“I’m getting dizzy. Please tell me quickly. Who is the woman that stole Uncle’s heart?”

Biyeong, feeling awkward at Yeonwoo’s question, hesitated to speak.

To disclose one’s affection in front of the person one admires—what kind of situation was this?

“Are you really not going to tell me?”

When Biyeong didn’t answer immediately, Yeonwoo urged him.

“Then just tell me this. Is that woman very beautiful?”

To the question of her beauty, Biyeong stared at Yeonwoo.

Although he was evaluating her as a man, Yeonwoo’s delicate appearance couldn’t be hidden.

A small white face with flushed cheeks as if applied with rouge, lips tinged with a plum-like reddish hue, a slender neck that extended straight like a deer, and even the strands of hair that charmingly fell.

All of it caused ripples in Biyeong’s heart.

Yeonwoo, looking at him, was so bright that it was almost blinding.

Biyeong barely managed to contain the overflowing passion.

“Beautiful. She’s charming beyond comparison to any other woman.”

“What about her personality? She must be gentle if Uncle has a crush on her, right?”

“What are you going to do if I tell you?”

“Oh my! Then, what made you fall for her? Where does she captivate you?”

Not realizing that this was her story, Yeonwoo, excited about Biyeong’s love life, wiggled her feet.

“Do you need a reason to have someone in your heart? I fell for her just because she’s that woman.”

“Oh my, oh my, you fell for her…!”

Yeonwoo blushed, feeling as if she were in a romantic novel.

“Why don’t you confess?”

In response to Yeonwoo’s continuing questions, Biyeong hesitated about how much to reveal.

After a brief pause, Biyeong held out the plate of meat to Yeonwoo and answered.

“I’m waiting for the right time.”

Curious, like a person with a dry throat craving water, Yeonwoo asked the question.

“Why don’t you confess right away?”

“Because she doesn’t even think that I’m admiring her. If I suddenly reveal my feelings in this situation, wouldn’t it just be a burden?”

“Is Uncle burdensome to her?”

Yeonwoo blinked with a puzzled expression.

Although she thought there was no woman who wouldn’t appreciate Biyeong, she soon agreed.

“Well, is Uncle usually that outstanding? Whether it’s family, personal qualities, or abilities, there’s no way a person like our Uncle, who’s perfect in every aspect, exists in the world. A woman blessed like that woman doesn’t exist.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Yes.”

With Yeonwoo’s firm answer, Biyeong chuckled.

Judging from Yeonwoo’s reaction, it seemed there was still a long way to go before he could confess his feelings.

“Since your fortune is good, it will surely go well. I envy Uncle. My fortune-telling is a mess.”

“How about you? You must have checked your romantic luck since there’s a man you like.”

Biyeong subtly teased Yeonwoo.

The question was based on the feeling that something was off between Yeonwoo and Gun, and it had been sensed for a long time.
“Male?! No way! It’s absurd. I only looked at the fortune out of curiosity.”

Yeonwoo, seemingly caught off guard by Biyeong’s unexpected question, stumbled through his words.

“I feel like I’m destined to bury bones in the Gwangho Army Division. There doesn’t seem to be any male fortune in my palm.”

“Why do you think that way?”

“Well, everyone sees me as a male, and if I get assigned to the Gwangho Army Division, wouldn’t that be peculiar in itself? There’s no place for me to meet a male outside the Gwangho Army Division, and there’s no male who would see me as a female.”

Moreover, if we make eye contact in the Gwangho Army Division, won’t we end up in an awkward situation among males?

Since she couldn’t reveal her identity as a female, if Yeonwoo, who wasn’t a real male, were assigned to the Gwangho Army Division, it would cause various problems.

Therefore, making eye contact with any male in the Gwangho Army Division was not allowed.

But that statement also meant that there was no possibility of connecting with Geon.

Thinking about that, Yeonwoo’s mood became gloomy again.

Biyeong, who had been quietly listening to Yeonwoo’s words, slowly withdrew his lips.

“It’s not true. It’s right here.”

“What?”

Yeonwoo showed a reaction indicating she didn’t understand English.

With his gaze fixed on Yeonwoo, Biyeong spoke with sincerity in his voice.

“I mean that there’s a male here who sees you as a female.”

Although it took a long time for him to realize, for Biyeong, Yeonwoo was always a female.

Even if Yeonwoo was behaving like a male, even as time passed, this sincerity did not change.

However, that feeling couldn’t reach Yeonwoo, dispersing into the air.

“Well, Uncle doesn’t know my true identity, does he?”

Yeonwoo blinked, seemingly unaware of Biyeong’s intentions.

“Anyway, don’t worry about it. After all, I didn’t join the Gwangho Army Division thinking I’d meet a male. Uncle should do well, not me. Uncle has a much greater chance of doing well, right?”

In Yeonwoo’s truly ignorant appearance, Biyeong felt bitter.
