Su Ah, who was seated in the innermost part of the cafeteria due to lack of space, craned her neck to look around.

‘Huh? It’s Ha Joon.’
Su Ah’s gaze stopped at Ha Joon, who was entering the cafeteria.

“Oh my, it’s the Vice President.”
Starting with the words of Hee Su, who was sitting next to her from the same team, the conversation of the female employees at the same table continued.

“What brings the Vice President to the cafeteria?”
“Exactly, it’s the first time I’ve seen this since I joined the company.”
“I can’t believe I’m seeing him so close. I should buy a lottery ticket today.”
The sudden appearance of the Vice President was just as startling to the other employees.

Despite the chaotic atmosphere, Ha Joon’s face was brightly shining, as if holding sunlight.

Ha Joon continued to narrow the distance without his gaze being drawn anywhere, and his steps were unhesitating, as if he had a destination in mind.

‘He couldn’t have come to have lunch with me. I made it clear earlier, he couldn’t possibly do it again.’
She tried to deny it, but it was insufficient to quell the anxiety that was poking its head out.

It couldn’t be. It couldn’t be. It shouldn’t be. It shouldn’t be.

Between Su Ah’s muttered words, which could be either an order or a prayer, Ha Joon had already arrived in front of her table.

Oh no. He really came.

Unlike Su Ah, who was looking at him with eyes that seemed about to pop out of surprise, Ha Joon’s expression was irritatingly calm.

“Su Ah……”
“Mr. Vice President. Hello.”
As Ha Joon’s lips parted, Ji Hoon suddenly rose from his seat, cutting him off.

“……?”
Swallowing the words that could not leave his mouth, Ha Joon looked at Ji Hoon.

“What brings the Vice President to the company cafeteria?”
Why on earth are you here, you insensitive kid?

“Ah, I was visiting to check on the cafeteria as part of welfare management for the employees.”
Of course, I came to see Su Ah.

“Our Hyun Sung Group’s cafeteria is very wellmanaged, to the extent that it’s rumored to be the best among the nearby companies, so I don’t think you need to worry.”
Upon finishing his words, Ji Hoon tensed his eyebrows and slightly tilted his chin to the right.

It was a signal for him to leave quickly.

“I see. That’s good to hear. Then, everyone, enjoy your meal.”
Even though he said ‘everyone,’ Ha Joon’s gaze was fixed on one place alone.

“Mr. Vice President, you should also go and have your meal.”
“Yes, then I’ll be on my way.”
Satisfied that he had seen Su Ah, Ha Joon turned around without hesitation and left the cafeteria.

[Hey! Min Ha Joon. Are you going to keep making it obvious?] Ji Hoon quickly sent a text message as soon as Ha Joon left the cafeteria.

It was clearly a text message, but it felt as if Ji Hoon’s sharp voice was audible in his ear.

[What am I doing? As I said earlier, I’m just working to improve employee welfare.] [Improve welfare? Don’t you realize this makes Su Ah uncomfortable?] [Why? Why is she uncomfortable?] [Hey, you naive Vice President! Let’s try not to show it, okay? We agreed to keep it a secret at work.] [I didn’t show it.] He didn’t show it.

The guy who never even came down here before not only came to the cafeteria, but out of all the tables, he came to our table! If that’s not making it obvious, then what is!

It’s true what they say about a latelearned thief not knowing daylight.

There was no other car with a broken brake.

[Just think of Su Ah as not being in the office!]

After checking Ji Hoon’s last message, Ha Joon shoved his phone into his pocket.

“How can I think of her as not being there when she is?”
Ha Joon muttered, furrowing his eyebrows as he moved.

During lunch, Ha Joon, who was halfheartedly eating, looked serious as he sat at his desk.

“Vice President, is there any problem?”
Secretary Park, who had come in to deliver approval documents, studied Ha Joon’s expression.

“No, it’s a personal matter, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
Secretary Park’s eyes widened in surprise.

He had never seen him doing anything other than work before, so it was certainly surprising for him to suddenly have a personal matter.

“You can go now.”
“Yes.”
At Ha Joon’s words, Secretary Park turned on his heels with still surprised eyes and headed towards the door.

Ha Joon, who had been waiting for the door to close, turned his gaze back to the computer monitor.

[Date Course]

Remembering how Su Ah had enjoyed herself at the restaurant last time, he planned to seek the help of knowledgeable people this time too.

Could having too much information also be a problem?

Even though he had been searching for quite a while, it was not easy to find a place he liked.

“Ah….”
Suddenly a headache came on and he closed his eyes, massaging his temples, when the door to his office opened.

“This is the morning meeting material from our marketing team.”
It was Ji Hoon.

“Ah, leave it. I’ll check it out in a bit.”
“What’s up with you? Why do you look like that?”
“What do you mean? Nothing like that.”
Even as he said there was nothing, his brows were still furrowed, and his gaze was still stuck on the monitor.

“What’s going on?”
Ji Hoon quickly scanned the monitor screen, and though Ha Joon tried to hide it, it was already too late.

“Is this it?”
“Hmm. Hmm.”

Ha Joon turned his head with an awkward cough due to his embarrassment, but his cheeks were already flushed red.

“You should have come to me earlier if you had this kind of problem. Let’s start with a movie at the theater today.”
“Theater?”
Ha Joon, who had never been to a theater before, found the word itself unfamiliar.

“Do women like watching movies in theaters?”
Although Ha Joon disliked crowded places, there was no reason not to go if Su Ah wanted to.

“Of course. They love it. Don’t you know the romance of the theater?”
“The romance of the theater?”
Ha Joon widened his eyes as if it was the first time he had heard such a thing.

Ah….

Ji Hoon swallowed a deep sigh inwardly at the sight of Ha Joon, who truly knew nothing, even though he had expected it.

“Yes, that’s exactly why couples go to the theater.”
Wasn’t the theater a place to watch movies?

“How can this romance be realized?”
Ha Joon’s expression was serious, as if expecting something significant.

“Just do as I say from now on in the theater. So this romance thing is…”
Ji Hoon started to talk about what Ha Joon should do in the theater, even attaching numbers,

And Ha Joon wrote down what he said on paper with the most serious expression in the world.

The romance of the theater was not easy.

As soon as Ji Hoon finished speaking, Ha Joon checked over the written contents again, in case he had missed anything.

“Memorize it well by the time you leave work. Got it?”
“Yes, I got it.”
Considering Ji Hoon’s past dating experiences, he was clearly a reliable ally.

Ha Joon pocketed the paper and quickly sent a message to Su Ah.

[Su Ah, let’s enjoy ourselves after work today.]
