—Since I told Seo Hyun that.

—But Hyun barely looks at me.

—I’m not cute.

—She hardly pays any attention to me.

—Only when it comes to work—I don’t mind that because it means so much to Hyun.

—Man, I can’t stand it when she ignores me.

—Kang Ji-ho brought his hands to his mouth and said.

—If you act like a kid, she’ll pay more attention to you.

—Why are you muttering so much?

—Nothing...

—Here, sign this.

—I don’t want this.

—You have to sign it.

—No.

—

—Are you a CEO or a kid?

— 

— Just as I thought, that’s the only thing that works; that’s the only way he’ll pay

me any attention.

Ji-ho clutched the document.

—

— And this isn’t manipulation; it’s securing what’s mine.

— Kang Ji-ho thought.

— I don’t want to.

—

— Ji-ho...

—

— Stay with me today.

— 

— Shut up.

—

Hyun brought his hand to his face.

— You’re avoiding work.

— 

— Yes.

I don’t want to work.

Hyun couldn’t help but let out a small smile.

Straightforward.

Shameless.

— Because I want to be with you.

— Being with you is way better than working all day.

— My Seo Hyun doesn’t think so.

— You’re my personal secretary; that’s not the best idea, don’t you think?

—

Hyun didn’t know how to respond.

And that… was starting to worry him.
