“I really think I can give everything.”

How can that be? You.

How can you firm up your heart so firmly with this frail body?

Her confession was more than just words. Hansoeun was always sincere and earnest in everything.

So, even though it was overwhelming, it also became stifling.

You really did that. You willingly let go of yourself in the past love while bravely loving.

What will you give me now? Will you give me a strand of hair? Will you tear out your heart?

“No. Don’t give me anything.”

I wanted anything, but I couldn’t receive anything.

Now you shouldn’t be in pain.

Now, you should become a woman who is completely happy without anything being taken away.

“I won’t accept it. I won’t accept anything.”

As if unable to overcome the effects of alcohol, he earnestly conveyed his sincere feelings above her closed eyes.

“Han Soeun, you’re not mine.”

“…….”
“That belongs to no one. Hansoeun is just Hansoeun.”

“…Director, you said you’re mine.”

Remembering yesterday’s conversation, Soeun retorted.

“So, are you mine too, Director? Am I also mine?”

Even in the midst of her speech being shortened due to the effects of alcohol, she looked cute beyond endurance.

“Yeah.”

“…”

“So, now, don’t give yourself to anyone.”

You don’t have to give anything anymore.

You, who don’t know how kind you are, I hope your kindness will be dulled forever. I hope the world is overflowing with good people. Even so, you will always shine the brightest.

The next morning.

In Soeun’s blurry vision, a handsome man and a tempting, savory smell entered.

“Is the alcohol not worn off yet?”

Approaching with a voice that seemed to tease, the man who provided the splendid view sat down next to her. Thanks to him, Soeun’s mind immediately returned to reality.

“…Good morning.”

“Follow along. Did you sleep well? Oppa.”

“Slept well? Oh…”

“Oppa.”

Unable to elicit the desired answer, Taejun chuckled and sat next to her, patting Soeun’s forehead.

“How do you feel inside?”

“I’m fine.”

“Headache. No hangover?”

“It’s really strong.”

For two consecutive days, from morning, seeing the face of the person she liked, it seemed like she wouldn’t feel any pain even if there was any. Taejun got up from his seat, having relieved worries. Only then did Soeun quickly follow him, standing next to him. On the kitchen counter, there were familiar kimbap and dried pollack soup.

“I ordered from that kimbap place you like for delivery in the morning. Is it okay?”

Who is the owner, and who is the guest?

Once again, she regretted that the hospitality was one step late today. She couldn’t find any gaps to sneak in to treat the person she wanted to treat the most in the world.

“Yes. But, Director, next time, could you please wake up a bit later?”

“Why?”

“I want to take care of you too, Director, but you always move faster than me.”

“Do you remember what happened yesterday, Hansoeun?”

Ignoring the earnest request, he asked another question. Soeun giggled and answered with a lack of confidence.

“I remember coming home.”

“What happened after that?”

“…”

“Ha. You don’t remember that I was really cute yesterday.”

A hazy mist seemed to rise before her eyes.

What mistake did I make again… Soeun couldn’t even muster the courage to ask. As if teasing her, Taejun revealed.

“You confessed so passionately. I’m really embarrassed because I’m so hot.”

“…”

“I like you the most in the world, Director. I can’t live without you.”

Uwaaaah! Soeun did not disappoint him. Covering her cheeks with both hands, she looked embarrassed, and Taejun burst into laughter.

Easy to tease Hansoeun.

It will be fun to be with you for a lifetime.
“Do you really not remember?”

“…Are you teasing me?”

“No. I really said something like that. Roughly.”

Well, it might be better if you don’t remember.

“Anyway, Hansoeun needs to get used to receiving. You don’t have to keep trying to do something for me.”

Taejun briefly advised and placed the food on the table.

After finishing breakfast, Taejun stood up immediately. Come to think of it, he was already neatly prepared to go outside. Of course, he wouldn’t have time to go home, wash up again, and change clothes before coming out, but somehow he seemed to be in more of a hurry than yesterday. Soeun found it strange.

Of course, Taejun immediately revealed the reason.

“I got a last-minute business trip to the United States.”

“Oh, when are you leaving?”

“Departing today… I don’t know when I’ll be back.”

As if Taejun couldn’t predict, he smirked.

“Anyway, I’ll try to finish it as soon as possible and come back.”

Whether Soeun realized that his expression had darkened, Taejun gave his farewell. The touch of his hand that gently stroked her cheek felt as comforting as the blanket they slept under together at night.

“If anything happens, contact me anytime.”

“Yes.”

“No, even if nothing happens, contact me.”

As the request gained strength, power also involuntarily entered his hand. However, there was no hot and intense kiss. After a simple kiss, Taejun headed for the door, telling her not to come out and immediately closed it.

Thunk.

The large man who filled the narrow house was gone, and being alone, the familiar space somehow felt desolate. It was somewhat sad to know that she wouldn’t see Taejun for a while.

“Let’s go to work quickly.”

Before my heart weakens for no reason, I had to move diligently.

While he works hard, I have to live my life diligently too.

After pumping myself up, I grabbed a towel and was about to go to the bathroom when the doorbell rang.

What did he forget?

Soeun, who assumed it was Taejun, opened the door without bothering to check.

However, the person standing in front of the door was not Taejun.

With messy hair and bloodshot eyes, somehow he rushed forward, swaggering excessively.

“The guy you’re meeting, was he Kim Taejun’s son?”
