Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 36(Lovesickness)

When she was questioned by her team the first time, her passionate speech had managed to stabilize the situation but only just temporarily—and barely. But once she left the meeting room, standing under the light all by herself, she felt lonely. Then she thought of him, of his cold, focused look, and the smile in his eyes. She took out her phone, wanting to send him a message, but worried that he could be a hundred times busier than her. So she put the phone back in her pocket and looked out at the strange city through the window. Into the dazed darkness of night, she stared blankly.

When the exceptional idea of celebrating had come up for the first time, she had smiled and waved everyone out the door. “We have to celebrate. Dinner is on me tonight!” Everyone was excited and cheered loudly. Even as she headed out, surrounded by the group high in spirits, it had still been him floating around her head.

Even though everything was going so well, he wasn’t by her side. She just wanted to hold his waist and bury her head in his chest—though she had never done that before.

His distance made her restless. This greedy lust had come from nowhere—was he even aware of it?

Her melodious ringtone suddenly started ringing in the empty room.

Jisoo immediately got off the bed. She stared at the familiar name on the screen: Kim Taehyung.

“Hello.” She became quiet after saying only one word.

There seemed to be some background noise on his end of the line. Taehyung’s voice was also very soft: “I was in a meeting just now.”

“Erm, me too.”

He also became quiet. Jisoo could hear his light, shallow breathing.

“What time do you arrive tomorrow?” he asked.

Immediately she replied, “The flight is at ten, so maybe around noon.”

“Good,” he whispered. “I’ll be waiting for you.”

Hanging up the phone, Jisoo’s face became hot, and so did her heart. She was tormented by the response, “waiting for you.” She buried her head in a cool pillow for a little while, and she couldn’t help smiling.

After what felt like a long time, Jisoo finally returned to the company.

...

It was 1:00 pm, and the breakfast on the plane had not been filling. Starved, some colleagues said to Jisoo, “Let’s go grab a bite together!”

Jisoo was also a little hungry, but she said “I’m good,” as if she weren’t. “I’m heading over to report to the executives. After lunch, you could come back to the company and inspect the data again. I’ll be back in the afternoon.”

Stepping in the long-awaited office area on the top floor, Jisoo’s feelings were flying out of control.

They would soon be together.

This awareness stayed on the surface of the most obvious spot of her heart. But how should she phrase it? Like, “I want to see your second trick.” Or she could put it in his way, “If this distance can be tolerated, what can’t be tolerated?” That way, he would understand.

Or... she could just skip the talk, and give him a kiss?

What about that mysterious deal with her brother? Something about taking baby steps?

Who cares!

Feeling sweet and excited like never before, Jisoo walked toward his office.

The cubicle outside was empty. Jiang Yuan wasn’t around either. She cleared her throat and knocked on the door.
