Na-Yool cried for a very long time, bawling her coronary heart out. The clumsy hand, for which this case was clearly a primary, gently caressed her nape, reassuring her. Regardless of the awkwardness of the contact, Na-Yool appeared to have present in it essentially the most strong solace she may want for.

Does being good at something apply to issues like this? In actual fact, it was a thriller whether or not Si-Jin actually was a person of many skills, or if he was particular in her eyes no matter he did. As a result of Na-Yool had already misplaced her objectivity.

As if monopolizing his chest to calm herself down was not sufficient, the high-priced go well with was now moist with tears. When it all of the sudden struck her that it may not be costly however filthy costly, she broke away from Si-Jin.

“…I, I’m advantageous now.”

“I can’t belief your ‘advantageous’ anymore.” Si-Jin sharply interrupted whereas he checked out her with apprehensive eyes.

“…No pretending this time, I’m actually advantageous.”

“……”

“Due to you… Thanks. I don’t understand how you knew to return right here however…”

Though belatedly, she realized possibilities have been excessive that Hyung-Wook of the HR Group had opened his mouth, as gentle as a feather. In any case, he was the one that communicated with Si-Jin essentially the most transparently all through the corporate. Even Kim PD had no scruple calling him Si-Jin’s minion.

Was she within the mistaken for believing mentioned minion who confidently answered to belief him, when she requested to fastidiously hold her personal matter to himself?

At the moment, she was in a particularly troubled state, and had no power to spare being uncertain of Hyung-Wook or cooking up a believable clarification to her state of affairs. All she may do was evasively tone down the information, then inform him to maintain it secret.

Again then, she certainly was vastly distressed that Si-Jin would find out about this incident.

Whereas Na-Yool stared in a daze at his stained shirt, Si-Jin had slowly recovered his recurring indifference.

“It was a simple alternative. Coming right here.”

He spoke as if it was not even price an evidence. Which means, it was really easy for him that there was no solution to clarify it. It was not a really acceptable reply, however even Na-Yool didn’t discover it unusual for the time being.

It didn’t matter anymore. Now, he was in entrance of her. Her lawless and wretched world had returned to its peacefulness. The occasional convulsions of her palms had additionally utterly stopped, and her temper had stabilized to a fairly regular state. Her rationality, first undermined by Sang-Hoon then shook to the core by the detective, additionally returned to regular. Now that Na-Yool had completely ‘settle down’ – as continuously emphasised by each Sang-Hoon and the detective – she was lastly able to taking a choice.

She’s going to do her utmost to destroy Sang-Hoon’s life.

“By the way in which, I can’t consider this sensible mind of yours considered notifying Lee Hyung-Wook of your absence…”

“……”

“…However to not name me even as soon as.”

The query dropped simply as Na-Yool, inwardly picturing Sang-Hoon’s doomed future, was about to take a lighter step. Wasn’t the pure course of the occasions to get out of right here?

She appeared again at Si-Jin’s standing determine nonetheless nailed in place, unconsciously casting a puzzled look, however a peculiar chill in his voice made her eyes cloud up in agitation.

“You didn’t say a phrase to me, neither to ask for my assist, nor for me to return right here straight away.”

“That…”

“That, even now, I can’t consider it.”

“……”

“For actual, you’re such a tough nut to crack.”

Since when did being perplexed have the identical which means as getting indignant? Certainly. Si-Jin was indignant at her for some purpose ‒ although not apparent at first look, on account of his very calm composure. Nearly as if the one that, only a few minutes in the past, had gently wiped her tears whereas nervously apologizing for coming too late, had all of the sudden vanished.

Strictly talking it was Na-Yool’s fault that he was late. That’s, disregarding the truth that she initially didn’t even name for him. Subsequently, Kwon Si-Jin ought to have both gotten indignant or apologized, however not each.

Even going through such a reality, Na-Yool was stumped for phrases, misplaced at what to reply.

