#9. I want to get married through love
2023.06.30.
“Ha.”
The first woman Lee Hyun had to meet was Kwak Seo-yoon, the daughter of a three-term National Assembly member. She was someone who had a really bad relationship with Ye-rin.
For Seo-yoon to be the number one woman Lee Hyun had to meet?
It had to be a really bad relationship.
“Why are you doing this to me these days…?”
Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at the photo of Seo-yoon smiling brightly.
Seo-yoon was the type of person who coveted and looked at anything that belonged to Ye-rin.
Despite the years they had spent together under the pretext of being friends, Seo-yoon didn’t seem to see Ye-rin as a friend at all. Seo
-yoon was the type of person who intentionally approached and seduced Ye-rin’s ex-boyfriends to make them break up.
At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but as the coincidences continued, I realized that Seo-yoon had done it on purpose, and since then I couldn’t look at Seo-yoon favorably.
Recently, Seo-yoon stole the man Ye-rin was seeing.
It wasn’t the first time, so I just laughed, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t hurt.
Looking at Seo-yoon’s face in the photo like this wasn’t very pleasant.
Thinking about Seo-yoon, who stole my man and would live happily with a great man like Lee Hyun, anger boiled inside Ye-rin.
Of course, she wanted to distance herself from Lee Hyun. That’s why she couldn’t reveal that she was that woman that night.
However, she didn’t want Lee Hyun and Seo-yoon to meet at the blind date.
Seo-yoon, who had been enjoying herself alone while stealing what was mine, was so annoying that she didn’t want to stand next to Lee Hyun even more.
Someone might point a finger at her, asking why she was mixing her personal feelings into such a public matter, but even an earthworm squirms when stepped on.
Thinking about all the days she had endured, she could only sigh.
Lee Hyun was a very good person, even though she hadn’t watched him for a few days.
A woman with many tricks like Seo-yoon didn’t suit such a great man.
‘I don’t want you and the chief to meet.’
As she was thinking that, the phone at Yerin’s desk rang.
“Yes, Chief.”
– Secretary Han, I have something to tell you, so come in.
Yerin knocked and entered Lee Hyun’s office.
“I heard you met Mrs. Yoon this afternoon.”
“Yes, I had dinner with your wife.”
“Your mother must have asked Secretary Han to set up a blind date for me.”
“That’s right.”
Lee Hyun placed one hand on the desk and rested his chin on his hand.
“I think you’ve seen the list of potential blind dates. What does Secretary Han think?”
The first thought that came to mind when he saw the list was this.
He didn’t want Lee Hyun to meet the woman who was mentioned first.
However, he couldn’t ruin Lee Hyun’s important blind date business because of his personal feelings.
Yerin had a faint smile on her face.
“Your wife seems to have selected some good women.”
“Secretary Han saw it that way.”
Lee Hyun tapped the desk with his index finger.
When Lee Hyun asked what women were mentioned as potential matchmakers for me, I hesitated to answer. Then
I heard something completely different.
“But I don’t want to go on blind dates.”
I didn’t think it would be easy to send Lee Hyun on blind dates.
That must be why Mrs. Yoon had called me aside and made
such a strong request. Still, I hadn’t expected Lee Hyun to be so strong, so Yerin’s face was slightly embarrassed.
“The chairman said he would give the successor position of the Jiseok Group to the person who gets married first.”
“I said I wouldn’t go on blind dates, I didn’t say I wouldn’t get married.”
Isn’t that what he said?
Yerin thought back carefully, wondering if there was something she had missed.
In the meantime, Lee Hyun raised his head and stared at Yerin’s face.
Yerin’s eyelids slightly lifted at the hot gaze on her face.
“I want to have a love marriage. Not a boring political marriage entangled in interests.”
She remembered what Mrs. Yoon had said.
“They say that if you first get along and get married for love, you can live incredibly happily.”
Yerin also somewhat agreed with that statement. She thought that
if you date and get married to someone who fits your heart, rather than meeting someone based on conditions and getting married for political reasons, wouldn’t Lee Hyun be a little happier?
Yerin raised the corners of her lips.
“Good idea.”
And then she cautiously added a question.
“Are you seeing someone right now?”
“No.”
Yerin couldn’t hide her embarrassment this time either.
The man who said he wanted to date and get married confidently said that he didn’t see any women.
“Then who do you mean you want to date?”
“You know that, Secretary Han.”
“… … .”
Yerin swallowed hard at the cold eyes that seemed to see right through her.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t get the message from Secretary Choi in time… … .”
“That woman, Secretary Han knows about it too.”
Those words sent shivers down her spine.
It was as if he was saying that Yerin was hiding everything.
Every time Lee Hyun mentioned ‘that woman,’ her heartbeat raced.
Yerin tried to keep her trembling pupils still and asked naturally.
“I know?”
“The woman I’m looking for right now.” The
‘woman’ Lee Hyun was talking about was none other than herself.
That’s why she couldn’t understand this situation even more.
