#13. The first man to come to this house
2023.07.14.

　
Yerin had no choice but to take Lee Hyun and climb the stairs to her house.

Since it was the very top house, Lee Hyun’s brow furrowed slightly as they climbed the stairs.

“There are a lot of stairs. Sorry.”

“It’s okay. It’s not Secretary Han’s fault.”

After climbing for a while, the two arrived at Yerin’s rooftop villa.

“My house is a bit too small.”

“It’s okay, so let’s open the door first, Secretary Han.”

Yerin pressed the door lock password and went inside first.

She was embarrassed to show Lee Hyun her cramped house, but there was nothing she could do.

“The bathroom is over here, just a moment.”

Yerin grabbed Lee Hyun’s sleeve as he was about to go inside. She

pressed her phone a few times and played a popular song that was popular these days.

“What is it?”

“My house isn’t very soundproof. The sound of the singing is so loud that you won’t be able to hear anything outside, so don’t worry about it and just go in.”

Lee Hyun chuckled as if

he was dumbfounded and bent down to go into the bathroom. I didn’t notice it when I was there, but when Lee Hyun stood there, the ceiling seemed a bit low.

The door clicked and locked.

Yerin went to the kitchen, which was the farthest part of the bathroom. Yerin felt uncomfortable

just staying there, so she unknowingly boiled water in the coffee pot.

Soon after, she heard the sound of Lee Hyun washing his hands as she turned on the faucet.

“I feel a bit strange.”

Just the fact that Lee Hyun was in her house made her feel strangely strange.

And naturally, memories of that night came to mind.

Lee Hyun’s voice, who had been wrapping his arms around her waist and whispering affectionately in her ear… …. As if to interrupt her impure imagination, the coffee pot made a sound as it boiled.

“ I’m crazy, I’m crazy. What do you want me to do if I do this too?” Since Lee Hyun couldn’t escape the aftermath of that night, I had to be okay. At that moment, a familiar low voice suddenly poured out from behind her. “Why are you like that, Secretary Han?” “Huh?” When did she start hearing this? Yerin’s brown eyes, filled with fear, trembled. “I thought you were mumbling to yourself.” “Oh, I was thinking about what to do tomorrow.” At Yerin’s words, the corners of Lee Hyun’s mouth went up. “You’re diligent, Secretary Han.” “Thank you.” Normally, it would have been right to send Lee Hyun out after he finished his work at this house. However, strangely, he didn’t want to do that. There’s something called Korean affection, and… … Lee Hyun looked at the steaming coffee pot behind Yerin with a puzzled look. “Why did you boil the water?” “Huh?” Yerin was startled and rambling. “It was just here, so I didn’t realize it… … .” Then, she covered her mouth with one hand and laughed, thinking that it was ridiculous. “Director, would you like to have a cup of tea before you go?” Lee Hyun’s eyes narrowed to the side at Yerin’s words. Yerin quickly added a comment and waved her hand. “I’m not trying to seduce the chief. I just had such a delicious dinner tonight, so that’s why.” “You can.” “Yes?” “No. But I’m not sure if I can drink the tea that a secretary gives me.” “Is it because of the promise you made to me before you came?” Lee Hyun nodded once, leaning against the refrigerator. It was a really ordinary little house, but it seemed like a photo shoot set because Lee Hyun was there. “I promised to go to the bathroom and leave, but I was wondering if it would be breaking my promise if I drink tea here.” “No, I suggested drinking tea first.” “Okay, then I’ll sit down and wait quietly.” Lee Hyun went to the table and pulled out a chair. Yerin busily opened the closet door. “Why did you put that there?” He didn’t have much time at home, and no one was coming to visit. He had recently realized that he had put the green tea bag on top while he was cleaning up the house. “Huh.” Yerin lifted her tucked leg and reached out. There was a box of green tea bags just within reach. “Just a little more… … .”

The problem was that she had applied too much force, thinking that she could just reach

out a little more. As if to tease Yerin, the box went in deeper.

“Oh, really.”

Yerin had no choice but to lift her toes a little more.

The box kept slipping out of her hand, even though it was close enough to touch.

That was when.

“… … .”

Yerin felt a warmth that was all too familiar behind her, so she turned her head.

And she was even more startled than before.

Lee Hyun’s face was so close.

Yerin unconsciously stared at his face as if she was possessed.

Her heart lost its rhythm and started pounding like crazy.

It was so obvious that she thought Lee Hyun might hear her heartbeat.

But she couldn’t take her eyes off Lee Hyun’s face.

The elaborately carved, statue-like face was enough to capture Yerin’s gaze.

The thick eyebrows, the dark eyes that couldn’t read her inner thoughts, the high nose, and even the sensual lips.

Yerin swallowed without realizing it. She

belatedly took her gaze away from Lee Hyun’s face and lowered her eyes.

It must have been hot in her own house because Lee Hyun had already taken off his tie. He

had also undone a couple of the top buttons of his shirt, so you could see his underwear.

‘He’s so attractive everywhere I look, it’s a big deal.’

What interrupted Yerin’s appreciation was Lee Hyun’s low voice next to her ear. “Are you

done appreciating?”

