As she looked up at him in puzzlement, Jae Heon narrowed his eyes and murmured again.

‘Don’t open your eyes like that.’
He said it made him feel weird. His heart rate also subtly increased.

Whether it was work or emotions, Jae Heon hated things that went beyond his control.

Everything had to stay within the standards he set.

Even the location where Ra Jin placed his tea on his table in the morning was set to be about 30cm diagonally above his right hand.

But after spending the night with Ra Jin.

Each time he was with her, his body and mind kept escaping his control.

Jae Heon was more than confused, he was bewildered.

This was a first. He was someone who always found clear answers in any relationship.

A large alarm bell rang in his head.

It’s dangerous, it’s a big deal.

If it continued like this, the order he had kept so far might become a mess.

Since he was aware of the problem, he just had to solve it. That’s how he had eliminated risk factors until now.

But why… why was he still… unable to move, his gaze fixed on Ra Jin?

“Director?”
At the sound of Ra Jin calling him, Jae Heon, coming to his senses, turned his head and pushed his clothes into her arms.

“Change.”
“Why should I wear your clothes…”
“Make yourself comfortable. You’d be uncomfortable in that outfit.”
Ra Jin, who had been hesitating, asked him cautiously.

“Director, there’s something I’d like to ask.”
“…What is it.”
“Do you have any diseases other than insomnia that you haven’t told me about?”
Otherwise, there was no way Jae Heon would have acted like this.

Seo Jae Heon, who cared for her wellbeing. And on top of that, he even cooked for her.

Ra Jin was more worried than happy.

Usually, when people act out of character, it’s for a notsogood reason.

‘Could it be that he’s not just suffering from insomnia, but a more serious illness? Is that why he agreed to my absurd condition? Is that why… he offered me that contract?’
As her expression darkened, Jae Heon was taken aback.

“Secretary.”
“Yes, Director. I’m ready to listen.”
“Why. Do you think I’m going to die or something?”
At his words, spoken with an incredulous expression, Ra Jin’s heart dropped.

Just the assumption of Jae Heon dying made her feel like her breath was cut off.

“I don’t know what the secretary is thinking, but I’m not dying, and I don’t have a disease. Didn’t you see my last health checkup results? All clean.”
“Yes… indeed.”
“My doctor told me. He said I’m the king of selfmanagement.”

Only then did Ra Jin breathe a sigh of relief inside. That’s fortunate, then. Jae Heon’s behavior was nothing short of astonishing.

“Then that’s fortunate.”
“Just because my secretary reacts like this, I seem to be a person who is incredibly indifferent and cruel towards my subordinates.”
Wow. If Yoon Hee heard that, she would have been delighted. It seemed like the director had finally become selfaware, she would say.

However, as someone who was on a payroll, Ra Jin could not say such things, so she just tightened her lips.

“What’s that? It’s a strange expression, neither laughing nor not laughing.”
“Is there anything I can help with when you prepare the meal?”
“……Isn’t that changing the topic too blatantly?”
“I thought the director might be hungry.”
Upon hearing that, Jae Heon felt taken aback. It sounded like Ra Jin was hungry.

“Just relax, secretary. First, change your clothes and come out.”
“I’m fine as I am.”
“You have to change anyway, you’re going to sleep and go.”
Upon hearing that, the atmosphere suddenly became delicate.

Ra Jin instinctively cleared her throat due to the burning sensation in her chest.

“Change in the dressing room and come out. If you want to wear other clothes, just take out anything and wear it.”
“Yes, thank you.”
With awkward expressions, Jae Heon and Ra Jin each headed to the dining room and the master room.

Closing the door and entering, Ra Jin’s face flushed as soon as she saw the bed she had woken up in this morning.

The phantom images of the two, who had passionately embraced each other the night before, appeared over the empty bed.

‘What am I thinking coming in here to change clothes.’
Taking her gaze off the bed, Ra Jin hurriedly entered the dressing room.

Looking at the clothes handed over by Jae Heon, it was a knit and sweatpants that she could wear comfortably.

‘Is it really okay to wear this?’
Ra Jin was in a dilemma.

She had to sleep here today and had to change her clothes, but it was embarrassing and uncomfortable to wear Jae Heon’s clothes.

Moreover….

She inadvertently saw the label of the clothes. Although the sweatpants were from a popular brand, the knit was a product of France’s topend highend brand.

‘How am I supposed to be comfortable in these, Director?’
If food splashed while eating, or if she made a mistake and the neck or sleeves stretched, it would be a big problem.

‘He said it’s okay to wear other clothes.’
Ra Jin looked at his other clothes hanging in the dressing room.
