“I never said I would end it! Why, who said it’s over as they please! What was I waiting for for four years with what feelings!”

Jian sighed deeply and looked at the engagement ring still on Kim Soye’s ring finger.

“You waited on your own. Stalking! Why should Vice President accept that?”

“Shut up! Why did you reappear, crying and making noise in front of me!”

Unable to control her anger, Soye shouted back.

Seoyun, whom Jian had met and promised to part ways with before her marriage to Kanghyun, was surprisingly adept at understanding the situation.

Her appearance, where she cried like a sinner while promising to break up, was satisfying.

Now, however, her frustration had risen to the point where she wanted to grab Seoyun’s hair, which was being swept away with excuses of memory loss.
“What are you saying?”

“Please disappear, stay away from Taekanghyun! You’re truly horrible, like a ghost clinging to Taekanghyun, whether alive or dead!”

Since the situation has already turned, Soye poured out words without holding back, not distinguishing between words she should or shouldn’t say, and quickly fled from her place.

In the situation of being distant from Sooyun, if Kanghyun were to return, it might really turn into a situation where he would get an earful.

“Crazy, who’s saying this now!”

Jian, who looked blankly at the spot where Kim Soye disappeared, quickly approached the elevator.

“Hey!”

Pressing the button vigorously to catch the elevator, which was closing on both sides, Jian saw the red number on the display decreasing.

Feeling like she had lost, Jian, who had been confidently swaggering for a while, pressed her neck, which was twitching.

“If you don’t want to be stamped as a mistress at a young age, keep this promise.”

While pondering Soye’s incomprehensible words, Jian suddenly recalled a voice that came to mind this morning and felt that it was similar to Kim Soye’s. For no reason, she felt breathless.

“What are you thinking?”

Haha, an awkward laughter echoed in the space where no one was listening.

Jian briefly pressed her forehead against the cold entrance door to cool down.

“Seowon Enter CEO Gusejun has been indicted by the prosecution for continuous embezzlement charges over the four years since taking office.

There is controversy surrounding Chairman Taeseokgyu, who appointed Gusejun as the CEO and knew about the embezzlement of hundreds of millions of won, yet tolerated it, leading to his removal of Seowon Enter’s industry-leading professional manager, Mr. Seo. The police, investigating the embezzlement case, plan to conduct a search and seizure at Seowon Enter headquarters tomorrow morning.

If evidence of Taeseokgyu’s involvement is found, attention is focused on whether the prosecutor will summon Taeseokgyu.”
“When relevant circumstances related to Chairman Taeseokgyu are discovered, attention is focused on whether the prosecution will summon Chairman Taeseokgyu.」

The announcer’s lively voice echoed in the quiet house.

Half-opening her mouth, Jian, who had been concentrating on the news, fumbled for her phone while touching the sofa.

All the articles at the top of the portal site were related to Seowon Group.

Jian chuckled as she searched for Kanghyun’s name sporadically.

Kanghyun, who had healed well from surgery and removed the bandage, was busy moving around.

Thinking that she might not be able to spend Christmas Eve, which was approaching, with him at this rate, Jian tapped her nonexistent head impatiently.

Unable to interfere with Kanghyun, who started shaking the board borrowing Seokwon’s words to mark the occasion, as a date, Jian turned the channel while waiting for Kanghyun to return and, hearing a faint electronic sound of the door lock, got up and headed to the entrance.

Wanting to see Kanghyun as soon as possible, the indoor slippers hurriedly pressed the rug.

“You’re here?”

Jian’s sparkling eyes greeted Kanghyun.

Kanghyun, who wiped off his fatigued face and smiled faintly, opened his arms and embraced Jian.

“Don’t keep taming me.”

“Huh?”

“If I open the door and you’re not here, I might stand here and keep waiting. Like a dog that lost its owner.”

“Surely not.”

Kanghyun, hugging Jian, who was smiling innocently, slowly walked down the corridor.

Pushed by Kanghyun, who was walking and looking straight ahead, Jian, who was dancing with a backstep, had her slipper slipped off from her foot.

Instead of the soft slipper, the feeling of the rug’s soft touch tickled her heels.

In the house with a cream-colored rug, a warm atmosphere lingered.

The cold and gloomy air disappeared, and laughter didn’t leave.

In the space where bright sunlight came in during the day and the Christmas tree, carefully crafted, emitted light at night, the two spent time close together.

Although not even half of the month was filled, passing days seemed regrettable.

Kanghyun, who sat on the sofa first, habitually pulled Jian’s arm to make her thighs rest on his thighs.

“We should have dinner.”

“Just 10 minutes.”

Except for unavoidable situations, Kanghyun, who never tried to leave Jian unless necessary, buried his face in the white nape of her neck.

The breath, breathing deeply enough to make the chest move, heated the area around Jian’s shoulders.

Expecting the following action due to the continuous days, Jian, who anticipated it, first untied Kanghyun’s tie and unbuttoned the buttons on his shirt collar.

“Did you see the Seowon Enter news?”

“I need to lure Chairman Taeseokgyu down using that as bait. That’s why I got a bit busy.”

“You shouldn’t overdo it yet, right? If you need me, please let me know anytime.”

Kanghyun nodded briefly and covered Jian’s lips.

The flesh that penetrated smoothly into the opening, as if exploring her mouth, roamed around without hesitation, thanks to the past few days.
The hand that supported Jian’s waist naturally slipped into her clothes and traced along her spine.

Jian responded to him by reaching into the loosened shirt collar, slipping her fingers inside.

Just the slender fingers touching beneath the nape of the neck.

The uneasy vibration emanating from Kanghyun scratched the roof of his mouth.

Ah, so good.

With each captured yearning sigh, an exhilarating thrill surged from toe to head in an instant.

He was even swayed by a strong impulse to unbutton a few more buttons of his neat shirt.
