Kim Hye Jin - pov
This morning was very calm, no birds chirping, no sunlight entering the room
Waking up from sleep of my own accord
I opened my eyes slowly and was immediately surprised to see seo jin who was looking at me with a slanted sleeping position and supported his head with his right hand to get higher
"For hye jin, is your sleep good?" Ask
I was silent not answering seo jin's question
"It looks like yes, but this time you sleep more quietly, not as usual"
"Your sleep style looks more graceful than usual" he said again
"Seo jin-ssi since when did you wake up?" Much
"That's it seems like I've been watching you all night, I'm afraid you're going to have another nightmare" she said
"Yesaa!* (hey) seo jin-ssi why are you doing that? How could you stay up all night?" I asked while getting up from a sitting position while seo jin was still in the same position
"Mmola* (well) I tried to go to sleep but couldn't close my eyes, and I decided to watch you sleep, and thank God you sleep well" she said.
I glanced at the small bedside table behind seo jin and saw the clock showing at 10 am to make my eyes open wider because I was surprised I woke up bad luck
"Yes.yyya..seo jin-ssi is the clock right?" I asked reassuringly while hitting seo jin's leg
Seo Jin looked back and saw the clock behind him
"Nne..*(yes) right" said seo jin casually.
"Haaah..I woke up late, why didn't you wake me up?! You have to go to work stupidly" I said frantically as I ruffled my hair
"Gwaenchana* (nothing) hye jin, I am not a schoolboy who has to go on time" he said casually and changed his position to sit
"But..tomorrow there will be an important meeting in rose real estate, you didn't prepare it?" Much
"I'm the one who has to prepare you hye jin for tomorrow's meeting" said seo jin
"You have to practice memorizing speeches and not be nervous when you do it in front of the top shareholders"
"This speech is important, you must stand out more than hajung so that the top shareholders are more confident in entrusting you to lead rose real estate" said seo jin
"If it's important why did you just tell me seo jin? Why did you take me to the playground?" Much
"How could I possibly teach you when your mood is in turmoil? I don't want to see you cry when I teach you a speech" said seo jin
"Yet your mental health is more important than the company, I don't want you to go crazy living your life as a hye jin if you're back to your real life" he said
"My life has been crazy since meeting deok mi, plus having to pretend to be him" I said
"Arasseo* (i understand) many others told me his life has turned crazy since meeting deok mi and moreover, you have to rotate your nature 180⁰ if you want to be deok mi, you have to turn it into deok mi, just don't get too deep into your role, I'm afraid you'll feel comfortable and it'll be your habit forever"
"Ani* (no) who says life is deok mi fun? Oppressing people at will and should be as he pleases, doing evil is not so pleasant aigoo" I said
Seo Jin smiled strangely again as I spoke like that
"Wae* (why)? Again you look at me with such a look, stop seo jin, you scare me with such an expression" I said
"Arasseo* (i understand) you're not so happy living a luxurious life because you can't be yourself, mianhae* (sorry) if I misjudged you"
"I thought you'd be happy living life as the son of a conglomerate, I think you will ask for money and other strange things to take advantage of me and collect wealth so that you can live a life of treasure after finishing living life as a deok mi" said seo jin at length
"Seo jin-ssi, you misjudged me, I do love money, love it very much, the thing I thought about was how I could earn a lot of money after graduating from college later"
"But I don't want to be a gloomy and evil rich man just for the sake of getting money, there are things that are more valuable than money and can't be obtained only with money"
"and that precious thing is your peace of heart and morals towards your fellow human beings" I told seo jin with a smile
Seo Jin smiled at me for a moment
"Aigoo.I didn't expect to hear this from a young girl your age" seo jin said, rubbing myself while stroking my hair with his right hand as if seo jin was like a grandfather talking to his grandson
"Oh.geumanhae!* (stop!) You look like an old man" I said while shaking seo jin's hand
While seo jin just laughed grimly seeing me annoyed because it managed to make me annoyed
***
At the dinner table, aunt min prepared our late breakfast and was almost nearing lunch hour or you could say aunt min was preparing a brunch menu for myself and seo jin
Starting with apple juice favorite deok noodles and continued with scramble eggs with beef, while seo jin chose apple pie for his brunch menu
"Have the master and mistress been discharged from the office so you both woke up late?" Ask aunt min suddenly
Whoa...
