“Ha. Full.”
Satisfied, Yeonju emerged from the restaurant. The signboard of the place she exited read ‘Yoon’s Chicken Kalguksu.’ Jinwook, who came out with her, raised an eyebrow, observing her expression.
“Was it that delicious?”
“Yes. It was so delicious that I felt like I ate without realizing.”
“Indeed. You did eat without a word.”
Yeonju narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jinwook.
“Eating without a word is natural when you have dinner at nine.”
Upon hearing that, Jinwook seemed to have nothing more to say, and he looked into the distance as if lost in thought.
Today, the two of them decided to dine out together in the evening, and Jinwook came home early as promised.
However, as they discussed necklaces in the dressing room, a moment came when Jinwook’s chest was set on fire.
“There’s something I want right now.”
Although it’s unclear what set his heart on fire, the bedroom where Jinwook and Yeonju headed was filled with heat for a long time.
Rustle.
If not for the rumbling sound echoing from Yeonju’s stomach in the middle of it, that heat might have continued all night long.
So, the two of them only came out for dinner after 8 o’clock, and fortunately, the restaurant Yeonju wanted to go to was still open until late.
For Yeonju, it was already late for dinner, and, exhausted from fiery love, she could eat any food absentmindedly.
Before, seeing Jinwook, who shared love tirelessly, made her think that the desire to have a child must be significant. But now, seeing him, Jinwook, who was inherently energetic without any relation to the child, she realized that she had misunderstood.
A person with such abundant energy held back for more than four months; it was understandable that it might become uncontrollable. However, if they continued to share love every day like this, her body would not last.
With a stern face, Yeonju said, “We agreed to take it easy.”
“That’s why I reduced the frequency.”
“Reducing the frequency alone won’t do! It’s taking too long!”
Suddenly, Yeonju realized that they were having this conversation in the middle of the street. Belated embarrassment washed over her as she blushed and said, “Let’s quickly go by car.”
Yeonju and Jinwook were heading home in their car.
Jinwook glanced briefly at Yeonju sitting next to him. Yeonju was playing with her necklace while looking at her reflection in the car window. It was the necklace Jinwook had given her as a gift.
“Do you like it?”
Smiling, Yeonju nodded. It seemed to be her first time expressing such satisfaction after receiving a gift. While driving, Jinwook said, “But haven’t I given you more expensive gifts before?”
“That was not you but the secretaries who chose the gifts.”
“Well, the secretaries know better what women like, so I just asked them for a favor.”
This man may not know much about women, but he certainly doesn’t know too much. Yeonju pondered where to start explaining and gave up.
As the conversation turned to secretaries, the face of a particular person suddenly came to mind. The person who briefly crossed Yeonju’s mind was Minhee.
“Ms. Juminhee, does Mr. Jinwook like you?”
“T-that’s not at all what Madam thinks, so please don’t misunderstand.”
Memories of the conversations she had exchanged with Minhee and her blushing face flashed through Yeonju’s mind.
Yeonju gazed at Jinwook, who was driving.
Jinwook and Minhee… what kind of relationship did they have?
During her previous marriage, Yeonju couldn’t ask Jinwook anything. It was a series of days when she doubted alone, was hurt alone, and bore the burden of her feelings alone.
Now, she didn’t need to live such a miserable life. Returning here was not to live such a pitiful life.
When the car approached the front of the house, Yeonju opened her mouth.
“I have one thing I’m curious about.”
Jinwook said as he parked the car in the garage, “What is it?”
“Since when… I’ve been wanting to ask…”
“?”
“With your secretary…”
“Who? Juminhee, my secretary.”
“What kind of relationship do you have?”
As if it was a completely unexpected question, Jinwook asked in disbelief, “…Who?”
“Your secretary, Juminhee.”
“What kind of relationship? She’s just my secretary, as the term implies.”
“…”
Looking at Yeonju’s thoughtful face, Jinwook, with a bewildered expression, said, “Are you seriously doubting the relationship between my secretary and me?”
“I’m just expres
As if understanding those words, Yeonju nodded her head slowly. Now, just when it seemed like the fiery conversation had come to an end, an even more fiery remark swiftly came.
“Well then… What’s this rumor about entering a hotel with some woman?”
It was like jumping from one mountain to another. More surprising than the secretary’s story, Jinwook burst into laughter at the even more unbelievable story.
“Where are you hearing such rumors?”
Genuinely curious about who spread such rumors, Jinwook stared intently at Yeonju.
After some hesitation, Yeonju honestly said, “Your brother… mentioned it.”
“Brother?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
