#31. Lee Hyun’s fake injection
2023.09.15.

While Lee Hyun was wondering what topic to talk about, something came into his sight.

“Han Yerin, here.”

“Yes?”

Lee Hyun tapped his lips with his index finger.

He had told Yerin to wipe the wine off her lips with a tissue.

However, perhaps misunderstanding this, Yerin narrowed her eyes and smiled bashfully.

“Touch me?”

Yerin leaned forward and pressed the spot that Lee Hyun had just touched with his index finger.

Lee Hyun’s eyes widened significantly when Yerin’s fingers touched hers.

“No, I don’t want you to touch my lips.”

The lips that Yerin was pressing were hot and burning as if they were going to burst.

Lee Hyun quickly grabbed Yerin’s wrist.

Whoa.

Lee Hyun let out a hot breath and continued speaking softly.

“I said that there was wine on Ms. Han Ye-rin’s lips.”

“Ah.”

It seemed that Ye-rin was really drunk.

Ye-rin, who would normally have been wary of Lee Hyun, was the first to approach him.

Ye-rin closed her eyes like half moons and stepped back.

“I thought you were bragging about how attractive Lee Hyun’s lips were.”

Ye-rin wiped her lips with a tissue and put it in the trash can under the table.

Lee Hyun, who was watching her, asked in a low voice,

“Are you attractive?”

“Lee Hyun?”

“Yes.” For

a split second, there was a pause.

Whenever the two of them were together, Ye-rin was always the one who was nervous.

Today, it was the opposite.

Lee Hyun tried hard to hide his nervousness and waited for Ye-rin to speak.

“Before that, there’s something I want to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“Lee Hyun, do you have any shots?”

“A shot?”

“Yes.” If it was shots

, there were none.

She had a high tolerance to begin with and was the type of person who didn’t show it no matter how much she drank.

And since Lee Hyun didn’t drink a single sip of wine today, he obviously wouldn’t get drunk.

Yerin didn’t seem to notice because she was enjoying the wine alone.

“Han Yerin, why are you asking about my injections?”

“That’s a secret. First, if you tell me Lee Hyun’s injections, I’ll tell you too.”

Lee Hyun’s heart fluttered slightly at Yerin’s smile, who was smiling to herself again.

He thought that she wanted to keep this beautiful sight to herself.

After roughly understanding the flow of the conversation, he felt that he shouldn’t tell the truth that he didn’t have any injections.

So Lee Hyun felt guilty and made up an injection that didn’t exist.

“The next day, I don’t remember it well.”

“Really?”

“Yes. People often say that you lose your mind.”

Yerin clapped her hands, saying that it was a really good thing.

And she began to reveal the real reason she had asked.

“Lee Hyun, you’re really drunk right now, right?”

No, she wasn’t drunk at all.

But she felt like she had to pretend to be drunk.

“Yes. I think so.”

Oh, actually, she was drunk. He was completely absorbed in the charm of Yerin in front of him.

Even though alcohol detoxifies the liver over time and soothes the mind, there was no antidote to Yerin’s charm.

He would never be able to get out of it.

Yerin leaned forward as if he was going to tell a huge secret.

The T-shirt that Lee Hyun had given him was so big that it kept slipping down his shoulders.

Yerin pulled up her clothes neatly, covered her mouth with one hand, and whispered in Lee Hyun’s ear.

“I’m telling you this because Lee Hyun said he wouldn’t remember tomorrow.”

“… ….”

“Lee Hyun, you’re so attractive.”

“Is that so?”

Although he answered calmly, Lee Hyun’s heart was beating helplessly.

It was because of what Yerin had said, but it was even more embarrassing because of the hot air that was reaching his ears.

As he was about to get up,

Yerin grabbed Lee Hyun’s wrist and motioned for him to sit down again.

I wondered if he was getting back everything I had done to Yerin.

Was he trying to train me like this?

However, Yerin was just a drunk who was feeling good and had no intention of doing so.

Lee Hyun nodded as if telling her to try harder, barely calming down his heart that was pounding as if it was going to burst at any moment.

“Actually, I’m glad that I get to serve you, Mr. Lee Hyun.”

This was also the first time I heard this story.

“At first, I was a bit surprised and embarrassed, but… … .”

“But?”

“As we spent time together, he was very considerate.”

“And.”

“He seemed like a good person.”

“Are you saying he seemed like a good man?”

Yerin pondered for a moment at those words.

“Hmm.”

Her pondering continued for quite some time.

Eventually, her red lips opened.

“But is it true that Mr. Lee Hyun doesn’t remember anything?”

Even if it wasn’t true, she had to say yes unconditionally.

She was so curious about what Yerin would say next.

“Yes. By tomorrow, you won’t remember anything.”

Perhaps encouraged by those words, Yerin slowly ran her large hands down Lee Hyun’s hand and muttered to herself.

“He’s a great man, isn’t he?”

“… … .”

“Of course, I respect him as a boss.”

