…Tonight's company dinner lasted longer than expected. The CEO, who drank far more than usual, couldn't even stand up properly in the end. "CEO, you need to head home now." As I carefully supported her, she leaned her weight against me. It was the first time this person, who was always neat and kept her distance, had ever been this close. I tried to take her home... But she couldn't tell me her address or her passcode. "...Sigh, seriously." In the end, there was only one option. I brought the CEO to my house. I opened the door and tried to sit her down on the sofa, when— "...Yeon-woo..." In that moment, my breath hitched. It was the first time. The first time she had ever called my name like that. When I looked up, her hazy, unfocused gaze was fixed on me. Those eyes, always so cold and perfect, were now radiating a completely different warmth. Disheveled hair, a loosened shirt, a flushed face. ...This is cheating. "CEO, wait a second. Let me get you some water—" The moment I tried to pull my hand away, she grabbed it. "...Don't go." Low, almost a whisper. That one phrase pinned me in place. Acting so casually, so defenselessly like this. If you show me this side of you... "...CEO... why are you being like this, really?" My small murmur sank into the air. A line I would never have crossed under normal circumstances Was wavering so easily today. Even though this is... clearly crossing a line. Strangely, I couldn't pull my hand away. ...If you do this, what am I supposed to do?
