“I’ll have to ask for Dojun’s favor. I’m really in your debt now.”
“De, debt? Why would you say something like that?”
Ring.
Suddenly, the door opened.
“Are you here? That call took a while.”
As Dojun stepped into the entrance, Director Kim greeted him.
“……”
The scene Dojun encountered as soon as he opened the door was quite unfamiliar.
Juno, who was laughing meaningfully.
Shin Yeon, who couldn’t take her eyes off him.
Dojun’s expression hardened subtly.
“If you’re done with your business, leave.”
The time grew darker.
Dojun of the grumpy night came again.
“Ah… Yes.”
Shin Yeon, who was staring blankly at Juno, suddenly came to her senses.
He said he was scarier than he thought.
She decided to listen to him more.
She began to fumble for her bag.
“Dojun, can’t you speak nicely?”
Juno was the righteous one, representing Shin Yeon’s feelings.
Is it because he’s a friend that he knows how to tame him?
“You leave too.”
Of course, that couldn’t happen.
Juno, who was about to be chased away together, shook his head in refusal.
“Then, I’ll go ahead first.”
“Yes, go in.”
Shin Yeon, who had already picked up her bag, bowed in greeting.
She quickly stepped outside.
Juno sent her off warmly until she closed the door.
Ring.
Thud.
“What on earth were you talking about to make such a stunned face?”
Only after hearing Shin Yeon entering the next house, Dojun voiced out.
“Why, are you curious?”
Juno looked at him with intrigued eyes.
“If you don’t want to talk, don’t.”
Dojun didn’t want to seem defeated for some reason.
Pretending to be uninterested, he walked to the sofa and picked up the remaining documents.
“Dojun seems a bit strange…”
“What is it?”
The expression of Juno, who had followed Dojun to the sofa, was subtle.
“Why did you suddenly kick out Manager Shin? Why are you asking what we talked about?”
“What?”
“Just like someone jealous of me talking with Manager Shin.”
“……”
Despite the sudden silence, Juno didn’t stop speaking.
“Isn’t that strange?”
He even smiled as if he had discovered something very amusing.
“Kim Juno.”
“Yes.”
Dojun, calling him, slightly furrowed his brows.
“It’s raining outside. And I am the landlord.”
“But?”
Despite Dojun’s words, Juno was still grinning.
“Didn’t you think it’s weirder for a landlord to leave a perfectly good house and get wet in the rain while taking a phone call?”
Do Jun brushed the raindrops off his shoulder in a defiant manner.
His eyes held a trace of unfairness.
Due to the structure of the apartment building where the outside was exposed, he had to face the blowing rain throughout the call.
“No, just call inside the room…”
“The chairman’s call?”
“… You couldn’t have received it.”
Jun Oh, who was trying to make excuses, suddenly changed his direction.
The look of unfairness on Do Jun’s face was still there.
“Okay. I understand you want to kick me out.”
“So, you better leave too. It’s raining more and more outside.”
“How sweet.”
“Get out.”
Looking at Do Jun with affection, Jun Oh got up.
Tap tap, he gathered the documents on the table and headed for the entrance.
“Do Jun Seo. Even if you want to go, let’s talk.”
Just before he left the room, he turned his body towards Do Jun.
“Please be nice to Chief Shin. Don’t make it uncomfortable.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”
“That’s why it’s uncomfortable. Ah, kid. Look at you talk.”
As Do Jun was about to say something, Jun Oh quickly closed the door.
Whoosh.
Between the opening and closing of the door, the sound of the heavier rain came into Do Jun’s house.
“So what were you talking about?”
However, his head was filled with curiosity, enough not to hear that heavy rain sound.
((()))
“I want to go home….”
Of course, she had just started work.
Monday morning.
Shin Yeon came to work with her usual morning coffee.
Having had a hectic weekend, she didn’t feel rested.
There was a weary look on her face.
“Crazy Shin Yeon.”
As soon as she sat down, a refreshing voice rang out.
It was Kim Jae Hee with an unusually flushed face.
“Yeah. So, good morning to you too, Manager Kim.”
Shin Yeon was just envious of Kim Jae Hee’s enthusiasm at this early hour.
You’re really young, young.
She didn’t even have the energy to answer and just slumped on the desk.
Ah, why am I so tired even though I didn’t drink yesterday.
“You said you have a boyfriend.”
Why does it feel like I’m hungover even though I didn’t drink?
“We’re in a meeting here. Can’t you be quiet for once, for your friend?”
“No? Being quiet isn’t an option.”
She had overlooked that Kim Jae Hee could have heard about the afterparty.
Ah, having a classmate at work is so tiring.
“Yes. That could happen.”
“Tell me straight. Where did you catch such a big fish?”
Kim Jae Hee’s expression was close to being serious.
What the heck, what is this?
“What’s the big deal.”
“Hanshin Electronics. He’s even a heartthrob, you say?”
“Heartthrob… what?”
“Oh, just answer the question! Where did you meet such a person!”
Shin Yeon’s ears were about to go deaf from the loud exclamation.
As Kim Jae Hee’s voice raised, Min Daeri who was in the pantry hurriedly approached.
“Good heavens. Is Manager Shin dating?”
As wideeyed Min Daeri joined, Shin Yeon felt another wave of fatigue.
“And apparently, he’s rich. He cleared out a lounge bar that costs over 200!”
Kim Jae Hee’s voice was still loud.
“Oh my, oh my, what in the world.”
Truly, what in the world.
As if she didn’t work in an advertising company, she was advertising throughout the office.
As her booming voice gathered more sneaky ears, Shin Yeon furrowed her brows.
“Hey, Kim Jae Hee. Be quiet.”
“Do I look quiet? Is this a time to be quiet?”
Kim Jae Hee was not the only employee of the advertising company.
Min Daeri, who was beside her, began to summarize the situation softly, but clearly.
“So our Manager Shin! Is dating! A handsome! Rich guy from! Hanshin Electronics?”
Sigh…
Instead of answering, Shin Yeon let out a deep sigh.
Yes, everyone.
Handsome and rich.
If there’s any misunderstanding, he’s not exactly an employee of Hanshin Electronics, he’s the son of the owner…
Can’t correct it and it’s so difficult.
Shin Yeon had a throbbing headache.
“Manager Shin, you got a boyfriend.”
At that moment, someone approached with a fresh smile.
“Oh, Hyun Woo, good morning.”
“Hello, Manager Kim.”
It was Do Jun who appeared, holding a bicycle helmet, with the look of a fresh recruit.
“No, Manager, please say something. Just how handsome is he? Is he more handsome than our Hyun Woo?”
Well, he was as handsome as your Hyun Woo.
“That’s…”
For a moment, Shin Yeon felt it.
Everyone was pretending to mind their own business, but all eyes were on her.
‘Oh… what should I say, really.’
Think, think.
While Shin Yeon was searching for words of excuse and rolling her eyes, then.
“I’m a little upset to hear you got a boyfriend.”
A languid voice settled over the heavy atmosphere.
Another professional advertiser, it was Do Jun.
With a refreshing smile, he continued.
“I thought the Manager was interested in me.”
Surely, I should’ve just had a drink and went to bed last night.
Hearing these dizzying words while sober…

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
