Chapter 74

Today, Eunseo really didn’t feel like doing naughty things with Kwon Jihwan. She grabbed her breast pump and headed toward his office.

“Ah, there you are,” Jihwan greeted her happily.

Eunseo bowed and requested, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Kwon, but for today, can I just borrow a place to pump?”

“Why? What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“I don’t feel so good,” Eunseo lied.

Jihwan seemed worried. He touched her forehead and murmured, “It doesn’t feel like you have a fever, but maybe you still haven’t fully recovered. We should get you to the hospital.”

“It’s not that bad. I just feel a little weak, that’s all,” Eunseo answered.

“Did you have a good lunch? I saw that the menu today was pork stir-fry. You still feel weak after eating meat?” Kwon Jihwan asked. He seemed very concerned, and he mumbled, “Maybe you should eat beef instead of pork.”

He was making a big deal, and Eunseo couldn’t help laughing a little. He looked like a model, but he was speaking like a housewife.

Eunseo explained, “I ate a big lunch today, so I’m fine. I just need to pump my breasts and rest a little. I’ll feel much better afterward, so please don’t worry.”

“Alright.” Jihwan was about to turn around when he stammered, “Umm, that coat… I think it looks good on you.”

Eunseo flinched, realizing she never even thanked him for his gifts. She quickly replied, “I’ve never had such beautiful things in my life. This coat, and everything else you gave me… I love them all. Thank you so much.”

Kwon Jihwan looked very happy. “I’m so glad. I thought since I’m a man, I might not have good taste. I was worried you might not like them.”

Eunseo stared, realizing that Jihwan must have really picked out every single thing by himself. She couldn’t believe that the man she was in love with took such time and effort to get her these gifts. Eunseo felt shameful that she considered selling them at all.

Jihwan murmured, “If you like them, I hope I get to see you wear them often.”

“Yes, Mr. Kwon,” replied Eunseo.

Jihwan could hear the sound of the breast pump outside his room. He paced around nervously. He didn’t think Eunseo was sick. She looked upset, so something must’ve happened. But it was clear she wasn’t going to tell him the truth.

Jihwan wondered if she got in trouble with her superior. Until yesterday, she looked perfectly fine. This meant that something had to have happened today. Jihwan gritted his teeth, wondering who made his Eunseo upset. If he finds out who did this, he is going to have a word with this person.

Soon, the sound of the breast pump stopped. Jihwan quickly walked closer to the door. He was going to ask Eunseo again what was bothering her when he suddenly heard her voice.

“I’m sorry, Sir,” Eunseo said on the phone.

Jihwan quietly opened the door just a little to listen. He saw that Eunseo had her back to him.

She continued on the phone, “I need to use the deposit money for something urgent, so I won’t be able to lease this new place. I’m really sorry. Please let the landlord know that I’m sorry.”

Eunseo apologized multiple times. Jihwan suddenly remembered her saying that she was going to sign a lease for her new place today.

Eunseo continued, “It will take me a few months to come up with the deposit again. I’ll call you again when I save up enough.”

It was obvious she didn’t know Jihwan was listening.

Eunseo continued on the phone, “Yes, as long as the place is close to the Korean Construction building, I’ll take it. But I can only afford a monthly rent of 600 dollars.”

It wasn’t hard for Jihwan to figure out what was going on. Eunseo was going to rent a place near this building, but for some reason, she had to give it up.

Jihwan wanted to ask her what happened, but it didn’t look like she would tell him. He also knew that if he offered to help, she would refuse.

Jihwan wondered what he could do for her.

After work, Jihwan returned to his empty home and sighed. Eunseo only stayed two days, yet his house seemed so empty now that she was gone.

He was chopping onions when he heard the elevator open. For a second, he perked up, thinking maybe it was Eunseo. But he knew this couldn’t be. This private elevator needed a key card, and Eunseo didn’t have this. If she came, she would have called him.

This meant that there was only one person who could be visiting him.

“What the?! Kwon Jihwan, you cook?!”

As expected, he heard his sister Jiye’s voice behind his back. Without turning back, he continued to chop the onions and muttered, “Why are you here?”

His sister lived in the next building, and she sometimes visited him unannounced like this.
