Secretly Meeting With My Boss - Chapter 58.1

Chapter 58.1

At that time, Tae-kyung was angry, but he tried to suppress his feelings, thinking that So-young must have had a situation.

To be more honest, he didn’t want to cause any conflict, even though they hadn’t been in a long relationship. He didn’t even know he was afraid. While Taekyung was away on a business trip, So-young might have regretted her choice, so she might have ignored his contact on a whim.

Taekyung knew better about the emotional gap between the two. Such awareness made him voluntarily have a servile understanding.

As expected, he shouldn’t have gone on a business trip. He gave Soyoung space to think about their relationship again.

“What are you thinking?”

“Huh?”

Taekyung, who had fallen into thought, belatedly came to his senses. Tae-hee asked in a mischievous voice.

“Do you think of your lover?”

Tae-kyung, who was shocked in an instant, shut his mouth, and Tae-hee raised the corner of her mouth as if she knew it. Then she asked him in a playful tone.

“I don’t think you hate Jiwoo… Don’t you feel ‌you’ve had a vasectomy for nothing?”

“Ah, stop talking about that.”

When Taekyung hated it, Tae-hee burst into laughter. When she laughed out loud for the first time in a long time, Jiwoo was also happy, laughing helplessly and shaking his body.

“The girl from that time? So, it turned out well.”

“I hope you don’t mind other people’s business.”

“Ahaha, I guess it’s true since you’re not denying it. What kind of woman is she to make you live like this?”

“Nonsense…”

“By the way, does she know you had a vasectomy?”

“…….”

“When you get married, you two will be dink. Did she agree to that?”

tl/n : dink – dual income, no kids.

When asked a sharp question that he had not yet considered, Taekyung became a mute.

Marriage has yet to be considered for the two, who have just started a relationship, but that doesn’t mean it’s just a long way off.

Taekyung was naturally assuming a future with Soyoung.

But what about Soyoung?

[…I still think it’s wise not to start a relationship that’s about to end.]

So-young said that on the day she dated Tae-kyung. She arbitrarily judged the relationship between the two as a romance with an ending in sight. For her, Taekyung’s vasectomy wouldn’t be a big deal for her. Taekyung became embarrassed later.

Don’t tell me you only think of me as a good man to date.

He didn’t want to burden So-young, but he realized ‌it was a matter to be sure someday. Taekyung narrowed his forehead with a serious face. Tae-hee swallowed laughter again as she saw her younger brother who fell into his own world.

Soyoung was just about to die.

Rumors about Tae-kyung became almost a fact within a few days and spread widely throughout the company. There were even details such as preparing for a wedding centered on close relatives or a phone call to find a honeymoon house.

From the beginning, it was a relationship that started relying on the current affection without the future. But as soon as they started dating, she couldn’t believe this happened, and she thought she would be weird if she overreacted.

So-young suffered from stress to the point where her nerves were worn out for several days. It was only after hitting the bottom mentally that she decided to give up her relationship with Taekyung. She no longer needed a sincere apology or confession. There was no excuse she wanted to hear from a man who deceived me.

So-young thought she had to end this meaningless relationship, but nevertheless, she rarely had the courage to face Taekyung.

Recently, Taekyung has been busy with the project, so it was full of excuses to avoid him. So-young made an excuse that she fell asleep on the phone late at night, and adjusted her commute time so that their timings would not overlap. While working, there were not many chances to encounter each other in the first place.

Even though Soyoung was unilaterally estranged, Taekyung did not show any doubts about her rapidly changing attitude. Far from being so, he maintained a consistent image. His patient affection felt somehow artificial, and that feeling gave more confidence to her suspicions.

After such a full week, it’s already Friday evening.

Cha Tae-kyung: Since we’re ending early today, let’s go home together.

It was time for So-young to get ready to go home from work. Taekyung sent a message as if he had noticed it.

Taekyung has never left work on time recently. As early as nine o’clock, if it was late, he often went home past midnight. So-young thought he would work late again today, and she was very embarrassed as much as she let her guard down. He added as if he had read such an innermost mind.

Cha Tae-kyung: No matter when I leave work, I will be on time to meet you.

She could feel the firmness that he would not let So-young run away today. Soyoung stared at the monitor silently. Her heart fluttered and beat with an uncomfortable beat.

“…….”
