“I'm Not Your Destiny”

Chapter 37 - My time and you

In accordance with the wishes of Valery, from today, the two act like strangers from the moment they wake up, which is usually Valery first prepare all the needs Woojin now without Valery prepare when he sees Woojin who is neat in uniform her work makes Valery feel a little strange, then when she wants to go to work Valery chooses to wait for Woojin to leave with Han then he leaves by bus.

Even at the same office, both of them behave like a boss and assistant, sometimes Woojin also prefers to tell Han rather than Valery. Seeing this was not acceptable to Valery but also confused himself, he asked the man to behave like a stranger but now Valery was the one who felt guilty, not too rushed and selfish because of the pressure from around that made him take rash decisions like this.

From behind the window of Woojin's room, the woman could see if the man was trying to divert everything to the busyness lying on his office desk, the clock had indicated it was lunchtime but the man had not told Valery what he needed for lunch this time, without thinking Valery immediately left his office desk and walked over to Woojin's room.

“Nona Song!” call Lee who at that time immediately stopped Valery who just wanted to open the door of Woojin's office, with the file in his hand, Lee immediately approached Valery. 

“Yes, Mr Lee? Need anything?” valery asks, so she confines her intention to take Woojin to lunch together or asks what the man wants for his lunch.

“are you busy? I mean if you don't mind can you help me with my tax law for advertising?” 

“...” Valery was speechless, he was eager to say if he wanted to have lunch with Woojin but this was also a job and he could not refuse a request for help from someone “lah” 

“good, we can while eating lunch with” said Lee

He pulls Valery's hand, which takes the woman out of his office, to Woojin's private elevator, what Lee did triggered a new spark of gossip for Valery that will continue to last even longer.

“Mr Lee, I don't carry my wallet” Valery said, trying to keep pace with the man in front of her and trying to let go of her hands before more and more people see them like this.

“aku will pay for it” 

Before long they had entered the elevator that was only filled by the two of them, because private elevators were not arbitrary people could wear them and only certain people were allowed to wear them. The two fell silent as soon as the elevator continued walking carrying them all the way to the ground floor.

“but Mr Lee-”

“I won't ask you to reply Valery, we break even you help me and I reward him with lunch” 

Valery was silent, though, just this time there is a man who can make himself not struggling when Woojin always relented if he had argued with him but this time only the man who made himself silent without being able to answer, now both are in the cafe that is provided there.

Suddenly Valery thinks of Woojin who might at this time forget about his lunch, the woman also forgot to bring her phone how can she ask if the man needs something, let alone a cell phone, let alone a cell phone, his wallet he couldn't take it. Valery is grateful that the Cafe is not so much a visitor that he can avoid the cynical and sharp gaze of the employees who see it. 

“ini kopimu” says Lee 

He put everything he brought on the desk, he even ordered cookies and hamburgers for Valery.“thanks, can we go straight to work on it?”

“why?”

“I still have another job” Valery said, he actually lied if he had a lot of work he only thought about Woojin at the moment and made himself uncomfortable at all being close to Lee whom he had just met yesterday.

“bay”

Lee pulled out the paper from the map he was carrying, he started asking Valery a few questions, he even brought Valery closer to him to ask more freely and see Valery, he said, actually just learning this Lee can ask Woojin by email or ask the law department but like asking Valery has not been made up for him, I don't know what he meant by everything he did to Valery who suddenly approached the woman, which he clearly had his point hidden within him.

After being escorted back to his room Valery immediately headed to Woojin's room with coffee and cake that he had ordered, although it was not time for lunch but at least the man had to fill his stomach, right? 

“sorry, I was-”

“alah” said Woojin, his hands are still busy doodling papers in front of him, he is so serious on the breakthrough that hearing the slightest sound can interfere with his concentration.

“I hope you want to try it a little, I permi-”

Suddenly Valery's body is pulled by Woojin to sit in his chair, making them both sit in the same place, he hugged Valery so tightly that it was difficult for Valery to fight.

“I can't Valery, I can't act like a stranger, I don't even want you to ignore me” Woojin said, hugging her in front of him as if she was afraid of losing her, even from his trembling voice already explained that he did not like what was happening. 

“you even prefer to have lunch together with another man and not tell me at all”

“Woojin, you misunderstood me-”

“apa Valery?”

“no, release me!” 

Just then Woojin let go of the hug having heard what Valery said that made his heart so hurt, how could he have been so defensive of another man rather than himself.

Now both of them re-build a wall that will be difficult to pass or even can not be destroyed, if this problem arises because of many misunderstandings and other problems, isn't the only way to say what happened with each other open? But what they do instead is move away from each other and attach importance to all the egos that soar higher than the walls they make.

Because today is Friday which means tomorrow is the weekend then inevitably they have to finish their work longer in the office before two days off, once again Valery peeked through Woojin's window to see if the man would give a sign if he would return or if his job was done.

What Valery saw was Woojin who was still busy typing on the keyboard with eyes that focused on the monitor screen, today Valery's job isn't too much so he can come back early but seeing Woojin like that he hesitates to go home early. 

Finally Valery chose to wait for Woojin while reading the novel he always carries with him the title “why meet you” novel that is trending among Korean teenagers whose story so explains everything in the world the relationship is so complicated and the solution is quite good because all the subject matter is well explained, it is in the opinion of the readers who have bought it first.

The passage of time, until the afternoon has changed with the night. Woojin comes out with a suit in his hand, to his surprise Valery falls asleep at his desk with a book covered by his face, Woojin thought Valery was back in the afternoon so he decided to go home late at night but unexpectedly the woman was waiting for him to feel a little guilty.

He walked up to Valery while picking up the woman's belongings, stuffing them all into a bag and wearing them on his body. The first thing he's done in his entire life was carrying a woman's bag, then he put a suit on Valery's body to cover his face and before long he held Valery's body to immediately bring her back home.

During the ride to the elevator, Woojin wanted to stop time to appreciate every second that passed as she stared at Valery's tired face so close, what relationship makes the two become like this but it is strange to say they have feelings for each other but are unable to say or at least let those feelings just go.

“at least with you by my side, I still have a chance to see you like this, I hope fate won't separate us” Woojin said, he drove his car at a slightly low speed because he did not want to disturb let alone make Valery wake up, let tonight he became a man who secretly paid attention to the woman.

Note: anyone still waiting for Aster and also the dark side?
