She tried to focus on the scenery outside, but the unfamiliar scent of his body kept distracting her. It seemed like the usual heaviness was overlaid with a light scent of body wash.
She didn’t want to be conscious of it. No matter how calm she tried to appear, she couldn’t help being aware that they were alone together.
“What time are you leaving for the meeting tomorrow?”
Da Jeong asked hesitantly.
“Around nine.”
“You don’t have any plans today, right?”
Her voice was cautious. It was difficult to hide her true feelings of looking forward to spending the day together.
She glanced up, and his firm voice hit her ears.
“No. Today is even busier.”
“Ah…….”
His unexpected response made her eyes droop. Da Jeong continued with a faint smile.
“I, I’ll stay quiet so as not to disturb your work.”
“I’m not working.”
“Then……?”
“Today, I plan to be locked in a room with you without moving.”
“…….”
“Which is why I’m busy.”
His voice, firm as if stamping an imprint, caused Da Jeong’s eyes to waver slightly.
Excitement and nervousness mixed, complicating her feelings in an instant. With a heart tangled like knotted thread, Da Jeong looked up at him.
“So we’re going to be together all day today?”
“That’s right.”
His immediate response brought a smile to her lips.
Though she had often found overseas hotels monotonous, today was different. A day spent alone with someone she liked was precious and special.
Even mundane room service was appealing, and leisurely watching a movie sounded nice. Da Jeong spoke with an excited expression.
“If we stay in the room, it might get boring. Should we watch a movie?”
“A movie is good, but…….”
Tae Sang paused, then reached out and gently pulled the curtain. With a swish, a shadow quickly fell over Da Jeong’s face.
“We should go to bed now.”
“I’m not really sleepy.”
“If you stay up working all night without sleep, it’s bad for your health.”
“That’s true, but…….”
The flight Da Jeong operated, while excellent for passengers, was the worst for the crew – a night flight that departed in the evening and flew through the night.
After a sleepless night, unlike the passengers who started their morning refreshed at the destination, the crew had to arrive at the hotel after staying up all night.
Tae Sang looked into Da Jeong’s eyes, tinged with red, and continued.
“Wake up. Let’s sleep a bit, then do everything. Everything you like.”
“……But you haven’t slept either, Vice President. I saw you awake the whole flight.”
Was it because he didn’t understand her desire to be together? Da Jeong’s voice unintentionally came out a bit petulant. Her mumbling tone sounded somewhat adorably whiny.
Realizing too late how her tone might sound, Da Jeong blushed. Fortunately, Tae Sang didn’t seem to take it too seriously.
“Right. I stayed up all night too.”
“So…….”
“So, let’s go to bed now.”
“Huh?”
Tae Sang cut her off, drawing a new conclusion. Da Jeong stared at him blankly, surprised.
His words sounded like he was suggesting they sleep together.
“Yo, you mean sleep together?”
“Since there’s only one bed, we have to.”
Tae Sang pointed toward the open bedroom door.
The suite was composed of a bedroom, a living room, and two bathrooms.
If there’s only one bed, just booking another room would suffice. But considering the man who might have followed her, she couldn’t easily do that.
So, the options were either to sleep together or……
“Then I’ll sleep on the sofa. It’s big enough for me.”
“…….”
Tae Sang scanned her face with a probing look. Her trembling lashes and flushed cheeks caught his eye in turn.
She had clearly misinterpreted his words about sleeping together. He could have cleared up the misunderstanding, but he chose to observe the situation a bit longer.
Her blushing face was too adorable to just tell her outright.
Tae Sang suppressed a smile and spoke seriously.
“What to do. I have no intention of making a hardworking person sleep on the sofa.”
“……I didn’t work hard.”
Da Jeong said in a retreating voice.
“Do you realize I’m your superior when you say that?”
“It’s not that I was slacking off, but you only ordered a single cup of coffee, Vice President. There’s no way we could have been busy with the customer sitting still like a statue. And you look like one too…….”
She unintentionally spoke her mind without thinking.
However, Da Jeong didn’t panic and maintained a calm expression. With such good looks, he must be aware of his own appearance.
“A statue.”
Tae Sang said calmly.
“……Yes. A bit.”
“Then I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
“Huh?”
“Since I’m a statue. A sofa should be enough.”
“No, that’s not what I meant…….”
She gestured frantically, but his lips had already turned up sharply.
The mischievous look, with one corner of his mouth pulled up slightly, was quite teasing. His sharp eyes followed, and his cool face became playfully disheveled.
For a moment, seeing this unfamiliar side of him, Da Jeong’s heart stopped.
Such a sight, such a precious look, she wished it were reserved only for her. Da Jeong spoke as if enchanted.
“Ah, can’t you stop smiling?”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
