Chapter 61.

Eunseo may not have known much about expensive brands, but even she knew this one.

“I’m sorry, I’ll pick another one,” she said as she quickly put down the box on the floor.

But Kwon Jihwan insisted, “Just take it. I have one just like it anyway.”

He showed her his wrist. Just like he said, he was wearing the same design.

Eunseo stammered, “N…no, I can’t. This is too expensive…”

Instead of answering her, Jihwan grabbed her wrist and placed the watch on her. He announced, “It looks good on you, Miss Kang.”

“But I can’t…”

Jihwan said to her in annoyance, “If you don’t accept this, I am going to dock your pay.”

The watch was so beautiful. It was made of both gold and silver with a diamond on its dials. It looked just like the one Kwon Jihwan was wearing but a little smaller.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Kwon.”

Eunseo touched the watch. It wasn’t about the price but the fact that they were wearing the same watch. It was like they were a couple, and it made her feel happy.

Of course, Eunseo knew that Jihwan only gave it to her because he didn’t need it.

Just then, she suddenly began to wonder why he was so nice to her. Just yesterday, he was so angry.

Finding her courage, Eunseo decided to ask him. If she didn’t now, she was never going to get another chance.

“Umm, Mr. Kwon…”

“Yes?”

“You weren’t busy the day before yesterday and yesterday, were you? That wasn’t why you asked me to use my breast pump.”

Eunseo saw Jihwan flinch visibly. So she was right. He was obviously cold to her on purpose. Realizing the truth, she couldn’t help her heart break, but she pretended to be okay.

Eunseo continued, “If this is a problem for you, it’s okay. I would really appreciate it if you would just provide me a private place to pump. And if you don’t want to do that either, it’s fine. I’ll find another way. I’m just thankful that you helped me so much already.”

Instead of answering her, Jihwan asked, “How about you, Miss Kang? Don’t you feel uncomfortable doing those things with me?”

“Pardon?”

“Because you’re in love with another man, aren’t you?”

At first, Eunseo couldn’t understand what he was talking about. Then suddenly, she realized that Jihwan must be referring to Seo Hyunwoo.

Eunseo almost blurted out that she was actually in love with him instead. But she stopped herself just in time and retorted, “But you aren’t interested in me either, right Mr. Kwon?”

She tried to smile naturally, but she saw that Kwon Jihwan didn’t smile back at her. He stared at her with a serious look before murmuring, “What if I tell you that I have changed my mind? That I am interested in you, Miss Kang?”

Eunseo gaped. She was so shocked that she couldn’t even blink. She stared at his eyes, wondering if she heard him right.

No way. It didn’t make sense. There was no way this man would like her.

Her heart, which was pounding fast, suddenly slowed down. She almost forgot the fact that she wasn’t someone who was allowed to date. If she did, she would end up making that man very miserable.

Eunseo turned away and replied, “Then we need to stop this immediately, of course. Don’t you remember what I told you from the beginning. I like someone else, so there can’t be anything between us, Mr. Kwon.”

She refused Seo Hyunwoo when he asked her out. It wasn’t going to matter who wanted to date her because Eunseo wasn’t going to date anyone ever. Even if Kwon Jihwan wanted to be with her, she couldn’t. She couldn’t burden him with her illness.

Suddenly, she heard Jihwan laugh. When she turned back toward him, Eunseo saw that Jihwan was chuckling in amusement. He replied,

“I was just teasing you, so don’t look so serious. You know I’m not interested in you.”

Eunseo should have been relieved, but she couldn’t help feeling bitter instead. So she was right. There was no way a man like him would like her.

“…But I am still a greedy man,” Jihwan added as he sat down closer to her.

Eunseo flinched when he touched her sweater. Jihwan leaned toward her and whispered in her ear seductively, “Isn’t it time for you to pump?”

Because she has been sick, and she hasn’t eaten much, her breasts didn’t fill up as fast. But she didn’t pump at all today, so she was beginning to feel her breasts get heavy.

They did this everyday, yet Eunseo felt a little shy because they were in a different place now. Eunseo leaned back a little in embarrassment.

She stammered, “I… I think I’ll be okay. Please don’t mind me, Mr. Kwon.”

Jihwan warned, “But you don’t have your breast pump, so what are you going to do? You are already sick with cold, so do you want to get even sicker with mastitis?”
