What Taein wrote was correct.

Perhaps Taein had known from the beginning. Jeongli couldn’t understand why he didn’t reject her. She couldn’t figure out why Taein was showing her such favor.

Jeongli desperately held back the tears that were about to burst out.

“Sister, what’s that?”

Jeongdon, who looked puzzled at his sister’s expression, asked.

“Ah, it’s nothing.”

Hastily trying to put the letter back in the envelope, a piece of paper behind it fell off.

Jeongdon, who picked up the paper, shouted.

“Wow! It’s ‘Rudolf’s Journey.'”

“What’s that?”

Jeongli looked at the tickets in Jeongdon’s hands.

“I wanted to see this! Thank you, sister!”

Jeongdon shouted, jumping around.
It was a ticket to a musical performance. Finally, she understood the meaning of spending time with family.

Jeongli couldn’t hold back the tears she had been holding in.

At the mention of “2 nights 3 days,” Taein froze.

During the 2 nights and 3 days, Nokhyun seemed to have a clear idea of what to do in the hotel.

Taein hesitated for a moment. There were voices expressing concern about the young CEO’s management skills. She had to stabilize the temporarily lowered stock prices, reassure the directors, and take responsibility for the employees working at Taegang.

However, she couldn’t refuse.

Because she couldn’t miss the happiness right in front of her.

“Okay, but I have to work during breaks. Can you understand?”

“Of course.”

Nokhyun answered as if it were no trouble. Taein felt a bit uneasy but decided not to ask any further.

They moved by Nokhyun’s car and soon arrived at the hotel. It was a Royal Suite with a private swimming pool.

While Nokhyun checked the bed first, Taein checked the workspace.

As Taein looked around the spacious and comfortable hotel, she was overwhelmed by the desire to spend the whole day lounging around without working.

But she had to work.

Taein took out her laptop and tablet and set them up.

Charging her phone so she could receive work calls at any time made her feel a little relieved.

“Can I work a little? I need to check when the employees will leave.”

“As much as you want. I’m fine.”

Thanks to Nokhyun’s consideration, Taein could work at ease. When she quickly checked the newly piled-up emails and finished a virtual meeting, the room service ordered by Nokhyun arrived.

Seeing the various snacks prepared on the table, Taein’s eyes widened.

“Can we eat all of this?”

“You’ll eat it, Taein.”

With a fresh smile, Nokhyun picked two poached chicken legs from Taein’s plate.

“You know, the significance of two chicken legs.”

“I’m really loved.”

Taein bit into the chicken legs with a touched expression.

It occurred to her that she hadn’t properly taken care of today’s meals. After finishing the two chicken legs, it was abalone.

“But why are all the foods so…”

“We need to replenish energy. 2 nights and 3 days are shorter than you think.”

Nokhyun continuously fed Taein with food.

It was far from enough to resolve the piled-up desires and cravings.

So, without collapsing in the middle, energy had to be replenished.

“To that extent…”

As Taein stealthily moved backward, Nokhyun embraced her, seating her on her lap.

The sensation of Nokhyun’s firm body made Taein’s spine tingle.

“Shall we start when you’re full?”

“No, I’m not full at all.”

“I knew that.”

Smiling, Nokhyun cut a steak into an appropriate size and fed it to Taein.

“It’s really delicious.”

Even in this dangerous situation, the food was delicious. As Taein’s eyes sparkled, Nokhyun looked at her with eyes full of affection.

Even while eating, Taein had to work during the short breaks because of the constantly ringing phone.
When there was no room left in the stomach, even eating dessert became difficult.

“I can’t eat anymore.”

Taein said in a languid voice, stroking her belly with her hand.

“Then… ”

Nokhyun closed the laptop, placed Taein’s phone in her hand, and set it down on the table.

Upon this, Taein suddenly came to her senses.

“Al, already? I feel like I’ve eaten too much…?”

Looking down at her stomach, Taein urgently spoke. Nokhyun, without hesitation, unbuttoned Taein’s blouse.

In an instant, Taein, who had undressed, covered her body with her arms.

Nokhyun chuckled and hugged Taein.

Then she led her to the bathroom.

“The temperature seems okay, how is it?”

Taein’s toes touched the water in the bathtub.

“I-I’m okay.”

After hearing that it was okay, Nokhyun carefully lowered Taein into the bathtub.

With a touch like handling a baby, Taein felt dazed in Nokhyun’s hands.

“It’s a bath bomb good for relieving fatigue. Take your time and come out.”

“Are you… just leaving?”

As Taein, who was about to leave the bathroom, spoke behind Nokhyun, she turned around.

“Why, were you expecting something?”

“…I fed you a lot of snacks.”

“Oh, you were expecting something, right?”

Nokhyun, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, looked down at Taein.

Her intense gaze fixed on Taein’s body hidden beneath the opaque water.

The body relaxed by the warm water tensed for a moment.

“Rather than expecting something…”

When Taein awkwardly avoided eye contact, Nokhyun gently held Taein’s wet chin, persistently locking eyes.

“Disappointing.”

In fact, she had anticipated it even before entering the hotel. Because she thought Nokhyun wouldn’t leave her alone.

However, Nokhyun only leisurely watched Taein like a satisfied predator.

“A little disappointed?”

At Taein’s honest reaction, Nokhyun burst into laughter. Nokhyun’s lips touched Taein’s forehead, eyelids, and the bridge of her nose, moving slowly.

Her lips, hotter than the water temperature, gently touched and then deeply intertwined with Taein’s lips. Taein’s eyes, which had been blinking, closed tightly. Nokhyun opened her lips slightly, capturing the warm and sweet breath, and then finally released her lips.

With disappointment in her eyes, Taein looked at Nokhyun with wet eyes. As if unable to bear it any longer, she furrowed her eyebrows and opened her mouth.

“Then, shall we wash together?”
