Chapter 55
“I’ll adjust the schedule to wrap things up as quickly as possible...”
He distanced himself, mentioning something nearly impossible in an attempt to avoid the uncomfortable situation. When I thought his business was over, given that there was no further reply, I tried to turn around.
“Prepare for Jeju Island.”
“...Jeju Island?”
It seemed like this was the real purpose behind Yoon Taeo calling me. The tight schedule was just a complaint. His expression when he spoke about work was different, lacking any playfulness.
“Jeju Island is still under construction, so it seems like you can go there slowly.”
Although it was a scheduled trip for Yoon Taeo, the main purpose was the resort construction project, which had a massive budget. But if we narrow it down to just Taeo, the main character of the drama was about to appear in this episode, marking a pivotal moment in his love life. But it felt too soon. It wasn’t the right timing yet...
“So, you’re saying you’ll go, right? If things go on like this, we won’t be able to open it even after a year.”
“Ah, yes... I’ll prepare.”
“The A section of the rooms is already finished, so let’s use that for accommodations.”
It should be a good thing. If the main character and I connect earlier than expected, it wouldn’t be bad for me either. If they meet, the story could reach its conclusion without me needing to do much. But for some reason, it didn’t feel pleasant.
Perhaps it was because of the unexpected news. My chest, which had been shaking earlier, had quieted down.
