The other interviewers didn't care whether Hee-joo spoke or not, only Baek Sa-eon was making a fuss.
So...
Just shut Baek Sa-eon up, right?
Hee-joo rolled her eyes and said in sign language, "If you hire me first, I will study more enthusiastically!"
Then she seized the opportunity and smiled brightly.
At that moment, Baek Si-yeon covered his entire chin with his palm.
Would he think she was too arrogant?
Seeing him frown, Hee-joo thought so even more.
But when he sat up again, he returned to his original indifferent expression.
"...Then let's do this. I will improvise a script that Hee-joo's translator has never seen before. Can you translate it?"
"Yes...!"
"It's a good momentum."
The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Hee-joo loosened her clenched fist and stared at him.
Now, put aside her husband, threats and other distractions, and focus only on the task at hand.
Although she has been living a restrained life, there is one thing she can be proud of, that is, her silent persistence in Baek Sa-eon.
His voice, his breathing, his expression. Even the smallest details.
She couldn't rely on Baek Sa-eon, so she could only collect the fragments that were easy to find and pick up.
Imitate, practice, dig, and repeat.
She adjusted herself to Baek Sa-eon's every breath. If it weren't for these persistence, she would have collapsed long ago.
Hee-joo's deep and shining eyes locked on a man.
"……."
"……."
The two people's eyes intertwined like sparks.
"Then, let's get started."
When the voice that she never had fell like a flare. Hee-joo forgot that this was an interview.
This was just...
Proof of how she persisted and survived.
Soon, the loud voice and clear pronunciation filled the entire space.
"Couples' Day is a statutory memorial day established to arouse people's awareness of the importance of husband-wife relationships and create harmonious families."
Baek Sa-eon looked directly at Hee-joo and continued impromptu.
Hee-joo's hands danced with his voice, and her eyes never left his face.
"Here is a couple."
'Here is a couple.’
As soon as he finished speaking, Hee-joo’s hand followed.
“This couple has been together for a long time, but they each have their own unspeakable secrets.”
Suddenly, his eyes became sharp.
“On their anniversary, they revised the Ten Commandments for Couples together.”
Hee-joo grasped his voice tightly and took it into her palm. The excitement of her heartbeat rushed straight to her head. Faster and more accurate.
Her eyes were gradually filled with desire.
Hee-joo wanted to be like this strong man. Because weakness always instinctively seeks a solid foundation.
