How had a seemingly small prank escalated to this? Yeon Woo had no intention of revealing her identity and decided it was time to end this absurd standoff.
Should she just leave the station? As she looked around, she noticed a subway staff member in uniform passing by.
“Excuse me! Sir, please help me! This man is acting weird!”
“What are you trying to do?”
“Ah! Don’t come any closer, scammer!”
“Hey!”
The man’s shout made Yeon Woo flinch.
“What’s going on here?”
The commotion attracted the attention of more staff and onlookers.
“This man keeps asking me for money!”
“Hey, tell the truth! I asked to borrow it!”
“Sir, let’s not cause a scene here. Let’s talk.”
Eventually, the man was almost dragged away by the staff. Yeon Woo felt a sense of justice served.
“Hey! I’ll remember you!”
His angry shout didn’t scare her.
‘Phew. Time to catch the subway.’
Watching the con artist being led away, Yeon Woo leisurely scanned her transit card and smoothly passed through the gate.
She congratulated herself for not being deceived in this harsh world.
The weekend spent wildly with friends ended, and Yeon Woo returned to her busy routine of work, home, and secretly dating.
So occupied, she nearly forgot about her encounter with the scammer.
Then, just a moment ago, seeing the name of C Pharmaceuticals in her email reminded her of that man.
‘Is that guy still out there scamming people?’
It was such an absurd happening, it could have been sent as a story to a radio show.
She wanted to share it with others and laugh about it, but she had to keep it to herself for now.
Because the situation at the office was tense due to a major upheaval from C Pharmaceuticals.
“So, what did the CEO say?” Yeon Woo heard Lawyer Yang’s worried voice from Jun Hwi’s partially open door.
Yeon Woo’s attention was entirely focused there.
“Just general stuff. To find a solution without pushing too hard.”
“That’s typical of the CEO, always stepping back in these situations. It’s like dropping the heir at the last moment.”
C Pharmaceuticals, treading the fine line between legality and illegality, had recently signed a five-year comprehensive legal advisory contract with Roan & Yule, thanks to the diligent efforts of Lawyer Kwon Jun Hwi.
It meant Roan & Yule would provide comprehensive advice to help C Pharmaceuticals legally maximize their profits.
However, a dramatic heir struggle erupted within C Pharmaceuticals, resembling a TV drama.
The eventual winner, upon gaining control, immediately notified of terminating the advisory contract with Roan & Yule, citing unclear cost-benefit analysis and discomfort with sharing internal company information.
“The next chairman is known to be a real piece of work. C Pharmaceuticals will be noisy for a while.”
“…”
“Anyway, hang in there, Lawyer Kwon. It’s not completely over yet. Let me know if I can help, okay?”
After offering consolation, Lawyer Yang, exchanging glances with Yeon Woo, left Jun Hwi’s office with a heavy expression.
Yeon Woo, picking up some documents from her desk, briskly stood up.
Knock, knock. She gently knocked and cautiously entered Jun Hwi’s room.
Jun Hwi, who was massaging his temples, looked up at the sound of the knock.
“Are you okay? Is it serious?”
After ensuring no one was passing by, Yeon Woo closed the door completely.
Jun Hwi simply stretched out his arms. Yeon Woo quickly approached and nestled into his embrace.
“Hmm. I wasn’t okay, but now I think I might be.”
“Che, what kind of answer is that?”
“I’m recharging.”
Sitting Jun Hwi pulled Yeon Woo, standing in front of him, into a tight embrace, burying his face deeply into her.
“Where did you learn to say things like that?”
His lips, usually set in a frown or barking orders about work, surprised her with such sweet words.
Yeon Woo enjoyed these small changes in him, smiling broadly as she gently brushed his bangs with her fingers.
“Are you preparing for the meeting with C Pharmaceuticals now?”
Originally, the contract was almost unilaterally terminated, but thanks to Jun Hwi’s last-minute persuasion, they managed to secure a meeting with the newly reshuffled executives.
It was a meeting to start from scratch, persuading these hostile individuals anew. Naturally, there were many aspects to consider.
“Can I help with anything? Should I make the PPT?”
“There’s something much more important for Kim Yeon Woo to do.”
“What is it?”
“Stay with me. All weekend.”
Jun Hwi, who had been burying his face in her, now looked up at her intently.
Was it his deepening gaze? Even with just a look, the man in front of her sent her heart fluttering.
His intense eyes, combined with his straightforward request, suddenly transformed the atmosphere into something charged with an electric current.
Yeon Woo’s cheeks flushed instantly.
“Um, aren’t you working? Weekends are usually for busy presentation preparations.”
“That’s why I’m saying we should stay together. I need to recharge and have motivation to work without getting tired.”
How could she refuse, being declared his motivation?
Yeon Woo bit her lip and nodded. Pleased, he buried his face deep into her again.
Sigh. His deep breaths made a ticklish feeling flutter in her chest.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
