The Silla Seoul Hotel,

Soo Yin did her assignment which was delayed because she didn't go to work yesterday. She was currently in Park Soo Hyun's room. According to the agreement this morning, she'll pretend not to know that Dae Hyun had returned to Seoul.

Her eyes were focused on the monitor as she sat restlessly. It was really uncomfortable to work overshadowed by the fear of not being able to go anywhere like yesterday and having to work overtime without being able to return to the Pyeongchang-dong villa.

But she had to stay there so that Park Soo Hyun wouldn't suspect if she knew Dae Hyun was back.

Check.

There was the sound of the door opening, Soo Yin still remained in her sitting position. A little nervous made her slide over to the edge of the chair. Her heart fluttered when she glanced at him, it turned out that Park Soo Hyun was walking towards her desk.

"Good afternoon, sir," said Soo Yin, standing up. She couldn't help but look at her brother-in-law's face.

The face that used to look friendly now looked like his eyes were empty and tended to be scary. Soo Yin then lowered her gaze because there was a sharp gaze piercing her.

"What are you still working with me for? Isn't your boss back already?" said Park Soo Hyun in a cold tone. But turned his face the other way because he didn't want to see Soo Yin's face. There was a fear that Soo Yin would be hurt by the tone of his voice.

"Really? I thought Mr. Dae Hyun hasn't worked today," said Soo Yin, trying to dare to answer.

"Now you will be free from me. You must be very happy because you are not working with me anymore," said Park Soo Hyun while glancing at Soo Yin with a fierce look.

Soo Yin was quite scared and had goosebumps when their eyes met. The warm gaze that was usually obtained was now nowhere to be seen.

"That's not true, sir," Soo Yin stammered as her head now bowed again. Didn't want Park Soo Hyun to see the lies in her eyes.

"Aren't you the first to find out that Dae Hyun has been home since yesterday?" quipped Park Soo Hyun.

"N… not true. How… how could I know about that," Soo Yin stuttered. Really, she did not expect if Park Soo Hyun would guess it right on target.

Soo Yin then looked at Park Soo Hyun. Guessed if the one who sent the message was the man who was now in front of her.

"Don't be nervous like that. I'm just guessing but if it's true that you know, it doesn't matter. After all, Dae Hyun is your boss, so it's natural for you to call each other and ask how you're doing," Park Soo Hyun quipped in a flat tone.

Soo Yin was grateful that it didn't seem like it was Park Soo Hyun. It must be Han behind it all or it could be Aeri too.

"Now you can leave my room. Dae Hyun is back so it's impossible for me to let you stay in my room," Park Soo Hyun kicked her out subtly.

"If you ask for my help until the afternoon, then it's fine." Soo Yin suddenly felt bad.

"No need," said Park Soo Hyun very briefly.

"Okay, I've also finished everything. You can check it," said Soo Yin as she handed over the printed file.

"Thank you," said Park Soo Hyun nonchalantly and then turned to his desk.

Soo Yin froze in her place. Felt strange about Park Soo Hyun's sudden change. But Soo Yin immediately thought positively, maybe he was angry because she didn't come to work yesterday and only gave him sudden news.

°°°°°°°°

Before leaving the room, Soo Yin packed all her things. Then approached Park Soo Hyun who still seemed busy checking files.

Park Soo Hyun remained indifferent and did not take his eyes off the file, even though Soo Yin was standing right in front of his desk. There was silence, all that could be heard was the sound of a sheet of paper being opened.

"Hmmm." Soo Yin cleared her throat so that Park Soo Hyun would notice her presence. But the man just corrected his sitting position. Crossed one leg over the other.

"Sir, if I have caused trouble these past few days, I'm really sorry. Regarding your feelings for me, I also can't accept it because I already have a boyfriend and it's impossible to leave him," explained Soo Yin.

"Boyfriend or husband?" Park Soo Hyun said flatly without looking at Soo Yin.

"What do you mean?" Soo Yin gaped as some of her guesses today didn't go wrong.

"I just want to make sure that you only have a boyfriend, not a husband. Because if it's a boyfriend, you can leave him at any time. Unlike a husband, you have to maintain that relationship no matter what," said Park Soo Hyun with a furrowed brow, looking at Soo Yin.

"Of course boyfriend, sir," said Soo Yin stammered.

"Have you found out if your boyfriend is indeed a single person? Don't let you regret marrying someone who already has a wife. It could be that he has a child that is impossible to leave behind. One more thing, the child definitely wants a complete family," said Park Soo Hyun with a penetrating gaze and insinuated with soft words so that Soo Yin would stay away from his brother. He also didn't want Jo Yeon Ho to lose his father.

Soo Yin was silent because her lips felt heavy when she tried to refute. Park Soo Hyun's words that were so right on target hit the deepest recesses of her heart. It was impossible to argue because it was all true.

It was also impossible to admit everything because Soo Yin didn't have the courage to speak frankly to her sister-in-law.

"Sorry, if my words are true because I just guessed. You don't need to put it in," said Park Soo Hyun.
