#1. Found, My First Woman
2023.06.02.

“Secretary Han, did you find that woman?”

A pleasant low-pitched voice quietly echoed through the spacious office.

Yerin straightened her back and wore her usual business smile.

“I’m sorry. Not yet.”

Lee Hyun slowly rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger, as if he didn’t like Yerin’s answer.

That kind of reaction was understandable.

It had already been three months since Lee Hyun instructed Yerin to find ‘that woman.

’ ‘What can I do when I can’t find her? Sigh.’

Yerin let out a deep sigh and tried to smile.

Lee Hyun stared intently at Yerin’s face again today.

Whenever she stared at me so persistently, I would automatically think of that night and become nervous.

‘The director doesn’t really know something to do that, right?’

Even though he knew it wasn’t true, he felt his heart pounding in his chest as he looked at Lee Hyun’s strangely dark gaze.

The saying that a thief’s feet are numb was probably created for this kind of situation.

‘You shouldn’t show off. You should act calm.’

Sadly, the ‘woman’ that Lee Hyun was desperately looking for was Yerin.

Lee Hyun had been urging Yerin to find her at all costs, saying that he had fallen for her at first sight after spending an unforgettable night with her.

Fortunately, he had entrusted the job to me and not someone else, so he could buy time by not looking for ‘that woman.

’ The unfortunate thing was that if he couldn’t find ‘that woman,’ he would have to continue his ridiculous fake relationship with Lee Hyun.

Yerin was in a difficult situation because she was in a really difficult situation.

The only person who enjoyed this situation was Lee Hyun.

Yerin opened her mouth to make it seem like she was working hard.

“Director, do you have any clues about that woman that you didn’t tell me about?”

“Oh, there is one. That day, that woman scratched my body and ran away.”

Yerin’s lips parted slightly.

‘Did I scratch the chief’s body that day?’

Thinking about it, it seems like I did.

It seems like she couldn’t hold back the dizzying pleasure she felt for the first time and dug her nails long into his well-built back muscles.

Yerin clenched her fists to hide her long, well-trimmed nails.

She had no idea that Lee Hyun’s eyes were taking in every single one of Yerin’s actions.

“Oh… … Then you must have a scar?”

“Yes. Want to see it?”

Lee Hyun pulled his tie as if he was about to take off his shirt and show it to her.

“No!”

Yerin firmly stopped Lee Hyun’s actions.

“I don’t think I need to see it. It’s not like I can find a woman just by seeing that scar.”

Lee Hyun’s face slightly showed regret at her words.

“Yeah, if it’s a secretary, then so be it.” She

still can’t forget Lee Hyun’s perfect abs, which seemed like they took years to carve.

It wasn’t just his abs that were outstanding.

He had solid chest muscles and broad shoulders.

I remember everything, even the scent that came out when I was held in his arms.

And when I recalled that memory, my face naturally turned red.

No matter how hard I tried to maintain my composure, it wasn’t easy when I was standing in front of Lee Hyun.

I knew better than anyone that I would never meet a man better than Lee Hyun in my life.

That’s why I had to hide the fact that ‘that woman’ was me even more. Because

I wanted the person Lee Hyun met that day to remain as a great woman in his imagination.

That was the only way to keep Lee Hyun’s precious memories from being ruined.

Taking a short breath, Yerin went back to the beginning and began her report.

“Director, so if I tell you the conclusion… … .”

“Why the conclusion already? I want to hear the entire process in detail.”

Yerin just awkwardly smiled again.

There was only one thing she could say to Lee Hyun. She

was looking for him and would continue to search hard in the future.

It was a predetermined conclusion, and it meant that there was no way for that conclusion to change.

Gulp-

Yerin swallowed hard.

“This is the only thing that a secretary who is good at her job can’t solve.”

“That woman is so secretive.”

Lee Hyun smiled faintly and made a gentle face.

“You should have found her by any means necessary. Does Secretary Han like the fact that she’s dating me like this?”

Yerin turned around and looked at the tightly shut office door once more.

Although it was a place with good soundproofing, she lowered her voice even further, worried that the secretarial staff outside might have heard.

“Director, you promised not to mention our fake relationship within the company, right?”

“Oh, you did?”

Lee Hyun smiled, the corners of his lips rising in a sarcastic manner.

Oh, you did.

It was clear that he knew and was just teasing me.

Lee Hyun tilted his head and gave me a friendly look.

“Secretary Han, you don’t have any schedules this afternoon. How about we go on a date after work?”

Did Lee Hyun know that making an offer that no one could refuse with such a great face was the hardest part?

Yerin tried to hide her true feelings and put on the smile she always showed when dealing with business partners.

