“Yool made it thinking of you.”

“By himself?”

“It’s my first time making men’s clothing…… I’m not really sure how it’ll turn out.”

She added that she was worried because she didn’t measure the size directly.

However, Kwon Yool’s heart felt like it was about to burst when he heard Seo Yeon made men’s clothing for the first time, and by herself.

“A short-sleeved T-shirt would be nice to wear when you go to take the exam. Or you can wear it comfortably when studying.”

Kwon Yool alternately looked at the shopping bag and Seo Yeon.

“And can you wear this shirt on the day of the EvenBlack event?”

“I’m okay with it, but wouldn’t it be uncomfortable in front of the employees?”

Seo Yeon spoke while looking at the unnecessarily worried Kwon Yool.

“I put a lot of effort into making this shirt.”

“……”

“When you appear wearing this, everyone will say, ‘Ah, he’s the CEO’s boyfriend.'”

Perhaps he liked being referred to as the ‘CEO’s boyfriend’, Kwon Yool suddenly embraced Seo Yeon.

“Thank you. I’ll wear it well. Right here, right now……”

Kwon Yool quickly glanced around.

Then he hurriedly opened the box.

“Huh? Mr. Yool.”

“I wanted to show Ms. Seo Yeon how it looks on me right away.”

With a bright smile, like someone who had received a tremendous gift, Kwon Yool grinned.

He casually draped the shirt over the T-shirt he was wearing.

Should I say the hanger is good? Or should I say the shirt has wings? Or maybe both?

Seo Yeon inwardly admired the perfectly falling fit, the precisely aligned sleeves, and the neat shoulder line.

Although she made it herself, it suited Kwon Yool perfectly.

“I absolutely love it. I’ll definitely wear it when I go to take the exam.”

Kwon Yool embraced Seo Yeon again, pressing his lips to her cheek several times.

The moist sound echoed softly in the quiet parking lot.

Seo Yeon’s shoulders trembled slightly under his assertive displays of affection.

“Thank you, Ms. Seo Yeon.”

“I should be thanking you more. For loving it so much.”

Every time Kwon Yool separated from Seo Yeon, he looked as if he’d lose his mind. He would kiss her, look into her eyes, and then embrace her again.

“I think I should leave now.”
Seo Yeon said so, but couldn’t bring herself to step away. Instead, she gently caressed his face.

However, the time they had promised had long passed, and she had to leave.

Kwon Yool, much like a charging phone, clung to Seo Yeon, letting out a regretful sigh.

“Ms. Seo Yeon, I’ll come right after the exam is over.”

“Yes, please. Ensure we meet.”

Kwon Yool gently brushed Seo Yeon’s hair and nape.

“I have a charm that aids in doing well on exams.”

“A charm? Where can one buy that?”

Hoping there might genuinely be such a thing, she asked him.

But whether or not such a charm existed, Kwon Yool’s heated gaze landed directly on Seo Yeon’s rosy lips.

Caught up in his intense gaze, Seo Yeon unwittingly closed her eyes.

“I like you. A lot.”

His soft voice tickled Seo Yeon’s ear.

Slowly moving closer, Kwon Yool tenderly captured Seo Yeon’s lips.

He moved with affection and without hesitation.

Without a second thought, Kwon Yool devoured all of Seo Yeon’s breath.

Even with her eyes closed, Seo Yeon felt as if a bright light shimmered before her eyes.

Then, as if suffocating in his rushed breathing, she felt a little lightheaded.

She became so engrossed that it was impossible to distinguish whose breath was whose.

Caught between the cold car seat and Kwon Yool’s warm chest, Seo Yeon felt she might burst at any moment.

“Ah, Mr. Yool.”

Unable to bear her tumultuous emotions, she called out to him in desperation.

“Ms. Seo Yeon, today…”

With their lips still touching, Kwon Yool couldn’t continue.

Both were of the same mind.

Neither wanted to part; they just wanted to remain close.

But now, they truly had to depart.

“I don’t want to leave…”

As she slowly distanced herself from his lips, Seo Yeon whispered.

He buried his face in her shoulder, trying to calm his raging heart and responded,

“…Neither do I.”
The two gazed into each other’s eyes, sharing their final genuine kiss, and then parted ways.

In a world momentarily without Kwon Yool, Seo Yeon’s moments seemed to stretch on languidly.

Usually, the weekend would arrive swiftly after a few meetings, but now the days seemed interminably long.

She would check the time and stay busy with various tasks, yet the relentless hours remained unchanged.

Even though Seo Yeon had no direct ties to the exam, she was consumed by palpable tension.

It was to the extent that she couldn’t understand why she felt this way.

She felt her heart flutter frequently, like she had ventured out alone in the late-winter chill in a thin dress.

Yet, not wanting to disturb him, she quietly immersed herself in her work.

The daily calls they used to share three times reduced to twice, and he called her the evening before he was to take the exam.

The two conversed as they usually would about daily matters.
