One time, the vibration was loud as if the phone was out, and Young Ju seemed to hastily cut it off.
Why carry it if you’re not going to answer? It felt like something special, stirring his curiosity.
Just then,
The study door opened suddenly, and Seo Ah peeked in.
Ha Joon’s eyes widened.
He must not have heard the knock because of his earphones.
Seo Ah stood awkwardly at the open door, moving her lips.
“I knocked, but there was no response…”
Ha Joon calmly removed his earphones and spoke, shutting off the video and covering his notes,
“What did you say?”
Seo Ah realized he had been wearing earphones and spoke again.
“I knocked, but you didn’t respond, so I thought you were sleeping…”
“Ah, I had some important work to do.”
“Is there still work left?”
“Uh?”
Ha Joon found her question strange. Usually, she would have just left after hearing his usual response. No, she wouldn’t have come to the study at this hour in the first place.
“When are you going to sleep?”
“Why, why? Do you have something to say?”
“No. I’m just worried you’re overworking yourself.”
Unexpectedly moved by her words, Ha Joon’s heart started to race. Was it genuine? Or just a show for the sake of being the perfect wife?
“Are you working because you can’t sleep?”
Seo Ah still stood in the doorway, fiddling with the doorknob as she asked.
“It’s not that.”
Ha Joon’s firm tone made Seo Ah flinch.
She flinched, and so did Ha Joon. He had only intended to assure her so she wouldn’t worry.
“You’ll hurt your body. Get some sleep, even if it’s just a little.”
Then, Ha Joon turned off his laptop and stood up. He had checked nearly half of the content; he would have to leave the rest to Seok Hoon.
He couldn’t stay seated when she had come all the way to the study to check on him, especially since she was still a bit tipsy.
Above all, her innocent face, shyly moving her lips, was too adorable to let her go alone.
He wanted to be with her. He wanted to hold her in his arms.
Seo Ah’s eyes fluttered wildly, surprised that he was stopping his work to be with her.
She had planned to leave him alone in the study after giving him the tea for insomnia.
But as Ha Joon approached her, her eyes widened.
“Your eyes are red.”
Concerned, Seo Ah remarked, to which Ha Joon smiled lightly.
“I’ll be fine after I sleep. Let’s go.”
[Star Icon]As soon as they reached the bedroom, Ha Joon naturally took off his shirt.
Seo Ah, following behind, flinched at the sight of his broad back and deliberately looked away.
Ha Joon lay down on the bed first, and Seo Ah, supposed to turn to the other side, lay down a bit later.
But then,
“Why is the pillow so hard?”
Startled, Seo Ah was about to sit up when she suddenly found herself in his embrace.
“Uncomfortable?”
“No, no…”
Not really. Despite the embarrassment of her face and hands touching his hot bare skin, it felt good.
“If you’re uncomfortable, tell me.”
“Aren’t you uncomfortable? Your arm will get numb…”
“It’s okay. I can only sleep like this.”
Surprised by his unexpected response, Seo Ah’s eyes wavered. She had thought it was just a comfortable position for him, but Ha Joon drove the point home.
Pulling Seo Ah even tighter and entwining her legs with his, he said,
“You said you needed me.”
‘So don’t go anywhere, stay by my side. I’ll do better. Give me a chance to make it up.’
Seo Ah’s heart pounded wildly.
But she felt Ha Joon’s heart beating even more fiercely against her face.
Realizing he genuinely liked her made her breath stop.
As soon as she woke up, Seo Ah felt the urge to quickly confirm the source of the photo with Yeong Ju. She hoped for the morning to come quickly, yet she also wished time would slow down because being in his embrace felt too good.
Sunlight filtering through the blackout curtains woke Seo Ah with a start. Noticing Ha Joon’s absence from the bed, she checked the time and saw it was already 11 AM.
Blinking sleepily at the ceiling, she cuddled the blanket and started to twist her body. She remembered how Ha Joon had stroked her hair and patted her back last night.
Initially, she thought it was a dream, but as she tried to come to her senses, she realized it wasn’t.
After a while of feeling his gentle touch, she had fallen asleep unknowingly.
‘Eek!’
She internally screamed and thrashed about, not knowing how to express her joy.
She wanted to boast to someone, but the only person who came to mind was Yeong Ju, the only one who knew her entire situation.
Yeong Ju also needed to clear up her misunderstanding about Ha Joon soon.
Just then, her phone vibrated.
Was it Yeong Ju? Seo Ah quickly sat up and lit up the phone’s screen.
[Sorry, I’ve been a bit busy recently and couldn’t check. Is it urgent?]It was a response to her text about finding the maid who had given her the chocolates.
Yeong Ju, who had studied with Seo Ah in France, had been busy learning about business at Yu Yeong Group since coming to Korea.
[No, it’s not urgent. Take your time.]
Seo Ah held back her words. She had a lot to ask Yeong Ju, but she felt sorry for burdening her with more work.
The source of the photo didn’t seem important anymore.
It would be nice if the photo was fabricated, but even if not, it wouldn’t matter much.
What’s important now was his feelings for her.
She wanted to believe in what she saw and felt, the emotions that resonated with her heart.
As long as Ha Joon continued to treat her as he does now,

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
