Even though I knew that, I didn’t want to explain it… … just. Because I don’t want to say those things out of my mouth.
“Um, you like me? “Why me?”
Maybe it was the same with his feelings for her. It wasn’t that anyone was going to eat her, she just said she liked it, but she couldn’t even breathe properly and her chest was heaving. That was why she was grumpy, seeing her tearful eyes in disbelief.
If you don’t believe me, say it as many times as you want.
If this heart were visible, it would also be extremely childish. It is far from being as friendly as Yuhan, and it is not dazzlingly luxurious. Still, it was so sincere to me that I couldn’t say anything.
I like it.
What else should there be?
I didn’t mean to say it that way, but once I said it out loud, it became true. Even though she was angry at Hae-jun for thinking that he might exchange her for her money bag, what she actually wanted to say to her was different.
If she really felt that way… … . Wouldn’t I be better than that money? Take this time to calculate carefully.
“Chairman.”
“Please clean it up first. “I will look for it later.”
At Secretary Kang’s call, Lee Han stood up from his seat. It was almost time to finish my stay at the hospital, so I had to get out.
“Ha, just give me one day.”
Long, long day.
Those words never felt as real as they did today. Seeing Lee Han carrying his coat, Secretary Kang quickly followed him.
“Are you going to the hospital?”
“yes.”
“I guess it’s almost time to get off work. “Do you want to meet Professor Yoon?”
“If you see it, look at it. If you don’t, you don’t.”
Lee Han had an expressionless expression as he turned around while holding the button, looking somewhat annoyed. Regardless of my feelings, I wasn’t used to showing these feelings to someone yet. More than anything, I didn’t like myself for acting so urgently, as if I was being chased.
What is a person who has been in business since ancient times?
Perhaps because of the words I heard from my grandfather and ingrained into my body, I have been paying attention to every sigh and every fingertip. It’s not that I’m particularly good at following other people’s advice, but at least it’s not wrong.
No matter how urgent the feeling is, it will subside in an hour or two and it will be difficult to deal with it in many ways, and I hate losing money like that. Just yesterday at the hotel, reason was thrown away like that, so in the end, all that was left was Haejun’s surprised face.
“… … .”
Look at that. Isn’t it a loss?
To be honest, I never expected to be thrilled or like it right away. However, she just didn’t expect that she would look devastated, as if she had heard something she shouldn’t have heard.
“Then I’ll tell you to go down and prepare the car.”
“There is no need to rush.”
Lee Han’s hand fastening the last button finally found its speed. If only we had made that mess yesterday. I didn’t want to see Hae-joon’s face like that just today.
Please be quiet and relaxed, in an adult way.
That’s how I wanted to listen, talk, and ask. Just because you admit your feelings for someone doesn’t mean you’re going to cut them out. I was confident that I would wait patiently for her answer instead of pushing or fussing anymore.
Because it was an extremely rational relationship that he knew.
“yes. Mr. Hae-jun.”
Now, his voice as he answers Hae-joon’s calls has become much more peaceful. I called her calmly, as if she had just picked up the phone.
“I was just about to leave, but… … . what?”
However, the rapidly changing expression could not keep up with the calmness of the voice. When Secretary Kang turned to look at him at the door, Lee Han shifted the cell phone to his other hand.
“What do you mean?”
– sorry. I really don’t think it will work today.
“… … .”
Lee Han’s straight forehead was noticeably tense. No matter what this grumpy seal says, he is a human being who has pledged to protect reason.
“I’m sure you decided to respond by today.”
– i know. I’m not running away or avoiding it on purpose! Really.
“… … .”
Running away.
Lee Han, who hadn’t even thought about it, rubbed his eyes with one hand. The impact of hearing it directly from her mouth was even greater than if I had left her wondering if she could definitely do it. Lee Han’s sigh-like silence was broken by Hae Joon’s trembling voice on the other end of the phone.
– Actually, I came here to look for someone. But it took a little longer than I thought.
“Who on earth?”
– … … The patient who ran away before.
You really do things differently.
Hearing Hae-joon’s voice as if he was going to crawl, Lee-han sat down lightly on the desk. Secretary Kang quietly waved his hand as he seemed to be approaching.
“I think this is my first time seeing someone busier than me.”
– … … Mr. Lee Han.
“So where is it?
I dealt with him as calmly as possible, but the knuckles of my hands that were already touching the desk were turning white. Secretary Kang’s face turned white as he heard his extremely calm voice. The last time Lee Han made that kind of face, more than a dozen board members of Seomun Motors were completely replaced.
“I don’t know where there is a place in Korea that is so far away that I can’t return within today.”
