He extended his left arm.
“Me?”
“Too tired.”
“Should I really?”
“If you don’t want to, don’t.”
He sighed languidly.
Conflicted, Yeoreum moved closer and sat down.
‘Look at his hand. Why are even his veins so attractive?’
His large, masculine hand had long, beautiful fingers.
She admired his hand for a moment, then quickly snapped out of it when she saw his hand tremble.

She dabbed antiseptic on the cotton and carefully applied it to his scraped hand, then aired it dry.
Afterward, she applied a bandage with a printed character on it and gave him a spare one.
“Take care then.”
Yeoreum stood up to leave after bowing again.
“Did you secure the CCTV footage?”
He spoke.
“Pardon?”
“Those people, they’re not the type to let things go.”
“Oh, I’ve reported today’s incident to the front desk, and they said they’d send the CCTV footage tomorrow as the person in charge is absent.”
“Do you trust that?”

“Pardon?”
“There’s hardly anyone trustworthy in this world.”
“The staff here are all nice. Kind. Thank you for your concern.”
Yeoreum bowed again and turned to leave.
“Do you like cake?”
His previously closed eyes now looked at Yeoreum.
Caught by his gaze, she responded a beat too late.
“Yes, of course, I love it!”
His slender finger pointed towards something.
She approached and opened the refrigerator, revealing a cake box inside.

“Take it.”
“Why give it to me?”
“I’m too lazy to throw it away. You don’t have to take it if you don’t want.”
The packaging was clearly luxurious, and the cake inside was undoubtedly expensive.
‘Why waste such a thing?’
“Thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”
She bashfully bowed her head and then noticed a small pink card stuck on the cake box.
“Did you check this card?”
“No.”
Hearing that, Yeoreum approached him with the card in hand.
“Here.”

He took the card she extended towards him but crumpled it up and threw it towards the trash can.
“You’re not going to read the message?”
“No.”
His response was simple.
With nothing more to say, Yeoreum turned to retrieve the cake. She noticed the card he had thrown on the floor. Due to its crumpled state, the message inside was visible.
“Happy Birthday.
―Rin”
“Is it your birthday today?”
She asked him, still lying on the sofa.
“Yeah.”

“Did you have seaweed soup?”
“No.”
“What about a birthday song?”
“There wasn’t any.”
“Did you receive any gifts?”
“No. Why?”
In a sudden bout of excessive concern, Yeoreum offered, “Should I sing a birthday song for you?”
He opened his eyes, slightly bewildered.
“What?”
“I owe you for saving me earlier. I must repay the favor.”

Yeoreum approached him again.
“You know the saying, a magpie repays its debt, right?”
‘…Have I lost my mind? What am I doing? This man is not my brother, he’s a stranger I met today. And I’m offering to sing him a birthday song? Yeoreum, get a grip!’
But her words contradicted her thoughts.
“There are still five minutes until midnight, so I’ll do it. But, what’s your name? How old are you?”
“Are you trying to hit on me?”
“It’s not flirting, I just want to sing a birthday song.”
He chuckled.
The more she saw, the more irresistible his million-dollar smile became.
“I’m thirty. My name is Gusanha.”

“I see.”
“Why don’t you give me a gift too?”
“What?”
He lightly waved his arms.
“Dance while you sing.”
“Should I?”
Yeoreum tossed her bag onto the sofa opposite him and cleared her throat.
“Ye, Ye, Happy Birthday Gusanha! Check it out now!”
She beatboxed and started dancing, performing a broadcast dance she had learned for a month.
As she enthusiastically moved and did an amateur moonwalk, he sat up from lying on the sofa.

“Happy birthday to you, Ye. Happy birthday to you, Ye. Happy birthday dear Gusanha, Ye, Ye, Ye!”
Seeing his widened eyes, Yeoreum shouted even louder.
“One More Time!”
Now she was jumping around the sofa, playing air guitar with a cushion, letting down her long hair for headbanging.
Suddenly, he sat up on the sofa.
Yeoreum sang and danced more vigorously, seeing him smile.
“Didn’t know you were a singer?”
After her bizarre celebration song, he remarked.
“Yes, I can sing.”
Watching his refreshing laughter, she felt even her crazy antics were worthwhile.

Then, seeing the clock on the wall, Yeoreum grabbed her bag.
“Leaving?”
“I need to catch the train. And thank you for this, I’ll enjoy it!”
Yeoreum smiled broadly at him, bowing her head. She then left with the expensive cake in tow.
After a morning shower, Yeoreum opened the fridge in the kitchen and was taken aback.
Seeing the cake box prominently displayed reminded her of the previous day’s events.
Realizing what she had done in front of a stranger made her face feel like it was about to explode with embarrassment.
She took out the cake box and placed it on the table.
Inside was an incredibly beautiful cheese cake, seemingly a product of her embarrassing actions from yesterday.
“No, no. I was just repaying a favor.”

Right.
It wasn’t that she was smitten with the man, she was simply being a magpie repaying a debt.
But as the man’s beautiful face and sensual body again floated before her eyes, Yeoreum scooped a large piece of cake with a fork and put it in her mouth.
‘Ah, why is this so delicious?’
It tasted exceptional.
It must have been made by a master pastry chef.
Perhaps it was the sweets, but her mood suddenly improved.
Yeoreum divided the cake into pieces, storing them in food containers in the fridge and also putting three pieces in a ziplock bag.
‘I’ll share this with the people at the office.’
Humming cheerily, she placed the ziplock in her bag.
That’s when the name ‘Rin’ written on the card popped into her head.

It sounded like a woman’s name, and a very pretty woman at that.
‘Such a handsome and cool guy couldn’t possibly be single.’
But did they have a fight?
With a twinge of envy, she scooped up more cake and ate it.
‘Ah, it’s really delicious.’
She blissfully continued eating with her fork.
Then her phone on the table rang with an unknown number. She ignored it, but it kept ringing before finally stopping.
Shortly after, she received a text message notification.
Nonchalantly checking it, Yeoreum’s eyes widened in shock.
“The Haeundae Police Station’s Investigator Kim Sangmoon informs you that you have been accused of assaulting Kang Haeun at the Woarium Resort last night. Please call us back upon receiving this message.”