“Are you saying that you want to date that woman?”
“Yes, I do.”
Lee Hyun had a face that seemed to be talking about a very simple matter, but Yerin had an extremely embarrassed expression on her face.
“Why?”
Yerin was really curious.
Why was she suddenly chosen as Lee Hyun’s love interest?
Lee Hyun tilted his head as if recalling that day.
“She was a woman I couldn’t forget.”
“… … .”
“I couldn’t forget her.”
He was really curious as to why.
Finally, Lee Hyun’s mouth slowly opened.
“Because she was the woman who took my first.”
“Kellogg.”
Yerin was so embarrassed that she coughed without realizing it, even though she wasn’t drinking anything.
“Secretary Han, are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m okay.”
Yerin tried to clear her throat.
The tips of her fingers were trembling because she had heard so many embarrassing stories.
She said it was the first time, for sure.
The first time.
How could that night be the first time for such a skilled man?
Yerin’s brown pupils shook rapidly.
No, there was something else surprising.
Just because she took my first, he was thinking of dating that woman.
Yerin felt dizzy, not knowing where to start pointing this out one by one. She took
a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth.
“Chief, I’m going to say something that might be presumptuous.”
Lee Hyun sat up, his upper body tilted forward as if curious.
“I heard that day, we agreed to spend the night together… ”
“There was no agreement.”
“Huh?”
What did that mean?
I clearly agreed to spend the night together and told Lee Hyun that I didn’t want to give him any information.
That was my intention for a one-night stand.
Lee Hyun looked even more dumbfounded.
“I’m saying that I never promised to do it for just one day.”
Yerin was speechless at his shameless and confident face. She
almost asked back like an idiot, “Huh?”
Yerin barely managed to hold back her spirit as she tried to persuade Lee Hyun.
“Ah, one-night stands, even if they don’t explicitly state it beforehand, it’s implicitly… … .”
“Secretary Han, how do you know so much?”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyun abruptly got up from his seat, circled the desk, and approached Yerin one step at a time.
“It’s because you talk as if you were there.”
“Me? No. I’ve never done that.”
“Really? Well, Secretary Han isn’t that woman either.”
Lee Hyun, who had already reached Yerin, stared at her with his hands deeply shoved into his suit pockets.
“So. Let’s continue with what we were talking about.”
“I heard from a friend… … .”
“Friend?”
“Yes. It’s definitely not that I enjoy one-night stands or that I do them frequently.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“Thank goodness, yes, fortunately.”
I don’t know what’s fortunate, but I decided to think of it as fortunate.
Lee Hyun waited patiently as if to tell her more.
“So I heard that after that day, it’s a bit uncomfortable to see the other person face to face again.”
At those words, Lee Hyun’s brow furrowed.
“Uncomfortable, huh?”
Lee Hyun asked while keeping his gaze fixed on Yerin.
“So Secretary Han was uncomfortable?”
A cold voice pierced Yerin’s ear.
“Huh?”
Yerin’s eyelashes fluttered.
“What? Why are you asking that? ”
Lee Hyun smirked at Yerin, who couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
“I’m sorry. I misspoke.”
Lee Hyun smiled cheerfully and corrected the question he had just asked.
“If it had been Secretary Han, would it have been uncomfortable? I was going to ask that.”
“Oh, yes.”
Yerin looked at Lee Hyun with her eyes filled with suspicion.
Lee Hyun smiled kindly as if he had no other intentions.
When she had heard that story earlier, her heart had really dropped to the floor.
The thought of Lee Hyun knowing something and saying something like that made her dizzy.
Fortunately, Lee Hyun seemed to have really asked the wrong question and apologized repeatedly afterward.
“If it were me, I would have probably done the same.”
Lee Hyun’s brow furrowed at Yerin’s honest answer.
“Oh, I shouldn’t have said that.”
But what could he do when it was true? It had been
such an ecstatic night, and even now, when he looked at Lee Hyun’s face, the memories of that time came back to him in detail. However, it was just a one-night stand, something to leave as a memory. It was out of the question to get involved in anything more personal. Lee Hyun nodded his head slightly. “I see.” For some reason, Lee Hyun seemed to be hurt. His eyes, usually filled with confidence, seemed to have a hint of regret. “I guess you won’t be looking for that woman anymore since I told you this much.” When that thought crossed her mind, Yerin praised herself for being honest. “I listened to Secretary Han’s opinion.” However, Yerin didn’t know Lee Hyun very well. “I’ll keep that in mind, but Secretary Han isn’t that woman. Right?” Lee Hyun’s dark eyes were fixed on Yerin. Feeling like she had to answer, Yerin nodded vigorously. “Yes, of course. I’m not that woman.” “That’s right. So I think it would be right to meet and ask her in person.” “Director, are you saying you’re going to keep looking for that woman?” “Yes. I intend to do so.” “Why… … .” “I think I said it. I want to date.” Somehow, it became a love story with a rise, development, and climax.
