#Episode 62
“Ah, no, that’s not what I meant…”
Eun Hyeok hung his head with a dejected expression.
He couldn’t even help her with the chicken breast.
“Hehe, this guy doesn’t know how to eat chicken. It’s so delicious though. But where did you buy this? It’s really good.”
Da-som read the atmosphere and rambled on about anything. Then Kyung-tae responded to Da-som’s words and continued the conversation.
“Right? Our Da-som knows good taste. I’ve conquered all the chicken places around the hospital, but I haven’t seen anywhere as delicious as this place.”
“Wow, really? That’s why it’s so delicious.”
As Da-som kept exclaiming how delicious it was while tearing into the chicken, Kyung-tae looked at Da-som with an expression that said he found her absolutely adorable.
This is what wise social life is all about.
Da-som glanced at Eun Hyeok and then diligently tore into the drumstick.
Creak.
Just then, the department door swung wide open.
The person who appeared with a cool, intimidating presence was Kang Hyeok.
Everyone automatically stood up from their seats and bowed their heads toward Kang Hyeok.
“Good evening, Professor.”
“I bought chicken with the card you gave us, Professor.”
Kyung-tae hurried over to Kang Hyeok and held out the card with both hands. After taking it and shoving it into his coat pocket, Kang Hyeok came over next to Da-som and sat in the empty seat.
“Hey, gloves. Bring gloves.”
Kyung-tae shouted while looking for plastic gloves.
Then Ilrok moved in perfect coordination, presenting plastic gloves and cola in front of Kang Hyeok.
“Don’t mind me and hurry up and eat.”
“Thank you for the meal.”
Kang Hyeok had no intention of eating chicken at all as he leaned back loosely in his chair and quietly watched Da-som tearing into the drumstick.
“Haha, our Da-som must really love chicken. She’s eating so heartily.”
Kyung-tae chimed in to add a comment.
“Our Da-som is like that.”
Kang Hyeok raised the corners of his mouth in a grin as he looked at Da-som.
What exactly are you doing right now?
When the flustered Da-som turned red-faced and didn’t know what to do, Kang Hyeok pushed the chicken in front of him toward Da-som.
“Eat a lot. Don’t worry about anyone else. Have some cola too.”
“Th-thank you.”
As she kept her head down and held her breath, Kang Hyeok patted Da-som’s shoulder a couple times and stood up from his seat.
“I’m fine, so everyone eat comfortably.”
With those words, he leisurely walked out of the department.
Why exactly did he come?
Da-som rolled her big eyes and made eye contact with Han Byeol. Han Byeol also shrugged as if she didn’t know either.
Click.
The sound of the door closing awakened the silence in the department.
“Ahem, let’s all eat.”
Kyung-tae spoke up first to salvage the atmosphere. Da-som felt like chicken was stuck in her throat.
Everyone looked at the cooling chicken and then started attacking it again.
Buzz.
Da-som secretly checked her text when she heard her phone briefly vibrate inside her coat.
“The weather’s nice, shall we take a walk? Let’s meet at the main building entrance in 30 minutes. Get ready to leave work and come out.”
Da-som quickly looked around and then typed a text. But Eun Hyeok leaned his face in trying to see the text.
“What is it?”
“Go away.”
Da-som quickly typed her text so he couldn’t see it, then shoved her phone into her coat pocket.
She could see Eun Hyeok’s lips sticking out, but she couldn’t reveal all her private life.
Da-som ate the chicken deliciously while keeping track of time.
***
After leaving the department and going back up to the research lab, Kang Hyeok organized the materials scattered on his desk.
Then the image of Da-som eating chicken with her cheeks puffed out came to mind and he chuckled.
He thought he’d take a walk with Da-som to help her digest.
There was also the fact that if he was at home with Da-som, he’d probably only think about that.
As soon as he sent the text, a reply came immediately.
She used to send cute texts for a while, but even that had become infrequent lately.
“I’m waiting for you honey I’ll be right there”
Looking at the text full of typos, Kang Hyeok burst into laughter.
She must have been quite rushed. Was she worried Eun Hyeok sitting next to her would see?
He tapped the phone screen with his fingertip and took in the word “honey.”
He was already holding back, and now she was making his heart flutter with texts like this.
“Really…”
Walk or whatever…
Kang Hyeok, who still had two days left, decided not to think in that direction at all and ran his hand through his hair.
…But just in case, should he at least bring it up?
A little later, Kang Hyeok changed clothes on time and left the research lab.
Tap tap.
When he turned his head at the sound of tapping on the car window, Da-som was smiling brightly.
Whirr.
Kang Hyeok rolled down the window and said.