Yerin was next to her, and her heartbeat was beating so fast that I was afraid that she might be listening to her heartbeat.

“But your hands are really pretty.”

Yerin looked at Lee Hyun’s long fingers and grabbed his wrist.

Then, he let Lee Hyun’s hand float in the air and suddenly touched his own

. It was a small contact, but Lee Hyun felt dizzy for a moment.

This was because his whole body had become hot from Yerin’s hands that had been touching him since a while ago.

“Wow, did you know that we’re two fingers apart?”

“I see.”

　

　
Lee Hyun was frozen so much that anyone who saw him from the side would burst into laughter.

Like a broken robot.

Lee Hyun was always the one leading the conversation between the two, but today, the mood had completely shifted to Yerin.

All Lee Hyun could say was “Is that so?”, “I see?”, “So?”

After touching for a while, Yerin whispered quietly, wondering if she had another secret to tell.

“I actually did it in the elevator earlier.”

“Did you feel uncomfortable?”

“Yes?”

“I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable when I sneakily approached you and touched you.”

“No?”

Yerin shook her head.

Fortunately, she said no.

Lee Hyun suddenly felt scared as he watched Yerin’s two eyes fold like half moons.

It was clear that she was going to do something unexpected.

“I actually regretted it back then.”

“… … .”

“I wanted to hold it like this.”

And without warning, Yerin intertwined her fingers with Lee Hyun’s large fingers and held them tightly.

Their hands that were tightly connected were hot.

Why was this simple act of holding hands so nerve-racking after all that?

“Ah, this is a real secret. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyun nodded for now, although he didn’t know who he was supposed to keep it a secret from.

“You won’t remember tomorrow, right?”

“Of course. I won’t be able to do anything.”

“Phew, thank goodness.”

It was a moment when he really thought it was a good idea to improvise and reveal the incredible fake injection.

Yerin leaned back on the sofa again without letting go of Lee Hyun’s hand that she had been holding tightly.

“Haam.”

After yawning, he tried to lift his eyelids, which had gotten heavier than before. “

If you’re sleepy

, go to sleep.” “No, I should go home.”

“I’ll take you there, so close your eyes.”

“I won’t sleep. And I can go by myself.”

Yerin’s words became slower and slower, and soon all he could hear was her rasping breath.

Lee Hyun quickly got up from his seat and grabbed a blanket. He

covered Yerin’s lap with it and hugged her with both arms.

As he grabbed his car keys and headed down to the parking lot, his bad heart that didn’t want to take her home was fiercely fighting with his last remaining sense of reason.

The bad heart that asked why he had to bother taking her home raised its voice and insisted that Yerin sleep in the guest room. The faint

thread of reason that remained then made a logical suggestion, asking if he would take responsibility if Yerin woke up in the morning and panicked.

Yerin must have been very tired because she was sleeping soundly in Lee Hyun’s arms.

“I guess I’m more comfortable.”

That was fortunate, though.

He also began to worry that he might have lost his charm as a man, and that might be why he was sleeping so comfortably, leaving me alone.

Lee Hyun opened the passenger door and laid Yerin down gently.

I fastened my seatbelt and drove smoothly.

The road was quiet, so I was able to arrive at Yerin’s house without any traffic.

However, the real problem was starting now.

“Ms. Han Yerin.”

No matter how many times I called her name, there was no answer.

I came all the way here because I thought I had to take Yerin home. But

Yerin wouldn’t wake up for a while, which was a big problem.

For about ten minutes,

while Lee Hyun was worrying about what to do,

Yerin, who had been tossing and turning, slowly opened her eyelids.

“Huh?”

“Are you awake?”

“Yes.”

Yerin looked around and realized that she was in front of her house.

“Did I sleep long?”

“No. I just got here.”

“You must be tired, but thank you for taking me here.”

Yerin quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door.

Lee Hyun quickly got out of the driver’s seat and came to her side.

Yerin staggered as she stepped out of the car, perhaps because she had not yet gotten over her drunkenness.

“Ah… … .”

Lee Hyun quickly grabbed her waist and held her in his arms.

“Thank you.”

Yerin quickly got away from him and straightened her back.

“Then be careful.”

“Let’s go together.”

Lee Hyun walked in step with Yerin, adding as if there was no other meaning.

“Just in case you slip on the stairs.”

Yerin didn’t refuse and went up to the house with him. She

was still so hazy that it was hard to tell whether she was sleepy or drunk.

When they reached the rooftop, Yerin unlocked the door and turned to Lee Hyun.

“Be careful, Chief.”

“Huh.”

In the meantime, the title had changed to Chief.

He had come so close and pressed his lips against mine before running away.

When Lee Hyun was about to say something,

Yerin smiled and quickly went inside.

“By the way, I didn’t ask what Secretary Han’s injection was.” Even though

she was very drunk, I wondered if she would remember today.

Just now, seeing you avoid me like that and run away to your house, I think I remember everything.

I was standing on that vague borderline.

I was so excited for tomorrow.
