Chapter 139: Chapter 139.

“Oh, look at this!” Ari said, showing the flowers to Eunyoung as she entered the office before her. “Hmm. Look at these roses. He didn’t look like he was romantic.” Ari said, smelling the scent of the roses.
The flower basket that was filled with red roses seemed very expensive. However, when Eunyoung saw the red roses, the look on her face sunk deeply.
“Let me see.”
Eunyoung snatched the flower basket from Ari like a madwoman.
After roughly rummaging through the flowers, she saw the card that was in between the roses.
“What’s wrong? I’m scared.” Ari said, surprised by Eunyoung’s behavior.
However, when Eunyoung read the card, her eyes shook vigorously.
Ari approached her and stole a look at the card to read it.
“For you who used to love roses…”
Ari couldn’t understand what it meant and looked at Eunyoung in wonder.
Eunyoung took the flower basket and dumped it in the trash can.
Eunyoung still wasn’t satisfied, so she smashed them with a broom.
“No… way…”
After Ari realized the situation in hindsight, she couldn’t speak correctly. The flower was from Eunyoung’s ex-husband.
‘Knock, knock.’
At that time, the office door was opened with a knocking sound.
“Excuse me, I’m here to deliver a flower for Eunyoung Lee. Is she here in this office?”
The delivery man was holding the hydrangea asked.
“Hah…”
Eunyoung was outraged and exhaled a long sigh. Eunyoung glared at the flowers and started speaking.
“Please take them back. I don’t need them. I’m sorry.”
“Sorry?” The staff was surprised and asked her again.
“I’m Eunyoung Lee, but like I said, I don’t want it, so please take it back.”
The embarrassed delivery man didn’t know what to do and was only looking at Eunyoung and Ari alternately.
“I’m… I’m sorry. We have a situation here. I’m sorry.” Ari explained the situation to the delivery man and tried to send him back. The delivery man involuntarily left the office.
“Hah…”
When he left, Eunyoung exhaled a long sigh. A deep wound appeared on her face again.
“Hey…” Ari called her anxiously.
“… Go home.”
“What? Oh…okay.”
Hearing Eunyoung’s weak voice, Ari thought it was time to leave her alone, so she carefully left the office.

“Would she like them?”
Ojae was still waiting for her to get the flowers that he had sent to her.
After a moment, the Kidz Fan office door opened, and the delivery man came out of it. However, he was still holding the flower basket.
“What?”
Ojae looked at the flowers incredulously and stopped the delivery man who was going to the elevator.
“Excuse me, but why are you not delivering the flowers and just leaving from there with them?”
“Are you the one who sent it here?”
“Yes. It was me. What’s wrong? Why are you coming out with the flowers?”
“The lady in the office said to take it back. This is ridiculous.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“She wanted me to take it back. She was upset and going crazy about it. I had no choice. I’m sorry.”
“Really?”
“Here it is. If you want to give it to her, do it yourself because I can’t.”
The staff handed the flowers to Ojae and pushed the button for the elevator.
“Hah….”
Ojae thought that Eunyoung refused him and looked at the flowers resentfully. However, the card that he had put in the flowers wasn’t even opened.
“Sorry, but did she read the memo here in the flowers?”
“No, she didn’t even touch the flower basket.”
“Ah…”
Ojae realized that Eunyoung refused the flowers, not because she hated Ojae.
Ojae was a little relieved, but he still wanted to know what was going on with Eunyoung.
At the moment, Ari opened the office door, and she came out of the office.
“Hey, Ari, is there something going on with Eunyoung?”
“Hey, Mr. Kwon, she just received a flower basket from her ex-husband., so…”
Ari was very anxious and bit her lower lip.
When Ojae figured out the whole situation, he closed his eyes with a firm expression.
After calming himself for a moment, he started walking to the office with the flowers.

‘Knock, knock.’
In the darkened office, the knocking sounds echoed.
Eunyoung sat on the desk with her head down, and she didn’t even move her body an inch.
After a moment, the office door was carefully opened, and Ojae, with the flowers, came into the office.
“Hey, Eunyoung…” Ojae cautiously called her with a low voice.
“Please leave the office. I want to be alone.” Eunyoung said without even raising her head up.
Ojae couldn’t say anything else and exhaled a long sigh.
Ojae saw the flower leaves that were scattered all over the floor and roughly dumped in the trash can.
“Hah…”
After catching his breath quickly, he seemed determined about something and approached her. Ojae placed the flowers that he brought for her on her desk.
“These are the flowers that I sent to you.”
Hearing Ojae, Eunyoung raised her head up.
It was a beautiful hydrangea, not roses.
“… This is my sincere love for you.”
Ojae took out the memo from the flower and put it in her hand before quickly leaving the office.
‘Bang’
There was only desolate silence in the office once he left.
Eunyoung looked at the card in her hand as if time had stopped entirely for a second.
After a moment, she opened the card and read it while exhaling a long sigh.
She saw his staggering handwriting written very carefully on the card.
“I love, even your pain. I would like to share your wounds.”
It was the message that conveyed his true feelings for her. Since he knew what her troubles were, it was only he who would have said it to her.
Eunyoung burst out a generous smile.
“It’s childish…”
However, she soon closed her eyes and bit her lower lip. Her two closed eyes started trembling quietly.
“Hah…”
How much time had gone…
Eunyoung opened her eyes and picked up her phone, which was placed on the desk.
She called the number that had called her a few days ago.
She heard a few dial tones.
“… I have to face this to find the answer.”
While Eunyoung was waiting for the call to be answered, she reiterated what she just mumbled to herself like she was reinforcing herself.
“Hello?”
After a moment, she heard a voice over the phone.
When she confirmed the man’s voice, she slowly opened her eyes.
She started speaking with a sunken voice while looking at the card in her hand.
“It’s me…”
