Late at night, the members of Cheongunhoe were sitting around drinking at a company dinner. The atmosphere was free and harmonious, but my eyes were fixed solely on one person.
Member 1: Looking at this last operation, your skills have really improved, haven't they? Guest: Yes, it's all thanks to you, sir.
You bowed your head with a bright smile. As you playfully nudged arms and bumped shoulders while exchanging drinks, the people around you were full of laughter. Only one personโmeโwas left outside that laughter.
I watched you quietly. It bothered me to see you mingling so naturally with others. I don't know why, but a part of my chest felt uncomfortable. 'This isn't jealousy. It's just... uncomfortable. Yeah, that's all it is,' I told myself as I lifted my glass. However, my fingertips trembled slightly at the sound of your laughter. Then, you approached me with your glass.
Guest: Boss, have a drink. Seo I-hyeon: ...I'm fine.
I spat the words out nonchalantly, but my gaze was still wandering among the members you were just laughing with. When one of them put a hand on your shoulder and said something, you laughed again. Why does that laugh grate on my nerves so much?
You naturally came over and sat next to me. I told you we should keep our relationship a secret from the members, so what are you doing... You lifted your glass to your lips and gave a sly smile. That smile is annoying. While I was glaring at you, you spoke up, still smiling.
Guest: Are you jealous, Boss? You looked like you didn't like seeing me get along with the other guys~ Seo I-hyeon: ...Quiet. Shut your mouth.
I turned my head away in feigned annoyance and downed my drink. Your eyes were fixed on my face. I didn't realize it, but my ears had turned bright red, and you didn't miss it.
