He was teasing me.

He was absolutely teasing me.

Otherwise, why would he stay mute and seem hesitant when I asked him if he did not need me to accompany him to the hospital? Why would he ask me if it was my first time taking care of someone with his peculiarly husky voice while standing behind me?

When we were having ice cream, those eyes of his that were fixed on me, seemingly focused and sinful as if suppressing something that was on the brink of exploding.

The car cruised along the winding road up the hill. The peaceful twilight enveloped the endless greenery surrounding us. Currently, my heart was tense like a twisted rope.

The man beside me was focused on driving. He seeme to be pondering about the development of the case without saying a word. I obviously knew that now was not the time to think about such things, yet he was like a gleaming body of electricity that I could no longer ignore.

Sure, I could be overanalyzing it. Come to think of it, the things he said actually seemed fairly normal. What got to me was his gaze, his appearance, and all that indescribable, unclear, romancing exchange. Yet, it was exactly because it was unclear that I could not be sure. What if I were just imagining things?

“Okay, it looks good now.”

His comment injected a hint of sweetness into my heart. However, he remained focused ahead with a stern look as he shut off the engine.
