Whispers of Euphoria | Lee Min Ho | Fanfiction

Chapter 9: "Beyond Words: The Language of Hearts"

As Aromi's journey as an interpreter at MYM Entertainment continued, her friendship with Lee Min Ho grew deeper and more meaningful. They spent time together both at work and during their leisure moments, sharing laughter and inside jokes. Lee Min Ho found himself looking forward to their interactions each day, and he admired Aromi's dedication and passion for her work.

However, as the days passed, Lee Min Ho couldn't shake the feeling of unease whenever he saw Choi Jin Hae trying to flirt with Aromi. He noticed how Choi Jin Hae would frequently compliment her and attempt to engage in playful banter. The sight ignited a sense of possessiveness within him, one he didn't fully understand.

**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "Why does it bother me so much? She's just a colleague, a friend. It's probably because we spend so much time together at work."

Lee Min Ho tried to push aside his feelings, convincing himself that it was nothing more than friendly concern for Aromi's well-being. He buried himself in his busy schedule of shootings and promotions, hoping that the distraction would help him forget the strange emotions he was experiencing.

As weeks went by, Aromi was assigned to work on a significant project, and Choi Jin Hae was chosen as her partner. Lee Min Ho couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy when he saw them working closely together, discussing ideas and exchanging smiles.

**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "I shouldn't feel this way. They are colleagues, and they need to collaborate. It's just work."

However, no matter how much he tried to convince himself, he couldn't shake off the growing discomfort in his heart. The thought of Aromi sharing her time and attention with someone else made him uneasy.

**Lee Min Ho:** (confused) "Why am I feeling like this? I should be happy for her success and her growing connections at work."

Amidst the swirl of emotions, Lee Min Ho tried to maintain a supportive front for Aromi. He continued to be there for her when she needed advice or encouragement, offering a listening ear whenever she needed to vent her frustrations.

But one day, as he stepped into the company, he overheard a conversation between Aromi and Choi Jin Hae, and jealousy surged within him. The casual tone and laughter in their exchange made him realize just how much he cared about her.

Determined to suppress his jealousy, Lee Min Ho decided to take his mind off the matter by throwing himself into work even more intensely. However, the competitive side of him couldn't help but assign Aromi and Choi Jin Hae a challenging project, wanting to see how they would handle the pressure.

**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself, trying to rationalize) "It's not about wanting them to fail; it's just about testing their capabilities. Yeah, that's it."

As the project progressed, Lee Min Ho's heart wavered between wanting the best for Aromi and feeling a strange sense of satisfaction whenever he saw her skillfully handling the challenges. It was as if he wanted her to succeed, but he also couldn't bear to see her share her success with someone else.

**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "What is happening to me? Why am I being so possessive? She deserves to be happy and successful, no matter who she works with."

Caught in a web of conflicting emotions, Lee Min Ho found himself in a state of introspection. He realized that his feelings for Aromi were becoming more than just friendship, but he was also afraid of risking their bond by confessing.

**Lee Min Ho:** (to himself) "I can't ruin what we have. I value our friendship too much to let my feelings jeopardize it."

As days turned into weeks, Lee Min Ho struggled to navigate the complexity of his emotions. He continued to support Aromi wholeheartedly, all the while trying to come to terms with his own feelings.
