The next morning
Jihyeon decided to trust Dongmin a little more because of what happened yesterday
The hurt from back then still lingered, but she still wanted to trust him
윤지현
“ Wow... what happened yesterday? ”
Yesterday, I left work with Team Leader Han, had a meal, and…
Right… he even brought me my jacket and walked me all the way to my place
Just thinking about it makes me shy
윤지현
“ …. Ah // ”
“ Director Yoon..? ”
윤지현
“ Ah … yes ”
“ Did something good happen to you? You look so happy and cheerful ”
윤지현
“ Ah.. heh “
한동민
“ Good morning, Director Yoon ”
윤지현
“ Ah.. yes ,, ”
한동민
“ Yesterday was nice “
윤지현
“ !…. //// ”
한동민
“ Can I leave work with you again today? “
윤지현
“ Hmm… I guess so.. // ”
윤지현
“ Am I wavering..,, heh “
I cried so much back then on graduation day
I’d worked up the courage to confess, but I never thought he’d reject me so firmly
I knew we were student and teacher, but he could’ve just told me to wait..
It hurt so much
But now we’ve met again here, and I’m wavering
윤지현
“ Am I.. still really that into him…? ”
Knock, knock-)
한동민
“ Director Yoon, may I come in? “
윤지현
“ … Yes ,, come in ”
한동민
“ I have something to say briefly; do you have time? ”
윤지현
“ Ah .. yes ,, go ahead “
한동민
“ I have something I want to say on the company rooftop; can you come later? “
윤지현
“ ….,, ”
Jihyeon thought for a moment
Then she looked at Dongmin again and said
윤지현
“ Sure ,, what time should I come? “
한동민
“ Around .. 7 o’clock should be fine, is that okay? “
윤지현
“ Hmm… okay ”
한동민
“ .. heh ” (( grinning
윤지현
“ ?? “
한동민
“ Because I’m happy seeing your face, Director Yoon ”
윤지현
“ … // If you’re done talking, get back to work ”
한동민
“ Yes ,, heh ” (( snickering
It was meeting time
During the meeting, Jihyeon stole a glance at Dongmin, who was focusing with a serious expression
The moment she saw him, she thought of what happened yesterday and quickly turned her head away
윤지현
“ ..,, ”
” Let’s end today’s meeting here and do the rest tomorrow ”
한동민
“ Director Yoon “
윤지현
“ Yes ? ”
한동민
“ Want to have dinner with me tonight? ”
윤지현
“ Uh.. okay ”
한동민
“ And also ”
윤지현
“ Yes ? ”
한동민
“ I was happy when you smiled today “
윤지현
“ …. Yes ,, I’ll come up to the rooftop later // “
At 7 o’clock, when the city lights had begun to spread below
Jihyeon was leaning against the railing, looking out at the view
Then Dongmin approached from behind
한동민
“ Have you been waiting long? ”
윤지현
“ No ,, ”
한동민
“ It must be cold ”
윤지현
“ I’m fine ”
한동민
” Again? “
Dongmin took off his coat and lightly draped it over Jihyeon’s shoulders
윤지현
“ Heh .. “
윤지현
“ You did this last time too ”
한동민
“ I’ll keep doing it from now on ”
윤지현
“ Why? ”
한동민
“ Because I don’t like seeing the person I like being cold ”
Jihyeon lowered her head for a moment
윤지현
“ But.. what did you want to talk about today? Why did you call me up here? ”
한동민
“ I’m going to confess “
윤지현
“ …… Confess? ”
Jihyeon’s eyes widened slightly
한동민
“ Yes … “
한동민
“ Yun Jihyeon ”
윤지현
“ Yes..,, “
한동민
“ I like you, Director Yoon ”
His voice was calm, but certain
Jihyeon was slightly surprised
한동민
“ At first, I didn’t really know “
윤지현
“ … Know what? “
한동민
“ That you liked me, and how much heart you gave me back then “
윤지현
“ … ”
Jihyeon listened quietly
한동민
“ But after we met again at work, I understood “
Dongmin took a step closer, just enough not to burden Jihyeon
한동민
“ You keep catching my eye “
윤지현
“ .. Really? ”
한동민
“ When I come to work, I end up looking for you first ”
윤지현
“ …. You’re looking for me? ”
한동민
“ I want you to stop smiling prettily at other men and only do that for me ”
한동민
“ And if I can think that I made you smile, I’m even happier “
윤지현
“ Team Leader Han..,, “
한동민
“ So now I want to say it clearly ”
윤지현
“ Say what…? ”
한동민
“ Yun Jihyeon ”
윤지현
“ …yes ,, ”
한동민
“ Please go out with me ”
윤지현
“ ….. ”
Jihyeon couldn’t say anything for a moment
Dongmin didn’t rush her
After a moment, Jihyeon opened her mouth
윤지현
“ …. I’m scared “
한동민
“ .. I know ”
윤지현
“ I.. don’t want to get hurt alone again ”
한동민
“ I won’t let you get hurt ”
윤지현
“ … How am I supposed to believe that? “
한동민
“ I’m not going to ask you to believe me right away ”
윤지현
“ … I’ll think about it ”
Jihyeon’s expression softened a little, and a few tears spilled from her eyes
Dongmin reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes
한동민
“ Don’t cry.. heh ”
윤지현
“ It’s because of Team Leader Han… heh ”
한동민
“ I’m sorry…,, ”
윤지현
“ … Me too ”
Jihyeon thought for a moment
Dongmin waited without pressing her
윤지현
“ … I still like you ”
한동민
“ Really? “
윤지현
“ (( nod “
한동민
“ ..,, heh ”
윤지현
“ I thought the feelings I had for you back when I was a student were gone ”
Jihyeon gave a slight smile
윤지현
“ I guess not after all.. heh I like you too, Team Leader Han ”
한동민
“ … Thank you, for accepting me ”
윤지현
“ …. heh ” (( grinning
한동민
“ This time I’ll do better ”
Dongmin gently held out his hand to Jihyeon
After looking at it for a moment, Jihyeon reached out and took his hand
A warm silence flowed between them
윤지현
“ Heh .. I’ll trust you a lot “
한동민
“ Thank you ”
윤지현
“ … heh ”
한동민
“ Jihyeon ”
윤지현
“ Yes? ”
한동민
“ If we said today is the day we first meet, would that be okay? ”
윤지현
“ Pfft .. heh Why? ”
한동민
“ Because I want to start over ”
윤지현
“ Yeah _ okay ”
Dongmin did not let go of her hand
Between the two of them, the barriers had now fallen, and love had begun to bloom
A hearting !
