#30. Jealousy Inducing
2023.09.12.
Lee Hyun smiled so brightly that it didn’t seem like he had said anything outrageous.
“Of course, Han Ye-rin’s feelings for me aren’t that much.”
Lee Hyun very kindly created a situation as if asking her to imagine.
“Me with some woman.”
“… … .”
“Just the two of us.”
Yerin slowly pursed her lips.
“In my office.”
Yerin’s eyelashes fluttered.
Of course, it was because of Lee Hyun’s words that created such a detailed situation, but there was another reason why Yerin was actually agitated.
It was because Lee Hyun kept closing the distance between them as he spoke.
He was holding a wine glass in one hand.
The tension rose as quickly as the distance between them decreased.
“If we were toasting like this, just the two of us.”
Yerin’s mood became mysterious.
Was it because Lee Hyun had come closer?
Or was it because she imagined Lee Hyun in that situation?
She didn’t know.
Unlike Yerin, Lee Hyun was very relaxed.
Slowly swirling the glass of wine, Lee Hyun continued speaking.
“I’m just curious about how you feel, Han Ye Rin.”
“… … .”
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Rin chose something else instead of answering. She
snatched the wine glass from Lee Hyun’s hand and drank it in one gulp. She
seemed to have a sore throat. She seemed thirsty and wanted to calm down the strange feeling.
“Oh.”
However, perhaps her mind was too quick.
More wine flowed out than entered Ye Rin’s mouth.
“Ah.”
Lee Hyun hurriedly pulled out a tissue and held it out, but most of the wine had already soaked Ye Rin’s blouse.
Why was she in such a hurry?
Ye Rin put down her empty wine glass and took the tissue from Lee Hyun.
Perhaps because there was quite a lot of wine, her blouse was very damp.
“Han Ye Rin, are you that angry?”
“Angry? I’m just a little thirsty.”
Lee Hyun kept smiling because Yerin, who was flustered in front of him,
was so cute. “The wine that Lee Hyun was holding looked so delicious.”
“Oh, man. It’s all my fault. Right?”
Lee Hyun was slyly confirming things like that
even though he knew everything. Yerin unconsciously glared at her and wiped her drenched blouse.
“Yeah. I got a little angry when I imagined that.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Lee Hyun looked really surprised.
Yerin slowly raised her head as she felt Lee Hyun’s gaze staring at her silently.
“What’s wrong?” “
Did I say something wrong again?”
Lee Hyun snickered and got up from his seat.
“Because I like it.”
“… … .”
“More importantly, Han Yerin.”
“Yes.”
Lee Hyun quickly turned his back and let out a gasp.
“Just a moment.”
Then he quickly disappeared somewhere.
“What is it?”
Yerin stuck her head out in the direction that Lee Hyun had disappeared and called out to him once.
“Lee Hyun?”
There was no answer.
What, where did you go, leaving me like this?
While thinking that, Yerin wiped her drenched blouse with a tissue.
The blouse was made of thin material, so even the sleeves she was wearing underneath seemed to be wet.
“Oh, why did I rush so much?”
However, it was already too late to regret.
Yerin waited quietly, thinking that when Lee Hyun came back, she would tell him that her clothes were wet and it was late, so she should go.
After a while,
Lee Hyun appeared with something in his hand.
“What is that?”
Lee Hyun held out the clothes he had brought without making eye contact with Yerin.
“I thought you might need it.”
“No, it’s okay.”
“I’m not okay. Take it.”
She couldn’t let Lee Hyun keep reaching out, so she took it.
She really didn’t need it. She was going home right now.
Yerin got up from the sofa and quickly spoke.
“I’m going to go now.”
Lee Hyun’s eyes narrowed to the side at those words.
“It would be better to change clothes before you go.”
Then Lee Hyun gestured to a room near the living room with his chin.
“Wear something comfortable and come out.”
“It’s okay… ….”
Just as she was about to say that,
Lee Hyun quickly walked away and went somewhere.
Yerin also felt uncomfortable with her damp blouse, so she changed places first.
The place Lee Hyun guided her to was the guest room.
After going inside and locking the door, Yerin slowly looked around the interior.
There was a large bed and a dressing table there.
Judging from the fact that it was completely unused, it seemed like no one had ever stayed there.
That made her even more curious.
“Is this a space you’re going to use later?”
Yerin tilted her head and quickly took off her wine-soaked blouse.
As expected, the blouse she was wearing inside was also soaking wet.
Lee Hyun gave her a black short-sleeved T-shirt.
It was also uncomfortable to go home in wet clothes, so Yerin took off her inner blouse and changed clothes.
The good scent from Lee Hyun came from her clothes.
“What kind of perfume are you using?”
How can such a good scent always be present?
While thinking about that.
Since she usually had a low alcohol tolerance, she drank only a small amount of wine earlier, but she was slightly tipsy.
