Even in the shadows, his distinctly sparkling black eyes looked down at Yeo Reum.
After staring at him blankly for a moment, Yeo Reum said,
“I love you.”
His brows furrowed as if baffled.
But Yeo Reum spoke her true feelings.
“I, I love you, San Ha. I fell for you at first sight and I’m liking you more and more. Marry me. I’ll make you happy.”
As if dumbfounded, he laughed.
“I’m saying I love Gu San Ha the tiger.”
“I heard you, so stop it.”
He reacted indifferently and tried to sit up straight, removing his arm that was leaning on the bookshelf.
Yeo Reum swiftly crashed her lips onto his.
An even deeper crease formed between his beautiful brows.
But Yeo Reum mustered more courage.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to enter his mouth.
However, he blocked Yeo Reum with force.
A strong, sweet scent that seduced people was emanating from his entire body.
His fragrance drove people even crazier.
Yeo Reum tried her best to enter his lips, but he kept his lips tightly pressed.
“Ah, come on.”
Yeo Reum looked at him impatiently, but San Ha shook his head.
‘Are you really going to be like this?’
Yeo Reum’s eyes spoke to him.
‘Yeah, I’m going to be like this.’
The black eyes answered nonchalantly.
‘You’re too much!’
Seeing Yeo Reum glaring at him sulkily, he seemed to be smiling somehow.
He was arrogant, as if telling her to try it if she dared.
Then he removed Yeo Reum’s arms that were wrapped around his neck.
The more devastatingly beautiful that haughty smiling face was, the stronger the fighting spirit burned in Yeo Reum.
Yeo Reum pinched his waist.
“Ack!”
San Ha, who had been sticking close with his lips tightly sealed, let out a scream and his lips parted.
Yeo Reum wrapped her arms around his neck again and kissed him deeply.
A warm and pleasant feeling enveloped her entire body.
He had a blank expression for a moment.
Then he saw Yeo Reum messing up the inside of his mouth and grinning proudly.
He chuckled.
Yeo Reum was only eager but fumbling.
“Why are you laughing?”
Yeo Reum stopped her diligently moving lips and asked him.
‘He’s not impressed even though he’s totally fallen for my fatal charm, but laughing?!’
Is this funny?
She was upset.
However, the black eyes facing her in front twinkled leisurely.
He said,
“It’s your first time, isn’t it, magpie?”
“What is?”
“Kiss.”
Yeo Reum’s cheeks turned red.
San Ha laughed out loud.
“I thought you were a master at pouncing eagerly, but you’re a total novice. A novice.”
The more he giggled, the redder Yeo Reum’s face became.
“I’ll get used to it if I do it often.”
She remained shameless to the end.
Of course, seeing Yeo Reum flushed red to her neck, he laughed even more while holding his stomach.

“Want some?”
San Ha held out a hot dog to Yeo Reum.
“No thanks.”
She answered with a sulky face.
Yeo Reum’s drooping shoulders leaned against the bookshelf and she turned her head the other way.
She had mustered considerable courage to approach him, but felt like she had been completely knocked out.
“Really not eating?”
She answered with an even more deflated face.
“…I’m not eating.”
“Turn your head this way.”
“…I don’t want to.”
“Why?”
“You’ll laugh again, won’t you?”
“Does the magpie dislike me laughing?”
Somehow his voice sounded gloomy.
At that, Yeo Reum turned her head to look at him.
‘What’s with that rain-soaked tiger look…!’
It’s too fatal!
“Do you really hate it when I laugh?”
Hurriedly collecting her dazed mind, Yeo Reum answered,
“No. I like it. Because San Ha looks so pretty when he smiles. Even in this embarrassing moment, I still like and love Gu San Ha the tiger…!”
Suddenly, San Ha’s lips touched Yeo Reum’s lips.
Yeo Reum’s surprised eyes doubled in size.
“I like the spunky magpie.”
His sweet breath leaking through his low voice.
He repeatedly kissed Yeo Reum as if handling something precious, then held out the hot dog again.
“Want to eat?”
Yeo Reum, her face bright red, shouted,
“Sure!”
She quickly took a bite of the hot dog.
San Ha grinned.
‘Ah, this mischievous man!’
But I like him so much, what can I do!
