“Madam was worried and suggested that I stay overnight in a room on the first floor.”
“Ah, okay. But why did I do that?”
Seok Hoon looked around. It was time for the helpers to start their shift.
“Let’s go to the study and talk.”
As Ha Joon made his way to the study, Seok Hoon followed.
And then, Seok Hoon lowered his voice significantly and began to speak.
“Do you really not know?”
Seok Hoon had assumed that Ha Joon would surely be aware of his mistake, despite it being an oversight, he would have realized it quickly on his own,
“You drank more wine and medication than usual yesterday…”
“Ah. Wine…”
Ha Joon felt like he had been hit over the head with a hammer. How could he make such a basic mistake?
Normally, Ha Joon didn’t get sick often, and even when he did, he hid it due to his pride. Whether it was body maintenance, study, or work, he was always strict with himself and did not tolerate any mistakes.
Insomnia wasn’t a disease, but a natural consequence of trying to become the owner of a group by reducing sleep. Taking medication was simply an inevitable measure to ensure good condition the next day by getting at least some sleep.
But yesterday…
All of this happened because of Seo Ah. He was so concerned with her every action that this happened. If he hadn’t gone to find her and gone downstairs, he wouldn’t have thought about drinking wine.
Being with her made him feel like a fool. He made mistakes he normally didn’t, and he didn’t act like himself.

“Sigh…”
Ha Joon let out a deep sigh and washed his face with cold water.
“Did you see everything, Seo Ah? She was sleeping here.”
“She left after first aid was done and you fell asleep.”
“Did she say why she did that?”
Seok Hoon bowed his head quickly before Ha Joon had even finished speaking.
“I apologize.”
Ha Joon’s eyes, taken aback, darted around in confusion. Could Seok Hoon, who knew him so well, who, as his secretary, should protect his boss’s pride, have told someone else the truth?!
“She was visibly worried, crying, I had no choice but to tell her the truth.”
Just as Ha Joon was about to lose his temper, the word ‘tears’ made him swallow his rising words.
“She cried?”
“Yes. She was shedding tears like pebbles.”
Seok Hoon recalled Seo Ah looking at him with teary eyes a few hours ago. If he hadn’t told her the truth after seeing that, he would have felt like a bad person.
“Please be careful next time. Seo Ah is no exception.”
No, there shouldn’t have been a next time. He needed to regain his composure. He couldn’t let a single woman ruin him.
((()))
Seo Ah, who usually slept a lot, fell into a deep sleep, thinking she should get up early in the morning and make Ha Joon some soup.
When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find herself lying in bed when she should have been lying on the study floor. Did she really dream it?
When she went straight to the study, Ha Joon was not there. The house was too peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

If one person was sick in her own house, the house would be in chaos for two days, with the entire family in a state of panic to take care of that one person, especially if it was a potentially dangerous situation like difficulty breathing.
Suddenly, she recalled the last thing Seok Hoon had said to her.
Please keep it a secret from others, and don’t let Young Master know. He has a strong pride and dislikes revealing his sick self. Especially if it is due to a mistake, he will be more so.
Everyone can make mistakes, can get sick, is that something to stake one’s pride on?
Even though she didn’t have class in the morning, she needed to leave the house early as she was running short on study time for her exam because she was going to Jeju Island with Ha Joon for 2 nights and 3 days.
Anyway, it seemed like it was largely because of her, because he was paying attention to her, so she felt like she had to do something.
((()))
That night,
Ha Joon arrived home after finishing his work, and was startled by an unfamiliar scent as soon as he opened the front door.
Yeon Suk and the helpers said that Seo Ah had left early again, and as always, Seo Ah was nowhere to be seen.

As he moved to the second floor, the scent became even stronger.
When he went into the bedroom, which had its door wide open, there were department store bags scattered all over the floor, and on the table, there was a full set of tea and diffusers.
Even a cursory glance revealed that they were tea and diffusers that she knew were good for insomnia. These were the things Seo Ah bought from the department store in the morning.
“Haah…….”
With a deep sigh, Ha Joon went into the dressing room, roughly untied his stuffy tie, and quickly put away his accessories by himself.
When he was alone, it was quick. But when with Seo Ah, everything slowed down and he stumbled. He reflected on his hesitating self. He should just do everything by himself in the future.
He was quickly unbuttoning his shirt down to his chest when suddenly,
Clang!
Startled by the sound from outside, Ha Joon’s eyes widened.
Without hesitation, he moved towards the direction of the sound.
Thinking it was the study, he opened the door abruptly and what he saw was disastrous.

Glass fragments were scattered all over the floor and in the middle of it, Seo Ah was squatting down, looking up at him with teary eyes.
Hoping otherwise, he checked her hands and feet for injuries. As expected, blood was flowing from her right hand index finger.
“What are you doing!”
At his booming voice, startled Seo Ah flinched.
“II’m sorry. Don’t, don’t come! You’ll get hurt!”
As Seo Ah tried to pick up another glass shard with her blood dripping hand, Ha Joon, who had already approached her, held her slender wrist and moved her far away from the shards.
Then, he roughly tore off a few pieces of tissue paper, tightly wrapped it around her index finger to stop the bleeding and looked around.
Checking what had been broken, it was a glass cup. A cup that was not in his study, and when he looked above it, there was a thermos on the shelf. It seemed she had brought the insomnia relief tea he saw in his room earlier to have it warm.
“It, it hurts…….”
At her whimpering voice, Ha Joon turned his head to look at Seo Ah.
Seeing her teary eyes and a sad expression, his heart seemed to drop with a thud!
If he had not gone straight to his room and had gone to find Seo Ah in the study, she wouldn’t have been hurt, would she?
If he had just let her help him tidy his clothes as usual,

No, if he had not made mistakes last night in the first place, Seo Ah wouldn’t have prepared all this!
It was a moment when his resolve to stay cool was crumbling down.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
