Secretly Meeting With My Boss - Chapter 78.2

Chapter 78.2

Side Story 9 (2)

Due to the late night, it was impossible to enter 43rd Street, where the ball drop event was held, but neither of them paid much attention to the fact.

Taekyung, who hates to touch people, did not feel much discomfort with the crowd today. So-young was able to walk comfortably without bumping into others in his overprotection.

Performers were singing and event noises rang in the distance, and people were dressed in funny costumes. Tae-kyung raised the corners of his mouth, hugging So-young as if to protect her from the crowds coming from all directions.

“It’s the new year soon. Have you thought of your wish?”

“What about you?”

“My wish is so typical that I can only imagine it.”

“I don’t think it’s much different for me, either.”

So-young giggled into Taekyung’s arms. Then she suggested to him with a sparkling look.

“Why don’t you make each other’s New Year’s wishes come true?”

“Shall we?”

“Instead, don’t answer that you don’t have a wish. Can you do it?”

“Sure.”

While the two were talking, the New Year’s countdown was just around the corner. Everyone looked up at the electronic display, and it was the same for both of them.

With midnight just around the corner, the crowd was quiet. Finally, the long-awaited countdown began. Tae-kyung and So-young also shouted numbers after people without hiding their joy.

“……3, 2, 1!”

Kiss time followed with timely fireworks, cheers, and music. Among the people exchanging New Year’s greetings and kisses, Tae-kyung wrapped So-young’s cheeks. The flushed eyes shone like pouring stars.

“Happy New Year.”

“And you, Team Leader.”

Their lips were deeply engaged. Cold frozen lips overlapped, and warm breaths were mixed. So-young’s burst of laughter vibrated and passed on to Taekyung. He smiled brightly, hugging her as she clung to him.

Their eye level changed in an instant. So-young lowered her head, touching Taekyung’s shoulder. Then she laughed and said to him, without hiding her joy.

“The beginning of the new year is perfect, isn’t it?”

“So, what did you wish for?”

“What about you?”

So-young’s question made him speak.

“I always support and respect you no matter what you want to do. It’s just that… “

“…….”

“I hope you don’t push yourself too hard. I want you to rely on me when you’re having a hard time. And to be a little more greedy…… I wish it were only me you look for help.”

“…….”

“Will that be difficult?”

So-young stared into Taekyung’s eyes. A cold, frozen hand wrapped around his cheek.

“It’s too simple of a wish, isn’t it? I’ve already done enough. Didn’t you know that?”

Tae-kyung twisted his head slightly and kissed So-young’s palm lightly. Then he rolled up his lips at an angle.

“We’re desperate in our own way. So… Soyoung, what’s your wish?”

“Well…”

So-young murmured as if she was worried. But for a moment, she smiled brightly and spoke.

“I just want our family to be as happy as we are now. So let’s continue to work together.”

Taekyung’s eyes shook at the word family that came out of So-young’s mouth. She couldn’t fully read the complex emotions on his face, but vaguely understood how he felt.

“When I see you, I want to be a good person. Perhaps you are the luckiest thing that has ever happened in my life. Thank you for being with me and being my family. And… I love you.”

“…….”

“More than anything I’ve ever loved and will ever love,”

Gradually, a flawless smile spread over Taekyung’s face. He closed his eyes calmly, and lowered down to So-young and kissed her again. Another memory that will be remembered throughout their lives was imprinted on their hearts.

In the midst of the uproar, they were sure. As long as they are by each other’s side, every journey in life that awaits them will be a meaningful journey‌.

In the end, it was also love that made them obsessed with irrational passions, immortalized their foolish behavior, and discovered a fullness that had never existed before.

Like special lovers that rarely exist in the world, the two whispered their love to each other. When the time they spent together added to their language of love, suddenly, everything around them shimmered romantically with a unique color.

It was a perfect night to start a new year together.
