Actually, I didn’t expect any particular reaction from Seonwoo.
It was just an impulsive remark driven by the desire to hold onto him for a moment when the face I missed so much was about to turn away. However, now that Seonwoo was looking at her directly, Yoon Seolhee secretly hoped for something more. Even if it wasn’t as much as her own feelings, she wished Seonwoo also considered this meeting a bit special.
“Really?”
However, Seonwoo’s response was too indifferent. There was nothing in Seonwoo’s eyes as he looked at her.
Feeling an inexplicable chill, Yoon Seolhee involuntarily trembled. On the day he proposed, the day he confessed to being an extramarital affair, and even the day she informed him about breaking up, Seonwoo had shown no emotional fluctuations significant enough for her to feel hurt.
But once, she, who was once Seonwoo’s lover, knew. Occasionally, Seonwoo’s eyes sought blind devotion in her.
That one glance willingly drew Yoon Seolhee into Seonwoo. It was pleasant to think that this exceptional man sought affection from her.
If she had been a bit smarter and realized Jinyoungcheol’s trap earlier, or, no, if she had trusted Seonwoo a bit more at that time, how different would things have been, she endlessly regretted.
When she came to Korea, she even considered kneeling and pleading if she happened to meet him by chance. However, looking at Seonwoo’s endlessly indifferent eyes, she realized that all these thoughts were useless.
“Then, I’ll leave first.”
As if not noticing Yoon Seolhee’s state at all, Seonwoo quickly turned and walked toward Ahn Yonggi.
“Se… ”
Yoon Seolhee’s attempt to grab him again stopped in midair. The sound of her calling him never made it out of her mouth.
It was because Seonwoo disappeared in an instant.
Seonwoo, who exited the airport, hurriedly headed home. All that filled his mind was concern for Green.
“Green!”
As soon as he opened the front door, he called his wife’s name. However, the house was silent. Checking the clock, it was a little past 7 in the morning.
“Is she still sleeping?”
Hurrying to the bedroom, it was empty. There was no trace of sleep on the bed from overnight.
At that moment, the sound of the bathroom door opening was heard, and Green, who had just finished showering, came into the bedroom.
“Mr. Seonwoo?”
Green, looking at Seonwoo in front of her as if she couldn’t believe it, just stood there with her mouth open.
Seonwoo approached her step by step and embraced her warmly. Only then did Green, as if realizing that he had truly returned, tightly hugged Seonwoo.
“Is it really, really Mr. Seonwoo?”
Green poured out tears, as if all the sadness she had endured until now had exploded. It was tears that she had endured so far.
Seonwoo gently wiped Green’s back as she sobbed, repeatedly kissing her forehead without pause when her crying subsided. Once Green’s weeping finally abated, Seonwoo playfully asked,
“Did you sleep with Hanna yesterday? The bed looks as it is.”
“I stayed overnight at the studio. My mind was too complicated, and I didn’t think I could sleep. I came back just a while ago.”
“Oh, I see. It must be tiring. Let’s take a nap for now.”
With affectionate eye contact, Seonwoo stroked her head. Green anxiously held onto his sleeve.
“While I’m sleeping, you’re not going anywhere, Seonwoo, right?”
“I’m not going anywhere. I came to see you, so where would I go? Hurry up, wash and come here. I’ll hold you tight and sleep too.”
Only then did a bashful smile appear on Green’s lips.
She ran to the bed and slipped under the covers. Then, as Seonwoo usually did, she patted the spot beside her with her hand.
“Wash quickly and come here.”
Seonwoo, amused by Green’s cute expression, quickly went to the bathroom to wash and returned.
Green, who had drawn blackout curtains to keep out the morning sun, sat leaning against the bedhead, waiting for him.
With drowsiness evident in her eyes, she tried not to fall asleep, rubbing her cheeks with both hands. Seonwoo couldn’t help but burst into laughter at her efforts.
“If you’re sleepy, you should sleep first.”
“How can you say that?”
As she reached out to Seonwoo, he climbed up to her side.
“I’ve already fallen asleep. What if I wake up, and it turns out to be a dream without Seonwoo? If I lie alone in bed.”
Thinking about it made tears well up in Green’s eyes. She still seemed unable to grasp the reality of Seonwoo being next to her instead of being in Marseilles.
Hastily lying down, Seonwoo extended one arm toward her. Green naturally nestled into his embrace, sighing comfortably like a sleepy cat.
“Indeed, Seonwoo’s embrace is the best.”
Seonwoo folded his arm and pulled her toward his body. Then, he kissed Green’s forehead.
“There’s so much I want to say to Seonwoo…”
“Later. After a nap, tell me everything.”
“Okay.”
With a faint smile, Green quickly fell into a deep sleep.
“Did General Manager Jin Seonwoo also come to Korea?”

He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.

What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
