The car, as always, traveled the familiar route towards the office.
Externally, nothing appeared to be different than any other day.
While she briefly got lost in thought, she still considered herself fortunate.
She could have easily become close to him and grown fond, but she had realized the previous night that such a relationship wasn’t appropriate.
Their relationship was purely formed out of necessity.
Moreover, it was a matter directly linked to survival.
If what one desires disappears, the relationship would end without any lingering feelings.
‘Mixing personal emotions in business is just tiring.’
Kang pondered as she fixed her gaze out the window.
Today, she didn’t feel the usual prying eyes following her.
Even he, who always looked directly at her, didn’t seem to be paying her any attention today.
‘Yes, let’s just continue like this. It’s more comfortable for everyone.’
While immersed in such thoughts, a sigh unintentionally escaped her lips.
And to her annoyance, the overly sharp-eared Sam-young caught it.
“Kang, what’s wrong?”
Hearing her sigh, he reacted with great concern.
“Huh? No, nothing.”
“You’re not feeling unwell, are you?”
“I’m fine. Slept well and I’m in great shape.”
She responded at length, a bit flustered.
His attention then turned to San.
“San, what about you? Did something bad happen?”
“Yes.”
San’s straightforward answer surprised Kang even more.
She turned to see what was on his mind, but San continued to stare out the window.
“What happened?”
Sam-young asked, to which San replied,
“I didn’t like last night’s dinner menu.”
Kang, understanding the implications and circumstances behind those words, kept quiet. But Sam-young, oblivious, looked absolutely bewildered.
He remarked with a hint of sarcasm, “You seem to care a lot about food.”
San didn’t deny.
Driven by curiosity, Sam-young continued,
“What did you eat?”
“I planned to eat something delicious at home, but I was too hungry and ended up snacking on the way.”
“What snack?”
“Um… a hotdog.”
‘She mentioned a hotdog of all things.’
Kang internally rebuked San’s random comment about the hotdog.
However, Sam-young’s passion for food seemed no less.
“Wow, hotdogs are tasty. I love the ones with potatoes!”
“It wasn’t good.”
“Oh, really? It’s a food that’s usually delicious when you’re hungry.”
“Not for me. It was so bad; it felt like eating dirt.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes, it felt like I was eating mud.”
Watching San be so passionate about a mere hotdog, Sam-young felt dry-lipped.
Regretting his line of questions, San continued, still evidently upset.
“There are no good restaurants nearby.”
“…”
“The one dish I truly enjoy could run out anytime, making me anxious.”
“Just stock up.”
“It’s a rare dish with limited production. It’s not always available.”
San turned his head and slowly said to Kang,
“Above all,”
“…”
“It’s a dish where freshness is key, so you can’t store it.”
Kang, who found herself inadvertently staring at him, felt her gaze intertwined with his and couldn’t look away.
Only Sam-young kept talking animatedly.
“So, what is it? Sashimi? Tuna? Or maybe raw liver… something like that?”
To his speculation, San only responded with a light smile.
Then, Kang interjected,
“Let’s stop discussing food. I’m starting to get hungry too.”
“Right. Our Kang is on a diet, and she might be getting sensitive. I’ve been talking too much. Sorry, sorry.”
Once Sam-young stopped, the car’s interior quickly became quiet.
After a brief meeting, Kang left the company on time.
It was because of her appointment with author Yang Eun-oh.
Seoul began to light up, creating a beautiful scene.
Their meeting was held at a Chinese restaurant in a hotel located in Seoul.
Upon entering the private room, both author Yang Eun-oh and director Sung Chan-soo greeted her warmly.
“Welcome.”
Author Yang Eun-oh, with her sparsely white-haired bob, extended her hand for a handshake.
Meeting Eun-oh in person for the first time, Kang couldn’t hide her excitement.
“Hello, ma’am. It’s an honor to meet you.”
Her face turned red as she confessed that she had always been a fan of Eun-oh.
Yang Eun-oh, with his hearty laughter, mentioned that he had always wanted to work with her and had been deeply impressed by her previous project.
There had been a connection between the director and Director Hwang, so they had met before.
“Ms. Kang, I strongly recommended you to Author Yang.”
“Thank you, Director.”
“We’re the ones who are grateful. Let’s discuss the rest over dinner.”
“Yes.”
The atmosphere was very warm, as her participation in the project was nearly confirmed.
The title of the drama was ‘Secret Garden’, a crime investigation story. Kang was slated to play the role of Shin Cha-hee, a female detective from the drug investigation unit.
Another notable feature of this drama was the significant participation of actors who were former models or idols.
Starting with Kang, who was cast as the lead, Yang Shin-hwi, who was playing Moon Sung-jun, was also a renowned former model.

It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
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: “…”