It is true what seo jin said, the curiosity of aunt min is so high that it ignores her politeness before her master
Seo Jin and I looked at each other when aunt min asked us about it
Seo Jin chewed on her food first before answering aunt min's question
"You don't know yet aunt min, my wife is sad to lose the fruit of our love" said seo jin who made me almost choke on hearing it
"Ohh..god! I don't know sir, it happened to madam deok mi, I'm so sorry madam" said aunt min as she lowered her head
I was speechless not to reply to aunt min and continued to eat
"M..gwaencahana* (not what) aunt min, last night, my wife and I went through a fun and exciting night to get the fruit of our love again, not so dear?" Seo jin asked
I put my cutlery down slowly and barely heard a sound
"Didn't every night we go through a night that's always exciting, baby?" I replied to seo jin and wanted to end this conversation immediately
"True as well.but last night was so amazing that it made it difficult to get up early." said seo jin.
"I'm done eating, are you done, baby?" My words cut off seo jin's talk
"Ahh...nne* (yes) a little more I will finish" said seo jin and immediately finished his apple pie without saying much more
After eating, seo jin and I headed to the car, but did not see the driver standing up to take us to the office
"Did the driver ohh have seo jin?" I asked in the car
"Ania* (no) driver oh is doing something else with detective choi" he said
"So you mean it when you talk at the cafe?" I asked who was curious
"Hhmm of course I'm serious, as long as the driver ohh with detective choi, I have to drive my own car, aisshh.this is very tiring" said seo jin complained.
Arriving at the edelwies office, seo jin invited me to his office room to practice speeches and learn to present materials for tomorrow's meeting so that deok mi could be elected as the leader of real estate
While heading to the seo jin room, I saw the employees who started gossiping as me and seo jin reached the office lobby
I started glancing at all the employees and wanted to find out what they were talking about
It seems like my attitude is strange so seo jin resuscitated me by hugging my hips with his left hand to make me look at him
As soon as seo jin stopped and looked at me with a smile, he removed my long hair from my shoulder and slipped it in my earlobe
Seo Jin brought her face to my ear
"Be like you don't want to know what they're talking about even though you're very curious" seo jin whispered to me as he waited for the elevator to arrive
Seo Jin kissed my temple to distract
"You know baby, every second I feel like kissing you" said seo jin deliberately
"You're free to kiss me anytime, baby" I said to reply to seo jin
"Certainly?!..."
"I'd love to kiss your red lips" said seo jin, who was teasing me
Aish...
You son of a bitch seo jin, deliberately teasing me and taking a chance in narrowness
Seo Jin brought her face closer to me who was sculpting, I looked at her without blinking, as if giving an implied message that she was very annoying
Seo Jin almost touched both my lips and....
"Ania* (no) I have to set a good example in front of my employees, not to make out in the office" said seo jin who had kept his face away from my face
I know seo jin deliberately talks like that just to tease me, but I know how the deok nature of mi who does not care about rules and bad talk from others about her
Besides, why is seo jin so happy to tease me? Does he like the look on my nervous face?
If I act like a real deok mi, will he stop teasing me
Lookit...
I felt annoyed to see the grim face of seo jin as if he felt victorious and managed to tease me
I exhaled and did something that no genie would ever expect
I pulled the seo jin tie and kissed the lips of seo jin who had been smiling infuriatingly at me
Now the situation turned around, seo jin who was silent because I had kissed his lips suddenly
"Do what you want to do without caring about others' judgments of you" I said and the elevator door opened
I got into the elevator and left seo jin who was still glued in front of the elevator door
"Darling..why are you silent? You don't want to go in?" I smiled as if nothing had happened
"Well, I'll go inside" said seo jin, who still could not believe what I was doing
While in the elevator, seo jin kept staring at my face, I who knew it, deliberately ignored him
I am still curious about the topic discussed by the seo jin employees in the lobby earlier, it looks very exciting when they talk
Ahhe...
Though I am very happy gossiping, unfortunately I can not follow gossip with them
For some reason, I feel like other people will quickly become familiar when talking about someone or hot issues that are circulating
Ahhh.shial.
