“Are you feeling unwell?”a0821e4926f8fe63

KyungHyun asked EunHa in the car as they left the office. He was still looking straight ahead as he asked her. For a moment, EunHa wasn’t sure if he was talking to her. She shook her head.552850c6e65128d9

KyungHyun turned his head 0de161599f and looked at her. He stretched 2d87526213 out his 62529bbeae large hand 1f40eecee6 and touched 924039f6a5 her face. Taken aback, EunHa 81720f2872 closed her eyes 7da003aafd and slightly pulled 4b8aef3e3b her head back.3504c9f955e5736a

KyungHyun put his elbow 95c236c0d7 on the car window 706d90ad4e and leaned his head ed009f5484 on his hand as 59d1d3302d he asked. Over two weeks had fde335c434 passed since EunHa had c17ebbd487 become his secretary at 3022c369c0 KeumOh. After the 7b0d04c090 meeting with db9cae0eee Kim MinSuk, 404308be93 EunHa continued a74d212df2 to follow 67048a5828 KyungHyun around d63e844680 as he b8f2a5f04c moved through 27a726f5dd his daily b868b52210 schedule.

KyungHyun ordered his d91bf671c1 driver to go 395f9d79c0 to the Korean df4b87c9c3 restaurant that he f745243cad frequented regularly. The driver turned the c0f416bf11 car around with ease. EunHa stared fb14c8ba07 outside as e6442851ae her mind 380d1dd932 began to 5637160997 fill with c57deaa72e thoughts.c4cd804fa8c00880

2 weeks 75cbbf776e had already d6b51704d3 passed since 43b41d5a1c she entered 88cbc32981 YongSung. Now, only one b6db69cc71 month was left 4124b081d1 before the business 3f4c415390 trip to Shenzhen, 0ab89885e1 China. Two days ago, 2889704488 General Manager Cha 96a6b9fb04 had checked her 17d951973e passport information. This meant that there 7f25700eda was a high possibility 7f65179449 that she was also ed1f7c5aa6 going to join them.84a90aef43cf766c

Because of this, EunHa was trying not to disturb Shin KyungHyun’s mood until then. EunHa’s mission was to go to Shenzhen and follow KyungHyun to the lab. There, she would gather data and pass it over to SungHo. SungHo would then take that data and produce an even better product from the pharmaceutical company he had bought.13d2024b1d55965b

Of course, there bd53802b22 was still a 41dfdd5bb4 huge possibility that a01c9fa34f foreign companies would 0327d0bb54 refuse to buy 48863af547 them due to d8d737788d the retribution they 1cb3d961a9 might receive from 01e70dd993 YongSung, so stealing ecc816b6b7 the new drug eb0c72280d samples was also 11d5b5c293 part of the a2cb55ffbe plan. EunHa tried to glean 562dcddcc9 any information about the b43646585c new medical company as 2b835097f9 she worked in KeumOh, b8201076be but that information was 21acf40eb0 kept strictly confidential even 13f2774394 within the company.ce2634dc3378541e

Other than the fact that the new medical company was located in Shenzhen, she didn’t know anything else. Having dinner with Shin KyungHyun might be a blessing or a curse. But as she wondered whether she should go through with it, the car stopped.5ddec935f50fdb41

EunHa walked carefully to avoid the raindrops, and KyungHyun matched her speed as they walked. Even though the golf umbrella that KyungHyun was holding wasn’t small by any means, it was still a tight fit due to his size. As EunHa tried to keep her distance from him, some rainwater wet her shoulder. A low voice drawled from above her head.22de0e77c952f816

KyungHyun held the liquor in his mouth as he stared at her. He couldn’t take his eyes off the woman who was sitting in front of him. Her posture was upright while her words were brazen. Maybe he wasa bit drunk.887a30cfe5555efe

