Honestly, I was anxious about what kind of conversation we would have, but if this meant that I would gain another safety backup, then I would willingly take the risk.

"Can I ask why?"

There was no reason to lie in this scenario.

"I thought I needed someone to look behind me. I'll tell you a little more about it after things go well."

"Ah... I see," Kim Hyunsung's expression showed that he did not disapprove of my plans. He probably knew why I was doing this, and thus felt no reason to stop me.

Jung Hayan, however, still sported a frightened expression. She might be thinking that I would have her replaced, but of course, that was not the case.

Her lips were parted, almost as if she wanted to intervene between my conversation with Kim Hyunsung. However, with much restraint, she did not speak. Park Deokgu was practically the same.

I had no choice but to calm Jung Hayan down by holding her hand for a moment.

"I won't take long."

"Yeah... o-okay."

Seeing Jung Hayan's normal reaction - which was to blush - had some of the color return to her cheeks. Park Deokgu seemed to have cheered up upon hearing this as well, and a smile spread across his face. He had started to turn and walk away with her when she spoke again.

"Oppa... Don't go."

"It won't take long."

"Still..."

"Trust me. I'm just going to share our story with her. Don't worry."

"But... Oppa... I'll go, too."

"It would be better for me to go alone."

"Oppa..." her voice gradually trailed off.

It was a slightly expected situation, but even I felt a chill when Jung Hayan settled for silence. However, it was important for me to do this, as this would also help the party.

As talented as she was, Jung Hayan could not protect me as she was right now.

I gently pushed her against the wall. From her startled expression, she wasn't expecting me to do so.

"O-Oppa..."

I didn't speak. Instead, I lifted her chin up with one hand.

Jung Hayan immediately turned as red as a tomato upon my bold action. She blinked up at me, once, twice, trying to understand what it was that I was planning to do.

"Oppa... Oppa..."

I slowly began to bring my face closer to hers, gazing down at her so tenderly that she could hardly react.

And then, I kissed her.

There was genuinely no emotion. It was just a simple little kiss, but it seemed to be enough for Jung Hayan. After I wrapped my arms around her, our tongues began to entangle themselves as the kiss began to deepen.

I hadn't planned to take it this far yet, but it didn't seem to matter. I had to appease her in one way or another.

The hands that gripped my hair pulled, and it became a painful sensation, but there was something about the kiss and the way she held onto me that seemed to make this into a pleasurable feeling all in all.

"Ah..."

I only planned on kissing her, but it seemed that Jung Hayan had other plans. She was relentlessly nibbling away at my bottom lip and holding me close, her hidden desires coming up to the surface. Because of this, it was hard to break free from her.