– … … Baekwol too.
“… … .”
Ha, Lee Han lifted his hand, which was leaning on the desk, and instead of stroking his hair, he squeezed it. It looks like they’ve even conquered the island, as the hospital isn’t enough anymore. A long, empty laugh echoed from deep in my heart.
– I heard you went to a hospital in Incheon and wrote down the address here. I came in a hurry, but as I was chasing people and looking for people, I missed the last boat… … . They say the boat only goes by a few times a day.
“I guess so.”
Lee Han’s breathing gradually calmed down. Hae-joon’s eyes, hesitantly observing my thoughts, seemed to shine in the air.
“So when are you coming back?”
– When the boat floats!
“… … .”
Lee Han’s eyes closed as he heard Hae-joon’s courageous voice, as if he had been waiting. If Hae-joon, who energetically responds to such an obvious story, seems foolish, he doesn’t know what to call himself, who listens as if he’s about to be sucked into the phone.
“Is the boat floating?”
– sure. I’ve looked into everything, and they say that if rain doesn’t come, the boat will float tomorrow morning. Then, I can go to work tomorrow and there won’t be any damage to the hospital, so you don’t really have to worry about that.
“Do I look like I’m worried about that now?”
– ah… … .
“If you see it that way, I guess I have nothing more to say. “I understand. Please go in and rest.”
Lee Han ended the call with a business-like smile and his eyes sank deep to the floor. I don’t know what he was thinking, but those sunken eyes reminded me of the light of the sea that would never return. Secretary Kang, who now found it difficult to leave, hesitated and went back inside.
“Hey, Chairman.”
“… … .”
It’s definitely not about getting angry or showing anger. If you look at his voice when he hung up the phone just a moment ago, he seemed quite friendly for Lee Han. Nevertheless, the cold wind before the storm caused the onlookers to drift motionless.
“I told you to prepare the car below. “If you want to go home right from the hospital, wouldn’t it be better to have a car that you can drive yourself?”
“Do you only have a car?”
“… … yes? “Then what?”
To say that this is the only car, there are already well over ten cars of various types belonging to this family. It is no exaggeration to say that all kinds of luxury cars are prepared depending on the person, purpose, and purpose of meeting, but Lee Han’s eyes seemed to be far short of that even now.
“I don’t know exactly what kind of car you want, but if you tell me, I will do my best.”
“Aunt.”
“… … .”
“Where did you say you are now?”
Suddenly, Lee Han stood up and picked up his cell phone, looking for his aunt. Her momentary agony disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only that kind of quickness on her straight face.
“I don’t think I have any contact information on my phone.”
“Oh, that’s… … “Maybe you blocked it.”
Secretary Kang, who had been watching blankly, quickly picked up his cell phone. Seo Yi-han is the person who has been blocked more than the list saved on his phone.
It must have been quite an urgent business if he had such a firm personality that he completely blocked even the slightest courtesy text message, and he even forgot that he had blocked the number himself. Secretary Kang hurriedly released the block, and Lee Han immediately pressed the call button.
– uh… … hello? Oh my, Lee Han, have you finally unblocked me?
“Aunt.”
Even though my aunt was asking me what was going on, I didn’t even furrow my eyebrows. Rather, Hyojin, who was surprised by Lee Han’s reaction, automatically stopped laughing.
– What’s really going on? Lee Han wouldn’t have called to ask how you were doing for nothing, so do you really have something to say?
“yes. “Where are you now?”
-Where are you? I’m floating in the sea. It’s not like anyone is looking for me in Korea anyway. But why?
As we were talking, Hyojin felt something strange and stood up rustling. Even though there is a nice sound of waves crashing everywhere, I am even more curious about the sound of boiling breathing inside this receiver.
– Last time, I stole money from Korea Bank. You called me more than that, so the calculation is complete. Or, any other request… … . No. Who are you?
“… … .”
She muttered as she pointed things out one by one, then smiled lightly as if to just listen to what I said and forget about it.
– You said that to Lee Han before. Rather than ask me anything,
“I am sorry and thankful for all this time, and I plan to continue to do so in the future. “I will never forget the deep grace of my aunt who took care of a person like me as her nephew.”
– … … .
“I plan to meet you and talk to you for now.”
Lee Han walked down the stairs, holding the receiver where even the sound of his breathing had stopped. Even the humiliation and shame of apologizing for the first time in his life was so skillful that it could not be explained.
“How are you feeling?”
– … … who are you.
Lee Han offered his apology as a reward to the reception blocker who had everything in the world and couldn’t even make a transaction.
“Why don’t you turn the boat around and check right now?”
