Last night, when Si Hyun had fallen asleep drunk in my arms, I didn’t think of anything until I laid her down on the hotel bed. I was just happy to have a chance to watch her sleep all night long.
It was when Si Hyun woke up abruptly in the wee hours, and flung off her clothes with my hands, that I had a strange thought. It seemed she couldn’t bear the stuffiness in her sleep.
Surprised, I quickly covered her naked body with a blanket, and Tae Ha thought.
Maybe……
So I purposely acted like a lover in the morning, but she pushed me away with disgust.
“Even if we’re the only two left on a deserted island, or, even if you’re the last man left after the end of the world, I won’t be with you!”
So that’s how it is, me. I have no chance at all.
Tae Ha clutched his head in pain.
After sitting with various thoughts for a while, he got up. It was time to go to work.
He took a shower and put on his clothes. Looking in the mirror, he erased the emotions from his eyes, and hid his burning heart deep within his suit.
Looking at himself in the mirror, the face of the branch manager Yoon Tae Ha, Tae Ha made a resolution.
‘If I was going to give up like this, I shouldn’t have started.’
((()))
On the taxi ride home to change her clothes, Si Hyun tried to piece together the events of last night. She faintly remembered Tae Ha coming to her as she sat at the bus stop.
Though her memories after that were completely black, Si Hyun didn’t think anything had happened. Whether she remembered or not, nothing had happened last night. She was sure of that.
When Tae Ha was scared of thunder and lightning as a child, she had lied on such days, calling home to say she was staying at a friend’s house, and slept at Tae Ha’s house a few times. At those times, Tae Ha would fall asleep snuggled up in Si Hyun’s arms.
Regardless of whether he was the branch manager or whatever, no matter how old or big he got, to her, Tae Ha was just her little brother Yoon Tae Ha.
So, last night was no different from those times when she had held him and fallen asleep. So she didn’t feel sorry for Woo Jin. Well, she won’t tell him since it won’t make him feel better.
“Or, one more time?”
Recalling the absurd line, Si Hyun shivered. If Tae Ha later remembered and knew he said that to me, he would want to die.
Regardless, since Tae Ha was not recognizing her, Si Hyun decided to keep her distance for a while. Though she saw Tae Ha as a child she had raised, he probably saw her as no different from other women.
So, he must have thought that they naturally slept together because she was there when he woke up.
“Does he speak like that to a woman he has only slept with for one night?”
Si Hyun suddenly thought.
“Weren’t you going to wake me up when you woke up?”
Remembering his voice sweetly whispering into her ear like a lover, Si Hyun’s face suddenly grew hot. In the heat of the moment, she shouted at the taxi driver.
“Sir, let me off here!”
Her mind was in a mess and she hadn’t realized it until she got here, but as she was changing clothes at home, she started to feel more and more nauseous. It was the aftermath of drinking too much the night before.
‘If only I had a wife to cook me porridge.’
With such thoughts, Si Hyun left her home with an upset stomach. She would have loved to sip on some nurungji tea, but there was no time for that as she might be late.
The studio apartment where Si Hyun lived alone was three bus stops away from her company. She had moved near the company about three years ago because she couldn’t handle her mother’s constant nagging about marriage since her thirties.
Just as she arrived at the company lobby by taxi, the elevator door was about to close.
“Wait a moment!”
Luckily, the person inside was Manager Jung from the development team, whom she was close with. As she ran towards him, Manager Jung sighed and opened the door again.
“You should start early. A single woman like you is always running around.”
“Good morning…Ugh.”
She choked on her greeting due to the strong alcohol scent of men’s skin products.
“Hey, Assistant Manager Kang, did you just gag looking at my face?”
Manager Jung squinted at her.
“I’m sorry, Manager. I drank too much last night and the scent of skin care products makes my head spin.”
The elevator stopped but Si Hyun didn’t get off. She thought she needed to go to the pharmacy and buy some hangover remedies. The scent of the skin products she had just smelled had turned her stomach.
As she pressed the button for the first floor again and leaned against the wall closing her eyes, the closed elevator doors opened again. As someone boarded, a refreshing scent filled the space.
Suddenly, the queasiness in her stomach seemed to subside.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Si Hyun impulsively grabbed the other person’s arm and buried her face in his sleeve.
She wasn’t sure if it was perfume or fabric softener, but it made her feel relieved. It was a slightly bitter yet refreshing scent, like a mix of pine tree and lime.
“……!”
The other person seemed surprised and tried to pull his arm away, but Si Hyun clung to it desperately. She didn’t know who he was, but if they were on the same floor, they probably knew each other, so she could be a bit shameless.
“I’m sorry. I need to live.”
Si Hyun mumbled, with her face still buried in his sleeve.
“I overdid it yesterday and now my stomach’s upset… Ah, the smell is really good.”
However, the other person was relentless. He harshly shook off his arm, and Si Hyun thought, ‘that’s too much’, when suddenly,
The scent became more intense.
The person had pulled Si Hyun tightly into his arms.
“It will be better here.”
Tae Ha whispered, making Si Hyun bury her face in his chest.
“Because I sprayed perfume here.”
Si Hyun was surprised and pushed him away, stepping back.
“I’m, I’m okay!”
Fortunately, the elevator stopped at the first floor. She was about to hurriedly get off when her wrist was grabbed.
“What to do now?”
A low, tempting whisper flowed into Si Hyun’s ear.
“…I have become interested now.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
