"You're quite warm. Are you sure that you are not coming down with a cold?" Seyoon questioned.
Feeling Ryu Seyoon's cool palm against her forehead took Chaerin by surprise. Raising her head from her documents, she gripped Seyoon's wrist and pulled his hand away.
She then voiced out, "This is nothing. There is no need to take a deal out of it."
Both of them were currently in her study room, and after Ryu Seyoon pleaded for almost an hour to let him help her, Chaerin conceded, seeing how stubborn the male was.
In her opinion, it would be wasting less time if he created a mistake. With that, she will be able to keep him out of it, and he will not be hanging on the matter further.
Pulling his hand away from her, Seyoon stated, "You should still take care of it before it gets worse or else you would not find it pleasant if it interferes with your work later on, right?"
Chaerin was unable to differentiate whether he said those because he cared or without any particular emotions behind it. Nonetheless, those words were something Chaerin did not understand how to react to.
Finding herself in quite an awkward situation, she said, "You aren't here to inquire about my health. If you want to help me, just don't talk about the unnecessary matters."
Judging from his face, it seemed that Ryu Seyoon was about to mention something, but a glance from her made him shut his mouth.
Although Seyoon was purposely ignoring the line she had put in between both of them, she was adamant on making it obvious for him until he gave up.
Seyoon was a persistent one. Nonetheless, she believed that she was stronger than him. She was determined to make it clear to him that doing more work than necessary was merely fruitless.

Even if he did not make a mistake, she expected for his help to be mediocre. However, being how efficiently he worked through the entire time, it baffled and almost tricked her into thinking that he is a professional.
Maybe that was what he was. His background still remained a mystery to her due to Kang Minseok being unable to investigate it properly, and it was not unlikely for him to be in this field. Probably this was the reason he was confident about offering his help later on.
Closing the laptop before her, Chaerin glanced at the watch. Due to his help, she was able to finish work an hour earlier and had mixed feelings about it. Although she was pleased, there were many other emotions that began to emerge deep within her.
Her eyes then fell on Ryu Seyoon who was seated opposite to her. His dark eyes stared at her, and at that instant, his bright eyes reminded her of a puppy, who waiting to be complimented. It seemed almost cute to Jung Chaerin.
"It appears that you were quite helpful. I am grateful to you for lending me your help," she voiced out, "You almost were like a professional."
"My desire to sleep with you invigorated me to work hard," he commented, winking at the woman before him.
