#44. Warning, not a threat
2023.10.31.

“Is that what Kwak Seo-yoon said?”

“… … .”

He should have said no, but it hit the nail on the head, so Hee-jun opened his mouth wide in surprise.

“I guess that’s true. I was just wondering.”

Lee Hyun slowly rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger as if he was embarrassed.

“Go tell Kwak Seo-yoon

.” “What, what ?”

“It seems like Secretary Han Ye-rin and I are in a very serious relationship.”

“Huh?”

“Especially because I’m crazy about Ye-rin.”

“… … .”

“So it looks like there’s no place for you to get involved.”

It seemed like he had read her mind.

Lee Hyun took his eyes off Hee-jun, who was too flustered to say anything back.

“And you shouldn’t show up in front of my girlfriend anymore.”

“Are you threatening me?”

“Threats? I don’t do that kind of thing.”

“Then what are you doing now?”

“It’s some kind of warning.”

Lee Hyun tapped Hee Jun’s shoulder twice with one hand and then turned around.

Hee Jun screamed in the air after confirming that Lee Hyun had entered the villa where Ye Rin lived.

“Oh my gosh! Nothing is going to work out!”

He knew that she would be an ordinary opponent, but Lee Hyun was beyond his imagination.

“Kwak Seo Yoon, this woman, really!”

Seo Yoon knew very well that she was the type of person who would spew out lies as soon as she opened her mouth.

However, she was so happy to hear that Ye Rin had feelings for her that she couldn’t make a proper judgment, and that’s why she ended up being humiliated by Lee Hyun today.

But it didn’t matter.

She was the woman he once had, so what’s so hard about having her back?

It didn’t matter if Ye Rin didn’t have feelings for him anymore. I just

had to make her like me again.

The words Lee Hyun had said a moment ago, while giving him a cold look, passed by Hee Jun’s ears.

Hee Jun shook his head sharply as if he was trying to shake those words off.

“Do you think I would hesitate at such a warning?”

Heejun glanced at the entrance of the villa where Yerin and Lee Hyun had disappeared and gritted his teeth.

“Thank you for your hard work today.”

Lee Hyun went into the villa where Yerin lived and talked to someone on the phone.

“I would like you to continue to watch from afar and contact me immediately if you see anyone strange.”

-Yes, Chief. I will do that.

Lee Hyun took a short breath after hanging up the phone.

A few days ago, when he visited Yerin’s house.

He saw the bathroom light on in the house where no one was present.

Normally, he would have just ignored it, but when he saw Yerin tilt her head and think about it, Lee Hyun also thought something was strange.

And while he was talking to Yerin, he kept hearing rustling sounds outside and had a strange intuition.

He got out of the car and watched the black box footage and found someone wearing a hat pulled down low.

It was dark so the face wasn’t clearly visible, but he felt strangely uneasy, so he hired a personal bodyguard and assigned him to Yerin.

He told her to observe from afar so that she wouldn’t feel burdened, but to contact him immediately if anyone strange appeared.

And before he arrived, if there was a really urgent situation, he asked to appear as a passerby and watch over Yerin.

The planning team meeting today was originally going to be quite long.

Yerin had asked him to come early to have dinner together, but during the meeting, Lee Hyun received a call from his bodyguard saying that Yerin had met a man in front of her house, so he stormed out of the conference room. After

meeting Heejun in person and thinking about it carefully, he thought that it was the guy in his black box. His

body shape and gait were quite similar.

“I warned him today, so he probably won’t come for a while.”

He was quite concerned that Heejun, who had come to visit today, knew Yerin’s house.

He couldn’t always take responsibility for Yerin’s return home, so he was just worried.

However, he couldn’t rashly step forward and make Yerin feel uneasy, so he was very worried.

First, he planned to ask his personal bodyguard to be more careful about Yerin’s return home when he couldn’t leave work with her.

With that thought in mind, Lee Hyun climbed the stairs and arrived in front of the house where Yerin lived.

Knock-

knock, and Yerin’s voice was heard from inside.

“Is this Lee Hyun?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

Yerin slowly opened the door, recognizing the pleasant low-pitched voice.

Lee Hyun naturally walked into Yerin’s house, which he had visited several times and was now familiar with.

On the table was a lunch box from a Korean restaurant that he had personally packed and brought.

“I talked to that man and sent him back.”

“Thank you.”

“I didn’t do anything big.”

When Lee Hyun washed his hands and sat down, Yerin finally picked up her chopsticks.

“You must be hungry, so eat quickly.”

“Yes, I will eat well.”

Lee Hyun put down his chopsticks as he watched Yerin nibble on the side dishes.

“Does it not suit your taste?”

“No, it is delicious.”

Yerin took a sip of water and spoke carefully.

“I am telling you this in case you misunderstand.”

“Yes. Tell me.”

