The next day, at lunch.

Su-yeon, who had overslept, prepared a meal for In-ho, who had just woken up.

When everything was almost ready, In-ho finished showering and sat at the dining table.

“Let’s eat.”

“Yeah. Thanks. You should eat quickly too.”

In-ho, in a hurry because he was hungry, picked up his chopsticks and ate without replying.

Su-yeon looked at In-ho with a puzzled expression, not even thinking about having a meal.

“Are you very hungry?”

“Yeah. The dinner I had last night didn’t satisfy me.”

“…Oh, at our house?”

Su-yeon, who momentarily forgot about yesterday’s incident, showed a discomforted expression again.

Realizing that In-ho had made a slip of the tongue, she sank into deep thought.

She needed a diversion.

A reason that could make Su-yeon feel comfortable again.

Just then, a suitable topic flashed in his mind like a spark.

“I wanted to eat a lot, but I couldn’t.”

“…Did your mom notice?”

“My mother? No, she didn’t notice.”

In-ho shamelessly nodded, making Su-yeon even more puzzled.

“But why couldn’t you eat a lot?”

“It’s because of your body.”

“Why is that?”

“How can you eat a lot? I know how little you usually eat. Don’t you think people there didn’t know that?”

Although it was just a roundabout way of saying the first thing that came to his mind, fortunately, Su-yeon didn’t say anything.

In-ho resumed his meal. Perhaps because he had recovered from yesterday’s fatigue, the food tasted even better.

Unfortunately, he didn’t notice that Su-yeon’s expression was subtly changing.

‘Something definitely happened yesterday…’

Su-yeon pondered as she crunched on a grain of rice with her chopsticks.

She had been thinking all night, but she couldn’t bring herself to believe In-ho’s words.

Nothing happened?

She boldly lied to Dong-hoon about disliking him and wanting to marry her sister?

Yet, Hyekyung showed no signs of it?

‘…It doesn’t make sense.’

She couldn’t believe it.

If she had done the same thing with In-ho’s face, it might have been different, but when Soo-yeon did that, there was no way nothing happened.

If it had been in front of Dong-hoon, she should have sent him away first and stayed behind alone, even if she had to keep him still.

But yesterday, In-ho left the house safely with Dong-hoon after having my face.

Although it was fortunate in hindsight, it was something Hyekyung couldn’t just let go.

While watching In-ho enjoying his meal, Su-yeon, who had stopped crunc
Su-yeon approached In-ho without hesitation and leaned her waist against him.

kiss

Lips met, separated, and produced a delicate sound.

In-ho, who was caught off guard by an unexpected stolen kiss, blinked his eyes in confusion, not fitting the situation.

“…What are you doing instead of eating?”

Although the comment was undoubtedly a perfect fit for Choi Su-yeon’s face, the tone felt strangely awkward.

Whether she said something or not, Su-yeon fell into despair.

Clearly, after the last kiss, her body returned to normal right away.

But now, there was no change at all.

‘Ah, maybe it’s not a peck but a kiss?’

Su-yeon hurriedly leaned her waist again, thinking.

In-ho, who quickly noticed her movement, skillfully avoided her.

“Why are you avoiding me?”

“I asked the question first. What are you doing instead of eating? The person who used to run away when I tried to kiss.”

At the words hitting home, Su-yeon lost her words and made a dejected expression.

“I want to turn my body back to the way it was.”

“Why?”

“Why, you ask? You want to continue like this? Me pretending to be you, and you pretending to be me?”

Annoyed, Su-yeon stomped her foot.

Originally, she would have scolded him for doing such a thing with her face, but in In-ho’s current state, smoothly moving past the situation was more important.

Considering what happened at the Tae Shin residence yesterday, she couldn’t return to being Su-yeon now.

In-ho nervously avoided eye contact while continuing to talk.

“I’ve done it several times, so it should be familiar. I find it fun in my own way. I get to know you better while being in your body, and it’s kind of nice.”

“Why did you light the scented candle? Did you know that you would change bodies if you lit that scented candle?”

Su-yeon brought up the question that she had avoided last night.

Pretending not to care, In-ho felt a headache about how to handle this.

‘Just eating well; nothing else seems to be going well.’

He complained silently while busily thinking.

However, no matter how much he thought and tried, he couldn’t come up with an excuse that would convince Su-yeon.

‘Ah, let’s just deny it for now and see.’

Looking at Su-yeon, In-ho shamelessly said, “I didn’t know it was that scented candle.”

“What are you saying? Does that make sense?”

“I got confused. When I came home yesterday, you weren’t there, and you seemed tired, but strangely, I couldn’t fall asleep. You used to light the scented candle on days when you had severe insomnia. I thought of that and tried to imitate it, but I didn’t know it was that scented candle.”
