Did he expect Geon to kiss him? Yeonwoo chided himself for expecting such things.

In the bedroom, Geon leaned against the wall as soon as he entered.

Then, he took a deep breath.

“Hoo…”

Certainly, there was nothing wrong with comforting Yeonwoo, who had cried.

However, after removing the hair stuck to the lips, Geon gradually began to lose his senses.

First of all, he became aware of Yeonwoo’s cherry-red lips.

Yeonwoo’s moist lips, soaked with moisture, were as tempting as a ripe peach, perfect for eating.

Was that all?
Crying, Yeonwoo’s eyes, now moist and reddened, and her flushed face emitted a subtle charm.

Caught in that sight, Geon almost forgot how to breathe.

He nearly stole Yeonwoo’s lips again, and it could not be anything but a truly dangerous situation.

Clearly a man, why did he exhibit a more charming appearance than any other woman? What in the world was happening?

Why did he once again harbor desire for Yeonwoo, who was undoubtedly a man?

Expressing how precious Yeonwoo was to Geon was an understatement.

It was crazy enough to be captivated by desire, not being able to handle Yeonwoo with care.

Even though he had vowed not to touch him, why did his heart keep being drawn to Yeonwoo?

Certainly, it became increasingly confusing for Geon, who couldn’t understand whether there was a hint of blue in his feelings.

“What on earth is the problem…”

Just when he felt a sense of self-disgust for harboring emotions toward a man, an object entered Geon’s field of vision.

While staring blankly at the object, a thought crossed Geon’s mind.

“…Could it be.”

If the reason was because he kept having dark thoughts whenever he looked at Yeonwoo, then an explanation was possible.

In Geon’s uneasy heart, there was a moment when sparkling carbonated water poured in.

The next day, at Gwangho Army Division’s training camp.

At Geon’s call, Yeonwoo was summoned to the Gwangho Army barrack.

“Nari, did you call me?”

Fatigue was evident in Yeonwoo’s voice.

The reason was that he couldn’t sleep due to Geon’s gaze from the night before.

Just thinking about that gaze made his heart beat uncontrollably, and it was embarrassing.

Amidst this, Geon, fixed on a scroll of papers piled on the desk, gestured for Yeonwoo to sit in a suitable place without sparing him a glance.

After Yeonwoo found a seat and Geon continued to focus on his work, the scene was both unfamiliar and impressive. On one hand, it felt charming to see him concentrated on his work, but on the other, it made Yeonwoo’s heart flutter.

While Yeonwoo was secretly observing Geon absorbed in his work, Geon spoke up.

“Hong Yeonwoo.”

As if caught red-handed peeking at Geon, Yeonwoo, startled, replied, “Yes?”

“I have something to ask you.”

“Pl-please go ahead.”

“What do women like?”

“What…?”

At Geon’s sudden question, Yeonwoo made a bewildered sound. What kind of absurd question was asking what women like?

Just when Yeonwoo thought he might have been caught peeking at Geon, Geon changed the question.

“Let me rephrase the question. What do you think is needed to win a woman’s heart?”

“Well, um, if you ask me, as a man, about winning a woman’s heart…”

“If you were a woman, what would you want from a man?”

“If I were a woman…?”

Yeonwoo sweated at Geon’s incomprehensible question.

“If I were a woman, what would I want…? Could he have discovered my true identity?”
However, assuming that Geon had discovered that Yeonwoo was a woman, he felt that he couldn’t treat her calmly like this.

Yeonwoo, who thought it was too early to judge that his identity had been exposed, took a deep breath.

Then, if he were Yeonwoo, he thought about what he would most want from a man.

“Well… wouldn’t she want sincerity?”

“Sincerity?”

“Yes. It seems she would want the sincere feelings of this man who genuinely likes her.”

It wasn’t exactly what he intended to say about Geon.

But when Yeonwoo looked at Geon’s actions toward him, he sometimes wondered if Geon was treating him well simply because he was his person or if there was another motive.

Asking about a woman’s feelings toward a man, especially to Yeonwoo, was absurd. Yeonwoo made an assumption about Geon being a man, which was also unreasonable.

“Hmm…”

In response to Yeonwoo’s answer, Geon paused for a moment, as if lost in thought, and then quickly resumed his work.

“You can go now.”

“Yes…?”

Once again, Yeonwoo made a bewildered sound. Although Geon didn’t always express affection, there were times when he exchanged glances with Yeonwoo. However, today, Geon seemed unwilling to make eye contact with Yeonwoo.

It subtly made Yeonwoo feel hurt.

When Yeonwoo hesitated to leave, Geon lifted his head.

“Do you have something to say to me?”

“Oh, no…”

As Geon signaled him to leave again, Yeonwoo had no choice but to exit the barracks.

What could be the reason for suddenly asking about a woman? Yeonwoo didn’t seem to have realized that he was a woman.
