“Why are you giving me this…?”
Is this some kind of favor? Ju Won would never do something like this for me.
“If you roam the streets in that condition, you’ll attract attention everywhere you go.”
…Well, I guess that’s true.
Hye Ju couldn’t figure out how to respond to a seemingly favorlike, but not quite favorlike, statement. She looked down at the blouse she had burst open. It did look like a stain.
“Thank you.”
Nod.
Ju Won elegantly nodded his head once.
Hye Ju put the sweater on top of the blouse. A blue sweater on a blue skirt. As she tried a fashion she had never worn before, a laughterlike sound reached her ears, instantly shattering her confidence.
“It’s like crayons.”

Pic, Ju Won smirked and turned around. As she watched his back leaving through the open door, Hye Ju clenched her fist.
“Even if you say the same thing, can’t you say it nicely? I’ll just smear crayons all over your nephew. Ugh.”
She almost threw it away but managed to hold back.
Thanks to that, she was able to conceal the mess her blouse had become, so she was grateful.
To Kang Ju Won, for the first time.
“So, you caused a commotion from the morning with your crayon fashion. You were walking down Gangnamdaero in full glory, and your face was so redhot that I thought you were going to die.”
“Heh, crayon fashion, just thinking about it is hilarious.”
“It’s not funny at all. I seriously wanted to disappear into the ground.”
After work, Hye Ju met Da Hee and was venting about what happened today. Meeting at the old noisy restaurant after such a long time made it feel like they had gone back in time.
“Where is that outfit now?”

“In my bag. Luckily, I had spare clothes at the office, so I changed right away. I’ll have to wash it and return it.”
“What a waste. It was a chance to see Oh Hye ju’s crayon fashion.”
“Never mind. Let it go.”
Da Hee chuckled and picked off a fish cake skewer from the front plate. Hye ju filled Da Hee’s empty glass with soju.
“By the way, it’s surprising how proactive Kang Ju Won is. I thought he would dislike the Buddy program or something.”
“He’s not just proactive; he’s a fullfledged believer. He went on a long speech about the purpose and necessity of the Buddy program.”
“Don’t you like him?”
“Phew!”
Hye ju choked on a halfeaten fish cake stuck in her throat.
“Why is the conversation flowing in that direction?”

“That’s how it is. He was proactive in the Buddy program, which doesn’t suit his character, and even took him to a restaurant instead of just taking pictures and parting ways. He even took off his clothes.”
“He probably wants to adapt to the company culture since he recently took over as the CEO. He took him to the restaurant because he needed a hangover cure. Would you go eat seolleongtang with a girl you like?”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
Da Hee’s expression turned sharp as she nodded her head.
“How about you?”
“Me? What about me?”
“You must have enjoyed being buddies with the guy you like, right? No?”
“Not really.”
Hye ju, who had completely forgotten about her bombshell statement that she liked Ju Won in front of Da Hee, felt embarrassed and added hastily.
“I’ve changed my mind now. So, don’t involve me with Kang Ju Won anymore.”

“Why are you getting so upset about it? Don’t you even want to talk about it?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to…”
Yeah, that’s right. What kind of feeling is this?
Hye ju ruminated on her thoughts while fiddling with the fish cake. Every time Ju Won’s name came up, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
It felt like being caught in a lie.
It seemed like Da Hee had lied about liking Ju Won.
“It’s not that I dislike him, it’s just uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable creating dark history in front of Kang Ju Won, the CEO.”
Da Hee nodded as if she understood.
The two of them tilted their glasses back and forth, talking about work at the company.
Although they were in different teams, the company was not large enough for them not to know about each other’s team members or the circumstances of the company.

Da Hee casually chuckled when she heard that Ruby, who had been chosen as Ju Won’s Buddy, had an upset stomach.
“Seems like she had a pretty bad upset stomach. Poor thing.”
“Poor thing?”
Hye ju was slightly surprised and asked. Da Hee, feeling embarrassed, explained defensively.
“Well… her usual behavior is a bit like that. Haven’t you noticed?”
“What do you mean? I have no idea. I thought Ruby was very cheerful and positive. What about me?”
“I don’t like her gaze.”
“Why her gaze?”
“She looks so selfassured, like someone who lives alone in the world. She’s got a serious princess syndrome. Because everyone around her treats her like she’s beautiful, she thinks she’s a real princess.”
Hye ju was a little taken aback by Da Hee’s first gossiping about someone. And the person in question was none other than Ruby, a colleague in the business department, who was friendly with Hye ju.

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.

“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.]
