Reasonable Loss - 52
Eventually, it seemed the doctor’s words about love being a matter of the brain had been proven false, making her feel as if she had beaten those annoying doctors.
6 PM.
It was quitting time.
Having already finished her work, Eunsoo jumped up.
After quickly saying goodbye to her team members, she went down to the lobby.
Specifically, to the emergency stairs at the corner of the lobby.
As she pushed open the heavy iron door, she saw a familiar back.
Broad shoulders, a wide back, and a graceful line from his shoulder blades to his waist, all filled with the pheromones filling the emergency exit.
It was Dokwon.
Even though Dokwon had come to the company, he had to hide like this.
Of course, it wasn’t a problem for him to be out and about, but officially, he was still recovering from the accident.
Moreover, if others found out that Dokwon was strange, it would be a big deal.
So when Eunsoo suggested meeting somewhere a little far from the company, he said he didn’t want to.
When she asked why, he simply said it felt off.
He was stubborn about strange things, just like before.
Thanks to that, the two had been meeting secretly, as if they were a famous celebrity couple.
“I’m here.”
Eunsoo lightly grabbed Dokwon’s hand.
“You’re here?”
Dokwon looked down at Eunsoo, who had a barely visible smile.
As they locked eyes for a moment, Eunsoo let go of his hand.
Dokwon’s shoulder flinched.
Just as he was about to say something, his lips started to twitch.
“What are we doing today?”
Eunsoo asked while hastily buttoning her jacket, which she hadn’t finished adjusting.
“……Whatever Yoo Eunsoo wants to do.”
Dokwon lightly licked his lower lip and helped Eunsoo button up her jacket.
Familiar with his touch, Eunsoo let out a soft hum.
Then, she remembered what her team members had said during lunch today.
They mentioned a new series of a famous superhero movie had been released.
Eunsoo and Dokwon had also watched that series together.
“Hmm… Shall we eat dinner and then go watch a movie? Maskman 3 has been released.”
“3? Not 2?”
“……”
At his unexpected response, Eunsoo sighed softly, “Ah.”
Four years ago, there probably hadn’t been a second movie yet.
She hadn’t thought he would forget that.
Eunsoo wrinkled her nose.
Then it seemed they wouldn’t be watching a movie, and just like always, they would eat, have a cup of tea, and part ways.
“Then just…”
“We can watch it together.”
“Pardon?”
