Park Jin Sung arrived at the rooftop garden and looked around. After a while, he was able to find his boss smoking a cigarette in a picturesque pose.

Even from afar, his handsome features were noticeable.

A tall stature that seemed to be 190cm and broad shoulders.

Deep black eyes and soft black hair contrasting with pale white skin.

Like a painting.

Such a simple sentence seemed insufficient to describe his boss. He was like a work of art meticulously sculpted by God. It was clear that he was made with such care that he naturally captivated people’s gazes.

Even now, Jin Sung could feel people’s glances darting towards where Seong Jun was standing. Whenever he felt those gazes, Jin Sung would unconsciously straighten his shoulders.

Today was no different. As if he himself was the one receiving all the attention, Jin Sung squared his shoulders and confidently walked towards Seong Jun.

“Sir, here’s your coffee.”

Hearing Jin Sung’s voice, Seong Jun turned his head and stubbed out his cigarette. Then, taking the coffee from Jin Sung, he asked.

“Where’s yours?”

Of course, Jin Sung had not forgotten to order his own drink as well.

“Mine is here.”

Jin Sung proudly waved his drink in front of Seong Jun’s eyes. Unlike Seong Jun who only drank hot Americanos, Jin Sung preferred sweet drinks.

Today too, he had added all possible toppings to his Java Chip Frappuccino.

Drinking such a sweet beverage made him feel like all the fatigue and stress built up during the morning melted away. Just as a smile was spreading across Jin Sung’s face in anticipation of soon tasting that sweet drink.

“Park Jin Sung, your drink looks much more expensive than mine?”

At Seong Jun’s criticism, Jin Sung’s shoulders, which had been rising in an upward curve, slumped dejectedly.

“Well done.”

If he could just endure these occasional jabs, Seong Jun was a good boss both objectively and subjectively.

The salary was generously high compared to Jin Sung’s work, and he would sometimes give extra bonuses for vacation expenses. Moreover, his entire family received educational scholarships and medical benefits from the Han Kyung Welfare Foundation.

Jin Sung still considered complaining to Seong Jun about his difficulty finding a job while drunk as the best thing he’d ever done in his life. However… Aren’t you not supposed to bother even a dog while it’s eating?

“But sir.”

Jin Sung, who had been feeling sorry for himself internally, suddenly asked as if curious.

“Why do you only drink Best Coffee?”

His boss wore custom-tailored suits worth tens of millions of won designed by famous designers. The watch he wore was worth hundreds of millions.

However, contrary to the image that he would drink only high-end coffee brewed with the finest beans, he stubbornly insisted on drinking only coffee from Best Coffee, which was known to be relatively inexpensive.

Although he drank different menu items each time, after drinking from the same cafe for years, Jin Sung was starting to get curious about the taste of coffee from other cafes.

A moment later, Seong Jun’s voice reached Jin Sung’s curious ears.

“Three years ago, a certain mart acquired Best Coffee.”

“…!”

“There’s no need to deliberately consume a competitor’s coffee and give them opportunities. Unless one is a fool.”

“…”

“Ah, didn’t Park Jin Sung say his palate was too refined to eat just anything? Perhaps you’re curious about how other cafe coffees taste? I guess the coffee made by Han Kyung doesn’t suit your refined palate?”

At Seong Jun’s sarcasm, Jin Sung waved his hands.

“Ah, no. That’s not it. The drink just tasted especially good today, so I asked out of empathy. There’s no way Han Kyung’s coffee wouldn’t suit my taste. Haha.”

The certain mart was a subsidiary of the Han Kyung Group. And as long as he was its employee, consuming only products from Han Kyung was beneficial for his career.

He was especially stung because he had been severely scolded by Seong Jun before for buying a phone produced by Han Kyung Group’s rival company.

“Oh right.”

As Jin Sung was internally breaking out in a cold sweat, his eyes suddenly lit up at a thought that crossed his mind.

“After I left like that yesterday, did you properly apologize to your wife?”

And the moment he saw cracks forming in his boss’s face that had been composed no matter what was said, Jin Sung didn’t miss the opportunity to criticize.

“Don’t tell me you just let it slide? Really? If so, brother, I’m truly disappointed in you. I thought you would have apologized, but you didn’t? No matter how good-natured your wife is, she must have been very disappointed in you this time? This is a situation where you’d have nothing to say even if you got divorced right now. Please reflect on your actions.”

