She walked to me with that same proud smile, the one that always made me nervous.
I stood up quickly and held her wrist. "Why are you here?" I asked.
She smirked. "First of all, why are you here? Don't tell me you actually work here… for the Kims?"
I hesitated. "Yeah, I do."
She let out a low chuckle. "Wow."
"Why are you here, Jieun?" I asked, voice low.
"I was on my way to meet my future husband," she said, brushing imaginary dust off her shoulder. "But since you're here, it feels… inappropriate. I'll meet him another day."
I froze.
So she's not exposing me… yet. That's good. But if she meets Joonseo… everything will fall apart.
She turned her heels dramatically. "I'll leave now," she said, not even glancing at the big glass window behind us—where Joonseo was still in deep discussion with Jiho and Yuna.
I sighed in relief.
But for how long can I keep this secret?
Just then, my phone buzzed.
Seungwoo:Minji, it's already 2:40. I'm at the parking area.
