Reasonable Loss - 51
His solar plexus felt tight and sore.
But it didn’t feel bad.
Rather, he wished his heart would feel a bit more drowsy.
If someone asked why he thought like that, he wouldn’t have an answer.
Right now, Dokwon was the embodiment of a clueless fool.
As Dokwon stood there blankly, Eunsoo stepped forward.
Concern shimmered in her clear eyes.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“Pardon?”
“Do you have a headache?”
“……No.”
Dokwon replied in a somewhat lifeless voice.
“Then that’s good.”
Eunsoo smiled and pulled Dokwon’s hand.
Fortunately, he followed her without any complaints or dissatisfaction.
Eunsoo’s cheeks were filled with excitement.
In fact, this was the reason she had decided to walk with Dokwon, to hold his hand, but she had struggled to find the opportunity.
They had done everything they could physically together, rolling around on the bed like instinctive alphas and omegas.
But why was her face burning over such a simple skinship?
Maybe it was because it had been a long time since they had held hands.
Eunsoo’s throat was parched, but she tried hard to act nonchalant, keeping her gaze straight ahead.
Dokwon also walked, only looking at the round back of Eunsoo’s head.
It was a beautiful day.
Eunsoo had planned to meet with Dokwon according to his schedule.
Dokwon had been busy filling the four-year gap, while Eunsoo just had to live her days like a hamster running in a wheel.
In fact, even if something happened to Eunsoo, their meeting could only be decided by Dokwon, who needed to be ready.
The two met quite regularly.
At first, they only met twice a week, then three times, and now it was four times.
They had meals together, drank tea, went shopping, and did all the usual date activities.
Although there weren’t any particularly memorable conversations, Eunsoo held Dokwon’s hand consistently, to the point where he started holding her hand first.
And just like when he reserved a Korean restaurant, Dokwon began notifying her of the meeting places in advance.
[What are you doing after work tomorrow?]
[Let’s have dinner together.]
Then it changed to,
[Let’s meet today.]
[I’ll come to your office.]
And these days, it was just,
[In the company lobby.]
Eunsoo was pleased with this change.
It felt like he was gradually returning to the old Dokwon.
See? This person loves me, whether his brain is malfunctioning or not, she thought proudly.
