“Come into my house.”
A simple suggestion. However, at the shocking proposal, Seol Hee’s eyes widened.
“My house? You mean your house, Professor Ok?”
Now, with me, cohabitation, is that what you’re suggesting?
Unable to speak, Seol Hee’s lips twitched in surprise. However, for someone who had just made such an astounding statement, Eun Woo’s expression was serene.
“Yes. You’ll probably like it. It’s a building where you can also keep a dog, and it’s close to the hospital.”
“No matter what.”
Of course, she wanted to bring Gomgom home immediately. But even so, how could she live in the same house with him. Seol Hee’s eyes trembled slightly with surprise.
“I don’t think I can. No matter how urgent the situation is.”
The man in front of her, Ok Eun Woo, was obviously a man. Not just any man. Too handsome, even Seol Hee who was scared of him as her boss, saw him as an excessively handsome man. He tilted his head to understand what Seol Hee was saying.
His face came closer to her. Shining eyes below slightly disheveled hair from the long treatment before.
Under the hospital’s dim fluorescent light, his beauty was ruthless.
Live in the same house with such a man? Cohabitation before marriage…?
Seeing Seol Hee blushing with embarrassment, he tilted his head. His neck muscles popped out attractively.
“Why? Do you dislike me that much?”
Eun Woo frowned and mumbled.
“Not that I dislike you, but there are societal norms to consider.”
Even now, her heart was pounding like this, she thought she wouldn’t be able to endure seeing him 24 hours a day.
Then, this time, Eun Woo’s expression changed to ‘what on earth is she talking about.’ He tilted his head this way and that, then gave a short chuckle. His furrowed brows relaxed.
“Ms. Seol Hee.”
“Yes?”
“Even if I’m a crazy guy, I’m not crazy enough to suddenly suggest cohabitation to Ms. Yu Seol Hee.”
How on earth could I
His mouth twitched, trying to suppress either laughter or disbelief.
“I told you to move into my property.”
“Your property?”
“I have a studio apartment near the company. As I mentioned before, it’s a building where you can also keep a dog, and it’s close to the hospital. The lease is ending soon. So, I thought it would be good.”
“So, in that house……”
“I don’t live there. It’s vacant.”
“Ah.”
Ah. Ahhhhhh.
That’s what he meant. She finally understood the situation. At the ridiculous misunderstanding, Seol Hee’s face flushed red.
What was I thinking? Even if Professor Ok and I are currently pretending to be lovers, there’s no way he would suggest living together. Professor Ok is not such a weird person.
Her lips twitched and she whispered in a choked voice.
“I’m, I’m sorry. I misunderstood.”
He raised his hand and touched his forehead. Perhaps he was having a headache. He covered his face and then whispered after a while.
“…It’s okay. It seems I spoke ambiguously. I didn’t expect you to perceive it as me asking you to move into my house.”
So, you thought Professor Ok was crazy.
I was the one who’s crazy.
“So, do you want to go see the house?”
“Ah……”
What should I do.
Having regained her senses after getting over the shock of the earlier misunderstanding, she thought about it.
Professor Ok owns a studio apartment. It’s dogfriendly and close to the hospital. She hadn’t asked about the rent yet, but it seemed like a decent deal.
But it’s Professor Ok’s house.
Of course, he wasn’t going to live there, but the landlord was Professor Ok Eun Woo. Would that be okay? She was already entangled with him in various, unpleasant ways. Now to add landlord and tenant to the mix.
It seemed a bit off. She wasn’t keen on having her boss as a landlord. Seol Hee slowly shook her head.
“I’ll look a bit more. I don’t want to be so dependent. I’ll probably find something. It’ll just take some time.”
“I see, okay.”
He responded coolly.
((()))((()))((()))
“I’ll look a bit more. I don’t want to be so dependent. I’ll probably find something. It’ll just take some time.”
She had spoken so confidently. Seol Hee had frantically inquired in many places, pounding the pavement, but in the end, the house was not found. Worrying about what to do, the time for the weekend date came around.
This was the last date before going to the friend gathering. Last time, Eun Woo had chosen the date location, so this time, it was Seol Hee’s turn to decide.
Inside the car heading home. They exchanged small talk as usual.
“What would you like to do?”
“Hmm.”
“Next Saturday is the friend gathering, so we should become more familiar with each other before that.”
She had never really thought about what to do on a date. On top of that, the last date was so enjoyable. The zoo that he had taken her to was incredibly fun, she couldn’t think of anything else that could be as fun.
“What would be good?”
“What did you usually do on dates in the past?”
Past dates.

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
