The next day at 4 p.m.
The café was busier than usual.
Chae-eun was frantically taking orders and making drinks with Yeji.
“ Chae-eun, long time no see “
A familiar voice was heard.
Chae-eun looked back.
The owner of the voice was her college senior, Jung Minjae.
정채은
“ Ah, oppa, long time no see ”
“ So you really do work here ”
정채은
“ Yeah _ long time no see, oppa ”
“ Right, I came to have an iced caffè latte ”
정채은
“ Yeah, oppa, it might take a while because we have a lot of orders right now, is that okay? ”
“ Yeah, yeah, it’s fine _ I’ll just contact my girlfriend in the meantime “
정채은
“ Ugh .. as a single person with no lover, how am I supposed to survive .. wait here ㅎ ”
There was someone watching the two of them chatting happily from a seat inside the café.
It was Seongho; he had come when orders were piling up and had been waiting because he couldn’t greet Chae-eun.
But for some reason, he didn’t like seeing Chae-eun smile at another man.
정채은
“ Here’s your iced caffè latte “
“ Thanks, Chae-eun. I’ll come back with my girlfriend later ”
정채은
“ Pff .. ㅎ You’re always welcome ”
A little while later, Seongho approached the counter.
정채은
“ Oh, CEO, you’re here? ”
박성호
“ Yeah, I’m here ”
정채은
“ What can I get you today? ”
박성호
“ I’ll have whatever Chae-eun-ssi gives me ”
정채은
“ Is something.. wrong? “
박성호
“ Who was that guy who came by earlier.. ? ”
정채은
“ Huh? Ah, Minjae oppa? ”
박성호
“ Oppa….? ”
정채은
“ Pff .. ㅎ Are you jealous right now? ”
박성호
“ No ,, ”
정채은
“ Looks like it to me? ㅎ ”
박성호
“ Yes, that’s right _ I was really jealous “
Chae-eun’s eyes widened at his brutally honest answer.
박성호
“ I can’t just not care when the woman I like is smiling and talking to another man “
정채은
“ The woman you like…? ”
박성호
“ Yes, and that’s you, Chae-eun-ssi ”
정채은
“ .. // CEO ”
박성호
“ I’m not going to be vague anymore ”
정채은
“ … Huh? ”
박성호
“ I’m going to say I like you often ”
정채은
“ Ah…// ”
박성호
“ If I get jealous, I’ll say I’m jealous honestly ”
박성호
“ So, Chae-eun-ssi, don’t pretend not to know anymore “
정채은
“ Know what…? ”
박성호
“ That you have feelings for me too ”
정채은
“ …. // “
박성호
“ Your face is red again, ㅎ ”
정채은
“ Don’t tease me..// ”
Chae-eun found Seongho’s jealousy oddly thrilling.
The fact that he really liked her still didn’t feel real.
정채은
“ Ugh.. I was seriously fluttering today ”
How could he say something that fluttering so casually…?
There were customers here, and I thought my heart was going to burst.
Do I really like CEO Park?
Ding-)
정채은
“ Who is it? ”
박성호
( Did you get home safely? )
정채은
“ ㅎ … ”
정채은
( Yes, I got home safely _ ㅎ )
박성호
( Sorry about the jealousy today ,, )
정채은
( No..! It’s fine )
정채은
( I kind of liked it .. )
박성호
( Then I guess I can be more honest from now on )
정채은
“ Pff … ㅎ // ”
박성호
( Do you have a little time? )
정채은
“ Right now..? “
Chae-eun didn’t answer right away.
After thinking for a moment, she put her phone down.
Then her phone rang again.
박성호
( It’s okay if you’re busy )
정채은
( I have time ,, it’s okay )
박성호
( Then let’s meet in front of your café )
정채은
( Okay..! )
정채은
“ .. This outfit should be fine, right? “
rrr
Sender: CEO Park
정채은
“ Hello? CEO ”
박성호
“ I’ll come pick you up “
정채은
“ Where to? ”
박성호
“ In front of the café you texted me about “
정채은
“ Yes…! ”
박성호
“ Let’s meet out front ”
정채은
“ ㅎ … Okay ”
정채은
“ I’ll just wait here..? “
박성호
“ Chae-eun-ssi ”
정채은
“ Ah.. you’re here? ”
박성호
“ ㅎ .. You look pretty again today ”
정채은
“ Seriously.. you say that every day ”
박성호
“ Because it’s true ”
정채은
“ Pff .. ㅎ “
The two of them took a walk together, enjoying the night view.
They also held hands tightly while looking around.
Then Seongho stopped first.
박성호
“ Chae-eun-ssi ”
정채은
“ Yes? ”
박성호
“ Do you remember... when I confessed to you before? ”
정채은
“ Ah.. I remember..,, ”
박성호
“ I’d like you to answer me now ”
박성호
“ What do you think of me? ”
Chae-eun couldn’t say anything for a moment.
It was an answer she’d thought about countless times.
Whether she really liked Seongho.
If she did, why had her answer been so late—was it because of his position as CEO?
Was it because he was so different from her that it felt overwhelming?
But there was only one reason.
She was afraid she’d end up liking him too much.
박성호
“ … If it’s hard to answer, you can text me instead ”
정채은
“ No, I can tell you now “
박성호
“ !… ”
정채은
“ I like you too, CEO Park ” (( smile
박성호
“ … ”
정채은
“ Honestly… I thought about it a lot ”
박성호
“ .. Really? “
정채은
“ When you said you liked me, I was happy, but I felt pressured too “
박성호
“ .. ” (( nod
정채은
“ But.. when you didn’t contact me or come to the café, I found myself waiting “
박성호
“ You were waiting….? ”
정채은
“ And .. when I imagined you being with another woman, I felt sad .. ㅎ “
박성호
“ Then… it’s okay now, right? ”
정채은
“ Yes ,, ㅎㅎ ”
박성호
“ Then from now on, it’s okay for us to keep holding hands, right? “
정채은
“ Of course ㅎ, there’s no reason it wouldn’t be ”
박성호
“ Chae-eun-ssi ”
정채은
“ Yes ,, ”
박성호
“ I’m going to like you a lot from now on ”
정채은
“ Pff .. ㅎ You already seem to like me a lot though? ”
박성호
“ This is just the beginning ”
정채은
“ ㅎㅎ ” (( smile