“Yes?”

“I don’t know how long I should wait.”

Only then did Yerin come to her senses and push Lee Hyun with both arms. In

an instant, his solid chest muscles touched Yerin’s hand.

Yerin’s face turned red in an instant.

Lee Hyun stepped back and bumped into the refrigerator.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Chief.”

Lee Hyun laughed to himself for a long time as if he found it amusing.

“I know you hate me a lot, but.”

“No, that’s not it.”

“But violence is a bit much.”

Lee Hyun handed the box to Yerin while rubbing her waist that had hit the refrigerator with one hand.

“I was just trying to help a secretary with pure intentions.”

“Yes, I know.”

Rather, it was she who was not pure.

Yerin turned around and put two green tea bags in the cup she had prepared. She

even poured hot water and moved to the table.

Embarrassed for no reason, she took a sip of the green tea and quickly pulled her lips away because it was too hot.

“Are you okay?”

“Ha. Yes, it’s really hot, so take your time, Chief.”

“Can I take that to mean that you want me to stay here a long time?”

“… … .”

“I’m joking, I’m joking.”

She was completely out of her mind because Lee Hyun was joking when he said something that sounded serious.

No, in fact, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

She was just dumbfounded at herself for being so conscious of Lee Hyun.

The green tea was so hot that Yerin’s cheeks turned red again.

This was really because the green tea was hot.

And the thought of Lee Hyun’s firm body that had touched her just a moment ago kept coming to mind, making her even more confused.

Lee Hyun asked to ease the tense atmosphere.

“It’s hard to drink tea at Secretary Han’s house.”

“That’s right. I’m sorry. I put the green tea bag up high

because no one comes to the house often.” Hearing that, the corners of Lee Hyun’s mouth went up in a curved line.

“Haven’t your previous boyfriend come over?”

“Yes, of course.”

Yerin put down her cup of green tea and added one more thing. She

couldn’t help but mention it because it was such an obvious question.

“How can you bring a man into your house? I’m not that kind of woman.”

This time, too, the corners of Lee Hyun’s mouth twitched against his will.

“So according to Secretary Han, I’m the first man to come to this house?”

“Ah… … .”

As she spoke, that was exactly what happened.

However, since she hadn’t intentionally invited him, Yerin quickly corrected herself.

“I didn’t invite him as a man. Strictly speaking, I saved a boss who was in a difficult situation.”

“So I’m the first male boss to come to this house?”

Lee Hyun really liked things that were certain.

Although he hadn’t been with him for very long, he had observed that he also preferred fact-checking.

Thinking that this was an extension of that, Yerin answered the question straight away.

“Strictly speaking, yes.”

“But can I bring a male boss into my house?”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyun put down the green tea cup he was holding and leaned forward.

“Secretary Han, isn’t that too defenseless?”

The look in Lee Hyun’s eyes as he said those words was so dizzying.

It was almost enough to make her fall.

Yerin tried hard to suppress her trembling voice and continued speaking.

“Come to think of it, it seems like that’s what happened. It’s because the chief pushed me too hard before I could make a proper decision.”

Lee Hyun continued to smile as he watched Yerin quietly blurting out everything she wanted to say.

“Let’s make an exception for me.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Why?”

Lee Hyun rested his chin on one hand.

Then he looked at Yerin with eyes that were even darker than before.

“We’re going to be dating soon.”

“… … .”

“So isn’t it a bit ambiguous to put me in the category of male bosses?”

“I haven’t decided yet.”

“Oh. I see.”

Lee Hyun languidly lifted his lips.

“Secretary Han, so let’s wrap up what we were talking about earlier.”

She had been talking to Lee Hyun so much that she couldn’t figure out what conclusion she was trying to draw.

And even if she did remember, the conclusion always went the way Lee Hyun wanted.

“Am I the first man to come to this house?”

“Yes.”

“I hope it will continue to be like that.”

Lee Hyun’s eyes were so serious as he spoke, that she almost nodded.

Yerin, barely holding onto her senses, asked back.

“Why?”

“Just.”

Lee Hyun got up from his seat and stood in front of Yerin.

Yerin raised her head for a long time before meeting Lee Hyun’s gaze.

Lee Hyun slightly bent his waist as if he were being considerate of Yerin.

No, that wasn’t consideration.

Because Lee Hyun came down, the distance between them became too narrow.

Yerin unconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt and stopped breathing.

“It’s strange. I just want to be Secretary Han’s first.”

It was a statement that could easily be misunderstood.

However, Lee Hyun continued speaking with unwavering eyes.

“Secretary Han, if you want, I’ll give you my first.”

“… … .”

“Is this how you feel when you’re in a relationship?”

Lee Hyun spoke as if he were really in a relationship.

“I don’t know much about it.”

And for some reason, he bent down even lower until the distance between them was less than 10 centimeters.

“So, Secretary Han, when are you going to give me an answer?”

It was at that moment when Lee Hyun’s breath was about to touch Yerin’s face.

Bang bang bang—

Someone banged on Yerin’s door so hard that it almost broke.