“Oh right, this seems to be San Ha’s meal, is it okay for me to eat it?”
“Didn’t the magpie also miss lunch because of her part-time job?”
Hey, hey. This is why I can’t resist? You kind-hearted man!
“The owner said part-timers get one free drink, so I had a banana shake. San Ha, you eat this.”
She pushed the hot dog in front of her towards him.
“I roughly know how much the magpie eats, would that fill your stomach?”
“Of course not. But I shouldn’t take San Ha’s food.”
San Ha took a bite of the hot dog, then held it out to Yeo Reum again.
“Let’s share.”
I’d take a shot even if it was poison with that smile!
Yeo Reum quickly took a bite.
“No matter what, aren’t you eating too well without any shame?”
“Then scold me.”
“What?”
“That way San Ha will think of me.”
Seeing Yeo Reum grinning, his lips twitched.
“Greedy magpie.”
At his grumbling, Yeo Reum laughed even more.
That made her choke.
His large hand patted her back.
“You’re laughing because it’s a fact, right?”
At his indifferent words, laughter kept coming out.
Why do I laugh so much when I’m with this man?
Once she managed to catch her breath, he rubbed her back and said,
“From now on, put in two of the biggest ones when you eat banana shakes at the cafe, not just one.”
Yeo Reum turned back as if she didn’t understand.
“I’m the owner of this building. Sell me out to Boss Seo.”
“As the building owner’s girlfriend?”
Seeing Yeo Reum sticking close to him again, he answered,
“Not girlfriend, friend.”
“Where do you see friends who kiss?”
“I said friend.”
“Tsk, what good is a friend. To get the owner’s approval, you need to at least be a girlfriend since he’ll think you might become the ‘madam’ in the future.”
San Ha looked at Yeo Reum’s excessively sparkling eyes.
“Aing, can’t I be Gu San Ha the tiger’s pretty and cute girlfriend starting now? We’re clearly meant to be. Destiny.”
She clasped her hands under her chin and even fluttered her lashes wildly.
“Don’t do that. It doesn’t suit you.”
“Aaing, I want to be San Ha’s pretty and cute girlfriend. Hmm? Ah, hmm?”
Yeo Reum whined, coming close to his face.
He answered as if he had no choice.
“I’ll be friends with you.”
When she pouted her lips in disappointment, he said,
“If you don’t like it, then forget it.”
“No! I like it!”
“Really?”
“Of course! I like being Gu San Ha’s (girl)friend! I really like it!”
Yeo Reum let out shrieks of joy and hugged San Ha tightly, rubbing her face against him.
“I don’t think friends do this.”
“No. Close friends originally do this.”
“I don’t think so.”
“I’m telling you they do!”
Glancing at her lightly, he put the remaining hot dog in Yeo Reum’s mouth and grumbled.
“Well, whatever.”
*
“I think Ms. Jina put in a lot of fillings since you’re the building owner. My stomach is full to bursting.”
San Ha said while watching Yeo Reum patting her belly.
“Wasn’t it originally like that?”
Yeo Reum’s palm slapped his shoulder.
He frowned and hurriedly rubbed his shoulder.
“This is clearly a belly from eating hot dogs.”
“No it’s not. It’s not a belly that grew in a day or two.”
San Ha quickly rubbed his back again.
He grimaced in pain and glanced at Yeo Reum.
“I’m telling you it bloated like this from eating hot dogs. And they say women who have a prosperous belly live well.”
“Who said that?”
“The grandmas in our neighborhood.”
“These days people dislike it, calling it visceral obesity.”
As Yeo Reum clenched her fist, San Ha hurriedly dodged to the side and said,
“No. It’s prosperous! Super cute! Oh my, the round belly is so pretty!”
“Of course. This is all fortune. Fortune!”
San Ha just nodded his head while watching Yeo Reum patting her belly and insisting it was fortune.
Just then, Yeo Reum’s cell phone rang a short tone.
It was a photo sent by Team Leader Yang, showing Jung Mi and Ha Eun kneeling in front of the cleaning service team at Aquarium Resort.
“What’s this?”
San Ha asked while looking at the photo.
“Don’t you remember? That woman who splashed wine at the resort and grabbed my hair. This side is that woman’s mother.”
“But how did this happen?”
