Secretly Meeting With My Boss - Chapter 39.2

But people were never just rational beings. Not all relationships can be born from a clean start, either. If they ignored the emotions that have already arisen because the beginning is not ideal, it is clear that half of the countless romances in the world would not have even existed.

What if they had a rough start? The end of the relationship won’t be sex.

Regardless of the starting point or whatever, So-young became a special being to Taekyung, and he also hoped to be such a being to her. Furthermore, he wanted to move on to a stable and sustainable relationship with her. This mindset could not be on impulse.

So…

Taekyung thought.

If So-young doesn’t intend to date right away, he can try to make her feel that way. The fact that the problem she mentioned was nothing more than useless concerns could have been solved gradually after that.

Taekyung blinked, drooping carelessly on the bed.

He couldn’t think of a specific way to do it, but he didn’t think of giving up So-young like this anyway. If it didn’t work out, he was going to use my body at least. First of all, if they continue their relationship like that, he will see a path.

Taekyung’s eyes, who made such a decision, loosened. He felt a little clear in his head, which was ambiguous like fog.

[I like you.]

Taekyung’s confession also left a long impact on Soyoung. That night, she couldn’t sleep at all. It was because his voice kept ringing in her ears.

The confession received from the likable opponent left a sweeter sense than vaguely imagined. How tempting his voice was, it was clear that he would have held his hand if he had been careless a little.

The confession she received from a likable partner left her with a sweeter feeling than she had vaguely imagined. How seductive the voice was in her ears, it was clear that she would have accepted the offer if she hadn’t been vigilant.

But it won’t work.

Soyoung sighed deeply. What she said to Taekyung was actually just to persuade herself. It was clear that if she wasn’t in her mind, she would have been swept away by his confession.

But, I didn’t expect to hear that you like me.….

Whenever Taekyung acted sweet, Soyoung made various efforts not to be mistaken. He was a careful man, and she believed that the spontaneous affection he gave would not mean much.

However, it was unbelievable that the intimacy that Taekyung showed was actually a special foot of favor.

So-young thought that her relationship with Taekyung could never develop beyond a sex partner. Even if he treated So-young differently, she had no expectations for this relationship.

As such, Taekyung’s sincerity seemed like an unexpected gift to So-young. When he confirmed that the relationship meant more than a one-time play, she was uncontrollably excited. There was a shameless dissatisfaction that she didn’t dare to accept him.

It was a lie if she wasn’t greedy. However, So-young did not want to be hurt while coveting a person she didn’t deserve. The reason she revealed her inner thoughts to Tae-kyung was that she wanted to be honest with him who felt his sincerity.

Tae-kyung did not fully agree with So-young’s idea, but he acknowledged her decision as a rational person.

For the time being… It’ll be embarrassing to see my face, right?

So-young blinked, covered in a blanket. Perhaps, it was highly likely that Taekyung would feel awkward, and their relationship so far would no longer be valid. Thinking so, an indescribable regret and emptiness came.

She knew it was greed, but So-young didn’t want Taekyung to avoid her explicitly. She didn’t want the intimacy between the two to be erased as if it had never happened. It was quite a lingering regret she refused to confess.

While rationalizing her own decision, she is saddened and unable to calm her exhilaration, chewing on her regrets.

Soyoung stayed up all night without sleep. That’s how the dawn came.

The weekend went by without anything special.

So-young met her friends, went shopping after a long time, and went to Busan for a change in her room arrangement. She looked into her cell phone from time to time. She didn’t even have a person to wait for, but she kept doing it.

It was indeed a foolish foot of regret. Even though she threw away the opportunity with her own hands, So-young frequently recalled Taekyung. She repeatedly thought about his expression, gaze, and voice when he confessed in her imagination.

At that moment, she was excited as if she were dreaming. The end of the swaying and shaking emotions was a sense of shame toward oneself.

Monday came after the long weekend. So-young, who opened her eyes early in the morning, prepared for work earlier than usual instead of being late. The reason for that was obvious. So-young found herself funny, but she couldn’t help but have an unidentified expectation and impatience.

It was when So-young arrived at the company and got off the elevator. Just in time, Taekyung and the current deputy general manager were standing in the hallway. Her steps stopped as her heart started to pound.
