Kim Tae-yeol, who Sunwoo expected to answer immediately, hesitated unusually. He looked at Sunwoo's face for a while, as if searching for something. Then, scratching his head, he finally spoke.@@novelbin@@

“Well, at first, I thought it wasn’t like that. Honestly, when I heard it from you, it seemed like you really hated Kang Jinwook.”

Sunwoo hated Kang Jinwook…?

“So when the assistant to Vice President Kang contacted you, you initially refused to meet.”

“I refused? Me?”

Sunwoo hadn’t heard the full story because of the talk about compensation, so he had assumed that Sunwoo had met with Kang Jinwook’s brother’s assistant. But it seemed that wasn’t the case.

“Yeah, you said you didn’t want to meet Kang Jinwook and told him not to contact you again. Then the assistant called again and said it wasn’t about that but about the land issue. That’s what he said.”

“So, I went to meet him thinking that’s what it was, and then the engagement talk came up?”

“Exactly.”

What? Then what about the 3 years he had spent stalking Kang Jinwook, taking photos, and posting them on social media?

That seemed like the typical behavior of someone secretly in love, recording every detail. Although Sunwoo hadn’t gone through every single post on social media from start to finish, he had scrolled through a year’s worth of posts. They were all filled with praise for Kang Jinwook’s looks, confessions of his feelings, wishes for them to end up together, and resentment over not being acknowledged.
