“Don’t get close to Team Leader Min Ji Hoon.”
Her tone was sharp.

Before she could even utter a word, Yuna continued.

“I’d appreciate it if you behaved like a team member.”
A line?

Did I ever cross a line with the team leader?

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you saying I crossed a line?”
“Of course. Just this morning alone…”
Just as Yuna was about to answer.

“Team Leader Kim Yuna.”
Ji Hoon, who had discovered Yuna and Su Ah standing face to face, approached with an urgent pace.

“What are you doing now?”
“I was just having a little chat with Employee Su Ah because I had a question. Why? Is that not allowed?”
“Please refrain from questioning a new employee who is not yet familiar with the work.”
“It wasn’t about work, it was a personal question.”
“In that case, you should refrain even more. How uncomfortable would it be to be questioned by someone with whom you have no personal acquaintance?”
Yuna sharply turned her head towards Su Ah.

“Did Ms. Su Ah feel uncomfortable?”
“No, I…”
Is that what she calls a question?

It’s not the question that’s uncomfortable, it’s this situation that’s uncomfortable.

Why are these two making people uncomfortable since morning?

Ji Hoon stole a glance at Su Ah, who was making a troubled expression.

“Ms. Su Ah, you can go back to the office now.”
Ji Hoon sent a glance towards the office.

Right. The best strategy in this situation is to avoid it.

Thinking this was her chance, Su Ah quickly turned around.

“Ms. Su Ah. I’m not done talking yet?”

As Yuna raised her voice with narrowed eyes, Ji Hoon blocked her.

“Don’t hold up a busy person, if you have something to say, say it to me.”
“……”
Halfturned, Su Ah, who was cautiously watching, finally managed to step away and head for the office.

As soon as Su Ah disappeared from view, Ji Hoon gave Yuna a sharp look.

“Kim Yuna, what are you doing now?”
“What are you doing, brother? I have a question for her.”
“Her? Watch your words.”
“What? Are you taking her side in front of me?”
Yuna furrowed her brows deeply.

“I’m not taking sides, I’m telling you to watch your words in the office.”
“Why do you two have to be so close from the morning, turning people’s stomachs?”
As she thought about it, she seemed to get angrier and a rough breath could be heard.

“We’re not what you think we are.”
“We?”
Yuna’s eyebrows twitched.

No, why is the focus on us? The important thing is what comes next.

Ji Hoon took a deep breath and continued.

“Don’t interrupt and listen carefully. Su Ah is just a team member. She already has a boyfriend.”
“She has a boyfriend?”
Yuna’s furrowed brows smoothed out in an instant.

“You should have told me earlier. I got unnecessarily upset.”
It seemed that Yuna quickly felt better and she walked into the PR team’s office, her dress flapping.

How could she change her attitude so quickly, like flipping a pancake?

Ji Hoon shook his head as if giving up and soon moved on.

Su Ah felt uncomfortable all the way back to the office.

“Don’t get close to Team Leader Min Ji Hoon.”
She was bothered by those words, for which she never heard the reason.

Why did she tell me to keep my distance?

What does it mean to keep the line?

Did I unconsciously treat him too friendly?

While she was pondering over these questions,

“What are you thinking about so seriously?”
At the sound of the voice, Su Ah raised her head.

Without realizing it, Ha Joon had approached and was looking down at her.

“Oh? Vice President.”
“Do you have any worries?”
“No, no. I just have something to think about for a moment. Thank you for your concern.”
Worried someone might see, Su Ah quickly bowed in greeting.

“Then, I’ll be on my way.”
Just as she was about to take a step.

“I would like to get my belongings back.”
Ha Joon, who had just taken a halfstep, blocked Su Ah’s path.

“Vice President’s belongings…?”
“I lent my belongings to Team Leader Min yesterday, but I haven’t received them yet.”
“Oh, then should I tell the team leader to return them quickly?”
“No, I’d like Ms. Su Ah to return them, not Team Leader Min Ji Hoon.”
“Excuse me?”
Su Ah blinked her eyes in surprise.

“Team Leader Min Ji Hoon is going to be very busy today, so he probably won’t have time to return it. How about helping the busy team leader?”
…Huh?

…Ah!

Blinking her eyes and watching Ha Joon’s reaction, Su Ah’s eyebrows shot up as she belatedly realized.

Oh, using the return as an excuse to make her come to the office?

Where did he learn this, if he’s new to dating?

Su Ah’s lips curved into a long line.

“Yes, then I’ll talk to the team leader and come to you.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
Whether others noticed or not, Ha Joon and Su Ah passed each other, each with a full smile on their lips.

Upon hastily arriving at the office, Su Ah looked around for Ji Hoon’s seat.

The conversation seemed to have ended quickly, and he was already sitting in his seat.

Su Ah sent a message to Ji Hoon.

[Team Leader, the thing you borrowed from Ha Joon yesterday. He said he’d like me to bring it.] [You? Why?] [He said he’d like me to bring it with the intention of helping you, as you’re going to be very busy today.] Ha! Ha Joon Min. When did you start caring about my busy schedule?

And it’s not just one card, what’s so urgent?

As the saying goes, a thief who learns late doesn’t know when to stop.

Who would have thought that Ha Joon Min of all people would turn out like this.

[So you’re going to go yourself? You told me not to show any interest in Ha Joon, but I guess there’s nothing special about Su Ah either?] It was as if she could hear Ji Hoon’s chuckling.

[What can I do? If he’s going to all that trouble to see me, even for a little while, I should let it slide just this once.] [Once becomes twice, twice becomes thrice.] [That’s not the case. I have to show my best side to Ha Joon today, so I’m just letting it slide this one time.] [Why do you have to show your best side?] It’s for silencing the drunken antics of yesterday.

Muttering the reason she couldn’t dare to say, Su Ah began to type another message.

[It’s just something. Anyway, is it okay if I bring it myself?] Instead of replying to the message, Ji Hoon stood up from his seat and walked towards the door, only to turn around.

“Ms. Su Ah.”
It was loud enough for everyone in the office to hear.

“Yes, Team Leader.”
“Let’s go to the PR team together for a moment.”
“Yes.”
As if she had been waiting, Su Ah stood up from her seat abruptly.

In front of the elevator.

“This is the card you borrowed from Ha Joon yesterday.”
Ji Hoon looked around and then handed the card to Su Ah.

“He gave me the card saying if you wanted to treat everyone to something delicious at the team dinner. He specifically said to get beef.”
“…….”

“Thanks to you, our whole team got to enjoy a proper feast.”
At Ji Hoon’s words, a sudden fluttering started inside her heart.

Ah. You, of all people.

Why are you so cool? Why are you so lovable?

Holding Ha Joon’s card tightly in both hands, Su Ah quickened her pace.

Male lead is a Divorced Husband

She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”

Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.

After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.

She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.

But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…

Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

――

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!

The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.

That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”

Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”

The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”

That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”

Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”

The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.

Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.

“She was originally a ‘she’!”

At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.

The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