I wonder what they're talking about
Before long the elevator door opened on the 2nd floor, the employees who were waiting for the elevator looked reluctant and reluctant to enter the elevator with me and seo jin
As usual, I had to express coldly like deok mi and not return their smiles
Seo Jin also did not return their smiles because he was busy staring at me
Seo jin is weird
I was surprised by him, he teased me but when I replied, he was silent in a thousand languages and looked at me instead
Fortunately I have started to get used to the gaze of seo jin, indeed I admit when I first met, the gaze of seo jin eyes made my heart not stop pounding
But as time goes by, I've gotten used to his gaze, let's just say seo jin has a strange hobby that likes to stare a long time at someone who makes himself uncomfortable
Until the elevator reaches the 7th floor, where the seo jin workspace is located
I immediately got out of the elevator, while seo jin was still silent standing in the elevator, I looked to the left and to the right making sure no one approached the elevator
"Haah..seo jin-ssi we have arrived, will you until when will you continue like that?" I asked coldly
"Oo...have we reached the 7th floor?" Ask back seo jin who made my mood ugly because of his nature
I did not answer seo jin's question and turned my body away leaving her with a cold expression
I walked alone towards the seo jin workspace and vaguely heard someone talking
".....really!! Ohh..no!!, that is bad news...."
Until I got to the door of the seo jin room and saw that catherine was calling someone at her desk
Catherine was surprised when she saw me arrive, as if she was looking at a ghost.
Catherine immediately turned off her phone call without saying another word
by slamming the handle of the phone he was holding, in a panic, Catherine immediately stood up to greet me nervously
"We.welcome mam" he said and immediately opened the door so that I could enter the seo jin workspace
'Suspicious.' I thought.
I immediately sat on the sofa and ignored Catherine as if she was reluctant to talk to him
Not long after seo jin came and greeted catherine who was still standing in front of me
"Hi.cath" said seo jin
"Yes.sir" replied catherine
Catherine was still standing in front of me across the table, as if she wanted to ask me something
"Ex.excuse me mam, Would you like to order a drink?" Ask me
I ignored Catherine and pretended to focus on staring at the fingernails of my long fingers
"Well, I'll call you if I want a drink" I told Catherine.
Mian* (sorry) catherine, I didn't mean to speak ill of you
"Ba.ba.ke madam" said catherine and immediately stepped back away from me.
"Ahh..catherine, I want a cup of warm coffee, prepare it for me" said seo jin when catherine was at the door
"Okay sir" said catherine
A few seconds as Catherine closed the door to the seo jin room, I began to relax my body and wiggle my cheeks left and right and gently massage my cheeks with my right hand
Haaaah......
Every time I pretend to be my deok, my facial muscles sometimes become cramped from having to put on a pouty face all day
I glanced at seo jin and he was looking at me again and then threw his face away when caught by me
I walked over to seo jin
"Yes.*(hey) seo jin-ssi stop acting like that to me" I said.
"You know, your gaze makes me uncomfortable, stop looking at me like a freak" I said to seo jin who looked flushed on his face.
"Mi.mianhae* (excuse me) for not making you comfortable" he said
I closed my eyes and breathed
"After all, stop teasing me like that, am I a joke to you?"
"I mean, you've been flirting with me a few times in front of people since I asked you to restrict physical contact in the contract"
"but.. You even deliberately teased me in front of the elevator like that, now, I'm going to ask you, are you going to do something like that, teasing me like a child if I were a real deok mi?" I asked seo jin
Seo Jin went silent as he turned his eyes around as if he was thinking
"It's impossible" he said
"Tuh.show! You only dare like that when you're with me"
"And when I act like deok mi, you're silent a thousand languages like this like a fool"
"Wae* (why) are you looking at me like that? I guess you're surprised because I kissed your lips first?"
"You think a hye jin can't do such a thing?"
"Wae wae's?* (why why) is your heart pounding because of this incident? Try here I feel your chest" I said at length and began to touch seo jin's shoulder,
"Yes..yya* (hey hey) what are you doing? Stop groping my body" seo jin ordered
I didn't touch seo jin's words and just touched him as I liked my hand and started laughing at seo jin's silly expression
"Alright I'll stop teasing you, stop it now, you're tickling me" said seo jin and I finally stopped touching seo jin
"Yes..*(hey) did your head hit? Why are you being aggressive like this?" Ask
"Aggressive say? Nne..*(yes) I'm going to be an aggressive woman so you stop teasing me" I said
"Well, I'll stop teasing you, it won't be exciting anymore if you don't blush in shame because of my puffiness" he said
"Why are you doing that seo jin thing?" Much
"Mianhae* (sorry) I enjoyed your face too much when nervous or embarrassed, it was because as long as I was with deok mi, I never saw that expression" said seo jin
"It's too creepy for me to tease" seo jin told me
"If it's creepy why you made a wife, stupid" I said
"That's.." seo jin explained.
