Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 25(You Advance, I Retreat)

“And the first time I really desire a woman.”

After saying those words, Taehyung raised his head and stared at Jisoo.

As expected, her originally flushed face became even redder. Even her ears were tinted red. The usually-witty pair of eyes were now flickering and darting around the room in an attempt to avoid his gaze.

Taehyung also fell silent for a moment. He languidly lifted his teacup and dipped his head to casually take a small sip.

It was needless to say that she had him in her heart. The night of the riot, after both of them had to deal with the rioters, she’d gazed at him with wet eyes that shined with many complicated feelings—some that she may not have fully wrapped her head around.

If a woman didn’t love a man, she would not gaze at him in such a way. Her gaze had sent his heart to the point of silent agitation.

He was determined to win her over. At this instant, however, after he had confessed his feelings, Taehyung silently gazed at her blushing face as well as her tightly intertwined fingers resting in front of her. Even his normally-still heart that usually rested calmly in his chest was quickly beating.

His woman. She was probably the only woman in the world who could have such ownership of his heart.

But she was still hesitating. Hesitating about whether or not to come closer.

“Kim Jisoo.” He fixed his gaze on her and gently said, “Don’t hesitate.”

As expected, the moment he finished speaking, her expression became even more distressed. Her small white teeth bit gently on her lip and her face became as red as fire.

Just then, the phone in the separated cubicle behind her rang all of a sudden.

Then, Taehyung caught Jisoo’s face noticeably relax as if a huge stone had been lifted off her chest for a moment before she recovered and acted as if nothing had ever happened.

“President Kim, I’ll go get the phone!” She guiltily cast him a quick glance before turning around and swiftly leaving, with her footsteps echoing away.

Taehyung planted himself at the same spot without moving. His quiet and sharp gaze was constantly following wherever she went. He watched her beautiful side profile as she focused on her work outside.

A moment later, he cast his gaze down and slowly started to smile.

Loosening the reins would allow him to grasp her better. He could already see some hope for his success.

...

“Transfer application.”

Jisoo typed those words onto the keyboard and then stared at them for a moment, at a complete loss. Then, she slammed the backspace key to delete them all.

She collapsed onto the table and sighed. Out of the corner of her eye, she looked into the office only to see the shadow of Taehyung pressed onto the wall, which made her sigh again.

So early in the morning and her boss had decided to confess.

Now what should she do? In this small office, it was not uncommon for them to bump into each other.

Without a doubt she harbored feelings for Taehyung, who was honest and had a fighting spirit. But those feelings alone were insufficient to make her simply agree to be his girlfriend. Moreover, he was no longer the person he had been before. She had yet to fully come to terms with it.

She felt very estranged from herself. A sort of empty kind of unfamiliarity, one that she couldn’t quite put her finger on.

Except why did she experience a distasteful feeling when she thought about this?
