“Sorry, isn’t it too late?”
In front of Shin Yeon’s studio apartment.
Seong Min parked the car where she could easily get off.
It seemed quite a while had passed as he dropped off Min Deputy and returned.
The night street seen through the window was quiet.
“I like driving. I enjoy the ride.”
Seong Min smiled to make Shin Yeon feel comfortable.
“Chi, thanks for saying that.”
“If you’re grateful, it would be even better if you bought me a coffee next time.”
“Then, of course.”
Shin Yeon nodded her head vigorously at his words.
Knowing that even asking for coffee was his consideration to relieve her guilt, she was very grateful.
Ziiing.
Interrupting the unbuckling of her seatbelt, Shin Yeon opened her cell phone.
It had been vibrating continuously since earlier.
Without thinking, Shin Yeon checked the message and quickly put her phone in her bag in surprise.
“Who’s that? They all look handsome.”
A step too late.
Seong Min had seen Jung Eun’s text full of male profiles, possibly trying to mobilize all her acquaintances.
In the dark car with no lights, Shin Yeon’s phone was too bright.
“Ah, that, that is……”
In fact, she had had a lot on her mind since the moment she got into the car.
As she glanced at Seong Min driving, she became more and more greedy.
Seeing him driving leisurely with one hand, basking in the city lights, he looked great to anyone.
Tempting…..
Ah, really, it would be perfect if he took her.
Should she close her eyes and ask just once.
“Uh, Oppa.”
Shin Yeon, who had decided on something, had a very serious expression.
She swallowed a dry gulp.
“Hmm?”
Seong Min looked at her, who had suddenly become very serious, with a puzzled look.
“Can I have that coffee now, by any chance?”
Late hour.
Shin Yeon, who had completely forgotten that it was a time and place prone to misunderstandings, gathered her courage.
It was a grave expression.
“Then…… shall we?”
Seong Min’s face seemed to turn red for some reason.
((()))
“I’ll drink well. Shin Yeon.”
Seong Min’s face, raising the coffee, was no longer red.
“I’ll buy it at a real coffee shop next time. I’m sorry. I forgot that it’s time for the coffee shops to close.”
“No, it’s all the same coffee. It’s enough.”
Umbrella in front of the convenience store.
It was the brightest spot near Shin Yeon’s dark home.
Seong Min smiled as if to say it was okay.
Anyway, unless someone makes coffee at home, all coffee drunk outside is just the same coffee.
Whether it’s convenience store coffee or specialty store coffee, it doesn’t mean much.
“Sorry for having coffee when you’re tired.”
“I was sleepy to drive, but I’m okay.”
Sungmin calmly swallowed the bitter coffee in front of him.
Whether or not he knew Sungmin’s feelings, a cool summer night breeze blew into the parasol.
“By the way, Shin Yeon. We’ll be seeing each other often.”
“Ah, right.”
It was Sungmin at the Hanshin Electronics Wireless Business Division.
As she got passed for the R7 planning, she had many occasions to meet him.
“I’ve always wanted to work with you, Shin Yeon. I’m looking forward to it.”
“I’m the one who should be saying that. Please take care of me, advertiser.”
Hanshin Electronics was a big buyer for Hanshin Planning.
It was Shin Yeon who really needed to be taken care of.
“People who went into PT earlier were all praising.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It was the talk at the company dinner. It’s a pity I couldn’t attend due to an outside schedule.”
Shin Yeon’s presentation was perfect.
What was even more perfect was the Q&A process for the plan.
Not only did she have a lot of data that people in electronics liked, but she also had a high understanding of the product itself.
People gathered their mouths and praised her.
“You’re talented, Shin Yeon. I’m proud as a special recruit classmate.”
“Oh, don’t exaggerate.”
At Sungmin’s praise, Shin Yeon gave an awkward smile again.
But at that moment, the presentation wasn’t the important thing.
Her mind was so complicated that she couldn’t hear the praises.
What should I say?
What should I say to look less… weird?
It was a very awkward history to ask from.
“Brother, I have something to tell you……”
But it was too late to delay any longer.
Shin Yeon clenched the coffee in her hand.
“I’ve been hesitating for a while now…”
At this point, Sungmin seemed to blush again, as if he wouldn’t be fooled anymore.
“If you’re free tomorrow……”
Once again, Shin Yeon mustered up the courage.
“Can you… be my boyfriend?”
A puzzled expression appeared on his blushing face.
Shin Yeon, who had watched Sungmin’s face, then realized the strangeness.
“Ah! The words are a bit weird. That’s because, my marriage… ugh!”
In the midst of uttering an awkward excuse, Shin Yeon, who was startled, screamed.
“Why are you surprised?”
It was Do Jun.
With his hands in his pockets, he stood slanting and looked at them.
“Ah, no! You suddenly appeared. Um, when have you been here?”
Looking at the loosely undone necktie, it was clear that he had had a tough time serving this director.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
