… … … … …

“Huh… …Huh?”

Yes. When I opened my eyes, I was on the lap of the Heavenly President. I was sleeping with my head on her lap.

That is, the reason my vision was a little dark was because her surprisingly large breasts were blocking the light pouring down on my head. I felt my face turn red in an instant.

“Oh, did you sleep well?”

The voice of the Sky CEO was soft. There was a gentle smile on her lips, and her eyes were warm. I was even more embarrassed by her appearance, which was so gentle.

“I, I… … I’m sorry. Since when did I… … ?”

I stuttered and raised my upper body from the lap of the CEO. The CEO was still looking at me with a smile.

“It’s okay. I didn’t wake you up because you seemed to be sleeping comfortably.

Let’s see――I think I slept for about an hour.”

Her words made me even more at a loss. The last memory that came to mind was sitting on the sofa waiting for President Sky.

Perhaps because I couldn’t sleep at night because I was going to see the Sky President with the Sun, I leaned against the sofa and waited for the President, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.

“Excuse me, sir. Are your legs feeling numb?”

The boss shook his head and smiled bashfully.

“No. Rather, it was a good time for me. I felt at ease watching you sleep――”

“I see… … .”

It was a little embarrassing, but I’m glad she said it was okay. Then there was something else I wanted to ask her.

“Excuse me, sir. Did something happen between you and Mr. Taeyang? By any chance… … .”

They fought while grabbing each other’s hair.

Perhaps because there was a hint of worry in his voice, President Haneul’s expression changed subtly for a moment before softening again.

“I can guess what you’re thinking, but that didn’t happen. We were just adults talking.”

“Really? Is it because of me… … .”

“You don’t have to worry.”

The Sky Boss cut me off. This was something that happened very rarely in my interactions with her, so I was a little surprised and closed my mouth. She was also surprised by her own behavior, so she was silent for a moment before continuing in a soft voice.

“… … Sun… … Mr. and… … I had the necessary conversations as adults. Among them was a story about you.

Again, there was absolutely nothing to worry about. Rather, it was a good… …time.”

The tone of voice of the CEO was full of confidence. Only after hearing her words could I breathe a sigh of relief.

“Then where is the sun?”

“… … Ah, Mr. Taeyang drove home after a brief conversation. He said something urgent came up.”

I nodded at the boss’s explanation.

“I see… … . That’s good. I’m glad that the two of you got along well… … .”

At my words, the Heavenly President’s smile deepened. Seeing that made my heart feel much lighter.

“Yes. We are all educated adults, right? We can understand and cooperate with each other.”

I found myself agreeing with the president’s words. Mr. Taeyang may be a bit playful, but both of them were still great people.

I guess I worried for nothing. I felt ashamed that I worried for nothing. They didn’t act violently or roughly. Maybe it’s because proper adults think differently?

… … … … …

“Actually, to celebrate your visit to my house after a long time, I prepared a meal myself while you were sleeping. It’s only your favorite foods.”

I couldn’t help but be surprised by President Haneul’s words. I’d only been working at her store for less than a month, but she remembered my food preferences so well.

“Really? Wow, thank you. But how did you remember all my favorite foods?”

The Sky CEO blushed slightly in embarrassment.

“You are like my… …family. Of course I remember you.”

As I sat down at the table, the food prepared by the Heavenly President was spread out before my eyes. As she had promised, the only food on the table was my favorites.

There was seaweed soup, braised ribs, braised potatoes, grilled mackerel… … and even dishes she had never made before.

“Wow, I really like this spicy stir-fried chicken, how did you know?”

The Sky CEO simply responded with a smile. There seemed to be a deep meaning in that smile that I was unaware of.

“I just… …could tell. That you liked it.”

As the meal began, the Sky Boss sat right next to me. Then he began to remove the bones from the mackerel on my plate, one by one.

“Oh, sir, I can do it too… … ?”