Intuitively, many issues got here to thoughts. However like earlier, all have been troublesome phrases to utter. They could sound too egocentric, too frank, or too harsh. Proper in entrance of her stood the skillful grasp of carrying down her affection through the years along with his phrases. But, when going through him, she may hardly say something.

“…I mustn’t have trusted Hyung-Wook.”

And thus all that would come out was Hyung-Wook’s title. Naturally, Si-Jin continued speaking as if her futile reply was not price his consideration.

“After I see you as of late, I really feel so rattling far behind.”

“……”

“Like an enormous idiot lagging behind.”

There was a time when Na-Yool used to have a look at Si-Jin and surprise the way it was wish to stay forward of most individuals. Someway, differently, these phrases can be extra acceptable popping out of her mouth than his.

So though this dialog considerably made sense, Na-Yool couldn’t perceive the place his so-called ‘large idiot’ feeling got here from. Particularly if Si-Jin was the one feeling this fashion. And particularly if she was the reason for it.

Si-Jin appeared to learn Na-Yool’s incomprehension on her face and saved speaking in a snarky tone. It sounded extra self-deprecating than a rebuke in the direction of Na-Yool.

“Simply have a look at me, proper right here, standing earlier than you. I’m so rattling ridiculous. You begged Hyung-Wook to not inform me a factor, however I compelled the phrases out of him and chased you all the way in which right here. Ignoring the truth that you intentionally excluded me and me alone—”

“—That’s not…”

“And right here I’m. You wished to maintain me at nighttime, however even when I’m conscious, I recklessly got here chasing after you as I please, like that bastard stalker.”

“……”

“But I’m standing right here, as if I used to be so totally different from him, providing my assist that you simply didn’t even ask for. Am I mistaken?”

Si-Jin requested with a bitter smile and began strolling. The sudden phrases as soon as once more left Na-Yool speechless, her mouth soundlessly open. Actually, it was such an astonishing retort! That she denied him, that he got here after her like a stalker…

Was there any face that would not go well with much less the phrase ‘stalking’ than his? It was not as a result of he was handsome, however as a result of the phrase merely didn’t match along with his ‘I lack for nothing on this world’ look. This heartless face, which might not look again twice after dropping a “I don’t such as you” as if it had waited for it.

Na-Yool couldn’t consider Si-Jin got here up with such a thought, and to listen to it come out of his mouth had struck her with huge open, blinking eyes. This man?? In the direction of me??

There’s a purpose she by no means anticipated it. It was as a result of it didn’t make sense.

Nonetheless, not saying something is commonly thought to be a silent settlement, and it was unclear how Na-Yool’s silence had been interpreted. She blankly adopted Si-Jin and spoke up, pressured by his sunken gaze.

“…You possibly can’t presumably be evaluating your self to him?”

“Finally, we’re not that totally different, are we.”

It was solely then that Na-Yool realized that Si-Jin didn’t know the small print of the case in any respect. He had guessed the tough define however had but to listen to a correct clarification of the incident. That being so, it was not shocking that he would bounce to such a conclusion.

Si-Jin was already in the midst of mocking his personal self anyway, so for that goal, to treat himself as the identical sort of human trash was nothing arduous to do. Nonetheless, if he had identified what Sang-Hoon actually tried to do, he actually wouldn’t have made this comparability. If solely he had identified that these burst lips have been the product of tried rape.

When she understood that Si-Jin was not conscious of all of it – and consequently, that there have been nonetheless extra untold truths – Na-Yool grew much more distressed.

“…That isn’t why I saved this incident from you. And neither did I’ve such a grand purpose to…”

“Then why?”

“……”

“Why didn’t you inform me?”

“…It’s mortifying. That’s why.”

Though it was a half-serious purpose, Si-Jin burst into empty laughter out of a deadpan expression.

“I’m the bastard who acquired caught by you jerking off in his workplace.”

“……”

“What do you need to really feel ashamed of in entrance of me?”
