It's my turn now, baby.

[ 33 ] Ambiguous question, ambiguous relationship

_A few days later,

In the end, the female lead who received Taehyung's modeling offer came into the company lobby to sign the contract.

At first, Taehyung said he would go with her, but Yeoju refused, saying she was worried about what people would think if she came with the company CEO and the model. So they compromised and decided to just call her when they came.

The heroine walked briskly, wearing a suit of trousers that highlighted her long physique and a neat top. Her stylish attire and model-like stride were enough to make even passersby turn around.

She, who had been making a pleasant, clear sound of her shoes clicking, suddenly stops and calls Taehyung as if she just remembered something.

김태형

- Oh, ma'am.

구여주

- I didn't get a call when I left earlier. I'm just here. I'm in the company lobby...

김태형

- Really? Wait there, I'll come down.

구여주

- Oh, it's okay! I have to work, sir.

김태형

- It's okay to come out for a bit lol

김태형

- You don't know the way anyway. You need a visitor's pass, too.

구여주

- ......

구여주

-Okay, come quickly-

김태형

- Yeah, go now.

The call ends with a click, and the woman glances at the watch on her wrist for a moment before waiting for Taehyung to come down.

If you look closely, you can see they've exchanged phone numbers. What was so urgent? They even shared their numbers in a hurry so they could still call each other even if they were gone.

It's also possible to vaguely predict that the relationship that seemed so close yet distant three years ago has now become the closest of relationships. What was born from trial and error is now being put to rest.

김태형

Save the heroine-!

구여주

!....

구여주

Shhh!... What if someone hears?

김태형

So what if I hear it - it's okay.

구여주

no...

김태형

There's nothing you need to worry about - just relax and rest easy.

구여주

...snickers-] Okay.

김태형

Then shall we go?

구여주

Yes! lol

Taehyung chuckled at the sight of the female protagonist, who seemed to be in a good mood. No matter how much the female protagonist had grown up, Taehyung still saw her as cute.

And then, Taehyung raised one corner of his mouth and gently grabbed the woman's hand. The woman was startled by his sudden action and tried to pull his hand away, but Taehyung held her hand even tighter, as if driving a wedge into it.

“There aren’t many people around right now. I wanted to hold your hand the moment I saw you,” he said with a gentle smile, and the female protagonist shook her head several times as if she couldn’t stop him.

"You can't catch me in the office... okay? Got it?" Taehyung glanced at Yeoju as she spoke, making it unclear whether it was a favor or a request. Unable to resist Yeoju's urging, he smiled and nodded.

김태형

I'll try to endure it, seeing what you're doing.

구여주

Uh huh..-? That won't do-

김태형

Okay, okay, I understand, listen to what you say.

The door to the special room of the marketing department opens with a loud bang, and as Yeo-ju and Tae-hyung enter, the marketing department employees greet them as if they had been waiting for them.

Some people, including Taehyung, couldn't hide their slightly nervous expressions as they asked, "Why is the CEO here...?" and Yeoju looked even more stiff as she looked at the employees.

김태형

Here is the model I mentioned before, Ms. Gu Yeo-ju

구여주

Hello!... Please take care of me.

"Shall we sit down and talk? Sit here, Miss Gu Yeo-ju."

김태형

Please take good care of me. It's my first time with you, so please handle me with care.

김태형

I'd love to stay here, but I think you'll be uncomfortable, so I'll go. See you later, Yeoju.

"Yes...! Come in, sir...!"

"Miss Yeoju, please sit down quickly. Haha, you're prettier in person. Even more so than I expected."

구여주

Besisi-] Thank you...

With a pounding heart, I sat down on the rather plush chair. I wanted to look around, but I held back the urge and placed my hands on my knees, looking stiff.

The marketing staff burst into laughter at her fresh-faced appearance. They simply found her innocent and cute.

And, even though Yeo-ju was very nervous and trembling during the meeting, her opinions and beliefs were firm, and the marketing department staff seemed to be gradually falling for Yeo-ju's charm.

As if the female protagonist had been dragged along by Taehyung. The contract, before long, showed a reasonable compromise between the female protagonist and her employees, a win-win situation, and both sides seemed satisfied with the conclusion.

"Then, see you on the day of the shoot, Miss Yeoju."

"Personally, I really like you, Ms. Yeoju. I also really like your attitude of wanting to work hard."

"And, just as fate would have it, Yeoju would be our company's model, the clothes fit her perfectly."

"The CEO said that he pushed for our company to make clothes for Yeoju-ssi_"

"I hope it's been a long time. Please take care of me, Miss Gu Yeo-ju."

구여주

Sing-] Thank you for the compliment.

구여주

It's been a while since I started modeling, and this is my first time working for such a big company.

구여주

I will make sure that you won't regret signing the contract, Team Leader.

