[Eun-ha: Han-gyeol. I think you can co ho now. Be careful!]
As soon as I saw the ssage from Eun-ha, I started to worry.
Last night, I was too drunk to be concerned, but now... As I recalled Eun-ha’s expression, a chill ran down my spine.
I hurried my steps, anxious that sothing might have happened.
“Whoo...!”
Standing in front of the door, I took a deep breath and entered the passcode.
When the door opened and I stepped inside, I saw Eun-ha’s feet at the entrance.
Slowly, I raised my gaze from her toes to et her eyes.
“Han-gyeol, you’re back?!”
“Hmm-?”
I worried she might be looking at with cold eyes, but it was just the usual Eun-ha.
Seeing her greet with a bright smile, I felt sowhat relieved.
“Yeah, I’m back. Have you eaten, Eun-ha?”
“I was waiting to eat with you~”
“Did Choi Jiyoung go ho?”
“Yeah, yeah! We talked for a long ti after breakfast and decided to be friends!”
“Friends?”
“Yes! Friends! She said she wants to have lunch next ti and thank you too. Let’s go together.”
It seed like she had sent Choi Jiyoung ho. But there was sothing slightly different about Eun-ha’s deanor today.
She seed oddly excited, but why?
“Okay. Nothing happened, right?”
“Hey~ Do you think I would do sothing to Choi Jiyoung?”
“Ah, no. It’s not that-”
“I’ll get mad if you worry about other girls~”
Sothing felt off... or maybe it didn’t...
“Are you hungry? I made so soybean paste stew. Let’s eat and talk afterward~”
“No wonder the house slled so good when I ca in. I’ll go change my clothes.”
“Okay! Hurry, I want to see you~”
“Alright~”
I carefully closed the door to the bedroom where the wardrobe was.
As I changed my clothes, I quickly processed the situation in my mind.
This must be how a husband feels when his wife smiles and says they need to talk.
I guess Eun-ha might not like that I took care of a female colleague.
If I were in her shoes, would I be okay with it? Honestly, it wouldn’t feel good.
It would be strange to act like it didn’t matter. So what does this an for going forward?
“Han-gyeol~ Have you changed your clothes?”
“Oh-?! Yeah. I’m coming out now.”
She didn’t even give ti to think. After changing my clothes, I looked at the al prepared in the living room.
“Co on, eat up~ You didn’t have a proper breakfast, right?”
“Ah- I had an egg at the sauna.”
“Is that enough? Hurry and eat.”
“Alright.”
Eun-ha didn’t seem much different from usual.
Was I just being paranoid?
“Tasty?”
“Yeah. It tastes even better today~”
“That’s good. If you need more, just say so~”
She seed even more considerate than usual.
“Do you want to talk before eating?”
“Um... no. Let’s talk after we finish eating.”
“We can talk now if you want.”
“I still need to gather my thoughts. Let’s eat first, okay?”
“Alright.”
It was best to eat quickly and then talk to Eun-ha.
After we finished our al, we cleaned up together and sat on the sofa.
I couldn’t rember what we usually talked about after lunch.
“Han-gyeol.”
“Yeah? What’s up?”
“Can we talk now?”
“Sure. What’s on your mind?”
Eun-ha gently cupped my cheek and turned my head to face her. Looking straight into my eyes, she slowly began to speak her mind.
“First of all, what you did yesterday was the right thing.”
“Huh?”
“The girl could have been in danger, so you did well. I don’t bla you. In fact, I should comnd you. If sothing like that happens again, help out just like you did last night. But, it’s important that you don’t put yourself in danger. Understand? I want you to think of yourself first. Do you get what I’m saying?”
I nodded silently.
“Now, here’s the main point... I’m just being honest, so I want you to answer honestly too.”
“Okay. What is it?”
Eun-ha seed hesitant, as if she was struggling with what to say.
“Eun-ha, it’s alright. You can tell .”
This was my choice. I had to take responsibility.
“Well...!”
“Yeah?”
What was she trying to say?
“Before, I told you that I already feel loved enough and that you didn’t need to love more, right?”
“Yes, you did. But why bring that up?”
What was she trying to say?
“I’m taking it back!”
