Let's continue with the story.
Chapter 9: Unacknowledged Feelings
The Workers' Day celebration came to a close, and Ji hyun's decorations received rave reviews. At the after-party, Ah rim kept a watchful eye on Ji hyun's drinking, making sure she didn't overdo it.
As the night wore on, Ah rim noticed the frequent eye contact between Ji hyun and Min soo It was as if they were drawn to each other, their gazes locking in a way that seemed almost magnetic.
Ah rim sensed a relationship brewing, but whenever she brought it up with Ji hyun, her friend dismissed the idea. "Don't be ridiculous, Ah rim. He's just a client."
But Ah rim knew Ji hyun better than that. She saw the way Ji hyun's eyes sparkled when talking about Min soo, the way she would zone out and daydream about him.
Min y, on the other hand, was struggling to acknowledge his feelings. He told himself it was just work-related, that he was simply being a good client. But deep down, he knew it was more than that.
As the days went by, Ji hyun found herself thinking about Min soo more and more. She would catch herself smiling at the thought of him, her heart skipping a beat whenever she remembered their encounters.
Ah rim's observations only added fuel to the fire. "Ji hyun, I know you're not admitting it, but I think you have feelings for Min soo."
Ji hyun's face grew hot as she quickly denied it. But as she looked away, she couldn't shake off the feeling that Ah rim was right.
