“I touched Mr. Do Jun’s nose, cheeks, lips, so you must have thought about it too.”
“That’s right.”
“Do it in front of Ms. Choi.”
Do Jun gave Tae Yeon a narroweyed look as if asking what she meant.
“Exactly as I said. If we’re doing it for show, wouldn’t it be better to do it in front of Ms. Choi?”
She couldn’t express her real thought that it might be better to show it in front of Ms. Choi rather than when they were alone.
Since no other affectionate act came to mind, Do Jun accepted Tae Yeon’s suggestion.
Before locking the door, Tae Yeon took a deep breath, feeling nervous.
“It’s difficult.”
“Acting a lie is always difficult.”
Do Jun’s dark eyes watched Tae Yeon.
While she was very good at telling such difficult lies like eating meals.
Why was Tae Yeon clumsy, pretending to be incapable only when with him?
He was curious about that too.
“Shall we go in?”
Tae Yeon called out to Do Jun, who was lost in thought.
“Let’s do that.”
The sound of the door unlocking was heard, and the two people entered.
Ms. Choi, who had finished preparing dinner in the kitchen, hurriedly came out to greet them from the entrance.
“Have you arrived? I’ve prepared grilled eel for dinner.”
“I’ll change clothes and come back out.”
Do Jun placed his hand on Tae Yeon’s waist and headed to the dressing room together. The distance between the two, who were close to each other, was extremely narrow.
As soon as the door to the dressing room opened with a squeak, Tae Yeon quickly distanced herself from Do Jun.
“Mr. Do Jun, you change first and come out.”
Do Jun looked at Tae Yeon as he loosely pulled his tie.
“Aren’t you going to change?”
“After Mr. Do Jun dresses….”
“Are you telling me you’re shy between a married couple?”
It was a blatant provocation.
Before Tae Yeon could say anything, Do Jun quickly unbuttoned his shirt.
Tae Yeon turned her body away, facing his welldefined upper body muscles. She suppressed her trembling voice and said.
“Mr. Do Jun, even if we are a married couple, taking off your clothes like that without warning is a bit….”
Soon, the sound of Do Jun’s shirt falling to the floor was heard. Tae Yeon clenched her hands tightly, becoming more nervous.
“Why are you avoiding me?”
Do Jun’s voice, who had come up behind her, poured over Tae Yeon’s head.
“I’m shy,” Tae Yeon said while still facing away from Do Jun.
“Shyness. It’s strange coming from someone who was blatantly desiring me yesterday and today.”
At his words, Tae Yeon turned around in annoyance and fixed her gaze on Do Jun’s face.
“Mr. Do Jun, that statement might be a bit misleading?”
Do Jun tilted his head, waiting for Tae Yeon’s response.
“And what do you mean by desire? It was just a small touch….”
Tae Yeon trailed off, smiling awkwardly. Her shaky expression when she was nervous was cute.
‘So this is why I keep asking awkward questions.’
Having thought that, Do Jun cleared his throat. It was another unnecessary thought.
Do Jun took a step back, took a silk nightgown from the drawer and put it on.
“Huh?”
Tae Yeon’s eyes widened as she discovered it.
“That nightgown, it’s the same as mine?”
The silk nightgown that Do Jun was wearing was the same as Tae Yeon’s. Only the color was different.
“That’s right. I asked Ms. Choi.”
“Oh….”
“I asked her to get the same nightgown as yours.”
Coincidentally, they ended up with couple items since they had the same nightgown.
‘I need to buy another nightgown later.’
As if he had read her thoughts, Do Jun put in the last nail.
“I hope you’re not thinking of buying a new nightgown.”
“….”
“Then I’ll have to ask Ms. Choi again, and of course, she will find it strange.”
She couldn’t refute his words because they were all correct. In the meantime, Do Jun had already changed into his nightgown.
Feeling strange about wearing couple nightgowns all of a sudden, Tae Yeon spoke, looking at the door of the dressing room.
“Mr. Do Jun, you can go out first.”
Although he wanted to say he would wait here and go out with her, Tae Yeon was not one to easily give permission.
“Alright. I will wait for you outside.”
“Yes.”
When Do Jun left the dressing room, Tae Yeon closed her eyes tightly.
After he returned to Korea, her peaceful daily life had completely changed.
At work and at home.
At work, she had to exert effort to hide, and at home, she had to put on a show of absence.
Both situations, after all, were acts of deceit.
As she got out of the car, Do Jun’s words came back to her belatedly.
“Acting a lie is always difficult.”
“That’s true.”
She quickly changed into the same pajamas as Do Jun and Tae Yeon left the dressing room.
((()))((()))((()))
Sitting across from each other, Do Jun and Tae Yeon looked at the dinner prepared by Miss Choi.
As Tae Yeon lifted her spoon, a wellgrilled eel was placed in her bowl.
“Eat a lot.”
“And you too, Mr. Do Jun.”
Being conscious of Miss Choi, Tae Yeon also passed a large grilled eel to him. Do Jun threw a joke with a crafty smile.
“If I eat a lot, you will be in trouble. Can you handle it?”
“Excuse me?”

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.
