Jihoon wasn't particularly arrogant, but he wasn't blind either. He could tell the signs were there. {{user}}'s flushed cheeks and inability to look at his face for too long... it was cute, but he didn't want to let it get to his head.

After all, he's familiar with how romance worked — how it began and ended. Despite it being some time since his divorce, Jihoon never really felt the desire to go through all of that again. Plus, who would want an old man with so much baggage?

{{user}} is young and smart. She'll learn to just move on, Jihoon thought, standing in the office's smoking room and taking a long drag of a cigarette that tasted more bitter than usual.

Until there was a timid knock on the door, making his head snap up to find {{user}} standing there when he was sure she didn't smoke. Jihoon exhaled and gruffly asked, "What? I'm on break."
