A special version, huh? It’s making me expect something. I wonder if he’s telling me to work or not to.

Ha Joon, who had been watching Su Ah getting heated up in her intense search, chuckled and shifted his gaze to the approval screen.

In the cafe located on the first floor of Hyun Sung Group.

Yuna had just finished a series of meetings about a new product design and visited the cafe to clear her head for a moment.

She narrowed her brows over unresolved issues from the meeting while bringing the coffee to her lips when some female employees who had just ordered stood behind her.

“Did you hear? The marketing team left early today.”
“Oh my, why?”
“They started construction because the project team’s office is moving to that floor. It seems the noise was quite loud. They say the Vice Chairman gave the order himself.”
“I wouldn’t envy sharing an office with the TF team, but I do envy leaving early.”
“Right. I’m really envious of that.”
Because of the close distance, Yuna unintentionally overheard the employees’ conversation, causing her eyebrows to twitch.

‘If it’s the marketing team, that means Ji Hoon also left, right?’
Yuna put down the coffee she was holding and hurriedly took out her mobile phone.

“Where are you now?”
[Outside.] The voice of Ji Hoon, who confirmed Yuna’s name, was gruff.

“I know you’re outside, but where outside?”
[What are you going to do knowing that?] At Ji Hoon’s question, Yuna bit her lower lip.

“Are you going to keep this up?”
[What are you going to do about it?] “I’m going to barge into your house tonight.”
[What? What are you going to do?] Ji Hoon stuttered, seemingly taken aback.

“I’ll barge in and tell you that I like you, that I want to marry you. Why should I wait till the evening? I should go now. Hang up!”
[Hey! Hey! Kim Yuna!] Ji Hoon’s desperate voice was heard, but Yuna pretended not to hear and pressed the end button.

As soon as the call ended, the phone screen lit up again.

[Ji Hoon Oppa♡]

Hmm, let’s see how he feels.

Yuna just stared at the screen and didn’t pick up the call.

She could almost picture Ji Hoon pacing anxiously beyond the ringing phone.

Only after three missed calls appeared, Yuna pressed the call button with a leisurely smile.

“Hello…….”
[Hey! Kim Yuna!] Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Hoon raised his voice.

“What? I’m very busy now since I’m about to leave.”
[You’re not really going to go, are you?] “Do I look like I’m joking? It seems I have to show you to make you believe.”
[No! Absolutely not! What do you want?] If only he had asked properly earlier.

Yuna lifted the corners of her mouth as if she had been waiting and spoke.

“What do I want? Your current location.”
There was a moment of silence, and then a faint sigh from Ji Hoon came through the phone.

[…Convenience store.] “Convenience store? Okay. Wait right there. You know what happens if you run, right? I’ll just turn the wheel and head straight to your house.”
Yuna hurried back to her office, made an excuse for her absence, and got into her car.

Su Ah, who had been staring at her mobile phone for a while, turned her gaze to Ha Joon.

His claim that he looked better than the team leader or Deputy Kim wasn’t a lie.

His neat hair and thick eyebrows, the full lashes casting shadows around his eyes, the straight nose, and even the red lips.

Su Ah’s gaze followed the lines of Ha Joon’s face.

“How am I supposed to work if you’re staring at me like that?”
Ha Joon opened his mouth, feeling Su Ah’s gaze.

Huh? How did he know? Did I stare too blatantly?

She was caught off guard, her heart fluttered, but she couldn’t admit it right away.

“I’m not looking at you, Ha Joon. I’m looking at the window. The window. The view is so nice.”
“Oh. The window? I thought you were captivated because I looked so cool while working.”
Tch. Even though he clearly knew she was looking at him, he still played coy.

“Yes. I was captivated. By the window.”
Alright. If you say so, then so be it. Ha Joon burst into a small laugh at Su Ah’s emphasis on the window.

“By the way, have you finished planning the special date course?”
“Of course. I have a perfect date course ready.”
Ha Joon closed the final approval panel and stood up from his seat.

“I’m really looking forward to it. Shall we go now?”
“No. Wait. Just wait a moment.”
Su Ah spread her palms towards Ha Joon, who was approaching with his coat in hand.

“If we go out together, Secretary Park will suspect.”
“Hmm. I don’t think so.”
“I’ll go out first and wait in the underground parking lot, so you come out 10 minutes later. 10 minutes later! Got it?”
“We really don’t have to do that.”
“Then I’ll go out first. How many minutes later?”
He really doesn’t listen to what people say.

Ha Joon let out a short sigh as if giving up.

“10 minutes later.”
With a satisfied expression, Su Ah carefully opened the door and slipped out.

“It doesn’t seem like it would make much difference whether I leave now or 10 minutes later.”

Even while mumbling, Ha Joon sat on the sofa, seemingly without any intention to disobey Su Ah’s words, fixing his gaze on the minute hand of the clock.

Exactly 10 minutes later.

“10 minutes!”
Ha Joon, who had excitedly grabbed his jacket, left the Vice President’s office.

“I’ll prepare the car.”
Secretary Park, seeing Ha Joon’s jacket, reached for the phone.

“No. As far as I know, there are no appointments this afternoon, right?”
“Yes. All of today’s appointments have been concluded.”
“In that case, Secretary Park, you should leave for the day.”
“What? Leave for the day?”
Secretary Park widened his eyes as if questioning his words.

“I’m saying this because I think I have to leave early due to personal reasons.”
“Ah. Then I will finish up the work I was doing and leave. Please go ahead.”
The perceptive Secretary Park quickly wrapped up the situation.

“Yes. Then, see you tomorrow.”
After a brief greeting, Ha Joon turned around and immediately started walking.

A moment later. Ha Joon, who had entered the underground parking lot, moved his eyes busily, looking for Su Ah.

When he was about to reach his parked car, Su Ah’s voice could be faintly heard whispering from somewhere.

“Ha Joon.”
“Su Ah? Where are you?”
“Here. Here. I’m here.”
The voice was coming from behind the car.

“What are you doing there?”
“We can’t be seen by other people.”
Ha Joon burst into laughter at the sight of Su Ah hiding her body more passionately than necessary.

“Pfft. So you’re hiding there?”
“Shh! What will we do if you talk so loudly?”
“Don’t worry. It’s just the two of us here now.”
“That’s not certain. The moment you’re relieved, you’re bound to be discovered.”

Can’t he think that such actions would look more suspicious on CCTV?

Ha Joon, who had once again chuckled softly, opened the car door, and simultaneously, Su Ah quickly climbed onto the passenger seat.

Anyone looking would think they were filming a spy movie.

With fascination, Ha Joon, who had been watching Su Ah, also got into the driver’s seat.

“Where should we go for our special date?”
“I’ll put in the address.”
After confirming the address she had prepared in advance, Su Ah entered it into the navigation system.

“Now, let’s go. For our special date!”
With Su Ah’s powerful voice, Ha Joon’s car exited the underground parking lot.