“It’s really funny how things work out in this world. Turns out, you know how this woman and I are related? She’s my distant great-aunt. And what’s even more absurd is that my dad recently found out through a car accident. PR Group’s Chairwoman Kang Ju Hwa is my grandmother. Apparently I’m PR Group’s only granddaughter and heiress.”
Seeing San Ha say nothing, Yeo Reum chuckled.
“What I’m saying probably sounds like a lie, right? Well, same for me.”
“No. I believe you.”
“Huh?”
“I said I believe you. So that’s why this belly was abundantly rich enough for a chaebol heiress.”
Yeo Reum’s hand slapped San Ha’s shoulder again.
He rubbed his shoulder in pain, but Yeo Reum felt refreshed just from telling him about her situation.
“But is it okay for you to be like this with me?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you’re the PR Group heiress, you’ll have a lot of money in the future and meet many better men, so is it fine to be like this with me?”
“There’s no one better than San Ha for me.”
“It sounds nice to hear, but isn’t it too hasty? You don’t know much about me.”
“That may be true, but I also know a lot if I do know.”
“What?”
Yeo Reum answered with a bright smile.
“I know San Ha is a really good person. And I’m certain you’re my destiny.”
“Destiny, huh. Does the magpie believe in that?”
“My dad said this a long time ago.”
“What did he say?”
“He said he knew in just 3 seconds that my mom walking towards him was the person he’d marry.”
“How romantic.”
Yeo Reum nodded her head with a smile.
“That’s right. He’s a hopeless romantic. At first, I thought my dad’s words were a joke. But after experiencing it myself, I understand. Those words are true. Actually, it only took 1 second for San Ha to capture my heart.”
“1 second?”
“Yes.”
Yeo Reum answered confidently.
“Does the magpie really believe I’m her destined partner?”
“Yes.”
Still seeing Yeo Reum without hesitation, San Ha said,
“But what to do? I have no thoughts of marriage.”
“Why?”
“It’s tiring.”
“How can you say that?”
“It’s hard enough taking care of just myself. How can I form a family? So take a good look around again. Because I’m not the magpie’s destiny.”
Yeo Reum grumbled,
“You reject me every time. You’re really too much.”
Just then, the wind chime on the comic book café door rang.
Footsteps approached the two of them.
“Oh?”
At that sound, both of their heads lifted at once.
Standing in front was Kyung Hee.
“Elder brother, you’re here?”
San Ha called Kyung Hee without reserve.
“Yeah. But why are you two…”
Seeing Yeo Reum sitting next to him, Kyung Hee had an expression that couldn’t quite understand.
“Ah, she’s my friend. We met here by chance.”
“…Friend?”
At Kyung Hee’s gaze, Yeo Reum answered,
“That’s right, (girl)friend.”
He nodded slowly with a dumbfounded face.
“Anyway, see you next time.”
San Ha cleanly bid farewell to Yeo Reum.
Having no choice, Yeo Reum stood up.
“Boss, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Yeo Reum walked out with a regretful expression.
Soon the sound of the wind chime rang and Kyung Hee strangely smiled, folding his arms.
“Is Yeo Reum really your friend?”
“Yeah.”
“Not girlfriend?”
“The magpie came to deliver to your café. We really met here by chance.”
“Magpie, huh. A mood-killing nickname for a girlfriend.”
“I said it’s not like that.”
“Got it.”
Kyung Hee grinned.
“Anyway, I told the magpie to eat an extra one each time she has banana shakes at the café. Remember that.”
“Hey, I’m the café owner. Why are you giving favors as you please?”
“You don’t want to renew the contract?”
“You said she’s not your girlfriend? Then why are you looking after Yeo Reum’s bananas?”
“That’s my business.”
“Hey, this is building owner bullying.”
“Should I properly raise the monthly rent to market price?”
Kyung Hee quickly approached San Ha and spoke in a lowered position.
“Why are you doing this, building owner! What’s one measly banana! Please have as much as you want!”
“Don’t nag about what the magpie eats from now on.”
“See, she is your girlfriend!”
“I said she’s not.”
San Ha now stood up from where he had been sitting.
“Hey, where are you going?”
“I’m done with my business here, so I need to go to work now.”
San Ha yawned lengthily and walked out of the comic book café with sluggish steps.
