Jungkook: Think whatever you want.
Yeoju: Of course… he still won’t deny it even once.

I work at the same company as Jungkook.
And yet, we come to work and leave separately.
I want to commute together, but apparently Jungkook doesn’t.
On top of that, we decided to keep our marriage a secret at work.
I mean, seriously? It’s not just dating—it’s marriage.
Keeping that a secret… it might be because of her.
So once again, I headed into work.
Just as I sat down at my desk—
Someone was walking toward me… huh? Isn’t that Taehyung?
Taehyung: Oh? Yeoju, you work here too? Wow, what a coincidence.
Yeoju: Yeah… that’s a surprise. And thanks again for yesterday.
Taehyung: Oh, it’s nothing. How are you feeling now?
Yeoju: I feel much better, thanks to you, Taehyung.
Taehyung: If you’re that grateful,
how about joining me for lunch today, Yeoju?
Yeoju (thinking): (Uh… what should I do?
I can’t say I have someone…
But just once should be fine, right?
He did comfort me yesterday…
And besides, Jungkook flirts openly with another girl.
Why shouldn’t I be allowed to?
Ugh… now I’m feeling down again.)
Seeing my expression darken at the memory of what I saw yesterday,
Taehyung looked flustered.
Taehyung: Oh… Yeoju, if you don’t want to, it’s totally fine!
Yeoju: Oh no, it’s okay! Sorry, I was just lost in thought.
Let’s meet on the first floor at lunchtime!
Taehyung: Great. I’ll see you then. Good luck with work~
He smiled at me and ruffled his hair before walking off.
Why is everything so complicated…?
No, let’s keep it simple.
I was smacking my head to clear my thoughts
when my coworker next to me tried to stop me and asked:
Seorin: Oh my gosh, what’s with you?! Yeoju, but seriously—
what’s going on between you and Taehyung? The vibe between you two…
Yeoju: What do you mean, “what’s going on”? There’s nothing!
Seorin: Taehyung’s handsome, tall, smart, nice…
Why not go for it? You two look good together.
Yeoju: Shut up! It’s nothing! And I don’t think he’s even interested in me.
Trying to brush off Seorin’s teasing, I turned back to my work.
And then I saw Jungkook.
Staring at me like he had heard everything.
Did he hear it all? Whatever.
He’s the one who said we shouldn’t be obvious.
He’ll understand at least this much, right?
Anyway, I need to finish my work before lunch.
Yeoju: Ugh, my body aches. Finally, lunchtime.
Why do I already feel like going home when I’ve barely done anything?
I touched up my lips just a bit and packed my bag,
heading down to the first floor to meet Taehyung.
But as I was walking to the meeting spot—
Someone stopped me in my tracks.
Please enjoy the next part!
