#86. A glass of honey water
2024.03.26.

When Lee Hyun pulled away from their lips that had touched for a moment, Yerin rolled her fist and hit his chest so that it wouldn’t hurt.

Yerin glared and spoke.

“I told you not to!”

“I did it after checking that no one was there.”

So, it was a request to just let it go once.

Yerin, either drunk or captivated by Lee Hyun’s charm, didn’t hate it either, so she decided to just let it go once.

“Didn’t Manager Park cause a lot of trouble for Han Yerin earlier?”

“That was true, but I’m glad it went well.”

Of course, many employees who found out that Yerin was dating would ask questions every time they saw her, but at least she wouldn’t have to go on useless blind dates.

“You know that the manager wasn’t embarrassed or hesitant, right? On the contrary, I had a headache trying to figure out how to explain the boyfriend I was seeing.”

Lee Hyun nodded with a smile at Yerin’s honest words.

“I know. It was also a time to find out what Han Ye-rin thinks of me.”

At those words, Ye-rin’s cheeks turned red again.

“My boyfriend was listening, so I had no choice but to say that.”

“Is that really why?”

“… … .”

Of course not.

The fact that he is someone who lacks neither looks nor talent was a perfect description to describe Lee Hyun.

Ye-rin simply covered her mouth with one hand and smiled, not disliking Lee Hyun asking her questions despite knowing everything.

“The company dinner is fun, but the time I spend with Han Ye-rin is more precious to me.”

Lee Hyun got up from the bench first and reached out to Ye-rin.

Ye-rin looked around and gently placed her hand on top of his.

“I have to get out of here quickly.”

“It doesn’t seem easy.”

After a company dinner, many people would wait until the sun rose to go home. That’s why they weren’t the type of people to just sit by and watch someone

leave in the middle.

Lee Hyun pulled Yerin’s hand, which was holding onto a good number, and whispered softly in her ear,

“Just trust me.”

***

When Lee Hyun and Yerin re-entered the company dinner together, the staff members, who were much more excited than before, greeted them.

The two sat down in a seat where other people were, not where they had been eating.

“Secretary Han, you’re dating? When did you start?”

“Where did you meet? A blind date?”

As expected, questions about the man Yerin was seeing poured out like a storm.

“Secretary Han, would you like to drink?”

Lee Hyun, who sat down next to Yerin, asked in a soft voice.

“Yes, please.”

Yerin held out her empty glass, thinking that she had to buy some time.

Lee Hyun smiled at Yerin and slowly began to pour soju into her empty glass.

Just before the glass overflowed, Lee Hyun stopped.

Yerin moved slowly, feeling like the alcohol might spill if she made a mistake.

At that moment.

Someone passing by behind Yerin tripped and fell, knocking over the chair Yerin was sitting on.

As a result, Yerin’s arm wandered around in the air, and the alcohol that had been filled to the brim spilled out of the glass, soaking Lee Hyun’s suit pants.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Yerin tried to clean up the situation belatedly, but the alcohol had already spilled.

Yerin quickly pulled out a napkin and tried to wipe it herself, but soon realized that the area where the alcohol had soaked was Lee Hyun’s thigh, making an embarrassed face.

“Chief, here’s a tissue.”

Lee Hyun took the tissue Yerin offered and slowly wiped the spilled alcohol away as if it was nothing.

The people at the same table were watching Lee Hyun’s expression closely.

“Secretary Han didn’t do it on purpose, it’s okay.”

The person who had touched Yerin’s chair as he passed by was Secretary Choi.

Secretary Choi also bowed and apologized as if he was very sorry.

“Chief, I’m sorry. I was going out to answer the phone.”

“It’s okay. Secretary Choi didn’t do it on purpose.”

Lee Hyun got up from his seat first with a regretful expression.

“Secretary Choi, go answer the phone quickly.”

At that, Secretary Choi lowered his head once more and hurriedly went out.

Lee Hyun spoke to the other employees who were looking at him.

“I want to enjoy the company dinner more, but as you can see, this is the situation.”

“Yes, Chief. You must be feeling uneasy, so I think it would be better if you went in quickly.”

Since they couldn’t ask him to stay in while his clothes were soaking wet, no one said anything about Lee Hyun leaving the dinner.

Yerin followed him and got up next to him.

“Chief, Mr. Kim is waiting for me.”

“I think I’m a little drunk, so can I ask you to take me home?”

“Yes, of course.”

Yerin and Lee Hyun were able to say goodbye to their employees and leave the dinner very legally.

***

The car driven by Mr. Kim drove very quietly through downtown Seoul.

In the car heading home, Lee Hyun was leaning his face against the window with his eyes tightly shut, as if he was tired.

Yerin slowly turned her head and scanned Lee Hyun’s face.

