Don’t smile so sweetly. It makes me want to roll over to you.

Huff. Jae Heon took a deep breath.

It was a simple desire that arose when lying next to someone, a desire that had nothing to do with his will.

“Am I smiling weirdly?”
Unaware of his inner thoughts, Ra Jin covered her cheeks with the back of her hand, making an embarrassed expression.

Perhaps my smile is very strange.

Looking at Jae Heon’s face stiffening every time I laugh.

“Did you think you’d look pretty?”
At his blunt words, Ra Jin’s cheeks flushed red.

It felt like he had discovered my desire to look pretty to him.

Fortunately, the dim light from the stand lamp was too dim to highlight the embarrassment coloring her left cheek and the shyness coloring her right.

“I can’t change how I smile.”
“Try not to smile outside. It’s really strange.”
Ra Jin glanced at him sweetly.

Even if it was a temporary contract, wasn’t today their first day of dating?

It would be nice if he could be affectionate for at least today.

‘I should hope for it.’
Feeling hurt, she turned her back and closed her eyes.

“Sa……Ra Jin.”
Jae Heon, who was about to call her Secretary Sa, barely changed his words.

“Yes?”
“Don’t you dare start laughing at me again.”
“Are you angry?”
“No.”
“Then are you upset?”
“No.”
Ra Jin pulled up the blanket to cover her ears.

Looking at the turned back of her,

Jae Heon laughed without realizing it.

I must be really crazy.

“Haha.”
“Don’t laugh. Your laughter is also strange……”
Ah, damn it. Ra Jin bit her lips.

“You got a penalty.”
The teasing voice from behind her back made her even more furious.

“Penalty, can I use it now? We agreed to do what the other person wants.”
Sigh. Ra Jin, who let out a soft sigh, opened her mouth listlessly.

“Speak.”
“Look at me.”
“Pardon?”
“Sleep while looking at me. If you turn your back and sleep like that, I feel insomnia.”
I couldn’t resist him using insomnia as an excuse.

‘Taking care of the boss’s condition is part of a secretary’s job. If the boss’s condition is not good, other employees will be affected……’
Ra Jin had no choice but to reluctantly turn her body.

Seeing her, Jae Heon had to suppress another laugh that was about to slip out.

He too couldn’t understand himself.

Why on earth did that buglike figure seem so adorable?

‘I can’t understand why that puffy face looks cute.’
“Now it’s done. It was your penalty.”
“Yeah. It’s much better this way.”
Ra Jin gnawed gently on the inside of her lips. If she said such things, she couldn’t turn her back and sleep, could she?

“Don’t chew on your lips like that. What are you going to do if you bleed?”
“It’s better than smiling, isn’t it?”
“So you’re sulking.”
“……I want to sleep.”
She closed her eyes. Over her closed eyelids, a strong will not to continue the conversation with him was vividly drawn.

Watching Ra Jin quietly, Jae Heon’s lips parted.

“Ra Jin.”
His voice calling her name was so affectionate and sweet that Ra Jin pulled her blanket up to her cheeks.

Even in the darkness, she felt her cheeks blushing hotly enough to be seen by him.

“Good night.”
“……”
“Thank you.”
Saying that, Jae Heon too closed his eyes.

Not long after, Ra Jin spoke softly.

“……You’ll have a good dream.”
At her words, his lips drew a pleasant curve.

The comfortable night flowed like water.

((()))((()))((()))

Sure enough, the Wednesday night sleeping with Ra Jin was able to get a good sleep, and on Thursday night without her, he suffered from insomnia.

Having tasted sweetness once, he couldn’t go back to not knowing it.

On Friday morning, Jae Heon’s mood, which had hit rock bottom, rose to its peak again.

Today was the day Ra Jin was coming home.

Thinking he could get a good sleep, he was invigorated.

Seeing her face at work, he felt as if his dying vitality was being recharged.

Ra Jin and Yun Hee, who got up from their seats as soon as they saw Jae Heon, bowed their heads.

“Good morning, Director.”
He looked at Ra Jin, who bowed her head, then soon took his eyes off her.

“Good morning.”
After the office door was closed.

A moment of silence passed.

Then Yun Hee, who slowly got up, turned her head towards Ra Jin like a broken robot and opened her mouth with a shocked expression.

“Just now…… Did the director just respond to your morning greeting? My ears didn’t fail me, right, Chief?”
“Yeah, seems so.”
“My goodness, it’s unbelievable! To hear the beautiful and peaceful word ‘Good Morning’ from the Director.”
It’s strange. The sun rose well from the east. There was no breaking news about the end of the world approaching.

Then Yun Hee suddenly grabbed Ra Jin’s arm and shook it.

“Chief, isn’t the Director sick by any chance? Why, when people suddenly turn kind, they have incurable diseases…….”

“Enough. What will you do if such words take root?”
At the stern expression of Ra Jin, Yun Hee tucked her lips in once.

“I was just too surprised. He has never responded to a greeting before, right? There was no reaction except for occasionally faintly nodding.”
Then the intercom rang. It was from Jae Heon’s office.

“Sa, secretary.”
“Yes, Director.”
“Come to the office now.”
