Lee Seob’s Love

Chapter 71. More Than A Dinner (2)

Translator: Aura

— Yes.

Minkyung also sent a short reply.

— How about 7 o’clock? If it’s okay with you, in my building.

— Yes, sir. Then I will be at the underground parking lot at 7 o’clock.

‘Ah…’

After she hit the send button, she realized the response was too serious. She thought she should have added an emoji, but the message had already been sent.

‘Well, there’s nothing to do.’

*Ding*

Just as MinKyung put down her cell phone, a message came in.

— Yeah.

It was a one-word answer. It was unusual for Executive Director Tae Lee-Seob to send an answer like this. Minkyung laughed softly.

When she saw her smiling face reflected in the vanity mirror, she felt a little silly.

‘Wake up! Wake up!’

Minkyung warned herself.

Late in the afternoon, See-ah went to cover a fashion brand launch show, so Minkyung was left alone. She stayed busy in an attempt to calm her nerves. After organizing all the food in the refrigerator and washing the sheets, she finally finished with the housework.

She then entered her tidy room, read all the fashion brand material that See-ah provided her, and began to extract the relevant information. Once done, she looked at the clock while massaging her sore neck. She was surprised to see that even though she had done so much, it was still a long time before 7 o’clock.

Minkyung got up from her desk and headed to the bathroom. She took a slow shower, dried her hair carefully and put on light makeup while she looked at herself in the mirror, in which she would also like to see her heart reflected right now.

‘Umm… my lips…’

The lips he so desired.

Minkyung looked at herself in the mirror, pressed her lips together and then pulled them apart. She only applied a clear lip gloss to enhance them.

Even with makeup, she felt that her face was definitely like a stone compared to Tae Lee-Seob’s face.

‘Who would find an ordinary stone pretty?’

To Minkyung, her face was no different from any other woman in her 30s. Except for her defined jawline, Minkyung didn’t think her face was beautiful.

At that moment, she perfectly understood Tae Lee-Seob, who called himself ‘crazy’ with contempt. Minkyung sighed softly,

“You’re really crazy, Tae Lee-Seob.”

If one party is crazy, the other must act normal and have common sense. Minkyung was lost in thought as she styled her hair with the hairdryer.

She could no longer put off the decision in the hope that time would take care of it. She had no idea why Tae Lee-Seob put her in this predicament, and it was practically impossible to find out. How could Minkyung know what he himself doesn’t know? At this point, a simple conversation would not resolve the issue either.

‘Ha… Tae Lee-Seob, why are you doing this to me?’

Minkyung put on a turtleneck blouse with a skirt underneath. As she buttoned her blazer, she looked at herself in the long mirror on her closet door. Her expression was serious, as if she had made a great decision, and her heart was pounding loudly.

She had arrived at the underground parking lot of building 123 five minutes earlier. As usual, Minkyung stood at the spot where she waited for him in the morning whenever she accompanied him and looked at the elevator entrance. Less than two minutes later, Lee-Seob appeared. He had a look on his face like, ‘huh?’

Minkyung bowed to greet him. It was already a habit ingrained in her.

“What time did you arrive?”

“I arrived at 6:55.”

“I wanted to be the one to wait for you, but I ended up late.”

Minkyung shook her head,

“No. You came early too.”

Lee-Seob stared at Minkyung quietly and reached out to pat her head. He then stroked the back of her neck, leaned toward her and said,

“Kang Minkyung.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go up.”
