Chapter 61

“…Senior?”

She had been missing Jaejun, and now that he appeared right before her eyes, her heart began to race.

Jaejun stared intently at her as if he couldn’t see anyone else but Yoomin.

“What? Do you two know each other?”

At Kwon Secretary’s Father’s words, Yoomin hurriedly turned her head and smiled awkwardly.

“Oh, yes… university-“

She was about to say he was a university senior when Secretary Kwon’s Mother answered instead.

“Oh my. I told you. Jaejun recommended Yoomin as a tenant here.”

“Working makes me forget things, you know. Haha. You two must be dating then.”

A moment of silence fell.

Yoomin shifted in her seat, even lifting her hips as she waved her hands frantically in denial.

“Oh, no! He’s just a senior I knew from university!”

Only Yoomin, her face red as a beet as she panicked, seemed like she was from another world.

Everyone else was sitting there with completely calm expressions.

“That… senior… please say something.”

Yoomin said, looking at Jaejun.

Jaejun asked back in an indifferent voice.

“What?”

Then he looked at Kwon Secretary’s Father and gave him a business-like smile.

“It’s a similar relationship. That’s why I found her a house in the most trustworthy place.”

Secretary Kwon’s parents laughed heartily.

The only one who couldn’t laugh was Yoomin.

She had tried to hide her relationship with Jaejun, worried she might cause him trouble since these were people he knew.

But Jaejun was openly revealing it.

“Mother?”

Then Jaejun handed the wine he brought to Secretary Kwon’s Mother.

“I heard from Yongil that you’ve been wanting to try this wine for a while.”

“Oh my goodness. This precious thing… I told you not to spend money.”

Secretary Kwon’s Mother accepted the wine with a moved expression and playfully hit Jaejun’s forearm.

Jaejun smiled faintly at her cute appearance.

“You’re the mother of my closest friend, so I should give you something even more precious than this.”

“I don’t know who Jaejun takes after to be so sweet. Those boys are just. Ugh, let’s not even talk about it.”

Secretary Kwon and his brother looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

“Come on. Since Jaejun brought such precious wine, let’s all have a glass while we’re gathered like this.”

Then Kwon Secretary’s Father brought a wine opener and opened the wine.

Secretary Kwon’s Mother also immediately got up and took wine glasses from the cupboard, placing them in front of everyone.

“The birthday person should do the pouring.”

Then she took the wine bottle from her husband and went around the table, pouring wine into everyone’s glass.

Yoomin still felt awkward as she wasn’t used to such a warm atmosphere, but everyone except her seemed naturally accustomed to it.

“Mother, happy birthday!”

“Happy birthday, Mother.”

“Live long and prosper, our lady.”

Jaejun, Secretary Kwon, and Secretary Kwon’s brother all shouted congratulations simultaneously.

Everyone reached their arms toward the center of the table and clinked glasses.

Yoomin also followed along in the confusion.

Since everyone was drinking wine, Yoomin also hurriedly took a sip.

As soon as it entered her mouth, she was surprised by the rich flavor that spread intensely, so she blinked while holding it in her mouth without swallowing, when she felt someone’s gaze.

The moment she shifted her eyes in that direction, she met eyes with Jaejun, who was staring at her intensely as if he would devour her.

“Pfft.”

Flustered, Yoomin ended up choking and spitting wine into her palm while coughing.

Everyone was startled and got up from their seats, and Secretary Kwon’s Mother, who was sitting next to her, quickly handed her tissues.

“Oh my goodness. Yoomin, can’t you drink alcohol? This seems to have quite a bit of alcohol content. What should we do. You’ve ruined your clothes.”

What kind of embarrassment is this.

Yoomin forced a smile while pushing back her desire to cry.

“Haha. *Cough*, I’m, I’m fine.”

Her throat was still scratchy from the wine, so she coughed as she looked down.

There was a red stain on the expensive dress Jaejun had given her as a gift.

She looked up with a troubled expression to check Jaejun’s face.

Soon she could see him biting his lips tightly as if trying to hold back laughter.

…Did he just laugh?