She might be right. KyungHyun was 009b8cf0a2 hoping that 5e71fb3ace she would f914138267 just give 47f86a77c6 up on f684c8d24b her mission 47bbcc6d43 and leave 87360e92bc him right 055563c0d7 now. If she 5ed0b3a6fa stayed by 481115ffe2 his side, aad646fbe5 she would d9863c464a inevitably run b145025ad3 into some e66fb28035 danger, so 0b693b71eb it was bccd8f910d only right caeac03955 for her d292ae19ce to avoid f62c0b149c it while 6cbc909a27 she still d3911c22b0 could. That was also a 3b10c90767 reason why he never 88ec6c52a6 got close to a f4245562b8 woman.027f022e91cb2f42

While this was all 1121f92b35 true, for the past e236962f9b 2 weeks, he was f0d60f877b hesitant to let her f619ad0dd5 go. Why was that? Was it because ca93e7596c he had saved 4497fd5a21 her as a 4ac2e53f54 girl back then? Was there some e4dfe9126d kind of special 490c4f603e meaning behind this 6a94a43015 feeling? KyungHyun was never this 7b86b658b6 emotional, so he felt 320c27d146 a bit strange.fd047cbd1cbb9452

EunHa’s lips stretched into a smile. Her smiling face didn’t have any wrinkles, as if she were still a young child. This was why he was so curious about how she had grown up.5e1d1fdd345aa688

As EunHa raised her 64bbe45455 cup, KyungHyun quickly grabbed 7658725eb0 the liquor bottle and a43fa0134d filled it. The liquor gave off 639c5d4ef1 a fragrant aroma.732a85344838302b

“Isn’t it because I’m a magical woman…?”da2aeec8d0069d44

EunHa’s face contorted as she took a sip of liquor. The liquor burned her throat. She now realized that the liquor that KyungHyun had been drinking like water was an incredibly strong Chinese liquor.99774721e1f1c20a

“Cough!“b5e3862bedae7952

EunHa took the napkin b98af508c0 and wiped her eyes b532f54e4a which had filled with a606599bab tears. KyungHyun watched her, his 11c91835b5 elbow on the table 45d616b990 and his head in b006731708 his hand. He began 26a6dc200d to rub 1d869f8164 his face fcce7a448d with his be4917bc3e large hand.

After that, KyungHyun kept his mouth shut, so EunHa could only focus on eating for the rest of the meal. EunHa sipped the Omija Tea that was brought in for dessert. She felt as if her stomach was full to the brim. She couldn’t eat anymore.5c2fd2bae23530f1

It was no longer raining. After walking out to the back of the parking lot, they saw a quiet path that was too narrow for cars to access. Streetlights stood along the path, so it was brightly lit. After looking around and deciding that it wouldn’t be too dangerous, EunHa nodded. This was a chance to ease the tension between them. She had no reason to turn down this opportunity.cff3d4408ab3abf8

EunHa looked up at him and grinned. Even though she had only been observing him for a short amount of time, compared to all the other people she’d seen, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that KyungHyun was the person most suited for this kind of world.1e1a09b37a8ec49e

“As I tried to live…”9f64b533e0bdfd2a

EunHa slowly stopped 79cbf0e5dc walking. Small knats flew a137fc9f14 around the dim 37c5ed0686 light of the a929400d76 streetlamps. Maybe because 7a96336aad they were 905b8c43f9 in the f9a130c290 mountains, EunHa 482d452447 also heard dd1b5db58a the faint d78b32609a cry of 6433a815ff a bird.

KyungHyun came one step 2b9cff7206 closer to her. Nobody was around.

“… The mosquitos are out already.”e08916a5d94c95a5

The faint, high-pitched buzzing 96e57b0238 noise next to her e46c84a770 ear disappeared. KyungHyun brushed his 901e08067a hand, and a ab83429b5b small, black bug 3e7d2af163 fell out like c8fc99b705 dust.

Her eyes slowly closed. She knew that he would kiss her. His hand buried into her hair and firmly pulled her head towards his.
