Junghyuk quickly finished his shower. Normally, he would have leisurely taken a bath, especially after being caught in the rain. However, with Yuda-jung at his place, there was no way the shower could be leisurely.
Wearing a loose-knit sweater hastily tucked into black slacks, he walked into the living room, where Manager Min was sitting on the sofa, waiting for him.
“When did you arrive?”
“About 5 minutes ago.”
Covering his wet hair with a towel, Junghyuk buried himself in the center of the sofa. Manager Min, as if waiting for him, brought out a tablet PC.
“Designs you’re currently seeing are the F/W new releases.”
Leisurely crossing his legs and flipping through the screen, Junghyuk’s head tilted with a puzzled expression.
Raising his eyebrows in a seemingly perplexed manner, he examined several items after careful consideration.
“Prepare the ones I’ve checked here.”
“Understood. Is there anything else you need?”
Out of habit, Junghyuk raised his left arm, only to realize belatedly that his wristwatch was missing. He checked the time on his phone.
“How long will it take?”
“Are you in a hurry?”
“No, not really… I’m just worried my son might cry, missing his mom.”
Sincerely concerned, Junghyuk made this remark, but Manager Min burst into laughter, as if finding it amusing. It was evident that he considered Junghyuk to be about the same age as his son.
Receiving such treatment wasn’t bad at all, and Junghyuk subtly lifted the corners of his mouth.
“If possible, try to get ready within an hour.”
“Okay, got it.”
Casually saying so and rising from his seat, Manager Min left with a short bow.
Heading to the kitchen, Junghyuk opened the cabinet. After some contemplation, he took out a glossy, white mug and faced the capsule machine at the end of the Irish-style table.
Among various types, the capsule selected by him was inserted into the machine, and the extraction button was pressed.
Ziiiiing.
Warmth spread with a sweet chocolate scent gently wafting through the unfamiliar space.

By the time Dajeong finished her shower, she couldn’t tell how much time had passed. She was aware only of the time flowing, considering the briefness of a bath and the length of a shower.
She and Junghyuk had agreed to shower separately before meeting later. However, realizing that she didn’t know when “later” would be, she became concerned belatedly.
Hastily wrapping a bath towel around her wet body and using a small towel to cover her hair, Dajeong didn’t want to keep him waiting.
Even in the meantime, the luxurious and soft lingering fragrance of the body wash felt pleasant to her nose.
Eventually, standing in front of the built-in dressing table in the powder room, Dajeong lost her mind for a moment. The moment she realized something, she sighed.
She had no clothes to wear. Furthermore, she recognized that it was a very serious problem.
Just as she stepped out of the shower and faced the mirror with a white face, blinking her eyes cutely, while trying to come up with a solution, a rustling sound caught her ear.
If the guess was correct, it was the sound of slippers dragging. Terrifyingly, a shadow suddenly rushed into the powder room.
“Eek!”
Startled by the man reflected in the mirror, Dajeong involuntarily took a step back, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Ch-Cha Junghyuk! What’s going on? Get out now!”
As if encountering a pervert in the alley, Junghyuk let out a cold laugh at her reaction.
“Yuda-jung, you often seem to forget that we’ve even made a child together.”
Nonchalantly murmuring, he approached while unfolding a well-worn T-shirt.
Although startled, Dajeong hunched her shoulders, but the large hand unhesitatingly slipped under her armpits in a sneak attack.
“Kyaa!”
In an instant, Dajeong, too shocked, let out a scream. Simultaneously, the startled arm and leg flailed in the air. Meanwhile, something soft touched beneath her buttocks.
After seating Dajeong on the dressing table, Junghyuk was spreading the matched parts of the brought T-shirt. It was a moment when the scream turned into bewilderment.
Sitting there, kicking off a fuss, Junghyuk chuckled, detached the wristwatch, and looked at her.
“What were you imagining?”
“Nothing at all.”
The face, awkwardly peeled off, blushed like a hot lava.
Junghyuk spread the T-shirt and inserted Dajeong’s head into it. Then, he briskly pulled left and right, dragging the T-shirt down.
“No matter how hard I looked, this is the only thing suitable for you. Try it on. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to wear it.”
“I like it unconditionally.”
Jumping down from under the dressing table, Dajeong happily put her arms into the T-shirt. The white T-shirt exuded the scent of softener.
Pulling down the lower hem to cover about her buttocks, unfortunately or fortunately, the loosened bath towel fell off onto her insteps.
“Are you okay?”
“Not okay. Is there only something this big?”
Complaining, Dajeong shook the long sleeve that dangled below her fingertips. Then, Junghyuk scratched near his eyebrows and asked.
