After the two lovemaking sessions last night, the wall opposite the bed was dominated by a large framed painting.
She had seen it with Taekyung at the Se-Ahm Art Museum, owned by a famous mountain. It was an abstract painting with sharp lines gathered in white space, forming an indistinct shape.
She didn’t have a deep opinion about the painting as she couldn’t understand the artist’s intention and didn’t like it, so she hadn’t kept it in her mind. But the moment she saw it, she recognized it.
It was a work titled “[Lovers].”
As she was thinking the sound of water she heard a while ago had stopped, he came out.
Standing in front of the bathroom door in the bedroom, Taekyung, who was lightly combing his hair, looked at Wooyeon, who was looking at the painting.
“Do you like it?”
Wooyeon answered.
“No.”
“Do you know how hard I tried to get that?”
“…”
“If you like it later, let me know. I’ll give it to you as a gift.”
“It’s okay.”
She was confident that there would be nothing she liked about the painting.
Taekyung turned away.
Contrary to the expectation that he would disappear into the dressing room, he swiftly walked to the bed where Wooyeon was.
He was completely naked, and Wooyeon had covered her whole body with a quilt, placing both knees together. Even though she wanted to avoid eye contact again, Taekyung’s gaze didn’t permit it.
“Did you sleep well?”
Meeting her eyes, he gently brushed Wooyeon’s left cheek.
“Yes.”
“How about your stomach?”
“Not hungry yet.”
“Can you get up by yourself? If it’s hard, I’ll help you up.”
Wooyeon nodded.
Although her body was somewhat sore from swallowing each other last night, she had no intention of receiving Taekyung’s help.
As always, she could get up on her own.
“President, please change your clothes. I’ll take a shower too. After that, let’s slowly have breakfast.”
“Okay.”
“Yes.”
Blushing, she looked closely at his body, and Taekyung raised the corner of his mouth.
“After eating and coming back, do you want to sleep with me again?”
“No!”
“After searching like that?”
“It’s not like that…”
Soft lips made a sound, slightly kissing.
Wooyeon didn’t like sharing deep kisses before brushing her teeth in the morning, and he seemed used to it now.
It wasn’t a tangled and provocative kiss, but rather a short peck with cute sounds.
Saying it was a morning that matched the title of the painting, he disappeared into the dressing room.
It was just a somewhat bland kiss, but for some reason, her heart sank.
Wooyeon looked at the painting again.
The first contact from the owner of the Beauty Inn was two days after that person.
She couldn’t figure out how they knew her contact information, but what was more curious was why they called her.
She only conveyed the fact that someone wanted to meet her.
On a late Monday night, it was because she could enter the Beauty Inn without accompanying Taekyung.
After guiding her to the room, Wooyeon glanced at the owner quietly following her.
Other than serving meals splendidly, it was painful for her to connect people like this, not to mention that it seemed to be her job.
If the files of the last shooting here were handed over to the prosecutor, the owner of the Beauty Inn would also undergo a thorough investigation.
She couldn’t know what she received in return for doing this, but it probably wasn’t something as simple as people generally thought.
Even though she felt it when she first saw her, as she looked at her more, she seemed to belong to a considerable beauty, and it was a waste to only use that talent for food.
“Why don’t you accept the meal fee?”
Even at Wooyeon’s somewhat poking question, the owner of the Beauty Inn calmly replied without embarrassment.
“I can’t charge money to guests who come to my home.”
“Guests… Is that really all?”
Given that she provided meals and a place, it was unlikely she received nothing. Wooyeon scoffed.
“Yes, that’s all. Now, I’ll bring the meal slowly in 10 minutes.”
With an elegant greeting, Wooyeon stared blankly at her disappearing figure.
He recalled Taekyung’s words, stating that even if a pressure investigation was conducted, the Beauty Inn would receive absolution.
Absolution? He tightly grasped the teacup with his cleanly groomed hands, pressing down on his complicated thoughts.
It was when he tried to focus on the scent of the tea that someone entered through the door.
Surprisingly, it was Cha Woo Kang. Taekyung’s uncle and the only person currently competing with him for the position of the leader of the Myeongsan.
Wooyeon, pretending not to know, rose from her seat and greeted him.
“Hello.”
Perhaps due to his inability to deceive, he, too, inherited the elegant appearance directly from Chairman Cha Jin Soo.
Rather than resembling Taekyung, he bore a striking resemblance to Cha Jae Hee or his mother, Cha Yoon Hwa.
However, while Cha Yoon Hwa had a gracious and kind appearance, he had a face covered in greed.
Even in a single wrinkle, it seemed like the values he had lived by were engraved.
“Yoon Woo Yeon, the anchor?”
“Yes, I’m Yoon Woo Yeon.”
“You were brought here well.”
Cha Woo Kang’s remark, thrown at the owner of the Beauty Inn standing outside the door, was significant.
When asked if she could bring the meal, she replied affirmatively.
Sitting back down, Wooyeon gently tasted the tea. It was to understand his intentions after buying some time.
In the end, it would be due to the competition for shares. After organizing her thoughts, Wooyeon raised her head firmly.
“May I ask why you wanted to see me?”
“Heard that Taekyung partnered with the Wedding Tower this time. Is that right?”
His cheap behavior, starting with informal language, made Wooyeon roll her eyes.
“Yes.”
“And Cha Yoon Hwa in the U.S. has already seen you twice, right?”
“Yes, but…”
Telling a lie of this degree for Taekyung’s goal was nothing.
Not only in front of Cha Yoon Hwa but also in front of his family, Wooyeon had thought about imitating a lover several times.
We are just using each other.
We met because we needed each other, and if that need disappears, we return to our original places.
There’s no need to cry because we haven’t lost anything, and there’s no need to mope in a sense of loss.
I’m too much of a coward, and even at this moment, I repeated to myself thousands of times that I don’t love him.
As she resolved her heart and nodded arrogantly, Cha Woo Kang laughed heartily. Somehow, that smile felt like the owner of a face that enjoyed tormenting people.
Thinking that he must have treated Cha Taekyung with this face all along, it twisted her stomach.
“Exactly what you want to say…”
“More than I thought, I like this feeling. Somehow, Taekyung seems like he’s acting.”
“…”
“If Taekyung wants to defeat me, he’ll have to get shares from his mother. But the Cha Yoon Hwa I know would never willingly hand them over to her son. As you can see, that woman absolutely detests our family.”
It made sense that Cha Yoon Hwa disliked Myeongsan. She didn’t want to push her son Taekyung into the arms of that Myeongsan.
However, the Cha Yoon Hwa Wooyeon met loved Taekyung more than anyone else. In the end, she was the one who would generously give her son what he wanted.
When Wooyeon didn’t respond, Cha Woo Kang continued.
“So, I considered it. If something went on between them, the story might change.”
“It doesn’t concern me…”
“Taekyung is just acting, right? Pretending to be in love with Anchor Yoon and trying to get all the shares from his mother.”
“…”
“Anchor Yoon, surely you don’t naively believe in Cha Taekyung, do you?”

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.]
