Lim Soojeong, who had left her home, walked down the street with a deeply furrowed expression.

“Kang Sunwoo, you won’t get away with it today for sure.”

Soojeong, her lips tightly pursed, quickened her pace as she recalled the things that had made her uncomfortable.

The mysterious woman who had made her uncomfortable over the phone and suddenly changed her attitude, showing a rebellious side towards Soojeong’s facade-like lover, Kang Sunwoo.

“Who the hell is that woman? Who is she to answer the phone instead of Kang Sunwoo and talk nonsense to me? What’s her relationship with Kang Sunwoo?”

No matter how many times she thought about it, Soojeong couldn’t figure out who that woman was.

She had also received a hint from the lady who had bought her, that there was no such woman around Kang Sunwoo.

Unable to bear it any longer, Soojeong tried to call Sunwoo directly to confront him, but he never answered the phone. Instead of relieving stress, it only piled up more, causing wrinkles to form on her forehead.

After suspecting that her number might have been blocked, Soojeong borrowed the smartphone of her fourth lover with whom she shared a bed and called Sunwoo through it. And the moment she heard Sunwoo’s voice, her suspicion turned into certainty, and in a fit of anger, Soojeong lost her composure and showered him with all sorts of curses, just as she had done before.

However, Sunwoo, raising his voice to the cursing Soojeong, managed to surprise her. For the first time, he showed a rebellious side to Soojeong, no matter what curses she hurled at him or how humiliating her remarks were.

“You dare to talk to me like that? Where… Just wait and see later, hehe…”

With a bitter smile, Soojeong muttered to herself, checking the time on her smartphone.

Although the promised time was long past in the evening, Soojeong, not the least bit flustered, set off with light steps. This was all to give Sunwoo, who had made her uncomfortable, a hard time.

If Sunwoo, tired of waiting, left first? No matter how much time had passed, she had appeared at the meeting place, so if she made it impossible for him to approach her again, that would be the end of it.

Even if things went awry, she had her benefactor and Sunwoo’s older brother behind her, so she had nothing to worry about.

“But he’ll still be eagerly waiting for me to come, won’t he? That fool thinks I like him.”

Once again bowing her head, Soojeong imagined Sunwoo asking for forgiveness, and a chuckle escaped her.

A while later, upon arriving at the cafe, the designated meeting place, Soojeong shifted her gaze to the table where Sunwoo was supposed to be waiting.

Despite three hours having passed since the appointed time, Sunwoo, who was still waiting for her, was not showing any signs of fatigue. Instead, he was looking at a black box placed on the table with a cheerful expression.

It was a small box that could be held in one hand, but it was clearly meant to contain some precious piece of jewelry.

Every time he opened it, Sunwoo’s smile reached his ears, making anyone who saw him feel embarrassed.

Soojeong stared blankly at Sunwoo for a while, and soon she reached a conclusion.

“Could it be that he’s not planning to propose to me, is he?”

Feeling unexpectedly happy, she nodded her head and approached Sunwoo with a smile on her lips.

“Sorry for being late~ Did you wait long?”

“Uh, uh? No! I just got here a moment ago, too.”

Discovering the modifications, Sunwoo was flustered and hastily tucked the box he held in his hand into his coat pocket.

Looking at the empty coffee cups on the table, one could tell how long he had been waiting for the modifications, but the modifications seemed indifferent.

“Hehehe, so? Did you call me here for a reason?”

Modifications slowly stared into Sunwoo’s eyes.

It wasn’t the hazy, vacant eyes he had seen before, but eyes filled with sharpness.

“Well, actually. I have something I want to tell you,” Modifications said with a determined expression, gazing into Sunwoo’s eyes. Sunwoo, who had maintained a relaxed attitude, felt a sudden blush creeping up on him.

And Modifications confirmed as he watched Sunwoo fidget with the box in his pocket.

What was hidden in the box Sunwoo held was a ring.

And he would propose by giving her that ring.

“I really caught a big fish, didn’t I.”

Feeling a joy and satisfaction he had never experienced before, Modifications trembled. It was the first time she had shown a calm face to Sunwoo, whom she had been planning to torment before coming here.

“She tried to find out who that woman was, but that’s something I’ll deal with later.”

What was important right now was that Sunwoo was going to propose. If she accepted his proposal and they got married, Modifications would become a part of the Taebaek Group.

The golden life she had dreamed of since childhood was about to unfold.

Although Modifications had despised Sunwoo so much, at this moment, she felt so happy and ecstatic that she could allow herself to be with him.

Due to her relationships with many men, she had been diagnosed as infertile, but since the official successor of Taebaek would eventually go to Master Kang Geonwoo, if Sunwoo wanted a child, they could just adopt a suitable one.

“Kang Sunwoo. How long are you going to make me wait? Take out the ring and put it on my left ring finger quickly.”

As Modifications impatiently reached out her left hand, Sunwoo bowed his head.

And then, with an even more determined face, he raised his head to gaze at Modifications.

And as Modifications imagined herself becoming a member of the royal family while watching Sunwoo take a deep breath,

“Let’s break up now.”

At Sunwoo’s bombshell statement, Modifications witnessed her sweet golden dream shattering right before her eyes.

However,

“…Whose decision is that?”

It wasn’t Modifications who would give up so easily.

“Really, aren’t you too enthusiastic from the morning, sir? You did so much last night…”

I, who was peacefully sleeping, woke up from the passionate gestures coming from above and below.

Still groggy from sleep, I saw the man acting more flirtatiously than usual, and a small smile formed on my face.

“If you show off your sexy body like that from the morning, how can I resist?”

The man, who had been gazing into my eyes with warm eyes, smiled and removed his hand from my hip and sat up.

“Now you’re acting all shy, even though you’re naked too.”

“Hahaha, am I?”

The man, showing a smile, scratched his pink-tinted cheek and turned his head.

To others, it might look like he was blushing out of embarrassment, but considering that he came home with a shirt stained with coffee, it was clear that he had been teased by someone.

He claimed that someone accidentally spilled the coffee, but it was doubtful if it was really an accident.

“Are you studying well these days?”

Leaning my face against the man’s well-toned upper body, he gently ran his fingers through my hair and spoke.

“Yeah, Minjeong taught me everything I didn’t know, so it seems like everything is going well without any difficulties.”

“Is that so? Well, that’s fortunate.”

With a kind smile, the man stroked my head, looking relieved and happy at the same time.

Seeing his face, I felt a sense of calm settling in my heart.

“But weren’t we both asleep in the living room?”

“Oh, I woke up about an hour ago, but you kept sleeping, so I moved you to the bed and we slept together.”

“…Wait, did you do anything while I was asleep?”

“Uh, what do you mean?”

When I shot him a suspicious look, the man avoided my gaze as if he felt guilty about something. Somehow, there were condoms scattered all over the bed…

“What did you do while I was asleep… you pervert!”

“Sorry, I couldn’t resist after seeing your sexy body.”

Offering such an absurd excuse, the man begged for forgiveness, saying, “Don’t make that face—” But his attempt to seek forgiveness only made me frown more, although his lips seemed to curl up.

“Is it really true that you feel sorry for what you did to me?”

Nodding his head in response to my question, the man let out a small laugh, then I placed my hand on his chest, gently pushed him onto the bed, and lay down.

“Is this a favor?”

“If you’re really sorry… then comfort me right now.”

As I whispered while looking straight into the man’s eyes, without a word, we both embraced each other and kissed. The pounding of his heart against my well-shaped chest seemed to connect us, creating a feeling of unity between us.
