The sound of rain, which paints the world, is refreshing. Wooyeon was in a hot tub filled with bubbles.
Watching the pouring rain through the wide window was as romantic as appreciating the sunset.
During the remodeling for their honeymoon house, the present bathroom on the first floor, where Wooyeon was now, was something Taekyung specifically asked the architect to pay extra attention to.
Knowing that her constitution made her body cold, Wooyeon enjoyed getting into the tub whenever she could.
Thanks to that, the large bathtub, spacious enough for two adults even to come in together, played its role perfectly.
On weekend mornings, spending time here with a book became Wooyeon’s daily routine.
Her gaze following the printed characters in the book was calm and extremely leisurely.
Last night, she couldn’t read the book she wanted to because she had been held by Taekyung throughout the night.
Still, the fatigue accumulated over the week due to oversleeping had completely disappeared.
“I’m coming in.”
After a short knock, Taekyung entered.
He quietly glanced at the title of the book Wooyeon was reading, then casually sat near the edge of the tub.
His bangs were a little wet. The scent of the shampoo Wooyeon liked, which he must have used in the upstairs bathroom a while ago, vibrated.
“Did you shower?”
“Yeah, just a moment ago.”
“I thought you were sleeping.”
“My cherished doll that I hugged to sleep every night disappeared.”
So Taekyung’s claim that he woke up was amusing. He sighed and smiled, then looked at Wooyeon again.
“When are you going to come out?”
“Well, about 30 more minutes?”
“Can’t be helped.”
“Huh?”
Before she could ask precisely, Taekyung undressed and entered the bathtub. Wooyeon, with surprised eyes, asked.
“You just showered, though?”
“I can shower again. I won’t disturb you.”
Taekyung gently lifted Wooyeon’s body. Without doing anything else, he volunteered to be a cushion so that she could continue reading the book.
Flipping through the pages, Wooyeon, without looking back, spoke to Taekyung, perhaps having just remembered something.
“I got a call from Myeongheon-ga this morning. There’s a family gathering on the 11th of this month. They really want us to attend this time.”
“Persistent.”
“Are you not going this time either?”
“No plans.”
Even with Taekyung’s somewhat cool tone, Wooyeon didn’t waver.
She understood him.
Myeongheon-ga is a large house where the direct family members of Myeongsan live together.
Even when Cha Yunhwa was alive, they consistently excluded Taekyung from all family gatherings because he was thoroughly excluded from the family’s power.
Despite the collapse of Myeongsan, the only thing left for them was to suck up to Taekyung without shame, trying to stick to him.
After Taekyung took over as the chairman, the stock prices of Myeongsan rose sharply just a few months later. They were now trying to reclaim a seat beside Taekyung, eager to gain favor again.
Wooyeon nodded in agreement with Taekyung’s firm response of having no intention to attend.
On the day of his inauguration, he announced that he would revamp the extensive management structure of Myeongsan Group.
He stated that he would focus on discovering professional management personnel rather than executives selected based on academic background or favors.
Furthermore, he revealed that he would provide additional bonuses to all employees based on performance.
He also mentioned a structural change where anyone with the ability could rise from a regular employee to an executive.
Taekyung’s efforts to remove the past image of the owner family, which had been plagued by various tax evasion suspicions and noise, would continue to shine in the future.
At least, in Wooyeon’s eyes, the future of Myeongsan was clear.
Taekyung was a good leader.
“I’ll call you because it seems difficult this time too.”
“Yeah. Don’t exert yourself too much.”
Taekyung’s voice, pulling Wooyeon’s waist closer, sounded somewhat provocative.
No wonder, as the lazy breath clinging to the nape of her neck was deliberately sealed with a kiss.
The rain continued, and the bathroom was hot and sticky like a tropical night.
Under the heated air, Wooyeon leaned her face backward.
She didn’t believe Taekyung’s words that he wouldn’t disturb her in the first place. Whenever his hand touched, Taekyung became irresistible.
Wooyeon pushed the book aside.
The two of them, who had left the bathroom, comfortably moved to the bedroom.
Without caring that the bed would get wet, they tangled with each other, mixing their breaths messily. Only after confirming Taekyung reaching the climax did Wooyeon barely regain her composure.
Without giving her time to feel the aftermath, Taekyung pulled her body close again.
Even though she was exhausted, this time too, he was too absorbed in kissing Wooyeon from head to toe.
In the end, when she laughed lightly and used the excuse of being ticklish to push him away, Wooyeon finally came to her senses.
“Whew…”
“Are you tired?”
“A bit?”
