chapter 228
Episode 228
“…Would you like to go with me? “I made a reservation at a really delicious place.”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with her cheeks turning red.
“Who are you going with?”
Nam Do-yoon said.
“Who are you going with?”
“Uh. Are all the members who normally gather together? With Jiyoon, Radeon, Beccaria, and Nayun Kim?”
“…”
“Shall we go with them then?”
Ha-yeon Jeong was unable to answer as if she had become mute.
Nam Do-yoon looked at Jeong Ha-yeon.
The child who usually answered without hesitation couldn’t answer well and his speech became strange.
Nam Do-yoon walked closer to Jeong Ha-yeon.
Soon, I stood in front of her within close range.
Jeong Ha-yeon’s cheeks turned red, like blush.
“…Why… Why all of a sudden?”
Nam Do-yoon stared at Jeong Ha-yeon while standing so close.
Soon his hand began to extend towards Jeong Ha-yeon’s face.
Jeong Ha-yeon could not say anything and just stared at the frozen hand approaching her.
“Fuhu-“
Kim Min-seo chuckled when he saw that.
It was my first time seeing her like that.
Unlike her usual rough appearance, she had a completely girlish expression.
Soon Nam Do-yoon’s hand touched Jeong Ha-yeon’s forehead.
Then Nam Do-yoon tilted his head and said.
“You don’t look like you have a fever..”
Nam Do-yoon stared at Jeong Ha-yeon’s face.
Her face was so red, as if it would burst at any moment.
Still, there doesn’t seem to be much fever… What is it?
“You look a little bad today, so I think it would be better to go home and rest.”
Nam Do-yoon turned around and walked out of the classroom.
Jeong Ha-yeon froze and continued to look at his back.
“No! “Just wait a moment!”
Ha-yeon Jeong shouted.
However, Nam Do-yoon had already disappeared from her sight.
Kim Min-seo came next to Jeong Ha-yeon, who was squatting.
Currently, she had a gloomy expression.
“Clearly… Nam Do-yoon said that. They say that someone who speaks kindly is my ideal type. So.. I said that, but why.. Nam Do-yoon..”
Jeong Ha-yeon said, clenching her teeth.
Kim Min-seo gave Jeong Ha-yeon a pat on the shoulder.
“Are you okay. Don’t worry. Because it’s not a big deal.”
“No… But Nam Do-yoon refused to eat with me… We ate together well with Cha Ji-yoon… So… “
Ha-yeon Jeong said in a slightly tearful voice.
Minseo Kim shook his head.
“No. Hayeonah. That won’t be it..”
“Then..?”
“Hmm… So you definitely looked strange today, right?”
Minseo Kim said.
“What do you mean?”
“Hmm… So, it was very different from your usual appearance.”
“…”
“Usually he speaks very harshly to Nam Do-yoon, but he suddenly changes like that, so it’s hard to understand from Nam Do-yoon’s point of view.”
“…”
“Not only that, but you looked really bad today. I stutter a lot, and my cheeks are very red. “It’s to the point where I wonder if it hurts somewhere.”
“…”
“So, rather than saying that Nam Do-yoon rejected you because he doesn’t like you, um.. What should I say? Okay. “You looked so sick today that Nam Doyoon wanted you to rest.”
“Really..?”
Jeong Ha-yeon’s dark face suddenly became brighter.
“Of course! Um.. Right.”
Minseo Kim nodded and said.
To be honest, it seems like Nam Do-yoon just turned away because he doesn’t seem to have much interest in Jeong Ha-yeon right now…
At least for now… I think it would be better to just tell them what they want to hear.
Kim Min-seo looked at Jeong Ha-yeon.
If I were to see her doing that to this one word, I wouldn’t be able to say that.
“So next time, wouldn’t it be better to do it as usual?”
“That’s not possible..”
Jeong Ha-yeon shook her head and said.
“Why?”
“Nam Do-yoon’s ideal type is someone who speaks kindly.”
Ha-yeon Jeong said.
“No… Of course, I said that, but an ideal type is just an ideal type. “When you actually date people, there are countless cases where they are different.”
“No.. But anyway… Wouldn’t it be better to match it?”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with a bright smile.
“But, Hayeon, I think it would be worse.”
“Why?”
“Isn’t it too hard for Hayeon to do that to Nam Doyoon right now?”
