“Oh, no, why the shirt…”

Why is he taking off his clothes…

The words she was about to say abruptly stopped as she looked at the sweat droplets streaming down his firm and supple frame. Her mind became a jumble, gazing at the scenes from the night she spent with Won-hu, as if a herd of horses came rushing, trampling and passing by all at once.

With a perfectly polished backside, he turned confidently and, about to enter the bathroom, paused and looked at Do-soon, saying, “After I finish cleaning the bathroom, I’ll call you in. Do-soon is still not feeling well, so I’ll help her bathe.”

“B-bathe… you?”

Do-soon couldn’t say anything more. The provocative eyes and seductive words he nonchalantly threw at her made her stand there blankly, all because he disappeared into the bathroom.

“Huh…”

Who is this gentleman? Did he have ulterior motives for cleaning my house so thoroughly? Haha, why is he doing this? We’re not like that, are we? Wow, this is really amusing! Wow, wow, wow…!

Do-soon’s thought that she wouldn’t go into the bathroom even if he called was firm. However, she couldn’t help her heart pounding. While engrossed in her patient cosplay, she suddenly got up from the sofa, circled the living room, and kept pacing in front of the bathroom door.

At that moment, Won-hu’s voice rang out.

“Ms. Yeo Do-soon, I’ve finished cleaning!”

!

Is this a conditioned reflex?

Thump, thump, thump, thump…

Suddenly, her heart raced madly.

Do-soon’s legs momentarily wavered, and she quickly distanced herself from the bathroom.

It was a moment later.

Won-hu, who emerged from the bathroom, his hair moist with droplets, approached Do-soon, who was standing in front of the sofa, and said, “Since I said I’ll help you bathe, why aren’t you coming in? Ms. Yeo Do-soon, I’ll wash you since you’re still unwell.”

“W-wash…!”

Wash me?

Do-soon couldn’t say anything more. Seeing her wet hair and the shameless state she was in, she had entered the bathroom and came out the same way, only wearing pants on her lower body. In an instant, what filled Do-soon’s sight was the sturdy chest of a man.

“I-it’s unpleasant. Don’t come near!”

“What don’t you like?”

“Washing…!”

…!

Between the edges of the rug hanging from the sofa, Won-hu, who was unintentionally entangled, fell over towards Do-soon.

Whether by chance or not, Do-soon and Won-hu found themselves lying on top of each other, facing each other. He was on top, and she was below. Thanks to Won-hu firmly placing his hands on both sides of Do-soon’s head, they maintained a proper distance, so their upper bodies didn’t touch.

However, the long legs of the two people lying stretched out on the sofa unavoidably intertwined.

“Aren’t you going to wash up?”

Whether he had no intention of embarrassing her or if he just forgot, Won-hu asked in that state. Do-soon, unable to push him away in case she touched his bare skin, looked up at him blankly, confronting him with a questioning tone.

“No, what does it matter to the Representative whether I bathe or not?”

“You haven’t washed for two days.”

A water droplet at the end of his wet hair fell with a thud onto Do-soon’s forehead. However, due to the position of Won-hu’s two arms, her face was trapped, so she replied helplessly, getting hit by every water droplet without moving an inch.
“I don’t want to. I won’t bathe! You called me a pig earlier. I’ll do that.”

“Because I said I’d even cut your hair?”

“Why would you cut my hair, Representative…”

“…”

Yeah, why did I say I’d bathe him? It was my own words, but even I found it puzzling. Nevertheless, Won-hu, who couldn’t take back what he had said, closed his lips for a moment and stared at Do-soon.

His gaze seemed to burn her skin. In addition, Do-soon, whose heart was pounding as if it would explode, was in a complete daze. The words that came out in that situation were not nonsense but rather the sound from her heart.

“Fine. I’ll bathe if you grant my wish.”

“Wish? What’s that?”

“With me…”

“With Do-soon, what…?”

It seemed like it shouldn’t be heard anymore, but what kind of harmony did she want to hear? Something very intense. Won-hu touched Do-soon because of that.

“Meet me ten times.”

“Ten times?”

The moment Do-soon finished speaking, Won-hu’s pupils vibrated significantly. Feeling like it was definitely a refusal, she reduced the number and said again.

“No, six times. It seems like I like Representative-nim. Anyway, it’s your responsibility for making me like this. Please give me time to sort out my feelings. From what I hear, men are all the same after a few meetings. If we meet a few times, Representative-nim won’t get tired of me either, right?”

Although it seemed like a crazy thing to say, it felt refreshing to say everything that was on her mind. Using a single finger, Do-soon poked his chest.

It’s not like I’m poking a rotten persimmon. Anyway, with that weak force, Won-hu realized that he was somewhat numb and sat up on the sofa.

When he moved away from the top, Do-soon quickly got up and took a sitting position.

That’s when it happened.
