Just Twilight

The sudden cheerful voice from inside the room made Junyoung blink. As her gaze shifted back to Seungwoon, she saw him freeze as if turned to stone. At that moment, she began to understand why he was so flustered.

Junyoung glanced down at the envelope in her hand. Since returning from studying abroad, Seungwoon hadn’t had any serious romantic relationships—at least none that she knew of. And given the rumors about him and Jang Sera that had been circulating recently, it seemed highly unlikely that he’d start seeing someone now, especially a woman he usually avoided.

More importantly, the fact that Manager Kim had specifically instructed her to deliver this envelope at this exact time struck her as odd.

A sigh escaped through Junyoung’s lips. This wasn’t a setup for her; it was a setup for Na Seungwoon.

If Seungwoon were caught spending the night with another woman, the shame he’d feel might make it impossible for him to ever openly reveal his feelings for her again.

Mrs. Hong, you’re relentless. Resorting to something like this… You haven’t changed at all—still no regard for your son’s emotions.

“Junyoung, this isn’t what you think. I… I mean…” Seungwoon stammered, his voice a jumble of words.

“Unless it’s Jang Sera, I couldn’t care less,” she said softly, her eyes fixed on his flustered expression.

“If it is, then congratulations. Here’s what I was told to deliver, Team Leader.”

Handing over the envelope, Junyoung turned and began walking away, only to have Seungwoon rush after her and grab her wrist.

“Junyoung, wait. Just hear me out!”

“Na Seungwoon,” she said, her voice sharp as she glanced down at his feet, noting the slippers he wore.

“Don’t tell me you’re planning to chase me all the way to the lobby in that outfit. Think about your position and act accordingly. And don’t forget about Jang Sera waiting inside.”

Her words, laced with cold finality, drained the strength from Seungwoon’s grip. His eyes darted around nervously before he exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair.
