Impure Wedding Night - Chapter 84
Only Noblemtl
#84. Snack at 3 PM
2024.03.19.
“This is the new product advertisement, marketing plan.”
Team leader Ko of the planning team was standing in front of the stage and continuing the presentation.
Yerin sat next to Lee Hyun and listened to the presentation, taking notes in her diary about things to remember.
Since the conference room lights were all turned off to make the presentation screen visible, she had to rely on the diary light to take notes.
In the meantime, Yerin froze at the warmth she felt from her left hand. She
turned her head, wondering if it was true, and there was Lee Hyun, expressionless and concentrating on the presentation.
Yerin was so surprised by Lee Hyun’s sudden action that she dropped her pen, and a loud thud echoed through the quiet conference room.
In the meantime, Lee Hyun quickly lowered Yerin’s hand, which he had been holding, under the desk.
Yerin, who had no time to move, had to try hard not to show her surprise as one hand went under the table.
Everyone in the conference room’s eyes were focused on Yerin.
Yerin awkwardly laughed and blurted out,
“I dropped the pen because my hand was weak. I’m sorry.”
As soon as Yerin finished speaking, Lee Hyun spoke to Team Leader Ko as if nothing had happened.
“Let’s continue with the presentation.”
“Yes, Chief.”
Yerin hurriedly bent down and picked up the pen that had fallen under her feet.
Even at that moment, Lee Hyun was still holding her hand.
Yerin tried to pull her hand free but it wouldn’t budge. She had
no choice but to sit up straight in her chair.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyun let out a cold voice, as if he was dissatisfied with the presentation.
“Team Leader Ko, I think I’ve seen that idea before somewhere.”
“Oh, Chief. It’s a marketing plan that got a good response when we introduced the new product last time.”
While holding hands with Yerin under the table, Lee Hyun was concentrating on the presentation as if nothing had happened and asking questions.
“Aren’t there any other plans?”
“There are. If you look at the screen here… .”
Team Leader Ko was sweating profusely and trying not to find fault with Lee Hyun.
Unlike Lee Hyun, Yerin couldn’t concentrate on the meeting at all.
Today was a very important meeting, so she had to understand the content properly, but Lee Hyun didn’t seem to have any intention of letting go of her hand.
Yerin had no choice but to lower the hand she was holding the pen with and tap Lee Hyun’s wrist with her index finger.
Lee Hyun slowly turned his head at that action.
“Why?”
He asked so calmly with his mouth, and it almost made him laugh.
“Please let this go.”
Yerin also whispered softly with her mouth.
He must have understood, but Lee Hyun just shrugged his shoulders and turned his head forward again.
If he saw someone holding hands with Lee Hyun, it would be a big deal.
Maybe that’s why her heart was beating much faster than usual.
Lee Hyun slowly relaxed his grip on Yerin’s hand and began tickling her palm with his index finger.
Surprisingly, the feeling spread from her hand and then spread throughout her entire body.
Was it because she thought she couldn’t get caught, or was it because of Lee Hyun’s prank?
The strange feeling gradually took over Yerin.
Yerin had no choice but to quickly write something in her diary and hand it to Lee Hyun.
She often did this during meetings when she had to tell Lee Hyun something urgent, so it was a good way to convey her thoughts without anyone suspecting her.
Lee Hyun’s gaze naturally moved to the handwriting Yerin had written.
[Director, please let go of my hand.]
I was worried that my handwriting might not be visible because it was dark, but fortunately, Lee Hyun seemed to have noticed.
Lee Hyun picked up a ballpoint pen and slowly began to write something with his left hand, which was not holding Yerin’s hand.
After a while, the diary returned.
[I want to kiss you, so I’m holding it in like this.]
It was clearly written with her left hand, but it was so neat.
And in that neatly written note, it seemed as if Lee Hyun’s soft, deep voice could be heard.
Yerin quickly began to write notes in her diary again.
[The presentation will be over soon. You can catch it whenever you want after work.]
As soon as Lee Hyun read the note, the presentation ended and the conference room lights turned on.
Only then did Lee Hyun let go of Yerin’s hand.
“Whew.”
Yerin let out a sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on Lee Hyun’s face.
“Team Leader Ko, let’s improve on the things I pointed out today and meet at the next meeting.”
“Yes, I understand. Chief.”
Lee Hyun left the conference room as if nothing had happened, and Yerin quickly packed up her belongings and followed him.
The hand she had held with Lee Hyun still felt warm, and her heart rate showed no signs of returning to its normal pace.
