40. Let's wait and see, Jeong-oh Lee
At noon, I wanted to cry.
I wanted to become as thin as a sheet of paper and escape through the crack under the office door.
"No, I... ... ."
I didn't hide on purpose to eavesdrop on the two people talking. Because of her pride, she didn't want to see Chae Eun-bi like this, but she couldn't be honest... ... .
"Director, since you almost made a mistake yesterday, can't we just slap this and move on...?" ... ."
I felt like if I could escape from here, I could shake off yesterday's commotion.
"I really didn't overhear this because I wanted to... ... ."
"I know."
Jiheon came around the sofa and knelt down in front of her. Her eye level was roughly right.
Noon did not want to talk to Jiheon, so he just kept his head down.
"I tried to create the same situation as Wednesday, but now that I think about it, it might have been better."
"... ... ."
"Because the truth is easier to see when you hide."
Noon tried to cover her ears because she was embarrassed to hear his voice, but stopped when she put her hands next to her ears.
I slowly raised my head and looked at Jiheon.
He was facing himself and smiling.
What did this person just say?
"... ... "You did that to tell me the truth?"
He nodded.
"why? why?"
"I'm worried that they're wrong."
"... ... ."
"I have no one to marry. yet."
Heart. calm down.
It would be fear, not excitement.
I felt dizzy when I saw the man who had been pouring out cold words and harsh words towards others just moments ago smile kindly at me.
"yes. yes. Okay... ... ."
Noon carefully got up from his seat. I couldn't be alone with this man anymore.
"You're saying that the reason you called me wasn't because of work, but because of a misunderstanding? Then can I just leave? "Because I cleared up the misunderstanding."
Little by little, Noon walked away from him at a wary pace and spoke. Finally, with a click, the door opened.
As soon as the door opened, she hurriedly left the office without Ji-heon having time to stop her. The sight of her was no different from last night in front of the pork cutlet restaurant.
Jiheon looked at the door that opened and closed from a distance.
It's good that last night's mistake was corrected. Other than that, it became unclear whether everything went well.
Even after properly informing Noon of the truth, I still felt uneasy as if I had not been able to resolve the misunderstanding.
It's really difficult. Lee Jeong-oh.
'What's going on? 'What's going on here?'
Noon kept muttering to himself as Jiheon chased him away.
I understood the situation later.