“…”
“If you want to do something different from what you usually do, you will be very concerned about every word you say, and there will be restrictions, but to do that… “
“I have to do it.”
“Huh?”
“I heard Nam Doyoon likes that. Then you should do it.’
“But what does that mean?”
“Huh?”
“Hayeon, you’re feeling so weird because you’re wearing clothes that don’t fit.”
“Then you should try not to be weird.”
Jeong Ha-yeon nodded and said.
“No.. But even so, that is not the only problem.”
“That’s not the only problem?”
“Nam Do-yoon is thinking strangely about you right now.”
“…You think it’s strange?”
“Uh. Right now, Hayeon, you keep showing a different side to Nam Doyoon in front of Nam Doyoon.”
“…”
“If you do that, it might not be a big problem, but since you’re not used to the way you speak in front of Nam Doyoon, you keep stuttering… That must feel quite strange from Nam Do-yoon’s perspective.”
“…Then I have to try.”
“…No, that would be really hard. I’ve been doing it that way for almost a year, and to suddenly change that in an instant is really… Very difficult…”
“Of course you have to do that.”
“…Huh?”
“I thought it was natural to put in that much effort. “Well, it’s not that difficult.”
Jeong Ha-yeon said with a grin.
“Rather, I think it would be cheaper if I could win Nam Do-yoon’s favor by doing something like that.”
“…”
“I told you I would try. Then you should keep your word. It’s so obvious. “I never thought that I could win his heart without that.”

“…Whew.”
Cha Jiyoon took off her glasses.
There were numerous documents placed where the glasses were placed.
“…I finished today safely.”
Cha Ji-yoon picked up her cell phone and looked at the clock.
The time was already pointing to midnight.
“…Has the time already come to this?”
I worked so hard today that it was already midnight.
Cha Ji-yoon stood up.
For tomorrow, I have to go to bed and sleep well.
She left the company building and went to the parking lot.
“Let’s get on. “Boss.”
A secretary was waiting there.
Cha Ji-yoon got into the car and quietly looked out the window.
Normally, I would completely roll down the window and be completely still, but today for some reason she rolled down the window.
A cool breeze blows through the window.
“…Autumn is quickly coming to an end.”
Jiyoon Cha muttered.
“That’s right. I guess fall is already gone.”
The secretary answered mechanically.
“…I went through life without even knowing that fall was going, but now I feel a little bit regretful..”
Cha Ji-yoon seemed to be thinking deeply about something.
Then he said.
“…He’s my ideal type.”
Jiyoon Cha muttered.
“Yes?”
The secretary looked surprised at the answer that was so unexpected.
“…No. I’m just talking to myself. “Don’t worry too much.”
“Ah. Yes”
The secretary answered with a shy expression.
Normally, if it were her, she would have leaned back comfortably because she was tired.
Something was different today, as he looked out the window with a bitter expression.
“…If it’s your ideal type…”
Currently she was very tired.
I don’t even have the energy to lift a spoon right now because I’ve been working all day.
Even if she met someone, it felt like she would completely show off her bottom.
Normally, she wouldn’t contact anyone in this state.
If you show this condition and make a mistake in your words because you are weak or tired, it will come back to you.
A defenseless and weak side of myself that I really don’t want to show.
Ding-
Ding-
Ding-
She picked up her cell phone and sent a text message to someone.
However, her expression in the rearview mirror seemed full of smiles.
On the way home from work, the secretary could not hide his embarrassment when he saw her for the first time in his life.
However, perhaps because there was no reply to the text, she soon looked a little pouty.
Tiring-
A message sounded on her phone.
Soon she got angry and opened the message box.
However, he soon could not hide his disappointed expression.
The secretary tilted her head.
Is there something going on?
Tiring-
This time, a message tone sounded on her phone.
This time, she thought it was a strange text message and saw it without much expectation.
Suddenly her face became brightly colored.
Soon the corner of her mouth caught her ear.
It is impossible to see such colorful expressions.
It was especially impossible to see something like that on the way home from work.
“…Is there something going on?”
A person you can meet in a defenseless state.
A person who is okay with my weaknesses being caught.
Or rather, a person who will never say anything to anyone.
It was Nam Do-yoon.
“…Knight. Please turn the car this way.”
