03. ???

"Huk huk... Senior Baekhyun over there??"
변백현
"Ah!! I'm sorry, Miss Yeoju, I was so angry..."
After Baekhyun-sunbae saved me from getting hit by Joohyun-sunbae, he held my wrist tightly and walked quickly.
변백현
"....Are you very surprised?"
As silence flowed, senior Baekhyun spoke first.
나
"Ah... I was a little surprised, but senior Baekhyun saved me... Thank you!!"
The usually bright senior suddenly changed, so I tried to change the mood and ended up going overboard.
변백현
"I was going to the steam room, but I saw you with Bae Joo-hyun. But then Yeo-ju went to the rooftop, so I followed her... And in the first place, this incident was because of me..."
Senior Baekhyun said this.
The boss's secretary is supposed to leave after not even lasting a week, but there were a lot of rumors within the company because I was still holding on even after a month.

"Hey, you know what? That new boss's secretary is a parachute."
직원 2
"Really?? I knew it. Would you last a month as that devilish boss's secretary, or even as a parachute?"
직원 3
'Or maybe you're just being mean to the boss? Haha.'
직원 1
'Oh, that could be true lol'
Baekhyun senior overheard this while passing by, but he said that since this kind of gossip was so common in the company, he tried to ignore it and pass by.
But when I listened closely, I realized that what I was saying was nonsense, so I got angry and argued with him.
변백현
"What if you whine to my face and say you're the boss's secretary, but then gossip about me behind my back? And you weren't hired by Yeoju by parachute, you were hired officially. I was the interviewer, so does that mean I received a bribe from the boss?"
직원 2
"sorry!!"
변백현
"after.."
At that time, senior Joohyun was next to me, and it turned out that senior Joohyun had liked senior Baekhyun for a long time.
변백현
"sorry..."
I ended up petting it because it looked like a sullen puppy.
변백현
"?"
나
"It's okay! Baekhyun-sunbae told me that I wasn't a parachute. What's wrong with that? I'm grateful!"
변백현
"Haha, thank you."
For some reason, a faint blush appeared on Baekhyun's face.
When I looked at the clock, it was already 3 o'clock.
나
"I'm late!! I'm sorry, senior. I have a meeting with the boss. I'll go first."
변백현
"Oh yes! Be careful!!"
나
"yes!!"
김준면
"...this company's management"
He was usually a devilish boss, but during meetings, he was a perfect boss with a gentle charisma.
나
'wow....'
김준면
"?"
startled
I was staring at him so intently that I made eye contact with the boss.
김준면
'Why are you staring so intently?'
My face burned and I averted my eyes because of the boss who hit the nail on the head while smiling.
And where my eyes were, there was senior Baekhyun.
나
'Are you having a meeting too, senior?'
변백현
'Yes haha I wanted to see you, Yeoju, and I met you here.'
나
'Don't lie lol'
변백현
'No... if you have dinner plans later, would you like to eat together?'
나
'yes!!'
It was fortunate because I had been worrying a lot about when to ask her to have dinner since I cancelled our dinner plans last time.
And then an hour later the meeting ended.
김준면
"Why were you staring at me like that during the meeting, Lady? Am I too handsome?"
나
"No!!"
김준면
"Well, that's true...what did you talk about with Baekhyun Byun?"
나
"Baekhyun senior just asked me to eat dinner together..."
김준면
"What?? Why don't you eat with me and only with Baekhyun?"
나
"You didn't ask."
김준면
"still..."
나
"Haha, are you jealous right now?"
김준면
"Ah... no! I..."
경호원
"Boss, we're in trouble!! The young lady..."
김준면
"What's going on?"
He asked the bodyguard again in a cold voice, as if asking when that had happened.
박수영
"Oppa~~!!"
김준면
".....?"
김준면
"Park Soo-young?"
경호원
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, the young lady was making a fuss about coming in..."
박수영
"When did I!! Sir, go quickly!"
경호원
"yes..."
As the bodyguard disappeared, a woman named Miss approached the boss.
박수영
"Oppa!! Why haven't you been texting me or coming to see me lately? That's why I came to see you myself!!"
김준면
"Sooyoung... this is the company. Let's talk about personal matters outside."
박수영
"Oh, I hate it, you always do that and we don't even meet!! But who's next to you?"
The president said to Park Soo-young, who was looking at me with a slightly distorted expression.
김준면
"My new secretary, I still have work to do..."
박수영
"Oh, nice to meet you!! I'm Park Soo-young, Junmyeon oppa's fiancée. I'll be seeing you a lot from now on!"
For some reason, Park Soo-young was emphasizing the word "fiancée." Something about it made me feel uneasy.
김준면
"What kind of engagement is this? We just had a meal together as a family, and you insisted on eating it too."
Even though the boss's voice was getting louder, Park Soo-young didn't flinch.
박수영
"Well, that's it. Now that we're on the subject, when are we getting married? I think your parents are also in favor of you marrying me."
marriage
These two words stuck in my head. Why does my heart pound at these two words?
김준면
"Suyeong, oppa, I want to marry someone I really like. I don't want to get married unilaterally because of work."
박수영
"There's no one who likes you anyway. If you marry me and live together, won't you start to like me too?"
김준면
".....I have someone I like"
박수영
"Haha, don't lie, oppa. Who is that?"
김준면
"......."
김준면
"The secretary I just met is someone I really like."
나
'??'
What the?? My head was spinning. When you said you liked me a while ago, I thought you were joking. But now...
박수영
"Oppa? Do you hate me that much?? Enough to make something up like that?? There's no way oppa would like a secretary like this!!"
김준면
"Don't call me a secretary. I really like you."
I was so surprised that I stared at the boss.
at that time
The boss's lips touched mine for a moment and then left.
김준면
"Okay? You know I really like you, so stop making a scene here."
Park Soo-young left with an expression that seemed almost like crying.
박수영
"Brother...just wait and see."
A few minutes after Park Soo-young left, the president spoke with worried eyes.
김준면
"Are you okay?? I'm sorry.."
Only then did I realize the situation and my face flushed.
Then the boss smiled slightly and said
김준면
"Your face is so red? Are you okay?"
I was so embarrassed that I got up and kept running.
나
Miss...you're so annoying
변백현
"Hey, Miss Yeoju!!"
나
"?? Baekhyun senior?"
변백현
“Why are you running like that? Your face is red. Are you okay??”
I wasn't particularly excited by the worried look in Baekhyun's eyes.
나
'The person I like is senior Baekhyun, but why is my heart beating so fast?'