"Ahh.forgetit! I already know the answer, the family life of the rich is strange" I said cutting seo jin sentences
"Now...tell me where do you keep the materials for my present tomorrow?" Much
"Disana.." said seo jin while pointing at his desk.
"The drawer is my flash in black, you can see it in the rose estate folder" said seo jin
Without speaking any more, I immediately went to the seo jin desk and started squatting to look for seo jin's black flash disk in the desk drawer
Before long someone knocked on the door of the seo jin den
"Master.this is your ordered coffee" said one woman.
Ahh.It turns out that catherine is bringing coffee to seo jin.
Not long after I heard a middle-aged man running and calling seo jin
"Master seo jin!!"
"Is this news true?"
"I've heard the news from the employees who are talking about it"
"Sir.I feel sad because your wife miscarried"
" but.you must feel relieved because you do not have to bother to check the DNA to make sure that the child in the womb mistress deok mi is really your child"
I purposely did not stand up from the crouching position, to hear the talk of the man who had just walked into the seo jin study
And it seemed that the man did not know I was behind the table crouching down and listening to the words that would be conveyed to seo jin
"Se.sekertaris han, you should get out immediately" said catherine to the man
Ahhe...
So that's secretary han
I didn't expect the secretary han to be happy gossiping as well...
"Why did you tell me to come out? I haven't finished talking to master seo jin" he said again
I didn't hear seo jin's voice to respond to secretary han's words
"It's okay sir, make sure this time you don't let go of madam deok mi to get your offspring"
"I heard lately madam deok mi has always been with you, and her nature has changed to be softer since she got pregnant, that's a good thing sir, I'm guessing madam deok mi has broken up with her mistress"
"Use this opportunity to get closer to madam deok mi, I will find the best restaurant for your romantic dinner together with the mistress"
"Haah, I hope the gentle nature of madam deok mi has not changed master" said secretary Han who seemed to have stopped talking.
"Well, secretary han, I'll wait for the best restaurant you think" I said as I stood up from a crouching position and emerged from behind the seo jin desk.
I held back my laughter who was looking at the surprised and frightened facial expression of secretary han
The middle-aged man was like a fish that was starting to run out of oxygen
Both of his lips opened and closed as if he wanted to speak but was too shocked by the sight he saw
Secretary Han looked at catherine as if he had an implied message 'why don't you tell me there's a deok mi mistress here' yahh.
"Yeobo* (honey) you seem to be too soft on your staff and let him talk badly about your wife" I told seo jin while rubbing seo jin's shoulder
"Ma.sorry my mistress" said secretary han while sitting in front of me and seo jin
"I'm sorry for the softness of my tongue!" he said again
Perhaps if this was the era of jeoson* (kingdom korea) secretary han had been beheaded for speaking disrespectfully to his employer
"Mmm.no no! You speak like that not because of your own opinion, but from the opinions of others and you agree with that opinion"
"Well, let's just say that I'm tired of the mistress and prefer to be closer to my husband" I said speaking to secretary Han in a crouching position
"It seems like your job is very casual secretary han, what if you help my husband to find the best restaurant in chicago? And catherine can help him" I smiled at secretary Han
I looked at the secretary han who started shaking as I tried to smile at him
Does my smile look like a witch to make her tremble like that
"Well, you can get out of this room and focus on work, don't be too busy gossiping at work, because this company doesn't pay you to gossip" I said as I stood up from a squatting position and turned my body back to them
"Ba..baik mistress" said secretary han and catherine with a compact.
