Yoon, who was in the car, was momentarily lost for words when she saw Kang Hyun in the stunning suit, exactly as he looked in the article’s photo she saw today. Her heart started to pound and race.
Kang Hyun was a man who looked great in casual attire, but he especially suited suits. His current appearance was incomparable even to foreign top models.
Staring at Kang Hyun, who was exuding even more masculinity today, Yoon opened her mouth.
“I saw the article about the production announcement.”
“Did you?”
Kang Hyun suddenly thought of the reaction of his fiancée to his love scene, which the reporter had asked about.
“What article did you see?”
“I only had a moment to look at it during the break, so I only saw the photos in the article.”
Yoon remembered the photo of him posing affectionately with Shin Young Joo and Chae So Yi, and again her mood turned gloomy. Thinking about it, it seemed like she could even smell women’s perfume on him.
‘Kang Hyun is an actor, why are you behaving like this?’
He was even a top star. He was everyone’s lover. She felt pitiful for being upset just by seeing such a picture.
“When we wrap up some of the schedule, let’s formally greet them.”
As Kang Hyun put a ring on her hand, Yoon smiled.
“Yes, they’ve been wanting to see you.”
“Then we should have met earlier, but alas, your grandma didn’t dye her hair.”
“I should have done it when I visited last time, but I completely forgot.”
Yoon found it both heartwarming and cute to think of Ok Soon being upset about her white hair.
“Do you also dye grandma’s hair?”
“Yes, I just buy the dye and do it.”
Seeing Yoon so happy talking about her grandmother, Kang Hyun wanted to meet her maternal grandparents even more. Yoon looked nothing like either Congressman Seo or her halfsiblings, so he was curious about them.
“But, have you ever raised a hedgehog?”
“No, but I looked it up and it doesn’t seem like it would require a lot of work. They’re independent, so you don’t have to play with them specifically or anything like that.”
“Did you want to keep a pet?”
“I just thought it might be abandoned. That would be pitiful.”
At her words, Kang Hyun nodded and looked out the window. They still hadn’t left the neighborhood where her grandparents lived.
The streets were so narrow and littered with cars parked haphazardly that even Chul Young, a veteran driver, seemed to be on high alert.
“Have you always lived here?”
“No, I moved here a few months ago.”
“Then before that?”
“I’ve always lived in this neighborhood. I just moved houses.”
Kang Hyun thought that once the drama schedule was over, he would have to visit them and help them move.
“You hardly slept, didn’t you? You look really tired.”
Yoon was worried as she saw Kang Hyun’s bloodshot eyes, as usual, today.
It was then. Suddenly, blood started to flow from Yoon’s nose. Surprised, Kang Hyun hurriedly took out a tissue and pressed it to her nose.
“What’s happening?”
Kang Hyun was flustered, but Yoon was calm. She had been having nosebleeds quite often recently. It was because she had been overdoing it, studying late into the night after dealing with school and household chores.
“Are you okay?”
“If I stay still like this, it will stop soon.”
“What? So, this happens often? Isn’t there something wrong?”
Kang Hyun furrowed his brow.
“I think it’s because I’ve been busy since school started. It gets better.”
Just as Yoon said, the bleeding stopped after a while. However, Kang Hyun was still upset by the sight of her nosebleed.
“We should go to the hospital first thing tomorrow.”
“Huh? Pfft!”
At Kang Hyun’s words, Yoon burst out laughing. His expression was too serious.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Why are you overreacting to a little nosebleed? I think it’s just because I’m tired.”
“Aren’t you studying too hard? It would be better to just quit everything. Even school.”
“What?”
Yoon was taken aback by Kang Hyun’s extreme words. Quitting her job because of a little nosebleed was absurd.
Indeed, for a few days when he was not around, she had stayed up almost all night studying. Yoon placed her cold hand into Kang Hyun’s warm one.
“I’m not overdoing it with my studies, but this is strange. Why am I getting nosebleeds?”
Yoon smiled brightly at the worried Kang Hyun, who frowned at her pallor.
A moment later, the three of them entered the house.
“We could just be in my room…”
Yoon, who had naturally assumed she would take the hedgehog to her room, followed Chul Young into an empty room on the lower floor, and spoke up as he carried the cage inside.
“Your room is small, how will we accommodate this little guy too?”
‘It’s not small.’
Yoon wanted to keep the hedgehog close and care for it, as it seemed to have many wounds. Its prickles were still standing up defensively, and it looked pitiful.
As Chul Young put the cage down, Yoon prepared a food bowl and water bowl.
“He doesn’t seem to want to come out.”
Chul Young muttered as he watched the hedgehog hiding in a corner. The hedgehog was still tightly huddled in its hiding spot.
“He seems scared.”
It had been abandoned by its previous owner, and the environment had already changed twice in one day. It was understandable that it was scared.
“It seems like he wants us to leave.”
Kang Hyun, with his arms crossed, leaned against the door and said.
“Yes, it seems so.”
Even so, Yoon couldn’t take her eyes off the hedgehog. At this, Kang Hyun approached and lifted her by her shoulder.
“Are you worrying about the hedgehog right now? Go up and rest.”
Wrapping his arm around Yoon’s shoulder, Kang Hyun led her out of the room.
“Don’t study today.”
When she smiled at his words, Kang Hyun furrowed his brows.
“Are you planning to study again today? Even after a nosebleed?”
Yoon gently smoothed his furrowed brow with her finger.
“I’ll just study a bit, then go to sleep.”
“No!”
“Huh?”
Startled by Kang Hyun’s loud voice, Yoon swayed slightly and Kang Hyun quickly wrapped one arm around her waist.
“Studying while having nosebleeds. There’s no need to go that far.”
Kang Hyun, who knew she was working hard, was shocked to learn that Yoon had been studying to the point of having nosebleeds.
Kang Hyun lifted her up in one arm and ascended the stairs.
“Put me down.”
Yoon beat his arm, struggling.
“Stay still. We’ll both fall.”
As Yoon continued to struggle, Kang Hyun ended up carrying her.
“You’re going to wash up and go to bed right away. I’ll make sure of it.”
“Okay, understood.”
Feeling dizzy as she looked over Kang Hyun’s shoulder at the stairs below, Yoon nestled comfortably into his embrace.
