It wasn’t a triple serving of Korean beef. It was a soup made from spotted gizzard shad and seaweed, something he used to love.
But now, you’re sitting in front of a pile of red spicy chicken feet?
As Ha Joon started gulping down the soju again, Ji An’s voice became firm.
“Are you not going to stop?”
Ha Joon, who had been looking at Ji An for nearly an hour, could tell that something was different.
Twentyseven years had given them that kind of insight into each other, to see clearly even when they didn’t speak.
Kim Ji An was poor at lying, while he was a skilled lawyer who could see through people. Moreover, he was quite good at lying.
Ha Joon curled his lips slightly, ordered another bottle of soju in defiance, and took Ji An in his gaze.
The more Ji An raised her eyebrows fiercely and smacked her lips, about to get angry, the more he felt a ticklish sensation.
How could he resist that face?
Let alone her desperate voice that made him listen to her words.
If she knew he had started smoking again, it would be a disaster. That definitely had to remain a secret.
‘If you weren’t in his sights, he wouldn’t have threatened or asked for anything.’ Ha Joon thought he should listen to Ji An’s words at this point.
He lightly lifted his lips and, pointing to the dish in front of Ji An, he spoke.
“First, I’ll do as you say. …Hurry up and eat. You drink when you’re struggling.”
“Why? What’s so hard again?”
“I hate working because of those bad guys.”
“Eh? The great Yoon Ha Joon hates working?”
“I hate it. I’m going crazy because I don’t want to do it.”
Ji An sighed as she looked at the chicken feet and sauce, stained red on the vinyl gloves.
I’m the one going insane.
Eating this in this state at this hour.
I’m not sure if my stomach will be okay in the morning, and it will be even harder to stop Ha Joon from pouring soju.
Ha Joon was not someone she could get drunk with if necessary, and leave if not. She wanted his support more than anyone else’s, and it felt like she had finished a difficult task.
Right. He’s like that, but I can’t let him drink without side dishes.
Ji An picked up a side dish with tongs and held it out in front of Ha Joon’s mouth.
“No matter how hard it is, don’t drink on an empty stomach. You’ll ruin your stomach. Open your mouth. I’ll put it in.”
“Are you feeding me?”
“Yes. It’s a mother bird’s heart. Baby bird, chew well. Okay?”
Ha Joon slowly nodded and opened his mouth.
Ji An burst into laughter.
It was funny that the great Yoon Ha Joon could sometimes look like a child in front of her, even though he only did this in her presence.
If she didn’t do this, it was clear he’d just keep drinking soju, so Ji An hurriedly put food in front of his mouth.
When she stood up after emptying the plate, it was late.
Ha Joon, who had been loudly proclaiming he was fine, stopped and sighed heavily, causing Ji An’s voice to rise.
“Walk straight. You should have drunk moderately. Why did you drink so much?”
“Right. I drank a bit. Who would get upset over this? Can’t you do even this much? I mean, just carrying you is no small feat.”
“Ah, damn. I get it. I got it. Stop it already.”
Standing in front of a large sedan, Ji An looked around as she waited for a substitute driver.
She opened the backseat door of the car and called Ha Joon.
“Get in first. You’re quite drunk.”
“Kim Ji An. Do I look drunk to you?”

He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.

She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