"As expected of Yeoju-ssi, haha. I really like that attitude."

After that, the female lead and her staff exchanged kind words with each other, and their meeting to conclude the contract ended successfully.

The staff also wondered if Taehyung had chosen them, but thankfully, there didn't seem to be any bad people, so Yeoju felt a sense of relief. Now, she could truly do what she loved.

_In front of the representative office, at the desk.

구여주

Peek-a-boo-]

After the meeting, Yeo-ju was leaving the conference room, and was almost bored, wondering what to do next, when she received a text message from Tae-hyung, who somehow knew about it.

My uncle: Are you done? Come to the CEO's office. If you don't know the way, call.

[My uncle: No, should I pick you up? I'll pick you up.]

: No, I'll go find it. I can go alone.

: And, sir, don't keep trying to leave. ㅡㅡ Only the secretary is having a hard time.

[My uncle: Huh, I work too? I'm just excited that you came.]

: Yes, yes, you would be foolish to do that.

[My uncle: .......]

[My uncle: Come quickly. Before I become a player.]

: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha yes

So, Yeo-ju, who somehow managed to find her way to the CEO's office, cautiously stepped into the desk, saying she was a bit worried.

Taehyung's secretary, Yoongi, who was working hard on the keyboard, felt a presence and saw Yeoju. As soon as he saw her, his eyes widened and he was startled, and because of that, he jumped up from his spot.

The female protagonist sees Yoon-ki for the first time in a long time, but since he is not a stranger, she relaxes a little and approaches him.

구여주

Long time no see, Secretary Min_ㅎ

민윤기

Gu... Miss Yeoju?

구여주

Still working as a secretary? It's nice to meet you.

민윤기

It's just the same. What_

민윤기

Call in advance...um, the CEO called you, right?

구여주

Oh, what? How did you know?

민윤기

I just... think so. If Ms. Gu Yeo-ju was going to come, I feel like she would definitely contact me.

구여주

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what is that-.

김태형

...Why don't you come in-.

김태형

Outside, I'm just having a little fun with Secretary Min. Come back quickly...

구여주

What, why are you here? I came here so gladly.

김태형

You should come to me, you're welcome. You haven't come to me yet, you went to Secretary Min.

Taehyung, who was feeling uneasy for no reason, leaned against the door of the CEO's office, crossed his arms, and stared at Yeoju.

No, actually, he had been listening intently since the moment the female protagonist started talking to Yoon-ki, and he noticed that the female protagonist had come and was sitting on the sofa chair.

Taehyung heard the female lead's laughter and let out a breath, saying 'Huh-...' and crossed his arms as he left the CEO's office.

구여주

I just briefly greeted Secretary Min...

구여주

I was going to go in now, now!

김태형

...really?

구여주

[Sigh-] Yes, come in. Quickly.

At the female protagonist's words, she got up from the door and stopped staring. (Actually, she seemed a little upset.) The female protagonist laughed inwardly at him, then grabbed Taehyung's collar and went into the CEO's office.

Yoon-ki, who had been watching quietly, sighed and said, "Really..." Then, he chuckled at the two's teasing and went back to work.

The office door closed with a bang. Then, Yeo-ju and Tae-hyung entered the office.

구여주

mister,

김태형

huh-

구여주

....That, haha ​​just now-

구여주

You were jealous, weren't you?

김태형

...I?

구여주

Yeah, sir.

김태형

No?

구여주

That's right.

김태형

...I said no-

구여주

Sigh-]

구여주

Whatever it is,

구여주

It's really cute.

김태형

What-?

Taehyung looks dumbfounded at the word "cute," and mutters, "Who said who was cute?" Hearing someone say he's cute at this age.

And, the heroine burst into laughter at the sight of him, who was so cute.

김태형

My lady,

구여주

yes?

김태형

But you know-, we-

구여주

Hahahaha what is it-

Taehyung dragged out his words, and with his signature cute smile on his face, he approached the female protagonist with one step, two steps,

The heroine was fooled by his cute face and stood there quietly smiling, not really aware that Taehyung was approaching her one step, two steps at a time.

The two were placed at a fairly close distance. From a distance of about 30cm, Taehyung looked down at Yeoju, and Yeoju looked up at Taehyung.

김태형

What's our relationship?

구여주

...yes?

Taehyung asked a question that might leave a somewhat ambiguous answer. And the female protagonist was taken aback by it.

Even though they look like a couple, they're not a couple yet. Well, that doesn't mean they're not together at all. If I say that, Taehyung will obviously be upset.

++ Indeed, how will you answer!! (Boom bang)

++ No, but is that 4000 character thing real? ㅋㅋ큐ㅠㅠ Seriously, you need to get a promotion, Richie... When are you going to write part 3...

++ Hehe... I, I'm happy... I'm so happy that I'm celebrating my 300th day... Good

🌸 Sonting 🌸
