the hotel.
