Do Hyuk’s chopsticks slipped and missed the pancake he was trying to pick up.
Sung Jun quickly caught on to his twitching eyebrows and responded in his place, quick to notice. “You didn’t have time to learn cooking because you were so focused on your studies and work, Your Highness.”
Wow, impressive! He can even package not knowing how to cook like that.
Jaeyin realized once again that the position of a secretary is not just for anyone.
Well, he’s a prince, so he probably didn’t need to prepare anything himself, as someone would do it for him.
After a while, Do Hyuk finished his meal and stood up first.
“I enjoyed the meal. Let’s handle the pending tasks from 10 o’clock,” he said.
“Yes, understood,” Sung Jun replied sharply.
As Do Hyuk’s footsteps faded away, Jaeyin whispered softly, “Director Kim must be really tired, always covering for Team Leader. They work day and night, without rest.”
“It’s okay. It’s been a bit easier lately with Seo Jae In around,” Sung Jun replied.

For Jaeyin, the past week passed like a flickering candle, deepening her worries.
“I worked hard every day,” she said.
“Director Kim has been with Team Leader for a long time, hasn’t he?” she asked.
“Yes, I’ve known him since our father welcomed Chairmannim. It’s been almost 20 years,” he replied.
“Oh, 20 years?”
“I first met His Highness when he was twelve…”
As Sung Jun recalled the past, his gaze wandered into space.
“…he was really cute.”
Jaeyin was taken aback, picturing the face of an adult Do Hyuk as a young child.
That was when Do Hyuk was just a little kid.

It’s hard to imagine.
“Was he still as eccentric… Hmm, is he the same now?”
“He is, in many ways,” Sung Jun replied, carrying a lot of meaning.
“He was truly innocent and tearyeyed.”

Jaeyin chuckled and clapped her hands at his words.
“Oh, come on! I can’t believe it! You must have been quite rebellious.”
“He did have that temperament. There was even a time in middle school when he got scolded by his grandfather and ran away from home.”
Sung Jun seemed to recall those times, narrowing his eyes as he spoke.
“He left a letter telling us not to look for him and came back after a week. Our whole household was turned upside down.”

A week?
Jaeyin’s eyes widened.
“It must have been really tough for you.”
Raising such a headstrong grandson like Chairman Cha did.
“Yes, His Highness went through a lot of hardships.”
Sung Jun’s eyes revealed a hint of sympathy as he reminisced about the past.
Team Leader?
In the brief moment when Jaeyin became curious about what happened to Do Hyuk, Sung Jun tilted his head and asked her.
“By the way, excuse me for asking, but I noticed while tidying up the entrance that there was only one of Seo Jae In’s shoes. Did she happen to lose it somewhere?”
Thump!

Jaeyin dropped the spoon she was holding. She was so surprised by Sung Jun’s unexpected question that she froze.
In the next moment, the incident that she had completely forgotten in the presence of Sung Jun unfolded in front of her like a slide of photographs.
She had momentarily forgotten about that enormous event due to Sung Jun’s appearance.
“Uh, well, it got stuck in a manhole cover and wouldn’t come out…”
To be precise, I couldn’t even think of taking it out.
“Oh my. Are you hurt anywhere?”
“I’m fine.”
“That’s a relief. If you tell me where it is, I can go and…”
“Oh, no! Director Kim, please don’t worry about it!”
Startled, Jaeyin shouted, and Sung Jun smiled as he stepped back.

“Alright then, I understand. By the way, it must have been tough for you to walk here barefoot.”
“…Yes.”
Let’s say that she walked until calluses formed on her feet.
Jaeyin lowered her head deeply, afraid that her blushing face would give her away.
No matter how much she stumbled and got flustered, there was no excuse for forgetting completely.
How on earth did they both manage to forget their shoes, turning them pitch black?
“I can’t believe myself. If someone hears this, they’ll think I did it on purpose.”
Huh?
On purpose?
Suddenly, she remembered what Do Hyuk had said when they got out of the car.

“Seo Jae In, you don’t have shoes.”
Huh?
Team Leader? Could it be?
Did you know that I came here leaving behind one of my shoes?
“Oh, Team Leader probably just remembered while coming. Did you intentionally not bring your shoes? What is the Team Leader up to?”
Even the effort to convince herself faded for a moment.
The moment when she didn’t throw herself into Do Hyuk’s arms continued to haunt Jaeyin’s mind.
A strange tingling sensation ran through her entire body, tickling her spine.
“Should I wake up Seo Jae In? It’s already 9 o’clock on Sunday.”
Sunday morning.

Sung Jun, who had finished preparing breakfast, asked.
A smile formed on Do Hyuk’s lips as he sat at the table, sipping his coffee.
“It seems like I feel better just thinking about Seo Jae In. ”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
