Ina, who had never experienced a big fight or been extremely angry in her life, considered the confrontation with Minsuji a significant event.
Fortunately, the sense of duty to protect her man suddenly came over her, and thanks to that, Ina was able to confront her so boldly.
Did I have such a sharp corner inside me? Along with the surprise, her stomach churned, and her head began to ache.
Ina took a deep breath, touching her face.
Her cheeks felt as hot as if they were on fire.
Looking at her face, reddened like a tomato, in the elevator mirror, she sighed deeply.
“Huh, what the hell is this really all about…”
It was something that could happen in a morning drama, fighting over a man, and I was the one doing it…
Perhaps if it had lasted a little longer, we might have fought each other, grabbing each other’s hair…
“Ha…”
Ina grabbed her throbbing head, and the elevator arrived at the 24th floor. Ina, heading to room 2402 with determined steps, held the card key against the entrance door, and it opened. After glancing at the quiet house, Ina quietly took off her shoes and went up to the living room. Without turning on the lights, Ina, who walked to the sofa, put down her handbag and sank into the sofa.
Leaning her head against the back of the sofa, Ina closed her eyes, and her head continued to throb painfully. Various thoughts swirled in her mind like tangled threads. The complex emotions tangled up like a twisted yarn suddenly sank, and intense fatigue overwhelmed her.
Perhaps the physical consumption due to the nerve-wracking confrontation with Minsuji was more severe than she thought. With a feeling of being completely drained, Ina, closing her eyes, felt as if she were being dragged into the depths of the abyss and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.
How long had she slept… Suddenly, the sound of the entrance door opening made Ina startle, and she opened her eyes. Juwon, who had come up to the living room, quickly turned on the lights upon seeing Ina sitting on the sofa.
“What’s this? Why weren’t the lights on, and what were you doing?”
“Huh? I was sitting for a moment and must have unknowingly fallen asleep.”
Juwon squinted his eyes, came over to Ina, sat down next to her, and touched her forehead.
“Why? Is something wrong? Are you hurting somewhere?”
“Huh? No, I’m not. I’m not in pain.”
But Juwon looked at Ina with a gaze full of concern.
“Then what happened at work? I was worried because you didn’t answer the phone.”
“Oh… I think I set it to vibrate, so I didn’t hear it. It was in my handbag.”
After staring at Ina, Juwon gently touched her cheek.
“You don’t look good… Is there really no pain anywhere?”
“No, I’m really fine. I’m just a bit tired, that’s all.”
Juwon stared at Ina silently for a moment, then pulled her into a hug.
As Ina, nestled in his broad embrace, stayed quiet, she spoke softly.
“You must be even more tired, working overtime… I was a bit thoughtless, wasn’t I?”
After releasing Ina, Juwon looked into her eyes intently.
“No, I’m not tired at all. I feel energetic just by thinking about you. You know, when you look at me, my strength just bursts, right?”
At Juwon’s words, Ina burst into laughter.
Juwon took off his jacket and placed it on the sofa, saying,
“So you didn’t eat dinner either?”
“Not really, didn’t think about it.”
“No thought about dinner?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Well? Just…”
“Not just anyone, but Seo Ina doesn’t think about dinner?”
Ina squinted at Juwon.
“No, well… do I have to think about dinner?”
“Yeah. You have to.”
“Why?”
“You’re already thin, and not eating here will make you even skinnier.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“I know because I touched you everywhere.”
Ina’s face turned red at the sudden remark.
“What, what are you saying?”
As Juwon headed to the kitchen, he rolled up his sleeves.
“Let’s eat something, even if it’s simple. I’ll eat with you.”
“I really didn’t think about it…”
“No, you have to. Eat a little, at least.”
Juwon said firmly as he went to the sink.
While watching Juwon’s back as he set up a simple dinner after washing his hands, Ina became lost in thought. To think someone would try to take away my wonderful and considerate man… It’s hilarious, really! As she chuckled, memories of Suji’s determined expression and the words she had spoken suddenly crossed Ina’s mind, causing her to bite her lip.
What if she comes again next time? What if she meets Juwon the next time she comes… What would happen then? Lost in troubling thoughts, Ina heard Juwon’s voice.
“Hurry up and come. Let’s eat.”
Unable to resist Juwon’s smiling gesture, Ina stood up with a puzzled expression. After washing her hands in the bathroom, she found a neatly prepared dinner on the table, consisting of beef soup and a few side dishes.
“I only put a little rice, so eat it all. Got it?”
Handing Ina a spoon, Juwon smiled and spoke. Instead of responding, Ina looked at Juwon. In Juwon’s gaze directed at her, there was a profound affection.
Seeing that gaze, suddenly the words Minsuji had said came to her mind—whenever she looked at Juwon, honey seemed to drip from her eyes.
“Why?”
When Juwon asked Ina, who was staring at him intently, Ina sat up and approached Juwon’s face.
“Juwon.”
“Yeah?”
“Is there honey in my eyes?”
“What?”
“When I look at you, does honey drip from my eyes or not?”
Taken aback by the sudden question, Juwon looked at Ina with narrowed eyes.
“What’s all this about suddenly?”
“Just… I was curious if, like you said, honey drips when I look at you, does it also happen when you look at me?”
Placing the spoon down, Juwon tilted his head, smiling.
“Why are you suddenly curious about that?”
“Huh? Just…”
Putting down her spoon, Ina made a sulky expression.
After a short sigh, Juwon touched Ina’s cheek and stared into her eyes.
“What does it matter if honey drips from someone’s eyes? I’m diligently producing enough honey for you, so stop worrying about it and eat your meal quickly. Go on.”
With that, Juwon handed Ina the spoon again.