“Director, since we’re still at work, I’d like you to refrain from talking about our fake relationship as much as possible.”

“Oh. I’ll be careful.”

Lee Hyun raised his eyebrows lazily and looked Yerin’s face over.

Looking at her slightly stiff and slightly trembling lips, Lee Hyun let out a low, pleasant voice.

“Why do I keep thinking that Secretary Han is not looking for me on purpose?”

Lee Hyun’s black eyes landed on Yerin’s face.

She tensed up naturally at his cold eyes that could see through her inner feelings.

“There’s no way I would do that.”

“That’s right. If you find that woman quickly, our relationship will end. Right?”

“Yes.”

Yerin was smiling, but she wasn’t smiling.

Even if she brought that woman, the situation wouldn’t change much.

That woman was her.

“Secretary Han, do whatever you want.”

For some reason, Lee Hyun meekly backed away.

And soon, the reason why he had been talking so calmly was revealed.

“I don’t mind dating Secretary Han.”

“Chief, we’re not dating, we’re just pretending to be dating.”

Lee Hyun got up from his seat and approached Yerin using his long legs.

The closer he got, the faster Yerin’s heart beat.

“But Secretary Han, there’s something I didn’t tell you.”

“Huh?”

Lee Hyun took something shiny out of his suit jacket pocket.

And the moment she realized what it was,

Yerin bit her lip.

“Secretary Han, excuse me.”

Lee Hyun grabbed Yerin’s right hand and slowly lifted it up.

“Why are you shaking like this? If someone saw you, they’d think I was going to eat you.”

Yerin’s fingertips were trembling.

When she tried to pull her hand away from him, Lee Hyun was a little faster.

“It fits perfectly. It’s amazing.”

Lee Hyun tilted his head and looked at the ring that fit Yerin’s right index finger perfectly as if he was amazed.

“What are the odds of this happening?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Her voice was slightly trembling from nervousness.

Yerin glared at the ring that fit her index finger perfectly.

It was definitely mine.

When he joined Jiseok Electronics, Yerin’s mother Chansuk gave it to her as a gift.

And unfortunately, I lost that precious ring that night I spent with Lee Hyun.

I never dreamed that Lee Hyun would have it.

I thought I dropped it at the party.

Lee Hyun slowly stroked Yerin’s finger as if it was funny and spat out words.

“Secretary Han, I don’t know the size of women’s fingers very well, you know.”

“… … .”

“What are the chances that someone else’s ring would fit so perfectly?”

My spine felt chills.

I absolutely could not fall for Lee Hyun’s question that was trying to test me.

Yerin smiled and first took off the ring that was on my index finger.

“The chief said that before too. The woman you’re looking for seems to have a similar body type to mine.”

“Yes.”

“Then I think there’s a very high chance that their finger sizes are similar.”

Yerin took the ring off my index finger and placed it back on Lee Hyun’s palm.

It was the ring I had been looking for.

But I couldn’t ask for it.

If that were the case, it would be like admitting with my own feet that I was the one who spent a lot of time with Lee Hyun that night.

Lee Hyun took a step back with a regretful expression on his face.

“Oh. I see.”

Lee Hyun carefully wrapped the ring in cloth again and put it in his jacket pocket.

Yerin stared blankly , as if her ring had been snatched from her.

Lee Hyun snapped his fingers and made a sound.

“Secretary Han, there’s something I’ve been curious about.”

And he came closer, no, closer than the distance he had been away from.

“Director?”

Lee Hyun put one hand on Yerin’s waist to prevent her from running away and pulled her into his arms.

Yerin’s lips slightly parted at the fragrant body scent that suddenly hit her nose.

“Secretary Han. Can you take that earring off for a moment?”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyun pointed precisely at Yerin’s right ear.

A large pearl earring was dangling from it.

Yerin had intentionally worn flashy, large earrings

to cover up the mole on her right earlobe.

“Why are my earrings…?”

“Excuse me.”

Lee Hyun bent down and took the earring off Yerin’s ear.

The heavy feeling on her right ear disappeared, and soon Lee Hyun’s low, low voice came into her ear.

“I remember it clearly.”

“What… …?”

Lee Hyun touched Yerin’s earlobe and gave her a dizzying look.

Her faint smile was truly deadly.

“I think I found it.”

“… … .”

“The woman who tormented me every night.”

Yerin’s eyes widened significantly.

Lee Hyun bent down while taking the flustered Yerin in with his dark eyes.

The sight of her throat moving up and down was caught in Yerin’s eyes as if in slow motion.

Soon, Lee Hyun’s lips opened dizzyingly.

“Han Yerin. It’s you.”
