The chicken has arrived.

I quickly stopped Yeonseo from getting up and went out to pick up the bag placed in front of me.

To make sure our saint was not uncomfortable, I quickly unwrapped the chicken radish, poured water, and served it to her.

I opened the box of chicken and was given a cup filled with cola. A sweet and salty aroma wafted out.

I immediately picked up a chicken leg and held it out to Yeonseo.

“Be careful, it’s hot.”

“Are you eating with your hands?”

“Yeah.”

Yeonseo held the chicken leg with her index fingers on both hands and bit into the meatiest part, the center.

“Ugh!”

Yeonseo’s eyes widened and her face relaxed. Thank goodness. I wondered if this would make the mood better. At that moment, I was about to pick up some chicken.

“So Se-yeon, why is she biting you and hanging on?”

I put it back down quietly.

Yes, that’s right.

Before the chicken arrived, I couldn’t resist Yeonseo’s questioning and ended up confessing everything that happened today.

Yeonseo, who had heard that he had been talking nonsense about her, felt colder the more she listened to the explanation.

Thanks to you, I also felt relieved.

“That’s… I feel like Yoon Kang was just annoying me, so he used me as a shield. I felt really bad too. He did that to me in front of other people.”

Although I actively appealed that I was also offended, Yeonseo sighed through her nose while nimbly eating the chicken leg.

If you do that a few more times, the chicken will all get cold.

“Jinhyeon-ah.”

“Yeah.”

“Why did he do that to you?”

“Maybe it’s because I look the most harmless? You know, I don’t really pay attention to people.”

“I don’t know because I haven’t seen it myself?”

We saw it all in Askria.

Yeonseo, you were the first to ask me why I don’t care about people.

“I don’t even have their numbers. The only women’s contacts are you and the boss. Should I show you?”

“Show me.”

As I quickly took out my smartphone at those words, I felt a slight dizziness.

Me… why are you even opening my contact information?

What on earth does Yeonseo want to control me about?

We may be a couple on the outside, but why am I being managed so seriously?

“Huh, really.”

“You understand.”

“How can I not know when I only have 3 contacts?”

The remaining one is Jonghyun hyung.

As an aside, the blocked number contained three contacts.

Yeonseo’s expression quickly became grim after seeing only a few phone books.

Now, I held the chicken breast part with confidence and humility.

“But he asked for your number?”

I put it back down quietly.

“I refused.”

“It’s just a shield, do I need to ask for a number?”

“I don’t know that part exactly, right? But I think Yoon Kang kept calling Se Yeon and not letting her sit still for even a moment, so maybe he was trying to make a strong impact?”

“Are you defending that woman now?”

No, I’m defending myself.

If this continues, what am I supposed to do?

Although she looked at me with suspicion, Yeonseo believed in my innocence.

At that moment, when he had no choice but to hand me the phone,

Jieeeing

The vibration was a KakaoTalk notification.

“Huh? Who is there at this hour….”

It was Seyen.

The three letters Han Se-yeon are clearly visible in the notification.

When I saw that, both I and Yeonseo became frozen.

‘Did you get in okay?’

Jieeeing

‘I just got here.’

Jieeeing

‘It was resolved well with Yoon Kang too.’

Jiiing

‘I’m calling to let you know that you can rest easy now.’

Stop sending me, you crazy bitch!

I almost broke my smartphone because of the vibration.

KakaoTalk messages coming in one after another at a rapid pace.

Yeonseo put down the chicken leg she was eating on the plate in front of her.

Just by looking at him, you could tell he had lost his appetite.

“Yeonseo. It’s not really me. I explained it to you earlier. You sent me weird KakaoTalk messages and then you asked me out for nothing. It’s all a show, a show!”

“Ah, seriously, today is not fun. Some people are flirting with girls, but I don’t even know that and just wait for them to come home…”

“I wanted to come back soon and see you too!”

“You left work with another girl?”

“… Sigh.”

The story goes round and round.

If things were like this, I wouldn’t be able to explain any further.

I finally got home after finishing all that crappy work, and I felt out of breath.

Just like when I was at home.

Now that I have kept my mouth shut, Yeonseo has noticed me.

I didn’t know Yeonseo and I would have this kind of atmosphere.

If you’re going to keep nitpicking even though I’m actively saying no, then I don’t even need to say anything.

“I’m sorry….”

In the end, Yeonseo apologized.

