That’s probably why, on the day of their first kiss, he bit her neck when her hair was tied up.
Remembering the price he paid, being grabbed by the back of the head by Min Taehee, he chuckled.
Seeing Min Taehee, who casually showed her neck, a memory from a long time ago overlapped.
Min Taehee in a school uniform, bobbed hair that swayed below her ears, a slender neck revealed vulnerably whenever she lowered her head, and long eyelashes that fluttered when she lowered her head.
The sensations he felt back then were still vivid.
The throbbing of the heart that he felt for the first time in his life, the warm heat spreading through his body, the burning sensation in his eyes, and the inexplicable strong impulse.
At that time, he didn’t know the reason, but now he seemed to understand.
He was seeing Min Taehee as a woman.
Just like now.
Turning his gaze away from Taehee, who had the same fiery gaze as back then, Sajun calmly spoke.
“Wear warm clothes.”

Sajun’s car stopped in front of a cafe on the way to the Han River. Unbuckling the seatbelt, Sajun asked,
“I’m going to buy coffee, what about you?”
“I’m good. I can’t sleep if I drink coffee at night.”
The car door closed. Even though the steps were slow, the stride was refreshing, perhaps due to long legs.
Looking at the sturdy figure behind the cafe’s glass wall, Taehee called Hyesuk.
[Daughter! What’s going on at this hour?]“Are you drinking tea?”
10:30 PM.
It was a call to Taehee’s mother, aware of Hyesuk’s pattern of enjoying a warm cup of tea before reading and falling asleep.
But Taehee rarely made late-night calls, so Hyesuk seemed a bit surprised.
[Yeah. That tea you recommended was really good. Cream Caramel Rooibos, right?]“That’s right. The aroma is so soft.”
“Tell me when you finish it. I’ll order more. And I’m going to Ilsan this weekend.”
[Did your dad call? Did he say anything to you?]Her cautious voice carried a hint of fear.
It was understandable.
She didn’t tell Hyesuk about meeting Min Suntae last weekend and what they talked about.
She didn’t even ask why she didn’t mention the cat.
Because it might turn Hyesuk’s world upside down.
Taehee was content that Hyesuk chose her instead of Min Suntae.
She would handle the headaches and heartaches on her own.
“Mom, he can’t mess with us anymore.”
During the 100 days of dating Kang Sajun, until we leave.
“So, Mom, don’t worry and wait. Okay?”
Just as Taehee finished the call with Hyesuk, Sajun got into the car.
However, the takeaway drinks were two.
One was an iced coffee filled with ice cubes, and the other was a warm tea emitting a fragrant scent.
“Is this Cream Caramel Tea? Awesome, not many cafes sell this.”
“I found it on the coffee menu when buying coffee.”
Sajun said casually, but it was a lie.
While Taehee was preparing, he had searched for directions on his phone and already knew a cafe that sold Cream Caramel Tea.
“Enjoy it.”
At Taehee’s soft smile, Sajun’s lips curled up slightly.
Thus, they arrived at the Han River.
Perhaps because it was late at night, the parking lot was spacious.
The two who got out of the car sat side by side on a bench with a clear view of the Han River.
“I understand why couples have Han River dates. It’s so beautiful.”
Captivated by the Han River night view, Taehee admired, and Sajun’s gaze was drawn not to the Han River but to Min Taehee, who was quietly wrapped in the cool wind.
The scent of Min Taehee, blended with the aroma of Cream Caramel Tea, gently tickled his nose.
In the faint darkness, only Taehee seemed to shine softly. Unable to look away, he continued to watch endlessly.
It was inevitable to feel hurt by Min Taehee, who didn’t give me a single glance.
“Is the date the purpose, or is it the Han River view?”
“Well, both?”
Turning her head, Taehee met eyes with Sajun and smiled brightly.
“It was one of my bucket list items. Seeing the Han River night view.”
“Everything is a bucket list for you.”
To Sajun’s words, Taehee shrugged her shoulders.
“Yeah, everything is a bucket list, right? But why haven’t I done something that’s not a big deal.”
Starting to live alone in Seoul, Taehee had quite a few bucket list items in her heart.
However, she dared not think about trying them out.
Life was so intense and busy, tied to the company on weekdays and to Sajun and Hyesuk on weekends.
It might be an excuse, but living such a life, it felt like there was nothing in my life.
So, I wanted to try it now.
To date my favorite man for a hundred days, and after a hundred days, to boldly explore my life.
Sajun couldn’t help but notice Taehee looking quietly at the Han River with a complex and subtle gaze. It was as if she had no interest in the Han River night view.
“Min Taehee.”
As he turned his gaze away from the Han River, Sajun’s eyes, even darker than the river, met Taehee’s.
“Write down your bucket list, and I’ll make sure you do everything.”
“Why would you do that?”
“I said I would do it well.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
