백현
......
Baekhyun's gaze fixed on the watch was quite sharp.
10 o'clock. 11 o'clock..
As the clock hands raced towards 12 o'clock, Baekhyun's once neat hair was now a mess.
I called Yeoju but she didn't answer, and it was at that moment that I was trying to call Yeo-eun.
`Tiddididick..` The sound of the door lock opening.
Baekhyun quickly got up from his seat and headed to the front door.
However, what greeted Baekhyun was the female protagonist being carried on the back of a stranger.
백현
....what is it?
김민석
..Who are you? Are you Kim Yeo-ju's family? I don't think so.
He's too young to be a father, too old to be an older brother, and most importantly, he doesn't resemble me at all to be a family.
Minseok tilted his head while looking Baekhyun up and down several times.
김민석
Anyway, would you please accept it? Or I'll go in.
백현
..give it here.
김민석
Yes, that's right.
Baekhyun, who received the female lead from Minseok, looked at Minseok standing blankly in the hallway with a displeased look.
백현
Aren't you going?
김민석
..are you family?
백현
you're right.
김민석
...Really? I guess so.
Minseok bowed his head slightly and left.
He is a bad person.
Baekhyun defined Minseok like that and looked down at Yeoju, who was completely asleep.
He probably wasn't drunk, so he just fell asleep on the way. Or...
백현
....Stop talking nonsense and open your eyes.
여주
Haha..how did you know?
백현
It's obvious.
여주
Tch. I was thinking of carrying you and carrying you..!
The female protagonist, who had been leaning against Baekhyun, stood up lightly and pouted.
I fell asleep in Minseok's car and was carried there, but I actually woke up when he handed it over to Baekhyun.
Could you have slept a little more, Kim Yeo-ju? You're being unnecessarily sensitive.
I can't help but feel regret.
백현
What company sends a child at this hour?
여주
Everyone told me to go, but I was late. They're all kind and nice people, right?
백현
..Oh my. What did I do well enough to open my eyes wide.
Baekhyun shook his head and headed to the living room.
Yeoju followed Baekhyun into the living room.
여주
Sir, have you eaten?
백현
Oh. I ate outside and came in.
여주
I see. I was worried that the old man might be waiting for me to have dinner, but I was worried for nothing.
백현
..why am I waiting for you?
여주
Wow, that's a bit hurtful.
Was it really necessary to say that? The female protagonist took out some water from the refrigerator and drank it with a hurt expression.
As the female lead, who had finished drinking the water, entered her room, Baekhyun let out a sigh.
백현
(..Why am I being manipulated like this by him?)
Baekhyun's company was growing.
As it was a company that many people were paying attention to, Baekhyun's sense of responsibility and burden was great.
Today too, Baekhyun was locked in his office and working.
Secretary Kyungsoo, who entered Baekhyun's office, was holding a cell phone in his hand.
백현
What is it?
경수
Ah. I keep getting texts from "Little One." I thought it was urgent.
백현
...give it to me.
I checked the message from the female lead in a hurry, wondering if something urgent had happened.
They were all selfies. They were selfies.
Baekhyun opened each of the photos of the female lead that were sent with comments like, "Hey, aren't I cute?" and "My coworkers said I was pretty today, so I took a bunch of selfies!!" and a smile soon appeared on his face.
경수
What good news! Your face is blooming.
백현
..me?
경수
yes.
백현
I think you've seen it wrong.
Baekhyun pretended not to hear Kyungsoo's words and absentmindedly glanced at the desk, when he happened to see a circled calendar.
It's already the 7th, but yesterday was the little one's birthday? I'm starting to have a mental breakdown.
백현
..What would a 19-year-old female student like, Mr. Kyungsoo?
경수
well.
경수
I think it would be best to buy something that is exactly the opposite of your taste.
백현
Are you dissing me?
경수
Me? The boss? No way~
Baekhyun just let out a hollow laugh at Kyungsoo's nonsense.
After thinking about it for a while, Baekhyun finally called Yeoju.
백현
..What time do you get off work today?
여주
Why is that???
백현
Let's eat. It was your birthday yesterday.
여주
Wow. How did you know?
여주
I'm finishing early today. I'll ask the boss and send him a KakaoTalk message!
And so the call ended.
It was just a brief phone call, but I'm so happy that my ears are still ringing.
Baekhyun thought about that and chuckled.
경수
You're laughing again. Who the hell is that kid? Is he your lover?
백현
..Are you in your right mind? I'm 19 years old.
경수
Wow, you have great skills.. As expected from someone who is handsome and rich..
백현
I told you we're not lovers.
Let's stop talking... Baekhyun didn't respond anymore as he felt like he was being dragged into Kyungsoo's thoughts.
Meanwhile, the KakaoTalk message that came to the female lead was [7 o'clock!!]
백현
(7 o'clock..)
백현
I'm leaving work early today.
07:10 PM
여주
mister!!
백현
Why are you so late?
여주
I'm sorry... Did you keep me waiting long?
백현
..No. Tara.
Baekhyun, who had the female lead in the passenger seat, then got into the driver's seat himself.
Baekhyun couldn't stand the obvious gaze from the side and finally opened his mouth.
백현
Why are you looking at me like that?
여주
The man is handsome.
백현
....Why is this happening?
여주
i like you.
At the female protagonist's words, Baekhyun stopped the car on the side of the road for a moment.
Yeo-ju, seeing Baekhyun's expression harden, closed her eyes tightly. "You're not telling me to get off, are you?"
백현
You. Do you really like me?
여주
...? Yes.. I really like it.
백현
Why do I like it?
여주
He's nice, and just... everything is good.
백현
..So. You want to date me?
여주
......
백현
Then. Will you sleep with me later and get married?
The heroine's heart sank.
Baekhyun finally came to his senses when tears welled up in the eyes of the female lead, who was startled by the sharper tone of speech than usual.
백현
..I'm sorry. Let's eat later.
여주
......
백현
Let's go home.
여주
..No. Just drop me off here.
...? Before Baekhyun could say anything, Yeoju got out of the car.
Baekhyun, who had been staring blankly at the back of the woman walking away for a long time, could not accept the current situation.
여주
..bad, really. Is it really necessary to say that?
한여은
..Should I kill you?
여주
Yes, sir. Please kill me.
It was the female protagonist who called Yeo-eun without thinking.
Yeo-eun was startled by Yeo-ju crying loudly, so she ran out in one step despite it being late at night and took Yeo-ju to her house.
한여은
Heroine. How about just... leaving Baekhyun's house?
여주
...yes?
한여은
You can just stay at your sister's house. Isn't it more comfortable since we're both women?
Yeo-eun's proposal was tempting.
It would be weird to go back to Baekhyun's house like this, and more than anything, Yeo-eun truly cares about Yeo-ju.
The heroine thought for a moment and then nodded.
한여은
Then I'll bring all your luggage tomorrow.
여주
Yes, thank you, sir.
한여은
Okay. I do it because you're cute.
Are you hungry? Yeoju suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes again as she watched Yeo-eun rummage through the fridge.
여주
...Boss. Do you think the feelings I have for you right now are a joke?
한여은
Um... No? But I think the female lead needs to gain a little more experience.
한여은
그래도 변백현은 개새끼야.
Yeo-eun said that and downed the wine in one shot.