Yoomin frowned and glared at him weakly, then looked at Secretary Kwon’s Mother who kept handing her tissues and stood up.

“I’m fine. But I think I need to change clothes and wash up. Would it be okay if I go upstairs first?”

“Oh, of course that’s fine. Such a pretty dress and it’s all ruined. I’m sorry for suggesting we drink wine.”

“No, it’s because I was careless. I’m sorry for ruining the atmosphere. Please continue drinking!”

Yoomin bowed her head toward Secretary Kwon’s family and quickly went out to the yard.

As soon as she climbed the stairs and entered the two-story house, she stood in front of the entrance mirror and examined the stain on her clothes.

“Ah. What should I do. Wine won’t come out easily either.”

It was especially heartbreaking because it was an ivory dress and something Jaejun had bought for her.

She immediately picked up her phone to look up how to remove wine stains from clothes.

Beep beep beep-.

She heard the sound of someone entering the entrance passcode.

Startled, Yoomin stepped back and asked.

“Who… is it?”

But instead of an answer, she heard the sound of finishing entering the numbers, then a beeping sound as the door opened.

“Is there anyone else I gave the passcode to besides me?”

It was Jaejun.

Yoomin dropped her startled shoulders and spoke in a reproachful tone.

“Ah, you scared me, Senior….”

At Yoomin’s grumbling, Jaejun quickly entered and closed the door.

“What’s there to be scared of. You knew I was coming.”

Jaejun closed the distance at a bewildering pace.

Yoomin opened her eyes wide and stepped back diagonally.

Like a magnet, he quickly closed the gap that had opened.

Yoomin stepped back another step, asking with her eyes why.

At the same time, she heard a rattling sound and felt a hard object behind her back.

When she turned her head slightly, it was the entrance shoe cabinet.

The moment Yoomin, who had nowhere left to retreat, raised her head, he came a little closer in front of her.

A precarious distance was formed where their abdomens almost touched, and she could feel his hot breath right above.

In the suddenly changed suggestive atmosphere, she tried to escape the spot in a fluster.

However, she couldn’t move, blocked by the shoe cabinet door behind and Jaejun in front.

“Hong Yoomin.”

Jaejun lightly touched the stain on the fabric below her collarbone with his index finger.

Even though he barely touched it, she felt a strange sensation as if her whole body was expanding like being electrocuted.

“My mood is quite strange.”

Yoomin narrowed her eyes and glanced up at him.

She was the one whose mood became strange because he dangerously closed the distance, so why was he saying his mood was strange.

“It seems like you’re getting along very well without me. Are you happy even without me?”

“It’s… only been two days since we last saw each other, isn’t that question too hasty?”

“Only two days? It’s been a whole two days.”

Yoomin’s eyes shook violently.

He stared intently into her confused eyes and whispered in a low voice.

“I’m feeling unpleasant because you seem to be doing well without looking for me for two days.”

He revealed his true feelings once again.

Yoomin took a deep breath and moved her lips.

“That’s… not true. I thought about you a lot too, senior. Even on the 1st floor, I was thinking about you until you came.”

“For that to be true, you don’t prioritize our appointments and you don’t do what I ask. You don’t call me oppa and you don’t act cute in texts either.”

“That’s not because I don’t want to do it on purpose… it’s because I’m embarrassed.”

“When are you going to restore my feelings for you if you keep worrying about being embarrassed?”

Yoomin bit her lips repeatedly.

How the hell was she supposed to do this damn restoration work.

She had tried acting cute with him like never before, and the other day she drank non-alcoholic drinks and was tricked by him into doing all sorts of lewd things.

What more did she need to keep doing to turn his heart around.

Frustration suddenly began to well up in her heart.

She felt hurt that he didn’t acknowledge her efforts when she was trying so hard.

Besides, how much time had even passed for him to act like this.

Yoomin exhaled strongly through her nose and asked.

“Haaah. Fine. What else do I need to do?”

“Oppa, please-“

That’s when it happened.

Cutting off Jaejun’s words, his phone vibrated from inside his jacket.
