- Ah… I’m going crazy… How can I look at Yoongi’s face..
Seung-ah, using her survival-oriented sociability, barely managed to greet him with a social smile before settling down in her seat, clutching her head in agony. It was understandable, considering it was their first time meeting in person since Yoon-ki confessed to her and asked her out via text message. Yoon-ki certainly had many unexpected sides to Seung-ah. Despite his low voice and blunt tone, he would not hesitate to spout sweet words to Seung-ah, always putting her in a difficult position. For example, the words he had said through the glass window of a cafe just before entering the company building. Yoon-ki, who was not born like that, was more sly toward Seung-ah than expected.Kiss or somethingHe kept saying things that would obviously embarrass Seung-ah. Judging by his momentum, it seemed like he was going to kiss that bastard today, their first date, just like the saying, "Snap a bull's horn in one fell swoop." Seung-ah thought.Ah, I guess I'll be out of my mind all day today...And that's what I'm saying.
- hello.
- Ah, Yoongi~ Good morning!
They say even a tiger will come if you call it… Seung-ah suddenly lowered her head and lightly slapped my cheeks. Then, with a look of determination on her face, she smiled and greeted me with a relaxed expression.
- hello.
- Hello, Manager Nam.
Could you please not laugh like that…?Seung-ah avoided Yoon-ki's gaze, thinking. Yoon-ki followed her, a subtle smile on his lips, his eyes somehow playfully tinged with mischief. She resented being the youngest and the team leader, having to teach Yoon-ki the ropes, and yet, like a fool, she couldn't help but laugh.
- Seung-ah.
Seung-ah came to her senses at Yoon-ki's whisper and looked at him. Yoon-ki looked around, wrote something on a yellow post-it note, and handed it under the desk. Seung-ah swallowed without realizing it and held the post-it note tightly in her hand. She looked around once more and unfolded the paper.
See you in the break room. I've been dying to see you. I'll be there first.
Rattling-
- Seung-ah, are you okay?
After seeing Yoon-ki's note, Manager Kim asked Seung-ah, who was kneeling on the desk. Seung-ah bit her lip and held back a groan before smiling awkwardly and saying she was okay. Yoon-ki, unable to even pretend not to notice, looked at Seung-ah, nodded at her, and headed to the break room.
- are you okay?
- I'm okay... Please don't ask if I'm okay, it'll just make me feel worse...
- The sound was quite loud. Are you hurt?
- Hey, it's okay…!
- This time, I'm not joking. I'm really worried. Let's see.
Finally, Seung-ah sat down on a chair in the breakroom and showed Yoon-ki the knee she'd bumped into. It had been hidden by her skirt when she was standing, but it was now red and swollen. It looked like a deep, dark bruise was about to form. Yoon-ki let out a faint sigh, seemingly displeased, and looked up at Seung-ah with worried eyes.
- It hurts. Did I write that note for nothing?
- No, it's okay! I tend to do this a lot anyway...
- Does this happen often?
- Oh.. haha.. that's right.
- This won't work. If I don't be more careful from now on, I'll have to carry you around.
- Yes? No, what kind of joke are you making..!
- If you don't like it, then don't get hurt. Maybe it really is?
- No, rather than saying I don't like it... Oh, okay... I'll be careful...
Yoongi then smiled softly, as if satisfied. He placed his hand on Seungah's lap as if he were comforting an injured child. He looked at Seungah, who was startled, with love, and before she could say anything, he gently kissed her knee.
- A kiss to make you feel better soon. Well... it's also a rehearsal.
- What, that, that kind of...! What kind of rehearsal...
- Did you forget? We were supposed to kiss today. Are you pretending not to know?
