Jeaha said he would go to Busan alone on a business trip and left a secretary with me.

Coming out of the wedding shop and riding in the car driven by the secretary, I was lost in thought for a long time.

Recalling the memory from earlier, my heart pounded involuntarily.

Although it was just for a brief moment, the place where his lips touched felt hot, as if a flower had bloomed.

“Crazy! Really.”

Shaking my head vigorously, the sensation from that moment became more vivid.

No matter that the door was closed…

It was dizzying to imagine that someone might have opened the door.

That wasn’t the only thing.

“If Jeaha hadn’t turned and left like that…”

I didn’t know if I would have swallowed Jeaha’s lips.

At that time, my mind was so intoxicated by the emotions he gave me that it turned completely white.

I felt for the first time that I couldn’t suppress my emotions.

The emotions I had pressed down deep inside my chest during the short kiss rose up strongly.

“What should I do?”

Even though I was thinking only of revenge, my heart was always impatient.

Although I knew that Jeaha’s feelings were more than just a partner in revenge, I couldn’t afford to accept his heart.

So, I had been avoiding it all along.

After returning from the vacation at the villa, I unexpectedly faced the emotions towards Jeaha that I had been avoiding.

At first, even if Jeaha approached me recklessly, I thought I could control my emotions.

But now, I couldn’t control my own feelings.

In a bewildered state of mind, I covered my face.

Being with Jeaha made me gradually forget about revenge and focus on the dangerous thought that I could be happy with him without seeking revenge.

At times, I felt the need to take the difficult path of revenge, but then I hesitated.

Then I would shake my head.

“It’s an absurd thought, really…”

Choosing love over revenge, it seemed impossible.

“We have arrived.”

When I lifted my head at the voice of the secretary, the car was parked in front of Jeaha’s apartment.

“Thank you for your hard work today.”

“No, you worked harder, Secretary. It must have been tough because Jeaha was driving.”

“No, it was nice to see the president in that way for the first time.”

He smiled knowingly, left a courteous farewell, and left.

Entering my house alone, the silence inside felt more heavy.

When I was with Jeaha, I didn’t realize it, but now his house felt surprisingly large.
The person I’ve been with all day is gone, and perhaps because of that, the void left by him feels deeply significant.

“Was the house this spacious?”

For the next few days, I’ll have to be alone.

The contemplation I had in the car was overshadowed by a profound sense of emptiness.

Seorin arrived at a Korean restaurant with Oh Yeosa.

When Seorin saw Jaeha and Yeojin at the dress shop, she couldn’t control her anger.

Inside, the anger was building up, but thanks to Oh Yeosa’s lunch proposal, Seorin managed to calm her emotions.

Although it wasn’t a cheerful atmosphere, Seorin was relieved that Oh Yeosa’s attitude had become more forgiving than when they first met.

“Mother, thank you so much for coming to the shop today. Thanks to you, I’m so happy to have found a pretty dress.”

“I didn’t do anything, really.”

As Oh Yeosa said, she didn’t do anything at the dress shop today. She just observed the situation.

Still, Seorin remembered Yeojin, who had a stiff expression when Oh Yeosa appeared.

She didn’t show it, but it was clear that Yeojin felt alienated between herself and Oh Yeosa.

The day at the wedding shop was perfect, at least until that man entered.

She had been forcefully directing Yeojin, but the unexpected appearance of that man captured everyone’s attention.

As memories of the morning’s embarrassing incident resurfaced, Seorin’s lips trembled.

But soon, looking at Oh Yeosa in front of her, she raised the corners of her mouth again.

“I’ll stop these unpleasant thoughts.”

Once Seorin and Oh Yeosa sat down, freshly prepared dishes began to be served on the table.

“I already ordered the food. They are the most famous here, so they should suit your taste.”

“Thank you, Mother. I eat everything well, so it’s okay.”

Wiping her hands with the placed wet wipes, Seorin smiled brightly.

She could eat whatever she wanted at this point.

Due to the dress, she hadn’t had a proper meal from morning until now, and she was very hungry.

“Wow! Cheonggukjang! It looks like a famous place. I really like Cheonggukjang.”

Seorin said with a bright voice.

In her current state, she was confident that she could enjoy whatever was on the menu.

Seeing the rich scent of the thick cheonggukjang and the appetizing color, Seorin’s eyes sparkled.

That’s Seorin’s shining eyes, Oh Yeosa’s lips curved slightly.

“Fortunately, there’s no loss of appetite?”

In response to Oh Yeosa’s casual question, Seorin took a big spoonful and lifted her head, still holding it in her mouth.

Loss of appetite? With the strong scent of rich cheonggukjang, Seorin felt no discomfort.
