Unable to endure it any longer, Juwon’s words popped out, and Minho glanced at Juwon with an annoyed expression.
“Yeah. Take care.”
With a poke in Juwon’s side, Ina greeted Minho.
After Minho left, Juhee also tilted her head and looked at Juwon.
“Hey, really, Juwon, are you… completely meticulous?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Let’s get up. We should go home too.”
“Okay. Just finish this.”
Watching Juhee drink her tea, Juwon lightly held Ina’s hand and looked at her.
When hearts again emerged from Juwon’s eyes, Juhee pretended to retch, saying, “Ugh, I’m going to vomit.”
While watching Juhee, Ina felt embarrassed, but Juwon continued to smile gently at Ina as if it didn’t matter.
A little later, the three people who left the coffee shop headed to Juwon’s house.

Juhee was scheduled to leave by plane the next morning.
Before leaving, when Juhee expressed her desire to spend another night sleeping with Ina, Ina readily agreed.
“Hey, Juwon. Don’t bother us tonight. We’ll be talking all night. Sleep well.”
Just before Juhee and Ina entered the room, Juhee held the doorknob and said.
“Ina, you know you have to go to work tomorrow, right? Talk moderately and go to bed.”
Giving Juwon that look, Juhee looked at Ina and entered the room holding Ina’s hand.
Juhee and Ina discussed various topics, such as where they would go and what they would do the next time they meet, when Ina comes to Japan, and so on, until they fell asleep.
The next morning, Juwon’s car was parked in front of Ina’s company, and Ina hugged Juhee tightly.
“I think you should visit Japan once before having a baby.”
“Sure, come with Juwon. He’ll greet you in Ryohei, and our mom will be very happy to see you.”

“Yeah, I want to meet your mother too. She treated me so well.”
“In the future, she’ll treat you even better. Because you’ll be her daughter-in-law. Hehehe.”
When Juhee wiggled her eyebrows and spoke, Ina’s face turned red.
“Again, saying strange things since the morning. Juhee, you’re late. You should go in quickly.”
After Juwon’s words, Juhee glared at Juwon, then hugged Ina again.
“Our cute Ina, stay healthy and take good care of our baby. Got it?”
“Yeah, got it. You too, be careful going back and stay healthy. I’ll call you often.”
“Yeah, sure. Go in quickly.”
Smiling, Ina held Juhee’s hand once and got out of the car.
“Take care of Juhee and have a good day at work.”

Ina said to Juwon in the driver’s seat, and Juwon reached out and gently stroked Ina’s cheek.
“Yeah, got it. I’ll call you later.”
With a gaze full of affection, Juwon said to Ina.
On the first Friday of November, it drizzled from the morning.
As November came, Ina and Juwon became busier with work, and Juwon had to work overtime all week.
Except for a brief glimpse on Monday night, the two had not seen each other for three days until Friday.
Due to the rain, the streets were damp, and a chilly wind, heralding winter, occasionally blew.
Finishing work about 30 minutes later than usual, Ina, with Eunjung and Sena, headed down to the first floor while chatting.
Opening an umbrella and just about to leave through the main gate, someone called Ina.
It was Juwon.

Wearing black slacks, a black knit, and a dark gray jacket, Juwon held up an umbrella and walked towards Ina.
Ina looked at Juwon with surprised eyes.
I was disappointed just hearing that I might have to work overtime today, but when did he come and wait for me…
As Juwon, like a pictorial, approached closer, Ina’s heart pounded.
Seeing him after three days, he looked even more handsome and charming.
And the sight of Prince Charming with an umbrella made Sena and Eunjeong’s hearts race as well.
Even though he’s not my man, is it okay for my heart to flutter like this…
Juwon walking through the rain felt like a slow-motion scene.
Carrying a black umbrella, Juwon walked up to Ina and greeted Sena and Eunjeong.
“Hello.”
In response, Sena and Eunjeong shyly smiled and exchanged eye greetings.

Juwon deliberately folded the large umbrella he was holding, then smoothly entered Ina’s small umbrella and took it from her hand.
Looking at the height of the umbrella, which rose as high as Juwon, Sena and Eunjeong swallowed their saliva nervously.
“Well, since it’s raining, be careful, and we’ll be on our way.”
With a gentle smile, Juwon exchanged eye greetings, and Sena and Eunjeong hurriedly lowered their heads.
“Yes. Oh, goodbye.”
Ina also greeted the two women in surprise.
“See you on Monday. Sena, Eunjeong.”
“Yes. Take care, Deputy Director.”
Sena’s face, greeting Ina, was filled with envy.
Juwon pulled Ina close, turned his steps, and walked a few steps. After a moment, he put his hand on Ina’s waist, pulled her towards him, and embraced her.

Watching the grand display of affection from afar, Sena and Eunjeong, without deciding who would speak first, trembled with envy.
“Ugh! I’m so envious I might go crazy! I can’t go home like this. Eunjeong, didn’t you say there was no appointment earlier? Since it’s raining, how about a glass of makgeolli?”
“I want to! I want to! Let’s go right now! Us!”
With a spirit ready to drink a whole bottle of makgeolli, Eunjeong shouted.
