But the man simply looked at her, letting out a laugh that didn’t suit the situation.
As soon as they entered the dimly lit studio apartment, the sensor light in the entrance turned on. The man who was leading the way, his index finger tucked into his tightening tie, turned around and smiled.
Why have you been laughing since a while ago? When did you ever put on such a front?
Or were you mocking me for doing something well?
“Rest, Ms. Ji Eun Jae.”
His lips, which were slowly loosening his tie, were melted in a bright smile that could relax a tense body.
I was turning my body towards the room, thinking it was really unfair.
“You’ve worked hard.”
I was annoyed.
My heart that was so upset,
Melted away with that one sentence.
Sun Woo, who was under the stream of falling water, chuckled.
“I know what you’re worried about.”
Sun Woo, who smiled with a slight lift at the corner of his mouth, turned off the shower.
“What do you know.”
You know nothing.
“But didn’t I do quite well today?”
Looking at the woman’s expression that sparkled her eyes as if craving for praise, he didn’t know where it was triggered, but he found himself boiling with heat.
He wanted to hold her. He wanted to pat her head and say she did well, he wanted to comfort her and say she had worked hard.
He laughed absurdly. It was strange.
“I’ll be more careful, I’ll try to keep my words to a minimum and be careful.”
She said she was going crazy with her heart pounding just two hours ago.
That was not what he was worried about. He would just go to work, but she would spend a lot of time at home.
That’s how places like the city are, isn’t it? It would be uncomfortable even just breathing, let alone having to act happy. So, I was worried that you might be stressed out.
“No, I was afraid you might run away saying you can’t do it.”
His mind was in chaos due to his ever fluctuating feelings throughout the day.
“Yes, this is right.”
He lay on his bed last night, but sleep wouldn’t come easily. The image of Eun Jae, who was stumbling in front of the elevator, kept being painted on the ceiling.
Whether it was the shoes or the heel of her foot that had turned red, it bothered her even after she returned home, and I couldn’t even ask if she was okay.
Eventually, the next day. I called the chauffeur early in the morning.
I remember feeling ironic throughout the call. I don’t think I’ve ever observed someone so meticulously.
In front of her, strangely, a lot of unfamiliar aspects appeared. How should I put it? It felt like bringing out a side of me that even I didn’t know.
When was that, was it the day after this nurse had been on a blind date?
I remembered the words that Hee Won, a colleague doctor, had said to this nurse. At that time, they weren’t words I had paid much attention to.
“It’s natural to show as much interest as you have. Men don’t make such unnecessary actions towards women they’re not interested in. It’s just instinct.”
Normally, I would let go of anything that didn’t have a scientific basis.
However, since it fit perfectly into this situation, those words strangely lingered in my mind.
“It shows as much as you’re interested…”
Had a single thought ever stayed this long before? His answers had always been clear and unhindered.
Sun Woo, pushing his wet hair back, exhaled deeply at the answer that still wasn’t becoming clear.
Even at that moment, what came to mind was the image of the woman, anxiously blushing.
Her voice, whispering so low as if it might be heard by someone else, tickling his ear, and the fragrance of flowers that she gave off when she came close.
Eun Jae of today was clear to Sun Woo in every aspect.
Was it the thirst for something he hadn’t felt for a long time? Or perhaps, it was a longing of a different kind.
The emotions he had felt in the courtyard were still not completely sorted out. The woman’s voice, tinged with confusion, brushed by him again. It was something she had added just before getting out of the car.
“I take after my father.”
He wondered why she had brought up that topic out of nowhere.
“I’m a lot stronger than you think.”
“They say if a daughter takes after her father, she’ll do well in life. So, I’ll be fine. Trust me, I’m confident.”
One minute she called him teacher, now she was calling him sir.
“Well, sir is better than teacher.”
Grumbling to himself, Sun Woo slipped into a wellfitted white gown. As he was about to tie the robe, his hand paused.
When the gown touched his bare skin, he could feel exactly the same sensation of the woman coming into his arms, and it gave him goosebumps.
An absurd laughter burst from Sun Woo’s mouth. Perhaps, even if he entered his family home, he wouldn’t have to worry about being discovered, such a foolish thought.
“Crazy.”
Somehow,
It seemed better than dealing with an actress.
Early in the morning, Sun Woo steered towards his family home.
