Secretly Meeting With My Boss - Chapter 71.1

Side Story 2 (1)

She can’t believe she got married after only dating Taekyung, and left for the U.S. together. She thought life was really an unpredictable sum of coincidence and inevitability.

[You joined the company right after graduating from college.]

[Yes, that’s right. The open recruitment of the CH group was the first one I saw, and luckily, I passed.]

[It’s a relief if you’re sure that CH is the answer even after you finish studying, despite that, consider as many possibilities as possible. You’re good at whatever you do, so wouldn’t it be better to experience various things and find your aptitude?]

Tae-kyung poured affection and faith into So-young. He has been her most enthusiastic supporter in any situation.

Every moment, So-young felt a touching affection. Taekyung was her lover and life partner, and sometimes a mentor. He was a man who still gave So-young a variety of excitement over time.

[The only man who does this to his lover is you.]

Taekyung smiled as if he had heard the greatest praise and bowed his head and whispered to Soyoung’s ear.

[Don’t you think this was why I’m worth getting married to?]

When So-young, who couldn’t hold back her affection, suddenly kissed Taekyung’s cheek, his eyes instantly deepened. Because the passion of the two could ignite with just a small spark, anytime, anywhere.

Going to work and studying, both physically, were exhausting. Tae-kyung, who knows better than anyone else that So-young is struggling, did most of the wedding preparations alone.

So-young, who felt sorry, volunteered to help with decision making, but hoped she would focus on studying at that time. Therefore, all So-young did was choose one of the many selected by Taekyung or add opinions.

Their wedding was held privately. Although it was mainly invited by relatives and close acquaintances, even so, there were so many guests of Taekyung that the hotel’s grand ballroom was far short.

On the wedding day, So-young, the bride, was undeniably beautiful. As she walked on the aisle decorated with lilies and white roses, the guests could not hide their admiration, and starlight poured from Taekyung’s eyes. He was the happiest man in the world, by all accounts.

People from the department who have been working together for a long time also congratulated the two on their marriage. Earlier this year, there were a lot of congratulations in a mischievous tone.

[It’s amazing that this is the result of company relationships. Congratulations, you two. Just be happy from now on.]

[Thank you.]

[It was hard to pretend not to know that you were making many obvious hints that you were dating, but we were rather grateful for the wedding announcement.]

[I thought I hid it well. Was it too obvious?]

[I thought you wanted me to know. Are you sure you really hid it?]

[Ah… Since when did you notice?]

[Since the first year of our team’s creation?]

[You found out really quickly….]

So-young blushed without knowing what to do, but Taekyung smiled strangely and showed little reaction. In response, she shook her head.

Married life provided a sense of happiness and stability. The fact that Taekyung is with her at the first and last moments of the day gave her a fullness that she didn’t know before.

However, she couldn’t afford to enjoy the honeymoon with ease. Because Taekyung’s appointment to New York was certain, So-young also had to make every effort to pass the MBA. The university she considers as her top priority also naturally became NYU.

So-young spent all her spare time preparing for GMAT. Although she received a separate tutoring, Taekyung, a native of the Ivy League, helped her more than anyone else.

[T/N: GMAT – Graduate Management Admission Test]

The two spent most of their free time studying, and on weekends, they studied together from morning to night. At that moment, So-young felt sorry for Taekyung yet more grateful than sorry.

[You are having a hard time because of me, too.]

[This hard time is rather good.]

[Why?]

[Because we can be together forever.]

So-young was immersed in new emotions, recalling how much she had become dependent on Tae-kyung and how solidly her trust was formed. And in such moments, she would renew her determination to produce good results.

Fortunately, the result of the hard work was a pass.

So-young, who received the acceptance mail, hung from Taekyung’s neck and jumped, and he also smiled brightly and hugged her. From then on, she looked for a house to live in New York and prepared for admission.

That’s how it became July.

Before the start of the semester, NYU provided language programs for international students. Because of that, Soyoung left the country a little early. All preparations had already been made, so all I had to do was go to the country.

“I have to go in now.”

“Yes…”
