That’s right, it’s okay then. She will encounter Min Hyuk less that way.
If she knew she had her own room, she would have bought a bed long ago.
“I knew my luggage was too little.”
Da Hyun thought that Young Suk had thrown most of her stuff away when she sent her luggage.
That’s why she didn’t even look for it, but it was hidden here.
“Just having a room felt like finding a sanctuary.”
A smile naturally crept up to her lips.
She felt relieved to have a private room. But at the same time, she was worried.
She didn’t know how long she had to maintain a marital life with him.
“If something like today happens again, I might have a heart attack.”
Just the fact that she woke up in the same bed as Min Hyuk put a strain on her heart.
Unlike her surprise, he was so calm that she wondered if she was overreacting.
Unlike him who had immunity, she had none. Even if she did, all she had was a conversation with Chan, who was Yul’s twin.
The only men she had encountered in her life were Chan and Min Hyuk. Si Hoon was naturally excluded as she couldn’t remember him.
She remembered Min Hyuk’s words that it would be good for a couple to share a bed. It seemed like he had a scheme, suggesting that it would be good to fulfill this faithfully to avoid misunderstanding from the employee.
“I need to buy a bed.”
Da Hyun clenched her fist, burning with unnecessary determination. If she had known about the room from the first day, she would have spread a blanket on the floor even if it was uncomfortable.
She just had to get up before the employee arrived.
Whatever it was, it was right to keep a distance from him.
After all, it was a relationship that had to end.
However, in her head, the image of his relaxed face from this morning’s sleep tried to float up like a fluffy cloud.
“Stop it! Stop it! Let’s not think about it!”
Da Hyun waved her hands in the air.
What was good about it!
If, just if, she had started a normal relationship and married him, she wouldn’t have had to worry about this.
Da Hyun suddenly clenched her brows at the sharp pain in her chest. Da Hyun, who quickly raised her hand to her chest, gasped.
“I must have been so surprised that it put a strain on my heart.”
She clenched her chest on the left side with her hand, strength in her grip.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s too much when there’s an unfamiliar touch.
Moreover, what should have been just a thought ended up being directly said to him, so it would be strange if her heart wasn’t surprised.
Da Hyun thought the throbbing pain was a side effect of being too surprised.
Da Hyun felt the pain from her chest and waited for it to subside, enduring it alone.
Three days later
Da Hyun made various excuses to Min Hyuk for three days. She pretended to be busy even when she had nothing to do, and didn’t go to the bedroom.
It seemed like he noticed, but he didn’t stop or confront her.
She gave up the soft bed and slept on the floor of the room, not entering the bedroom.
However, after about three days, it felt like my back was going to break, and I had reached my limit. Sleeping on the bare floor with only one blanket was taking a toll on me.
After showering, Da Hyun picked up her mobile phone.
Her forehead, usually smooth from lack of missed calls and text messages, creased.
“What is this about?”
She read a text message from a delivery man saying the bed had arrived at her home, but it had been returned. Stunned, she made a call. However, it wasn’t the delivery man who answered, but an automated voice message.
Da Hyun hung up the phone and hastily headed to the study where Min Hyuk was.
“Mr. Kang Min Hyuk!”
Da Hyun’s shoulders jumped up and down. She didn’t expect the bed to arrive while she was taking a shower.
Had she known this would happen, she would have skipped showering and waited. She had been excited and waiting since she received the call this morning that the bed would arrive in the afternoon.
She didn’t expect it to arrive much earlier than the expected delivery time.
Da Hyun’s hair was not fully dried, and water dripped from it.
She pushed open the slightly ajar study door and stepped in.
His gaze, which had been leisurely fixed on his tablet PC, landed on her.
As if he had been expecting Da Hyun, Min Hyuk calmly curled up the corners of his mouth.
“It’s nice when you run to me, calling my name so desperately, isn’t it? It would be nice if you could come to me calling my name like that more often.”
“Did you return my bed, Min Hyuk?”
“Yeah. If the bed is uncomfortable, I told you to say so. I’ll order a bigger one.”
Da Hyun’s eyes narrowed.
“You know I’m not talking about the bed in my room right now.”
“Did I? I honestly didn’t know.”
At Min Hyuk’s feigned innocence, blinking his eyes rapidly, Da Hyun was at a loss for words.
It was clear that he did this to prevent her from placing a bed in her room.
Min Hyuk’s gaze slipped down to her wet shirt caused by her damp hair, he pursed his lips and avoided her gaze, taking a long breath.
“It’s too much to have separate rooms already when we’re newlyweds, don’t you think? What would the hired help think? We should be overflowing with newlywed vibes.”
Da Hyun was about to argue whether the term ‘newlyweds’ was suitable for their relationship but decided to let it go.
She expected him to use the excuse of the hired help. On the way, she had noticed the suspicious glances from the hired help.
Maybe the help was someone sent by Su Cheol, which is why Min Hyuk was reacting so sensitively, she wondered.
And so, her bed disappeared.
Even if she asked for it to be brought back, she didn’t know what excuse Min Hyuk would use to send it back again.
“Your husband is quite useful at night.”
“What use?”
“Of course, he’s useful in the morning too. Honestly, he’s available all the time, night or day. Curious?”
“No.”
Da Hyun’s eyebrows twitched at his sudden and outoftheblue proposition.
His hand, adorned with a ring, supported his chin as he intently watched the excited Da Hyun.
Da Hyun discreetly averted her gaze.
She didn’t want to understand the meaning behind his words.
At her resolute tone, Min Hyuk flicked his tongue, as if regretful.
“I’d love it if you were curious. Then I could show you right away how useful your husband can be.”
“…….”
“I almost mistook you for being dissatisfied. I thought you might be upset because you wanted the newlywed atmosphere, but I was as wooden as a log. I want to take care of our Da Hyun.”
At his joyful tone, Da Hyun realized she had made a needless move.
“Go dry your hair properly and come back. Or I’ll go. For a moment, I thought you came to tempt me and got excited.”
She should have calmly reordered the bed. He squinted his eyes and traced his lips with his fingers.
“It’s a joke.”
“…….”
“If you don’t like the bed, I’ll request a larger size. Of course, the bed in our bedroom now is big, but if you don’t like it, we can throw it away.”
Da Hyun couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh to the smiling Min Hyuk and closed her mouth.
She couldn’t understand why he was smiling so happily.

“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