“I know you’re not the kind of person who would do that. I believe you are… But the more I thought about it, the more I felt bad, so I did it.”

“Yeonseo, I know it’s unpleasant. It’s perfectly acceptable.”

I won’t do something stupid like kicking someone out when they’re trying to talk to me first. I didn’t like it either, but things can only be resolved if we talk to each other.

“If I saw Yeonseo talking to other guys outside, I wouldn’t feel too good either.”

“Really?”

“I’m serious.”

“Why… I feel bad?”

Look at this. You’ve been so angry all this time and now you’re asking me why? It’s embarrassing.

“I just hate it.”

“Just imagine?”

“I don’t really want to imagine that. But if you start going out without me someday, that’s going to happen a lot. You have to live in society too.”

“I don’t want to go out without you.”

“You can’t do that every time, right?”

“I know, I know. What do you mean?”

He nodded, but he looked somewhat dissatisfied.

Normally I wouldn’t do such a prank, but I decided to give it a try.

“Don’t you like me too much?”

Then Yeonseo blinked her eyes wide, folded her arms on the table, placed her face on them, and squinted.

“I only have you.”

It clearly means that he only knows himself when he comes to this world, but I interpreted that statement ambiguously in my own way.

There’s no one but me… The responsibility is huge.

He lifted his index finger and poked Yeonseo’s pretty nose.

“Eunyunyu-!”

Yeonseo’s frowning face was quite funny, but also incredibly cute.

As I unconsciously smiled and looked at her, Yeonseo also met my eyes quietly.

“That smile.”

Yeonseo, with her waist pinned, placed a flower stand on the table.

“You didn’t show it to anyone?”

“Hmm~ There’s one person.”

“Who is it?”

Eyes that become sharp in an instant.

“You.”

“… Are you an idiot?”

It just comes loose right away.

Yeonseo, who was holding back a laugh by pursed her lips, looked at me coldly.

“You won’t worry, right?”

“Never.”

Then I also threw in a mischievous, subtle remark.

“I don’t care about anyone else but you?”

“After?”

Yeonseo is flustered as she hears a strange sound.

How about it, I’ll counterattack as well.

Where do you want to hear only comfortable words from me?

I’m going to have some trouble figuring out how to take it.

Just think about whether he is only interested in himself while caring for the saint who came over to this world.

Yeonseo, who figured out my intentions, snorted and picked up the chicken leg again.

“You’re being mean.”

Maybe I went a little too far with the joke.

Yeonseo, who had been eating the meat cleanly, smiled brightly at me.

“Chicken is delicious!”

It was only then that I caught some chicken breast.

Suddenly, I felt incredibly hungry.

They couldn’t bring themselves to lift the chicken leg and gave it all to Yeonseo.

I decided to sleep in the living room today.

After drying Yeonseo’s hair after she finished showering, we turned on the TV and lay down.

When I lay down first, Yeonseo naturally put her arm around me and turned her body towards the TV.

I wonder if it’s okay for a man and a woman to have contact like this, but Yeonseo seemed very anxious today, so let’s just leave it alone.

“Wow, the sea is beautiful.”

Yeonseo especially liked documentaries about nature.

He said that he doesn’t hate dramas, but he doesn’t enjoy watching people’s conflicts.

He doesn’t like people that much either, just like me.

While we were chatting about trivial things, we both fell asleep without anyone saying anything.

The two of us leaned against each other in the living room, with the TV playing at a low volume as white noise.

Yeonseo, who confirmed that Jinhyeon was fast asleep, slowly opened her eyes on her own.

I quietly look at his face, dimly illuminated by the light from the TV.

His face is plain, but has strong, masculine lines with distinct facial features.

Yeonseo liked this face.

Actually, Yeonseo liked Jinhyeon no matter what kind of face he made.

Yeonseo, who had been staring blankly for a moment, carefully brought her lips to the nape of his neck.

“I’m so sorry today. But please don’t hate me for this.”

Let’s kiss again.

The sensation on my lips was incredibly sweet.

This tickling feeling between my lips and my chest wasn’t bad.

Just one more time…

“Hmm.”

Jinhyeon, who felt ticklish from Yeonseo’s kiss, instinctively pulled Yeonseo closer.

Jinhyeon wrapped his arms around Yeonseo’s head and placed it on his chest, slowly stroking her hair.

Oh, good.

He took care of taking me to his side.

Yeonseo also fell asleep again with a relaxed expression.

The two people’s murmurs of joy melted into the noise of the TV.
