Since yesterday, Dongmin had started acting differently toward Jihyun
More precisely, he was trying to act differently
한동민
“Executive Director Yoon”
윤지현
“Yes”
한동민
“I’ll sort out these materials”
윤지현
“?… ”
한동민
“You were working late until right before the company dinner yesterday”
윤지현
“I’m fine”
한동민
“You really are the same as ever, trying to handle everything on your own”
윤지현
“...It’s easier that way”
한동민
“Then please share some of it with me from now on, too”
윤지현
“No ,, it’s okay”
한동민
“Why…?”
윤지현
“I’m afraid I’ll end up taking on even Team Leader-nim’s work”
한동민
“Then I’ll help take care of some of your work, Executive Director”
윤지현
“….. Huh?”
한동민
“That’s fair, isn’t it”
윤지현
“Team Leader, why are you so nice to me?”
Dongmin looked at Jihyun for a moment
And then casually gave his answer
한동민
“Because I like you”
윤지현
“?…. ”
Jihyun’s expression hardened
Dongmin, too, was momentarily flustered after saying it
한동민
“…. I was joking”
윤지현
“Not very funny”
With that, Jihyun hurried back to his office
But the words on the documents wouldn’t sink in
His heart had started pounding too hard
Lunchtime
Jihyun came to the cafeteria to eat with the other colleagues
But as soon as he sat down, someone took the seat in front of him
한동민
“What would you like to eat?”
윤지현
“?… Team Leader Han”
한동민
“Yes”
윤지현
“There are plenty of empty seats here”
한동민
“I know”
윤지현
“If you know that, why are you sitting here… ”
한동민
“Because you’re eating alone, Executive Director”
윤지현
“I prefer eating alone”
한동민
“I eat alone too”
윤지현
“You’re really strange”
한동민
“Me?”
윤지현
“You never used to do things like this”
한동민
“I didn’t know before”
윤지현
“Know what?”
한동민
“Your feelings, Executive Director Yoon”
윤지현
“…. ”
한동민
“Now I do”
윤지현
“So…?”
한동민
“This time, I’m going to do it properly”
“Do what? ”
한동민
“It’s late, but,”
한동민
“I’m going to try liking you”
윤지현
“I’ve already given up”
한동민
“I know”
윤지현
“You don’t have to do this”
한동민
“I don’t like that”
윤지현
“…. ”
윤지현
“I’m not going to open my heart that easily”
한동민
“That’s a relief”
윤지현
“Why?”
한동민
“If you were someone who could be won over easily, I think I’d feel even more sorry”
Jihyun couldn’t say anything
The words bothered him a little
Jihyun was holding a project-related meeting with Manager Park from another department
“Executive Director Yoon, I’ll handle this part personally”
윤지현
“Yes, go ahead”
“After work today, would you like to have dinner with our department team?”
윤지현
“Oh, sure”
Knock-knock-)
The door opened slightly with the sound of a knock
한동민
“Executive Director”
윤지현
“??”
한동민
“Do you have a minute to talk?”
윤지현
“I’m in the middle of a meeting right now… this is so sudden….”
한동민
“Ah .. sorry, I didn’t know”
“It’s fine”
“Then I’ll see you at dinner, Executive Director Yoon”
윤지현
“What’s going on that you came here all of a sudden?”
한동민
“Did you already make dinner plans?”
윤지현
“I do have plans today”
한동민
“Are you with the department staff who just left?”
윤지현
“Yes, I’m supposed to have dinner with their team”
한동민
“Ahh…,, ”
윤지현
“But why are you asking that?”
한동민
“I was jealous”
윤지현
“……. Huh?”
한동민
“I said I’m jealous”
윤지현
“Team Leader, you’re really strange”
한동민
“I know”
윤지현
“What’s the point of being jealous now?”
한동민
“It matters to me”
윤지현
“Ah… ㅎ, it doesn’t to me”
한동민
“Then”
Dongmin looked at Jihyun for a moment
Then he stepped a little closer and continued
한동민
“Let’s make it matter”
윤지현
“Team Leader Han, you don’t need to do that”
한동민
“No, I’m saying this because I don’t want to give up”
윤지현
“……,, “
한동민
“Back then, Executive Director spent the time waiting alone, so I’m going to try liking you”
윤지현
“What… are you talking about?”
한동민
“You don’t have to answer”
Dongmin turned toward the door
한동민
“Just don’t run away”
He opened the door and went back to his seat
Jihyun quietly looked at that door, then returned to his seat
In the end, I asked for understanding and canceled the appointment
The reason was Team Leader Han Dongmin
The things he had said during the day kept circling in my head
“This time, I’ll try liking you”
When I thought about those words, my feelings became strangely tangled
I had waited for 8 years and given up on my own
My phone rang
Caller: Team Leader Han
한동민
(Did you get home safely?)
Jihyun looked at the message
He typed a reply, erased it, and sent nothing
But 5 minutes later
another message came in
한동민
(It’s okay if you don’t reply, I texted because I was worried)
Jihyun looked a little flustered, finished getting ready to leave work, and went out
윤지현
“Why exactly are you trying so hard to be nice to me…?”
윤지현
“……”
Why was Team Leader Han being so nice to me?
I thought that back then, he had rejected me because he had no feelings for me
But now he says he does have feelings, and wants to be nice to me
What on earth is he trying to be nice to me for?
Why do you have to confuse people’s feelings like that…
rrr
윤지현
“??”
Caller: Han Dongmin
윤지현
“?…. Hello?”
한동민
“Did you get home safely?”
윤지현
“I’m on the bus home”
한동민
“I see”
윤지현
“Why did you call?”
한동민
“Just… because I was worried”
윤지현
“Why are you worried about me, Team Leader Han?”
한동민
“Because I like you, so I worry”
윤지현
“...Ah ,, yes”
한동민
“Let’s have a meal together sometime”
윤지현
“?… ”
한동민
“I want to have dinner with Jihyun sometime”
윤지현
“…. Ah ,, well, sure”
한동민
“((snicker”
한동민
“Then I’ll be looking forward to it”
윤지현
“….. Heh, yes”
