Going to work as usual, Hyejin went to the pantry after put her stuffs in her office. When she arrived there all employees look at her and Sunhee pulled her closer to them. She was surprised by her action but still follow her.

Finally, they went to the pantry and some of employees are there. Hyejin gulped hardly when they look at her but Sunhee holds her hand and smiled at her. Daeun gave her a seat on the chair with sheepish smile and that's making Hyejin more confused.

“What is happening?” she asked.

“Hyejin, be honest with us. We already saw everything and now we want some confirmation. What is your relationship with Mr Jake?” Sunhee replied with a serious tone.

Hyejin stunned, the moment she heard his name her heart beating crazily. The thing that she fears the most. Her mind started to overthink about what people see here right now.

“Mr Jake?” she asked and all of them nodded, “come on, we knew something is happening between you two.”

Jihoon nodded, “and someone stupid, share some voice video from your conversation with Mr Jake but we don't know who's that person.”

Everyone nodded in unison. Hyejin could feels her hands trembling under the table. She wants to run from that place immediately but she can't, her legs are way too weak at this moment. Hyejin feels like she almost crying in front of everyone especially when they look at her.

She tried to speak but her voice is not came out, she felt a little bit suffocated with the environment. If she being honest, will they continue judging her? If she telling the truth, can they accept it? This situation makes her decision of quitting is more stronger and valid.

“I.. I don't know how to—”

“Yes, we both are in relationship. Just wait for our wedding invitation and everyone is allowed to come.” someone's interrupted them from the entrance door.

Everyone started to act differently when they saw Jaeyun stood at the door with his relax expression. Hyejin turned around just to see Jaeyun who immediately smile sheepishly at her. He went towards Hyejin and caressed her head and played with her soft hair.

“In relationship?” they all asked and Jaeyun calmly confirmed it.

“Stop talking nonsense, Sim Jaeyun!” Hyejin hits his arm but Jaeyun cuts her words, “I am not, darling. Besides, they should know about us so there's no misunderstanding in our workplace anymore.”

Once again, everyone were shocked hearing the name Jaeyun referred Hyejin to. Sunhee and Daeun already plan to fangirling over these two, especially when Jaeyun put both of his hands on her shoulders.

“We have a relationship. No need to explain how, when and where. I hope each of you can stop gossiping about my woman and do your job properly. There's benefit for each of you if only you do a great job this month.” Jaeyun smiles proudly while saying that without any doubt.

Meanwhile, Hyejin avoiding every eyes contact from other employees because she's so embarrassed right now. Especially Sunhee who already grinned at her since Jaeyun came.

“If you guys don't mind, may I borrow her for awhile?” Jaeyun asked and everyone immediately nodded.

“Hey, we are you going to bring me?” she asked when Jaeyun held her wrist but he didn't say anything. Daeun softly pushed Hyejin's shoulder and give a signal to her to follow Jaeyun. He smirked, “come on, sweet girl.”

With an heavy heart, Hyejin stood up and follow him to his office. Frowning, she yanked her arm from his grip but Jaeyun softly chuckled looking at Hyejin's face. Jaeyun wrapped both of his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

His fingers tucked her hair behind her ear sending a soft shiver to her body. Hyejin still frown with Jaeyun's behavior because she's not ready yet. What if they are still judging her? What if it will ruins Jaeyun's reputation?

“You lied to them.” she said.

“Lying about what?” he asked back and Hyejin quickly answer, “you shouldn't be lying and now everyone going to believe that we are couple or something.”

Jaeyun raised his eyebrows with a smirk on his face. Hyejin is nervous and he could tell by her trembling lips, “if we are not a couple then what are we, Hyejin?”

What are we?

We kissed.

We teased.

We acted.

Like a couple.

“Friends? What kind of friend that let their own friend kiss them? Tell me, Hyejin.” he asked and Hyejin looks away, she wants to say it but she's so afraid to tell. He was right. Friends don't do the things they do.

Everything they have done, every moment, Hyejin cherished it in a different way. She wants it more because she loves Jaeyun. She thinks about it every single time because she is comfortable with him. And that's what loves it.

“Hyejin? Talk to me, darling.”

“Are you free tonight? I will explain to you, tonight. At your penthouse.” she speaks, almost sound like she's whispering to him.

Jaeyun smirked, “alright, anything for you.”
