She tried to focus on the sensations he was providing and gave herself over to him.

Perhaps that’s why this situation, where she could take him in fully with her eyes, made her very nervous and excited.

And it felt indescribably good.

So,

“I feel like I’m being drilled into.”
If it weren’t for In Ho’s voice that suddenly rang out, she could confidently say that she would have stayed like this all day, it was that good.

“Do I look more handsome today than usual?”
Startled by the sudden voice, Su Yeon hurriedly adjusted her posture and sat up.

In Ho raised one of his eyelids and chuckled.

Such a big reaction, even while he was just gently closing his eyes, he could clearly picture her movements.

“Were you not asleep?”
Su Yeon asked, flustered as never before.

His unexpectantly cute voice left him without an answer.

In Ho adjusted his posture and turned his head towards Su Yeon.

“I can only sleep if I can. Your gaze was so sharp and hot, it felt like my face was being drilled into.”
“You’re exaggerating…”
“I’m serious.”
Su Yeon protested in a tiny voice, her face burning red as she hung her head down.

In Ho chuckled mischievously and shrugged his shoulders.

Because of that, Su Yeon felt even more embarrassed.

She had believed that he was sound asleep, this was like a bolt from the blue.

The fact that she had been staring intently at him was undeniable, so she had no excuse.

Su Yeon exhaled heavily for no reason.

That’s when In Ho’s voice, filled with laughter, echoed throughout the van.

“Thank you for bringing the medicine here.”
Su Yeon stopped fidgeting with her fingers in embarrassment and slowly raised her head.

Thankful……

Had she heard him correctly?

“The medicine worked well. My head was throbbing to death just a while ago, but I feel like I’ve completely recovered. Is it because of the medicine you brought?”
As he spoke, In Ho gave a lovely smile.

Due to her heart starting to race instinctively, Su Yeon had to take a deep breath.

She hadn’t expected anything when she came here……

But it felt as though Su Yeon had received an unexpected gift.

‘Thank you’, those three words made her feel so good, she thought she might fly.

It was good, really.

Really very good.

“Of all the medicines I’ve taken, this one had the best effect.”
“…….”
“It also lasts for quite a while, so today should be quiet.”
Su Yeon smiled brightly even as her face turned red with embarrassment.

If there was a child who was overjoyed after being praised by their mother, it would be exactly how Su Yeon looked right now.

Suddenly, that sight made In Ho’s heart heavy.

“You too?”
He asked with a dark expression.

“What do you mean?”
“You also suffered from headaches often.”
As he spoke, In Ho narrowed his eyebrows.

Strangely enough, his heart ached.

The words from Su Yeon, saying it was the best medicine she had ever taken, felt like they were deeply embedded in his chest.

“If you take this medicine, will it be quiet for a day?”
The medicine bottle in his hand was the painkiller he had taken a few times when he found Su Yeon was unwell.

He didn’t remember using it much, but the bottom of the bottle was exposed.

The fact kept clawing at his heart.

“Yes, for about a day……”
In Ho exhaled a sigh.

Such a deep sigh, the size of his worry for her was palpably felt.

Su Yeon kept shifting her gaze around for no reason.

She didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, like a savior, Su Yeon’s cellphone rang noisily.

Su Yeon quickly grabbed her phone.

Without even looking at the screen, she could guess who the caller was.

It would be Youngseon.

Youngseon, who had already been revealing her discomfort on the call that came in the morning.

It seemed like her emotions were fluctuating quite frequently due to Inho’s recent change in behavior.

Any other time, she would have done her best to appease Youngseon, but today, she could not do so.

All of her nerves were focused on Inho, who had left for the shooting site.

Saying she had an urgent matter to attend to and couldn’t come early. Still, she would visit as soon as possible.

With that, she hastily ended the call.

The call she just received would likely be the result of emotions that suddenly surged while waiting for her.

SuYeon imagined the downpour of rebukes that were about to come as she hovered her finger over the call icon.

But at that moment, Inho reached out his hand abruptly and firmly gripped her hand holding the phone.

“Give it here,” Inho said with a surprisingly firm voice.

It was obvious he had realized that Youngseon was the one calling.

SuYeon fell into thought for a brief moment, but soon shook her head horizontally.

“It’s okay. I’ll answer it,” she said, her voice as firm as Inho’s.

Taken aback, Inho then put a lot of force into his gaze.

“It’s a call from my mother. She’s the one causing you trouble. This is something I need to take care of. So, give it here.”

SuYeon stared squarely at Inho.

She had heard Inho’s cold and distant voice countless times before, but today it felt different.

The nuance of the words he spat out in the same voice was oddly different.

“There’s been enough unreasonable treatment up until now. I told you, there’s no reason for you to endure such treatment. So from today onwards, pretend you don’t know and hide behind me. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Slowly, SuYeon blinked her trembling eyes.

Each of Inho’s words that rang in her ear made SuYeon’s heart throb.

To the point where she couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Although it wasn’t a situation to laugh at, SuYeon burst into laughter.

And she held her phone more stubbornly.

“No, it’s an assignment that mom and I need to solve. So I will answer this call. That’s the right thing to do.”

Her unusually sharp voice filled the van.

SuYeon faced Inho with a demeanor showing not a shred of hesitation.

Youngseon was Inho’s mother and my motherinlaw to be.

And the conflict between Youngseon and me was due to my issues.

She couldn’t always hide behind Inho’s back.

“If I need your help, Inho, I’ll let you know. You can step in then.”

As she said that, SuYeon smiled a blindingly bright smile.

It was a sight that couldn’t be forgotten even if one tried.

Because of this, Inho, who was holding SuYeon, relaxed his grip.

SuYeon, seizing the opportunity, quickly swiped across the screen.

In an instant, the phone touched her ear.

“Yes, mother.”
