The younger man's direct approach
13
"Sister, how was your day?"
"Hmm... It was better than I thought."
"When do we meet again?"
"Tomorrow? Shall we meet tomorrow?"
"What..? I have to work."
"If you come to me, you don't have to work."
Look at this kid? He's just so good at using his face??? I doubt there's anyone who wouldn't fall for something like that with that face. Of course, I absolutely wouldn't fall for it!! A cute little brother...? Or maybe a cute and handsome little brother...? He's just fucking handsome. The fact that he's younger is a turn-off, and that comment is a turn-off...
"Don't go over."
"Tch.. Isn't it time to move on now??"
"I'm so good at this, why don't you come over?"
"There is no man like me in this world..."
He looked to be about 180cm tall, and those raging muscles that made the gym feel like home. He looked at me with those bright, sparkling eyes, and he was so cute. Honestly, there's no man like him. He's perfect—home, looks, and wealth. Judging by the way he treats me, his personality seems decent, and he's got a great sense of humor. But, men like this are easily seduced by women, right?
"I'm here, thanks for bringing me here."
"Are you here already..??"
"Why is the house so close..."
"It's better if we're close."
"You go in quickly, it's already 10 o'clock."
"I wanted to stay with you longer..."
Is it because he's younger than me...? It was amazing how he could say such things so casually. I wouldn't be able to say such things because it would be cringey. But it made me laugh a little when I saw his earlobes turning pink even though he looked fine. It's fun to watch our manager's face turn red when he says such things. Isn't our manager so cute? Jungkook is also kind of cute... Never!!
"We'll meet again later."
"Will you meet me..?!"
"If you say you don't want to meet me, you won't call me?"
"That's not it..."
"Go in, I'll contact you."
"Sister, I love you!!"
It's cute_
"Boss! Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
"..Oh, I have plans for the evening."
"...is it so?"
"Then do you have time tomorrow or the day after?"
"...Sorry. I'm busy tomorrow too."
Lies. I haven't seen him for that long, but as someone I like, I know him well. When he lies, he avoids my gaze, his hands fidget. Why does he lie to me? Has he grown to dislike me...? Is it because I met Jungkook? Or has he met a new woman? If so, there's nothing I can do...
"Ah... you're busy.."
"Then there's nothing I can do.. haha"
"..Have you met this love...?"
"..I met you yesterday."
"How was it, was it good?"
"..We just met."
"..You look happy."
"Yes..? Manager, I can't hear you very well."
"Oh, no. Go and work."
"..yes."
Yesterday, I saw Issa and Yeoju together. I remembered I left something at the office, so I went to go check on Yeoju's pouch, and when I got home to give it to her, she was beaming with utter bliss. I know full well she's doing this for me, with that man. If I had just a little more ability, Yeoju wouldn't have to do this. But Yeoju seemed to enjoy it, too. She seemed happier than when she was with me, not because she was forced to.
"Ah, manager."
"There's a project we're working on together, and they're going to sign a contract soon."
"So don't worry too much."
For me, he's working so hard, and I wonder if my reaction is right, but what if our eyes meet...? What if we fall in love like that...? I can't live without Yeo-ju... I love Yeo-ju so much... But will Yeo-ju be happy with me..? Since Isa is more capable, wouldn't he make her happier..? If Yeo-ju can be happy... I can give up. I really do love her, but if it's for Yeo-ju's happiness...
"..my lady."
"yes?"
"...Are you happy now?"
"Hmm... I'm happy to be with you, boss."
"What's wrong, sir?"
"...I'm just happy too."
"That's good, you'll be happier later! I'll make it happen for you."
"I just need you to be happy.. hehe"