“That man earlier, I didn’t call him.”

She said this because she was worried that Lee Hyun might feel offended when she saw him with Heejun.

Even though it was a fake relationship, it was polite not to meet other people during that period.

Lee Hyun let out a small laugh, probably liking Yerin’s additional explanation.

“I know.”

“You know?”

Yerin looked curious, wondering how he knew that without saying anything.

“Han Yerin only smiled at me, not that guy.”

‘Was it?’

After thinking about it, it seemed like it was.

She was very flustered when she met Heejun, an unwelcome guest, and very happy when Lee Hyun suddenly appeared.

“Don’t worry, I won’t misunderstand, and just eat quickly.”

When Yerin smiled faintly, Lee Hyun followed her and put on a similar smile.

It was such a simple act.

Eating dinner together.

But because she was with Lee Hyun, it felt like a special time.

***

“Kwak Seo Yoon!!”

Heejun shouted as he entered the room of the club where Seo Yoon was drinking.

The young man who had been drinking with her frowned at Hee-jun who had suddenly appeared.

“Who are you, Noona?”

Seo-yoon slowly got up at the question of the man who had offered her his knee.

Seo-yoon’s face clearly showed annoyance.

“Hey, talk to me.”

Seo-yoon had no choice but to let out a deep sigh at Hee-jun’s request.

“Guys, can you step out for a moment?”

“Okay, Noona.”

The two men with faces as pretty as idols left the room.

As soon as the door slammed shut, Hee-jun slammed his fist on the table.

“Hey, Han Ye-rin still has feelings for me.”

“Yes.”

Seo-yoon made an indifferent face, asking why she was talking about something that had already ended.

“I went to see Han Ye-rin today, and she said she never said anything like that.”

Seo-yoon snorted at that story.

“Oppa, how can you not know women so well?”

“What?”

“That’s why you can’t do it with Chae-hyun.”

Even without that, she had already been intimidated in front of Lee Hyun once, so being compared to him hurt her pride even more.

“What are you talking about? I understand.”

“You didn’t come to see me today and say that you still have feelings for me? You didn’t say such useless things, did you?”

“… … .”

Seo-yoon snickered as if she was dumbfounded, looking at Hee-jun who didn’t answer.

“Are you crazy, really? What kind of woman would answer that question so quickly when you ask her that?”

Seo-yoon was so frustrated with Hee-jun ruining her easy work that she emptied the whiskey in her transparent glass.

“I need to approach her naturally again. So that Ye-rin would fall for your charm and open her heart and come to you. Do I have to tell her all this?”

Seo-yoon shook her head.

Hee-jun must have felt very frustrated too, because he turned the empty glass upside down and poured alcohol into it.

He drank it in one gulp and put it down with a thud, looking worried.

“But I think it’ll be quite difficult to try and get along with Han Ye-rin again.”

Huh- Looking at Hee-jun who let out a sigh, this time Seo-yoon got irritated.

“No, why?”

“Didn’t you say that Chief Chae-hyun showed up in front of Ye-rin’s house again today?”

Thinking back on just now, his blood boiled in his mouth.

Lee-hyun knew that the source of that ridiculous story about Ye-rin having feelings for him was Seo-yoon.

“They seem really serious… … .”

“Hahaha, oppa.”

Seo-yoon laughed, tilting her head back as if she had heard a funny story.

“So do you think those two will get married? In your opinion?”

Seo-yoon added one more word, seeing Hee-jun who couldn’t give an easy answer.

“How could that be? Their families are so different?”

Seo-yoon already smiled like a winner and rested her chin on one hand.

“Their fates are already set anyway. So oppa, you just have to take advantage of Ye-rin’s struggles.”

Seo-yoon shrugged her shoulders as if it wasn’t that simple.

“I think Ye-rin is going to do volunteer work this week?”

“Volunteering?”

“Uh. I go to a daycare center once a month. I’ll tell you where it is, so you can come with me.”

“Why would I go to a place like that?”

Seo-yoon frowned as if she was frustrated.

“Go and pretend to be a warm-hearted man. “ Yerin, she’s weak to that kind of thing.”

Seo-yoon smirked as she watched Hee-jun, who still couldn’t make up his mind about whether to go or not.

“Oppa, do you think you’ll ever be able to beat Chief Chae-hyun in life?”

“What?”

“Family background, education, assets, ability, looks. Is there anything you’re better than Chief Chae-hyun in?”

“Hey, are you saying that just to make me mad?”

“No?”

Seo-yoon slowly shook her head and pulled her upper body forward.

“You know very well, oppa. There’s nothing you’re better than Chief Chae-hyun in.” Hee-

jun blushed as he watched Seo-yoon say the right thing.

Seo-yoon whispered something in his ear.

“But what if you steal that man’s woman?”

“… … .”

“Then you’d win.”
