“Aren’t you having some?”
“I guess I ate too much for dinner, I’m full.”
The man, who had been watching Eun Jae with a suddenly sharpened gaze, picked up his mug and disappeared.
“Don’t eat it, I’m going to eat it all by myself.”
Eun Jae was grumbling when the cheesecake found its way into her mouth. The moist and soft piece melted gently in her mouth.
“Wow, this is really delicious.”
At the remark that came out without any consideration, Eun Jae scanned the surroundings, which were void of people. Eun Jae, who had been smiling mischievously, ate the remaining two slices of cheesecake right there.
After the plate was empty, Eun Jae, who was leaning on the sofa, gulped down the remaining herb tea and pondered. About the man’s suddenly changed attitude.
Was it because he had texted at this time, or because he was a man? Or because they were meeting tomorrow?
Jealousy, or what.
“Jealousy? Why that man.”
He must be doing that to prevent a scratch in the contract marriage.
Eun Jae, who came to the kitchen with an empty cup, a plate, and a fork, tilted her head. There was no portion for the man from the start. One plate and one fork. Had he not intended to eat from the beginning?
After doing the dishes, while pondering what side dish to serve for tomorrow’s breakfast, she found a large box of cheesecake inside the refrigerator.
He said one slice would do, but it seemed he had bought a whole cake.
Eun Jae, who was carefully examining the brand engraved on the cake box, chuckled as she closed the refrigerator door.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make such a situation.”
She thought it would be best not to meet Yoon Tae Gyu tomorrow, after all.
As soon as she woke up in the morning, Eun Jae, who came out of the shower without even drying her hair, first called Tae Gyu.
She didn’t hesitate.
After yesterday’s incident, she had decided that it would be better not to meet him, and thought that it would be better to talk on the phone rather than through text.
After a somewhat long dial tone, Tae Gyu answered the call.
[Hmm… Yes.]
It was a voice as if he had just woken up. Eun Jae, who regretted it, quickly checked the time on the wall clock.
It was 9 a.m. Was he oversleeping because it was his day off? It seemed like she had interrupted his nap. If she had known this, she would have just left a text message. She should have just told him to contact her when he woke up.
“I’m sorry… you were sleeping.”
Eun Jae tousled her hair roughly. Why did she always apologize first in front of him?
Rustling, the sound of the bedspread being moved was heard, followed by a low chuckle.
[Wow, I can’t believe it. Is this really Ji Eun Jae? I’m fully awake now.]
“Well, listen… today—”
He was quickwitted. Reading the unusual atmosphere, Tae Gyu quickly intercepted Eun Jae’s words.
[I’m off for the first time in a week. I had surgeries and saw patients from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Afterwards, I was dragged around for research and whatnot, so I got home at 11 last night.]
After a brief pause, Tae Gyu continued with a laugh.
[Let’s meet first. I’ll be there by 12.]
Click. The call was cut off before she could say anything. She felt as if she hadn’t even recovered what she had before the call.
What should she do now?
Eun Jae messed up her already disheveled hair even more, feeling as if something had become tangled.
After the rounds ended, Sun Woo, who had returned to his office, briefly recalled yesterday’s event and burst out in quiet laughter.
“I can’t believe it, she’s already with a man even though the contract was signed just recently.”
It’s fine to text, since they were classmates. But why at that late hour?
Moreover, it had bothered him a lot that she had been texting for quite a while during an important conversation.
How should he put it? It felt as if he had become a shadow, as if his ranking had been pushed back.
Anyway, it was an indescribable feeling, something he had never felt before in his life.
To be honest, he was slightly upset until that point. Until the woman spat out the word ‘tomorrow’.
‘Tomorrow’, which meant today, they were going to meet, just the two of them. When the thought reached that point, he suddenly became angry.
Promising to do his best, asserting there was nothing to lose.
“Who’s responsible if the work goes awry because of this?”
Honestly, it wasn’t so much that he saw this behavior as heading in that direction, he knew it was more akin to jealousy. Yet, Sun Woo didn’t want to admit it.
He didn’t understand why he was feeling something as trivial as jealousy in this situation.
Was it even plausible to feel jealousy in a mere contractual marriage?
The problem usually arises from those close by.
He’ll approach as a classmate, as a friend, and later say that he never saw her as a friend. Didn’t he have a similar example close to him?
Sun Woo, who had been tapping busily on the desk, suddenly heated up.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
