Even though she’s a woman, she doesn’t wear common lipstick, and she’s not sticky.

Yet, when he kisses her lips, there’s a warm and sweet taste. When he tried to feel that taste again, Sooyoung made a sound of pain as he touched her face.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

“Why, why?”

Surprised, he quickly pulled back, and Sooyoung, lifting her casted leg onto his thigh, said, “Feels like cramps in my toes.”

“Just a moment.”

Woojin quickly massaged her toes that came out of the cast with his warm hands.

At first, he used the excuse of foot odor and germs to stop him from massaging her toes, but now she enjoyed his massage.

His hands were warm and tender enough that she felt like making a hot pack with them.

“Seol Woojin.”

“Yeah?”

“Can two things be done at the same time?”

“Like what and what?”

“Massage and…”

She reached out her hand and caressed the hand massaging her toes.

“This… ”

As the soft and tender jelly touched his lips, Woojin began to taste the jelly as if he had been waiting for it.

His hands still firmly pressed and massaged her toes.

Excited and full of excitement for doing more work as a girlfriend than as a housekeeper or manager, Sooyoung, who came home early, was surprised to see her mother, who had also returned earlier than expected.

“You should rest that leg, do you really have to go to that job?”

Yeongsun said with a pitiful expression while looking at her daughter’s leg.

“The car is coming to pick me up, so.”

“Those people are really sincere. They can’t do without you?”

“Ah… I have some things to take care of.”

She omitted the part that the work was dating a writer.

She confidently told her mother that she believed she would allow it if she saw Woojin’s appearance, but strangely, she was reluctant to be honest with Yeongsun.

What could be the reason?

Whether it was because he was visually impaired, as he said, or because there was still no certainty between them…

“Oh right, did you meet him?”

As Yeongsun headed to the kitchen, she suddenly turned around and asked, “Who?”

“No, that teacher senior from a while ago. Didn’t you see him? Did he leave?”

“Really?”

“Call him. He hasn’t called either. Why is he waiting in front of the house? When do you know you’ll be back?”

“Huh? Okay.”

Even a few days ago, he called.

But for some reason, it felt awkward, so she ended up avoiding the call. If it were urgent, he would send a text, but there was no text.

Well, what urgent matter could So Senior have with her?

Just then, as Yeongsun came out of the kitchen holding a plastic bag, she said, “Mom, I’ll throw away the food waste. Did you eat dinner?”

“Yeah, I ate.”
“Exactly. You can’t raise someone else’s precious daughter like that and not even feed her.”

Since her daughter got hurt, the mother seemed to think that she should enjoy some appropriate benefits from him.

She hopped on one foot to the bathroom, quickly washed up, and came out, but Yeongsun looked embarrassed as she entered.

“Is that senior still here? Do you want me to check? Or should I call him since your leg hurts?”

“Oh, since when has he been here? It bothers me.”

Yeongsun looked at her daughter with a puzzled expression, wondering if the person she was talking about might not be him.

He seemed like a decent person. If he’s a teacher, it’s okay. What about his parents…

“Mom, I’ll be right back.”

“Sure, be careful.”

She thought her mother would tell her not to go, but Yeongsun surprisingly allowed it, which surprised her.

Her mother, who didn’t like her going to work even when So Senior asked her to meet, didn’t understand.

Or maybe it’s because it’s just in front of the house?

When she went to the apartment entrance, she saw a familiar back. He probably waited and gave up.

“So Senior!”

When Sooyoung called him, Yeonho looked back and hurriedly ran to her side.

“Hey, why did you come out after getting your leg treated?”

It didn’t seem like the right time for him to speak after waiting so long, so Sooyoung chuckled.

“Why aren’t you calling me? Why are you talking here?”

“…You don’t answer my calls. How did you come out? Did your mother tell you?”

“Yeah. But didn’t you see me leaving work earlier? I called you then.”

“At that time, I happened to be at the convenience store. I went to grab something to eat. It seems like you came while I was gone.”

“You waited without having dinner? Why? Looking at your outfit, it seems like you came right after work.”

After she decorated herself, he seemed to know that she came right after work.

Yeonho didn’t answer, probably hurt in his pride because she said she had been waiting since she came to work.

“Want to have a drink? At the coffee shop here in front of you, since your leg hurts. Why did your leg get hurt? Is it serious?”

“No, an electric kickboard came and hit me.”

“Oh, no!”

Having seen news about people dying from being hit by electric kickboards, Yeonho quickly pondered and looked down at Sooyoung’s leg.

“Is it broken?”

“No, just a little bruised. It’ll heal over time. I’m still young.”

“Anyway… be careful. It could have been a big problem.”
