She temporarily forgot the uneasy feeling caused by Namtae. Without even turning on the blinker, Gangwoo suddenly provoked her, causing SeA to widen her eyes in embarrassment before blinking her eyelids.

“Is there a problem with giving it some time?”

With a piercing smile, SeA quickly opened her lips as if she was embarrassed.

A reason why it must be him? He would give various reasons, and although there were countless, he couldn’t think of any because it was so sudden.

“Why don’t you, Mr. Gangwoo?”

“I’ve already said it.”

“When? I don’t remember…”

Because he was so precise, the following words became unclear as SeA wondered if his memory was correct.

“You said it yourself. Regardless of the reason.”

“Oh.”

“Oh?”

A shiver ran down her spine at the more pulled-up, dark corners of his mouth. The unique atmosphere, where a more chilling smile than getting angry emanated from the constantly raised corners of his mouth, made her feel more threatened.

“Why do you care so much about Mr. Doyoung?”

“That brat getting cheeky with you annoys me.”

“That’s absurd. I don’t contact or meet with Mr. Doyoung privately.”
“Of course. People who wander around here and there, whether they are women or men, lack charm.”

“…….”

“Kim Doyoung’s existence alone makes me sick.”

His jealousy was really straightforward. Although he didn’t turn red and jump around like a calf, his lips at the end of SeA’s mouth rose a little on his cold and firm handsome face.

Perhaps now he expects that he likes her a bit more.

“Do you love me?”

“I’ve confessed several times. There’s no woman who confesses as much as I do.”

“Do it more. It’s not enough for a guy lacking affection.”

SeA watched with interest as he placed the towel on the round table with a modest demeanor. She should mention that when he lists the reasons why he likes her, he should also say that. Cha Gangwoo finds even casual gestures that everyone does particularly provocative.

“Why does Mr. Gangwoo think I’m in a rut?”

“Lately, your gaze often wanders elsewhere. When I contact you, most of the time, you send a short reply with a heart attached.”

“…….”

“Even today, you came home and spaced out. And there are people who can’t make up after a fight.”

Unable to speak due to unfairness, SeA couldn’t close her mouth. His eyes, which persistently followed her, became more intense.

“He even initiates skinship only with me. Surely, he doesn’t see me as a teacher or a cohabitant, right?”

“What kind of misunderstanding is that? I’m the one who cares about Mr. Gangwoo possibly being upset!”

She denied it while grabbing her hand as the wind leisurely swept by. Gangwoo’s lips were slightly loosened.

SeA gently pulled Gangwoo’s hand. With a defeated gesture, Gangwoo followed her, unable to resist the small hand leading him to the sofa.

After sitting side by side, Gangwoo turned his upper body lightly toward SeA. Due to the top button of the patient gown being pulled, a masculine line connecting the Adam’s apple was prominent.

SeA, who was carefully examining the sparkling black stripe, saw that Gangwoo’s eyes did not look at all comfortable.

“I understand. Well then, I’ll tell you little by little why I like Mr. Gangwoo. There are too many reasons.”

“You have to explain it thoroughly.”

As if he was very pleased, Gangwoo let his eyelids fall and pushed them back up again.

“As deep as the love is, the heart is narrow.”

At that moment, a white sedan slowly climbed the hill in Seongbuk-dong.

In the back seat, Minyoung looked around with the eyes of a hawk. Surely, just two months ago, she could see the backside of Kang Hyuntae, who was swaggering around.

‘A child with a light bottom. Did he go find another woman during that time?’

There’s no use crying over spilled milk. This saying was specifically about Kang Hyuntae. Minyoung’s nail-biting was visible in the rearview mirror, causing the driver to even be cautious about his breathing.

The car stopped in front of the palace-like house. The sedan headed towards the garage, and Minyoung entered through the front gate. A woman of ordinary build bowed her head to Minyoung.

“Miss, have you come?”

“Has my father come in?”

“Yes.”

“How is his mood?”

“The same as usual.”
“Hmm.”

After showing a peculiar reaction with a soprano voice, Minyoung laughed and patted the aide’s shoulder, friendly intertwining their fists before letting go.

“Anytime you have a hard time, tell me. You know I’m loyal, right?”

“Yes, miss.”

The aide gently brushed Minyoung’s back. Passing through the long and snowy garden, they entered the main building.

The painting Minyoung bought from a gallery during her last investment venture was hanging between the frames.

“You’re here.”

Just as the chairman came out of the bedroom, he welcomed his daughter. Seeing him in casual attire, it seemed he had been off work for quite a while.

“Father, have you had your meal?”

“I was planning to eat when you came. What’s the taste of a meal when eaten alone?”
