“I feel happy that I have been able to make you feel happy.”
The Han River Park was dark.
It was a place where no one would pass by at such hours of the day.
In the quiet area with no background noise, only Yu Na’s breathing could be heard.
No matter how much they hugged it out, the atmosphere was bound to become awkward.
So he decided not to miss the timing to utter a few choice words here and there to fix the mood.
“Ah Yes....”
“Let’s try working really hard from now on, Yuna. You can also make a lot of money if your streaming career kicks off and your New Tube succeeds.”
“Yes! I will work really hard.”
Lee Hyun-woo’s words seemed to work as Lee Yu-na responded with a rather enthusiastic answer while he was still holding onto her.
‘Great. The preamble was well handled.
All I have to do now is to transform this into a romantic atmosphere while maintaining the flow of the conversation.’
And his hands couldn’t remain still while hugging her.
Not that he planned to tickle her erogenous zone or anything, but Lee Hyun-woo’s hand moved slowly and brushed Lee Yu-na’s back up and down.
And he put a little bit more strength into the hand that was holding her.
The distance between the two narrowed even further, and Lee Yu-na’s body was finally pressed against Lee Hyun-woo’s.
“Oh! Hoo, Chairman!”
“If you do as I say, you will succeed. Even if you fail, I have enough money to help you to try again and again. So don’t worry about your future.”
“Yes, that, but...”
“Hm? Is there anything you want to say?”
“Ah.... Well.... I will try hard....”
Yuuna tried to say something about the situation, but swallowed back her words.
What she was trying to say was conveyed to him through her emotions.
She probably felt a bit uncomfortable being held by him like that.
But in the end, she didn’t speak out against it.
This was an important step.
The reason was that she had never had contact with a man in that way in her 20 years of life.
It was her first time going on a drive alone with a man.
It was also her first time eating chicken and beer by the Han River.
And it was also the first time she was hugged by a man.
Such changes would have been exciting and novel experiences for a girl like her.
She also could have been nervous and afraid.
But in this case, in the circumstance where she had a crush on Lee Hyun-woo but no true feelings of love, a long hug would probably be burdensome and make her even more nervous.
But she didn’t reject it out of disliking it.
This meant that if Lee Hyeon-woo pursued her sincerely, he could have her firsts.
Such thoughts flowed through Lee Hyun-woo’s head.
After thinking these thoughts, Lee Hyun-woo was able to regain his composure.
If the possibility was already this high based on his calculations, there would be no benefit to being impatient and rushing the process.
Rather, there were such times when it would be better to take a leisurely approach.
And now was such a time.
Lee Hyun-woo relaxed his arms that were holding her tightly.
“Ah…”
That was the sound of air escaping from Lee Yu-na’s mouth.
Lee Hyun-woo looked at her eyes directly.
The eyes of the two met.
It felt like they were about to kiss.
Unable to stand such an atmosphere and Lee Hyun-woo’s intense gaze, Lee Yu-na turned her head away first, avoiding his eyes.
Her cheeks were flushed red.
“Hey, Chairman. I don’t think this is the time for that now. At least not until after we start dating....”
Lee Yu-na expressed her firm refusal.
However, it wasn’t an ‘I hate you!’, but it was a rejection of ‘Not now, follow the procedure and then come back.’
It was not that she didn’t like Lee Hyun-woo, but just that she wanted him to follow the normal way of doing things i.e dating and then kissing.
“Ah. Right. That’s true.”
Hyunwoo Lee nodded.
Over the past few days, as he had been hanging out with female streamers who were too easy to get along with, he too had forgotten the normal view of dating for a second there.
Most normal people did not kiss before dating.
Even if they kissed before dating, it was at least during the flirtatious period beforehand when lovey-dovey emotions were exchanged.
Well, one-night stands and drunk impulses were exceptions.
In any case, Lee Yu-na was still a virgin.
She was a pure white virgin whose body, mind, and spirit remained untainted.
As such, it was understandable for her to refuse to kiss him, since she would also fantasize about being romanced and skinship.
If that was the case, he figured it would be impossible to take her to a hotel today.
But he was not disappointed.
Lee Yuna seemed to be quite accepting of Lee Hyeon-Woo, so if he pursued her slowly, he might be able to drag her onto the bed someday.
“Did we go too fast?”
“Yes... No, ah! Progress is not the important thing! I just wanted to say that the feelings in our hearts are important! Just that!”
“Okay? So shall we date then?”
“Huh?”
At Lee Hyeon-woo’s sudden proposal, Lee Yu-na squealed.
She appeared quite surprised.
“Ahaha, what are you so surprised about? You said that kissing was something you do after dating. Then, wouldn’t everything be resolved if we just started dating?”
Lee Hyun-woo explained in a rather light tone.
And then Lee Yu-na realised that Lee Hyun-woo was playing a prank on her.
“Ugh! You’re joking! I was surprised thinking that you really confessed!”
“If I was not joking, would you take me seriously? Would you go out with me?”
“I don’t know! No! I’m not dating you!”
“Hey, am I being dumped right now?”
“Aww, stop playing around like this. It’s not fun.”
“Aren’t you having fun?”
“Ah! Really! President!”
The heavy and serious atmosphere was quickly relieved by Lee Hyun-woo’s messing around.
‘Is it because the person I’m with is Lee Yu-na?‘
Childish pranks came so easily to him around her.
“I had fun today.”
“...me too.”
“Didn’t you answer back a little late?”
“It’s because president keeps playing strange pranks on me! But it was fun though.”
“Yep. Let’s go for a drive some other time. You have to go to school later, so I’ll make some time on my day off or on the weekend.”
“Ah! Yes. That’s fine. Please get home carefully.”
By the end of the drive date, Lee Hyun-woo and Lee Yu-na had become very close.
Lee Yu-na was no longer nervous around Lee Hyun-woo.
He couldn’t take her to the hotel, but this alone was enough progress.
Besides, while he had asked her playfully earlier, he was able to confirm whether she would be interested in dating him.
He just needed to wait a little while longer for her feelings to ripen.