The Sky Boss ignored my words and continued to remove the mackerel bones. Her hand movements were very skillful and natural, as if she had been doing this for a long time.

“It’s okay. I’ll do it. You just enjoy the meal.”

I felt a strange sense of familiarity with her, from her speech and actions. What should I say about this…?

As I stared at her helplessly, not knowing what to do, President Haneul sensed my gaze and stopped what he was doing and looked at me.

“It’s okay. It’s a pleasure for me to take care of you. I hope you enjoy your meal.”

There was a strange maternal love in her actions. Looking at her, I vaguely recalled my mother, who had been alive long ago before the dimensional gate invasion incident.

When I was very young, my mother would sit next to me like this and pull out thorns for me… … .

It may be a bit inappropriate for such a beautiful and young CEO to feel nostalgic for her late mother, but for me now, CEO Sky felt like my mother had returned. I ate the food she had prepared with a heavy heart.

While eating, the Sky Boss kept checking on me. Was the rice enough? Was the side dish tasty? Did I need more water? Her concern was endless.

I know this feels a bit excessive, but it reminds me of when my mother was alive… … .

It might have been a little bit better.

… … … … …

After dinner, the Sky Boss led me back to the living room. I sat down on the cozy sofa that had made me fall asleep, and she brought me some warm tea.

“Okay, here’s the car. Let’s take a break and chat.”

The Sky CEO sat down next to me and smiled. I could see the genuine interest in her eyes.

“How have you been? A lot has happened since we broke up, right?”

After hearing the president’s words, I was lost in thought. As she said, there was so much that couldn’t be expressed in a few words.

“Yes. There were a lot of things.”

I started telling the story slowly.

“After I quit my job at the boss’s store, I worked as a day laborer for a while… … .

One day, on my way home from work, I witnessed members of the Human Defense Association beating a woman. I tried to help the person, but I ended up getting beaten up instead.

At that time, a wonderful woman named Park Seo-ah appeared and saved me.”

I stopped talking and recalled the memories of that day.

“Seo Ah took me to her secret base. At first, I was a little scared, but later I found out that she was really amazing. Like a hero from a movie… … .”

The expression on the face of CEO Haneul as he listened to the story changed subtly. He must have been excited.

“Seo Ah took care of me and taught me a lot. I also helped her with her work. But… … .

Umm, I don’t remember very well. I got seriously injured somehow, and was admitted to the Awakening Association’s hospital room. ”

“At that time, Sister Seoyeon and Teacher Wolhee took care of me. Thanks to them, I was able to recover quickly.

Sister Seoyeon took care of me as soon as she returned from her mission beyond the dimensional gate, and Teacher Wolhee also treated me despite her busy schedule. Thanks to her, I was able to recover quickly. ”

The Sky President simply nodded and listened.

“After being discharged from the hospital… … I rested at home for a while, and then suddenly I wanted to give President Haneul a gift to express my gratitude and apology.

The boss had done so much for me, but I felt so sorry for quitting so suddenly… ”

As soon as I finished speaking, President Sky’s eyes widened slightly. Then, a warm smile appeared on her lips. Seeing that made me feel better, and with my words open, I continued to chatter.

“Ehehehe… … So I went to the department store to choose a gift, and that’s when I met a woman named Kim Taeyang. It was really a coincidence that we met.

At first, I chose leather gloves as a gift for my boss. They were good gloves with a reasonable price that fit my budget.

But when Taeyang saw that, he snatched my leather gloves away and bought me an incredibly expensive designer bag. The bag he bought me cost over 10 million won, right? ”

Surprised by the bag story, President Haneul’s eyes grew wide and his lips hardened.

“Mr. Taeyang, you seem like a really strange and amazing person. To be willing to spend so much money on other people’s gifts…

At first, I wanted to refuse because it was burdensome, but after listening to what Taeyang said, I thought an expensive gift would be better.”

Fall apart.

In the middle of talking, suddenly, CEO Haneul’s teacup cracked.
