In the dimly lit car, a covert conversation ensued.
“How did it go?”
The person in the driver’s seat handed a tablet to the one in the back seat.
On the screen were photos of Ha Joon and Seo Ah sweetly dating in Daehangno.
“It seems like Kang Ha Joon and Han Seo Ah are genuinely into each other.”
They were the client’s lackeys, tasked with causing a rift between Ha Joon and Seo Ah.
The client’s eyes flickered intensely as they held the tablet. They had secretly sent someone following the news of Ha Joon’s visit to Seo Ah’s school.
Ha Joon’s sensitivity, Seo Ah’s unusual accidents; it was all part of a ploy to test Ha Joon’s reactions.
It was a first for them, acting without using their usual intermediary, Youngju. Doubting Youngju’s assurances about Ha Joon and Seo Ah’s indifference, they felt it necessary to take direct action.
Gripping the tablet tightly, the client trembled slightly.
“People usually behave differently in crowded places, but where the motorcycle passed, it was empty. Even when Ha Joon was harshly hit by the motorcycle’s rearview mirror, he just laughed and continued to play claw machines.”
“Ha.”
The client sighed lightly. Ha Joon having a meal in bustling Daehangno was one thing, but playing claw machines seemed over the top for a mere show.
“Keep an eye on Choi Youngju.”
“Understood.”
“And… we might need to accelerate our plan.”
[Star Icon]In the dressing room, Ha Joon and Seo Ah’s lips were endlessly intertwined.
Consequently, Seo Ah ended up clinging to his neck, but she didn’t want to stop.
She felt she owed him too much for the day, grateful for his heartfelt efforts. She wanted to give him everything in return.
After their lips finally parted, Ha Joon gazed deeply at Seo Ah.
Her face, flushed and eyes half-closed, looking at him, was unbearably adorable.
Unable to resist any longer, Ha Joon lifted her in his arms and headed towards the bedroom.
Though surprised by his sudden urgency, Seo Ah couldn’t help but smile. It was always fascinating and joyous when he showed new facets of himself because of her.
Even in the midst of haste, Ha Joon was careful not to let her legs or head bump into anything, and gently laid her on the bed.
Then, he paused for a moment, admiring his beloved.
To not rush things, to not make her uncomfortable.
“Why……?” Seo Ah asked, noticing his lingering gaze.
“Why else? You’re beautiful,” Ha Joon replied.
A pleasant smile spread across Seo Ah’s lips.
Ha Joon then gently grasped one of her hands.
Looking into her eyes with a warmth in his own, he softly kissed her hand.
Shy yet unflinching, Seo Ah held his gaze.
Ha Joon, bowing his head, pressed his lips tenderly to her forehead, nose, and blushed cheeks.
Seo Ah, her body heated from emotion, tightly embraced Ha Joon, who was trying to remain composed.
It was a moment revealing the limits of Ha Joon’s patience.
Then, the two, closely pressed against each other, desired each other without any restraint.
[Star Icon]Seo Ah, holding the rabbit toy Ha Joon had won for her, lay down using his arm as a pillow.
“Do you like that toy so much?”
“Of course! It’s the first thing Oppa bought for me.”
Ah, it was the first time. Ha Joon sighed softly. It seemed like he had never bought her anything except for formal clothes for public events and their wedding gifts.
“I’m planning to preserve these tulips too!”
Seo Ah pointed to the tulips she arranged in a vase as soon as they got home.
“Preserved? You mean, those flowers that don’t wither?”
“Yes!”
Ha Joon’s heart ached. How much she must cherish these things to go to such lengths.
“I’ll buy you fresh flowers if they wilt. Or, should I buy new ones every day?”
Seo Ah’s eyes widened, and she hastily gestured no.
“No! I just want to remember these because they’re the first flowers I received from you.”
“Hmm… Is there anything else you want?”
“I have enough with just Oppa’s feelings.”
Ha Joon’s heart raced with her unexpected words.
He felt foolish for having ignored such a lovely person until now. He was glad that he could now express his affection freely.
Ha Joon hugged her shoulders tightly and rubbed his cheek against hers.
Tickled, Seo Ah suddenly had a thought and hesitantly spoke up. It felt like the right moment to confess.
“Oppa, I have a confession to make.”
Seo Ah picked up her phone from the nightstand and showed him.
On the screen was a video of Ha Joon intensely trying to win a toy from a claw machine.
“I filmed this to watch alone, but if Oppa doesn’t like it, I’ll delete it…”
Ha Joon watched the video intently. It was a dizzying moment, his restlessness vividly captured.
“Do you want to keep it because it’s funny to see me anxious?”
Seo Ah thought hard. Although that was true, she felt she needed a different reason to keep the video.
“No, more than that… It was touching to see you trying so hard for me?”
Ha Joon squinted his eyes, touching his chin thoughtfully.
“Hmm… Does it sound made up, or is it just me?”
“…”
