Hyo Jin arrived at the hospital and quickly dropped her body in case she ran into Hwang Sae. The warmth that had wrapped around her arm disappeared, making the already chilly winter weather feel even colder.
“Do we have to break up like this?”
“Sigh, I don’t want to break up either. As long as Grandma isn’t uncomfortable.”
“Ha, go in quickly. Grandma is waiting.”
Gyo Hwan patted Hyo Jin’s back, pretending to cry, and took her into the elevator, pressing the 20thfloor button.
“Oh? The hospital is on the 13th floor.”
“Now we have to go to the 20th floor.”
“What? Why?”
“You’ll know when you get there.”
“Oh my, why am I here?”
Sunny, waking up from her sleep, thought she was lying in a hotel, not a hospital.
“Why is Nam Team Leader pushing himself like this? I received a massage chair and a jjimjilbang package because of you. I guess I liked it for no reason. Is this from the Veterans Association? Did they give a discount?”
“Ah, Grandma, it was Nam Team Leader who did this.”
“Huh? If it wasn’t Nam Team Leader?”
Supporting Hyo Jin’s back and leaning against the bed, Mrs. Yang Sun Hye straightened her neck and opened her eyes wide.
“Dad.”
“Dad? If it’s Dad. Your father, the one you’re teaching?”
Now she even sat up completely.
“Yes. He’s a really good person. He even met the doctor himself to see if the surgery went well.”
“Oh, this is a big problem. How can I handle this burden? An old woman like me should die soon.”
“Why are you saying such things, Grandma? You liked it when Nam Team Leader gave it as a gift.”
You said it was from Dad, so I feel burdened and think I should die quickly.
“Nam Team Leader has a reason for treating you well, but that person called Dad doesn’t have a reason.”
“Why doesn’t he have a reason?”
As Hyo Jin unintentionally questioned, she felt embarrassed when her eyes met Sunny’s.
“He doesn’t have a reason? Wait, you couldn’t be…!”
Hyo Jin’s lower abdomen felt a sudden twist, even though she hadn’t undergone surgery.
“So you’re being mistreated there, while the child suffers and your heart is breaking?”
“No, the child is so adorable and lovely. Wouldn’t Grandma fall in love with the baby? Should I invite her to the hospital? She said she would come to pay respects because Grandma gave her some rice cakes.”
“Oh my. What can I do by looking at someone else’s child? You should get married soon and have a real grandchild to show.”
“Grandma…”
Hyo Jin sighed, feeling upset.
“Do we really have to be so oldfashioned, distinguishing between your child and my child? It’s the modern era, you know.”
As if to express her annoyance, Sunny turned her back and lay down.
“And what about Nam Team Leader?”
“Grandma, we’re not really like that.”
“Why? Nam Team Leader never says such things. Is there something I don’t know?”
Unable to speak the truth, Hyo Jin twisted her fingers like a twisted pastry.
“Well, actually, I have someone I like.”
“Who?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
It hasn’t been long since the surgery, and if she gets shocked and a blood vessel bursts, what will she do?
“Oh my, the fact that you can’t tell me right away shows how unsatisfactory it is.”
“No, it’s so precious to me compared to anyone else.”
“But why can’t you say who it is? Could it be that you like someone alone?”
“To like someone alone…”
She had just received such a beautiful confession.
“That’s right. Since you can’t even say who it is and just like them, it must be onesided love.”
Sunny gave a mocking smile as she watched Hyo Jin, who couldn’t say a word and pursed her lips.
“You don’t need someone you like. The person who loves me is the best.”
The next morning.
“Team Leader, what happened yesterday with the CEO?”
Nam Team Leader, who was on his way to the secretary’s office, stopped abruptly.
“Why?”
Among the secretaries who stood up from their seats, a female secretary approached the CEO and whispered.
“There’s a circle marked on the CEO’s calendar.”
“What?”
“And it’s in red.”
In the secretary’s office, where they had to observe his every move, they couldn’t help but be extremely sensitive to such things.
In red.
Understanding, Nam Team Leader nodded and knocked on the smart office door, entering.
Sure enough.
A calendar with a red circle marked on it was spread out proudly on the mahogany desk.
“CEO, what is this?”
Clack. Nam Team Leader turned the calendar around towards Gyo Hwan so the date could be seen.
“Oh, it’s a special day, and I wanted to commemorate it. I marked it so I wouldn’t forget. They say women get disappointed if you forget anniversaries, right?”
Ha, it’s pitiful for someone without a partner.
“Teacher Bong told me not to tell anyone until I formally talk to Seung Yul and get permission. But I’m telling you specifically, Nam Team Leader.”
Gyo Hwan whispered as if sharing a secret.
“Why? Don’t tell me either.”
It might be better not to know.
“Because I like Nam Team Leader.”
Seeing Nam Team Leader’s face turning sour, Gyo Hwan raised an eyebrow.
“Are you jealous? Are you saying that I’m dating Teacher Bom? When did I ever tell you to stop and go straight?”
“Hmph, I’m the one who should say it’s fine if it’s fine. I don’t understand why you’re saying it ominously.”
While smiling. Saying that he can never be in a relationship.
Especially in front of a bachelor who has never been in one.
“Do you have to mark it on the calendar? If you really want to commemorate it, there are apps for that. Don’t you think it’s outdated?”
“What’s the problem? It’s my calendar, isn’t it? If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to look at it, right?”
“Even if I don’t want to look, you’ve marked a red circle and put it up here. Make sure the date is visible too.”
“So what? I wanted to do it with a red heart for Nam Team Leader. I’ve endured it for him.”
“Ha, it’s not because of me that you did that, right? It’s not like you’re showing it off.”
“Ugh, what’s there to show off? I envy Nam Team Leader. How wonderful is it to not nag like this?”
While checking the message from Teacher Bong on his phone, he rambled on without realizing that his mouth was shooting up like a rocket.
“After asking me what my favorite food is, now you’re asking if there’s anything I dislike or can’t eat. You keep asking. I’m busy with work.”
Hobbies and favorite colors. Movies or books that left a deep impression. The happiest or saddest moments so far.
There were more than a hundred questions about Choi Gyo Hwan.
“If you don’t want to do it, just say you’re busy. Are you asking me to do it instead?”
“No. Why would I?”
Of course, since you asked me, I should do it. Why would I ask Nam Team Leader for personal matters?
“Then just stay quiet by yourself. What’s the reason for showing it to me?”
Not even making a pretense of being polite. Not even pretending.
Knock, knock.
The secretary knocked on the office door and entered.
“CEO, Mr. Kang Jaeik has come to visit.”
The upward curve of the mouth, which had been persisting since yesterday, straightened in an instant.
“Hmm. So it seems he finally received the gift I sent.”
Gyo Hwan’s expression, as he put down his mobile phone, remained as composed as ever.
“Ask him to come in.”

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
