Jungkook: Think what you want.
Yeoju: Of course… he hasn't denied it even once.

I work at the same company as Jungkook.
And yet, we arrive and leave separately.
I want to go to work together, but apparently, Jungkook doesn't.
Furthermore, we decided to keep our marriage a secret at work.
Seriously? It's not just a relationship, it's a marriage.
Keeping it a secret... it must be for her.
So once again, I headed to work.
Just as I sat down at my desk—
Someone was coming towards me… huh? Isn't that Tae-hyung?
Tae-hyung: Oh? Yeoju, you work here too? Wow, what a coincidence.
Yeoju: Yes… what a surprise. And thanks again for yesterday.
Tae-hyung: Oh, it's nothing. How are you feeling now?
Yeoju: I feel much better, thanks to you, Tae-hyung.
Tae-hyung: If you're so grateful,
How about we have lunch together today, Yeoju?
Yeoju (thinking): (Uh… what should I do?
I can't say that I have someone…
But only once should be okay, right?
He comforted me yesterday…
And furthermore, Jungkook is openly flirting with another girl.
Why couldn't I?
Ugh… now I feel bad again.)
Seeing my expression darken with the memory of what I saw yesterday,
Tae-hyung seemed puzzled.
Tae-hyung: Oh… Yeoju, if you don't want to, that's okay!
Yeoju: Oh no, it's okay! Sorry, I was just thinking.
See you on the first floor at lunchtime!
Tae-hyung: Great. See you then. Good luck with work~!
She smiled and ruffled her hair before leaving.
Why does everything have to be so complicated…?
No, let's keep it simple.
I was hitting my head to clear my thoughts.
When my co-worker, Seorin, tried to stop me and asked me:
Seorin: Oh my god, what's wrong with you?! Yeoju, but seriously—
What's going on between you and Tae-hyung? The vibe between you two...
Yeoju: What do you mean by "what's wrong"? Nothing's wrong!
Seorin: Tae-hyung is handsome, tall, intelligent, kind…
Why not take advantage of it? You two look good together.
Yeoju: Shut up! It's nothing! And I don't think he cares in the slightest.
Trying to ignore Seorin's jokes, I went back to my work.
And then I saw Jungkook.
Looking at me as if she had heard everything.
Did he hear everything? It doesn't matter.
He was the one who said we shouldn't be obvious.
You'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 a bit and put my bag away.
going down to the first floor to meet Tae-hyung.
But as I walked toward the meeting place—
Someone stopped me dead in my tracks.
Enjoy the next part!