“I have to go quickly.”
Yerin hurried her steps, thinking that she might make a fool of herself if she stayed here any longer.
Lee Hyun was sitting on the living room sofa waiting for Yerin.
“Lee Hyun, I’ll wash your clothes and bring them over.”
“Okay.”
When Yerin approached the sofa to grab her bag, Lee Hyun asked,
“Are you going to leave already?”
“Huh?”
“We haven’t even properly celebrated the start of our relationship yet.”
“I did… … .”
Yerin was about to say, “I did… … .”
Even Yerin’s empty glass was filled with wine.
“Wasn’t it a bit ambiguous to call it a congratulation?”
“… … .”
That was true.
“Han Yerin snatched my wine and poured it all over my clothes.”
“That was a mistake… … .”
“A mistake, right?”
“Huh?”
Lee Hyun, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, got up and strode towards Yerin.
Yerin swallowed hard and took a step back.
“I almost thought I was flirting.”
“No, I would never… .”
As she spoke, the situation was actually funny.
It could be seen as him pouring his wine on himself.
Yerin held back her laughter and explained the situation.
She couldn’t tell her honest feelings because she didn’t want to hear any more jealous gossip from Lee Hyun.
“The wine looked delicious.”
“Was it?
” “Yes.”
“How did it taste when you tried it?”
“It’s delicious. It’s my taste.” “
What
’s so special about it?” “It has a heavy body and a rich aroma.”
“That’s good. It suits your taste, Han Yerin.”
Lee Hyun leisurely walked to the sofa and sat down.
He then stared at the two glasses that were filled.
“Then, should I savor this delicious wine slowly?”
Yerin had no choice but to sit down.
Of course, she could have gone home, but she couldn’t ignore Lee Hyun, who was staring at her with anticipation.
“Okay. I’ll just finish the glass that’s been filled and leave.”
When Yerin sat down next to him, Lee Hyun slowly raised his glass.
“Thank you for accepting my offer, Han Yerin.”
“I’m also grateful for the good offer, Lee Hyun.”
Their glasses clinked in the air, making a clear sound.
Even though it was a fake relationship, it was a clear deal in terms of what each person wanted and what they were getting.
Yerin took a sip of wine.
Compared to the wine she usually drank, the body was so good, it was just what Yerin liked.
So, without realizing it, Yerin took a sip, and her eyelids kept slowly closing.
“Oh, I shouldn’t be drunk… …”
She tried to shake her head vigorously, but it was already too late.
Before she could even finish half of the wine Lee Hyun had filled in her glass, Yerin’s eyes slowly opened.
Unlike Yerin, who was drinking, Lee Hyun just looked at her and didn’t even touch the wine to his lips.
If Yerin said she was going to go home later, I had to take her there myself.
“Han Yerin, are you okay?”
“Yes!”
“I don’t think I’m okay at all.”
Yerin kept closing her eyes tightly and opening them repeatedly, perhaps because her eyelids were getting heavy.
But she answered really well and bravely.
Lee Hyun reached out to take the wine glass that Yerin was holding.
Yerin tightly clenched her fingers to keep the wine from being taken away, because the wine was really delicious. Then she shook her head.
“It’s mine.”
“I know. First, put it down here.”
Lee Hyun told her to put it down on the table, but Yerin tried her best to refuse.
“I told you to drink it.”
“I did, I did. Haa.”
Who knew someone could have such a low tolerance?
Lee Hyun regretted his past behavior of asking her to have a toast without even knowing it.
In the meantime, Yerin took another sip of wine.
“It’s delicious.”
She smiled brightly, her eyes closing like half moons, as if it really suited her taste.
“Ah.”
A sigh escaped Lee Hyun’s mouth.
“Isn’t it unfair that even a drunken look is this pretty?”
Lee Hyun slowly swiped his lower lip with his tongue as if he was embarrassed.
He had to stop her from drinking any more, but Yerin didn’t seem to want to give in.
If he tried to forcefully take it away, she would get hurt.
While he was wondering what to do
, Yerin tried to take another sip of wine.
“Wait a minute.”
Lee Hyun quickly blurted out.
“I think we should talk.”
“Talk?”
Yerin seemed interested, and fortunately, she put the wine glass down on the living room table.
‘Phew.’
He had to stop her from drinking as much as possible, but if he tried to forcefully take it away, Yerin might get hurt.
So he came up with the idea of having a very healthy conversation.
Lee Hyun first brought out a glass of water and placed it in front of Yerin.
He wanted to throw the wine glass away, but he couldn’t.
Whether Lee Hyun cleared the wine glass or not, Yerin was watching closely.
It was like a child who was worried that her candy would be stolen.
“Let’s talk about it and drink it again. What do you think?”
“Okay. You can’t clear it.”
“I won’t touch it.”
Yerin tilted her body on the sofa, pulling up the corners of her lips.