“Huh? What do you an?”
“Because of this incident, I realized sothing! I want you to love more! It’s not that I feel unloved, but I want you to be kinder to than to other girls, and I want you to pay more attention to ! I want more physical affection and for you to call my na more often! You don’t have to do it all the ti, but especially on days like yesterday when you’re kind to other girls, I want you to show more love! I hesitated to say this because I didn’t want to burden you... but I got really jealous this ti! Of course, what you did was right, but it still made uncomfortable. So, can you love more today?”
I blinked in surprise at Eun-ha’s words. Her face was flushed with embarrassnt.
She must have found it extrely embarrassing to ask for more love.
“You’re adorable...”
“What?!”
Honestly, I expected her to get angry, but instead, she cutely asked for more love.
Eun-ha, with her flushed cheeks and clear eyes looking up at , was incredibly adorable.
“I thought you’d be mad...”
“Well... I am a bit upset, but what you did was the right thing...!”
I gently placed my hand on Eun-ha’s head.
As I slowly stroked her hair, she quietly accepted my touch, snuggling closer to .
It was incredibly cute how she nestled against , pushing her head into my hand.
What’s this? She’s even cuter than usual today.
I wondered how she’d react if I stopped.
As I subtly withdrew my hand, Eun-ha quickly grabbed it.
“It’s not enough...! Do it more.”
“Are you a cat...?”
“Hurry, keep petting ...! Keep going until I say stop.”
“Why are you so cute today?”
“Wh-what! I’m allowed to be like this today! You took care of another girl, so it’s fair for to want more today!”
Her sulking expression was utterly endearing.
I lifted Eun-ha up and placed her on my lap.
I wanted to see her flushed face, but she kept turning her head away, trying to hide her face.
“Let see your face.”
“No. It’s embarrassing.”
“Co on, show . I want to see it.”
Eventually, Eun-ha showed her face.
“You’re about to burst...”
“You were teasing ! That’s it! No more face for you!”
She threw her arms around , pressing her face against my shoulder, and hugged tightly without letting go.
“Did you get jealous?”
“Of course I did...”
“Did Choi Jiyoung leave safely?”
“For now...”
For now?
“That sounds a bit ambiguous. You didn’t kill her, did you?”
“Why would I kill her?! We just talked, that’s all!”
“What did you talk about?”
eting my gaze, Eun-ha replied.
“Han-gyeol... she thinks you’re handso. Other girls in the departnt think so too! I wish you weren’t so handso. What if soone likes you? What if they try to seduce you? Answer quickly.”
“What? You’re still thinking about that? I don’t really-”
She interrupted , squirming on my lap.
“Ahhh-! You’re just oblivious to your own attractiveness! You’re handso! So, answer quickly! What will you do if another girl tries to seduce you? If you don’t answer, I’ll take matters into my own hands.”
“Take matters into your own hands? How?”
“It’s not sothing nice, so it’s a secret. Just answer quickly.”
“What if my answer doesn’t satisfy you?”
“If that happens, next ti I’ll lock you up and make you look at only for the rest of your life. I’m not joking. I’m serious.”
What?
“That’s scary...”
“You seduced first... You have to take responsibility. So, answer . What will you do?”
I smiled at Eun-ha, who kept pressing for an answer.
“Eun-ha, honestly, I only have eyes for you. You’re the prettiest, cutest, and most lovable person in the world. So don’t worry about it~ There’s no one more beautiful or cuter than you. I truly love only you. It’s sad that there’s no way to prove it.”
“Then hurry and love more. Co on- quick! Pet my head again and hug !”
Even Eun-ha being clingy and demanding more love was incredibly adorable.
“Should I give you a kiss too?”
“Only after you brush your teeth...!”
“What about doing more than just a kiss?”
“...Actually, that’s what I want the most.”
With those words, I lifted Eun-ha, still holding her tightly, off the sofa.
“Eek-! I just ate, so I must be heavy-! Put down quickly!”
She wriggled in my arms, concerned about her weight.
“Nope, you’re really light. Co on, let’s go shower.”
“Together...?”
“Yeah. Together. Is that okay?”
Finally, Eun-ha clung tightly to my shirt and replied.
“I like that...”