The moment the word ‘divorce’ was mentioned, Jin Sung flinched at Seong Jun’s intense glare, but since opportunities to severely criticize Seong Jun, who usually only scolded him, were rare, he raised his voice even more.

Accordingly, Seong Jun’s memories flowed back to when he witnessed his wife crying alone yesterday afternoon, upset about something.

At first, he tried to pretend he didn’t notice.

Considering her sincere effort to quickly wipe away her tears and put on a nonchalant face upon hearing his voice.

But as time passed, he couldn’t shake off the numerous questions gnawing at his mind.

Why was she crying?

What happened? Who made her cry? Had she been crying alone like this before?

Why was she crying? Why on earth?

In the end, contrary to his plan, he impulsively asked her.

Why she had been crying.

His wife looked at Seong Jun for a moment with a resentful face as if asking why he didn’t pretend not to know, then sighed as if giving up and honestly confessed that she had cried because she missed her family.

After saying that, perhaps overwhelmed by emotion, his wife’s eyes reddened again.

Seeing his wife’s face with tears falling one by one, Seong Jun seemed to have been shocked.

Because until then, he had never imagined her crying face even in his imagination.

She was a woman who didn’t react as if she felt nothing but discomfort no matter what he said.

It seems that’s why he was so unimaginably shocked to see such an unexpected sight unfolding before his eyes.

The fact that he was so incredibly shocked to see his crying wife’s face. And the thought that he had to stop her tears by any means necessary.

He doesn’t know why he chose a kiss as the method.

He almost instinctively overlapped his lips with hers.

Whether his intention worked, Seo Yeon immediately stopped crying as soon as he kissed her.

At first, it was truly a pure intention of wanting to stop her tears.

However, as soon as Seong Jun tasted her lips, he forgot his original purpose and began to focus frighteningly on the sensation her lips gave.

He didn’t know human lips could be so soft.

Gently sucking on her upper and lower lips alternately, at some point he parted her wet lips and invaded inside.

When he touched the stiff flesh, Seo Yeon’s body trembled greatly. At the same time, he explored the tender flesh inside. It felt terribly good. It was the first time in his life he had felt such a pleasant sensation.

The round eyes looking at him in surprise, the delicate body exuding a sweet scent, even the lips swollen and wet with saliva.

All of it was excessively stimulating. And it looked excessively pretty.

So even when Seong Jun noticed Seo Yeon’s intention to push him away, he had no intention of complying with her wishes. No. Far from letting go, he pressed his body against hers without any gaps.

He didn’t want to let go. He didn’t want to stop. Just a little more. And murmuring in his heart to go a little deeper, he focused entirely on the unknown ecstatic sensation she was bestowing.

‘Damn it.’

Brought to his senses by the intercom sound, Seong Jun cursed at himself. It was just a collision of lips, but why did that simple action feel so terribly good, why did he act like a senseless person lost in that sensation.

And why could he still only see his wife’s lips that he had been tasting until just moments ago. He couldn’t understand and didn’t want to understand.

It felt like he would act on his own again if he let his guard down even a little. He was flustered. That’s probably why he said those terrible things. And this was the result of that action.

“You’re really going to get divorced at this rate. If you live with a wife as beautiful as a goddess, you should know to take good care of her. Haven’t you ever dated before?”

It wasn’t new for Jin Sung to think of him comfortably. When there were no eyes watching, Seong Jun didn’t restrain his behavior either.

Because he didn’t dislike his affectionate actions towards him every time, when even blood brothers and relatives think of each other as competitors and keep their distance.

But as he kept mentioning his terrible behavior and uttering the word ‘divorce’, Seong Jun’s eyes grew sharply fierce.

“Park Jin Sung.”

“Huh?”

“Is the company a playground? Why is the small talk so long today?”

“No. That’s… brother. This isn’t small talk, I’m giving you advice right now.”

“You want to play with me? If you want to play, feel free to leave work early. Or better yet, don’t come to work at all.”

“…I’m sorry, sir.”

Having finally succeeded in shutting Jin Sung up, Seong Jun recalled Seo Yeon again.

The way she had pouted her lips as if upset with him while seeing him off.

She used to be a woman who didn’t show her emotions to the point where he thought it would be better if she got angry, but now her feelings were clearly conveyed.

And it felt very unfamiliar to find himself fretting and worrying over her every action.

‘…I should apologize.’

Recalling Jin Sung’s voice mentioning divorce again, Seong Jun frowned and irritably ran his hand through his hair.
