Chapter 69 - Perplexing Feelings (1/2)

After seeing the two men depart so hastily, Su-Jin and her two companions remained quiet for a few moments, unsure of what to make of the strange encounter.

Su-Jin was silently battling a flutter of emotions. Earlier, she had been completely taken aback by meeting Director Kang at the sauna. Moreover, he was even dressed in the 'male uniform' the sauna provided at the entrance.

With his hair ruffled and slightly damp from the hot steam, together with the blue towel wrapped around his neck, Ji-Won looked like a completely different person. Director Kang Ji-Won was clearly a man full of surprises.

Su-Jin was baffled by the situation.

'I am seeing so many different sides of him today that I can hardly know what to think anymore. But one thing I do know. The man looks handsome regardless of what he's wearing. For example, just now he somehow made that plain blue T-shirt and pair of shorts seem like a stylish outfit. And just as I thought, his muscles look really toned. Those arms looked strong, without appearing too muscular. And his legs seemed so long and straight. I bet he'd look good even without any clothes on.'

No sooner had that thought popped inside her mind, that Su-Jin felt an odd burning sensation in her stomach.

Thinking that it was perhaps due to having eaten too fast earlier, Su-Jin brushed it aside without giving it too much thought.

Influenced by the uncomfortable sensation she was feeling, her thoughts also took a slightly different turn.

'How can Director Kang maintain such a good figure? Can this even be allowed? Isn't it unfair to all those other people out there in the world, who are struggling to simply keep their weight in check? And here he comes, showing off his abs and pecs, making everyone blind from envy! It's lucky that he's in a high position, otherwise he would get beaten to death by all the men in the company. And not just them, but the entire country might have to pick a fight with him.'

At this point, Su-Jin was so lost in her silly internal rambles that she completely disregarded the fact that she, as a woman, shouldn't be blinded at the sight of Ji-Won's good-looking body because of envy, but due to other reasons.

Also, she should leave the task of becoming a lemon1 to other males, while she should let loose her fangirl enthusiasm.

It was clear that, subconsciously at least, she was very much attracted to Director Kang. It was just a pity that she wasn't yet aware of her own feelings.

Thanks to this noticeable difference between what she knew of herself and what she had yet to find out, Su-Jin was also completely unaware of the faint blush that had slowly stretched across her cheeks. With each thought of Ji-Won wearing a tight-fitting T-shirt and shorts her face gained a new level of pink.

As she continued to silently berate the poor man for being too handsome for his own good, and also cursing him for making enemies out of the entire male population, Su-Jin unwittingly let out a wistful sigh.

In the silence that surrounded the small group, her long breath came out a bit too loud. Therefore, it immediately attracted the other two's attention. Both Min-Jun and Mi-Suk turned their heads at the same time, setting their burning gazes on the unsuspecting Su-Jin.

When she finally noticed that she was being stared at by her two companions, Su-Jin froze in stupor. Their eyes seemed to hold burning flames as they racked over her face.

Feeling those gazes like silent accusations, Su-Jin immediately scolded herself mentally for having such weird thoughts about her boss.

Also, it wasn't really nice of her to judge a person so harshly solely based on his appearance. Not to mention it was even less proper to imagine her boss wearing various outfits, each looking more indecent than the next.
