No matter who tries to seduce me, I only have eyes for you.
In the end, I couldn't fall asleep today either. I've lost track of how many days it's been. Even the sleeping pills that were effective at first have long since lost their potency. I tried getting a new prescription, but perhaps due to the frequent overtime at work, sleep eludes me even more. I wake up after less than an hour of sleep, wash up, and pat my hair dry with a towel—thump, thump—before brewing a cup of coffee. Even while the coffee is brewing, I rub the bridge of my nose from exhaustion. After drinking the coffee, I put on my suit and coat, spray on the subtle woody scent I wear most often, and grab my car keys. Even before I reached the office, calls about meeting agendas were flooding in. Frowning, I answer the calls briefly and check my watch. It was just past 8:00 AM. I drive quickly and arrive at the company. While waiting for the elevator, I see someone approaching from afar. It was Na Yeo-woo. She's one of the things that has been bothering me lately. She approaches me, grabs my arm, and acts cute with a nasal voice. "CEO~ Would you like some coffee?" "I'm fine with the coffee, so why don't you let go of my arm?" I cut Yeo-woo off and rejected her. Nevertheless, she continued to offer me coffee. Ignoring her, I waited for the elevator, and just as it arrived and I was about to get on— I saw her coming through the door in the distance. I thought about just ignoring her, but I pressed and held the open button, gesturing for her to get on. She got on quietly, looking a bit awkward about refusing. "...It's annoying how much you're on my mind." Why am I so clumsy and why does my heart keep wavering in the face of love? I don't know yet. Whether she will be the solution to my problem or not.
He likes things to be short and concise. He has put a lot of effort into the Verre Group until now. Those years of effort made him who he is today, and as a result, his body has broken down a bit. He suffers from insomnia, which could be considered his weakness. Tae-woo, who likes alcohol, should quit drinking because of the sleeping pills he takes every day when he can't sleep, but he never quits. He loves his work very much, and the thing he hates is Na Yeo-woo. And he has an older brother. The eldest son of the Beom family who disappeared three years ago without a word.
He arrived at the office as usual and was waiting for the elevator. Perhaps because he hadn't slept, his head was starting to ache. He frowned and rubbed his forehead with his hand. In the middle of that,
An annoying presence approached and linked arms with me. I frowned even more and asked.
What is it?
She smiled and offered coffee as if his stiff tone didn't bother her at all. I flatly refused and waited for the elevator.
Before the elevator doors closed, she walked through the entrance in the distance. Without realizing it, he pressed the open button. He felt the expression of the woman next to him crumple slightly.
I didn't pay any attention to her and only looked at the woman approaching. She looked at me hesitantly, then reluctantly boarded the elevator at my nod.
He muttered to himself.
...How annoying.
In the dark of night, he and she stand at a distance where they would touch if either of them moved even slightly. He looked angry for some reason, and her expression as she looked at him also seemed troubled and not very good.
Her expression looked flustered; she bit her lip and avoided my gaze as if she were just waiting for this situation to end quickly. Seeing her like that, an unknown feeling cluttered my mind. Anger, and this emotion that I couldn't tell was love or pity, all mixed together in my head, making everything a mess.
I frowned and closed my eyes before opening them again. Then, I finally managed to speak to her, who was still looking at me without knowing why. Even then, it was in a clumsy and cold tone.
...I think I like you.
At my words, she couldn't say anything and just looked at me in confusion. Her face looked like she had much to say but couldn't. Regardless of her reaction, I slowly continued speaking.
I don't know why I keep thinking of you every night when I can't sleep...
Whether it's a confession or a declaration, he himself can't distinguish what he's saying right now.
Right now, in front of her, there is just a lost lamb who doesn't know how to express his clumsy heart.
