It seemed doubtful that one handkerchief would be enough to fix this, but she felt like she had to put out the most urgent fire first.
“I’ll do it.”
“No! You absolutely cannot! Absolutely not!”
Seo Yeon’s resolute shout echoed in Kwon Yool’s chest.
“Just close your eyes first.”
“Ah, okay.”
Seo Yeon, leaving only her eyes open, checked whether his eyes were closed.
When she saw his eyelashes falling neatly below his eyes, Seo Yeon slowly moved her face away from his.
“Huhuh!”
“What’s wrong!”
“Never open your eyes. If you open them, you’ll turn into stone. Seriously. Not joking.”
His shirt, under the fluorescent light of the parking lot, was beyond a mess, it was a disaster.
Maybe because Seo Yeon, whose emotions had intensified, rubbed and massaged her whole face, the parts that came into contact with Seo Yeon were damp as if they had been rained on.
That would have been manageable if it had just stayed there.
His broad chest was covered here and there with transparent and sticky snot. Moreover, powder, lipstick, and mascara were painted chaotically like an abstract painting.
Haah. What to do?
This was not something that could be resolved by wiping with a handkerchief, it was irreparable in itself.
Sighing deeply, Seo Yeon stopped raising her hand halfway and stepped back when she saw her reflection in the car’s front window.
“Guhuh!”
“Miss Seo Yeon. Are you okay?”
No. It’s ruined.
“Miss Seo Yeon. Shouldn’t I open my eyes?”
“Wa, wait. Just wait there. Somehow need to clean up……”
The longdrawn eyeliner and mascara, which had made her eyebrows dense, ran down like black rainwater, leaving a distinct tear mark on her chin.
Chee, is it a cheetah?
As Seo Yeon, taken aback, rubbed under her eyes that had turned black, the redness of her forehead, cheekbones, and bridge of the nose where the makeup had been removed stood out glaringly.
Total disaster! Irreparable!
This… surpassed spilling and pouring, it was a darkest moment among dark moments.
Ha. I’m going to lose it.
Seo Yeon, looking back and forth between his ruined chest and her cheetahlike face, was deep in thought.
In this state, she couldn’t go out at all, not to mention eating, she had to break up right now.
But she couldn’t send a man who had waited for 10 hours home, smeared with snot.
Thinking… Yes, thinking. Somehow, she had to fix it!
Seo Yeon, who had been thinking with her hand on her forehead, started to wipe off the shiny snot marks on his shirt first.
But instead of being wiped off, it was getting out of hand.
This can’t go on. Then the place she could go to now is……
The answer was clear.
“Um, Mr. Yool. Do you have something like a hat in the car? Or a change of clothes?”
“There should be something I brought to wear when I exercise in the trunk.”
Let’s put out the urgent fire first.
“Where are the car keys? In the front pocket?”
Feeling Seo Yeon’s hand moving towards his front pocket, Kwon Yool quickly turned his body and pulled out the car keys.
“Here, here it is, in the trunk.”
Following where Kwon Yool’s stillclosed eyes pointed, Seo Yeon moved her steps.
As she opened the trunk, a black hat and a grey hooded zipup neatly arranged in a box caught her eye.
Seo Yeon quickly put the black hat on her head, and draped the hooded zipup over Kwon Yool’s shoulders.
“Now, lift your right arm. Right. Left arm. Uh, why are your arms so heavy? Huh. It’s, it’s done.”
“Why the… clothes?”
“Just wear them until I tell you. Got it? If you unzip this, it will be trouble.”
Seo Yeon zipped it up to his neck and hastily wiped off the black tear stains.
“Whew. Listen carefully to my story from now on. Let’s go to our house first.”
Home? House?
Kwon Yool’s eyes opened wide in shock.
At the same time, his ear and neck turned red, but Seo Yeon, who had pulled her hat down to hide her face, failed to notice it.
“My face is a mess. Look at me with foggy eyes. Or better not look at all.”
Obedient Kwon Yool immediately raised his gaze.
“You know our house, right? Let’s leave now.”
Seo Yeon handed the car keys she had been holding to Kwon Yool, urging him to hurry.
Bewilderedly arriving at Seo Yeon’s house, Kwon Yool kept rubbing his hands, which held the steering wheel, against his pants.
When Kwon Yool’s car arrived at Seo Yeon’s house parking lot in 15 minutes, Kwon Yool kept swallowing dry saliva like a parched person.
“Your, your parents are….”
“My parents live in a house 15 minutes away. So don’t worry.”
“Oh…yes.”
Kwon Yool, nodding his head greatly, repeatedly held and released his hands, unable to figure out where to put them.
Then he snuck a glance at Seo Yeon, putting his hands in the hoodie pocket.
Seo Yeon, trying to hide her messy face, bowed her head and first got on the elevator, pressing the 25th floor.
As the ‘whirring’ sound rang out and the elevator started to move, Kwon Yool’s neck began to turn red as if drunk on alcohol.
As the elevator doors slid open, Kwon Yool’s heart sank.
As Seo Yeon, pointing to room 2501, pressed the door lock, Kwon Yool turned around not to see the password.
As soon as the door opened with a click, a scent wafting from Seo Yeon rushed out like a wave.
“Come in.”
Kwon Yool, who followed Seo Yeon in with a squeak, widened his eyes.
From the entrance, unusual sculptures, and upon entering the living room, a lifesize photo of Seo Yeon was prominently placed in the center.
In addition, the living room as big as a sports field looked like a luxury shop had been directly relocated there, with furniture and accessories placed around. It was quite like the cover of a famous magazine.
“Whose work is this?”
Pointing to the intense painting hanging on the subtle creamcolored marble wall, Kwon Yool asked.
“Ah, it’s my painting. It’s a national awardwinning piece, so I hung it because it was too precious to throw away.”
“That’s really cool.”
Seo Yeon chuckled, seemingly not disliking the compliment given by the shining black eyes.
“There are more paintings aside from this one. Take a look around for a bit.”
Seo Yeon left Kwon Yool in the living room and swiftly went into a room, then came out.
“Here, take this.”
In Seo Yeon’s hand was a neatly folded white Tshirt. Seeing Kwon Yool’s inquiring gaze, Seo Yeon awkwardly smiled and spoke.
“There, see the middle door? That’s the bathroom.”
“Ah. Yes.”
Wondering if she was going to show him around the house, Kwon Yool nodded.
Then, Seo Yeon handed the Tshirt to Kwon Yool’s hand and cleared her throat a few times.
“Now, go take a shower.”

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
