It was getting hotter, signalling that winter was virtually over. Siwoo was ending up his work when he realized that he had been ready for the tip of the workday all day. It was unusual to really feel so expectant and keen, and he grudgingly admitted it was due to his date after work. Simply enthusiastic about it made his physique really feel heat.

“Mr. Jung, you appear actually joyful these days. Is one thing good occurring in your life?”

“… What?”

One of many designers on his staff was joking with Siwoo. She continued, “Your girlfriend should be treating you very effectively.”

“I appear to be I’m courting? In a relationship?”

“Didn’t you say you had been in a relationship? You mentioned that a very long time in the past. You mentioned you could have been in a longstanding relationship. However… you look a bit completely different recently for some purpose.”

Siwoo felt unusual. He thought he was performed with the loopy burning form of relationship in his early 20’s. He discovered that these sorts of relationships ended with him left within the ashes. Siwoo now needed a secure and comfy companion, but right here he was once more, beginning a brand new one with somebody like Jihoon. Siwoo knew he was being silly.

Then abruptly, he remembered Jihoon kissing every of his fingers final night time. Considering of it made his decrease physique burn.

“Oh, Mr. Jung, your face is popping crimson. Do you could have a chilly?”

“The workday is over, so simply go residence already!”

“Why are you appearing all shy?”

Siwoo stared on the designer for a very long time earlier than checking his face in a mirror. His cheeks had been positively crimson. As a result of he had a spherical face, folks thought he was a lot youthful than he actually was. Siwoo rubbed his face.

Simply then, his cellphone beeped. There was a message.

-Are you coming down?

Siwoo’s coronary heart started to beat quick. This was very dangerous. Siwoo fell in love simply, so he all the time made positive to watch out to not transfer too quick. However now, it appeared prefer it was too late. He had failed.

His mouth felt bitter, however he discovered himself checking his hair and hurriedly placing on his coat and his scarf. This was changing into ridiculous. The designer requested him, “Oh, you’re going residence already?”

“Workhour is over, so in fact I’m. What’s flawed with going residence on time?”

“Wow, you’re actually delicate at this time. Nicely, if you’re going, I’ll comply with you. Let’s take the elevator collectively.”

The designer acquired very near Siwoo, however he felt nothing. He by no means felt any form of curiosity in the direction of girls.

They walked in the direction of the elevator collectively. They labored on the second ground, so Siwoo may’ve taken the steps, however he hardly ever did. Siwoo wasn’t very match and he hated inefficiency.

The designer smiled and mentioned to Siwoo, “You’d suppose pink wouldn’t go well with many males, however it seems create on you, Mr. Jung.”

“Hmm, you’re being sexist, Designer Park.”

“By the way in which, there’s a actually enticing man who’s observing you within the foyer, Mr. Jung.”

Girls had been so fast at recognizing handsome males. The person she was referring to was standing behind them, but Designer Park noticed him so simply. Siwoo smirked and circled to examine and noticed the person.

It was Jihoon Kang.

Siwoo muttered, “He’s not that scorching.”

“I see that you simply nonetheless have very excessive requirements, Mr. Jung.”

“Why would you suppose he’s scorching?”

“I didn’t say he was scorching. I mentioned he was enticing.”

“… What?”

“It feels like YOU suppose he’s scorching, Mr. Jung.”

Designer Park laughed in amusement. Siwoo frowned, feeling uncomfortable, and it appeared like Jihoon observed it. Jihoon was leaning in opposition to a wall within the foyer, and he continued to stare at Siwoo. Jihoon was carrying a black lengthy coat and the way in which he checked out Siwoo appeared a bit impatient. He was clearly ready for Siwoo to get to him shortly.

Siwoo mentioned goodbye to Designer Park and hurriedly walked in the direction of Jihoon. He virtually ran and when he reached Jihoon, he held Siwoo’s shoulders and muttered, “Is it enjoyable to speak and giggle with that lady?”

“Hey, again off. And cease touching me. Persons are staring.”

Jihoon grabbed Siwoo’s waist, and Siwoo shortly slapped his fingers away. Ignoring the gesture, Jihoon pulled Siwoo’s ear playfully.

Siwoo exclaimed, “Hey! Cease!”

“I’m ensuring that lady over there sees this.”

“I didn’t conform to date you but.”

Jihoon shortly pulled again, and when Siwoo felt Jihoon’s fingers go away his physique, he felt sudden disappointment. Siwoo put his hand on his coronary heart, which was beating quick once more.

Jihoon requested, “Do you’re employed with that lady?”

“Cease being so impolite.”

“You’re so delicate.”

“How are we attending to wherever we’re going?”

“I introduced my automotive in fact. It’s parked on the parking zone in entrance of this constructing.”

“Are you now going to inform me the place we’re going?”

“Oh, haven’t I informed you but? It’s a restaurant close to right here in Sajick Dong. Have you ever heard of a spot known as Jooban?”

Siwoo’s coronary heart stopped abruptly. He questioned if he would fall and die proper now. What was Jihoon saying to him? Was this actually taking place?

Unaware of Siwoo’s shock, Jihoon continued, “I went there for the primary time final week. Woojin Choi launched the place to me, and…”

“W-wait a second.”

“… What’s flawed?”

Siwoo frowned and requested, “Did you simply say you went there for the primary time final week?”

Did Jihoon actually simply say he had by no means been to Jooban earlier than final week?

Jooban, which was Joowan’s restaurant?

However then…

Joowan Kim and Jihoon Kang… Had they by no means met earlier than? Was Siwoo mistaken about the entire thing?
