If things continued like this, a desk in the marketing team would soon be vacant.
Ha Joon promptly got up from his seat and left the office.
Seeing Ha Joon rushing out as if something had happened, Secretary Park stood up from her seat,
“It’s personal. Please take care of your work, Secretary Park.”
Before Secretary Park could even respond, Ha Joon had already disappeared from her sight.
Arriving at the document storage room in a rush,
Ha Joon stood in front of the door, caught his breath, and carefully opened the door.
Creak. The loud noise broke the silence in the warehouse, and Ha Joon slowly stepped in.
‘Has she not arrived yet?’
Ha Joon looked around the warehouse shrouded in darkness.
“Su Ah, are you here? If you haven’t come yet…!”
While calling Su Ah and moving forward, Ha Joon’s body was forcefully pulled by someone.
In an instant, Ha Joon’s back hit the wall, and a shadow loomed in front of him.
“Su Ah?”
Leaning against the wall, Ha Joon bent his head towards Su Ah who was underneath his gaze.
“Yes, I’m here.”
Su Ah answered affectionately, raising her heels to close the distance between her and Ha Joon.
Su Ah, who had come close to his face without him realizing, whispered,
“Did you miss me?”
“I did. I wanted to see you so much that I was about to visit your office, but I couldn’t muster the courage.”
“Why? Why couldn’t you?”
“Scared of getting scolded?”
Pfft. Su Ah burst into laughter at Ha Joon’s unexpected words.
“Did you know there was a place like this, Ha Joon?”
She had been ordered to fetch documents, but she had never actually been to this space.
“I knew it existed, but it’s my first time coming in, and it’s quite a nice atmosphere.”
“What do you mean, nice atmosphere…”
What kind of atmosphere in a place where the only light was seeping in from the windows?
Su Ah, who had been wearing a puzzled expression for a moment, trailed off as if she understood what he meant.
A moment of silence passed, and Ha Joon’s arm entered Su Ah’s field of vision, who was awkwardly shifting her eyes.
The arm that had been around an unfamiliar woman.
Su Ah clenched her lips and folded her arms over Ha Joon’s arm.
“……?”
Caught off guard by the sudden warmth digging into his side, Ha Joon’s eyes widened.
“I’m sanitizing. Sanitizing.”
“Sanitizing……you say?”
Not understanding what she was talking about, Ha Joon blinked his eyes, then raised his eyebrows as if he understood.
“By any chance, in front of the conference room earlier……”
“I saw it. You were affectionately arm in arm with some woman.”
Su Ah cut Ha Joon off midsentence.
“No, that can’t be? It wasn’t affectionate. Please think about it. That couldn’t have been it.”
Startled, Ha Joon stammered.
“I recognized it when you said you were studying hard.”
Less than an hour had passed since she had resolved to give him her full love, but upon seeing Ha Joon’s arm, the suppressed anger surged back.
“I recognized it when you said that you would understand ten things if you learned one. I did.”
“No, that was……”
“I clearly warned you to stop immediately if you were thinking of using it on other women, didn’t I? You remember, right?”
“Yes, I do. Whether I remember or not.”
With a quick response, he took a surreptitious glance at her, but Su Ah’s eyes were blazing fiercely.
“Why do you think you’re using what you learned on other women, but not on your girlfriend?”
She dragged out her words and rolled her eyes,
“No. That arm in arm wasn’t my doing……”
Ha Joon raised his voice in protest, but his voice couldn’t possibly reach Su Ah’s ears.
“Brother? Brother? What are you talking about in a sacred company?”
Ha! Ha! She let out a hollow laugh and narrowed her brows.
“……Are you perhaps jealous right now, Su Ah?”
“Are you jealous?” Ha Joon asked, mirroring Su Ah’s tone.
“Why would I be jealous? Do you want jealousy to turn into a wrestling match? Should I have a proper wrestling match with that woman?”
Su Ah rolled up her sleeves and glared.
“There wouldn’t be a need for that, would there?”
Only then did Ha Joon reveal a relaxed smile.
“I only have eyes for Su Ah, who exactly do you want to wrestle with?”
“……”
At Ha Joon’s smile, Su Ah was at a loss for words.
Damn it. Don’t say things like that with a smile. It prevents me from getting properly angry.
Su Ah’s pouting lips parted.
“I know that woman. She came for the project collaboration.”
Su Ah calmed her anger and continued her words composedly.
“But there should be a clear line between business and personal matters. Here, it’s not brother, but vice president.”
“I’ve already said so.”
“No sitting close, no smiling affectionately while looking at each other!”
After raising her index and middle fingers, she pointed to her own eyes and then pointed at Ha Joon’s face.
“I’ll be watching.”
Oh no. Scary. Scary but cute. Cute but lovely.
Just do one thing. Just one.
“Yes, I’ll be especially careful.”
Even though he had a lot of questions about Min Jun, Ha Joon swallowed his words.
He didn’t want to ask someone who was so excited and angry just because of arm in arm with someone else, why she had grabbed Min Jun’s arm.
Because he was happy enough to go crazy with just Su Ah’s jealousy.
“Oh? It’s already this late. I should get going now.”
As she shifted her gaze and discovered that it was past 1:45, Su Ah began to walk towards the door.
Then.
Gasp. Ha Joon grabbed Su Ah’s wrist and pulled her towards him.
“Oh. You surprised me. I was shocked.”
With eyes wide like a startled rabbit, she looked up at Ha Joon,
Who, leaning forward, had quietly approached her and whispered in a low voice.
“Su Ah. It’s just us here right now.”
“Huh? Yes. That, that’s right. It’s just us……”
As she was about to reply, Ha Joon’s lips touched her forehead.
Ha Joon whispered again.
“It’s nice that it’s just us.”
“Yes, it’s nice……”
Before her answer was even finished, Ha Joon’s lips touched Su Ah’s nose.
“What are you trying to say?”
She asked with a frustrated expression at Ha Joon’s constant interruption.
“I’ve been saying it all along. It’s just us.”
In the empty space, Ha Joon’s voice sounded as if it was soaked in tenderness.
“But, what does it mean that it’s just……”
With a soft sound, Ha Joon’s and Su Ah’s lips met, and quickly parted.
“I have to put what I’ve learned to good use with my lover.”
Ha Joon gently sucked her lips as he pulled her waist towards him.
The deep, intense kiss began in a place where only two people existed, a place where darkness had fallen.

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.”
