I Cant Catch It - Chapter 32. Yes. you are pretty. really.
Law firm Yulkyu conference room. After the part meeting, Hyun-ji didn’t get up for some reason, so Hee-wook sat still and waited. The more I got to know the locals, the more fortunate they were. In fact, Hee-wook only had information he heard from people around him, but he did not know much about the local area. The fact that he returned to Korea after graduating from a prestigious American university and went through law school to become a lawyer, the fact that his father is a businessman, and the fact that he lives alone in a luxury villa in Cheongdam-dong were just the facts. Now that she has to prepare for marriage, she was about to ask, but her mother, unable to hold back her curiosity, jumped the ball. Hyun-ji visited Hee-wook’s house on Saturday and told him about his parents and the size of their family. I didn’t know that the local father was doing business in Dubai. Hyun-ji said that his father’s work had nothing to do with him, and assured him that he would not help his father’s business in the future, but Hee-wook’s position was different. It seemed to him that as long as he looked good to his father-in-law, he might one day expect a law firm bearing the couple’s name. After all of his co-workers left the conference room and he was alone with Hyun-ji, Hee-wook moved and approached Hyun-ji. “What are you doing?” He asked Hyun-ji, who was only looking at the screen of his phone without giving him a glance. “Brother, are you preparing well for the marriage proposal?” In fact, the proposal was the problem. Since the locals have nailed the proposal, I have to make a proposal that satisfies the other person’s expectations, but I couldn’t come up with an idea. Han So-eun liked it even if I just put a ring on it. Hee-wook, who thought of So-eun for a moment, replied while hiding his nervousness. “Ask something like that. My brother will know everything and prepare it. You just have to look forward to it.”
“huh. I’ll look forward to it. And, I have this.”
The local showed the cell phone screen. It was a picture of a ring from a high-end brand Hee-wook was unfamiliar with. “What is this?” “Use this for your proposal ring. got it?” “Oh, do you want to get your wedding ring in advance?” “no. There is a difference between a proposal ring and a wedding ring. I have no sense.”
A gorgeous ring that looks incredibly expensive at first glance. Hee-wook’s eyebrows narrowed as he looked into the screen. I didn’t entrust you with the ring, so you want me to give you this right away? I was stunned. Hyun-ji kindly sent a picture of the ring to Hee-wook’s cell phone. “It’s been a dream since a long time ago to receive a proposal with this. Will you grant my wish, brother?” Hee-wook was able to better check the information about his ring on his phone screen. Hee-wook’s eyes widened when he checked the price of the ring. There is a ring worth 50 million won in the world? It was a ring that was more expensive than his own foreign car he bought used. His hands trembled at the price of a ring he had never seen before. The locals were also nasty. Knowing how much my salary is. Hee-wook was confused about the local demand, but he smiled hard thinking about the future to be rewarded. * A few hours ago, on the way to leave the company due to an outside schedule, Tae-Jun looked at So-Eun’s place as a habit and saw So-Eun looking exhausted and wiping her sweat. He turned to his feet and climbed up to his support team, asking the former employee to return the ice cream and handing him his personal card. The day Soeun was drunk, she remembered the name of the ice cream and asked to order a specific brand. Around 3:00 PM, he received a report from support that ice cream had arrived. He was outside and couldn’t directly confirm this. Throughout the meeting, Taejun thought of Soeun’s face while eating ice cream. He ate a lot of udon and seolleongtang, so what about eating ice cream? Is it because it is a hot day, a day when the temperature is boiling? Or is it the aftereffects of tossing and turning all night? Han So-eun seemed to have a disease that made her eyes blur when she thought about it. Returning to the company after completing his outside schedule, Taejun went straight to the mobile service team. It was the time when the reception desk was over, so he looked around for a while because So-eun was not there. While Taejun was looking around, the head of the mobile service team approached. “Sir, how are you?” “yes. manager.” Taejun stopped walking and said hello. “It must have been difficult to work because it was hot.”
“no. Thank you for the ice cream today. Thanks to you, I was able to get the job done well. All the staff loved it.”
“It’s nothing. Anyway, I’m glad I was of some help to cheer you up.”
Taejun continued to look around while having a conversation with his team leader. And he found out that So-eun was at the repair shop with his colleagues. As I moved closer to the repair shop during the conversation, I heard Park Bo-bae talking to So-eun. “uh? Didn’t you wear glasses today, Chief?” “huh. I was busy in the morning so I left right away. I put on lenses a while ago. But are my glasses better?” “No no! Lenses are much better. It’s much prettier with lenses on.”
“okay? Are the lenses better?” “yes. great Why did you not wear contact lenses and wear glasses?” “It’s cheaper to wear glasses.”
“Ah, economical. You can’t miss it. Still, she looks so pretty when she wears lenses, but her beauty is a waste.”
Bo-bae, who had been making a fuss for a while, turned his head. He seemed to be listening to the opinion of the black bespectacled man who wandered beside him. “Right, Chief Jang! Chief Han is pretty!” I could immediately tell who the person I was talking to was. Jang Eun-pyo, the employee Tae-joon searched through the employee list this morning, was the manager. Eun-pyo answered Bo-bae’s question. “yes.” A quiet answer, not in the slightest fuss. “you are pretty. really.” yes. you are pretty. really. The space between those words bothered me so much that it was unpleasant. While continuing the conversation with his team leader, Tae-joon naturally moved his steps and looked at the face of a man named Jang-Eun Pyo. Han So-eun’s eyes through the glasses, which were constantly conscious of her movements, made her angry for some reason. As it turned out, he was the guy who insisted on the lack of manpower in the mobile service team when Tae-joon tried to take So-eun to a solitary room on the 7th floor one day. That guy didn’t volunteer for the TF team with a pure heart. Taejun was sure. It was very irritating that a girl who was pretty to me could be equally pretty to everyone else. * After completing her regular duties, Soeun went up to the 7th floor as always. As always, manager Song Moon-kyung welcomed So-eun. “Chief Han, are you here?” “yes. How are you boss?” “How are you feeling? Do you know how surprised I was on Friday?” “really sorry. Thank you for taking care of me. I will not worry you in the future.”
