Simultaneously, within the firm chest, the heart began to beat loudly. He didn’t know; Min Taehee even had determination. Was the warmth emanating from their joined hands just his own illusion?
Whatever it was, Sajoon was fine with it. If Min Taehee had crossed the line first, all he had to do was give a hint, and Kang Sajoon knew how to take the lead.
As if waiting, Sajoon subtly moved his hand and pinched his fingertips. As expected, due to Min Taehee, who pretended not to know, Sajoon’s mouth corner faintly lifted.

Taehee was on edge again today. Every time they walked, like the day they watched the movie, Sajoon’s hand seemed to touch and avoid as if teasing.
Though they had never touched, it was so ticklish that she couldn’t endure it. To hold or not to hold.
They were dating anyway; just grab it firmly. It felt funny to hesitate to hold hands after kissing.
That’s probably why it’s challenging to go from friends to lovers. The line is so vague that it’s awkward.
Just then, as she lowered her gaze, she saw Sajoon’s smooth and long fingers contracting and expanding. Maybe Sajoon was also paying attention.
Well, or not. Although she tried to boldly hold hands first, her heart was beating as if it would burst.

The bigger problem was not knowing when to let go of the hand. While waiting for 30 minutes after arriving at the store, holding Sajoon’s hand with enough sweat to be noticed, she received a waiting ticket.
The words of the store owner saying, ‘Number 9, please come in,’ were not so welcoming.
Looking at the tteokbokki on the table, Sajoon muttered, “I really wanted to eat this.”
“There’s no single table, and taking up a table alone is a nuisance to the store. It’s funny to suggest eating together when we’re not close, and I don’t want to eat with a stranger.”
She always wore a smooth mask, got along well with people, but that was it. Taehee had opened her heart, and until now, Sajoon was the only one she trusted.
“There’s no single table, and taking up a table alone is a nuisance to the store. It’s funny to suggest eating together when we’re not close, and I don’t want to eat with a stranger.”
Always wearing a smooth mask, getting along moderately well with people, but that was it. Until now, Sajoon had been the only one Taehee had opened her heart to.
Giving one’s heart to someone is still frightening. The wounds received from someone trusted are painfully deep.
In childhood, she had been betrayed several times by same-sex friends, and during university, she was betrayed by Jaehyun, her first love.
Behind that was Min Yeonseo and Min Seontae, but whatever happened, the choices were theirs.
Still, Sajoon had always been there unswervingly.

It was both thankful and heartbreaking that it turned into love.
Pushing back the hot lump that surged up from her throat, Taehee smiled brightly.
“But it’s good to have a lover, right? Coming to eat this together.”
“Well, barely. There will be many good things in the future.”
Sajoon, who replied casually, was glaring at the bright red tteokbokki in the pot with a powerful gaze.
Ah, right. For someone who exercises and manages their body, this menu must be the worst.
Hearing the casually murmured words, it was Sajoon who suggested eating first.
Still, it couldn’t be helped that it bothered her.
“Sajoon, I’ll eat alone, so you don’t have to force yourself…”
Taehee’s words trailed off.

Sajoon had scooped the vigorously boiling, bright red tteokbokki into a plate and placed it in front of Taehee.
To others, it might be an ordinary daily occurrence, but not for Taehee.
It was the second time since the quail egg. Sajoon, who always only knew the outside world, took the initiative to take care of her.
What was even more surprising was that Sajoon, who had put tteokbokki and cheese on his own plate, was also there in front of her.
“Do you want to eat tteokbokki too? Are you okay?”
“What else wouldn’t be okay.”
Was it because Sajoon, who was strict about diet, really didn’t know?
“This is a complete carbohydrate calorie bomb, the worst menu for someone who exercises.”
“You exercise too.”
“I exercise to relieve stress by eating something delicious. I exercise to eat something delicious. But you don’t.”

“Then why do you think I exercise?”
Asking Taehee, Sajoon, unlike others, rolled the cheese, which normally extended, around the tteokbokki.
“For drinking healthily?”
Sajoon, who found the words amusing, smiled slightly and put the tteokbokki in his mouth.
With her mouth open, she chewed slowly, swallowed, and stared at Taehee.
In those black pupils staring straightforwardly, there was no trace of the laughter spilled just a moment ago.
Looking directly at Taehee, Sajoon, who had wiped away the nonsense, calmly said,
“I exercise because of you.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
