Hajun, who had been struggling to hold onto his increasingly dizzy mind, took a step back, solemnly promising not to touch her body. About an hour had passed like that.
After finishing the workout, Seoa soothed her surprised muscles with stretching. Unable to stand for stretches due to fatigue in her legs, she ended up sprawled on the mat, merging with it.
“Haa…”
Seoa’s breath, which was caught, focused on Hajun, who was concentrating on the workout with rapid breathing.
Hajun, while instructing Seoa, ended up doing additional exercises due to his lack of enthusiasm.
Soon, sitting up with her upper body, Seoa, with her chin in her hands, gazed at Hajun intensely.
Exercising without using his arms seemed cooler. No, would it look even cooler if he used his arms?
But at that moment, Seoa’s mouth hung wide open. This was because Hajun had casually discarded the sweat-soaked upper garment.
Then, sitting on the apparatus and breathing heavily, she grabbed the water bottle beside her, drank it eagerly, and her sweat-drenched neckline flowed down her throat, making the beads of sweat tremble. Nevertheless, was it not too much for him to strain his injured arm?
Soon, Seoa approached him after regaining her composure.
“Hmm, isn’t it too much to push yourself with the uncomfortable arm?”
“Haa… I need to work hard not to disappoint you, my dear.”
Seoa, with a face full of question marks, blinked her large eyes after Hajun made an odd statement.
“What does that mean?”
“My dear, you like my body. You would be disappointed seeing my muscles gone, wouldn’t you?”
“What are you talking about! Even if I did, wouldn’t I not have understood that I caused the injury?”
Hajun, observing Seoa’s surprised face with satisfaction, opened his mouth.
“It’s a joke, it’s because of me. I like exercising, and I need to be fit to protect you. Besides, I want to show my dear only impressive things.”
“Even if you lose all your muscles and gain a little belly, it’s okay…”
Seoa spoke shyly while fidgeting, making Hajun’s gaze become warm.
Soon, Hajun put down the water bottle he was holding and pulled Seoa toward him, standing her between his legs.
“What should I do? I don’t think I’m okay.”
At his serious tone, Seoa blinked her large eyes. What could be not okay?
“I hope my dear exercises regularly.”
“Ah…”
Seoa’s clear eyes shook relentlessly. Even if she liked her own figure, was it okay to say it so openly?
However, he unexpectedly continued with his words.
“I want to live healthily and happily with my dear for a very, very long time.”
Ah, from that perspective. Embarrassed that she had momentarily misunderstood him, Seoa sat on his thigh and hugged his neck with both arms.
“I will. I’ll exercise regularly. I also want to live happily with you for a long, long time.”
Hajun was pleased that she felt the same way, but he felt extremely embarrassed when she buried her face in his neck, considering how much he had sweated.
“I’ve sweated a lot…”
As Hajun spoke, moving his upper body slightly backward, Seoa pulled him even closer.
“So what? I love my dear, even the sweat.”
From earlier, Hajun’s heart, which had been beating vigorously, began to ache. He needed to endure, considering how hard she was working for the first time in this unfamiliar workout. Yet, her affectionate gestures were making it challenging to resist.
“Shall we go wash up?”
Seoa nodded slightly, and Hajun, using only his left arm, embraced her and headed towards the shower room.
Seoa understood that it meant more than just going to wash up. Exhausted and unable to stand any longer, she had no strength left, but his current appearance was too provocative, and she couldn’t refuse. No, she didn’t want to refuse.
One month later,
S Group was thoroughly ruined.
The stock prices plummeted instantly, followed by a consumer boycott. Employees exposed the company’s long-standing bullying, harassment, and other misdeeds, leading to resignations one after another.
As Hajun had predicted, the spark he ignited had turned into a fierce blaze.
Youngju recently regained consciousness and was in the process of recovery. Once she was sufficiently recovered, the trial would proceed.
Thus, Jongwon became not a murderer but an attempted murderer. However, besides numerous other wrongdoings, he received a prison sentence of life imprisonment in the first trial, mainly due to drug tests confirming positive results. Over the past eight years, nearly twenty companies, including the Yoo family, suffered damages, amounting to almost 500 billion won. The likelihood of a reduced sentence was low.
The broker organization that helped them prospered.
Originally operating covertly, they effortlessly seized the opportunity by mobilizing their organization when they gave the excuse of competing with Seoa’s kidnapper. This left the roads in chaos, making it easy to apprehend the criminals.
Seoa knew that Youngju regaining consciousness was a great relief.
