“Siwoo likes it. Let him play.”
“Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk. Really…… Hik!”
Before she could say anything, Da Jung’s vision spun around. As she hurriedly hugged something, her arms were wrapped around his neck.
“Da Jung, you’re hurting. You should rest.”
“…….”
Da Jung, who had forgotten to speak, swallowed a moan while hugging his neck.
Oh my. Being carried like a princess!
It was the most embarrassing moment next to the sports car.
“Eat up.”
His tone was close to commanding, yet the way he stroked her head and turned away seemed like a gentle protector.
Da Jung silently stared at the tray in front of her. A bowl of plainlooking beef porridge and clean white kimchi were neatly served.
Perhaps it was because she had been fasting for so long. Saliva quickly filled her mouth.
After finishing the bowl of porridge quickly, she fell asleep again. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.
The space filled with warm orange light, and a deep breathing sound echoed around.
The first scene Da Jung saw when she opened her eyes was a large hand gently stroking her small back.
A man, his arms folded to support his head, lay with his chest rising and falling. Seated upon his chest, Siwoo’s back too rose and fell in sleep.
The tender scene brought a languid smile to Dajeong’s lips.
Yet again, she had slept so well in someone else’s house.
Feeling embarrassed, Dajeong carefully rose. As she stirred, Jung Hyuk, who had been pretending to sleep, lifted his eyelids. His eyes, somewhat drowsy yet focused, met hers.
“……I think I should leave.”
“Not today, tomorrow.”
He cut her off firmly and turned his eyes toward the table.
“Look at that.”
In the direction he indicated, a small shopping bag lay.
Moments later, she looked puzzled as her eyes alternated between the latest smartphone and Jung Hyuk’s face.
“It’s broken. I thought you might be inconvenienced.”
“……”
As a complicated question surfaced on Dajeong’s face, he preemptively added, there was no need to be offended.
“It’s not free. You’ll have to repay me later.”
Dajeong sniffled awkwardly. Considering her financial situation recently, protesting his arbitrary decision seemed pointless.
“Thank you, Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk. Please let me know your account number and the amount.”
“Sure.”
Toward the woman who confirmed the payment, Jung Hyuk gave a cool nod.
Ordinarily, he might have been annoyed that she rejected his generous offer.
However, now he knew that Yoo Da Jung’s behavior was not a calculating act with ulterior motives.
“Anyway, thank you for caring.”
The new mobile phone had been meticulously restored, from its USIM to its data.
Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong.
As soon as she turned on the power, the message notification rang nonstop. There were a few workrelated messages. All the rest were from Soli.
Letting out a sigh, Dajeong hurriedly pressed the call button. Before the ringing had sounded three times, Soli’s screaming voice pierced her ear.
“Hey! What have you been doing? Why are you calling just now!”
Her voice shouted, but it was almost crying. Apparently, she was quite anxious because she could not get in touch.
“I’m sorry. My phone was broken. I’ll tell you more later.”
With that, she managed to assuage Soli’s worry and the call ended. All this while, Jung Hyuk quietly stared at the ceiling, soothing Siwoo’s back.
“Yoo Da Jung.”
At his whispered call, she lifted her eyes and he began to speak seriously.
“I was going to refrain from saying this due to my pride. But I can’t win yet.”
Dajeong slightly furrowed her brows. She could not follow the man’s sudden train of thought.
“Win who?”
“Grandmother.”
His grandmother? Park Jong Soo, the chairman of MyungHan Group?
Dajeong’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk’s grandmother?”
“Yes. She’s the final boss.”
His way of referring to his grandmother was so childlike that it made her laugh.
“Your grandmother must be quite terrifying, huh?”
“It was more exhausting than scary. If Yoo Shi Woo is a baby tiger and I am a regular tiger, the old woman would be, perhaps…….” He stopped talking, deep in thought.
“Maybe a thousandyearold tiger?”
He had heard of thousandyearold creatures, but never a tiger. Despite his serious expression as he made his joke, Da Jung found herself laughing again.
“But why are we suddenly talking about your grandmother, Mr. Cha Jung Hyuk?”
His eyes, which had been staring at the ceiling, turned to the side. His usually calm gaze held a determined look.
“I’m going to try my best.”
“……?”
His long finger that moved towards her puzzled face, gently brushed her loose hair behind her ear.
“So, Yoo Da Jung, fight on.”
The next day, when Da Jung returned to her apartment, she noticed a strange object attached to the entrance door. It was a stateoftheart door lock with fingerprint and facial recognition features.
“Now, shall our little one give it a try?”