"Pardon me sir" said secretary han while holding the foot of seo jin
I can see it from the reflection of the glass cupboard next to me
I still hold back the laughter of seeing a secretary han like that
I'm sorry secretary Han, at least look around you if you want to gossip about your boss
After the secretary han and catherine withdrew, they closed the door to the office of seo jin
I turned my body around and saw seo jin was massaging his forehead
"Wahh.park seo jin your employees are so amazing, so relaxed gossip your wife's ugliness in front of you"
"Do you doubt deok mi, seo jin if one day deok mi pregnant?" I asked seo jin
"How could I not doubt him, if deok mi often spend time with other men" said seo jin
"If something bad happens, I'll give her the divorce papers"
"How can I raise a child who is not my flesh and blood? It was too disgusting for me" said seo jin
"But still, you can't divulge your domestic affairs to the clerk" I said
"Mola* (either) I didn't have anyone to talk to and didn't expect the secretary han to say that in front of catherine" said seo jin
"The news has spread quickly, like a virus that can easily spread through the air" I said
"Hye jin, let's start percentage training" said seo jin and began training me for the meeting tomorrow
Seo Jin started sitting at his desk and taught me how to do good percentage in front of the shareholders
As usual, seo jin never messed around in training someone, no matter how much time he spent training me, until I missed dinner again
"........And all the bright futures are in the hands of Rose's real estate"
'Plok plok block'
"Good job hye jin, you can bring it well" said seo jin praising me
"Yes, it took 48 rehearsals to bring me this percentage material and you didn't let me drink it before an hour passed"
"You're a really cruel teacher" I said cynically
"Well..before you go to sleep you should be able to present again without looking at the material"
"Again??!!" I said, raising my head above the sign of giving up
****
The next morning me and seo jin woke up early to prepare to go to rose real estate
Today is an important day to choose the biggest candidate as the chief director of real estate rose and it's time to win the hearts of shareholders
Seo Jin had given me some advice before fighting for today
All the materials given by seo jin, I have memorized well and I am sure will not disappoint seo jin in this percentage
After breakfast, seo jin drove his car to the real estate company without the company of ohh driver
"Are you nervous hye jin?" Seo Jin asked in the middle of the trip
"A little bit.." I said.
"During breakfast and until now, I always heard you always exhale" said seo jin
"Loosen up.and relax your body, if you are tense, you can not concentrate and cause you difficulty breathing to make your brain lack of oxygen" said seo jin trying to calm me down.
"If this percentage is finished well, I will obey whatever you want hye jin" said seo jin
"Really!!" I said with a smile
"I want to spend my time with emma and.." I said disconnected.
"And what?" Seo jin asked
"Actually 2 days ago emma birthday, usually I always celebrate together"
"But this year I can't celebrate his birthday, can't even give him a gift because I don't work part time"
"At least I want to meet and treat emma at Uncle Patrick's shop"
"At least I can pay it later to uncle patrick if I already have money hahaha" I said
"You mean you're planning to owe Uncle Patrick a favor?" Seo jin asked
"That's just my good-natured uncle Patrick to me and emma, he allowed us to finish our meal when the shop was closed" he said
"Hye jin-aa, I promised you I'd grant you the wish you wanted"
"Stop being uncle patrick's parasite and pay for your food properly"
"I'll give you unlimited credit cards to have fun with emma"
"Buy him a gift and invite emma to eat at a fancy restaurant" seo jin told me
"Jinjja* (really)?!" My words don't believe
"Ahh..ania* (no) I don't want to trouble you" I told seo jin
"Bother? Mm.. absolutely not, now you are my responsibility all your safety and financial I am responsible"
"I've been a lot of trouble for you, hye jin, because of me you have to give up your free life and get into the dark circle of my life"
"Mian* (sorry) hye jin" said seo jin feeling guilty
"You don't blame yourself, you don't force me. I decided to come with you and..."
"And help a fellow human in need." said seo jin suddenly cutting my sentence.
"All right?!.." said seo jin again
I was silent looking at seo jin for a moment and smiled
"If it wasn't for your mother maybe you'd be reluctant to help me, I feel grateful to your mother who raised you to be a kind daughter" said seo jin
"Cih..geumanhae* (stop) talking nonsense like that" I said
"Ania* (no) it's not hye jin-aa bullshit, if you've returned to your life as you were, like you were, I'd like to stay at your house again and taste your mother's cooking that keeps my heart warm"
"Ahh. nne nne* (yes yes) you can taste it again" I said with a laugh to seo jin
"Jinjja-yo* (really) ahh you snagat kind-hearted hye jin, hahahaha..."
Haha.geumanhae* (stop) talking like that seo jin-ssi you're like a grandfather who likes to repeat the same sentence"
My conversation with seo jin during the trip made me forget the tension to percentage
But on the other hand someone's life is threatened because of today's meeting and it is not known by seo jin or myself
Seriate......
