Married

23. Protect you

(Ravi's POV)

I realized Han Sanghyuk was nowhere to be seen. So I entered Taekwoon's office with a friendly offer of a hot vanilla latte...

- Hello – Taekwoon blinked.

- Hi – I said, I somehow lost words just by being in front of him.

- So....?

- Nothing. Bye.

- Wait a minute! – he said and laughed – Thank you... for the latte... - he said shyly and he looked so cute...

I had a hard time stopping myself from jumping on top of him and he noticed.

He smirked and then he bit his lip as I loved. He smiled and took a sip of his cup, a small one since the coffee was hot.

- H-hot... - he said – But tasty~

- Y-Yeah... Hot indeed – I said as I looked at him.

- Aahhhh... delicious... So, you can go now. Unless there's something else you want to say.

I left his office and I knocked my head in my desk. Why am I being so awkward?

At lunch time I decided to ask him to eat with me.

- Since your friend is not around and sister ditched me...

- Oh, okay. – he surprisingly said. – But... just as friends. Right?

One step at a time, Kim Wonsik. We can do this.

- It's a nice day, don't you think? - I awkwardly stated

- Wonsik. You look weird today.

- Well, being divorced twice does hurt your self-confidence a little.

- The food is great here. What else should I order? – he said ignoring me.

- But it's not as good as the food you cooked. You know why? Because your food tasted like love. – I can't believe I said such a cringy line.

- Taste like love?

- I know I'm lame! It's unfair; I will never be able to compete against your perfect boyfriend. I bet he knows what to say. For you I'm just a playboy who lost his swag.

- W-what? Ahahaha.

He made a pause and looked at me. He told the waiter what else he wanted to order and then he said one single line before putting a spoon on his mouth.

- I am not dating him anymore.

And I couldn't hide my happiness.

- It doesn't mean I'll go back to you. - he continued.

- But it means I have a chance, right? Everyone deserves a second chance~

- Just eat before it gets cold.

- I'll do anything and everything I must to conquer you. Just tell me anything you want, Taekwoon. Anything. No matter how long it takes...

I was happy and even though he pretended to act coldly I could see he was giving me hope. He wanted me to do this, he wanted me to court him.

One day we met Mr.Yang and I could see he had his eyes on Taekwoon. The moment he put his hand over Taekwoon's leg I lost it.