The streetlight coming in from outside the window illuminated Lee Hyun’s sculpted face.

Yerin bit her lips without realizing it as she looked at his sharp nose bridge that seemed like it would cut if touched with her hand, and his plump lips beneath it.

At that moment,

Lee Hyun, who she thought was asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

There was no fatigue in his dark eyes.

“Do you need to observe more?”

“Observe?”

“How hot is your gaze? I can’t pretend not to notice.”

Lee Hyun’s lips turned up in a curve.

Yerin felt embarrassed for no reason and brought up a different topic of conversation.

“How are you feeling? I prepared some hangover cure. Would you like some?”

“No. I don’t think you’ll need hangover cure.”

Yerin slowly nodded.

“Are your pants soaked in alcohol uncomfortable?”

“It’s okay.”

It must have been uncomfortable, but Lee Hyun kept smiling.

“Why?”

Yerin asked curiously, and Lee Hyun came closer and whispered softly in her ear.

“I’m actually very grateful to Secretary Choi right now.”

“Yes?”

“Thanks to you, I was able to leave the dinner earlier than I thought.”

Lee Hyun slowly pulled back, perhaps sensing that Yerin was constantly mindful of the driver Kim.

“But didn’t you say that the chief had a plan in mind?”

As they returned to the dinner party, Lee Hyun had told them to trust him because he had a good idea to get out of there quickly.

“I was curious about what that was.”

Lee Hyun let out a snicker.

“Why do you think Secretary Choi, who rarely makes mistakes, would have hit the chair that Han Ye Rin was sitting on earlier?”

“Huh? No way… …”

Ye Rin’s lips slowly opened.

Lee Hyun just smiled.

“Did you ask Secretary Choi to do that on purpose?”

Yes or no, Lee Hyun didn’t answer and just shrugged his shoulders, but Ye Rin could tell.

The fact that he had poured Ye Rin’s glass full of alcohol, which was unusual for him, was also part of his plan to get out of the dinner party quickly.

Only then did Ye Rin realize why Lee Hyun kept smiling like that.

A similar smile appeared on her face.

***

They arrived at the villa and got on the elevator.

Ye Rin stared at the slowly changing floor numbers and then widened her eyes at the warmth she felt behind her.

There was no need to turn his head.

Lee Hyun was resting his face on Yerin’s shoulder.

Since there were quite a few people who wanted to have a drink with Lee Hyun, Lee Hyun drank quite a bit more than the others.

Yerin spoke to Lee Hyun as if she was worried.

“Lee Hyun, I think you should definitely take some hangover cure and go to bed.”

“You don’t need hangover cure, do you have any honey at home?”

“Honey?”

“Yes, honey.”

“Yes.”

At that moment, the elevator stopped on the floor where Yerin lived.

Lee Hyun slowly walked while holding Yerin in his arms.

Standing in front of the door lock, Lee Hyun tightly shut both his eyes.

“I won’t show you the password, so you can press it.”

When he glanced to the side, he saw Lee Hyun really tightly shutting his eyes.

Finally, when he heard the door lock unlocking sound, Lee Hyun slowly opened his eyes. Even

as he went inside the house, Lee Hyun did not let go of Yerin while holding her in his arms.

Because of that, her pace was twice as slow as when she moved alone, but Yerin didn’t mind.

Lee Hyun’s warmth was on her back, and his scent was on her nose.

“Would you like some honey water?”

“Can you do that?”

“Of course. Please sit here.”

He was a little worried that he would follow him to the kitchen, but fortunately, Lee Hyun had already taken a seat on the living room sofa.

Yerin quickly boiled water in the coffee pot and soon came out with a cup of warm honey water.

Lee Hyun’s eyebrows rose slightly when he saw it.

“Why only one? Han Yerin’s?”

“I didn’t drink much today, so I’m fine.”

“But if I don’t feel sick tomorrow morning, I’ll probably have some.”

Yerin smiled, receiving the worried gaze.

“I’m fine, so drink a lot, Lee Hyun.”

Lee Hyun accepted the cup of honey water and tapped the sofa with one hand as if telling Yerin to sit next to him.

When Yerin sat down, Lee Hyun took a sip of the honey water.

It was the perfect temperature and sweetness.

“Does it suit

your taste?” “Has there ever been anything that Han Yerin gave you that you didn’t like?”

Lee Hyun quickly closed the distance between them as he approached Yerin.

“I guess I feel bad eating this delicious food alone.”

“No, I’m really fine.”

“I’m not fine.”

Lee Hyun took another sip and then cupped Yerin’s lips. The sweet

scent of honey wafted through her slightly parted lips in surprise. It was

so sweet that it was hard to tell if she was eating honey or drinking Lee Hyun’s hot breath.