“okay. But the director must have been more worried than me.”
Mungyeong spoke kindly to Soeun’s greeting. yes. The director was very worried. suffering His face flushed as he remembered the events of last Friday and Saturday. So-eun secretly took a deep breath to get rid of the heat rising on her face. an hour ago. I found out that Taejun made a surprise visit to the mobile service team. He probably didn’t come to see her, but So-eun hurriedly went to the bathroom and took off his glasses and put on the contact lenses. Putting on the lens, he went to the repair shop and while talking to his colleagues about the device, Taejun left. After Tae-joon disappeared, So-eun found herself laughing. He would show the man something, I wonder if I was so nervous that I quickly changed my lenses. Even after being bitterly aware of the reality, I became nervous again when I went up to the 7th floor. “The director is here. Would you like to come in with me?” In the meantime, manager Song Moon-gyeong stood up and led So-eun. Hearing that he was in his office, So-eun was excited again. It’s a big deal, Han So-eun. what are you going to do Soeun followed Mungyeong with a feeling of wanting to cry. Mungyeong knocked on Taejun’s office. smart. “yes. Come in.”
Taejun’s voice came from behind the solid door. Mungyeong opened the door and went inside. “Director, Chief Han So-eun has come up, and I’m leaving work now.” “yes. You worked hard.”
Taejun, who was doing his housework, greeted Mungyeong. After Mungyeong left Soeun alone, Taejun stopped working and stared at Soeun. Soeun’s legs trembled slightly as she approached one step at a time. “Chief, hello.”
“How are you feeling?” Without answering the greeting, Taejun asked about Soeun’s health first. Soeun answered sincerely. “It’s fine now. Thank you for your concern.”
“thank god.” Really, do you think I’m glad I’m okay? It was funny that he gave meaning to every short word of his, but recognizing it didn’t stop him from thinking. Still, it was impossible to take away his precious time for a long time, so So-eun did not forget the justification and reported today’s work. “Director, this morning, I asked for a letter of recommendation from Manager Song Mun-kyung.”
“I saw. I will review it.”
“yes. So, when do you start doing it?” “I will contact you separately. ” “yes… … Then, can I leave work today?” I don’t think there’s anything more to say, so I’m about to say goodbye and turn around, but Tae-joon suddenly stands up. “Today, more than that, I have something to apologize for.”
“yes?” “this.” Taejun, who came closer, held out his hand. In Taejun’s hand were familiar glasses. “Chief Han So-eun’s glasses, right?” Glasses gifted by Hee-wook. The glasses I lost while drinking recently. The glasses were held in Taejun’s hand, with the glasses broken. No, why is the director doing this? You said you didn’t see it then. Looking at the glasses and Taejun alternately with surprised eyes, Taejun spoke solemnly. “Actually, I didn’t see it under the bench that day and stepped on it.” “… … .”
“I couldn’t bear to talk about it because it was precious. I’m sorry.” I hated him for not returning the glasses on time, but I do not resent him. Because he lost his glasses then, he would have been able to shake off a piece of lingering earlier. “… … no. It doesn’t matter at all now. it’s okay.” Soeun shook his head. I didn’t even have to get my glasses back. It was uncomfortable to talk about Taejun and his ex-boyfriend. I was about to say that you can throw away the glasses, but Taejun raised his voice as if nothing happened. “It’s fortunate that you’re not precious, but anyway, I was wrong, so I have to compensate.” “… … .”
“Let’s go get some glasses. Come out.”
Taejun moved first. So-eun’s face hardened. He couldn’t figure out what to do. Half the desire to refuse. Half of the desire to follow. It would be right to follow the director’s orders, but I thought that fitting my glasses was a very personal thing. If you feel uncomfortable, it would be better to compensate with money. Taejun, who moved first, opened the office door and urged. “Aren’t you coming out?” While looking at Tae-joon, So-eun’s eyes went cold. Seeing her cold and indifferent expression again, So-eun was somehow sad but happy. It felt like her eyes were getting more and more blurry with each blink. She just looked at it, but her stomach hurt as if it were tight. She was full of contradictions in her own mind. She is scared and nervous, but also thrilled. She has a good heart even though she shouldn’t like it. What should I do in the future? I keep worrying, but even so, at this moment, I just want to go as I am led. The starting point of this contradiction was that she was not herself. I think it started with this man. She was sarcastically saying that she was a woman with no self-respect, and she bought her food the next day as if nothing had happened. She throws in so many things that I have to come to work until the weekend, and when I fall down at work, I carry them around all night. I thought he was a cold and indifferent guy, but on the contrary, he is warm and friendly. so he hated it But he was good too. Her wandering mind was terrifying. She couldn’t get to know this man, so I felt like I couldn’t get to know either. what do you think what are you going to do with me And where will my heart go? Fearful, not knowing how far she would go, So-eun took her step. What should I do in the future? I keep worrying, but even so, at this moment, I just want to go as I am led.