***
Lee Hyun, who had been walking quickly, changed direction to the conference room, which was not frequented by many people unless there was a big seminar.
“Chief?”
Yerin, who had been walking behind him, called out to Lee Hyun as if she was surprised after realizing her destination belatedly.
Lee Hyun looked around, confirmed that no one was there, and extended his arm toward Yerin again.
As if leaving it up to her to decide whether or not to grab him.
“Let’s take a short break and then go.”
At those words, Yerin also looked around once more and quickly grabbed Lee Hyun’s hand.
Yerin also didn’t want to go back to the office like this.
She felt that she needed to get rid of the ticklish sensation that had been spreading throughout her body since earlier in order to concentrate on her work.
At the same time, the two entered the conference room.
The conference room was dark with the lights off.
The sunlight from the daytime streamed in through the slanted blinds, illuminating it only a little.
Lee Hyun locked the conference room door and wrapped his arms around Yerin’s
waist. Yerin placed both arms on his shoulders and glared at him.
“Why were you like that in the conference room earlier?”
“I wanted Han Yerin to focus on me instead of the presentation.”
“Huh?”
Lee Hyun let out a breath, laughing at his own words.
“I know, it seems strange. But at that moment, I thought that childishly.”
He seemed to know what Lee Hyun was thinking.
I also thought at that moment that I wanted to see Lee Hyun shake because of me.
“And yet, the chief was concentrating on the meeting as if nothing had happened?”
“So, were you upset?”
“Yes, a little.”
Lee Hyun tightened his arms around Yerin’s honest words.
“Actually, I don’t remember a single thing about today’s meeting.”
“Huh? You were so focused that you even asked questions here and there.”
“They were just formal questions. I’m sorry, but I don’t remember what Team Leader Ko said.”
When I heard that story, I laughed strangely.
It felt like I had filled Lee Hyun’s head, who seemed to be calmly concentrating on his work.
“Chief, I’m worried that my work efficiency has been dropping lately.”
“Yes.”
Lee Hyun called Yerin whenever he had the chance.
The reason was to ask about schedule adjustments and documents, but once he entered the office, such work-related matters were always put on the back burner.
He said things like he wanted to see her face, or that he wanted to hold her for a moment.
It almost felt like he was using his work to pursue a relationship.
“I’m worried that if we continue to stay like this, our schedules will be disrupted.”
At those words, Lee Hyun slowly lowered his head and blew hot breath into her ear.
“Then, I guess Han Ye Rin can help you focus better.”
At those words, Ye Rin’s eyes sparkled.
She would do anything if there was a way.
“What should I do?”
“Are you willing to help me?”
“Of course.”
Lee Hyun smiled with satisfaction at Ye Rin’s determined face.
“From now on, I want you to eat something other than the cookies or fruit I give you as a snack.”
Around 3 PM, on days when Lee Hyun was in the office, Ye Rin would pack a snack to go with her tea.
Since it was around that time, Ye Rin was planning to pack a snack for Lee Hyun today as well.
“What do you want?”
If she wanted health functional foods or other nutritional supplements, Ye Rin’s eyes sparkled as she thought she would quickly go out and buy them.
Lee Hyun’s eyes darkened for a moment, and soon his lips opened.
“Let’s be like this every afternoon at 3 o’clock.”
And soon after, he could understand the meaning of ‘like this’.
What Lee Hyun wanted to eat instead of the snacks he usually ate was Yerin’s lips.
Lee Hyun slowly stroked Yerin’s lips as if he was sucking soft cotton candy.
As she accepted his kiss, Yerin seemed to understand the ticklish feeling that had spread throughout her body since the conference room.
I wanted to feel this warmth from Lee Hyun.
“I always eat snacks, so I felt sorry for Han Ye-rin.”
“I eat them whenever I have time.”
“Let’s eat together from now on, good things.”
Lee Hyun’s voice, speaking softly, was so strange.
Their lips met again, and they exchanged energy that only they could give each other.
The long break was broken by the rattling sound of someone pulling the doorknob of the conference room.
Ye-rin hurriedly pushed Lee Hyun away, and he also looked toward the door with a somewhat awkward expression.
If he hadn’t locked the door when he came in, it would have been a really big deal.
“What, why is it locked?”
“I think it’s locked when you’re not using it. Let’s go down to the first floor and get the key.”
“We should do that.”
The two of them let out a sigh of relief as they heard the footsteps getting farther away.
And at the same time, their eyes met and they burst into laughter.
