Chapter 166 - Acting skills [2] (1/2)

After trying to remind herself continuously on being confident, she managed to head towards the shop. However, staring at the familiar door of the shop caused nervousness to come back to her, and she gulped.

All the strength she had mustered up within her previously seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden, and she found herself being at a lack of energy.

Staring at the knob of the door, she wondered whether or not should she pull it in order to enter into the room before her.

However, even after thinking for couple of minutes, she wasn't able to come into a resolute answer. All the confidence she had in her acting skills seemed to have disappeared.

Her heart started to beat rapidly within her ċhėst while an idea came inside of her mind. She thought of skipping work today by coming up with an excuse, and she could only return when she had set her mind on something.

But leaving the shop when she was the only one who is able to deal with it was too irresponsible when her reason was too simple.

It was sad how Sookyung bȧrėly knew anything about the flowers although he knew how to perfectly how to order the people working at shop. She wondered whether or not he searched online about it.

But it wasn't the time to think about something as silly as that.

Taking in a deep breath, she found herself reaching into a decision. It would be for the best if she left today and came back on some other day when she was ready. Since such a grand thing occured only yesterday, she believed that she deserved some time to pick herself up.

But before she was able to go along with her plan, she felt a presence behind her, and as the scent into her nose, she knew who that very person was judging from the cologne. There was no one else who possessed such an unique scent.

Maybe she should ask him the brand of his cologne when they were in better terms. Right now, this was one of those things she wasn't able to afford to think about.

His very presence behind her felt quite intimidating to her, and she had a hard time breathing. As much as she wanted her heart beat to be much slower, it appeared that she bȧrėly had any control over it's beating rate.

This was one of those times she hated how the beating rate of heart was involuntary.

From this distance, taking in how good his ears were, he was definitely able to hear her heart beats distinctly, and he was probably able to see the sweat that formed on her neck— something she had no control over as well.

If the things were up to her right now, the first thing she would have done was to disappear from this very place. Unfortunately, she was too weak to do that right now.

”Aren't you going in?” he questioned.

While his deep voice reached into her ear, she flinched, and Moon Jiwoo had a sharp feeling that he definitely noticed the small movement. Embarrassment filled her at the thought of that, and she believed he was laughing inside on how easily scared she was when it came to him.

Since this wasn't one of those things she was able to help, the only thing she was capable of was to lament at it.

While sweat gathered on her surface, she gulped— unfortunately, loud enough for the male behind her to hear— and answered, ”Y-Yeah, I am just going in. Sorry.”

Her words came out in stutter, and that added up to the reasons of why should she be feeling embarrassed. Things really did not go well for her when she was nervous.

Probably things would be for the best if she was like before. She was really shameless and dense then. Maybe that's why she was able to do lots of things without feeling slightly humiliated.

Growing up wasn't as much of a good thing one made out to be.

”Then, what are you waiting for?”

Seeing how there was no way of escape from this, Moon Jiwoo opened the door before her and entered in through it.
