Yeon-woo found it strange that only her and Taehan’s names were on the attendance list for the exploration of the site where Taesung Biologics’ Jeju branch was to be established, something she hadn’t heard of before.
“Do you know Director Kim Sung-won’s hometown is Jeju?”
As if aware where Yeon-woo’s gaze had settled, Taehan started speaking.
“His mother is in a nursing home in Jeju.”
“Oh…….”
Realizing the situation, Yeon-woo couldn’t respond, and Taehan gestured as if to say ‘Go on, then,’ after which she handed him back the tablet and returned to her seat. She glanced at Sung-won next to her and then turned to look out the window.
The fluffy clouds below seemed so soft.
Her focus should have been on the conference, but her mind was already on the site exploration.
Upon arriving in Jeju, the trio sent their luggage to the hotel and went straight to the research conference.

After the first part, they were attending the second part, focusing on future business areas in renewable energy, a critical topic for Taesung Biologics, which was already establishing a mega-hub.
“President, please sit here.”
Sung-won, having reserved seats at the back due to their late arrival, quickly ushered Taehan to his seat. Yeon-woo followed and took in the scene of the conference hall.
‘It’s like something out of a movie.’
The half-moon-shaped table was equipped with individual monitors and microphones. The attendees listened to the presentations with serious expressions.
The intensely focused atmosphere was a fresh shock to Yeon-woo, despite her five years as Taehan’s secretary.
Quietly sitting down, Yeon-woo watched Taehan read the materials prepared by Sung-won.
She felt a bit ashamed for being resentful about being brought to the conference, knowing she’d soon resign.
“Yeon-woo, go and bring three lunch boxes. Remember the entrance we came through? Just go opposite to that and show your invitation.”
“Okay.”

Yeon-woo quickly left the hall to fetch the lunch boxes, as Sung-won instructed.
“Hello.”
She showed her invitation and signed the list at the lunch box distribution point.
However, it was a struggle to manage the lunch boxes and water bottles together.
She decided to carry the lunch boxes first but was hit with the smell of rice as soon as she lifted them.
‘Ugh….’
Yeon-woo turned her head and tried not to breathe, thankful she had taken anti-nausea medicine before boarding the plane. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
After successfully delivering the lunch boxes and water, her unsettled stomach didn’t calm down.
“Aren’t you eating, Yeon-woo?”
Later, Sung-won asked her as Taehan, eating his lunch and browsing through documents, looked up at her.

“Ah, no. I don’t feel like eating.”
Caught off guard by Taehan’s gaze, Yeon-woo was uncharacteristically flustered.
“I guess I ate too much of the delicious sandwich on the plane.”
“That was tasty, but to be full from just that? You’re not eating enough.”
Between them, Sung-won chuckled, and Yeon-woo and Taehan’s eyes met again briefly before she quickly turned away.
The conference ended after three hours.
As they left, the sunset painted a different sky than Seoul’s, and Yeon-woo paused to admire it.
“Rest up. Make sure you have a good dinner tonight. You skipped lunch.”
“Okay. Don’t worry.”
Taehan and Sung-won had a brief meeting and dinner planned, as the conference had various corporate attendees and some scheduled events.
Ultimately, Yeon-woo, who hadn’t even touched the lunch box, smiled at Sung-won, who was worried about her. She felt sorry for being alone in the hotel room, resting.

As if she had been tense the whole time, Yeon-woo sighed deeply once left alone in the hotel room. She had desperately held back the nausea from the smell of the lunch box.
After showering, she felt lighter. Reminding herself that she came to Jeju for educational purposes, Yeon-woo took out the materials she received at the conference and sat down to read them. Though she planned to resign, it would be helpful to learn for handing over her duties.
‘Starting to feel hungry.’
While reading the materials, Yeon-woo rubbed her flat stomach. She felt hungry, but her stomach, once upset, seemed incapable of accepting other foods. The sandwich she ate on the plane was fine, so she thought of getting that as she was about to get up.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Yeon-woo opened the door with a puzzled expression, not expecting anyone.
“Who……”
And there stood Taehan between the opening doors, causing Yeon-woo’s eyes to widen in surprise.
“President?”
Taehan, who should have gone to dinner with Sung-won, was standing outside her door. He silently handed her a white plastic bag, which surprisingly contained sandwiches, salad, and medicine.

“I told you to take care of yourself before coming to Jeju. What is this about not worrying?”
His voice was quite sharp. It seemed he had noticed she hadn’t eaten her lunch box.
