Hey guys! Here’s the first chapter of the week! If you find any mistakes please let me know! If you have any suggestions on how I could better the website feel free to comment down below because I’m new at making websites and don’t know what I’m doing. Enjoy the chapter!
P.S. Do you guys want me to set up a donation thing so that you guys can get more chapters? (There are three chapters per week) I don’t know how much I would charge per chapter, but because I’m still new to translating it takes me roughly one and a half to two hours to translate an entire chapter. Hopefully I’ll get faster and better as time goes by.
Chapter 4
The girl who successfully confessed.
Inside the office where everyone left to go home, was a fluorescent light that shined brightly.
*Taktaktaktaktak
You could Manager Moon continuously typing at his keyboard throughout the silent office.
Shi Won was also typing along mindlessly on her computer.
No matter how much she thought about it and wracked her brains it was impossible to wrap everything up today.
She didn't even have all of the files that were supposed to be sent from the other departments who all left, which Manager Moon definitely was aware about.
9 o'clock
*Stomach growls
Shi Won's stomach who didn't have anything to eat other than the hangover soup from lunch let out a loud rumbling noise.
You could suddenly hear Manager Moon stop typing.
'What the hell… did he hear that? Aish…'
Her face changed into a bitter expression.
The monitor's screen popped up with messenger.
[If you're finished you can submit it and go home. You seem hungry…]
She couldn't take it anymore.
Shi Won abruptly got up from her seat.
Manager Moon who noticed that swift sound stopped typing on his keyboard for a moment.
"Manager Moon. Let's talk for a bit."
Manager Moon took his hands away from the keyboard and slowly pushed himself away from his desk. As soon as he turned around and she saw his frightening appearance, she instantly regretted speaking like that to him.
He slowly turned his chair and you could see him direct his eyes at her from beneath his plastic framed glasses.
Shi Won's body visibly shrunk.
Underneath that sharp stare, Shi Won's body became petrified.
'This man. What in the world is he…?'
Now that she thought about it, she couldn't understand why she acted like this whenever she was in his presence.
What she said to him when she was drunk isn't such a big deal. Maybe he doesn't know that his attitude towards others makes them feel scared of him.
'Who does he think he is… really…?'
Shi Won gave a light snort/laugh.
"Why are you laughing?"
She suddenly became nervous when she heard his stiff and businesslike tone.
"Me? When?"
She tried to sneakily stray from that topic and put his attention elsewhere.
"Um. Manager. The truth is this project plan. You know that it's impossible to finish by today right?"
"Yes, I do know that."
Wow… this man really… He acknowledged that he gave her an assignment that he knew was impossible to finish by today. Her anger from before slowly began to rise up again.
"The reason you gave me this work today, I clearly know why. You're definitely angry at me. But even though that happened last night, you put your anger out on me by giving me more work. I'm really disappointed in you."
"Disappointed?"
Suk Han's (Manager Moon) eyes suddenly turned sharp and stared at her intensely and when she saw him staring at her she gulped.
"Are you always like that?"
"What?"
Shi Won didn't understand why he used the word 'always' in this situation.
"Are you always like that when you drink?"
"No! I've never… this was my first time saying that!"
My tolerance for alcohol isn't that strong so I don't drink that heavily that often like yesterday unless something drastic happens.
Also, during the days I drink a lot I've never complained about somebody before when I was heavily drunk.
"Your first time..? Are you sure?"
"Ye…s…"
The ends of his mouth smirked upwards and I began feeling bad upon hearing his sarcastic voice. That's why I hesitated and answered in a drawn out manner.
Shi Won got really surprised when Manager Moon suddenly got up from his chair and her butt leaned back onto her desk.
"Why are you surprised?"
"Me? When?"
His sudden actions turned Shi Won into a frightened little mouse.
"No.. why.. are you coming so close…?"
"Don't you have anything to say to me? I think that you should at least have a reason or an excuse…"
There was only a half-step's distance between the two of them before Manager Moon stopped. She could smell a mixture of cool lotion and a male's natural body scent. She's never been this close to him before so she's never smelled him before.
"Ah. That… I drank too much yesterday… I'm sorry!"
If she bowed her head too much her head would have hit his chest so she only bowed her head slightly and apologized.
"Is that all?"
Even though she only slightly bowed her head she felt his breath on her forehead which surprised her and she lifted it quickly back up.
He looked down at her and they were face to face.
'Uh…'
The softly raised ends of his mouth and his eyes that were slightly bent downward behind those plastic framed glasses. Shi Won saw his face and thought that it wasn't wrong to think that he looks kind of good to look at. It was completely different from the usual expression that she usually saw from him. His expression was very soft.
Suddenly, Shi Won was very perplexed. Her nervousness and anger slowly went away unknowingly.
'What is this…'
This wasn't nervousness, Shi Won's heart began to beat very quickly. This man usually cold and suddenly experiencing this type of warmth from him makes my heart be fast.
It was very interesting to feel this type of thing for the first time since knowing this man.
Shi Won didn't look away from his gaze but instead moved her eyelids up and down. She looked at him as if he was a fascinating new specimen.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Those lips that she wanted to buy lip balm for his dry lips, suddenly looked very plump and luscious. His voice that was normally low, stern and annoying to hear now sounded nice to hear and very sexy.
'I… have I gone crazy?"
"Miss… Han Shi Won…?"
Him calling me by my name without using my title made me direct my eyes towards his lips and their eyes met.
"I like you."
Shi Won's trembling voice filled the close space in between them.
"I like you Manager Moon. Will you go out with me?"
She filled the space again with her shaking voice.
This has nothing to do with the earlier promise where I said that if he dumps then I will be single for the rest of my life. Also, I think that there's a possibility that he might be an unscratched lottery ticket. She didn't have any time to think about those things and just abruptly confessed to him without putting any thought into it.
His body's smell tickled her nose and those warm eyes of his felt like they would melt her body. Hearing his voice sounded like an angel's. She felt drunk from all of the euphoria she was receiving from her senses.
He suddenly stepped back and the distance between them widened.
"Right now… do you have any idea what you just said to me?"
If she says yes, that would seem like a lie so she just stared at him.
Even I think that this was a ridiculous confession.
Manager Moon redirected his gaze towards the floor for about ten seconds.
Shi Won thought that this was a joke in this tense atmosphere but Manager Moon said, "Yes."
"But… do you think you can handle me?"
"What?"
"Then let's do it."
Shi Won came out of her daze and didn't understand what he meant by 'can you handle me?'.
"What!??"
Her voice was an octave higher than normal and Manger Moon turned back around and gave her a smile.
He answered without hesitation like he was waiting for her confession. Shi Won was very surprised at seeing him smile for the first time and her mouth was wide open.
Manager Moon turned his head and looked inside the office.
Shi Won still had her mouth open and she didn't know where to look.
"Anyway, you can't finish it by today. Let's go home."
"Assistant Manager Han did you hear me?"
"Ah… yes??"
"For a person who just successfully confessed and was accepted, your expression doesn't seem too happy."
This is the first time she realized that he's an actual human being that can talk a lot.
"Do you regret it already?"
Regret… she hasn't yet accepted this situation so she didn't have time to think that far.
"Because you're not saying anything, I'll take it that you don't regret it. I'll take you home."
She stared at the figure who turned around, turned off the computer, grabbed his bag and began to walk out of the office.
"Aren't you coming?"
"Ah… yes… yes… I'm coming…"
She was still in a daze but was still able to grab her things and followed him out.