“Hurry and get in.”
“Didn’t you say we were taking a walk?”
Da-som peeked her flushed face through the gap as she spoke, and he quietly took in how pretty she looked.
“Then shall we hold hands and walk here?”
When Kang Hyeok unbuckled his seatbelt and tried to get out, Da-som quickly got in the car.
“Haha, is there a good place to take a walk?”
Da-som’s awkward smile made Kang Hyeok chuckle too.
“You need to put on your seatbelt.”
“Ah, yes.”
Da-som skillfully fastened her belt and straightened her clothes. Da-som’s style of dress had changed since they went to the hospital opening ceremony.
It seemed like her sister had coached her on various things, and the effect was truly remarkable.
Her beauty wasn’t going anywhere, but Da-som’s more feminine attire had made her beauty shine recently.
The same was true now.
Her appearance in a fluttering dress and cute cardigan was downright dangerous for the heart.
“Hand.”
When he reached his arm to the side, Da-som took Kang Hyeok’s hand. Gripping her small hand tightly, Kang Hyeok drove slowly.
“Driving like this is nice too.”
Da-som, unaware of Kang Hyeok’s devious intentions, smiled brightly with an innocent face.
Da-som’s two eyes sparkled beautifully in the light.
Looking at those clear eyes, he felt like the boiling heat was calming down a little.
Kang Hyeok brought their joined hands to his lips and kissed them while pondering where to go.
Should he go to that place where they shared their first kiss?
He remembered the passionate kiss they shared on that rainy day until the car windows fogged up.
Kang Hyeok stopped the car at a red light and quietly looked at Da-som’s face.
“Jeong Da-som.”
When he called her name, Da-som answered with a fresh smile.
“Yes?”
“Try calling me honey.”
While reading her texts, I would sometimes imagine what it would feel like if Da-som called me that.
“Huh, …right now?”
Seeing Da-som’s flustered face, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
She acts all cute in texts, but when I tell her to do it directly in person, she can’t.
But if that word actually came out of those lips, wouldn’t I have a heart attack?
“…honey?”
Kang Hyeok’s eyes slowly widened. He really felt like his heart dropped.
“Wrapping cloth, pottery, …typewriter, cute and charming, what else was there?”
Because Da-som suddenly started playing word association, Kang Hyeok burst out laughing.
“Puhahaha.”
“Haa, it’s a bit embarrassing. I’ll gradually get used to calling you that. Okay?”
Kang Hyeok nodded while gently stroking Da-som’s hair.
“Yeah, do that. My honey.”
Kang Hyeok cheekily started the car.
“Ah, Professor seems quite shameless.”
Da-som said with a giggle.
“You just realized?”
“I knew it long ago.”
Kang Hyeok leaned back in his seat and drove leisurely while exchanging various conversations with Da-som.
To others, it might sound like trivial jokes, but this time spent having such conversations was incredibly precious and satisfying.
Isn’t this the charm that makes everyone fall in love?
“But Da-som.”
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Kang Hyeok called her name while gauging her reaction.
“Yes.”
“Well, so, don’t you think about moving it up from 7 days?”
He had been planning to bring this up when the opportunity arose, even before leaving the Research Lab. Though it was questionable whether Da-som would allow it.
“…How much?”
Da-som asked with her eyes slightly narrowed.
“Um, …to 5 days.”
“That would be today.”
“Yeah.”
“Then what kind of punishment would that be? No way.”
Da-som flatly refused. That meant he had to wait two more days.
Kang Hyeok groaned and rubbed his face.
At first, when she said 10 days, he thought he could endure it well.
But he was realizing day by day what a huge mistake that was.
Even running like a madman on the treadmill, even taking cold showers to cool down the heat, nothing worked.
If she wasn’t visible in front of him, he might somehow endure it, but doing everything like holding hands and kissing while avoiding just that one thing was driving him even crazier.
“I think something’s broken.”
“Wh-what is?”
“What do you think?”
“Surely, it’s not what I’m thinking, right?”
“What’s that?”
Kang Hyeok asked with a chuckle.
Then Da-som leaned toward Kang Hyeok as if to confirm and reached her hand toward his thigh.
If she touched him there, he might really explode.
Kang Hyeok grabbed Da-som’s hand to prevent her from touching him further.
“You mean here?”
Da-som mustered her courage and said while looking at Kang Hyeok’s face.
“Not there, but here.”
He took Da-som’s hand and placed it on Kang Hyeok’s head. Then Da-som’s face turned bright red.
“Really, you’re like that?”
“I’m saying my head seems broken, but Da-som is more naughty than she looks.”
