The next morning.
Juwon and Hyeju were bickering from the morning.
“Let’s go together in my car.”
“If we commute together, people will only talk about us spending the night together. What if we get caught riding in oppa’s car when there are so many eyes at the company?”
“By now, rumors about us have probably spread throughout the company. Is there anything to hide?”
“It’s not about hiding, it’s about maintaining some level of discretion. Let’s be professional at work, please.”
“Couple rings, how sneaky between you two.”
In response to Hyeju’s stubbornness about going separately even if it meant dying, a vein appeared on Juwon’s forehead.
No, why take the bus when there’s a perfectly good car? They had already announced their relationship at yesterday’s company gathering, so rumors must have spread throughout the company.
There was no need to hide anymore, so Juwon couldn’t understand why Hyeju insisted on it.
“I even wore a tie today to match with you.”
“What does wearing a tie have to do with commuting together?”
“I dressed up. I did it to make you feel special.”
“No, what does oppa wearing a tie have to do with my feeling special?”
“Isn’t this something to be proud of?”
At the words said with a proud expression, Hyeju burst into laughter.
‘Getting cuter and cuter. I think the smell of milk will be coming soon.’
It was just like when a cousin’s child wore a tiny dress and acted like that. It was exactly on that level.
“I want to be the only one who sees oppa’s cool side. So, please keep the tie in place.”
Recalling the experience of asking her cousin’s child for something and giving a peck on the cheek, Hyeju playfully punched Juwon on the cheek.
“Then see you at the office later!”
“Goodbye kiss!”
“We’ll see each other again in a few minutes anyway, what’s the point.”
“Are you really going?”
Thump. Tadaak!
… She really left.
It wasn’t cold, and it wasn’t warm. What on earth is this ‘point’?
She left only a light peck on the cheek, nothing more.
“O Hyeju, you’re impossible.”
If she had grasped it in her hand, Juwon felt that she would have fled without feeling it, and his combat instinct boiled up.
“Lately, I’ve been too lenient on you.”
Having loosened the tie from his neck in one go, he licked his lips slowly.
When pulling it out, you should have at least let me taste the lipstick.
Thinking of the plump lips that seemed to have a refreshing grapefruit scent, Juwon turned his head with a snap.
In his mind, there were about eleven excuses to bring Hyeju to his office floating around.
[Star Icon]When Juwon arrived at the office after tagging the commute, he witnessed a strange scene.
Employees who would usually be preparing to start work at their respective desks were gathered in one place, buzzing with excitement.
“What’s going on?”
Coincidentally, the place they gathered was Hyeju’s seat.
Hyeju was probably on the bus right now.
The fact that employees were gathered around a desk where no one was sitting meant that something had happened. Juwon felt uneasy as he navigated through the crowd.
“Here, Miss Hyeju’s goldfish… ”
One of them pointed at the fish tank with trembling hands. Juwon absentmindedly lowered his gaze.
“…”
In an instant, it was an unavoidable situation even for Juwon, as a chill ran down his spine.
Inside the fish tank, two overturned goldfish floated.
“What happened?”
“We don’t know either. When we arrived at work this morning, we were all surprised to see it like this. The employee sitting next to Hyeju was the first to discover it, and as soon as she saw it, she felt nauseous and ran to the bathroom.”
“Move aside.”
Juwon brought his nose to the fish tank without hesitation. The scent of strong disinfectant hit him.
When he gently shook the fish tank, the water wobbled.
“No spots, no color. Judging by the smell, it’s like mouthwash.”
His bold actions left the surrounding employees in astonishment.
A few of them with pea-sized courage couldn’t even look and turned their heads away.
He didn’t bother asking who did this. He didn’t need to. There was only one person capable of such mischief.
Juwon glanced coolly at Dahee.
While the bizarre events unfolded here like a story from another world, she was immersed in her work. With her gaze fixed on the monitor, she moved her fingers busily, and a feeling of resentment surged within him.
“Should I just kill her, really.”
He knew she was a sinister person, and he also knew that she had never considered Hyeju as a friend. However, he hoped that she wouldn’t harm her in such a direct and blatant way.
Suppressing the urge to immediately smash the fish tank, Juwon’s brain, fueled by supernatural patience, began to spin faster than usual.
‘How can I deal with this nonsense.’
Various scenarios for handling this situation in a rational, legal, and clean manner started to emerge one by one.
At that moment, a cheerful voice came from the direction of the door.
“Good morning! Huh? What’s everyone doing at my seat?”
Hyeju, who came running and was slightly out of breath, appeared.

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.
